About this listen

In this episode of Re-Cycle, we re-count when Federico Bahamontes blew a 16-minute lead to hand his big rival Jesús Loroño the yellow jersey on a plate


It was one of cycling's bitterest rivalries and that fateful Vuelta 1957 took things to a new level.


But there’s much more than there seems to a story that blends social, political, economic, sporting and personal conflict.


Re-Cycle is written by Felix Lowe, narrated by Graham Willgoss, and produced by Pete Burton.
