Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast.

The Earth Benji is always for the recap of the Olympic Games men's TT and then the women's TT that we two separate files on YouTube.

If you like seeing them quicker, all in one file, they're the same on all podcast players.

As usual, this show is supported by our show partner, look whole more on them later.

The men's TT, 44k course, 760 meters of elevation gain, slow course and yeah, super long.

We're going to finish it in just under one hour with long extended climbs.

But as you know, this is how we do TTs.

We get straight into the results because I always forget the water they go off in.

Primrose, rogwitch, thick rogwila is back after complaining of pain in the road race in his back.

He was straight jubing us, wins this TT, wins the gold by over a minute to his teammate Tom Dumeland, who took a break from cycling this year.

He came second taking silver on 101 and in Rowan Dennis, a really sold performance third taking bronze, three seconds behind Dumeland a minute four after rogwitch.

Fortieth of a second, 0.4 of a second ahead of Stefan Kuhn, who finished on 104 as well.

On luckiest TT rider, Stefan Kuhn, fourth Gana fifth on 106, then a big gap, well for our sixth on 111, seven seconds ahead of ours couldn't on seventh.

We're on even a poll, they've been make up eight, nine and ten all on about two, 15 to 20.

So you're, we didn't see this coming.

I don't think Benji, I think I was put off by rogwitch road race a lot and he's come out with a huge performance.

Yeah, an incredible ride and in all honesty, like the men's race was after the women's race and while watching women's race already felt like the parkour was harder than I anticipated.

Like the initial climb and so forth fell harder, it had more influence on the initial time into minutes than I expected.

And the rogwitch already showed at the first intermediate that it was going to be a hell of a time trial, but the question is, was it going to keep it up on the descent afterwards on the, well, not a flat section,

but the flattered and the climb section on the latter part of the lap and he just kept storming on kept storming on and I really enjoyed it because obviously last year he had second in the tour and afterwards he with that ride with the LBL victory this year, he had his bad luck in the tour once again, and now we found the way to fight back once again with the golden medal in the ITTN, that's awesome to see and what was about the funniest part of this entire child trial was.

When he actually finished and he kept on riding the officials had to stop him 300 meters past the line and say no, no, no, it ends here because well you can do the impression, but after he wrote two laps, he said lap, lap tree, why not her.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's very surprising performance and then to yeah, it looks like you could have done it done another 10 minutes easily, so big gap from first to second over 60 seconds and then four seconds between the quote unquote specials, which I hate that word, Benji that TT specials, it's like, so just because Pagatio and rogwitch are good at grand tours, doesn't mean there are TT specials, even though like rogwitch has done well at cronut at nations in 2019,
