- 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
Thanks Mat!
He's a tosser
"Good Luck Brad" was the best part.
The Botoga story was a close number two.
Some classic moments! Glad you enjoyed it!
i see what you did there...
Quite literally.
*Bogotá
The best advert ever for Wiggins as a person
Thanks for watching!
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 👍
Same here!!
Thanks for watching, great to hear your story!
Way to go
Really funny & insightful, nice one guys
Fantastic stories from fantastic people! Glad you enjoyed it.
That impression of George Hincapie after Ghent wevelgem was spot on 😂

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!
Thanks Johnny! Great to hear your thoughts.
Agreed, almost worth setting up a Patreon for so that the fans can support the production, expensive promo for a modestly sized bike shop. Sign me up.
Jerry Seinfeld came up with it.
@@brianmcg321 ha, came looking for this reply.
Matt is a LEGEND, period.
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.
Thanks for your story! Matt is a fantastic personality and is always incredibly encouraging and approachable to everyone in cycling. We are lucky to be able to work with him.
I’m only 5 minutes in and already love this film. “Good luck Brad, see ya later”.
Classic moment! Thanks for watching.
The most decorated british cyclist ever, and Bradley Wiggins.
😅
Actually no, that'd be Beryl Burton
7 times world champion, 90 domestic titles and every single time trial record up to 12 hours.
Wiggins is one of the greats, arguably the greatest male British cyclist but the greatest British cyclist is a woman from Yorkshire
@@ynotnilknarf39 Whooooosh
@@brianmcg321 not really, it was a piss take obviously but Wiggins is the most decorated male British cyclist, just not th most decorated British cyclist.
@@ynotnilknarf39 woosh
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.
Incredible moment! Thanks for watching.
Matt is a LEGEND, period.. That impression of George Hincapie after Ghent wevelgem was spot on .
I really hope that soldier sees this video.
I'm so glad you are continuing the cafe rides! I absolutely love these. Matt cracks me up with his infectious laugh.
Thanks Joshua! We're really glad we can bring you these fantastic rides with great personalities.
I've been missing Matt's laugh as of late, this was great fun!
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.
Incredible numbers! Glad you enjoyed it.
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!
Thanks, Pete!
Brad is a legend.
Intelligent, fantastic charisma, champion!
Fantastic video.
Best wishes from Germany.
Now that was a real classic ride and chat, a top cyclist, just chatting and being normal, and so funny and open, also well done Matt, youre in a very trusted position with these people, they really open up to you.Gold medal incoming.
I've really missed these. Matt has an amazing ability to take conversations about cycling to a whole new level.
I genuinely think Matt Stephens is one of the most underrated interviewers of our time. It's a skill that's very hard to teach without it becoming mechanical. He blends his own knowledge, personality, and humility with a genuine curiosity to hear people's stories.
@@MatthewBeedham I'd love to see Kenny Van Vlaminck doing these rides
Thanks for watching and letting us know your thoughts Oliver!
Remember it very well. My dad lived down the road at Thames Ditton so we could walk to the course in the morning. The noise was incredible. You could hear and feel Brad coming down the road.
Thanks for the insight! Glad you enjoyed it.
What a great down to earth bloke Bradley Wiggins is. A very honest interview & some great stories too.
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 💪🏻
Doing 500 watts like it’s nothing…
@@jonm8423 casual 💪🏻😂
Thanks for watching!
@@sigmasports an amazing one to watch. 2 great characters bouncing off each other perfectly 👌🏻💪🏻
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👍👍
Thanks for watching Michelle!
We can all learn from the truths that Brad has shared with us. I must admit that I was a fan of Brad back in the day but I was disappointed by his behavior later on. Now I get it. He’s a wonderful man.
Could listen to these two talk all day. Brad is an absolute legend, and his self-reflection about his past is humbling and inspiring. He’s the reason I, and thousands others, ride bikes today.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Man, this is SO good. Love the storytelling. Wigs honesty and vulnerability is refreshing.
Enjoyed this so much, hilarious and emotional. Great to see Brad laughing.. As always matt, top job 👍👍👍
Thanks for your comments, Patrick! Glad you enjoyed it.
Another absolute classic Matt! We just need the TV series now. You and Brad doing a cycling version of Mortimer and Whithouse’s Gone Fishing! It would be fabulous!
Good shout, that would be a great tv series. Road cycling could do with another boost in the uk.
Thanks for watching! More cafe rides coming in 2022.
Have to say, being from Kingston and being about 12/13 when Bradley came tearing came through my hometown, it was electric. Honestly one of the coolest atmospheres I have ever experienced and inspired me to start riding more. Brad is a true champion and that day was awesome.
Thanks for the insight! What a moment.
Refreshing to see Brad still riding rim brake
I was thinking the same!
Good enough for him, good enough for me.
Great stories out there, love it! And no kidding: Cheers from Bogotá 🇨🇴🤣
“You can’t prepare yourself for success” - never thought about that until now. Powerful stuff.
Best thing I’ve watched on TH-cam. What chemistry between two legends talking about a day that will live on in my memory. Please make a full length documentary of this epic. Thank you so much.
Really appreciate the comments, thanks Mark.
If this is the best thing you've seen on TH-cam you obviously haven't seen chimpanzee riding on a Segway.
Nobody could do these better than Matt. I really hope he gets payed handsomely for these. they are all brilliant.
It's hard to pick the best one out of this mini series, it's even harder to understand how they don't have 1000s more views! All episodes are amazing, Matt is awesome being the host 👏
Huge thanks for your comments Gary!
Another excellent café ride, would love to see one done with British legend Les West, still riding at 78...
Thanks! We will see what we can do....
Every now and again you see something that makes you realise why you ride. The laughs, the stories and the sheer joy of good company with a like minded passion. I absoloutly loved this and was in tears of laughter at the end. Absolute legends!
Thanks Paul! Great to get your thoughts!
I always knew that Matt Stephens was a funny guy, but I have to admit that Brad had me rolling on the floor laughing. I think that I found it even funnier because I did not expect that. Thanks so very much for making this truly awesome video series!
Thanks for your comments!
Matt, can't wait to see you back on GCN (really glad to hear your commentary again in the meanwhile)
A gcn special with matt Dan and si and then a race to finish v Manon hank and conor
This was bloody lovely, the footage from the day still gives me goosebumps.
Absolutely incredible. Thanks for watching.
This piece needs archiving. Absolute magic. Two cycling national treasures for different reasons.
Absolutely agree! Thanks for watching.
What a great video about a bloke from Kilburn (near me).. He's a supremely talented athlete. A complete maverick!...humble, cool and honest. . Love him
Thanks for watching, and for your comments! We really appreciate it.
My god what a year that was, too easily forgotten until you watch something like this. Thanks Brad.
Thanks Matt!
"I don't want to be up there with that lot" deserves a thumbs up. Great time admiring where Brad has come and where he is now. Lots of fun on and off the bike. Chapeau to both He and Matt.
Thanks Brian!
Fully entertaining.
Even a “ clipping-in” bit for the afficiando.
That was most seriously just the best! THANK YOU Matt Stephens and Bradley Wiggins!
Thanks Andrew! More Cafe Rides coming in 2022.
Two absolute legends! One gold medalist…. Loved this, so funny, warm and insightful. Chapeau.
Thanks Ian!
This has to be the best Cafe Ride. Such great memories and stories mixed with some heart felt emotions from the day & before as well.
Thanks Marcus!
Wow! I just watched this for the first time. Two spectacular people being human together! This was the best! Thank you.
Bought back so many memories of that day. I was at Hampton court seems like only yesterday. Well done you two.
Thanks, Mary! Your comments mean a lot.
Please make more of these! One of the best cycling serials ever!
