Hello and welcome back to the pretty serious bike racing podcast I'm Dane Cash and this week as ever I'm joined by co-host like racing analyst

Cosmo Catalano Cosmo. It's good to see again.

Good to see you too, Dane

And for the second week running, Ruth Winders back on the show, Ruth.

Good to see you for the second time today. We saw each other riding earlier, although

we didn't really realize it until it was a little bit too late.

Yes, good to see you too. we didn't really realize it until it was a little bit too late.

Yes, good to see you too.

We are here to talk Tortoise Weiss.

Men's and women's.

The men's race ended this morning. The women's race just started. We've now seen two

stages of that and lots of things happened in the G.C. battle on the men's side and I

think the women's race coming up is going to be very interesting but of course the thing that we have to talk about the thing that we should we need to focus on is the horrible

Tragic news from from the men's tour to Suisse. We learned on Friday that Geno

Mader, the 26-year-old Swiss rider on Bahrain victorious had died following a crash the day before.

The crash occurred on a descent. We know that Magnus Sheffield crashed in roughly the same area. Beyond that we don't as of as of when we're recording we really don't know much about the circumstances of the crash.

We just don't have a lot of information yet about that or about anything that's going to be done to improve safety.

So in the next few days I think we will learn more about what

happened and anything else that's being done. But for today it seems like the thing that we should do is just remember

genomator memorialize genomator who he was as a as a racer and as a person. He was known as a rider who impacted a lot of other people

in a good way during his time.

And he was taken far too early, only 26 years old, which is just awful.
