{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"The Dukes of Hazard","description":"Long-time regulars on The Cycling Podcast’s Giro d’Italia coverage, in this year’s edition Matt White and Max Sciandri are directing operations, together, from the front seat of the Movistar team car.\n\nAustralia and Italy, fire and ice, they make an intriguing duo, but can it be a successful one at this year’s Giro? We went behind the scenes on the day of their boldest tactical plan yet, on stage 4 of the Giro to Cosenza, to get a sense of how their partnership is galvanising the Spanish team at this year’s Giro. Daniel Friebe then summoned Matt and Max the following morning for a debrief and typically mirthful discussion of what they each bring to their roles.\n\nThe Cycling Podcast would like to thank Velon for their assistance in the making of this podcast.\n\nFollow us on social media:\nTwitter @cycling_podcast (https://twitter.com/cycling_podcast)\nInstagram @thecyclingpodcast\n (https://www.instagram.com/thecyclingpodcast/)\nFriends of the Podcast\nSign up as a Friend of the Podcast at thecyclingpodcast.com (http://thecyclingpodcast.com/) to listen to new special episodes every month plus a back catalogue of more than 300 exclusive episodes.\n\n2026 Girovagando selection:\nYou can buy this year’s Girovagando wine selection here: https://dvinecellars.com/products/cycling-podcast-giro-26.\nThe wines with corresponding stage numbers are as follows:\nStage 3: Mixtape Red, Georgiev & Milkov, Plovdiv (red)\nStage 4: Tenuta del Conte, Calabria Rosso, Calabria (red)\nStage 5: Vigneti del Vulture, Pipoli, Aglianico del Vulture, Basilicata (red)\nStage 10: Bianco 'il Terraio’ Paterna, Tuscany (white)\nStage 14: Les Crêtes Mon Blanc, Valle D’Aosta (white)\nStage 20: Braida Antica Blanc, Russolo, Friuli Venezia-Giulia (white)\n\nThe 11.01 Cappuccino\nOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.
