In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we review two big gala events that took place in Paris this week - the V\\xe9lo d\\u2019Or awards ceremony and the presentation of the 2024 Tour de France routes.\\xa0
\\n
\\nDaniel Friebe is joined by veteran reporter and resident francophile Fran\\xe7ois Thomazeau plus top commentator Rob Hatch to give our verdict on the V\\xe9lo d\\u2019Or voting panel\\u2019s decisions - and on two Tour de France routes, men\\u2019s and women\\u2019s, that pack an awful lot of ingredients into what look like a pair of exceedingly rich cakes.
\\n
\\nFinally, we resume last week\\u2019s conversation about seasoned pros who find themselves jobless at the end of the 2023 campaign. After Tsgabu Grmay last week, it\\u2019s Joe Dombrowski\\u2019s turn to tell us about his fight to stay alive in the WorldTour. \\xa0
