In the latest SBS Cycling Podcast, hosts Christophe and Macka unpack the drama of Stage 17 of the Tour de France, where wet conditions led to a major crash that reshaped the day's race.

The duo also reflect on the physical toll from the previous Ventoux stage, adding further context to the riders' resilience. Looking ahead, Christophe and Macka shift focus to the crucial Stage 18, with jersey battles intensifying and high-stakes climbs on the horizon. They explore how breakaways and team strategies could shake up the standings, especially in the fight for the polka-dot and green jerseys. .

Del Toro claims stage 17 win and extends Giro lead

Isaac Del Toro of UAE Team Emirates-XRG maintained his excellent form at the Giro d'Italia to win stage 17 with a perfectly-timed sprint on Wednesday, with the Mexican's first stage victory helping him to extend his lead in the overall standings. The 155-km route from San Michele all'Adige to Bormio was less punishing than Tuesday's stage 16, but featured two difficult climbs in the shape of Passo del Tonale and Passo del Mortirolo, with a total of 3,800 metres of elevation. Del Toro was the freshest man at the end of the final ascent and he broke away from Romain Bardet (Picnic-PostNL) and rival Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) with just over two km left. Bardet crossed the line three seconds after Del Toro, with Carapaz in third. After a string of mountainous stages, Thursday's stage 18 will be a largely flat 144-km ride from Morbegno to Cesano Maderno.
