Giro d'Italia STAGE 4 REVIEW - Milan comes good as Pogacar's shorts come off

Italy's Jonathan Milan sprints to Stage Four victory in a thrilling finish. Filippo Ganna goes in the breakaway early and then a late 4k that got us all out of our seats. Disappointment for Biniam Girmay who crashes out as the UCI threaten Tadej Pogacar with his own departure via expulsion because of his shorts?! We preview Stage Five and look forward to the return of Jonas Vingegaard to racing plus how hard is it to put on a rain jacket? Sanny Rudravajhala and Katy Magdwick are in place to review Stage Four of the Giro d'Italia and look ahead for the rest of 2024's first Grand Tour. #giroditalia

  • Pogacar & Kopecky dominate, Man V Horse and what's Pidcock's problem?

    01:04:03|
    How many times will we say Tadej Pogacar is victorious on the road in 2024 - no more - the season is over as the Slovenian blows everyone away in Lombardia. Is road racing now the battle for second or even third when he’s racing? No Tom Pidcock present - has he thrown his toys out the pram one too many times at INEOS Grenadiers?! We have a big old chat on what's not been working for the Brit and whether we'll see him in an INEOS jersey again - could even end up privateering in cyclocross?? Lotte Kopecky bounces back from a stage 5 crash in the Simac Tour to show her domination of the women's peloton, We say goodbye to Christine Majerus in Holland and to the great Grace Brown in France as she bows out of cycling, with glory in the Chrono des Nations. Africa's road championships misses it's champion from the women's race, there's a spotlight on cyclocross for all the wrong reasons... and in the age old battle of Man v Horse, Tim de Clercq comes out on top.
