S14 Ep66: Stage 8 | Rivoli to Sestriere | Giro d’Italia Women 2026

Bow down before your queen! Yes indeed, it’s time for the queen stage at the Giro d’Italia Women on a route that was due to take in the Colle delle Finestre and end in Sestriere, however best laid plans went a bit frosty and chaos ensued. Join Rebecca Charlton and Lizzy Banks as they take a closer look at all the happenings of Stage 8, where it was all drama, a sheet of ice and a makeshift finish line. 

We also hear from Dani Rowe MBE from the top of a mountain, and Marlen Reusser drops in for a chat.

Don’t forget to listen in all week as The Cycling Podcast Féminin brings you daily coverage from the race.

We hear all the ‘what if?’ theories ahead of the final stage and also on the agenda is our angel of cheese, Denny Gray. Will he have deviated from the mainstream? Tune in to find out.
