0:00.0	Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcasts of the Khartoum de Dothane Stage 5,
0:03.7	the last sprint slash breakaway stage, transition stage before we get to the mountains this weekend.
0:08.9	Hot conditions. It was very hot yesterday in the time trial, I think 34, 35 degrees.
0:13.6	And another pretty long stage with this not 150K stages, another 183K stage, but the first 90 kilometers are flat.
0:22.6	No categorized climbs until a 1K 5% hill compared to the stage on stage 2 or 3,
0:29.9	which had a lot of climbs at the beginning.

1:03.5	go solo now it's just too early too far from the finish line not hard enough to necessarily
1:08.9	have the separation needed i don't necessarily see that climb as an attack point for someone here.
1:15.3	But a breakway was an option before today's stage because you look at the parkour and you
1:19.3	say, okay, quite hilly, can little trek control a breakway on this parkour?
1:23.2	Because on paper, the one team that wants a sprint is little trek.
1:27.2	Then you look at the situation when the race starts and we see a breakaway forming
1:32.2	and it's actually a relatively easy to control breakaway is what I'd classified as.
