0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lenton Rouge Cycling Podcast for our first Grand Tour preview of the year,
0:03.7	the Giro de Talia preview. We are both pumped, brought to you by a show partner, join cycling,
0:10.0	of course, and we're going to go through, as usual, the route, a quick recap of 24, the start list,
0:15.5	the favourists, their team strengths, weaknesses, as well as, of course, the sprinters, which we have a strong field of here
0:21.9	as well, and including, and then the detailed stage by stage analysis of the route, including
0:27.8	the stage winners, which we get correct every single time, of course, and final decisions,
0:33.0	of course, and final decisions on who will win GC, a quick note on KOM, Malia Azura and Chiclamino as
0:41.3	well, including the white jersey, which could be a good battle between some of the, some young
0:46.5	Italian Spanish writers that we have here. What happened in 2024, though, Benji?

1:11.5	Two minutes 38, I think was his lead already after that time trial on stage, maybe nine or 10,
1:16.1	and then he just dominated the race all out.
1:18.4	He won six stages, one GC, one KOM.
1:21.8	We were trying to get intrigued by breakaway action, trying to get intrigued by sprint stages,
1:25.5	trying to get intrigued by the fight for the podium,
1:28.0	where Danny Martinus ended up getting second ahead of Gary and Thomas, and I think Ben O'Connor got
1:33.2	fourth after a bit of sickness in week three as well, but that's basically it. Is there anything I missed here?
1:40.7	Not really, Julian Al-Falip and Tudor. Al-Filippe was on Tudor last year or QuickSept?
1:47.0	He was on Quickstep last year but he was in the breakaway with Meistery.
