Bradley Wiggins and Matt Stephens return to discuss Stage 12 of the Tour de France on the latest episode of the Bradley Wiggins Show.
Thereâs praise for Tom Pidcock whose âalmost superhumanâ performance left Matt on the verge of tears after he became the youngest ever winner on Alpe dâHuez.
The 22-year-old became the second British winner â after Geraint Thomas - on the iconic col and Wiggins has tipped the Yorkshireman as a winner of the Tour de France in the future. The 2012 winner thinks that the Tour de France suits him best of all the Grand Tours.
There is also praise for the new environment on show at his team Ineos under the guidance of Steve Cummings and Rod Ellingworth.
Arguably, though, the story of the day was Chris Froomeâs return to form with a third-placed finish. Wiggins says it is testament to his resilience and perseverance to return to world-class form following three years of rehabilitation.

In the latest episode of the Tour de France Bradley Wiggins and Matt Stephens look back on a chaotic day at the Tour de France, was this the stage where the Tour completely changed?
There's praise for Jumbo-Visma, who executed "one of the best tactical plans" we've seen at the Tour in recent years. Can Jonas Vingegaard hold on to yellow or will we maybe see a response from the two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar?
Stay tuned throughout the show to hear from a couple of special podcast guests, as they drop in and give us their thoughts on the day's racing.
Plus why Wout van Aert reminds us of our colleague Sean Kelly, and do we need to have a "Oldest Rider of the Tour" jersey?

After a less-than-impressive McDonalds in Albertville, Brad and Matt sit down at a hotel to discuss an eventful Stage 10, just metres away from a flip-flop wearing Wout van Aert.
It was Magnus Cort Nielsen who secured a very richly-deserved victory, but did Tadej Pogacar try, and fail, to lose the yellow jersey?
It was also a day of non-sporting headlines. First, as Covid returned to haunt the peloton with Pogacar losing key team-mate George Bennett.
And second, as climate change protesters forced a halt to the race. Brad was on the scene on the bike and reflects on what he saw.
Finally, we look ahead to a âbig, big dayâ on Wednesday with the Galibier awaiting the riders, and Brad and Matt discuss what Mark Cavendishâs options could be after Patrick Lefevere let slip he will be leaving at the end of the seasonâŠ.

It's a rest day at the Tour de France and Brad is joined by Matt and Bernie ahead of Stage 10 on Monday.
The gang review the first full week of the Tour, and the first topic of discussion is race leader Tadej Pogacar - who, despite being a two-time winner, Brad believes doesn't fully use the strength and power that having the yellow jersey confers.
Brad says the young Slovenian "doesn't realise his status in the sport" and reflects on his own experiences when leading the greatest race in the world in 2012, and the power attached to the famous jersey in terms of dictating the terms of the race.
Brad also says Pogacar arguably lacks the road captains to make the difference, recalling the time that Michael Rogers took a decision on his behalf in 2012 to ensure Team Sky abandoned a chase of a breakaway in order to focus on GC, a decision which did not amuse Mark Cavendish...
Geraint Thomas is still nicely placed in GC and Bernie says the projected hot temperatures over the next week could favour G, having kept his powder dry thus far. Brad says he's never seen his former team-mate so relaxed.
There's discussions on Tom Pidcock, Primoz Roglic and predictions on what is still to come. And the three discuss the moments watching the Tour as a child which made them want to be a professional cyclist.

Tadej Pogacar may have ripped to a second straight win at the Tour de France on Stage 7, but the late burst from Jonas Vingegaard means we could yet have a GC battle after all. Brad and Matt dissect a thrilling finale and wonder whether the Slovenian sensation is afraid of the altitude-loving Dane. Oh, and in an ode to their favourite yogurt, Brad and Matt also coin the first draft of their Yop SongâŠ

The writing could be on the wall for the rest of the Tour as Tadej Pogacar moved into yellow after a brilliant finish to Stage 6. Brad and Matt look back on a very different day to that of the carnage 24 hours earlier. Thereâs praise for Wout van Aert as well as bemusement over his and Jumbo-Vismaâs strategy following his thrilling but ultimately futile early attack.
Thereâs also a look ahead to the âSuper Plangeâ of Stage 7 as well as a look back as Brad recalls âthe biggest thing that ever happened to meâ exactly ten years on from his own triumph after taking the yellow jersey at the same venue.

After a breathless and nervy Stage 5 of the Tour de France, which witnessed carnage on the cobbles, Brad and Matt catch up while driving past the iconic Arenberg.
Simon Clarke took a tremendous win but the real story of the day was a succession of major incidents involving big-name riders.
Jack Haig was forced to withdraw, Primoz Roglic dislocated his shoulder and had to pop it back in - and that was after yellow jersey Wout van Aert had crashed and then almost hit a car when trying to rejoin the group.
All in all it was a disastrous day for Jumbo-Visma, as Roglic conceded almost two minutes to Tadej Pogacar, which might have ended his GC hopes already.
But Geraint Thomas came through largely unscathed and is one of three Ineos riders in the top 10, along with Adam Yates and Tom Pidcock.
To finish, Brad and Matt debate whether the spectacle of the cobbles is worth the toll it takes on the peloton...

