“What would Barry do?” is our new mantra at Feed Zone Towers, although for starters he’d probably have remembered Lorena Wiebes’ name and who wrote ‘Jerusalem’. In between bouts of amnesia, we look back at an intriguing first week of the Giro d’Italia, pick out highlights from the Vuelta Feminina and Itzulia Women and fly off at tangents along the way. Buckle up!

Photo: Alfredo Binda stops at the Foligno check point during stage 8 of the 1928 Giro d’Italia, a trifling 323km affair from Rome to Pistoia. Binda had taken the race lead 4 stages earlier but the pink leader’s jersey was still another years away. Stage 8 would be his fifth of seven stage wins on his way to his third Giro title but it wouldn’t be until his 5th and final Giro victory in 1933 that the ‘Trumpeter of Cittiglio” would wear the famous Maglia Rosa.
