| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Lenton Rouge Cycling Podcast, the recap of stage 13 of the Diorita |
| 0:04.0 | from Alessandria to Verbania, 189 kilometers long. |
| 0:09.0 | We have once again very flat brake formation, 160Ks of flat, like three uncategorized hills in the first 30Ks, |
| 0:19.0 | and then two climbs. |
| 0:20.0 | A warmup, nice little five minute warmup, 2.4K, 6%. |
| 0:24.8 | Short descent and then the Unjaska climb. |
| 0:27.7 | 4.7k, 7%. |

| 1:12.6 | there's maybe one, maybe one and a half teams that sees a possibility for a peloton result for their |
| 1:17.9 | rider. And even, even with NSN, to be honest, I don't really see it. Like, Strong is a good rider, |
| 1:22.9 | but there's absolutely no certainty that if the peloton goes set at final climb that strong wins the race |
