ESPRESSO: Tour de France Rest Day 2 | Cycling's Rare Sportsmanship, Hot Vs. Cold Climbs & Knighthoods For Indoor Training!
1Description
As the Tour's riders take their 2nd rest of 2025, Sir Bradley returns with his verdict on some of the week's huge stories, centred on his history and knowledge of the great race.
This episode, joined again by producer and sports commentator, Toby Gilles, Bradley reveals how there's not much rest on a rest day and how your planning for it can impact your GC chances.
He also discusses why cyclists' mentalities are different from other elite sportsmen and women, after the peloton refused to take advantage of Tadej Pogačar's misfortune when he fell on stage 11.
Bradley then talks injury recovery and the use of indoor trainers, following Jonas Abrahamsen's sensational stage victory just 29 days after breaking his collarbone, and nominates the young rider he believes will be the next first-time winner of the Tour.
