Intro

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss today's stage of the Giro d'Italia, which Jayco-AlUla's Luke Plapp won with a long-range breakaway and saw Primož Roglič intentionally cede the race lead to XDS-Astana's Diego Ulissi. They discuss Plapp's impressive win, what this means for his career in the future, and what to make of UAE and Ayuso's aggressive riding during the stage, before previewing Sunday's critical Stage 9, which takes the peloton over the white gravel roads of Tuscany to finish in the Piazza del Campo. They predict who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.
