When is bradley wiggins racing

It means Slovenia continues its grip on two of the three Grand Tours after Tadej Pogacar secured back-to-back Tour de France victories earlier in the summer. To be one of the best Grand Tour riders in the world and climb and time trial like he does he's got the all-round package. That's what I think makes him unique. Comparisons with compatriot Pogacar come naturally for two riders establishing themselves as the dominant stage racers of a generation.

The pair have very different profiles and routes into the sport, with Roglic arriving after competing internationally as a ski jumper and Pogacar stepping into the world tour peloton already regarded as something of a prodigy after victory at the Tour de l'Avenir. Wiggins believes that makes them hard to compare, particularly as the pair are so different on and off the bike. Tadej was drinking apple juice out of a beaker on the plane out to Japan; Primoz had a small glass of wine. At the Olympic Games in Athens, Wiggins became the first British athlete in 40 years to win three medals at one Games.

He won gold in the pursuit, silver in the team pursuit, and bronze in the madison with his race partner Rob Hayles.

Primoz Roglic clinched a Vuelta hat-trick after another imperious display in Spain as he backed up his time trial gold medal from the Tokyo Olympics with another stunning performance, even if he did have a minor hiccup en route.

Wiggins, Kelly and Chennaoui give their expert reactions to Roglic's third coronation and much more after the third Grand Tour of what has been a breathless season. Brought to you by Zwift, where fun is fast. In this special bonus episode of The Bradley Wiggins Show we've got a little treat for you. In this fascinating chat the man from Mainz tells Brad about his switch of sports and how much cycling he has in his background.

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.

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? 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.

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. 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". More recently, Brad has developed a long-term partnership with Le Col producing a series of Cyclewear ranges which he would deem the best technical kit on the market.
