Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcasts for the best stage so far of the Giro

Detalia, the Moorri stage delivered from Kiet to Fermo, 156Ks long and nailed on

break stage because there's no sprinter in the world that can win this except for Prime

Peter Sagan, who won here in 2017, I think, so you need a bit of all Vanderpoul, someone like that.

They're not here.

Mads Pedersen's not here.

Even he, I think, would struggle on how steep these ramps ended up being.

And it's a masterclass in stage design.

You've got to credit the organizers today because it's 95Ks of flat.

Like nothing for the brake to sink its teeth into,

for the punchers to really get in the break.

Then it's three climbs of about, yeah, 10K4%, 5K, 6%.

And also like 4Ks, 5%.

Then we start the Moory.

So the Red Bull case 500 meters, 11%. There's then a false flat

downhill valley before Capo Darko. It has a ramp in it last 500 meters, very, very steep, short

descent and then a proper wall. The Muri di Via Repo, what's cut off on PCSS can't see what that's cool anyway very steep wall

then it like goes into the town there's cobbles it's narrow it's old it's medieval

and then there's like an uphill sprint on some pave beautiful stuff we had good weather today

this is my favorite stage so far, Benji.

Okay.

I'm happy for you.
