Plato's Apology

1976 Giro Quick Facts:

4161 km raced at an average speed of 34.683 km/hr

120 starters and 86 classified finishers

This was Eddy Merckx's last Giro.

Johan de Muynck would probably have won the 1976 Giro, but complex politics within his Brooklyn team deprived him of support.

A crash while descending a mountain in the 21st stage left de Muynck unable to defend his slim lead in the final time trial.

Felice Gimondi, enjoying a renaissance late in his career, had been staying close to de Muynck.

With a good ride in the time trial, he won his third Giro.

Plato's Apology with an introduction, telling who Socrates was and how he came to be on trial for his life before his fellow Athenians is available as an audiobook here.
