The rain has started pouring in Italy but G remains right in the hunt for a podium spot in Rome. There's plenty to catch up on: the shorted stage 16, a mountain battle on stage 17, and today's sprint day.
With Luke and Tom busy, G hopped on the massage table, plugged in his mic, and updated Producer George on the comings and goings in Italy.
There's two big mountains days left - and G has two ascents of Monte Grappa to look forward to on his 38th birthday. Can you think of a better way to spend it?

What does G want for his Giro birthday? | Giro d'Italia stage 18 - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport

The Giro d'Italia saw a show today. A Tadej Pogacar show. And G had a front row seat, as he solidified his podium place. Fresh from the team bus he hopped on the massage table with his mic, gave Luke a buzz, and they set about recording an absolute classic Watts Occurring.
G was typically honest on the race within the race, if the Slovenian can be stopped, and all the rest of the action since our two Welshman last caught up.

Chasing Pogacar's greatness on the Queen stage | Giro d'Italia stage 15 - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport

The boys have been busy - G racing the Giro, Luke repping the pod live in studio on Eurosport, and there's three big days of racing to recap.
It's been pretty smooth since the rest day but, as always, Grand Tours are like a swan swimming across a pond. There's always a hell of a lot happening under the surface.
G filled us in on the peloton's antics, reflected on Julian Alaphilippe's incredible stage win today, another big ride from Johnny 'Bravo' Narvaez, and previewed stage 13's sprint test, before looking ahead to a brutal weekend of climbing. Strap yourselves in.
The Giro 'starts' this weekend.

It's rest day number one at the Giro, so you know what that means: it's time for a pod.
There's a lot for G and Luke to catch up on. That tricky time trial, the latest summit finish, what's coming up this week, and we even had some time for a few of your questions. Pippo Ganna even popped by.
We can't wait for week two - and we'll be back with another pod in a few days. Come on G!
