Relive some of the highlights of the first Grand Tour of the season, the Giro d’Italia, with this compilation of some of our best moments from Italy in May. Daniel Friebe and Brian Nygaard were your guides, Tadej Pogačar the race winner and dominator. Along the way, an eclectic cast of characters also made memorable contributions - from Ciro Scognamiglio to Larry Warbasse, a professional truffle to Carlo Ancelotti’s childhood best friend.