Brad and Matt are joined by the one and only Bernie Eisel our Stage 4 pod from the Tour de France as the gang reflect on a quite stunning performance from Wout van Aert, who blew the peloton away in yellow for his first stage win at the Tour.
There's plenty of discussion about his greatness - but should he be looking to transition into a GC rider, with ambitions of maybe one day even winning a Tour de France?
Brad's own experience in doing so reveals some of the sacrifices a rider like Van Aert would need to make to achieve this dream.
Plus there's a look ahead to Wednesday's cobbled stage and why it could be a day for Geraint Thomas...

Sir Bradley Wiggins returns alongside Matt Stephens and Anders Mielke to dissect the first three stages of the Tour de France.
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl doubled up over the first three stages â with successes for Yves Lampaert and Fabio Jakobsen â while BikeExchangeâJaycoâs Dylan Groenewegen collected the final stage in Denmark ahead of the rest day and the race heading to France.
Mielke revealed that the lack of crosswinds on the Great Belt Bridge will have left director of the Tour Christian Prudhomme disappointed with a dream crushed.
Wiggins, Stephens and Mielke look at Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Teamâs stunning start to the 2022 edition of the race.
Patrick Lefevere had come in for some criticism for leaving Mark Cavendish out of the Quick-Step line-up. However, Stephens added that Cavendish has no issue with Fabio Jakobsen or his selection for the race, but hinted that clear communication regarding selection was a little lacking.
While Lefevere is a polarising character â who should not be immune to criticism - his winning mentality is beyond reproach, adds Stephens.
The guys also talk Groenewegenâs emotional win, and âthe classiest act in the world on a bikeâ Wout van Aert.
Wiggins re-lives the Grand Depart in the UK, and there is special praise for fans from Denmark after the opening three stages.

The legendary do also catch up on the highlights of the season so far as the Bradley Wiggins Show has had a little break, but is back with a bang.
And of course, the focus had to come to Mark Cavendish, where you can hear real-time the pair realise just how much of a legend the sprinter is, but will he be going to the Tour de France?

Brad is joined by Graham Willgoss and Sean Kelly to discuss the latest Vuelta action as Miguel Angel Lopez was the strongest man in the misty mountains to take the Stage 18 victory.
Despite an overall improved performance from Egan Bernal and no sign of the back issues that have been a problem for him for some time, Brad believes it will be a 'tall order' for the Colombian to claim a podium place in the race.
Brad was also full of praise for Jack Haig and his attempts to push for the red jersey for Bahrain Victorious. 'He's rallied those guys round him really, he's become a real leader and shone this race'.
There's a look at 'hot and cold' Adam Yates after a disappointing effort having promised more beforehand
And finally, are Primoz Roglic and his Jumbo-Visma team almost too humble in playing down the Slovenian's success as he aims for back-to-back Vuelta titles?

Sir Brad is joined by Graham Willgoss to pick apart the Queen Stage of the Vuelta a España, and an explosive GC battle that saw Egan Bernal light the blue touch paper but Primoz Roglic emerge as red hot favourite to take his Spanish Grand Tour hat-trick.
The brutal climb to the finish at Lagos de Covadonga set the stage for, in Brad's words, "an amazing finish, an amazing winner" as Jumbo-Visma's main man streaked away to ride back to the top of the GC standings and put his rivals almost out of sight.
Huge credit, though, goes to Ineos Grendadiers' Bernal for animating the race and attacking with 60km to of the stage remaining.
"If it wasn't for him, Roglic would have had to make those moves on his own," says Brad. "[But] to go out there with Primoz Roglic and give it his all and fade in the final, I think that might be the last we see of Bernal this race in terms of GC aspirations.
"Roglic was on another level today. He now has a dominant lead, and even though he wasn't in the Red Jersey last week, we always knew this day would come."

Sir Bradley Wiggins is joined by Daniel Lloyd and Graham Willgoss to discuss the latest action from La Vuelta ahead of a huge final week of the last Grand Tour of 2021.
The team look back on Rafal Majkaâs impressive and ultimately emotional dominant solo win in the mountains of Stage 15.
Brad is not-so-quietly impressed by Odd Christian Eikingâs continued possession of the red jersey and suggests the Norwegian could end the next week with a podium finish, or perhaps more!
Thereâs also a look at Egan Bernal and Adam Yates, and what lies ahead for the Ineos riders in the remaining stages of the race.
Elsewhere, the Bretagne Classic took place on Sunday with Tadej Pogacarâs return to racing following the Olympics.

Sir Bradley Wiggins is joined by Orla Chennaoui and Graham Willgoss to get right up to speed with the Vuelta a España after Brad's time away at the Tour de France and Tokyo.
Brad's backing an unrecognisably relaxed Primoz Roglic to make it three Vuelta victories in a row, and says his Jumbo-Visma team "might as well be in the jersey, because they're riding like they have it".
Rogla seems happy to attack the last week, says Brad, but must now show his hand in the mountains to take the lead back from Odd Christian Eiking.
Orla, meanwhile, is enjoying the new Jumbo leader's new laidback style: "He's perceptively giggled twice [in interviews], and it's an odd thing to listen to, because he's usually so monosyllabic!"
In another Grand Tour that is not going Ineos's way, there's a warning from Brad not to write off Egan Bernal too quickly. Praise, too, for the calm head on young Tom Pidcock's shoulders after his Olympic gold and his focus on the road ahead.
Plus, the trio pick over Fabio Jakobsen's extraordinary reaction to being dropped by his DeceuninckâQuick-Step sprint train.
