0:00.0	Here, listening to Giro Vagando, the cycling podcast at the 2021 Giro d'Italia, powered
0:22.6	by Super Sapiens, Energy Management for committed athletes and coaches. Today we are in Guardia San Framondi.
0:41.0	Where are we, Danieli, Fribrancini, Frappuccino?
0:44.8	How rich is you not going to believe this? You got something wrong? No, we're back in.
1:00.5	I don't know, another burst after the last night's of the song.
1:17.8	We discussed that last night, rich, and real, but I still don't think I explained why this myth has arisen.
1:35.1	We went into Moliise again, then we faced in Campania, and now we're back in Moliise, and tomorrow morning we'll be in Aburutson.
1:50.4	It's been very changing landscapes down here. We spent like we were really in the mountains a couple of days ago, and then the plains today as we left Fodgia.
2:02.4	It's a pretty huge mountain to loom you over us now.
2:06.7	We're in a small town called Boyano. We're definitely in the south of Italy, aren't we?
2:14.3	This is a very different vibe down here. A town of the north would be very different.

2:33.6	The building is too. It's just a very, very different place.
2:38.0	There's a chaos. There's an energy to life which you don't get in the north. The north is quite polished and glossy by comparison, isn't it?
2:46.6	There's an intensity to life in the south, which some people absolutely love.
2:50.4	In the same way that we might sometimes sound sniffy about certain places in the south.
2:55.9	Some people are like that about the north because they find it a little bit sterile and lifeless in comparison to places like this.
3:03.9	Indeed. As you say, Daniel Heading is properly into the mountains north.
3:09.7	Tomorrow's a stage I'm really looking forward to actually.
3:12.0	It's not an Alpine stage or a Dolomite stage but it's a very, very difficult looking stage on paper.
3:21.0	Aponine stage. It's an aponine stage and it should give us a real sort out which we didn't have today.
3:27.1	Today was a funny stage really. It got underway in Foggia and it was 173 kilometres to Guardia, San Framonde.
