Published: Sept. 8, 2020, 8 a.m.

Episode 7: Our team of diarists take us inside the Tour de France bubble again. We hear from Simon Geschke of CCC Team about being in the thick of the action in the Pyrenees and from Connor Swift of Nairo Quintana's Arkéa-Samsic team about what it's like to ride in the peloton in the mountains. We also hear from Ineos Grenadiers rider Pavel Sivakov about the Tour stage that went three kilometres from the home where he grew up and from Nikias Arndt of Sunweb about the spectactors who were – and weren't – wearing masks on the roadside.

Despatches from our team of audio diarists will appear throughout our Tour de France coverage as well as in Kilometre 0. The full line-up is Nikias Arndt, Sam Bewley, Simon Geschke, Ryan Gibbons, Jens Keukeleire, Michael Mørkøv, Lukas Pöstlberger, Pavel Sivakov, Connor Swift and sports director Tom Southam.

Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Zwift, the app for riding, training and racing at home. Kilometre 0 is a 15-part series published on weekday mornings during the Tour de France.
