Ariana (?) is a great addition to the coverage this year. She appears to be more fluent in more languages than the gentleman who handled the post-race interviews last year when Alessandra began hosting Processo.

Several times in the past decade RAI IT also gave us Su Gira. That was great and I miss it. So we make do with the ‘cartolina’ Alessandra introduces before Francesco and Davide take over. Su Gira provided nice coverage of the towns and a festive atmosphere.

This year we rarely see a Cassani pre-stage video recon and haven’t seen a Francesco and Davide re-cap. I remember when they had a meterologist and race physician on every day, too. I do realize that Processo sometimes continues on another channel (RAI Tre?) and RAI IT doesn’t switch over.

In any case, I’m glad RAI IT continues to carry the Giro even though they got rid of coverage of many other races, T-A, Emilia, Nationals, Liberazione, MSR, Pantani, those races in August, etc.
