episode 56: Stage 16 | Lovere – Ponte di Legno | Giro d’Italia 2019
On another day of miserable weather at the Giro d’Italia there was an enthralling stage that included the climb of the Passo del Mortirolo, which saw Vincenzo Nibali on the attack and Primoz Roglic losing valuable time.
Richard Moore and Daniel Friebe are joined by Brian Nygaard to discuss the implications of the day’s stage for the final destination of the pink jersey, with Richard Carapaz looking an increasingly likely winner. Nibali is up to second while Roglic has dropped to third.
There are interviews with Luca Guercilena, manager of the Trek-Segafredo team, whose rider, Giulio Ciccone took a well-deserved stage win. We also hear from his teammate Bauke Mollema, from Movistar manager Eusebio Unzue and from Nibali’s coach, Paolo Slongo.
