How to win a bike race

Tom Fordyce is joined by author Peter Cossins to discuss how tactics work in the peloton

Tom Fordyce and the team are joined by author Peter Cossins to discuss how tactics work in the peloton. They explore how riders cope with breakaways, crosswinds, cobbles and bunch sprints, and explain why bike races often baffle as much as entertain.

They hear from Mark Cavendish on what it's like at the business end of a sprint stage, and Chris Froome talks about the "game of poker" that's often played in the mountains.
