Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero return for another episode of The Socially Distant Sports Bar.

You might know Elis from his podcast with John Robins "Elis & John" and Mike from his sitcom "Mammoth"

Elis has chosen the book Wide Eyed and Legless by Jeff Connor, the story of the ANC-Halfords cycling team at the Tour de France. It is a tale of ambition, suffering, optimism and the brutal reality of trying to compete at the highest level of professional cycling.
