Live from the Giro: The Pope, perfection and a historic finale
Rachel Jary and Chris Marshall-Bell take you inside a weekend in which against the odds Simon Yates completed the most remarkable of redemption stories, winning the maglia rosa on the Colle delle Finestre, the same mountain where he so heartbreakingly lost pink seven years ago. Rachel also spoke to some of the most exhausted riders in Rome, found out after-party plans and had a chinwag with some Mexican Isaac del Toro fans.Follow Rachel on Instagram: @racheljaryFollow Chris on Instagram: @cmbreportsSupport Rouleur by subscribing: rouleur.cc/subscribe Hosted on Acast.

Live from the Giro: Mads-ness, mountains and Monster
Rachel Jary goes inside the Lidl-Trek team car on a chaotic breakaway day – she discovered Mads Pedersen's favourite fuel, tried to understand the politics of the peloton and there were moments where she feared she may never make it to the stage finish in Bormio. She also got an insight on the best gastronomy the Trentino region has to offer from some local riders, found out what makes Richard Carapaz a fan favourite and spoke to Sam Bennett about why the sprinters are absolutely dreading the final mountain stages coming up. Spoiler alert: it isn't much fun in the gruppetto.Follow Rachel on Instagram: @racheljaryFollow Chris on Instagram: @cmbreportsSupport Rouleur by subscribing: rouleur.cc/subscribe Hosted on Acast.

Josie is an ex-professional skateboarder who has switched to bike racing in the past season and she's already taking the gravel world by storm.
