Summary

No day is the same at the Giro d'Italia but very few start, for Richard and Daniel at least, with a meeting with the US Acting Ambassador to Italy. We hear from Ambassador Tom Smitham – a keen cyclist and friend of the podcast – in tonight's episode and we have all the reaction from a crucial stage that finished at Monte Zoncolan, including interviews with Simon Yates's sports director, Matt White, and Egan Bernal's, Dario Cioni. There's another instalment from our audio diarist, James Knox, and we hear from Mark Christian, whose teammate, Lorenzo Fortunato, was the surprise winner at the summit of the Zoncolan.
