Summary
Brad is joined by 'The Coach', Brian Smith, to reflect on Sam Bennett's stunning triumph on Stage 10 of the Tour de France.
In what was a 'phenomenal' day for Ireland, the guys jump on the pod after celebrating Bennett taking the green jersey with the legendary Sean Kelly.
Also, will Dave Brailsford regret not including Geraint Thomas in the Ineos team when Egan Bernal and the team hit the mountains in week three? Brian certainly thinks so, and Thomas is being badly missed with Jumbo-Visma taking full advantage.
