Part 2 of The Socially Distant Sports Bar, where the conversation turns to the stories behind sport.
Join Elis James and Mike Bubbins as they deep dive into sports.
This week, the focus is on cycling legend Eddy Merckx, using a classic documentary as a starting point, alongside a book exploring participation and inclusion in sport.
As ever, you don’t need to have seen or read anything — the discussion goes where it goes.
