| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nyson, supported by LeCole |
| 0:04.1 | here on the Girard Italia 2021. Second rest days, we had we had 10 stages straight, |
| 0:09.7 | then six stages, then five stages, after the second rest days. So it's a bit imbalanced. |
| 0:15.5 | I think that's pretty normal for grown tools. Can't really remember. There's normally a |
| 0:18.8 | shorter gap between the last rest day and the end of the race. We're just going to quickly |
| 0:24.0 | recap what's happened so far on the race or in the last week rather. We're not going to do the |
| 0:28.5 | first week. We'll do what I have in the second week. We'll tell you what GC standings currently are, |
| 0:33.5 | tell you who's leading the pillow games, LRCP league, as well as then previewing the stages to |
| 0:39.9 | calm the five stages we have and what we think will happen is GC over. How are you going, Benji? |
| 0:47.1 | On your Tuesday, you're happy for the rest day. Are you feeling happy about the Giro so far? |
| 0:53.1 | What's your general view on how the race has gone so far? You think venue is happy or you think |
| 0:57.5 | I'll see us a little bit. What's been happening? Well, throughout the Giro I must say that I still |
| 1:03.6 | very much enjoyed it. I think I really enjoyed the Giro so far. I think that LRCP helps a lot with that |
| 1:09.3 | when there's a stage that is a bit meh. Doing LRCP is pretty damn fun and that changes a lot for me. |
| 1:15.2 | And I think that even on pretty mass stages you can make some memes about it. But all in all, |
| 1:21.3 | I think that the GC battle has not been the most intense one. It's not that the Giro was 100% |
| 1:28.8 | over at the moment. We'll talk about it in a second. But Bernal is dominating right now and he's |
| 1:35.2 | been dominating since the start and so far we've seen no weakness in his camp and yeah, that makes it |
| 1:43.8 | a bit less likely that the Giro will turn around in the final week. Nonetheless, I've had really |
| 1:48.4 | enjoyable parts about it. It really sucks that LRCP fell away, for example. But the one thing that |
| 1:55.3 | came out of that that is slightly positive is the fact that Caruso had an opportunity to go for GC. |
| 2:00.4 | And I don't mean that in a harsh way to LRCP for example. I'd love to have had him on this race, |
