Matt Stephens The Cafe Ride - Sir Bradley Wiggins Episode | Sigma Sports

Matt Stephens joins Sir Bradley Wiggins to revisit the Time Trial route where he won gold at the 2012 London Olympic Games. Just ten days after being crowned Tour de France champion in Paris, Brad put in a phenomenal performance that went down in history as one of the most perfectly executed races of all time, resulting in a gold medal on home roads.

Ten years later, Wiggo's memory of his race execution is impeccably sharp - almost as sharp as his impressions of Matt Stephens.

I find Brad’s self consciousness of his insecurities around his early 30’s very inspiring. Being able to acknowledge that at any point in life is an incredibly powerful thing. Great, truthful and insightful interview. Now sell me some goddam S-works 8s shoes please Sigma, cheers thanks x

"Good Luck Brad" was the best part.
The Botoga story was a close number two.

The best advert ever for Wiggins as a person

best one yet, nice work Matt. I was fat and out of shape and just turned 40 when Brad won le tour. The way he was riding in the first few stages of that tdf inspired me to take up road cycling and get fit. Changed my life in a lot of ways. I cycled london to brussels the following year as a result of that inspiration getting me out on the bike. Still doing it today 10 years later. All thanks to Brad 👍

Whoever came up with the idea for The Cafe Ride, you are a genius. This was absolutely brilliant. Meaningful, nostalgic, entertaining and funny all in one. This series needs to be nominated for awards!

That impression of George Hincapie after Ghent wevelgem was spot on 😂

[RudiDwiHartanto]

The most decorated british cyclist ever, and Bradley Wiggins.

[Cade_Media]

Really funny & insightful, nice one guys

I once messaged Matt directly to thank him for making a video I loved, and he messaged me back! It was such a nice gesture and it made me love him all the more. Cycling can be an intimidating hobby to get into, with so much snobbery and douchebaggery, but here's a British national champion having a laugh at his own expense and being so relatable and approachable. He's the patron saint of the everyday joe giving it a go.

I’m only 5 minutes in and already love this film. “Good luck Brad, see ya later”.

[kenshevlin]

I really hope that soldier sees this video.

[Joshuavoice]

I'm so glad you are continuing the cafe rides! I absolutely love these. Matt cracks me up with his infectious laugh.

I remember that day vividly, I was at work watching it on the TV with my then new to cycling boss, Watching each rider cross the line and catching a glimpse of my dear old Dad on the finishing line (he was the chief judge) was a personal moment of pride, seeing him briefly talking to Bradley in this video as he was looking for his family makes me smile.. another great Cafe ride, just wish Dad was still here to see it. I have a great picture of him sitting in Bradley’s throne outside Hampton court.

Matt is a LEGEND, period.. That impression of George Hincapie after Ghent wevelgem was spot on .

[chrisobyrne]

Goose bumps 10 years on shows how amazing it was at the time. Some of the power and speed figures are from a different planet……what a performance.

[MichaelBruceTLTAGuitar]

Another great Matt Stephens video. How about one with Brad, Cav, Adam Blythe and Brian Smith. All national champions. The banter would be off the scale.

[michaelmontalvo]

Man, this is SO good. Love the storytelling. Wigs honesty and vulnerability is refreshing.

[michellejohnstone]

Absolutely brilliant video. Being honest I was never a fan of Brad until the last few years seeing and listening to him on Eurosport at the grand tours. This video showed he is a down to earth guy with same issues and passion as all us cyclists who just love the sport. Matt is very good at these videos the way he reacts and speaks to these riders is just so good and that laugh is hilarious. Chapeu to all involved in making these videos👍👍

[petee]

Absolute gold. I live in Molesey and still remember that day like it was yesterday. So good to see Wiggo on all these roads and cafes again!

[thebikepackingadventurer]

The best one yet. Anything with Brad in gives me goosebumps. Honestly the guy is a legend and just seeing him on a bike is exciting. He would still drop almost any club rider out there 💪🏻
