The last mountain stage of the 2022 Giro d’Italia promised fireworks. Three giant Dolomite passes & two determined opponents, Mikel Landa & Jai Hindley, stood between Richard Carapaz & a repeat of his 2019 Giro triumph tomorrow in Verona. 

In tonight’s episode, from the Passo Fedaia, we tell the story of a thrilling day made even more exciting by the preceding three weeks of mounting suspense.
