| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge cycling podcast. The first time we've used the webcams and we're |
| 0:05.6 | trying to make the video with our faces in it. Requested in the award show because people wanted to |
| 0:11.6 | see Benji's shock at my hot takes. Some of them are regrett now in hindsight after hearing your |
| 0:18.1 | reasoned comments. Everybody in the YouTube comments particularly about my insanity. Some of them |
| 0:23.8 | might actually think I'm justified. But today we're here to talk about Mark Cavendish |
| 0:29.5 | signing for Quick Step. Benji is the man in the ground on the ground in Belgium. So I assume |
| 0:36.4 | you got told several weeks ago. How big Benji are Quick Step in the public discourse in Belgium? |
| 0:44.7 | Are they really popular? Maybe the same way. I feel like younger are really really popular in |
| 0:50.4 | Netherlands. Borough of the German fans really get behind. Borough, Hans Greys, |
| 0:56.2 | I presume he's not the same with the König. I guess so. We've got basically the best Belgian team out |

| 1:20.8 | I'm definitely with the likes of it. I'm quave in the pool now hitting the high notes and |
| 1:25.4 | just Belgians coming to the fore throughout it. That obviously improves their reputation. But |
| 1:31.3 | yeah, I think that the König in general is just a team that brings people together in Belgium as well. |
| 1:39.2 | But there's also a healthy tone of people that dislike the König. In the sense that |
| 1:44.2 | they're in the news so much that it becomes annoying sometimes for a lot of people. We had that |
| 1:48.6 | with Tom Bohnen in the past where Tom Bohnen came in the news so much that everybody who spoke to |
| 1:54.0 | was like eyes in the news already, but he's not making results in the years where he wasn't. |
| 1:58.4 | And as a consequence, it's not overly great for their reputation. But yeah, in general, |
| 2:04.7 | I do have a feeling that Belgium, the feeling towards the König is great. The feeling towards |
