| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lenton Rouge Cycling Podcast for our weekly show number 24. I guess if |
| 0:05.7 | my math are correct, that means it's more like a bi-weekly show, but it's not my fault that |
| 0:09.8 | the Grand Tour's are way too long. Otherwise, I do it every Monday if I had my way. We have, this |
| 0:17.5 | is brought you by Joint Cycling. As always, we've got a cool event coming up on Thursday, so stay tuned for more news about that. |
| 0:24.3 | But today we'll be getting into Oya Las Cano in depth about his provisional suspension that was |
| 0:30.1 | released by the UCI last week. |
| 0:32.1 | Jako Olula's situation has fortunately been resolved regarding their World Tour application apparently, |
| 0:38.7 | so that's really good news for the Australian team. |
| 0:41.4 | We got news about La Vuelta Grande Pard par, Gran Salida rather, |
| 0:46.4 | and we also have some miscellaneous transfers and some news that Benji wants to get into at the end. |

| 1:08.6 | Who? |
| 1:09.2 | What are you been up to, Benji? |
| 1:11.2 | What have I been up to? That's a very good question. I have no memory of my last week. |
| 1:17.6 | Now, on a serious note, I've been trying to focus on my own fitness on the bicycle. |
| 1:23.2 | So that's my winter mission. I hope to lose a little bit of weight and be better on the bike. And well, we'll get into that later with the joint cycling stuff, but I don't want to pre-plug the plug too much, you know, but... I feel like you're trying to be like, pretend like you're in severance. And when you sit down at that desk and the pod starts, you're like, it's like in severance. It's the case. |
| 1:50.7 | Like, cycling life and then personal life, there's like this, there's like a line in between that I just can't breach. |
