I'm Pace McElvin and this is the With Pace podcast.

It's honest to say that the strongest rider here is Ashley Mulman because of, yeah, she's a legend on World Tour.

Yeah.

So, yeah, the will to follow was Ashley today and, yeah, I did that just the whole day.

And when she attacked at 5K to go until the summit, I just follow and try to push harder to drop the other girls.

And yeah, it was the thing to do, I think.

Axel, Hugo.

Can you introduce yourselves by saying your names

because my French is non-existent.

You guys are worried about your English,

but guaranteed it's way better than my French.

So let's start with the correct pronunciation of your names.

Actually, a lot of American people ask me, how do you say my name?

So Axel, and I'm always unsure, like, for us, there are no difference in the pronunciation.

Like Axel or Axel?

Yeah.

It's absolutely the same for me.

Okay.

And how about last name also?

Because I'm very, I'm more curious about yours, because I've always guessed.

So Axel, Dubreux.

Yeah. My name is Izer, Hugootreveau. Yeah.
