Summary
Brad is joined by Pippa York in the latest episode of The Bradley Wiggins Show. Pippa discusses her extraordinary career in both racing and coaching; explains the four key building-blocks of a world-class cyclist (and how she knew that Bradley had all four); and opens up on the mental strain and positive impact of her experience of transitioning.
Brad, Pippa and Graham Willgoss also discuss the future of Mark Cavendish after the Manxman hinted that he could be on the verge of retirement from the sport during a tearful interview at Gent-Wevelgem. Could Dave Brailsford and Ineos Grenadiers offer the 30-time Tour de France stage winner a lifeline?
The Bradley Wiggins Show is produced by Pete Burton.
