Summary
Egan Bernal is the Giro d'Italia champion and his ride made a massive statement, according to Brad. But will he go to the Tour de France and force a change in Dave B's plans?
Brad congratulates Brailsford and Team Ineos for a remarkable 12th Grand Tour triumph after Bernal's stunning ride over three weeks in Italy.
Filippo Ganna won his fifth successive time trial at the Giro - even overcoming a bike change to take the stage for Ineos - and Brad describes him as a "freak of nature" after another incredible performance.
And it was an eventful TT all round with Remy Cavagna crashing and Matteo Sobrero having to whack a rival team car after it cut him up on the road. What a way to end a fantastic Giro d'Italia.
Brad and Graham also reflect on the first stage of the Dauphine, with Brad predicting another formidable showing from Ineos as Geraint Thomas continues his preparation for what could very well be a second Tour de France title this summer...
