Summary

For stage 13 of The Grandest Tour we are joined again by former professional Ian Boswell, who discusses the Giro d'Italia in the company of Richard Moore, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie.

There are audio diaries from Jacopo Guarnieri, the lead-out man for sprinter Arnaud Démare, and James Knox, an important teammate for Joao Almeida, who still holds the pink jersey of race leader and increased his advantage on Friday by finishing second on the stage.

Who will be in pink after Saturday's crucial time trial? That was the question we asked in the final part. Most agreed that Almeida should keep it, but the stage itself is finely balanced and will set the tone for the final, mountainous week of the Giro.
