Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge cycling podcast with Benji Naisen sub-onsered supported by love coal they produce performance cycling apparel the best in the world they support this show and make it possible today stage six of the

term to the opening we should be recapping 167 case from L'Oreal so the room to this appeal shut clues pretty easy for the first

115 kilometers and they do the pole that I've set five case six and a half percent short descent in the cold the port 7.7

case at six and a half percent but I think like the first third of that climb it looks to me to be uncategorized Benji and it really

is a longer drag and climb it looks like to me like a the actual climbing they're doing is about 18 kilometers then descent quite technical bad road surface and some

works going on it and then a tricky finish they have two climbs today so I've separated it looks like one extended climb to

me the short descent and false flat in the middle and it's about six point seven eight case at about five percent

gradient the finish pretty flat three percent maybe less actually let's see if Alejandro Valverde can read the

road book unlike an LDM and Ospen Sado season two but we had a that a pretty good break Benji me and you

like Julian Bernard we think he's the guy who could win a grand tour stage in the right circumstance so I

do at least he was in there but who else was there so we got a pretty large breakaway quite

once again we've seen a lot of riders in this breakaway that have been on the attack the other days as well

like Matt Holmes as well a big turn was on a small attack I think yesterday and Cherney in the

breakaway like you said Bernard by Nabash Beyak Martin Salmon by the more back allons we've got Anthony

Perez Le Guc on Avramat so that's pretty strong in the breakaway and Goldstein and be sure so large

breakaway and I find it weird because due to the fact that the initial pace in this stage was so

intense first hour above 50k in our average which is pretty mad and the gap between the peloton on

the breakway was because of that because the peloton was riding at a decent pace staying relatively

low to 35 when the live TV was about to start with 50k to go but they were so fast that we didn't

see almost anything before to call the port happened and I'm really curious what happened before

hand because who based I don't get it I think it was Bora honoring the jersey was it Benji I don't

I don't know I mean I've checked I get the highlights pack and they might have some of that
