S10 Ep54: Stage 16 | Salò – Aprica | Giro d’Italia 2022

By The Cycling Podcast

The Giro made its way towards Aprica for what many have dubbed this year’s Queen Stage. Having set out from the western shore of Lake Garda, the peloton would scale the Mortirolo and the Valico di Santa Cristina – to name just two of the climbs on today’s route – before finishing in Aprica, the scene of many a famous Giro exploit. 
We hear from Valerio Piva, who helped steer Jan Hirt to a surprise stage win, and Pavel Sivakov, who helped steer Richard Carapaz through a stage that solidified his position in the maglia rosa. There’s also talk of citrons, Sforzato, pizzoccheri and – again – of local hero the Trout of Gavardo.
