People ask for advice on their health insurance and health debt often. They also ask for updates on my case, which I’ve been scared to provide. In light of current events, I got a lot of folks suddenly asking “what ever happened with your thing, Phil?” So here it is…hopefully the last update on this whole mess. I hope this helps someone. Feel free to message me if you think I can help, or see the letter in my video description that I sent to various entities. I’m not a lawyer and never worked wi...

https://fascatcoaching.com/pages/app video version: https://youtu.be/8B9dydKJcHo I watch the races and the commentary, just waiting for someone to start screaming about whatever seems obvious or insane to me and needs to be pointed out in commentary or news analysis. When that doesn't happen, that means I have to make a video. This one explains why some nations have more riders than others, how that affects the tactics, and why a triathlete who DIDN'T START THE RACE is the best teammate of the 2...

I'll finish this Tour de France series with a recap of the final stages, a summary of the winners and losers (by team and individual)--who's happy and who has to go back to the drawing board (factoring in team budgets and goals), and I'll also answer the question that I get most often, which therefore shouldn't be ignored: do I think the tour and its winners are clean? https://www.invisiframe.co.uk/ Video version: https://youtu.be/4xq-YpjbY3Y

This year I won't be doing a daily stage update (that nearly killed me in 2023), but I'll come in for explainers, takes, summaries, and coverage as-n...

Every year around this time, pro cyclists show off their new bikes and clothes, and the rest of the cycling world wonders where it went, and can I have it. In this installment from the Ask a (Retired) Pro series, we discuss whether pros are allowed to keep their bikes, forced to return them, or what happens with all of it.

I put this on YouTube a couple years ago, but it translates nicely to podcast so I'm putting it here as well Often when I post a photo from a bike ride, someone will correct me for something weird, quoting a “Rule #.” I’ve had people make fun of a riders’ hairy legs in a picture I posted, and I think back to when I started, how intimidating it was to figure out all the details. Years later, I literally was a pro, but I still had people explaining to me how to look “pro.” The truth is that everyo...

I'm not scared of breaking bones or road rash anymore, but I am scared of brain damage, and I think more cyclists should understand why. In light of a very visible mistake in the European time trial championships, I saw an opportunity to share what I know, some of the risks of riding concussed, and what you should do if you think you might be at risk. Concussion risk and protocol has come a long way in all sports over the last few years. Big thanks to Dr. Sprouse for sharing. Dr. Sprouse on Inst...

They say never read the comments, but I'm making an exception here and going through the comments from angry motorists I've received over the years. I think it might be useful for cyclists to be armed with some of these answers, and for the 99% sane motorists to know what cyclists deal with from that hostile 1%.
