Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nice and a big stage today,

a big episode, zero to tell you, stage 21 recap, the pivotal ITT, as well as a pretty exciting

Veltera Spanish stage 6 fireworks, where we didn't really expect it. As you know, our podcast

for the Vuelta and the Giro is supported by La Col, and they produce performance road cycling

apparently. They provide the kit to Baron McLaren. You've probably seen those Flora Orange

kits in the Pro Peloton, and today they had Perl Bill Bound protecting or writing for his

third position, or maybe trying to get third position on GCF Column and Cracked, protecting

his fourth position from our Maida, and yeah, we'll see how he would go and we'll see how he goes

in the ITT. But if you want to check out the La Col kit, you can check it out at www.La Col dot cc

of the podcast. Moving on to stage 21 of this ITT. The heavy favorite was Felipe Organa,

Benji and I said that yesterday, I think we both picked him when one of the rare times we were in

in Unison, and that wasn't the I guess most exciting thing about today. That was almost a

4-1 conclusion in my mind. It was, could Jai Hindley protect his 0.01 millisecond lead on against

Tau Gagan Heart on GC? They went into the stage pretty much on the same time. Hindley, though,

just in the Malia Rosa by a fraction of a second, and Kelderman pretty much out of the picture.

He was like 90 seconds back, so he wasn't going to make that up on this. What is it? 15 kilometer

time trial from Chernesco, Sul Nabilio into Malano, by the Duomo. So flat TT, few corners,

but nothing too crazy. And did the stage deliver exactly what we expected, Benji, what we said yesterday?

Well, we said that the time trial would be won by Gana. We said that there would be two switches

in the top 10 that's all made over Bilbao, and Hindley being passed by Gagan Heart for the winning

of the 0. Now, if we look at the time trial, there was no difference in weather forecast and so forth
