| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge cycling podcast with Benji Niston. We're doing the Bahrain |
| 0:07.2 | Victoria's 2021 preview today. The usual structure for this team preview starting with a |
| 0:12.7 | brief review of their 2020 season. We'll talk about their transfers in and out for this season. |
| 0:17.2 | Maybe some odds and ends about what's happened with the team. Are you the name change and some |
| 0:21.1 | sponsor changeovers? And then I think we'll select monument teams and grand tour teams or who we |
| 0:28.2 | have as the leaders to those various races. Is there any other things we normally speak about Benji? |
| 0:33.3 | Not necessarily but I think it's the first time that we're going to be talking about the horse |
| 0:36.9 | of the person who is investing into the team but I will come later with the name change. |
| 0:41.6 | I'll talk about it now that so the Victoria's people are trying to figure out. I was looking |
| 0:45.2 | it up. I was like is this a Bahrain? Is it an oil company? Is it what sort of company is this? |
| 0:50.2 | But apparently the team owner owns a horse called Victoria's. I tried to look it up. I don't know |
| 0:55.0 | where the horse races but yeah that's that's the name and I guess he is one. He is one to really |
| 1:01.0 | emphasize that it's about winning cycling. So he's named the team Victoria. So I mean that will |
| 1:07.4 | play nicely. I've got some puns ready. I'm sure Benji's got some very cringe puns ready when |
| 1:12.4 | a Bahrain rider wins a race for us to use this title of the YouTube video for that podcast. |
| 1:18.2 | Yes. But they're 2020 season Benji. Nine wins to a world two level. The rest |
| 1:25.9 | not big races at all. And before I let you talk about your thoughts on their season quickly but |
| 1:32.4 | just looking at the class of the race can be really mentally eating sometimes like |
| 1:36.5 | pre-banchi pale and Kerna, Brent Benji. Isn't Kerna not a world two race? |
| 1:42.1 | Kerna is not a world two race. It's one of the top one that pro races I'd say now. |
| 1:46.0 | But it is a pro race but they're not all created equally. So there are some races like that. I'll |
| 1:52.0 | classify Kerna as a big race and bigger certainly than winning a stage at Tour de Polonia. I think |
