S10 Ep32: Stage 2 | Budapest – Budapest | Giro d’Italia 2022

The shortest stage of the 2022 Giro d’Italia promised to also be one of the most significant - the first of just two time trials in this year’s Corsa Rosa and a truth serum for the many pretenders to the maglia rosa. In the latest installment of our post-stage Girovagando podcasts, we hear about a time trial result that few predicted but perhaps should have anticipated. We also discuss the other winners and losers of a stage before which Mathieu van der Poel held a slender lead on general classification. 
There are interviews with Bun Tulett, Rod Ellingworth and Richie Porte of Ineos Grenadiers, Matteo Sobrero and Damian Howson of Team BikeExchange, and, once again, the hometown hero Attila Valter. And we provide an update on the already mythical ‘Quest for the Stuffed Cabbage’.
