JB Hager, Johan Bruyneel, and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter briefly break down how Israel-Premier Tech's Stephen Williams won the Tour Down Under, what Bora and Sam Welsford's sprinting dominance means for the rest of the season, and why Jayco-Alula underperformed at their home race, before getting into the breakout performance from UAE’s 20-year-old Isaac del Toro, who won a stage and finished on the overall podium in his first career WorldTour outing. Afterward, they discuss Sunday's epic showdown between Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, and Tom Pidcock at the Benidorm Cyclocross World Cup in Spain, which produced what will likely be the defining race of the 2023/2024 CX season.
