Riding for Ratcliffe's INEOS & will protests change Tour de France forever?

Did Sir Jim Ratcliffe's clunky Amorim vs. Arteta comparison make sense? Is England manager Thomas Tuchel right to put team cohesion ahead of individual talent in a World Cup year and could you win a point against a pro tennis player?

Double Olympic gold-medallist Geraint Thomas - who calls Ratcliffe a personal friend - is now looking to move into INEOS management. So what's it like behind the scenes there and is Sir Jim always so patient?

Plus, Thomas' pride in the UK's 'cycling boom', being part of a golden era of British riders and if recent protests at La Vuelta could change the Tour de France forever?
