Well good afternoon and welcome to the beautiful Teautuocice in the heart of all Trento.

We're here as autumn slowly closes in on us to cast our eyes forward and dream of sunnier times of summer.

Comé prima. And at a journey across the Italian peninsula from the Apennines to the Dolomites and from

Turin to Rome, it's time to look forward to the Giro women next July and also to reveal

the roots of the 107th Giro Italia. Well the very slight Italian hubbub that you can hear is genuine stuff that is genuine stuff. That is a conversation ongoing between the director of the

jury d'ertens early Marovini and the shark of Messina in Shenzhen,

Nibel, who as things stand right now with 10 minutes to go until the jury presentation,

he's just getting his microphone put on because he's part of the presentation team these days, no longer racing.

And his buttocks, slim and slender, though they are still, are resting on the little bit of

perspex that separates me from the wider backstage area here in the Teatro sucheale

in Trento.

Prima Shroglich is also wandering around looking for the toilet somewhere

and we are awaiting the imminent arrival of Filippo Gana Jai Hindley and Peter Sagan,

as well as Letizia Pata Noster and Eliza Longo Borgini, who are all

going to join us on stage. It's going to be wildly good fun. But in terms of this podcast, we are going to do a big jump leap past the Gula presentation in time and space.

And I'm going to pick it up the other side of Perry's wonderful jingle when we will talk, well I'll talk to Peter and David in another Italian

edition of Nevestrais Farfale. And then. And now I'm going to go.

So then it goes...

Wait, it goes...

I'll go to.

Me, David, Pete, you go to, go to you go to okay Pete goes three okay so I'm gonna go one two

three
