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

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 👍

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 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.

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👍👍

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.
