Hello, I'm Ned Bolting and I'm David Miller. Welcome to Revualta, our first foray into podcasting from the third and final grand tour of the cycling year, brought to you in association with Chapter 3 and the Roadbook.

And since you kindly mention it, David, the road book is Cycling's Wisden. Published for the first time in 2018, it's a beautiful almanac. I'm very proud to have edited, detailing a year of racing

over 900 pages of unique data, information, thoughtful reports and fascinating essays.

Vuelta 2019 for 25% off. And chapter three, the brand I founded in 2015. It represents the next chapter

of my life, a transition out of racing to building a company and brand that could grow and learn

off the back of my previous life as a pro cyclist. I'm beginning to learn that we all have a

next chapter and we can all be bike riders. And I hope over time chapter three can cater to everybody.

All right, that's the world-class spiel done with.

Here's a world-class podcast.

Sapkos, delighting the crowd and delighting himself as well as his teammates by taking a memorable win

in memorable conditions here and from a 17-man breakaway that speculatively got up the road

he saw his window of opportunity open and he kicked it wide open and we'll enjoy that

and remember it for the rest of his life setkus has

really announced himself as a major player at world tour level with that victory what a ride

before we start today um i'd just like to commend ned bolting on his display of stoicism through

today's stage because there was a non-starter i know and. And I felt for you. It was Paddy Bevin,

wasn't it? I don't know why he didn't start, but it's a heartbreaking development. He didn't

text you and tell you. He didn't. I don't know he knows who I am, David. I mean, I'm sorry, man.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, in many ways, it overshadowed the stage, didn't it?

I think it did.

And, you know, I know you well enough to know there was a hint of just trest, trestness.
