The untouchable Italian
Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) won in a stunning fashion on stage 15 of the Giro d’Italia. He attacked on the final climb to Cogne and left everyone behind with 18km to go. He ended up winning by over a minute. It was only the third-ever Giro stage win for Trek-Segafredo. A nice consolation after losing the maglia rosa to Ineos Grenadiers a day earlier. Richard Carapaz remains in the overall lead after his team controlled the peloton and didn’t allow any GC contenders to gain time.

Do it
If you’re wondering about taking up cycling, DO IT!
Cycling and the awesome cycling community has changed my life. Here is me 10 years apart. I was unfit, depressed and struggling. Now I’m breaking records, making positive changes and HAPPY!!! 💗 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth pic.twitter.com/U9azHGDe6Z— Louise Vardeman (loukew) (@lougloug) May 18, 2022

When you look on the TV schedule and see there’s no cycling today…
