Welcome back to J.B. Squared stage nine of the 2023 Tour to France. I'm J.B. Hager, and I am here to, you know, question and lead Johann Bernille to help us navigate what the heck's going on in the Tour de France. It's such a complicated sport.

And we're lucky to have Johan here to make

sense of things, especially not just with individuals, but with team tactics as well. And we'll get

into all of that with what happened today at stage nine and a look ahead. But first, a couple

offers from our partners. Today's show is brought to you by Ventum Bikes.

Of course, you've heard about the new GS1, the gravel bike. They just revamped it.

I actually just got one of those a few weeks ago. I'm sorry, a few months ago.

Been having a blast with it. It is so much fun. It's a different ride. It's just a cool thing.

You can go different places and do different things you

just couldn't do on your ns 1 what's from really incredible and miraculous to me is that you

can get into this GS1 for just 2999 just under three grand starting with the SRAM

apex a x s you're on the road for three grand on the exact same frame,

if it might be a $15,000 version of the bike.

It's really, really cool.

And their website is just so great at helping you do the build out.

There's a lot of helpful things to help you pick the right geometry,

the right size.

Like I'm on a medium. I was somewhere between a medium and a medium large and then when you start plugging in all

your info from an old bike fit or whatever info you have you go oh okay i'm on i'm a medium large i need

this length of stem i like this length of crank i want this wheel upgrade or not, this set of components.

And it's really fun to play with it.

Just do the whole build out on your bike on their site.
