Welcome back to Atlanta and Rouge cycling podcast. Maybe our earliest ever

stream or recording of the podcast three three 10 in the afternoon, 1510 in Benji's hours.

Well, long gone wall championships was pretty early.

True. Yeah, I mean, if you can't go anywhere, we're in Australia or you had to cover Australia,

it does a little bit different. But we have the first proper mountain stage of the

crypto dream to do for me. We had a heavy favorite to win the stage. Actually,

he was at longer than I expected. I was like, really? Because I know there's reason for that.

Because if the breakaway wins, of course, we can't win. It's up, but it's 150k stage. And

the organizers have designed this stage in such a way that it makes it so likely for GC to win

from Paul to Savoy to codler crowd of fair. And that's because of this 50k pancake flat valley

to start. So what? Unless, like Nielsen Powell, as he mentioned this in the Netflix.co,

you know, he's 70 kgs, maybe 67 kgs, classic sky. He can get into break on the flat. But the pure

climber's struggle. So that suits release. Then you have the cold lump Madeline, 25 kgs,

6% in steps as steeper sections descent valley. Then the cold to malad, this is where coverage started

in the valley before there, 18 kgs, five and a half percent. But steeper in the first 12 kgs,

short descent. And then they have the codler crowd of fair, which is in two parts. The first part

is false flat 30 to 40 kg, four percent, three percent type operation. And then it gets steep.

The final ramp from Sunswell-Londalf is six and a half ks, 8.2%. So do you agree, Benji,

that the organisers design this in such a way to make sure at the GC group or someone from that

group won the stage? Yes, certainly, because also the length of the stage, the 150 km makes it so

that a team like Yumbo, they only really have to control the initial section towards the first

climb. And then someone will probably start basing. Then Anata Van Hoidon could probably start
