The Entertainer: Pidcock's Progress

Richie Porte is down, but not out of Tour de France contention yet. Fighting talk from the frank Australian as he discusses his long journey from Tasmanian triathlons to WorldTour stage race glory, his brutal Tour crash and fraying relations with Chris Froome.

We’re at home in Yorkshire with Tom Pidcock, the junior world champion who keeps winning races and stunning us with his bike handling skills.

Our man Timm Kölln gets up high for double exposure photographic action from Six-Day Berlin, the oldest in the world. It’s track racing as you’ve never seen it before.

Also featuring: a touching interview with Peter Broeckx as his son, Lotto rider Stig, fights back from a life-threatening crash, head-to-toe California soul with Giro, inside the Pro Cycling Stats camper van, Paris-Brest-Paris and cool kit to keep you warm this winter.

Plus columnists Matt Seaton, Matt Rendell and Philippa York.
