## Resource

Technically yet again it’s not a rest day; the Giro d’Italia 2026 has just been won. As the dust settles on Rome, Matt Stephens reflects on the final week of racing from behind the scenes at the Breakaway studio for TNT Sports / HBO Max Studio. Expect opinions, views and points of view throughout the final six stages, before Matt shares his thoughts on this year’s Giro on the whole, and looks forward to the prospect of a mouthwatering Tour de France showdown between a rampant Jonas Vingegaard and perhaps the only man who can beat him; Tadej Pogacar. www.sigmasports.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
