Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie in Napoli, the home of pizza and Ciro Scognamiglio, as they recap stage eight of the Giro d’Italia.

We discuss a second Giro stage win for a breakaway specialist ten years after his first. Which rider is developing a reputation for riding grand tours as if they were a giant game of snakes and ladders. And can it ever be said that an aggressive, attacking rider performed poorly?

Daniel and Lionel also visited the ancient city of Pompeii, sampled the perfect Neopolitan pizza and look ahead to tomorrow’s stage to Blockhaus.

Amaraterra provide our theme song, Cozze, and other music for The Cycling Podcast’s coverage of the Giro d’Italia. Their Bandcamp page is here: https://amaraterra.bandcamp.com/
