Re-Cycle: Magnus Backstedt relives the epic day he denied Museeuw at Paris-Roubaix Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Graham Willgoss caught up with fan favourite Magnus Backstedt last week to talk all things Paris-Roubaix, but specifically his epic win in 2004.

In the absence of the Monument, which has been postponed to October 3rd, we bring you a bonus episode of Re-Cycle, Eurosport’s Cycling History podcast.

The Bradley Wiggins Show returns on the 19th of April.

Swedish powerhouse Magnus Backstedt felt so strong going toe-to-toe with Johan Museeuw in the Hell of the North, he even questioned whether there was a chain on his bike. Felix Lowe recalls the Lion of Flanders’ last major race, when a flat tyre stopped him sprinting for a record-equalling victory.

Re-Cycle is narrated by Graham Willgoss and produced by Pete Burton. This episode was edited by Ola Fisayo.

Ineos set for Tour glory with G? | Adam Yates leaves Simon's shadow Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Sir Bradley Wiggins is back with Graham Willgoss to discuss a fantastic week of cycling as the Volta a Catalunya saw Ineos storm to victory (just as Brad predicted last week), while Gent–Wevelgem didn’t fail to deliver.

The pair are joined by… Is it a teenage pirate? Is it Damon Hill? Is it a magician? No, it’s a goatee-sporting Matt Stephens who brings incredible insight as ever.

The trio discuss the new favourite for Flanders, Peter Sagan, Adam Yates shining in Ineos colours and Matt explains why Mathieu van der Poel won’t fit in at a team like Jumbo or Ineos.

The E3 Saxo Bank Classic, Brugge-De Panne and Coppi Bartali are covered as Mark Cavendish donned a leaders jersey for the first time in four years.

Ineos ready to 'do something big', Jumbo warning, Stuyven shocks Big Three Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

The action is coming thick and fast in the 2021 season now, and Brad and Graham caught up after the first Monument of the year, which saw Jasper Stuyven spring a surprise on the Poggio to win Milan-San Remo ahead of an all-star cast.

Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel and Julian Alaphilippe were all outfoxed right at the end of an epic 299km ride on Saturday, but Brad praises the Big Three for how "they have advanced the sport".

There's also praise for Ineos, who placed Tom Pidcock in 15th and were, to quote Brad, "bloody brilliant... the team of the day."

After a glorious wander down memory lane - including details of the day Mario Cipollini gave Bernie Eisel a clip round the ear, and Brad's first encounter with Lance Armstrong at Milan-San Remo - in part two we look ahead to this week's Volta a Catalunya.

Ineos are bringing a formidable team with G, Adam Yates and Richard Carapaz all in attendance. But who will fancy themselves as team leader? And are Jumbo-Visma spreading themselves too thin as the inevitable Tour de France showdown looms with Dave Brailsford's boys?

Glory and scandal at the Giro: Brad's take on the tragic tale of Marco Pantani Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Marco Pantani's swashbuckling victory at Madonna di Campiglio in the 1999 Giro d'Italia should have been his crowning moment. Instead, the Italian was kicked out of the race while wearing the Maglia Rosa, ending the defence of his title and sending his career into freefall.

Brad shares his memories of 'Il Parata' as we take a look back at the Italian legend's tragic turning point with another episode of Re-Cycle, written by Felix Lowe, narrated by Graham Willgoss and produced by Pete Burton.

You can find and subscribe to Re-Cycle in the very same app you're using right now.

2020 – A year like no other | Hugh Carthy the complete package but will EF back him for GC in 2021? Nov 08, 2020

Show notes

Brad and Graham are back and joined by living legend Sean Kelly for the last episode of the Bradley Wiggins Show this year to dissect a season like no other.

The trio deliberate on the truncated racing calendar with Sam Bennett and Tao Geoghegan Hart’s exploits at the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia lauded. King Kelly breaks down his nerves as protégé Bennett sealed Champs-Élysées glory.

Primoz Roglic, who saw a maiden Tour de France win agonisingly taken from his grasp by Tadej Pogačar, bounced back to claim a consecutive Vuelta a España to continue an astounding few years.

Elsewhere, Hugh Carthy was the latest breakthrough act in a season of breakthroughs, and Brad calls the Lancashire rider the finished package, who has a genuine chance of winning a Grand Tour. However, will EF Pro Cycling back him?

2012 Tour de France winner Brad expects Team Ineos to bounce back after – despite Giro success – a disappointing season but raises questions over some of the signings the British-based team have made.

Chris Froome, who is set to sign with Israel Start-Up Nation for the 2021 season, expects excellence, adds Brad, and his team have made some astute signings to support the seven-times Grand Tour winner as he goes in search of a fifth Tour.

The trio wrap up with their moments of the season and expectations for next year.
