Summary

In this special episode of The Cycling Podcast - before our Girovagando coverage cranks up next week - we both revisit and preview six new KM0 episodes either released earlier in April or still to come before the Grande Partenza in Turin on May 4.

As ever, we’ll be serving up daily podcasts from on the ground in Italy, where the mood music in the run-up to the race has been dominated by Tadej Pogačar and his Giro-Tour bid. No surprise, then, that we’ll dedicate three KM0 episodes to ‘doubles’ of varying kinds - specifically, the last successful Giro-Tour slam by Marco Pantani, the football team that achieved Italy’s first Scudetto-Coppa Italia double and to whom the Grande Partenza is dedicated…and Pogačar’s own bid.

There are also extracts from our own ‘double-header’ - How to Become a Pro Cyclist and How to Become an Ex-Pro Cyclist featuring Jack Burke and Joe Dombrowski respectively. And, speaking of new roles, we also meet INEOS Grenadiers freshly appointed CEO, John Allert.
