In our first episode from the 2021 Giro d'Italia Richard Moore and Daniel Friebe are joined in Turin by Brian Nygaard, Italophile and former pro team manager turned wine maker.

We discuss the stage one time trial and look ahead to the next three weeks, hearing from Egan Bernal, Tobias Foss, Max Walscheid and our audio diarist, James Knox.

Daniel also gets a tour of Turin with local resident and celebrated author Herbie Sykes, who tells us all about the real Torino and the legacy of Fausto Coppi and his brother, Serse.
