Show Notes
The eighth stage of the Giro d'Italia was supposed to be the big one. The stage that would all but determine the general classification, even with one final stage remaining. Instead, the stage was cut short by about 27 km and one iconic climb. The battle that was foretold came to nothing, which means the final stage is going to be...well. It's going to be something to watch. For the eighth episode of our Giro Daily podcasts, Loren and Abby are joined by Julie Leth to talk about the stage and what could have been, plus what they think will happen on Sunday. With audio diaries from Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM), Lauren Dickson (FDJ United-Suez), and Amanda "Spratty" Spratt (Lidl-Trek).

Abby, Loren, and Gracie get together this week to talk about Marianne Vos's Gravel World Championships victory, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney's move to Lidl-Trek, and a couple other transfers to keep an eye on.

Another World Championships is over, and it was one for the books. The best rider in the women's peloton claimed the top step and a rainbow jersey she can wear for the next year, but her two top rivals gave her a run for her money. Abby, Gracie, and Georgie, joined by 2024 ITT world champion and Olympic gold medalist Grace Brown, to talk all about it.
This week, Abby and Loren are joined again by Hannah Barnes Bewley and Anna Shackley to talk about the World Championship Time Trial, Marlen Reusser's rollercoaster season, why the Italians excel at national team events, and if Demi Vollering can win the road race on Saturday.
