| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Roo Cycling Podcast on this Saturday evening. We've just watched |
| 0:04.4 | the final stage of the Basque Country very exciting one week world tour stage. |
| 0:09.1 | Race Stage 6 GC all up for grabs from Andorrawa to Arate. Ibar 112 km long stage 3300m climbing |
| 0:20.4 | and they start climbing right out the gate 2.2km at 9% then the Azurki climb 5.4km at 7% |
| 0:28.1 | then they go La climb 10km at 5.6% that one's the least deep of the day then the last |
| 0:34.9 | year's one I thought in the middle the crabble in climb 5km at 9.5% with press with about 50 |
| 0:43.6 | 45km remaining and the Trabakua 3.3km 6.9% and the last climb to Arate Ibar 4.6km at 8.7% |
| 0:53.4 | with a short descent of finish it goes without saying all those climbs if you look at the profiles |
| 0:58.2 | have nasty steep sections in them particularly the crabble in it's got a very steep section in the |
| 1:04.8 | middle I'd picked I think McNulty to retain GC Benji had picked a gacha to win GC I think and also |
| 1:13.7 | Rollich was the favourite going into the stage I think a dollar 80 to take over GC and he was |

| 1:27.2 | that we could watch I saw we saw the live stats or wherever on Twitter saying that people were |
| 1:33.6 | attacking on the first climb straight away I think Karthi attacking there and he was two minutes |
| 1:40.0 | 30 on GC and he was then in the group front group for the rest of the race but yeah what before |
| 1:47.3 | the stage Benji what did you think would be the strategy for younger Visma would be satellite |
| 1:52.8 | riders would it be to just sit on would it be to just wait for the last climb what did you think |
| 1:58.1 | they'd do yeah yesterday we mentioned it satellite riders most likely to kiss I thought they would |
| 2:03.9 | send someone in the breakaway and that would be a moment where you would need to step in and see |
| 2:09.2 | if they want to let that go or not but we also mentioned that the start of this stand is so perfect |
| 2:15.6 | to have breakaway riders just all over the road because when a stage starts with an uphill section |
| 2:21.4 | and it's such a short stage done people who are a minute two minutes behind can already start |
