Merckx was the cannibal, who got charged the new cannibal.

That's it.

I mean, he's here to win races.

This is a stage that he identified.

He destroyed the whole field.

On this type of stage, he got destroyed last year.

He got humiliated by Visma and by Jonas.

You know? So I can understand that he has revenge feelings and that he wants to show.

If he's in such a great shape, you know, like everything seems to work, he is flying.

I mean, you cannot not take advantage of that.

You just, I mean, especially on special stages like this, you know, if you're the best guy in New

New Jersey, you need to win this stage.

You know, I'm sorry.

Hello and welcome to J.B. Squared.

It's going to be a heated show today.

It was already a heated show on the move.

And of course, I like everybody else is going, what is Johan Brunel going to say after today's stage? I'm dying to know just like you are.

Welcome to J.B. Squared. I am J.B. Hager. I'm joined by Johann Bruniel.

And we're going to look at stage 19 and we'll cover all the, you know, the buildup too, not just get right to the punch of what Pagachar is doing and should he be doing it or not.

We are going to cover that.

Just go to ketone.com slash the move. All right, Johan, let's jump in. I want you to hold off on your opinions about Pagachar and what he should or should not be doing.

Let's sort of go through how the race unfolded first because a surprising number of our listeners listened to us and don't watch every stage.
