Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Naisen. This is our

Rondovon Blondron recap, Men's Race if you're watching on YouTube and there's a women's race

separately on YouTube all together on the podcast players if that's where you prefer to listen.

and what I saw was a dangerous break. We're actually a bit dangerous in the sense that I do see

some riders that have been in the final of one of these couple races before. You know what lines

develop in that. But also, we've seen Lasio that he can do cobble. So I was like, he's going to be

last survivor for the break away and eventually, well, we won't talk about it yet but that break away

reached up to a good 12 to 13 minutes and obviously that's quite a lot but it's also very early in

the race. So we were still thinking this break is going to be a thought at some point but I did
