Tadej Pogacar writes his name into history and takes the eternal trophy in the eternal city. Tim Merlier matches Jonathan Milan's magic in taking the sprint stage with three wins. BUT who won the black jersey??? Sanny Rudravajhala and Katy Madgwick review the final stage of the Giro d'Italia for 2024 and get the great and the good of cycling for theirs too and whether Pogacar will take the Tour de France next...? #giroditalia

And Anna McEwen is back at the Ride London Classique where Lotte Kopecky underlines SD Worxx's dominance in taking the third and final stage.

We're in both Italy and London today as Tadej Pogacar is utterly brilliant up Monte Grappa to take Stage 20 and seal what's been the best Giro debut ever!!!! Sanny Rudravajhala and Katy Madgwick reflect on the brilliance of the Slovenian and cross to Emma Bianchi on the finish line up the mountain to get her thoughts too!! We reflect on the GC, Youth GC, what next for Geraint Thomas and again salute Giulio Pellizzari - a name you need to remember. We then jump over to the Ride London Classique where Anna McEwen catches up with Lotte Kopecky before she's beaten into third in Essex by the brilliance of Lorena Wiebes who claims her second stage of the three stage race.

Andrea Vendrame the break from the breakaway to take his second ever stage win at the Giro d'Italia with stage 19. The finish on Seppada echoes the 1987 Giro and we rope in Chris Sidwells to tell the story of Stephen Roche & Roberto Visentini. Away from the Giro Sanny and Katy discuss Romain Bardet's interview in this week's Cycling Weekly and why he believes the sport needs fixing and he has a plan too. And we preview Stage 20 of the Giro d'Italia into its final weekend - will Pogacar win by his home country border?

The chillest of chill stages until the most chaotic of finishes as Tim Merlier takes it from Jonathan Milan in a sprint where neither looked like they'd win with 300m to go. Do you support a rider or a team? Sanny opens up that debate. We hear from some of you Stage 18 and look ahead to an exciting Stage 19. Plus there's a huge boost for cycling and racing in the UK as British Cycling announce a sponsorship with Lloyds which could stop UCI races disappearing from Britain.

A weird old stage with a wonderful finish for 22-year-old Georg Steinhauser for his first ever win as a professional cyclist. A briilliant day in the saddle for him across the beautiful adn thankfuly passable surroundings of the Dolomites. What exactly were DSM and the rest of the peloton playing at in supressing every attempted breakaway? And as Tadej Pogacar seemingly effortlessly pulled away from the rest of the chasing pack, what was Geriant Thomas thinking? RCS come out fighting and Giulio Pelilizzari controversially beats Nairo Quintana to honour Fausto Coppi. And we also hear from Ricci Pascoe as Britain's only Conti team win a stage in Japan! Sanny Rudravajhala, Katy Magdwick review Stage Seventeen of the Giro d'Italia, and preview Stage Eighteen - very sprinty!!!

Where to even begin eh?! Riders refusing to ride, an unsafe route and starting at a random petrol station. It's all covered before Sanny and Katy talk about the actual stage with Tadej Pogacar claiming a fifth victory at the Giro d'Italia. There's a big discussion on how this situation could and should have been avoided and how organisers have to stakeholders happy but not at the risk of the riders. Katy salutes Giulio Pelilizzari as the 20-year-old takes second but keeps his own Maglia Rosa from Poggy and we figure out who is going to be left to claim La Maglia Nera, the black jersey for last place in the general classification.Sanny Rudravajhala, Katy Magdwick review Stage Sixteen of the Giro d'Italia, and preview Stage Seventeen and which bits could be cancelled

Did Pogacar go too hard? NO! He definitely didn't as he kicks with 14km to go to smash take the Queen Stage of the Giro d'Italia in emphatic style. As we talk Pogacar and the person who reported his Strava ride, we also reflect on Nairo Quintana's return to the peloton and the podium and Jenthe Biermans falling down a ravine but still beating the time cut. #giroditalia

Filippo Ganna wins the Time Trial, 29 seconds faster than Tadej Pogacar by Lake Garda. A win for the Italian at Stage 14 of the Giro d'Italia. Did Poggy go too hard and will that impact him on the Queen Stage tomorrow. Speaking of which, why is it called that and are there brooms in the broom wagon?

Cycling writers and broadcasters Lena Koch and Ana McEwen join Sanny Rudravajhala and cover Katy Madgwick to review the ITT at Stage 14 and preview Stage 15. Can anyone stop Pogacar?
