Welcome back, my name is Benji, today I want to welcome you to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast,

and today we've got the solo break where I'm afraid, because I'm going to have to do it alone,

quite simply because my boy's in the air, he's flying over from Australia to Europe,

to which he is moving, which should improve the output of this podcast, not necessarily with

more podcasts, but qualitative, because on paper this is a huge obstacle that we've had for now,

almost the year, I think, nine months, and we started a podcast. Let's dive in. First of all,

let me get these damn sunglasses off, because who the hell wears that on a podcast? I can't

wrap my head around it. Nonetheless, today's topic is so simple, I'm going to try and take a look

to our sponsor of the podcast, Nicole. I have never done this, so this is going to be a bit of me

winging it, so let's hope Nicole is happy about it. They now have a McLaren Project Arrow collaboration

that they did with McLaren to make, honestly, one of the most arrow things I've seen in my life,

and it seems to be a pretty nice kit. It looks so lovely, quite generally. I think that we

clearly have a bit of a code set up with Nicole, so if you want to do a purchase on the Nicole website,

you can fill in LRCP 20, and it should drop X amount of the percent. I'm guessing 20 from the name,

but I can't promise you that because I don't know it by heart, so LRCP 20 is the code at

lical.ccol.ccol.ccol.ccol. Yes, that's the website I was meaning to advertise, so I definitely

checked them out. Awesome stuff, and they allow us to be making these podcasts at the best of our
