episode 169: The Grandest Tour stage 17: The Italian-Spanish-Belgium triangle
For the second day in a row there are three races in three countries to discuss. Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie are joined by the star of our Tour de France coverage, François Thomazeau.
In the first part we review stage 17 of the Giro d’Italia, where Aussie Ben O’Connor went one better than yesterday and took a vital victory for NTT Pro Cycling.
Then we recap the men’s Three Days of De Panne, where the wind caused havoc, Mathieu Van der Poel ran off the road and ended up in a ditch and Yves Lampaert took victory on a day for the hard men.
Finally we talk about Movistar’s Least Expected Win – only their second of the year – by Marc Soler at the Vuelta a España, plus we check in with Daniel Friebe in Spain.
