| 8/31/26 |  Vuelta a España Rest Day Reflections 2026 - Stages 1 to 9 - Predictably unpredictable! | A rising star, a stage with no winner, and a massive upset for the favourite - the first nine stages of the 2026 Vuelta Ciclista a España had it all. Join Matt Stephens as he looks back at the action from each stage, offering his thoughts on proceedings while also meandering into the territory of waterfowl information boards, a chance encounter with Beck, and a frightening moment for a duck as it escaped from a pike.

| 8/21/26 | Mads Würtz Schmidt on his successful switch from road racer to gravel champion | Danish gravel star Mads Würtz Schmidt joins Matt Stephens fresh off a remarkable run of wins to explain how leaving the WorldTour behind has transformed him as an athlete. The Specialized rider opens up candidly about the mental health struggles that derailed parts of his road career, how a new coach and a more structured routine have made him faster and, crucially, more durable, and why he believes gravel racing suits his old-school time-trialling instincts better than anything he found on the road. They also get into life in Girona, the brutal, rock-strewn gravel that makes the region such a proving ground, the bond with teammate Matt Beers that helped power a huge win at Traka, and Mads's hopes of one day adding a gravel World Championship jersey to his collection. www.sigmasports.com Learn more about your ad choices.

| 11/14/25 | Chris Hall on his stupid bike challenges for Movember | Matt Stephens chats to ultra-distance bike racer, content creator and charity fundraiser Chris Hall about his recent challenges for Movember. Despite atrocious weather conditions, Chris completed a lap of Britain unsupported during the summer of 2025, learning valuable lessons along the way. With a history of severe depression, Movember is a charity close to his heart and this monumental effort is documented superbly in Chris’ film “Bikepacking the Perimeter of Britain”. Cycling has played a huge part in Chris' recovery from depression and continues to help him maintain his mental health. www.sigmasports.com Support Chris’ Movember fundraising at his MoSpace: https://uk.movember.com/mospace/6408721 Chris Hall’s ‘Bikepacking The Perimeter of Britain’ on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLGuamHY2pc Learn more about your ad choices.
