Welcome back to the Lantern Roos Cycling Podcast for the conclusion of the big week of racing.

We have the Paranese Recap, Toreno Adriatico has finished as well.

And Trofea Binda was quite an exciting race, I must say, in the last 45 minutes to an hour,

was pretty good watching, finished at a good time too. So surprise winners today.

Also some, I know, just some good racing, I think, this week.

What are we starting with Benji?

I think we'll start with Paranese because that wraps up the GC

because it was a GC stage on paper.

The stage is the usual final stage of Paranese, but it's not the same parkour.

We always had the usual coldest plus court de pay than in the beforehand segment of the

race where the race would open up, but that's not really the case on this edition.

Stage 8 today had 130-ish kilometers with the Co de la Port, the biggest climb being the

fast one after about 50 kilometers, which was 7k at 7%. the climb after that was 6.7k at 6.4%. So far these gradients are not shouting to me this is a

launching climb with 60 kilometers to go not really for me so we did have a last climb then the

code the linguador which is 3.k, 8.2%, that is hard enough

to make the difference. But Patrick, what were the standings in GC before this? And were

any changes even possible?

Yeah, there were changes possible. Steinhauser was only 19 seconds ahead of Oakland for

third. And, but EF got a pretty equal team, I would say, Baudin.

Yep.

Is, without only, do any of us have a better rider than Bodan to support Volcanal or launch him?

They can make the earlier climbs hard with Tiling, which is what they tried to do.
