| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lenten Rouge Cycling Podcast, the recap of the Tour of Flanders, both men and |
| 0:05.8 | women. We just had the women's race wrap up. And as you will start with the men's race, though, |
| 0:12.6 | 270 kilometers long, nearly 280 kilometers actually from Antwerp to Odinard. We had a little |
| 0:18.4 | bit of rain today. Strong winds, but because it's really |
| 0:22.6 | in a, not an urban area, I wouldn't describe this as an urban area, but with a lot of buildings, |
| 0:26.6 | the crosswinds are not as influential as if they started in Bruges today and certainly not on the |
| 0:31.6 | circuit. There weren't echelons that we saw. And we have, if you listen to the preview, |
| 0:36.6 | three times Alder Quamont two times part ofberg |
| 0:39.8 | after it a whole collection of hills after the first time out of quarmont which is 130 case to go |
| 0:45.5 | where last year everyone that believed they were not as fast as tally pagachia basically tried to get |

Then the Coppenberg, which is even steeper, and we saw people struggling to get up it this week and then the last time |
| 1:11.7 | quamont is about 17 ks to go at the crest and then that has another part of berg so very very hard |
| 1:18.3 | route very very long any absentees benj any thing we said renko was doing the race right |
| 1:25.9 | yes correct we mentioned that in the uh, and we had conflicting feelings about what parts of the race would fit in him, |
| 1:33.3 | how it would have to play out for him to have a good race, for example, an attrition race. |
| 1:37.5 | But overall, a welcome addition to the race, because it's entertainment, and we like entertainment. |
| 1:42.7 | So that's good. |
| 1:43.9 | But in that same preview |
| 1:45.3 | Patrick you mentioned that alpison would learn from milano san remo i would say still von |
| 1:52.0 | dilliers ridden six hours at the front of the peloton at milano san remo and he doesn't want to do that |
| 1:57.1 | again for rvv we mentioned as well that Pogatra is a favorite for this race |
| 2:02.0 | beforehand. So Alpacin shouldn't be helping UAE to relay in the Peloton to control the |
