| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge cycling podcast seems like we just recorded a two or two |
| 0:03.7 | of France recap and we're into the Olympic Games road races preview men and women's the TT |
| 0:10.0 | preview will be a separate podcast so it doesn't drag on too long and it's a little bit |
| 0:15.2 | after the road race so the men's road race on Saturday I think women's road race is on Sunday |
| 0:21.3 | on separate days they're early in the morning I think like 4am to 11am roughly central European |
| 0:28.4 | time for me and Benji who I have here as always and as always the show is supported by our show |
| 0:34.6 | partner look whole but yeah Benji this I'll get into the profile first just to get your immediate |
| 0:41.2 | reaction to it and maybe see if you think like try and draw a comparison to any previous one day |
| 0:46.4 | races that are this hard 232k's gradual climb up to Doshi Road 4.5k 6% then they do the Fuji climb |
| 0:55.1 | 14.5k 6% descent then they go elaborate on the finish line for like 40k's then the Makuni pass |
| 1:04.6 | 7k's 10% then a shorter descent then Kawasaki pass 2.34.6 and a non-technical descent I think |
| 1:14.1 | and then they do the circuit on the finish line so Makuni crest with 30k's to go to the finish |
| 1:20.2 | it's got a steep section in the middle when's the last race we've seen like this one day race with |
| 1:26.5 | clients this hard well it's honestly quite difficult to look at it like that because you'd say |
| 1:31.6 | you've got mountain classics like an Elon bar and so full but I feel like that's still very |
| 1:36.4 | different the Olympics is written with teams that go from one rider to like what is it six riders |
| 1:42.2 | in the in the max of of the biggest teams so it's going to be more tactical than it is |
| 1:49.1 | forcing your way through this Paco and because of that you might see odd things like if we go back |
| 1:56.1 | it's how five years ago in the Rio we had early moves already half way to race with Vincenzo |
| 2:01.3 | Nebelian to the attack and now as well crashes in the front group and then eventually |
| 2:06.4 | the Navamon and Fulsan came around towards the end and ended up battling it out so it was a very |
| 2:12.3 | tactical race and it also played out probably much different than anybody anticipated before hand |
