Welcome back to Lantern Rouge cycling podcast, supported by La Colte with Benji Nyson for

zero detail at stage 14, the first proper mountain top finish of the zero so far from

Chitadella to Monte, the Zonqua land, it starts actually near the factory in which I show

partner La Colte produces their kits and the shadow of Monte Crapa, but they don't do

Grappa today, 205 kilometers long, pretty flat for the first 120, 130 Ks, they do a cap

too, that's not too bad for Chitadella Monte RS, 10.5, 6.1%, descent, a bit of a tricky

descent actually, and then a short rise afterwards, then a valley of about 30 kilometers where

I could walk on back together if need be, and then the Zonqua land, the other side of

it, not the normal, or this is the, I don't want to say easier, not as difficult sight

of Zonqua, 14.1 Ks, 8.5% the average, but it's all about the last 3 Ks, the first,

or 11 Ks, it's pretty regular, 7 to 8%, seems to be the standard sort of stuff, no real

pinches, the last 3 Ks, 12.5, 12.5, 13.3% for those last 3 with pitches up to 20, 22%.

So really nasty, I think we went with break yesterday just because we didn't know who would

you serve, any of us, but a break went, who was chasing at Benji, and who was in that

break away, because a bit of a funny start to this stage.

It took a while for the break way to actually come out of the peloton, and there were quite

a few attacks before we saw someone get away, I think the first one to attack was Tomas

De Gend, and that didn't really go too far because I think half a minute later he was

caught, so a lot of the attacks kept following, so you can't even try it once because of

the intermediate sprinting stage, all that stuff, and eventually a group got away, and

that group included Ponomad, Tratnik, Rocha, Albanese, Fortunato, Benet Afini, Oliveira,

Malema, Mosca, and Govi.
