The start of stage three of the Giro d'Italia in Biella will be a homecoming for one individual with an awe-inspiring palmarès and huge influence in professional cycling. 

Giuseppe Acquadro is the town‘s prodigal son – and he is an agent, not a rider. In fact, some have called the man whose client portfolio includes Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana and Richard Carapaz cycling‘s first ‘super-agent’. 

But much about Acquadro remains largely unknown – his background, his methods, the relationships that he has made, sometimes broken and often repaired. 

Daniel talked to the man himself – and others who know him – to hopefully peel back some of the intrigue surrounding ‘The Baron of Biella’.

Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens, the only real time energy management system for athletes.
