GIRO D'ITALIA 2025 - SIMON YATES WINS! But... did UAE abandon del Toro, or did he throw it away?! Stages 16-21!

Just when you thought the Brits couldn't do it on the continent, the whole of Europe says 'What the hell just happened?!' Simon Yates wins the Giro d'Italia 2025 - come on, did anyone call this...? Ok maybe one person on BlueSky - you know who you are! Sanny and Katy reconvene to reflect on the final week of the Giro, focussing on the madness up the Colle Delle Finestre. Sanny has several theories about what happened with Isaac del Toro - did his battle with Ayuso lead to a hangover between him and the team?! Was Carapaz right to not work with the young Mexican and the man who couldn't sound any less like he's from Bury if he tried, finally cracks emotionally, as he cracks the rest of his GC competitors by riding away up the climb that had defined his own career when he lost the Giro to Chris Froome back in 2018. Tears after the finish line, a very muddled accent in the interviews and what work from Wout van Aert to get him there. Redemption all round.

And hey, please give us a 5* review wherever you listen to us. Any words will do if you can - Five Stars will help more cycling fans find us and mean we can make more episodes! Thanks!
