Kilometre 0 – The duel, part 2

We left the story of the 2012 Giro d'Italia on the eve of the Stelvio stage on the penultimate day of the race with the destiny of the maglia rosa still delicately poised. Ryder Hesjedal had trimmed Joaquim Rodriguez's lead at Alpe de Pampeago and just needed to keep the Spaniard on a leash to stand a great chance of becoming the first Canadian grand tour winner in the final time trial in Milan. In this episode we again here from the team's boss Jonathan Vaughters, rookie sports director Charly Wegelius and Hesjedal's right-hand man in the Garmin-Barracuda team Christian Vande Velde about a Giro decided by just a few seconds and the aftermath of the race.

Stage 9 | Isernia – Blockhaus | Giro d’Italia 2022

The first of the Giro d’Italia’s big mountain stages to Blockhaus shuffled the general classification but kept the race very much alive. Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie as they assess the winners and losers from stage nine. Who bounded up the stairs three at a time and who pressed the button for the basement in the elevator? Who scaled the ladders and who slipped down the snakes? We also visited a key sight in the 1860s unification of Italy, we heard from one of the stars from the breakaway and asked what the leading GC teams weigh up when deciding which riders should and shouldn’t be allowed to get up the road.

Stage 8 | Napoli – Napoli | Giro d’Italia 2022

Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie in Napoli, the home of pizza and Ciro Scognamiglio, as they recap stage eight of the Giro d’Italia. We discuss a second Giro stage win for a breakaway specialist ten years after his first. Which rider is developing a reputation for riding grand tours as if they were a giant game of snakes and ladders. And can it ever be said that an aggressive, attacking rider performed poorly? Daniel and Lionel also visited the ancient city of Pompeii, sampled the perfect Neopolitan pizza and look ahead to tomorrow’s stage to Blockhaus.

The first of a trilogy of difficult stages in the Giro d’Italia took the riders from Diamante to Potenza.

Kilometre 0 – The duel, part 1

This is the tenth anniversary of one of the closest grand tours of all-time, decided by just 16 seconds after a two-week tussle between two very different riders. The Canadian Ryder Hesjedal and the Spaniard Joaquim Rodriguez took turns wearing the maglia roas as if they were playing a game of pass the parcel. It was an intriguing clash of styles too – the patient diesel versus the jack-in-the-box. In this two part Kilometre 0, Lionel Birnie speaks to the boss of the Garmin-Barracuda team Jonathan Vaughters, first-time sports director Charly Wegelius, and one of the key support riders Christian Vande Velde about how they pulled it off. Just a few months earlier the team had almost ceased to exist and yet after a steady start in Copenhagen and a great team time trial when the race reached Italy they found themselves in the mix.

Stage 6 | Palmi – Scalea | Giro d’Italia 2022

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie made it to Scalea despite being stuck behind the e-Giro for more than 50 kilometres. Fortunately, the Giro d’Italia peloton was racing a lot less aggressively than yesterday and stage six finished well behind schedule. We unpick the sprint finish and hear from two of the winner’s teammates after the finish. We also react to the news of Vincenzo Nibali’s impending retirement and hear from his Astana teammate Joe Dombrowski, Nibali’s fellow Sicilian Domenico Pozzovivo, the Giro race director Mauro Vegni and Dario Cataldo.
