| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for our weekly show brought to you by |
| 0:04.0 | Join Cycling. |
| 0:05.0 | The season has finished. |
| 0:06.9 | No more UCI races in the 2025 calendar. |
| 0:10.1 | I don't think, at least not the ones that the world teams will be doing. |
| 0:13.5 | We've got a quick recap today of the last races in China, Holland and in northern Italy, as well as a long section on UCR World Tool |
| 0:25.4 | Licenses. |
| 0:26.6 | We have the teams that have applied. |
| 0:28.3 | We've got teams relegated, teams merging. |
| 0:31.9 | So a lot teams surprisingly not getting their paperwork in time which can have pretty serious |

| 1:16.5 | being my partner in this journey. But stop the cringe shit. Let's get into the races, Patrick. |
| 1:21.9 | Let's get into the races. Tour of Guangji, best race of the year, and especially because when I look at the exact |
| 1:30.0 | results of this race, the first five stages have the exact same stage winners as a Tour |
| 1:36.3 | of Slovakia. |
| 1:37.5 | So I think that defines quality start list, right? |
| 1:41.8 | Or the Tour of Slovakia was very, very good race and a better start list than it appears. |
| 1:48.3 | Also, the same rider in fifth on the Queen stage as both those races, I believe. |
