Andrea Vendrame the break from the breakaway to take his second ever stage win at the Giro d'Italia with stage 19. The finish on Seppada echoes the 1987 Giro and we rope in Chris Sidwells to tell the story of Stephen Roche & Roberto Visentini. Away from the Giro Sanny and Katy discuss Romain Bardet's interview in this week's Cycling Weekly and why he believes the sport needs fixing and he has a plan too. And we preview Stage 20 of the Giro d'Italia into its final weekend - will Pogacar win by his home country border?

The chillest of chill stages until the most chaotic of finishes as Tim Merlier takes it from Jonathan Milan in a sprint where neither looked like they'd win with 300m to go. Do you support a rider or a team? Sanny opens up that debate. We hear from some of you Stage 18 and look ahead to an exciting Stage 19. Plus there's a huge boost for cycling and racing in the UK as British Cycling announce a sponsorship with Lloyds which could stop UCI races disappearing from Britain.

A weird old stage with a wonderful finish for 22-year-old Georg Steinhauser for his first ever win as a professional cyclist. A briilliant day in the saddle for him across the beautiful adn thankfuly passable surroundings of the Dolomites. What exactly were DSM and the rest of the peloton playing at in supressing every attempted breakaway? And as Tadej Pogacar seemingly effortlessly pulled away from the rest of the chasing pack, what was Geriant Thomas thinking? RCS come out fighting and Giulio Pelilizzari controversially beats Nairo Quintana to honour Fausto Coppi. And we also hear from Ricci Pascoe as Britain's only Conti team win a stage in Japan! Sanny Rudravajhala, Katy Magdwick review Stage Seventeen of the Giro d'Italia, and preview Stage Eighteen - very sprinty!!!
