The delayed Tour de France got off to a chaotic start on Saturday with crashes galore on Stage 1 thanks to a deluge of rain around Nice.
Graham and Brad are joined by Joanna Rowsell to reflect on Alexander Kristoff's win, and a brilliant day's work for Lizzie Deignan at La Course.
But should there be a full women's Tour?
The team also discuss the Olympics, the risks involved in racing and all the other big storylines on day one.

0:00.0 | Hello, I'm on holiday this week, scuba diving in the Caribbean. |
0:07.0 | I'm going to be underwater most of the time, so if you want me, you might have to learn whale. |
0:16.0 | Ooh, whew... Yours, Lucy. |
0:24.8 | Take your holiday as seriously as British Airways holidays take your holiday. |

0:49.3 | I'm Graham Wilgos. Brad, we've got a tour. We have. We started, haven't we? |

1:16.3 | Because of her standing in the world of cycling and coming back as a mother and Phil |
1:23.8 | retiring from Team Sky, becoming the house husband, and her presence was enough, having had a baby. |

1:43.2 | Hello, thank you. Thank you for coming on. Brad, Joanna Roussel, we should welcome to the show. Hello, thank you. |
1:44.3 | Thank you for coming on. Brad, a fellow team pursuiter. Good to have Joe on. Yeah, we don't define |
1:49.2 | ourselves as that. Not anymore. No. Team pursuers tend to be quite shallow and tragic people by the |
1:53.7 | end of their careers. And you can get better. You can't get better. But Joe, you're far more |
