Summary
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Michael Valgren's incredible win via a late solo attack from the breakaway on a hot, hard day through the foothills of the Dolomites. They discuss what the win means for Valgren, who has had a long road back from a terrible crash in 2022, and how important this is for his EF team, which has struggled to make an impact thus far at the race. They also preview tomorrow's Stage 18, going into why they think will win and how it will unfold.
