I'm Dane Cash and this week just like every week.

I'm joined by bike racing analyst extraordinary Cosmo Catalano.

Cosmo, how are you this fine Sunday May 12th on which we are recording?

I'm hanging in there.

You know, it's a little post-good exciting stage buzz still still there. But yeah, no.

It was an exciting Sunday stage, wasn't it? And on paper, maybe it wasn't going to be that exciting.

I agree, and that's actually been the case a couple of times at this year.

A race that has a history of having stages that on paper should be boring and then are I would say there's often quite

quite a few kind of in the past few years very long boring sprint stages and we've

had a couple of interesting finales where they weren't

expected. We're going to talk all about that. Over the course of the show today, it's a

giro-focused show. We've got nine stages in the bag so far. We'll also talk a little bit about the

women's tour of the Basque Country, where the favorite took the win, and then we will look ahead to the upcoming several

stages at the German at allia lots to preview as we also cover what's happened

so far that's what we're to do on the course of today's show.
