0:25.2	I'm Dane Cash and it is post-Flanders. We are here to talk about how the tour of Flanders was one, which is a pretty special thing to talk about because it's just such a special bike race.
0:41.0	And I just cannot wait to get into it with bike racing analyst
0:44.8	extraordinary. Cosmo Catalano Cosmo how are you? I am well how are you Dane
0:50.3	maybe maybe you should specify for the listening audience when you say we are here, where is it that you are?
0:56.4	Yeah, I'm farther away from you than normal right now. Well, unless you're in the UK audience, but