This is the best, most entertaining and yet behind the scenes video about cycling ever… I’ve watched it several times…
A legend. Got to Annonay in 2012 when David Miller won the stage on Tommy Simpson day..... Hung about waiting for Brad after interviews and drug tests. He took the time to have a photo taken with my Winnie the Pooh teddy with a freshly knitted yellow jersey when we tapped on the window... He had already jumped into the team Jag after launching his baseball cap in to the crowd to escape the hoards (Saw a young Peter Sagan who nobody was crowding round at that point) Thanks for taking the time to do that Brad. We made sure we were there in London to cheer you on. I've never known sound like it. (Created by the human voice) as he went past.
Incredible story! Thanks Damian.
Pair of living legends. Excellent.
Absolutely brilliant! Never never stop doing these please. "You've got a huge bogey" pure gold! 😂🚴
More Cafe Rides coming in 2022!
I could watch these all day absolutely brilliant
From the other side of the world, thank you for the tears of laughter! Bradleys impression of Hincapie and the poo story really made my day!...I've been a Bradley Wiggins fan for years and Matt with Sigma really make the most entertaining cycling series on TH-cam 👍
Massive thanks for the comments!
Goosebumps at that finish. Wanted an hour of that! Chapeau lads 👏
An Incredible moment in sporting history! Thanks for watching Liam.
Great mix of awe, nostalgia and belly laughs. Loved it.
Thanks Antony!
So many things to like about this. Great chemistry; really good editing of 2012 imagery; fantastic Sean yates impression; amazing recollection of details; humility; self reflection; soldier story; poo chat and of course use of rim brakes.
Thanks Gareth for the comments! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks Matt ........ haven't laughed so much since you were chillin' with Si and Dan.
What a brilliant watch. Funny, insightful and great detail about the tactics that delivered the Gold. That amount of watts for almost an hour!? Matt Stephens a brilliant interviewer.
Thanks for the comments Mitch.
Got recommended this about 1000 times thought I’d finally watch it - loved it
Thanks, Fergus!
Astounding attention to detail from Brad. Everything measured. Fascinating the narrow path of confidence in the ability and then the worry of failure.
Thanks Mark!
Loved this one, but then again, I've loved them all. Long may the 'cafe rides' continue.👍
More Cafe Rides are incoming for 2022!
I love The Cafe Ride series! It’s a really great production with some really great people. As I sit home recovering from injury I’m digging through to find all the episodes. I can’t wait for more. Great job, Matt.
Best thing on YT this year without a doubt. Inspiring, funny and emotional, it’s got everything.
High Praise! Thank you James.
One of the best interviews I have seen. Honest and feelings of imposter syndrome in a top level athlete and making Brad human and relatable. Also very funny and well put together. 👏
Thanks Manny! Great to hear your thoughts.
Superb video, loved it. Met both these guys, top gents. Wiggo seems very insecure, self conscious and quite humble in person, total opposite to how people perceive him in the media. A real inspiration to me and got me on my bike transforming my life really.
Great to hear your story! Thanks for watching.
Great show. Matt, always great to see you. You bring out the best of whomever you interview. This made me appreciate Sir Bradley even more. Thank you both 💕
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this one Matt and what a great trip down memory lane this must have been for Brad and for everyone who watched the race, like myself, 10 years previously. It was this generation of British cyclists that changed the whole perspective of cycling on the world stage where we once would have only dreamed of stuff like this actually happening.
What a wonderful watch. All the gentle fun and repartee we expect from Matt. I lived in Hillingdon in the 90s and was a regular at the original Sigma. Used to race and ride on those roads including the Hampton Pool tris, didn't get the same consideration from drivers then as the boys did now. I moved to Vancouver, BC in 2009 and so missed the 2012 Olympics but lived vicariously through the stories Matt and Brad shared. Cheers Guys.
Cheers for your comments Julian!
Fabulous interview with Sir Bradley and listening to him explain how his insecurities dealing with success and fame off the bike made him act in eccentric ways.
