they've only done 18,000 right now. So that's only a third. I mean, yeah, they still have 34,000 meters in front of them in, you know, in, you know, in, in,

ten stages, in ten stages or 11 stages. So, you know in 10 stages in 10 stages or 11 stages so you know we've seen nothing like we've seen

nothing right now in terms of accumulated difficulty.

Hello and welcome to J.B. squared.

You're going to get a really fresh J. B. Hager and fresh

Johann Bernile after the rest day today.

So you got that going for you.

We're going to look at stage 10, sprint stage today in the tour of France.

But before we do that, I want to thank Keaton IQ for being a title sponsor of J.B. squared.

I'd really like to talk about Rest Day because to the

casual fan, they think the Rest Day is just a treat. I mean, I think a lot of people think they're just laying pool

side at the hotel, hanging with their families, something like that. It's it's a

work day too and it's it's very challenging. Yeah it is it's very special arrest day. Now as I said in another

podcast you know it was less of a factor especially because the tour of France was kind enough to put in a flat stage today which you know is obviously a huge advantage

if it would have been tomorrow stage for example that would have been a whole different game but yeah on the rest day you see

different strategies you know when some people I mean I've I've checked out the strava of some of the guys you know when some people I mean I've checked out the strava of some of the

guys you know most of the riders have done what they call a coffee ride like 30 40 50

kilometers easy spin you know spend time with the family a bit.

Some riders do nothing, which is also, it means different.

I mean, you have to be quite sure of yourself if you take that strategy.

And then I just want to point out, you know, I mean, I remember back in the days,

my first time I did the tour of France was 1990.
