Summary

A truly super Sunday of cycling with four races on the calendar, all of which overlapped at a certain point. Gent-Wevelgem men and women as well as Giro d'Italia Stage 9 and Paris-Tours, one of the oldest races in the calendar. With every classics rider in the world in action (minus Sagan at the Giro) it was certainly one of the best races on the calendar at Gent-Wevelgem, particularly with Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert going head to head on the road for the first time since lockdown.

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nyson. This is a zero-detaliate
0:05.7	super sunday show partnered with LeCole. You know by now LeCole is the quickest fastest-growing
0:13.1	cycling kit manufacturer in the world. They produce road cycling performance apparel only.
0:20.8	You'll be familiar with them already because they provide the kit worn by Byron McLaren,
0:25.6	the Pro Peloton. They work with McLaren closely optimizing that kit in the wind tunnel,
0:32.0	TT kits etc and the road kits making sure they're as fast as possible and that flows down to you
0:38.6	the consumer. If you want to check out their kit you can find them at www.lecold.cc. Link is in the
0:45.6	description of the YouTube video for this pod and the podcast show notes going check out the deals
0:51.9	they've got on at the moment but I'm going to be honest with you guys about the super sunday
0:58.4	and girls. Benji and I had to divide and conquer between some of the races so
1:04.4	that's the only way we'll be able to actually focus on them properly and provide some accurate
1:10.3	takes. So yeah four races today, zero stage, eight and available for men and women and
1:17.6	paddy tour, three world tour level races on the one day, just brutal. Put on to Giro stage,
1:23.3	nine from Sunsalvo to Rocco Raso, 208 kilometers long, pretty flat and they did the Paso Lanziano,
1:31.4	12.4 kg, 7% and then this staircase climb for the last 90 kilometers including the Paso San
1:39.4	Villanado, not very steep, Bosco di Santonio, again not very steep both of them were 4% and 5%
1:47.2	and then the last climb to Rocco Raso was about 10km at 4.5%, but it did have a bit of a
1:55.7	muro at the end, quite a steep finish. So we didn't think it was going to be big GC gaps today,
2:02.8	their climbs are just not hard enough. If people climbing like 25km now, the effect of a draft,
2:09.2	especially with the headwind that was there today just makes it virtually impossible for anyone
2:14.1	to get big GC gaps, except for maybe that final climb and a breakaway did form Benji with some
2:21.0	names that you thought were going to be there. Yes for sure, firstly when the race started off,
