| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for the last major race recap of the season. |
| 0:04.4 | The last monument at the season, Il Lombardia on the Saturday, the 7th of October, |
| 0:10.3 | beautiful weather, throughout most of Europe at the moment for this 240k course from Como to |
| 0:16.1 | Bergamo. It's the 2021 route with longer climbs. Madonna del Gizarro, Dronecola, |
| 0:22.6 | 7.5k, 7.3% Pasodella Crochetta, 12k, 6% descent, and then the main climb of the day, |
| 0:30.4 | the Pasod Uganda, 9k, 7.1% before a little sort of, is there a ridge actually? Before they get to |
| 0:38.0 | Salvino or 5k's, it's a bit of a false summit at the top of Uganda before a 12k descent, |
| 0:44.1 | 10k flat kicker on the Coli operator and then a flat finish in Bergamo. The favorite was |
| 0:48.8 | Pagaccio Role, which second favorite, Renko, 3rd. I liked El Hagua, you liked El Hagua, Benji. |
| 0:55.4 | Who else was outside? I guess Flassova's come second in this race before. |
| 0:59.3 | Was there anyone else we need? Karl Sardry gets to, he's been good here. |
| 1:02.8 | Yeah, it'd been good, but I also felt like it was going to be either one of the three riders |
| 1:07.4 | that were the favorites. We have our cut-up us big, but also next to that, we'll got to our |
| 1:12.1 | versus Rolecci. I never truly believed someone else would win, even though like anatomy, it's |
| 1:16.8 | good win from some practical choices made by UAE, for example. So I was mainly curious what's |
| 1:22.5 | what was going to happen when it comes to their tactics. Were they going to once again go all |
| 1:25.6 | out for Pogaccio? Or would they change from that trajectory and go to a strategy that is basically |
| 1:31.8 | the leader strategy between using Adam Yates to try and benefit both Adam Yates and Pogaccio? |
| 1:37.6 | We'll go ahead into that later. Yeah, that's the beauty of these two wall-up races, and yeah, UAE |
| 1:43.6 | want to win them, sure. Poggy wants to win them, but we've seen the last three years or however long. |
| 1:50.1 | They are a tune-up race. They iron out, and even if you make mistakes, it doesn't matter, because if |
| 1:55.5 | you get it right at the big race that you're tuning up for, no one remembers no offense to |
