Well, come back to the Lantern Rouge YouTube channel with Benji Nice and this is the Movistar

0:07.2

men's team preview for 2021. It's my birthday. I'm excited. It's Saturday at about 9.40

0:16.8

p.m. and I've dragged Benji out of bed to do this preview, which a lot of people are

0:21.0

very excited about. Movistar, Benji, I couldn't believe this and when I asked you before

0:28.2

we started recording, you were so far off the other week and I said, how many wins did

0:33.1

Movistar get in 2020? Two wins in 2020 for Movistar. One, before lockdown, in Polenta,

0:44.0

we answered two underage with Mark Saleh. Second win? Well, it's a stage. Stage two, Mark

0:50.3

so yeah. So just to win to this team, Benji, how is that, is that the worst 2020 relative

0:59.0

to the talent on the team for any of the teams we've done so far? I think so, yes, because

1:04.5

we also saw two victories at Coffitys, but that's more explainable. We're just one

1:27.2

didn't do it because while Volvede, we can't say that he's young anymore, but for Volvede

1:32.9

that has never really played her all the last years, unless last year because last year

1:37.1

it did feel like he was finally reaching that somewhat of a breaking point, but then in

1:42.0

Volvede, he started coming back and at once the hedge dad, you were like, oh my god, he's

1:46.2

on the scene again, but a pre-2020 full Thursday would have won that stage in Volvede, I would

1:53.6

say. Yeah, not a good season. That's the big thing is Volvede and for reference,

1:59.3

they won 21 races in 2019. I know it was a condensed season, 2018, they won 25 races,

2:08.0

quite a lot of those at world tour level, talking Catalonia, Paris Nice, Toronto, Giro

2:15.2

Stage, Tour de Swiss, Tour de France, welter couple of stages from Volvede, so 2020 was
