0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lenten Rouge Cycling Podcast for the final recaps of the stage of the
0:04.7	Juryd-Ditalia 2025. Stage 21, they've traveled down to Rome for a very historic and
0:11.0	pageantry-filled, finish to the race. We've got the papal visit. The race visits the Pope,
0:18.3	a Chicago White Sox fan. I do believe the newly elected Pope.
0:23.1	We have Veni's last race. We have the Coliseum. We have a lot of, we have a tribute to
0:30.3	Rothsching Sladewife, Daisy. And so a lot going on in this stage. But actually then, Benji,
0:36.8	the stage itself is is is it ceremonial
0:40.6	i feel like the non-tour de france ones are less obviously ceremonial this one was ceremonial
0:46.3	i'm sorry but this is copy-paced tour de france chandelizier recession stage and i don't like it
0:52.2	that's my personal opinion i've never been a fan of a cycling

1:23.0	Multiple riders do it, I think, Osgreen and so forth, then M.S.P. Pearson and all the Danish writers from the Peloton, including Fulsung, who will retire, I think, Asgren and so forth, and MS Piersen and all the Danish writers
1:28.4	from the Peloton, including Fulsung who will retire, I think, in a week. So that kind of crawled
1:32.5	up on me because I forgot about his retirement completely. Those writers came to the forefront of
1:37.2	the Pelasol and take picture together, blah, blah, blah, that kind of stuff. I'm not particularly
1:41.9	interested. I watch cycling to see cyclist race. And at the end of the day, I'm not particularly interested. I watch cycling to see cyclist race, and at the end of the
1:45.1	day, I'm not watching when this stuff happens. I watch when the race actually starts. Now, it's my job,
1:51.3	so I kind of have to watch this stuff. So eventually, I do end up seeing the riders roll into the actual
