This month’s episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin includes Lizzy Banks’ unmissable audio diary from the Giro Rosa.

Banks, who won a stage for the second year in a row, takes listeners inside the race, interviewing her Équipe Paule Ka teammates, Emma Norsgaard, Elise Chabbey and Mikayla Harvey, as they discuss rough roads and even rougher hotel beds, supportive grandfathers and stealing Annemiek van Vleuten's podium champagne.

In the rest of the episode, Orla Chennaoui, Rose Manley and Richard Moore discuss the world road championships, including Anna van der Breggen’s second road race victory and first time trial title, and also look back at the Giro Rosa with Ashleigh Moolman Pasio.
