0:00.0	Welcome back to Lantern Ruccycling Podcasts, a recap of Kerner, Brussels, Kerner. We had the news last night that Machia van der Poohle, he had, he's like, this ain't a world tour race, I'm not doing it, or maybe he had a few too many beers, or I don't know, but he didn't stop. They got Groves, and Philipson, Philipson won the race last year for Alperson, Premier Tech, I've got to get their name right.
0:24.9	Ben. Roves and Philipson, Philipson won the race last year for Alperson Premier Tech. I've got to
0:22.9	get their name right. Binnie's here with a good team with Aski Hofstetter and other riders who've
0:30.4	done very well in Kerner and Brennan was able to start despite crashing very hard yesterday.
0:40.1	And I think that was the notable news pre-race,
0:43.9	Benji. Why don't you remind us of how this parkour differs from Omlop?
0:48.8	Well, there's just a giant flat section after the hill zone. The hill zone within Kuna, Brussels Kurner, is in the middle of the race. Even in the early middle, I would classify
0:53.8	it.
0:58.5	And then there's a significant flat section afterwards in this race. Our quality, I would mention it's 60, 70 kilometers of flat, roughly, is how I'd say.
1:05.5	And the hill zone itself, it's not like we've got multiple climbs like the Molumbert in here as well and the space in
1:12.1	between the climbs feels like it's a slight bit more to me personally so that's an element
1:16.7	as well but they're longer yeah the race usually does open in between Amo de Papin which is still
1:24.9	with about 90 kilometers to go roughly then Lebobedo-Lique the next climb and the
1:29.7	Mont Salorant. Those are the three where usually the early action when it comes to, if
1:34.7	Vizma wanted to open it up three years ago, four years ago, it was always in that zone necessarily,
1:39.0	and we've seen other teams try similar in other years. But it's always a battle between
1:43.6	can the attackers get away
1:45.4	on the Hill Zone versus can the sprinters stay alive and survive that Hill Zone as well?
1:51.8	But I feel like there were a few sprinters that were very offensive, even in the Hill
1:56.0	Zone itself.
1:57.0	It was a fun race today.
1:58.0	I think so as well.
