Summary
Egan Bernal closes out his Giro d'Italia 2021 GC, crossing the line comfortably ahead of Caruso on GC wearing the maglia rosa and celebrating as he should. However things were less straightforward for the stage win in the Milan TT, with Ganna suffering a puncture and Cavagna a mechanical both within the last few kilometres. Benji and LR also recap stage 1 of the Criterium du Dauphine, which has kicked off without too much fanfare, in the shadow of the Giro d'Italia. A hilly course offering something for the puncheurs, climby sprinty bois as well as a breakaway.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Lenton Rouge Cycling Podcast, supported by LaCole. |
| 0:03.6 | Here with Benji Naisen, the last stage of the year at Italian nose, ceremonial stage, |
| 0:08.8 | the TT around Inter Milan, it's on now and back, and it's about 30 kilometers long. |
| 0:15.6 | We're a minor of the GC standings going into it. |
| 0:17.9 | Caruso, two minutes back on Bernal, probably a bridge too far, and Yates on three, |
| 0:23.0 | 23, unable to move from that spot really, because the rest were about four minutes further |
| 0:28.6 | behind, last of Bardet, Martinez, and Karthi, then Almeida all the way down in eighth, |
| 0:34.0 | was at 8.50, how much good he jump up, as well as false and Martin, pretty much set. |
| 0:40.0 | So, huge GC gaps, huge three minute gaps between the last 15 riders, |
| 0:45.6 | kept the stage going on indefinitely, and the contenders for the stage win. |

| 1:00.0 | Did Afini go into the hot seat for a bit? |
| 1:02.8 | Actually, no, because one of the early riders that I saw starting was Gana already, |

| 1:11.2 | I think Walshide was first, and when it comes to the moment that Gana started off, |
| 1:16.4 | and I think Afini started a bit later than Gana in this time trial. |
| 1:20.1 | In terms of Gana's start, I thought he looked good in the first few kilometers. |
| 1:24.3 | I generally thought he's looking strong and will put in a strong performance, |
| 1:29.5 | and his times were significantly better than Walshide's times. |
| 1:33.5 | And I think that he was building a gap. |
| 1:37.0 | And you know that in other stages where it is like a flat part, |
