Today we had a second sprint stage--a chance for redemption for the teams who got caught up in the hectic finale a couple days ago. It also a chance to talk about the persistent heat, and failures of the race to protect the riders, and Remco, who continues to embarrass himself in the press.Thanks to Fitnexa for sponsoring! http://go.fitnexa.com/yYhufp code PHILSENTME to save an additional $10Support the show: https://patreon.com/PhilGaimon?utm_medium= Support City of Hope in their fight against cancer: https://ourhope.cityofhope.org/PhilListen on audio: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2203430/Video: https://www.youtube.com/philgaimonshow

The Dauphine is renamed (again) but the Tour Auvergne Rhone-Alpes was full of twists and turns and a great bike race! 

A great Giro d’Italia finished up in Rome. Here’s my commentary, explanations, and analysisAudio version: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2203430/ My blog (free Substack or patreon) https://substack.com/@philgaimon  / philgaimon  Ride with me at Phil's Fondo in Malibu, CA: https://www.philsfondo.com/ Or my Gravel Event April in Lone Pine, CA: www.whiskeytangofondo.comhttps://www.statebicycle.com/collections/state-bicycle-co-carbon-road-bike

The Giro is has officially heated up! Takes on the GC situation (why is Jonas racing so defensively?), leadership questions on Ineos and Trek, and blame game with course safety vs rider recklessness.
