Stage 11 | Florence to Bagno di Romagna | Giro d’Italia 2017

This episode of The Cycling Podcast evaluates an aggressive, unpredictable day when the pink jersey, Tom Dumoulin, and his Sunweb team could not relax for a moment.

The stage was won in memorable style by Spaniard Omar Fraile of Dimension Data after a long breakaway and a brilliant tactical move in the final kilometres.

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss stage 11 from near Florence, birthplace of the Italian legend Gino Bartali, to Bagno di Romagna. We hear from Vincenzo Nibali, Thibaut Pinot and Geraint Thomas about their fortunes. We also speak to Laurens Ten Dam, who is going to be a vital ally to his team-mate Dumoulin as the race goes on.
