episode 59: The Press Conference | Rest Day 1 | Giro d'Italia 2021
As the Giro d'Italia paused for its first rest day The Cycling Podcast does its now traditional rest day episode – the press conference.
Answering some of our listeners' questions, Richard and Daniel discuss subjects including the Giro's apparent "bias" against the south, rider safety, the vogue for gravel and even a non-Giro question concerning Julian Alaphilippe's decision to miss the Olympics.
We put some of your questions to our diarist, James Knox of Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and there's an update from our other diarist, Gino Mader of Bahrain Victorious. We also hear from Simon Yates on the subject of Wednesday's gravel stage.
