On the second rest day of the Giro d'Italia Richard and Daniel sit down in Canazei in the Dolomites to answer some listeners' questions.

Topics include downhill time trials, littering, Italy and the Giro's place in its cultural landscape, and why there is no cycling equivalent of Sam Allardyce, the football manager.

For a couple of questions we turn to James Knox, of Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Eurosport GCN commentator Rob Hatch for their insights.
