| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nyson. This is the |
| 0:03.9 | Ithulia Bass Country stage for recap where two thirds the way through this wonderful world to a |
| 0:10.2 | level stage race. I love it. I love the scenery. I love the climbs. I love everything about it. |
| 0:15.9 | Here with Benji back again, I've cooled down after my rant yesterday. Benji told me I have to |
| 0:20.8 | calm down. It's not good for me. I disagree but I'm going to do what he says. This show is brought |
| 0:27.3 | to you like all our shows by a year-long show partner. Look, they make the Lantern Rouge Cycling |
| 0:34.1 | Podcast possible. They've supported it pretty much since its inception to be honest and they've |
| 0:39.3 | been listening since day one. So their fans as well. If you want to check their mouth, they produce |
| 0:44.4 | performance cycling apparel. Their link is in the description. Today's stage, the profile, I'll |
| 0:51.2 | go through first. 190k. It's a little bit of a long one from Victoria Gastais to Ondaribia. |
| 0:57.2 | No mountain top finish. We don't really have long 30-minute climb. Mountain top finish is in |
| 1:01.6 | the Bass Country. It's still interesting racing, rolling climbs, a lot of climbing. Two main climbs |
| 1:07.6 | are the Hayeskebel 8Ks at 5.5%, which is, I mean, nothing too nasty in the Hayeskebel to be on |
| 1:15.5 | a large group would still be there afterwards. The main one crests with 23k's to go. False |
| 1:21.1 | crests, as I said yesterday, then up and down downhill with plenty of places to attack. The main |
| 1:26.6 | climb is the earlier Elites climb. 4K is at 10.5% with pretty much steep the whole way. Some |
| 1:34.8 | 500m sections of 13% started to 11%, it's nasty. And then they have, as I said, 23k's to the |
| 1:41.6 | finish and maybe an 8k flat run into the line. So there would be attacks. We knew that to GC |
| 1:48.0 | standings before the stage started. Rollish leading GC, Pikachu second, 20 seconds behind, |
| 1:56.0 | his teammate on UET members, McNulty, the young American, on 30 seconds in third, Yates on 39, |
| 2:02.3 | Valverde on 50. So UA got the 1-2, Vingo God for Yumber Vismarles at 54 in sixth. That's the GC |
| 2:11.7 | standings. Benji, this sort of stage, do we see stages like this designed in the Tour de France? |
