Summary
Rumours are that the delay in publishing this was caused by Lanterne's embarrassment regarding the terrible performance of his velogames team, others say that Benji Naesen has been channelling the spirit of Fortunato for his Eolo-Kometa PCM series since his Zoncolan win and has not been contactable since. All that we know is, Bernal won the Giro, got covid, visited the Pope with a special rim brake bike and here we are rounding out the Giro d'Italia 2021 a few days before the Tour de France.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nice, and this show is supported by LeCole. |
| 0:05.0 | You might have thought, oh, preparing for the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, that's all in the past. |
| 0:11.0 | You're so late to this guys. Well, that's where you're wrong, actually. |
| 0:14.0 | We were waiting for Egan Bernal to receive his people blessing. |
| 0:18.0 | He did so yesterday, and now we can safely proceed with our Giro recap. |
| 0:23.0 | We're not going to do a stage by stage recap. |
| 0:25.0 | We're basically going to cheat, and Giro d'Italia put up on Instagram, a list of eight things, nine categories, whatever. |
| 0:35.0 | We're going to go through and answer things like the best attack, the best team spirit, the most spectacular stage, et cetera. |
| 0:43.0 | We'll also talk about Egan Bernal going to the World Tour of Spain, coming out of how we went at Giro, |
| 0:50.0 | as well as what we expect from maybe Egan based on his Giro d'Italia experience. |
| 0:55.0 | How have you been going? You've been keeping busy with... |
| 0:58.0 | Well, speaking of a guy who won a stage, Fortunato, you've been doing a Yolo Cometa series on YouTube. |
| 1:04.0 | Yes, certainly. I've really enjoyed the last couple of days, but I did miss our moments on the podcast in the evening. |
| 1:11.0 | So I'm glad that it's back. |
| 1:13.0 | But in terms of the PCM series, so my channel I've got a series where I take control of the Yolo Cometa, |
| 1:19.0 | and the goal was to across multiple years build out the team and try win the Giro in the fias, |
| 1:25.0 | and that is in-game years, not real-life years, because I'm not going to be playing that in three years anymore. |
| 1:31.0 | But it's going pretty well. I'm having fun with it, and Yolo Cometa themselves are playing into it, waiting like, |
| 1:37.0 | writing videos and so forth for it, so it's all awesome to see. |
| 1:40.0 | And Fortunato won yesterday on Monte Grappa, so he's showing himself in real-life as well. |
| 1:46.0 | Yeah, speaking of Monte Grappa, nice segue into our show partner, Le Col. |
| 1:51.0 | Le Col, and this timing wasn't, I think they were supposed to release this kit during the Giro, |
