## Resource

Spencer Martin and Andrew Vontz discuss and debate whether the Giro d’Italia is still a top-tier race or due for a revamp, and break down who will win and what they expect to happen over the final week. They also go through the evolution of gravel racing and whether the discipline has drifted too far from its original form.
