Summary
Brad and Graham are back tomorrow but we've got something special for you today on our bonus episode as Orla Chennaoui talks to the newly-crowned winner of Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Lizzie Deignan.
It's been a super season so far for the Trek-Segafredo rider, who says she has found a team which allows her to "have fun on her bike again".
Deignan also discusses motherhood, her upcoming calendar (including a historic first Paris-Roubaix) and of course the nightmare news from the Giro d'Italia with Geraint Thomas unable to start Stage 4 after his bad crash on Stage 3.
Oh, and we couldn't get Lizzie on the show without asking her about Brad's call for her to win Sports Personality of the Year...
