00:00It's all a smile for him. Couldn't quite believe it.

00:13Yeah, waiting for this big moment.

00:22Just closes his eyes briefly there to take it all in and Carlos Verona steps out onto the podium

00:27in front of a big big crowd here at Asiago as a grand tour stage winner at last. He actually

00:34finished in second place on the stage of the Vuelta a few years ago. I say a few years ago,

00:38it's four years ago and that's as close as he's ever come. But he dominated that. That wasn't even

00:43close. Yeah, there was no doubt that he was the strongest among the riders on the breakaway and

00:50he wrote perfection today. So chapeau to him. One of my favorite quotes from that lovely

00:55interview he just gave us was, I'm actually rather slow. I'm not very fast, he said.

01:01I think he meant in a sprint. Yeah, that's what he meant, definitely.

01:04He had to get clear of everyone and boy, did he get clear of everyone.

01:10Think of the riders he held off. Filippo Zana, a former stage winner at the Giro d'Italia,

01:15former national champion and one of the most promising names

01:18in there's a young rider in Italian cycling at the moment, Giancarlo Garofoli. She gets soaked with

01:25the sparkling wine as well. That's going to taste very good.

01:39The bottle being handed down.

01:51Taken back to the hotel.

01:57Souvenirs of the day, really.

02:00Absolutely fantastic memories banked here by Carlos Weronov.

02:03All right, well deserved. So once again, Little Trek on the first one appearing at the ceremony as

02:15they get the sixth victory of this Giro d'Italia out of 15 stages.

02:18Absolutely dominating the prize fund as well on Little Trek. They're winning so much prize money.

02:23It's going to be, it's going to be changed the classification of pricing money just at the very

02:30hand thanks to the GC. But so far, some of the mechanics will retire at the end of the race.

02:40Fantastic performance from Carlos Weronov and what a race they're having.

02:47Easing up as he crossed the line and Florian Stork from Tudor Pro Cycling, that's their pretty much

03:04their best result of the Giro so far. Second place on their stage. We didn't see the moment where he

03:08attacked, but he obviously went long and held off a one second advantage over the sprint for third

03:15place that was one usefully for Astana in their hunt for UCI points by their rider Christian Scaroni,

03:22who's having a good 2025 and a third place on that stage at the Giro d'Italia helps their cause enormously.

03:31I don't know whether to call today a missed chance for as the tortoise stand the lead. Okay,

03:37it would have been just bonuses. So I don't know if it's a very scenic way of riding UAE team Emirates,

03:43but it could have been a good day for a stage victory for Isaac del Toro. But if, but it looks

03:50of it, I think next week you're going to have plenty of choices. I think he's going to win a stage before

03:55the end. It's very likely to happen, you know, if not as certain as taxes. He looks, on the evidence of what we

04:04saw today. He looks frankly in a, in a, in a slightly different league from everybody else.

04:10I mean, it remains to be seen. It's a long way still. And we talk about the third week for good

04:14reason because the Giro d'Italia has a, a long tradition of upsetting everything in the third

04:19week. It happens often at the Giro d'Italia. Yeah. The only like, um, unpredictable thing that we could

04:25feel, uh, expect from Isaac del Toro is that, uh, uh, there, there weren't many, uh, climbs so far in

04:33this Giro d'Italia, but it seems like the other riders were feeling even those little climbs,

04:40while, uh, he definitely didn't. Let's see. Colette picks everything once again, and ciao.

04:48He's going to come back in about a few minutes for the white jersey as well.

04:57But definitely he goes on this for the second rest day with the Maglia Rosa as he took it

05:05in Siena, which seems like ages ago, but in fact, it was, uh, just a week ago.

05:12He is riding like a grand tour champion, isn't he? He's being economical. He's being very,

05:16he's being, despite his obvious talent and his, if he wanted to, you would imagine he would have

05:22won stages by now, but, uh, he's just keeping his powder dry in the knowledge that, uh, when he

05:27deploys them, he's going to have to really make it count. Yeah. It seems like to me, um, um, that he

05:33just was more stopping and preventing the other to go clear rather than try to get himself, uh, in a

05:40possibility or in a position to get a victory. But he leads Primoz Roglic by almost four minutes now,

05:46and Primoz Roglic drops down to 10th place. Still a shorter GC, uh, classification,

05:53but this is going to change and by a lot in the next week. Yep. I'm already knowing that some of my

06:00rest day preparation, I'm going to have to start looking through the road book and actually totting

06:05up the amount of points that could go to the general classification and whether or not Lorenzo

06:10Fortunato soon, even on Tuesday, could be in a, uh, potentially King of the mountains winning

06:16position. Plenty of points available still, but, uh, you have to figure out which, which of them will go

06:20to the breakaway and which will go to the GC and how many more he might need to bank before it's done.

06:26And I reckon he's pretty close now. Yeah. Uh, but for now he can enjoy another day in Jersey.

06:33It's going to go also in the next, uh, rest day with this Jersey. It's good day for Astana really, isn't it?

06:39Third place for Christian Scaroni on the stage. Hatfuls of UCI points for that. And this man's, uh, grip

06:45on the King of the mountains Jersey tightening with every passing stage. He did race, uh, very good

06:51today. Uh, very smart. I will say he just spent energy on basically on the climb of Monte Grappa.

06:58Yep. And then he is, uh, call it the day. So, so far so good for Fortunato.

07:05Could benefit also from presence of a little bit embarrassed girlfriend.

07:15He's delivering the goods for Astana is Lorenzo Fortunato.

07:23The team is still, uh, still missing the victory, but, uh, they're not far today. They were present

07:28with four guys, uh, four riders in the first group, uh, but he was, uh, not a good day for,

07:34or not a good break for the GC as they all got back together, uh, at the, the very end of, uh,

07:42Monte Grappa and then, uh, reopening up with, uh, another breakaway of 11 riders containing the winner

07:49of today, uh, Carlos Verona.

07:51There we are. His lead is now, what is it? 143.

08:01Is that right? Yes, that is right. 143. He leads over Juan Ayuso.

08:06It's a big one. Manuoli Tarotti is the only non-GC rider, even in, uh, even in, well,

08:11he's not even in touching distance, so it's a big, big lead.

08:17Now back with, uh, Maglia Bianca, the white jersey of the best young rider.

08:23We're doing the jersey slightly out of order today, aren't we? Because, uh,

08:26Maz Pedersen would normally have been the second jersey in the Manuoli Ciclimino.

08:29Yeah, but he has yet to cross the line. So I wonder if we're going to see it or not,

08:33the ceremony. There's going to be some time for interview, definitely.

08:50Just a few signs today that his nearest rival in the general classification and indeed in the

09:05white jersey competition, his teammate. So I don't know if we can call him a rival at all.

09:09Juan Ayuso was a little bit uncomfortable. I think it was certainly a moment that was

09:14spotted by Simon Yates, uh, who sees, I think the battle for second place. If he's,

09:23if he's got ambitions on first, I don't know, but Simon Yates, uh, wants to shore up his position

09:27in second place. And I think he spotted a momentary weakness from Juan Ayuso, which prompted him to

09:31attack. Yeah, we've seen a little bit of a grim on the face of Ayuso and, uh, thing we felt to spot,

09:40to see on the face of Isaac Dettolo so far. It seems like he never really was in pain,

09:45except probably just for the finish line in Siena.

09:51Well, that's, uh, it's one of my favorite parts of the day, actually, hearing every day as we do from

09:55the ebullient.
