  • Ep10: The New Look Of The Tour de France: Considering The Future After 2025

    Ep10: The New Look Of The Tour de France: Considering The Future After 2025
    Aug 19 2025
    In the final Café Aficionado of season 1, Brad and Graham debrief after the 2025 Tour de France. Is it one for the history books? Both covered the tour in different ways - Brad in Aspen and Graham on the ground in France, giving an episode that provides insight from all angles. In true Café Aficionado style the pair give their opinions and hot takes on what they saw, and delve into some of the climbs used and the historic moments behind them. The race saw Tadej Pogačar redeem himself against Jonas Vingegaard on all of Hautacam, Mont Ventoux and Col de la Loze, whilst Thymen Arensman triumphed - against the odds - on Superbagnères and La Plagne. But after a tour which many believe marks the beginning of a new era for the sport this one is really about the future, and Brad and Graham make their predictions for the shape of the Tour in years to come. The 'Ultimate Cyclist also comes to its conclusion with the final attribute decided: sprinting. It is perhaps not the fiercest battle to determine our pick. This one’s pretty easy!

  • EP9: Steve Cummings: The Master Of The Breakaway And The Col D’Aspin

    EP9: Steve Cummings: The Master Of The Breakaway And The Col D’Aspin
    Aug 12 2025
    Old pals Steve Cummings and Bradley Wiggins were once so close that Team Sky bosses had to stop them rooming together. Such was the laughter that there were concerns their performance would be impacted negatively, so it’s no surprise that this raucous episode, where the two-time Tour de France stage winner visits Brad and Graham at Café Aficionado, is packed with hilarious stories from their respective careers. But Steve was far more than just a prankster and remains one of the all-time great breakaway riders, including a hugely memorable 2016 Tour stage victory up the Pyrenean climb that centres this episode, the Col D’Aspin. During the episode Steve recalls the huge, 29-rider breakaway that led to his win, how he broke solo with 25km to go, and the emotional moment he realised he’d dropped the legendary Vincenzo Nibali towards the end of the climb, and would likely cross the line 1st. There are regrets too, like in 2015 when Steve won his first Tour stage. Riding for Africa-based team MTN-Qhuebeka on Mandela Day, the enormity of the achievement impacted him to such a degree that his Tour aspirations fell apart and he was still in dreamland about it two months later. Brad and Steve also reminisce about the greatest day either had with the British team, when they helped Sir Mark Cavendish with the World Championship - and reveal they once had a mystery pact, which not even the Café Aficionado team can know the details of!

  • EP8: Luke Rowe, The Folly Of Tour De France Cobbles, And The Art Of Road Captaincy

    EP8: Luke Rowe, The Folly Of Tour De France Cobbles, And The Art Of Road Captaincy
    Aug 5 2025
    Luke Rowe is, for many, the greatest road captain of the 21st century, playing a key role in 5 consecutive Tour de France wins for Teams Sky and Ineos between 2015 and 2019. Focusing on one of the most dangerous elements in cycling - the cobbles - the Welshman tells Brad and Graham of his huge reservations about their continued use in the Tour de France. He explores whether the damage they do both to riders’ bodies and ambitions - and the fan experience - is worth it, despite his admiration for the few he’s watched who seemed, somehow, to thrive over them. Luke also explores the mindset required to carry out one of the most selfless jobs in sport: putting in more work than even the most dedicated domestique to guide others to glory at the expense of your own, with very little recognition outside of the peloton. Brad then explains how Luke's path to road captain always looked clear - even as an under-23 - while the 2012 Tour de France champion reveals, with a clear hint of regret, how he remains unsure of the exact reason why he was not selected to ride in the service of Chris Froome in 2014. Meanwhile, a surprising twist emerges during this week’s Ultimate Cyclist, as Brad and Luke debate the rider who had the greatest bunch skills ever seen in cycling.
