2012 Tour de France and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins has recorded a special show with his idol Paul Weller for BBC 6Music which will air over the Christmas period.
According to reports, the pair were in the radio station’s Salford studios yesterday (October 8th) to record the one-off show, which will feature classic tracks and stories from their respective careers.
“It’s fantastic that two men who have excelled in their chosen fields can share their love of music on BBC Radio 6 Music,” James Stirling, head of programming for 6Music, has said.
“We’ve had a long relationship with Paul Weller and I know that Bradley and his team listened to 6 Music during this year’s Tour de France. Their show will be a chance for them to reflect on their year and to play and discuss the tunes that have inspired them throughout their lives.”
Wiggins is also said to be ready to present an episode of the BBC’s music-based comedy panel series Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
