Welcome. Welcome back to the Segmentist podcast everybody. I'm Kayle Frets. It is Friday, May 20th.

We've just wrapped up a pretty exciting week at the Giro. More exciting than I think we were actually

expecting quite a few interesting sprint stages. Bigi of Germi finally getting his Grand Tour stage win and then unfortunately getting hit

me eye with a cork and leaving the next day some pretty narrow close finishes between the breakaway and the sprint trains.

We're gonna talk all about it and then dive into what is coming up this weekend at the Giro.

Before we do... this weekend at the Giro.

Before we do, say hello to everybody.

Ronan, how are you today? I'm good.

Yep, just same old.

And shoddy.

Yeah, same old here as well, all good, ticking over nicely.

Be ridiculously hot here in France. It's like middle of summer when it should not be the middle of summer.

Johnny Long, how are you?

I'm well, the shoddy has taken all the good weather as it is still very much British

weather in Britain.

You didn't have to do it.

Same old, that was a sight.

Same old rain, I was going to say.

You look very festive though, Johnny, with the background that you've got today.

You've got some palms and ferns and

things back there it's looking very good before we get into today's show

there's a bit of an announcement that I am very displeased to have to make.
