0:00.0	Welcome back to Lancho Rooch Cycling Podcast. The recap of stage two of the Giro de Italia from Tirana to
0:05.2	Tirana, a time trial brought you by our show partner, join cycling, who just dropped a new
0:10.9	feature, a word on that in a second. As I said, the city, TT, there's a lot of out and backs,
0:17.1	basically, along the waterway in the middle, and then they go up the hill at the back of
0:21.3	Tarana Park which I jogged around the lake this afternoon is quite nice, had a siesta.
0:26.3	I do love a TT day.
0:28.0	14 kilometers long, flat, big city roads.
0:31.8	I wouldn't describe this as particularly technical other than one dodgy right-hand corner

1:18.0	Okay, let's start off with a bit of a controversial take most likely.
1:21.5	We've got a time trial, obviously, today.
1:24.3	In that time trial, the first 150 whatever riders start every single minute.
1:31.0	That's how it works logistically.
1:33.0	Then the last 15 riders in this time trial start every three minutes.
1:37.6	Also logistically, because that last hour of broadcasting is the most important to see every
1:42.3	single rider in there full-on action.
