How many stages will UAE Team Emirates win in the second week? - Domestique Cycling Podcast

Jonas Vingegaard finally laid down his marker on the Blockhaus, with Felix Gall the only rider who came close to following him and Giulio Pellizzari paying the price for going too deep, too early. We make the case for Eulálio as a genuine third-place podium contender, and discuss why Jai Hindley might be the one rider who can stop him.

We also dig into the power data from Velon. Vingegaard's three-minute attack on Blockhaus, Paul Magnier's standing-start sprint in Naples, and Giulio Ciccone's stage 9 attack. We also explain why Davide Piganzoli is the most impressive Visma support rider you have probably never heard of.

Then we look ahead to a brutal second week. A 42-kilometre time trial from Viareggio to Massa on Tuesday that should give Vingegaard the pink jersey. A row of stages where Lidl-Trek and Soudal Quick-Step will fight for sprint wins. And then Pila on Saturday, 16.6 kilometres at 7.1%, where Gall could realistically take the fight back to Vingegaard.
