Julian Alaphilippe WINS!!! He was written off, has been criticised and talked about in the past tense BUT the Frenchman takes on the peloton and the chase groups and wins Stage 12 of the Giro d'Italia. Sanny Rudravajhala, Katy Madgwick and ex-pro Jens Dekker review a furious race that had everything, including the Hollywood finish. We also salute Mirco Maestri and his work in the two-man break with Alaphilippe and cover off everything else in the stage with the help of a host of friends too. No change at the top of the GC - Tadej Pogacar is rumoured to have cold if that's anything to come by?! Plus we look ahead to a VERY flat Stage 13 at the Giro.

Valentin Paret-Peintre steps out of his brother's slimline shadow for a first career win and on the biggest stage of all, a Grand Tour! It was a day for the breakaway and it's Romain Bardet who's thinking what next forhis tour. As a curious case of sprinter-only bigs spreads across the peloton, we also look at the battle for the young riders' GC and reflect on Tadej Pogacar's day in the saddle. There's a scary moment with a dog and a surly moment with some college sixth formers masquerading a professional cyclists. Sanny Rudravajhala and Katy Magdwick review Stage Ten of the Giro d'Italia, and preview Stage Eleven, which will almost certainly be a sprinty affair. #giroditalia
