| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lenten Rouge Cycling Podcast for the recap of the Giro d'Italia, |
| 0:04.8 | men, the entirety of the recap. We started a month ago in Bulgaria in Nesbar. |
| 0:10.3 | We finished in Rome yesterday. We'll wrap up that stage as well. |
| 0:15.3 | One in a sprint by Big Johnny Milan. Did it save Treks's Giro de Italia? |
| 0:20.5 | We're going to update you on a few things. The joint discount, which has gone crazy. The GC, what does this mean for Yon and I think you got to win this race? What does it mean for the Tour de France, which has been kind of the main narrative? I felt bad for the race, honestly. It's been the main overriding narrative in interviews for the last week and a half. |
| 0:39.3 | The sprints, the, yeah, Paul Manier, stepping up a level, the KOM classification, |
| 0:45.7 | Elio, the breakout star, maybe the biggest Panache holder of this whole race. |

| 1:11.2 | Patrick, because I swear there was a moment on our previous podcast of stage 20 where one man |
| 1:17.2 | named Patrick Bro suggested that it was solely me that wanted to skip the procession stage |
| 1:23.9 | podcast. And then yesterday, I was watching the celebrations at the end of the |
| 1:29.1 | procession stage of the Jurydita. I look at Vignigo and the team of Vizmaliseke |
| 1:33.8 | on the podium and I see a little man in the corner called Patrick Bro from Australia celebrating. |
| 1:40.8 | Clearly, I'm not the only person that wanted to skip the procession stage podcast, sir. |
| 1:45.5 | No, I hate procession stages regardless. |
| 1:48.8 | Except for the Madrid one's not bad because they got a little hill in it. |
