Join Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard in Barolo country for a discussion about the Giro d’Italia’s frantic chase between the break and bunch.

Expect some wine chat, general disgust at the idea of dipping focaccia into cappuccino, the merits of the Giro’s transitional stages, and a fierce debate about whether the overall race has been exciting enough. We hear from the riders, sports directors and there’s another installment of the Giro del Bufalo.
