Summary
After a breathless and nervy Stage 5 of the Tour de France, which witnessed carnage on the cobbles, Brad and Matt catch up while driving past the iconic Arenberg.
Simon Clarke took a tremendous win but the real story of the day was a succession of major incidents involving big-name riders.
Jack Haig was forced to withdraw, Primoz Roglic dislocated his shoulder and had to pop it back in - and that was after yellow jersey Wout van Aert had crashed and then almost hit a car when trying to rejoin the group.
All in all it was a disastrous day for Jumbo-Visma, as Roglic conceded almost two minutes to Tadej Pogacar, which might have ended his GC hopes already.
But Geraint Thomas came through largely unscathed and is one of three Ineos riders in the top 10, along with Adam Yates and Tom Pidcock.
To finish, Brad and Matt debate whether the spectacle of the cobbles is worth the toll it takes on the peloton...

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bradley Wiggins Show by Eurosports. As ever, joined by Matt Stevens. Matt, stage five is in the bag, the cobblestone stage. We're just actually driven past the entrance of the Aramberg |
| 0:21.5 | forest as we're leaving the stage finish area. I think it's probably where we talk about |
| 0:26.0 | the how iconic Arlenberg is and where the finish was about where we are podding. Okay, we're |
| 0:33.7 | putting in a moving car, the second moving vehicle we've potted in. We've got a pellicase between this. |
| 0:38.6 | It's almost like we're travelling in business class, isn't it? |
| 0:40.4 | We've got our own little cubicles. |
| 0:42.3 | Yes, we're. |
| 0:43.0 | You're not facing me, though, are you? |
| 0:44.5 | No, I'm not facing you. |
| 0:45.5 | But it is much like business class, because I your jeans off and you're in your pants. I am because my jeans are dusty, so I'm just sat in the back seat because we've got a couple of hours |
| 0:57.4 | drive. I thought, I'm going to sit my pants for a bit. Why not? And reminisce on, well, |
| 1:01.7 | maybe reminisce on today stage. It was, as you said, it was, it was, it was epic. Bernie what we thought I was chatting to Steve Cummings ahead of the stage from Eniost today and nobody really knew what was going to happen but I did think that |
| 1:15.4 | we'd we'd have some winners and some losers obviously just because of the very nature of today's |
| 1:19.1 | stage but did you expect it to be quite as disruptive and chaotic and um no predictable as that |
| 1:25.1 | no I think I said last night I think there'll be 20 riders |
| 1:27.8 | arrived at the finish, |
| 1:29.2 | which wasn't too far off. |
| 1:30.9 | I mean, we had the breakaway |
| 1:31.7 | and then we had that group |
| 1:32.5 | sort of behind, |
| 1:34.0 | but I didn't think, |
| 1:35.7 | I thought it would pan out a little bit |
