S9 Ep57: Kilometre 0 – La Prima Donna

The Cycling Podcast ·

2021/05/17

In Italian, unlike in English, ‘prima donna’ is certainly no insult, meaning literally ‘first woman’ or first female voice in a company of singers. If the Giro often resembles an opera, though, only this year has the chorus of race narrators acquired such a figure - at least on Italian television. Giada Borgato was a professional rider & Italian champion herself but has traded the peloton for the commentary box, where this year she is making history as Italian state broadcaster Rai’s first lead

The start of stage three of the Giro d'Italia in Biella will be a homecoming for one individual with an awe-inspiring palmarès and huge influence in professional cycling. Giuseppe Acquadro is the town‘s prodigal son – and he is an agent, not a rider. In fact, some have called the man whose client portfolio includes Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana and Richard Carapaz cycling‘s first ‘super-agent’. But much about Acquadro remains largely unknown – his background, his methods, the relationships that he

The first grand tour of the season, the Giro d'Italia, is just around the corner so I wanted to speak to Dr Kevin Sprouse about his role as a team doctor at one of the great stage races.
