Summary

This year, Matt Stephens is more nomadic than ever, as he presents his Rest Day Reflections podcast mini series from the TNT Sports / HBO Max Studio, in-store at Sigma Sports, and from the Giro d’Italia itself. In this episode, Matt looks back at stages 1-3 of the 2026 Giro d’Italia as it kicked off in Bulgaria. Exciting finishes, an almost untimely end for a Stockley Park duck, and of course those two horror crashes in stages 1 and 2 all feature. With cameos from Adam Blythe and Orla Chennoui, there are plenty of laughs along the way too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
