Description
This week Matt speaks to BRENDAN GALLAGHER about his book celebrating the 100th staging of the Giro D'Italia CORSA ROSA. We look at how, like the Tour de France, this was a race started by a newspaper circulation war, the one and only woman to compete in the Giro, the rider who was paid NOT to take part and then latterly the doping problems that dogged the race in the San Remo affair and Marco Pantani.
