The Giro d’Italia is safely (ish) back on home turf so the team take stock of the first week and a bit of the year’s first Grand Tour. Predictably, Jonas’ Blockhaus blockbuster don’t impress Gary much (his time trial even less so) but is it just a matter of time before the Danish Dynamo (cough) chalks up a debut Maglia Rosa? Elsewhere in racing, is it mere coincidence that the subject of the last episode’s biggying-up, Mischa Bredewold took her first GC win at Itzulia? Of course it is, but that doesn’t stop Chris, David and Gary pushing themselves as the natural successors to Cyrille Guimard.
