Social Club | Crosswind specialist Luke Plapp

Luke Plapp calls in fresh off a third place finish at the Tour de
Hungary — long travel, wet roads, and a GC that got away thanks
to a cancelled stage and 50km/h crosswinds. We break down the
drama of stage four, the cinema of stage five, and what Cosnefroy
bonus second dominance.


Then it's a full Giro d'Italia wrap through stage nine — Narvaez
back to winning ways, the Arrieta and Afonso cobblestone chaos,
Felix Gall's blockhouse charge, Ciccone in pink, and why
Jumbo-Visma look completely dialled in. Plus the transfer rumour
mill is spinning — Hindley to Visma, Turner to Soudal, Frigo to
UAE and more.


Maxi's top five this week? The most overrated things in cycling
as a spectator — from "racing on instinct" to neutralised starts,
the most combative rider award, and watts per kilo obsession.
