We’re looking at the first ‘Grand Tour’ of the season in this Arrivée episode from The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Rose Manley and Denny Gray of The British Continental pick out the big stories from a week of varied and exhilarating racing.

SD Worx came to the race looking for redemption after being narrowly denied the Vuelta title in last year’s controversial edition, but their leader Demi Vollering had a lot to prove after a disappointing Spring campaign. Her closest rivals - Kasia Niewiadoma and Elisa Longo Borghini - had both already taken landmark wins this year and were on confident form. 

There’s also plenty to discuss away from the GC race, in a course that offered up high mountains, a team time trial, breakaway success and chaos causing crosswinds.

As per tradition, in association with our friends at Dvine Cellars in London, we’re presenting a selection of six wines showcasing the same terroir that the Giro d’Italia will visit in May. And, as we’ve done in other years, we’ve asked Greg Andrews of Dvine to talk us through the selection on the eve of the race.

If you’re not into wine, this is NOT the podcast for you! If, however, you do want to hear what Greg and Daniel have to say, stay tuned and head to https://dvinecellars.com/products/the-cycling-podcast-giro-ditalia to make an order.

The wines in the case are listed below with links to the (all very informative) producers’ websites. Unfortunately, Dvine’s cases are still only available to UK listeners but in many instances you will be able to find similar wines, from the same regions, wherever you are. Please also enjoy in moderation!

The wines (in Giro route order):

STAGE 3: Summer Wolff, GioGio Freisa, Monferrato, Piedmonte (https://www.summerwolffwines.com/)

STAGE 6: Cosimo Maria Massini, Annick, Sauvignon Blanc/Vermentino, Tuscany (https://www.cosimomariamasini.com/en/)

STAGE 11: Caiaffa, Negroamaro, Puglia (https://www.caiaffavini.it/en/)

STAGE 11: Di Majo Norante, Sangiovese, Campomarino, Molise (https://www.dimajonorante.com/en)

STAGE 16: Cantina Adriano, Müller-Thurgau, Trentino Alto-Adige (https://www.kellerei-andrian.com/)

STAGE 18: Serafini & Vidotto, Bollicine Rosé NV, Veneto (https://www.serafinividotto.it/)

The Giro d’Italia starts here! We begin Girovagando 2024 - our comprehensive coverage of the first Grand Tour of the 2024 season - with our now time-honoured XL preview, ahead of Saturday’s Grande Partenza in Turin. 

Daniel Friebe is joined by Brian Nygaard and Rob Hatch for a thorough examination of riders, race route and the big questions ahead of an edition that Tadej Pogačar is widely expected to win. The episode features exclusive interviews with two men who have seen first-hand just how thoroughly Pogačar has prepared for his first appearance in ‘La Corsa Rosa’ - Team UAE Emirates’ Performance Coordinator Jeroen Swart and climbing lieutenant Rafał Majka.

We also discuss cultural highlights on the route, what to look forward to from our podcasts in the next month - and one terrifying threat that will loom over the whole race when we get to Naples.
