Jai Hindley came within 20 minutes of winning the Giro d'Italia. Losing a Grand Tour on the final day is a bitter pill to swallow. Thankfully, the 24-year-old Australian Hindley has a steady head upon his shoulders. Because while it was Tao Geoghegan Hart who took home the Giro title, it was Team Sunweb's Hindley who came away with the realisation he can win a Grand Tour one day.

The Cyclist Magazine Podcast sat down with Hindley for a long conversation around his Giro experience discussing everything from team leadership dynamics, struggling to put jackets on and wearing the Maglia Rosa in Milan.

We also made the surprise revelation that Hindley is half Mancunian and chat about being the only boy at school who shaved his legs and wore lycra on the weekends.

If you like the episode remember to leave us a review and share with your cycling friends.

In association with Castelli.
