<div>It’ll soon be safe to go back in the water – which is good news for Lionel after he lost his sunglasses to the Strait of Messina while recording this episode of The Cycling Podcast from Scilla.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Lionel joins Daniel Friebe to discuss stage five which, as expected, went the way of the sprinters – although it wasn’t without drama along the way.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>The Giro d’Italia lost one superhero in powder blue yesterday when Miguel Angel Lopez pulled out of the race and another Astana man announced his impending retirement, which will leave a shark-shaped hole in Italian cycling. Vincenzo Nibali, twice a winner of the Giro, arrived in his home town of Messina and announced his plan to retire at the end of the season.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>We hear from Ciro Scognamiglio about that, we unpick Jumbo-Visma’s disappointing day on Etna yesterday with their sports director Addy Engels and ask if Richie Porte is right – is Romain Bardet a great outside bet for this Giro?
