The Giro finally journeyed into the Alps with Richard Carapaz in the maglia rosa and the peloton weary after Saturday’s blockbuster into Turin. Could Jai Hindley and Bora-Hansgrohe dethrone the Ecuadorian ahead of Monday’s rest day? We hear from Hindley after a stage that elevated a great white hope of Italian cycling but saw the GC contenders cancel each other out. The episode also features a disappointed but hopeful Hugh Carthy, the inimitable Ciro Scognamiglio - and some very lively local fans. AMARATERRA
