Welcome back to J.B. Squared. I am J.B. Hager, joined by Johann Bernille.

We're going to take a look at stage eight recap from today and look ahead at a mountain finish on stage nine tomorrow.

And that has some historical significance so that Johan will share a great story with us.

Before we get into everything that happened today and what's going to happen tomorrow,

let's check in real quick with a couple of our sponsors and I've got a couple of offers for you.

Today's show is brought to you by Ventum.

Maybe you're a lot like me and you were like a roadie forever and you got kind of curious about

gravel bikes, what all this hype and the explosion of gravel racing. And you want to pick one up.

I think this is really, really cool. You can get into a new GS-1, their new gravel bike with the

SRAM Apex AXS starting for just $2,999. Now, of course, you can always upgrade from that,

whatever you want, the next level

of SRM or other components, whatever your preference is. And this is what I think is really cool

about Ventim, both on their road bikes and their gravel bikes. It's the same frame, whether you're

speccing it out as a $3,000 bike or a $15,000 bike. It's the exact same frame. A lot of other brands will downgrade the carbon is probably the best way to describe it to get the price point down. It's the same exact frame. And then, of course, you could always change the components later and just be on the best of the best. So if you're looking for an NS1, the road bike, or the GS one, definitely check out Ventum bikes.

Spend some time on their site.

Go through the build out.

You get to pick everything.

You get to decide which handlebars.

You get to decide what crank length you want.

You can decide on the included alloy wheels or upgrade them to something bigger and

better if you like. It's really fun to go through the build, tweak the colors, send it to a friend,

get their feedback. And you can get 10% off when you use the code we do, WEDU, at checkout at
