The Hello and welcome back to the pretty serious bike racing

podcast I'm Dane Cash and it's Monday September 25th as of recording time. It's getting to that part of the We're going to get to that in a bit. We'll talk a little bit about some of the

interesting things that came out of Luxembourg and we'll do a little rap of

grand tour season. Men's and women's now that the Vuelts is in the books, now that all the

grand tours of the year are in the books. We're still finding time to be pretty

serious even in late September, even as the leaves start to fall, and I can't wait to get serious.

With Cosmo, Katoano, Bike Racing Analysts, Extraordinar, Cosmo, happy Monday, how are you?

I am well, trying to see if I can make a joke about Euros being actually Worlds because

Cycling is so European-centric, but I don't know, I'm well, that's all all I got your point is made either way you know like I mean this even if there wasn't a clever joke involved it you made a good point there

This is traditional world's weekend is it not or was yeah when when there's not you know we don't have it in the weird time of year that we had it this year

We are joined by well Ruth I usually I like to go digging through pro-cycling stats to grab, you know, a highlight, a result for you.

I don't have to do that this time, you just want a bike race.

Would Traumagon even show up on pro-cycling? Well, yeah, I don't know that they

high enough level race. I don't know that they have that sort of race. But you know, now that you're an off-road pro,

you went out and won Shumrammagan and first of all congratulations.

Thank you very much. Second of all our listeners should know that we were we were

texting back and forth trying to schedule the next pretty serious appearance for Ruth last weekend and she sent a text.

It was like 7 in the morning, you know, hey, busy weekend.

And then a few hours later, I saw that Ruth Edwards

had won Shomigan.

And I thought that does, that qualifies. Because sometimes sometimes we say like I say busy weekend if I'm going to go on a long ride that day or something and I you did go on a long ride but you also want a bike race so

Congrats thank you. Yeah, good day at work.
