Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for the Criterim de Dothane stage 5.

Probably if we're already five stages in Cormorange, so I'm going to

Salatleba, 191 kilometers. This is how this race develops. It goes from the sort of sprint stages,

hilly stages, a TT, and now a medium mountain puncher fest. But it could even be harder than that,

because the first 90k is flat. That makes it difficult for a really punchy break to maybe make it,

because of, or form, then 4k is 4%, bridge line, descent at the finish line, then two climbs of

a note. The code, I don't know how to say ivory in French, the ivory hill 2.2k is 5.7%,

a category three with steeper sections in the last little bit, then a rolling bridge line,

not much flat at all, to be honest, for the code de taise. 3.7k is 8.2%, but the first two kilometers

also are about 10% average. It's not just a run up and punch for three minutes. It's a 9-10

minute climb at steep gradient before, again, a false summit, and then it ascends mostly pettling

to the finish, not really much flat to the finish after that climb either. So a very interesting

stage design, offering something for a breakway, for a puncher, and maybe even a GC contender,

if they have fantastic legs to go on the attack. But you called him to go on the brake

Benji yesterday, and he got in at one of these riders. I think you're talking about Thomas

DeHend, because he was in the breakway. We said that Lotto Sudal should put someone in the

breakway just in case von Hils wants to go for the stage, then they don't have to chase

the breakway the entire day. Now von Hils actually abandoned the early on in the stage,

unfortunately, because he was feeling ill the last couple of days, so that's unfortunate.

Despite good results while feeling ill, so that guy's got a future, that's for certain.

Anyway, to get it with DeHend in the breakway, Boson Hagen, Nils Polet, Gregor, Zimmermann,

and Heinzgen. If you look at these riders, at least half of those are rulers, and that's what you
