Summary
We continue our Tour Divide coverage with an interview from this years 2nd and 3rd place finishers, Manu Cattrysse and Adrien Liechti. This year I drove to the finish line of the Tour Divide to meet with finishers and record some podcast with anyone who was willing. On last weeks episode I chatted with First Place finisher Sofiane Sehili. This weeks episode takes place at Jeff Sharps kitchen table in Hachita, NM the day after Manu and Adrien finished their Tour Divide.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, sports fans and welcome back to the Bikes or Death podcast. |
| 0:04.8 | My name is Patrick and I'll be your host today. |
| 0:07.8 | And on today's episode, we have got Tour Divide, second and third place finishers. |
| 0:14.9 | I am chatting with Manu Katrice and Adrian Leekhti. |
| 0:21.5 | And I hope that I got their names right. |
| 0:24.1 | I asked them to send me audio files on how to pronounce their names. |
| 0:29.3 | And I got them on Instagram. |
| 0:30.8 | But I guess after you listen to them, they expire. |

| 1:05.5 | source all the stuff he needed. |

| 1:15.7 | almost beat Manu on his own bike. But it does mean that Manu is the first ever tortivide |
| 1:22.4 | finisher to have two bikes in the top three places. So that was a cool tie-in. |
| 1:29.0 | And again, |
| 1:29.6 | it is just so much fun to be able to sit down right after someone finishes the tour divide |