Thanks, John!
Definitely my favorite Sigma video yet. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Paul! Great to hear your support.
As always Matt, Amazing. Love these Cafe Rides. Keep them comming. Brad... you are a Legend
Thanks for watching Mike.
Great stories, great guys delivering lots of lol banter chapeu!! 👌
Matt always gets a instant thumbs up, even before I watch it! Fantastic video!
Thanks Mike!
Matt, thank you and Sigma for these Cafe Rides! This interview and the one you did with Cav are my favorites! You have a very warm and engaging interview style that is truly a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for your feedback! More Cafe Rides coming in 2022!
Phenomenal cafe ride (I've enjoyed them all). Two great storytellers and a wealth of cycling history between you. Beautifully shot and edited, too.
Thanks for watching, Michael. We really appreciate the comment.
I friggen love these cafe rides with Matt. Bloody brilliant, gentlemen. Cheers.
Thanks, Ian. More coming in 2022!
One of the best of Matt and surprisingly candid Wiggins. Brilliant interview. Fans of both! Thanks guys!
Thanks for watching!
Great interview, interesting to hear Brad being so open. Great athlete and inspiration to many.
What a guy. Uncomfortable with his own success which really is a marker of a very down to earth man. Great viewing
What an amazing video, thank you Sigma Sports and Matt Stephens. Brads legacy? He inspired me to get on a bike at 50 years of age and I've been riding regularly ever since, thanks Sir Brad. I'll never be a racer but I really enjoy doing sportives. Was worried at one point that Brad had lost his way but great to see that he's back with what he knows best, cycling, and is around to give his expert insight, comments and advice on cycle races on tv. Hope the 10th anniversary goes well Brad, you deserve it. Chapeau.
Fantastic to hear you have been inspired and are enjoying cycling. Thanks for the comments and for watching.
Absolutely brilliant production and interview by Matt. This should be on TV as a series!
Thanks for your comments Carlton!
Very entertaining conversation, but so much for legacy, you bottled the big question…TUEs and Jiffy bag.
Great stuff. Hat's off to Bradley for being so open.
Brilliant Matt, Brads one of the best !! great interview.
I remember a few years back at the Tour of Britain stage finish on Hay Tor, Dartmoor after the race having a sandwich with my mate, whilst Matt Stephens was doing a bit for the TV right next to us and before recordings he did some amazing impressions of the riders - and that hilarious laugh he's got! Great stuff!
Thanks for watching Ian! Great story!
Best thing Ive seen on here in ages, Brad is so candid about himself and that poo story is hilarious
Absolutely classic, cheers for watching!
Wonderful to be reminded of such happy times. Thank you to all concerned for making this. Next show could be a competitive cook off'. Not cycling related but damn that would entertain.
Not sure we're ready to let Matt loose in the kitchen just yet... 😅
Sweet, honest, emotional, heart warming. And I love that you laugh together. Feels so good!
Thanks for watching!
Why have I not seen these cafe ride videos people?? Watched 3 in 2 days. Getting the proper top riders on too is great
Brilliant. Lovely bit of history and told with a great balance of reverence and humour #chapeau chaps 👏👏👏
I wish Matt was my uncle. He seems like such an incredible person.
Just a lovely bloke
He's a great guy to work with and be around, very genuine and positive energy at all times. Thanks for watching.
Excellent a stop at a propa caff in W Molesey. One thing I remember at time was Brad complaining about rough road surface and Elmbridge Council not even bothering to fix pot holes with whole world watching.
Brilliant! I don't normally watch a YT twice but I'll be coming back to this one again for sure!
Thanks Peter!
Loved it, great to see two mates having a laugh. The bloke behind Matt in the cafe was the spitting image of Tony Martin aswell😀
Thanks Mark!
Nice touch from the producers to use the footage from the rider with the dog. Enjoyed this!
Thanks for watching!
