| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast, the recap of the openings weekend. We've got |
| 0:05.5 | Omloat at Newsblad, or it's called Omloep Newsblad now. I don't know where the het has been removed. |
| 0:11.4 | They didn't pay enough or something. And we got the men and women's race. We've also got |
| 0:15.7 | Fawn Nadash over in France, where, yes, maybe something wholly happened over there. No spoilers. |
| 0:23.6 | But the first, obviously, the big race was on loop, New Splad. Vanderpull, even heavier |

| 1:01.0 | And I've said it before this race. |
| 1:02.4 | I'm saying it after this race. |
| 1:04.0 | For Kroon, I understand Paul Manier to be a candidate for that high candidate. |
| 1:08.0 | But for Omlop, especially a race that is so attack focused, I'm |
| 1:12.6 | sorry, but two Algarve stage victories in a sprint don't mean anything to me for Omlob. Isn't |
