The Cycling Podcast
The Cycling Podcast takes listeners to the heart of professional cycling with weekly episodes and daily coverage of the Grand Tours.
Founded by Richard Moore, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie in 2013, The Cycling Podcast is one of the longest-running independent sports podcasts.
Description
The 2022 edition of the Giro d'Italia finishes in Verona – just as the 1984 edition did, and it is that race which has long fascinated Lionel Birnie. It took place towards the end of the second great era of rivalry in Italian cycling. Francesco Moser was heading towards the end of his career and had yet to win the Giro. Time was running out but all of Italy was willing him to do it, including the race director Vincenzo Torriani.
This episode tells the story of the 1984 Giro and features the journalist Herbie Sykes, author of Giro 100, but it also explains the city of Verona and its place in Italy through the eyes of another writer, Tim Parks, who in the 1990s spent a season discovering Italy while watching Hellas Verona home and away.
