Summary
We discuss the World Jacket Putting-On Championships and Team Sunweb's tactics and ask why the mood in the camp might not be ecstatic tonight considering they took the stage victory and the pink jersey. We reflect on João Almeida's incredible run as race leader, which came to an end on the Stelvio, and wonder whether Tao Geogheghan Hart can win this Giro over the weekend.
And there's an unmissable entry in James Knox's Giro diary.
Then we discuss the third stage of the Vuelta a España, which was won by Ireland's Dan Martin.

| 1:03.1 | great fascination in it is not knowing who was going to win. |
| 1:08.0 | And I'm not sure, well, maybe a bit closer to that tonight, but that was really what underpinned |
| 1:13.4 | I think the drama today, it was, you know, the race was sort of being turned on its head |
| 1:20.8 | as we watched the Jawel made a finally, finally cracked. |
