S9 Ep49: Stage 4 | Piacenza - Sestola | Giro d’Italia 2021

Joe Dombrowski took the win at Sestola on stage four of the Giro d'Italia and The Cycling Podcast were there to witness a career best performance by a rider we've followed since our (and his) early days. On this first day in the mountains there were some skirmishes among the overall contenders, too. We hear in tonight's episode from Nicki Sorensen, sports director at Israel Start-up Nation whose Italian veteran, Alessandro De Marchi, was second on the stage to take over the pink jersey of race leader. There's an interview with Matt Winston, sports director at Team DSM, and Hugh Carthy, who had a good day in his fight for the overall. And there are updates from our two audio diarists, James Knox and Gino Mader.
