Bernal "looking every inch a Giro winner" after brutal and fascinating climb to Monte Zoncolan
Description
In the latest edition of the Bradley Wiggins Show, Graham Willgoss and our knight of the realm are joined by Eurosport commentator and former rider Adam Blythe.
The team discuss the brutal climbs of Monte Zoncolan that made for a fascinating Stage 14 of the 2021 Giro d'Italia, Wiggins saying that it is so harsh that things happen in "slow motion."
There was also praise for pink jersey wearer Egan Bernal, who Wiggins said is looking "every inch a Giro winner" after another very impressive display. Wiggins also doubled down on saying that Ineos Grenadiers are favourites to win all three Grand Tours with Bernal looking strong for the Giro and Vuelta as well as having both Geraint Thomas and Tao Geoghegan Hart at the Tour de France.
Blythe pointed out that Ineos are "packed full of people who can win a Grand Tour" with Richard Carapaz and Richie Porte, as well as Adam Yates, Luke Rowe and Tom Pidcock.
Lastly, the team discuss the issues going on at Deceuninck - Quick-Step and there is sympathy for the situation that Joao Almeida currently finds himself in. Both Blythe and Wiggins question some of the DQS tactics but remained convinced that Evenepoel will "be a great champion one day" especially now he's got that Pizza Hut endorsement deal!
Stay tuned to the end to find out which mountain Brad and Adam would have wanted to win on if they had the choice.
