The Cycling Podcast / The Press Conference | Rest Day 1

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. 

The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport
