Robbie McEwen on his controversial rider safety opinion

Sigma Sports Unplugged with Matt Stephens

About this episode

Matt Stephens chats to Robbie McEwen about his highlights of the 2024 season, and whether Tadej Pogacar can be beaten in 2025. The Australian fast man sprinted to his fair share of victories over his illustrious career; none more memorable than his first grand tour stage win in 1999, which came at the Champs Elysees - a story he retells with humorous detail. On the topic of rider safety raised by Christian Prudhomme recently, McEwen’s not shy of expressing his controversial opinions, and offers sage advice that some riders won’t want to hear.
