Summary
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down a furious day of racing that saw Movistar blow up the race on a mid-stage climb, only for UAE's Jhonatan Narváez to swoop and win the stage. They discuss how the Giro d'Italia stage win is a massive moment for Narváez, who just returned from a long recovery following a bad early-season crash, if Ineos made the right decision in sending stage contender Ben Turner back to pace a dropped Egan Bernal, and how Visma and Jonas Vingegaard looked unshakeable near the front all day. They then preview Wednesday's Stage 5, which serves up a tough mountain stage that could see GC action. Listen in to see what the duo thinks of the stage, how the action will play out tomorrow, who will come out on top, and which riders present the best betting value.
