Remco's Microscopic Win & The New King of Lombardia

The professional road season is entering its final, violent death rattle. Pat, Paul, and Jackson are in the Bunker to break down a microscopic 0.0002-second photo finish at the Euro Champs that had Giulio Ciccone demanding a forensic audit. Then, we look ahead to the final Monument of 2026: Il Lombardia. With Pogačar sidelined on the couch, who steps into the power vacuum?

Plus, the weather in the Pacific Northwest is turning, forcing the panel to debate the exact temperature where retreating to the basement for a smart trainer workout becomes legally and morally acceptable. We wrap it all up with another brutal round of Real vs. Fake in the Broom Wagon.
