episode 31: Stage 1 | Budapest – Visegrád | Giro d’Italia 2022
The Giro d’Italia rolled out of Budapest on Friday morning and we were on the ground in Hungary to see it. An uphill finish at Visegrád castle promised drama and the stage certainly delivered. In the opening instalment of our post-stage Girovagando podcasts, we dissect the action with Hans Ruggenberg of De Telegraaf, hear from hometown hero Attila Valter, clairvoyant Giro ringmaster Gianni Savio and various other protagonists - and also update listeners on our bumbling “Quest for the Stuffed Cabbage”.
There’s, of course, plenty of talk about the flying Dutchman in pink - and why he began the day in a curious shade of another colour. We also hear from two of our three audio diarists for the Giro - Pavel Sivakov and James Knox - and reveal the identity of our third.
