| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Legend Rouge Cycling Podcasts, the recap of stage 7 of the Giro de |
| 0:04.0 | Dalia. The big fight for GC would commence today with the huge finish on Blockhouse. |
| 0:10.0 | It's a 250 kilometre long stage. So like if you're like me, you got to actually not, |
| 0:18.0 | I didn't go up early if you just like flicked it on when you wake up at a |
| 0:21.7 | normal time and then you saw the start of this stage, you saw why are they doing an extra loop |
| 0:27.4 | on the coast, pancake flat, no climbs for any of the like climbing breakway guys to get their |
| 0:34.5 | teeth into and then it's, yeah, it's flat inland, then they hit some gradual medium mountains in the Apennines in Abruzzo, and then they descend, |
| 0:42.8 | wait. |
| 0:43.2 | Passo San Leonardo. |
| 0:45.3 | How many of your one-meter bikes fit in a 245 kilometre parkour? |

| 1:12.4 | 14Ks, 8.5%. Big win today. First 3K is 5%. Then it's like 9ks at 9% really hard than the last |
| 1:21.8 | 1,500 meters are a little bit less hard. The wind, I was thinking this thing was going to happen where there was a lot of criticism of the organization yesterday with the unsafe finish. I thought there would then be like this, sometimes you see in the Gero an overcompensation. And then they were like, all right, we're just going to, we're going to finish halfway up blockhouse because there's crosswind. Thankfully that didn't happen. |
| 1:44.8 | It's uphill. |
| 1:45.5 | They were going. |
| 1:46.0 | They're crawling. |
| 1:46.5 | It was safe. |
