0:00.0	Who's going to win? It could be anyone's race. Ben Swift is in the mix too. There goes
0:09.8	Andro Glypo. There's Peter Sargan. Sargan, power into the line. Sonny Corpirelli, there it is.
0:15.1	Sonny Combrelli has the front of the race at the moment. Kittle hits the front. It's going to be Marcel
0:20.0	Kittle, who takes the win after
0:22.1	Tour de France, left Germany at German wins in Lijij. They were all there. They were all closely
0:28.4	grouped. That was a royal, royal battle amongst the very best in the world. Welcome everyone to
0:35.2	the Stage 2 podcast, and one exciting stage that. Ned, you must be all talked out. You've been blathering on for hours and hours and hours. But enjoyed that. Yeah, it was great, wasn't it?

1:42.8	peloton chases. I think the first hour was just under
