| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast. This is the Milano San Remo 2021 preview. |
| 0:06.5 | Angie is in the house. He's excited. It's not a cobble classic, so he's not at max levels of |
| 0:12.3 | assignment, but he will, he will try his best for our Northern Italian compatriots. Before we get |
| 0:18.2 | into the preview of Milano San Remo and the heavy favorites, I want to mention our show partner, |
| 0:24.0 | LeCole, and particularly their work as title sponsor of Drops, Continental Team. I've mentioned |
| 0:31.9 | previously about Drops, having ambitions to go to the Women's World Tour. Well, LeCole is part of |
| 0:40.2 | that journey and just infer the details on that vision is that the goal is actually 2022 |
| 0:47.2 | that Drops becomes a Women's World Tour team, Drops LeCole. And if you'd seen their performance |
| 0:52.2 | at the Healthy Aging Tour against S.D. Werks, Yombo Visma, Traxika Frado, you'll know that it won't take |
| 1:00.8 | much, well, it just needs a little bit more support and a bit more time and that team is pretty much |
| 1:07.4 | ready to be a Women's World Tour team. So just want to let you know that. There's a whole web page |
| 1:13.6 | on Drops LeCole on LeCole's website, which we'll link below and yeah, that's what I didn't |
| 1:20.4 | thought about the team. And I think it's pretty, pretty interesting. But Malano, St. Raymo, Benji, |
| 1:26.3 | where do you rank it among the monuments, first of all? Oh, it's a hard question actually. I think |
| 1:30.3 | that the main ones for me are article ones and that's not because they're flammage because |
| 1:37.0 | Paris Roubaix isn't and I think that Paris Roubaix is the best of the monuments. For Florence, |
| 1:42.7 | perhaps second. I think about LBL as I've always kind of felt, may have about LBL and I don't know |
| 1:50.6 | why. So I think I'd rate Milan and St. Rammel as Ferd, LBL as Fulf and Ilombardia as Fulf. |
| 1:56.7 | Ilombardia gets the bad batch here, the fifth place because it's so far in the season and it's like |
| 2:02.7 | the right moment where a lot of people kind of lose a bit of their enthusiasm about cycling because |
| 2:08.8 | they've been watching it for multiple months. They've got a bit of no luck with the date there. |
| 2:15.8 | So you have Malano and St. Rammel, third for me. I think that the annoying thing about it really |
