Welcome to the list of the Maillot Jaune Radio’s Favourites! Official and will be updated with any changes that happen and lists both teams of which Maillot Jaune Radio is supporter and individual riders. It’s the same style as March 3rd,2018 but decided to do a new version just because.

This list also doesn’t include some unofficial favourites like Rossetto or T. Martin who get their spots in things like “GC Testers” though. Sorry for that, but this is a list only for official ones!

From lowest low to highest high – There we have new Maillot Jaune Radio’s Favourite…officially!

ko256a

It’s been wild 6 years, there’s no doubt, but this story shows it perfectly, the story with an happy end as, oh well, he hadn’t “easy life” in officially non-existant Maillot Jaune Radio in 2013 and then in 2019 he becomes officially Maillot Jaune Radio’s Favourite. If you don’t know about which is the announcement yet… it’s all about the current (as of July 7th,2019 when I write this) French Road Race Champion and everyone’s favourite (I don’t think there’s anyone except 2013 me who hates him) Warren “Wawa” Barguil

Maillot Jaune Radio’s Voice #4: Was 2018 a Thibaut’s Dream Season?

Final_Animated_Thibaut

It’s a quite unusual episode today, not because the most recent one was relased in April (or in May if we count the one Giro Specials episode), but because this episode is quite clearly something for Pinot fans… (possibly future Pinot’s fans? Or just the ones who like him at all) written by a Pinot’s fan since 2015. Is 3 years much or not… that’s not the topic of that episode, it depends on who is reading it now.
It’s all about Pinot’s Season 2018… or at least majority of it 😛
It’s been his 68 racedays…68 days of highs and lows, 68 days of joy but also of sadness. So can we still call those 68 days of the season 2018 Thibaut Pinot’s Dream Season? It all depends on which days of those 68 days we will focus. I guess it’s time to present it, all those highest highs and all those lowest lows.
