Hello listeners, The Bradley Wiggins Show will be back for the Giro d'Italia later this week but in the meantime, let us introduce you to our new podcast, The Breakdown, kicking off with a big exclusive with the man who will be aiming to boss the sprints in Italy, Mark Cavendish.

Speaking to our own Orla Chennaoui and Greg Rutherford, Cav opens up like never before over his relationship with team-mate Fabio Jakobsen and those media stories whirling around about who will get the coveted Tour de France spot. You can listen to that part of the conversation right here as a taster.

Ahead of the Giro, he also discusses his depression diagnosis, and reveals a truly unique Fight Club-style initiation at Quick-Step, which you won't want to miss.
