S9 Ep47: Kilometre 0 – The Baron of Biella
The start of stage three of the Giro d'Italia in Biella will be a homecoming for one individual with an awe-inspiring palmarès and huge influence in professional cycling. Giuseppe Acquadro is the town‘s prodigal son – and he is an agent, not a rider. In fact, some have called the man whose client portfolio includes Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana and Richard Carapaz cycling‘s first ‘super-agent’. But much about Acquadro remains largely unknown – his background, his methods, the relationships that he has made, sometimes broken and often repaired. Daniel talked to the man himself – and others who know him – to hopefully peel back some of the intrigue surrounding ‘The Baron of Biella’.
