European Cyclocross Champ Helen Wyman talks about her season, the upcoming World Championships, and how to improve women’s cyclocross. Blazin’ Saddles’ Eurorag Racing Roundup has a Gran Canaria feel, and Neil Browne pops in to discuss his cycling apocalypse. Jonny goes “Undercover Gunn” to analyze the mental stability of some famous directeur sportif, and what’s with the new glasses? It’s a power-packed show! And did we mention Liz Hatch, Pippo Pozzato, and Mario Cipollini in the same sentence? What’s the meaning? You’ll have to watch to find out!

In anticipation of the upcoming Bond thriller, SkyFall, Ripp and Jonny sport their best finery and pay homage to 007. The cycling season transitions from road to mud, and we foray into the world of cyclocross with Slate Olson stopping by to talk Rapha and racing, while Joan Hanscom checks in to give us an update on the USGP action. Politics takes center stage as the UCI comes under fire from all sides in the Armstrong fallout. We check out the 2013 Tour de France route, Blazin’ Saddles dishes on the European happenings across the pond, and everybody wonders what IS that thing on his head? The Sufferfest’s Top Five Moments in Suffering takes a redemptive tone, Team Sky’s zero-tolerance policy is examined, and Undercover Gunn takes a road trip and makes a wrong turn, leading us to wonder – What’s happened to Jonny’s glasses?

“The Gunn” and “The Ripper” talk Paul Kimmage, the UCI, and maybe a little bit of racing. Rupert Guinness stops by to offer his latest thinking on current events, and Dean Downing of Rapha Condor Sharp talks about his projects and his season. We introduce “Patty and Heinie’s Stick Figure Theater,” give the CCNN treatment to Vulpine’s newest product offering, and somehow channel a little Public Enemy. Blazin’ Saddles is back to talk Kimmage, Tenerife, Lombardia, and other subjects including clowns. We’ve got a Lombardia feel to this episode’s Top 5 Moments of Suffering brought to you, as always, by The Sufferfest. And after this episode, we’ll get to see just how much of a sense of humour the crew in Aigle actually have.

Jonny and Ripp break down the top headlines including Lotto Belisol rider Adam Hansen’s Grand Tour Omnium championship win with special congratulations from members of the cycling world, Pippo Pozzato’s sort-of suspension, and the first half of the World Championships. We welcome Koen de Kort and Laura Meseguer for discussions on the Vuelta, dinner dates, and the World Championships. Did we say Laura Meseguer? That’s right, we have an in-depth interview with Laura Meseguer. Oh and Koen de Kort. And Bridie O’Donnell is back for more Bon Mots, Blazin’ Saddles does his dance club impersonation, and Jonny gets a break from Undercover Gunn. Episode 14 marks the worldwide premiere of the Cyclismas Action Wipes commercial, and the Top 5 Moments in Suffering sponsored by The Sufferfest has a distinct Valkenburg feel. Huggsy returns as the Twitter bird takes a holiday, and what did Jonny say about Frank Mercer at the end of the episode?
