Summary

"It was on like Donkey Kong from the start," said Brad after a brutal Stage 11 of the Tour de France which saw Wout van Aert win after two ascents of the mythical Mont Ventoux.

Brad and Graham catch up after another day on the bike for Brad, which gave him the perfect vantage point to see Tony Martin crash for Jumbo-Visma.

However, Van Aert brought smiles to the faces of the Dutch team thanks to a masterclass from the Belgian rider, who can pretty much do anything on a bike.

Brad also gives credit to Ineos Grenadiers for at least giving it a go, in contrast to some other "negative" teams.

And we reflect on the moment Brad drove past the memorial to Tommy Simpson on Ventoux, and why it meant so much to him.
