Summary

The Giro d’Italia resumed after its rest day with the news that two high profile riders, Steven Kruijswijk and Michael Matthews, had tested positive for Covid and were out of the race.

In this episode we hear from Ben Swift and Brandon McNulty, as well as our audio diarist James Knox, and the sports directors of two of the Covid-affected teams, Luke Roberts of Team Sunweb and Addy Engels of Jumbo-Visma.
