Giro d'Italia Stage 18 LIVE

Melide - Verbania 170 km

This is an odd one with a potentially complicated finish. A massively hard climb and a technical descent to the finish.

Name picked out of a Hat of the Day: Ryder Hesjedal
Try try and try again, persistence wins in the end. (More likely: "lesson is, never try").

Amy's Food & Wine

Wine: Castello di Neive Grignolino
I love these Northern reds. Flowers and red fruits. This is one to drink again soon.

Food: La Tur:
a dense, creamy blend of pasteurized cow, goat and sheep milk. Runny and oozing around the perimeter with a moist, cakey, palette-coating paste, its flavor is earthy and full.
