Sigma Sports Unplugged with Matt Stephens

Matt Stephens takes us behind the scenes at the Tour de France 2026, where he has been meeting the fans on Alpe d’Huez and witnessing some of the best final week’s racing of all time. There were Individual Time Trials, breakaways, records smashed, and a blistering finish in Paris. Off the bike, Matt has made friends with the Paul Seixas Fan Club, soaked up the atmosphere at Beefeater Bend, and survived a party at “Temu Dutch Corner”!

Matt Stephens is back with another week’s worth of reflections on rest day two of the 2026 Tour de France. This is the mini series where Matt takes you behind the scenes at the WBD Sport studios, with thrilling in-race finish line action as well as post race analysis and insights. Matt also reflects on a heron reflecting on its own statue, chats tea vessels with his colleague Chappers, and pays homage to the Belgian accent with Adam Blythe… Which, to be honest, is probably why you’re here!

From the TV studio in Chiswick, Matt Stephens takes us behind the scenes at the greatest show on earth (Tour de France), to bring you the second greatest show on earth (this podcast). You’ll hear live finish line reactions from Matt and his Eurosport TNT WB Discovery colleagues, meandering vignettes about crows stealing his lunch, melancholic pizza sadness, and a reminder to those who are finding the Pogacar era a little predictable, that we’re witnessing history with perhaps the greatest rider of all time.

Matt Stephens chats to one of his best friends and colleagues, Rebecca Charlton, about the cancer diagnosis that led to the toughest year of her life. By approaching her treatments the same way she approaches cycling, Rebecca went all in with full commitment - the only way she knows how. She credits her cyclist mindset and ability to tolerate suffering for her ongoing recovery, and commends the cycling community for their ability to pop up just about anywhere, to chat about Matt Stephens’ balls.
