Summary

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge cycling podcast with Benji Nice and our first World Tour |
| 0:05.6 | level stage race in Europe for the season, Parry Nice Stage 1 of 8. You might have seen |
| 0:12.3 | my preview of four Benji's been flat out with Work all week. We then have Strade yesterday. |
| 0:18.7 | Thank you for all the support on the Strade podcast yesterday. That's crazy. But the profile |
| 0:25.5 | for this first stage, an interesting one, not a basic straightforward sprint stage from |
| 0:30.5 | Sancilla Cole to Sancilla Cole, there are two laps about 85k's each for 166k's stage. And it's |
| 0:37.9 | like I call it a Britannia classic light stage. Lots of up and down climbs of like 400m at 8%, |
| 0:45.6 | 1200m at 5.3%, 700m at 7.1% the code to Meridon, intermediate sprint points at the top of those |
| 0:53.0 | punchy climbs, I think the Chateau 4 climb. So Matthews and Tachban, we're going for those sprint |
| 0:59.2 | points today. And then the finish was 500m of like false flight uphill in the last K in the first |
| 1:05.0 | 500m of the last K. And it was a little bit uphill before then. And then 3-4% drag in the last 500m. |
| 1:13.2 | So go be careful not to go too early. So an interesting parkour, not a straightforward |
| 1:19.3 | sprint stage, which is what I like about it. Before we get into some of the riders here, |
| 1:24.8 | the sprinters for today, want to mention our show partner, LeCole, you already know about them, |
| 1:31.0 | www.lecoelwell. I mentioned on the stride part, I think yesterday or the day before, there was a |
| 1:37.3 | 10% deal for first time by as well. I think there's a day left on this. I don't know when the weekend |
| 1:43.6 | finishes in Europe, you're obviously behind Australia. But for the rest of the weekend, there's 20% |
| 1:50.7 | off the pro bundles on the LeCole website, which is a pretty good deal. And there's the Strava |
| 1:56.8 | Club as well, which you can go and check out whether it's constant deals throughout the year, |
| 2:01.2 | through the Strava Club. Where if you do a certain number of Ks or a challenge, you unlock a |
| 2:06.0 | discount code, which you can apply in the LeCole store. So go and check them out at the link below |
| 2:11.7 | to support the podcast. But Benji, run us through who were the sprint candidates for today stage |
