Introducing Re-Cycle: Triumph to tragedy with Frank Vandenbroucke Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

Life in lockdown means we can't bring you any episodes with Brad right now, but why not take advantage of a prolonged break in the racing calendar to revisit some of the great tales from the peloton's past?

There are over 20 episodes of Re-Cycle, Eurosport's cycling history podcast, for you to discover, and today we are giving you the most recent in full as we revisit Frank Vandenbroucke's swaggering La Doyenne victory in 1999 - a win which promised to be the first of many Monuments, but ultimately proved the pinnacle of a highly troubled life and career.

To listen and subscribe to the rest of the series, search ‘Eurosport Re-Cycle’ or click here

We are adding new episodes all the time, so even though the cycling has stopped for now, Re-Cycle hasn't.
