Summary

Stage 18 of the Giro d’Italia took the riders from Borgo Valsugana to Treviso in the Veneto region. On paper, this looked like the last opportunity for the sprinter in this year’s Corsa Rosa. But a strong four-man breakaway group would upset the odds.

In tonight’s episode we are joined by the Acting American Ambassador to Italy, Thomas D. Smithham to discuss all the action, the dos and don’ts of ordering both apperitivo and desert in Treviso, the blockbuster weekend, and life as a foreigner in Italy.
