The Giro d’Italia resumed after the rest day with an historic stage and an unfortunate moment on the podium.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie discuss a stage that had all the hallmarks of an Italian one-day Classic.

We hear from the winner’s teammates and sports director. Matt White explains why Simon Yates is determined to continue in the Giro despite his knee injury and time loss at Blockhaus. There’s musical pasta chat and sheepish wine talk plus a beautiful edition of the Giro del Bufalo.

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/
