Summary
Bradley Wiggins and host Graham Willgoss are joined by GCN's Dan Lloyd and fan favourite, Matt Stephens.
There are unfortunately more crashes to discuss after Il Lombardia favourite Remco Evenepoel crashed off a bridge, while Maximilian Schachmann was taken out by a public car on the race route. However, Matt comes to the defence of the race organisers.
There’s more on Fabio Jakobsen’s recovery and Brad tells of his correspondence with Dylan Groenewegen this week, and how much his support means to the Dutch rider.
The team cover every aspect of The Criterium du Dauphine, including Jumbo Visma’s ‘crazy’ depth, Ineos’ disappointing showing and Julian Alaphilippe’s unlikely Grand Tour future.
The guys also tackle the harsh truths on the fragility of the 2020 cycling season.
The Bradley Wiggins Show is produced by Pete Burton.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
