2. Welcome to Hell

Episode 2 is focused on the team of the Tour, Jumbo-Visma. We get an at-home visit with Wout van Aert, plus a training day with Primoz Roglic, and then a glimpse into the tension between van Aert’s desire and ability to win stages and his role working for Jonas Vingegaard for the overall.

What is The Beginner's Guide to Pro Cycling?

Cycling is a beautiful sport. It's also a nightmare for new fans to get into – a mess of jargon, history, and tactics, spread across a long and confusing calendar.
