Summary
In an extra special bonus pod Graham and Brad are joined by Pippa York to chew the fat over what we've seen at the Giro so far as we hit the first rest day.
Pippa is keen to stress that you can't write anybody off at the Giro and there are plenty of names who will be spending the rest day thinking they are in with a chance.
Pippa and Brad reminisce about races in their past and Brad has a particularly interesting story about how he could be racing at the age of 40 if things had worked out differently.
Finally the trio look at how Covid-19 is impacting cycling across the world, particularly in Europe, and what the rising cases might mean for the rest of the calendar.
The Bradley Wiggins Show is produced by Pete Burton.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

| 0:49.7 | It's a good point to start to think back on what we've seen in the past nine stages, |
| 0:53.3 | and we've got Pippa York |
| 0:54.1 | with us to do it. Hello. And Pippa, you've actually finished the bottom of that climb, |
| 0:57.7 | haven't you? What is now yesterday's stage nine? Yeah, in 87, we did it to the bottom of the climb, |
| 1:04.3 | just where they turned the dodgy corner and started the steep bit. That was the finish in |
| 1:07.8 | Moreno, Argentine one. But it was the same kind of horrible weather. |
| 1:11.0 | It was raining really heavy. |
| 1:13.7 | But we didn't do the rest of the climb after that. |
| 1:16.1 | But just to get there, it was mostly kind of long, false flat. |
| 1:20.1 | I didn't find it that hard, but then I was the best climb on the race, |
| 1:22.6 | so I wouldn't have found it that hard. |
| 1:24.0 | But there was a lot going on that year, wasn't there with Stephen Roach and Vicentini. It was the famous Roach Vincentini year, which I got to see live as it happened. Was it as |
| 1:33.0 | bad as they portray it? Or worse? Some days it was pretty rough with people, you know, shunting |
| 1:38.2 | and spitting and throwing stuff. There's a bit of animosity from the Italians to word Rochnon |
