Summary
We've got an interview with Deceuninck-Quick-step supremo Patrick Lefevere and another audio diary from one of his riders, James Knox.
And at the start in Ravenna we meet Marina Romoli, whose foundation The Cycling Podcast is supporting at this year's Giro through the sales of Stacy Snyder's cups, mugs and gelato bowls. Marina tells us about her life in cycling and pays tribute to the day's winner, Nizzolo, a good friend and supporter of her foundation to help fund research into spinal injuries and to support athletes – like Marina – whose careers are cut short by spinal or brain injuries.
