The Cycling Podcast

The penultimate mountain stage of the 2022 Giro d’Italia took the race into Slovenia, with the battle for the maglia rosa still delicately poised. Could Richard Carapaz consolidate his advantage - or might Mikel Landa and Jai Hindley attempt to finally break the deadlock that has turned this into one of the closest, most uncertain Giri in recent memory?

Breakaways have been consistently rewarded in recent days, and so it would prove again with Koen Bouwman taking his second stage win of the Giro. Meanwhile, despite numerous attempts from all three in the finale, Carapaz, Hindley and Landa still couldn’t be separated. In tonight’s episode, we discuss all the day’s action, welcome BikeExchange-Jayco directeur sportif Matt White for a drive-by cameo, and look ahead to tomorrow’s Dolomite blockbuster with some of the riders who’ll have to scale the San Pellegrino and Fedaia passes in just a few hours.
