| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Lenten Rouge Cycling Podcast for a packed day of cycling we have. |
| 0:04.0 | I don't know what the name of this race is anymore. Kent Wevelheim. It's actually called in Flanders Fields from Middle Kirka to Vevelham. Nah, we're not having this shit, Patrick. It is Hans Weveligam. Yeah, to me it's Hemphevelham as well. It's 250 or 240 kilometers now. They've shortened it a little bit, but it features the traditional route. |
| 0:23.7 | We start on the coast in the northwest of Belgium. |
| 0:27.0 | Then we head through flat terrain, through De Mura, which is a very exposed section where |
| 0:31.9 | there's always wind. |
| 0:33.1 | Then they begin a hill circuit after 130K. |
| 0:35.8 | So after three hours, they do maybe the Barnaberg, Monteverg, |
| 0:40.3 | Kemmelberg combo from the normal side of the Kemmelberg. They're short, very steep climbs. |

| 1:18.4 | and then they go through Iper and into the finish in Vevelchem which is tail win today good for the attackers |
| 1:25.8 | not strong biblical wins today though, Benji. |
| 1:30.5 | Like the Mooran was not going to be like 20 groups. |
| 1:34.2 | Exactly. The win situation was not necessarily perfect there, but Sportsa did improve their coverage |
| 1:39.3 | because they had like a live stream for the actual Mooran segment on their website. |
| 1:43.7 | But Patrick, I think the echelons noticed that a live stream was the actual Muren segment on their website. But Patrick, I think the |
| 1:45.1 | echelons noticed that a live stream was coming because in the Mourin, nervous peloton, they're |
| 1:49.6 | all sprinting for the income into that the Mourin road that is so notorious for potential |
