ESPRESSO: Tour de France Rest Day | Tadej Shines, Vingegaard Lurks, 2025 Thrills

As the peloton takes a well-deserved rest day Bradley returns with his verdict on the Tour de France so far, centred, in Café Aficionado tradition, in the history of the race.

This episode, joined by his producer and sports commentator Toby Gilles, the 2012 winner discusses Tadej Pogačar's transformation into the "patron of the peloton" as he chases yellow and whether Jonas Vingegaard can mount a realistic challenge.

He also debates the merits of shorter Time Trials, the joys of riding on Bastille Day, and whether rising star Oscar Onley is the future that British cycling fans need.
