Join Chris Sidwells throughout this year’s men’s Giro d’Italia for some little slices of Corsa Rosa history.

It’s 1924 and you’re a woman who plans to ride the Giro d’Italia. But there’s no women’s Giro in 1924. Not a problem for Alfonsina Strada!

In this first show, Chris tells the remarkable story of ‘the Devil in a Skirt’.
