A look back to the conclusion of the 2019 Tour de France with Simon Brotherton, Gareth Rhys Owen, Rob Hayles and Jeremy Whittle.

The riders sipped champagne whilst the crowds waited for them to make their way into Paris bringing the 2019 Tour de France to an end. Champion Egan Bernal crossing the line with Ineos teammate Geraint Thomas who was second. Rob, Simon, Jeremy and Gareth reflect the final day for the sprinters and look back at a tour that had it all.

Gareth Rhys Owen, Simon Brotherton, Rob Hayles and Jeremy Whittle reflect upon Colombian Egan Bernal’s victory at the Tour on a day when Geraint Thomas clinched second and Vincenzo Nibali won a shortened stage in the Alps. Plus an unexpected guest drops into the podcast.

It was supposed to be a short but brutal stage, but it wasn’t meant to be called off due to an avalanche. But it was and Team Ineos’ Egan Bernal now wears the leaders yellow jersey with Julian Alaphilippe finally relenting. Listen in as the BeSpoke team nearly get struck by lightning and then washed away as they descend from the mountain.

Nairo Quintana takes the stage victory but the main talking point is whether or not Geraint Thomas attacked his own team mate and co-leader Egan Bernal. Rob Hayles, Jeremy Whittle, Simon Brotherton and Gareth Rhys Owen ask if the reigning champion was right to do it, what it means, plus Rob gives us an insight in the art of descending after Julian Alaphilippe puts on a masterclass.
