The legendary do also catch up on the highlights of the season so far as the Bradley Wiggins Show has had a little break, but is back with a bang. And of course, the focus had to come to Mark Cavendish, where you can hear real-time the pair realise just how much of a legend the sprinter is, but will he be going to the Tour de France?
