0:00.0	I'm the M&M of podcasts. You're the M&M with helmet strap tan.
0:05.8	Hey there, folks. Welcome on back. I am your host. I am Ted King. And as always, welcome
0:10.9	to King of the Ride podcast. It's July. It's tour time. Yeah, yeah. It's World Cup soccer time,
0:19.0	too, if that's your thing. I did catch 23 mildly riveting
0:23.4	minutes of Belgians win over Brazil just this past weekend. I know come the World Cup final,
0:29.2	I'll watch some of that too, but quite frankly, all of my sports viewing this month comes
0:33.6	straight back to the tour. It's only three stages in, but holy moly, I think it's really
0:38.3	off to a great start. I don't want to get too cocky with my predictions. I'm very pleased to have
0:44.5	called two-thirds of the opening podium going with Gavirian Sagan, one and two. Sure, those are
0:51.2	two folks that you could probably pick on any sprint stage and come away with some
0:54.8	accuracy. But pleased with that, I'm also predicting that Marcel Kittle comes up with some more
1:02.2	results. He, of course, DNFed last year in the green jersey. He has a lot to prove both to himself
1:07.5	and to the Katusha team. Another one, Alexander Christoff, I think, you know, he's been up there.
1:13.4	He's been in the top five.
1:14.6	He's been duking it out, not with a great leadout train.
1:17.3	So I think we're going to see more of his veteran prowess kicking it into gear as the
1:22.2	weeks go on.
1:24.2	And that being said, of course, today was the TTT.
1:27.8	General classification took center stage.
1:30.9	Time trials, team time trials are so chockablock.
1:34.4	It's nutty.
1:35.5	I did pick BMC for the win.
