Bradley Wiggins and Matt Stephens return to discuss Stage 12 of the Tour de France on the latest episode of the Bradley Wiggins Show. There’s praise for Tom Pidcock whose “almost superhuman” performance left Matt on the verge of tears after he became the youngest ever winner on Alpe d’Huez.  The 22-year-old became the second British winner – after Geraint Thomas - on the iconic col and Wiggins has tipped the Yorkshireman as a winner of the Tour de France in the future. The 2012 winner thinks...

In the latest episode of the Tour de France Bradley Wiggins and Matt Stephens look back on a chaotic day at the Tour de France, was this the stage where the Tour completely changed? There's praise for Jumbo-Visma, who executed "one of the best tactical plans" we've seen at the Tour in recent years. Can Jonas Vingegaard hold on to yellow or will we maybe see a response from the two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar? Stay tuned throughout the show to hear from a couple of special podcast...

After a less-than-impressive McDonalds in Albertville, Brad and Matt sit down at a hotel to discuss an eventful Stage 10, just metres away from a flip-flop wearing Wout van Aert. It was Magnus Cort Nielsen who secured a very richly-deserved victory, but did Tadej Pogacar try, and fail, to lose the yellow jersey? It was also a day of non-sporting headlines. First, as Covid returned to haunt the peloton with Pogacar losing key team-mate George Bennett. And second, as climate change protesters...

It's a rest day at the Tour de France and Brad is joined by Matt and Bernie ahead of Stage 10 on Monday. The gang review the first full week of the Tour, and the first topic of discussion is race leader Tadej Pogacar - who, despite being a two-time winner, Brad believes doesn't fully use the strength and power that having the yellow jersey confers. Brad says the young Slovenian "doesn't realise his status in the sport" and reflects on his own experiences when leading the greatest race in the...

The writing could be on the wall for the rest of the Tour as Tadej Pogacar moved into yellow after a brilliant finish to Stage 6. Brad and Matt look back on a very different day to that of the carnage 24 hours earlier. There’s praise for Wout van Aert as well as bemusement over his and Jumbo-Visma’s strategy following his thrilling but ultimately futile early attack.  There’s also a look ahead to the ‘Super Plange’ of Stage 7 as well as a look back as Brad recalls ‘the biggest thing that ever...

After a breathless and nervy Stage 5 of the Tour de France, which witnessed carnage on the cobbles, Brad and Matt catch up while driving past the iconic Arenberg. Simon Clarke took a tremendous win but the real story of the day was a succession of major incidents involving big-name riders. Jack Haig was forced to withdraw, Primoz Roglic dislocated his shoulder and had to pop it back in - and that was after yellow jersey Wout van Aert had crashed and then almost hit a car when trying to rejoin...

Brad and Matt are joined by the one and only Bernie Eisel our Stage 4 pod from the Tour de France as the gang reflect on a quite stunning performance from Wout van Aert, who blew the peloton away in yellow for his first stage win at the Tour. There's plenty of discussion about his greatness - but should he be looking to transition into a GC rider, with ambitions of maybe one day even winning a Tour de France? Brad's own experience in doing so reveals some of the sacrifices a rider like Van...

Brad is joined by Graham Willgoss and Sean Kelly to discuss the latest Vuelta action as  Miguel Angel Lopez was the strongest man in the misty mountains to take the Stage 18 victory. Despite an overall improved performance from Egan Bernal and no sign of the back issues that have been a problem for him for some time, Brad believes it will be a 'tall order' for the Colombian to claim a podium place in the race. Brad was also full of praise for Jack Haig and his attempts to push for the red...

Sir Brad is joined by Graham Willgoss to pick apart the Queen Stage of the Vuelta a España, and an explosive GC battle that saw Egan Bernal light the blue touch paper but Primoz Roglic emerge as red hot favourite to take his Spanish Grand Tour hat-trick. The brutal climb to the finish at Lagos de Covadonga set the stage for, in Brad's words, "an amazing finish, an amazing winner" as Jumbo-Visma's main man streaked away to ride back to the top of the GC standings and put his rivals almost out...

Brad's backing an unrecognisably relaxed Primoz Roglic to make it three Vuelta victories in a row, and says his Jumbo-Visma team "might as well be in the jersey, because they're riding like they have it".  Rogla seems happy to attack the last week, says Brad, but must now show his hand in the mountains to take the lead...

The Tour de France arrives on the Champs-Élysées for the most prestigious sprint stage in cycling. Sir Brad and Graham Willgoss were hoping for a bit of history from Mark Cavendish, but instead saw a thrilling finish in the heart of Paris and a third stage victory of the race for Wout van Aert.  “I don’t think anyone would deny Van Aert,” says Brad. “What he’s done this race is truly exceptional. He’s won a mountain stage over the Ventoux, he’s won a time trial and he’s won a Champs-Élysées...

Sir Brad and Graham 'door destroyer' Willgoss are in a brand new van talking Stage 20 of the Tour de France, when Team UAE’s 22-year-old Tadej Pogacar won his second Yellow Jersey with another masterful performance beyond his years.   “I actually got a little bit emotional on the bike,” says Brad, who followed Pogacar on the moto. “Listening to the roar of noise coming up the road, and him shooting through – and the crowd went crazy.   “I followed him for the last 10km to the end then, and he...

Matej Mohorič wheeled away from the break to take a second victory on Stage 19 of the Tour de France on a day when Yellow Jersey Tadej Pogačar showed the pack who’s the boss. “It was good to see him taking control of the race from the leader’s point of view, because everyone looks up to him now, he’s clearly the best rider, and I think that’s a good sign of the next few years, of what’s to come,” says Brad. “I think we’ve got a patron back in the peloton. “Marking his dominance, at the front...
