Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nice and this is a pod

Benji and I have been waiting for for a very long time and making sure we prepared

properly for our 2020 seasons awards podcast and you know this is starting small now

but eventually maybe even now in fact this is going to become the most important award

in the whole of Pro Cycling.

At least that's what I think our opinion on who was the best in certain categories

and just to introduce how this is going to work we have all seven categories all around

best rider, sprinter, climber, puncture, puncture meaning races like Fleshwellon, Leiege,

Pungy Climes etc, flandrian which is also like a cobbler, best cobbled classics rider,

Domestique which is self evident and best under 23 rider and best team actually we added

that category at the end.

So we've got all those categories men and women who do all of those going to do our top

three in each discipline or category and just to be clear how this works this is who

we think or this is how I look at it who was the best rider in this discipline in 2020

which I think is not necessarily meaning who got the best results but who was the best

rider in that discipline in 2020 it also doesn't mean who we think is going to be the

best at this discipline going forward into the future which is obviously things like

injuries, team strength, bad luck, race decisions that can be improved youth improvement

can all affect things like that of you jeet up for this Benji I'm keen to actually get

into some Samajibarji and an argument with you about some of these.

Ooh that's going to be interesting I feel like I'm pretty hyped about it to be honest

it's been a few days since we recorded our last spot yost and it's not as being back
