Join Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill in Tuscany as they explore the white roads of Strade Bianche.
\\n
\\nAt the start in Siena Lionel meets Ciro Scognamiglio of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Brent Copeland of Bike Exchange and the \'SuperTuscan\' Max Sciandri of Movistar. Then it\'s out on the course to see what they can see through the white dust. The Pogi Club fans were optimistic their man could launch a long-range solo move and back in the Piazza del Campo we hear from Groupama-FDJ\'s Lewis Askey, who was on Julian Alaphilippe\'s wheel when \'the crash\' happened.
