Welcome back to Legendary Cycling podcast for flesh will on women the recap the start was insanely early different to the other races we've got to obey on a different day this starts at the crack of dawn just about in Europe so it actually starts really cold from what I understand this is in the the moon region Benji am I correct yes I can't lie edge.

But it's what's it called in Dutch I know that Volsupel.

Well, so pal, yeah, you're right, Jesus actually getting the will in your level seven at this point, though, I'm on a streak of Dutch obviously, but here we have

SD works have dominated this race, then I've done a bragging for like seven times in a row. She won, but then Cavali broke the SD work streak last year.

The following was their big leader for this steep finish. She's their best arden rider. She just won. I'm still gold. And this is the middle part of the triple crown the arden triple crown, but we've got the unalipid who's good here.

Reelini in her first edition for track.

Sega Frodo is keen to see how she would go.

Maulman now an AG insurance is good on these finishes.

Van Vlerten, et cetera, but the profile 127 K's they do the murder we three times.

The Kote share of twice. So that's 1500 meters at 7.3% and it crashed five and a half K's from the murder we which is not that long.

The two climbs pretty close together and the murder we itself is one K 11.6% with a really steep section in the hairpin or the corner at about 500, 600 meters to go, but

Yeah, who'd you Cavali with someone I was really hoping Benji would be, you know, good in this race after she won last year, but she's just not been the same since the crash. Unfortunately,

you're right that crash last year really hit her and we've seen her recover now for the last period and obviously concussion and so thought of included in that has turned into a month long recovery, a month long recovery now half a year long recovery and.

At this point, I just hope that we once again see Marta Cavali at some point at her prime, whether that's this year, I don't really care.

I'm fine if it's next year, I just want to see her at her prime again in the future because that that hit that she got by Nicole frame, which I'm pretty sure that she.

Never really got relegated or anything for well that that hindered her career a lot this year, but that being said, they still have a tripluit within that team, which on paper for this finish would fit, but last few weeks, I didn't feel like a tripluit week was really competitive in the races that we were watching and I guess we'll see today, if that's the case, but.

To be honest, Pledge will on starts and it starts with a break way for us abroad and there's a Neelan, Christopher, and Ella Harris, but this break is going to get caught, you know that and this brings us to a tripluit instantly because we narrowly avoid the traffic sign would roughly 44k to go, this is like.

Before we get to the second last minute, we answer full.

And some other people actually crash into that sign was, you know, I tried to crash into that sign, but still remains upright somehow like the sign is completely evaporated, but that right, we're still in one piece.

On the bike, which is shocking, but it's a complete week, I don't know if she actually went down, but she continued forward from that point, I think of Ali drop back at that point, and this is just before we get to the next climb, an interesting part is we got a bit of a split in the peloton and.

I couldn't tell whether it was from the crash or whether it was from.

The climb itself that came afterwards, because.
