'Scuse the interuption, but what is "giro" in this context? I assume
it's nothing to do with DSS benefit cheques, or autogyro aircraft, which
are the only places I've ever encountered the term.

The Giro d'Italia, or tour of Italy. One of the big bike races of the
world. It's on at the moment, but doesn't get much coverage on
mainstream media. Its been pretty good this year. Thanks to the French,
Italians and Spanish having different names for tour in their language
you get the Tour, Giro and Vuelta respectively.
