Summary

The first mountain stage of this year's Giro d'Italia saw a commanding win for Egan Bernal, who took over the pink jersey, after a thrilling day's racing in the Abruzzo mountains.

In our stage nine episode we hear from Bernal, as well as Giulio Ciccone, who was second on the stage. There's an interview with Natnael Tesfatsion, the Eritrean on the Androni team, and Richard and Daniel go on a pilgrimage in Castel di Sangro, where the stage started and which was the setting for a great sports book, The Miracle of Castel di Sangro, by American author Joe McGinniss.

with the injury. So I need to be really careful. I'm just starting to do my best but, you

1:07.6

know, I need to go day by day and really be careful in the morning. I'm doing physio,

1:14.6

I'm doing core after the race. It's hard to race with this but I'm just starting to do my best

1:25.8

and, you know, we'll see. Well Daniel Bernal's back. He's back. His back or he's back.

1:34.8

Oh, I get it. I get it. His back was, what it was, a big topic of conversation in the, in
