You are listening to the Cycling Podcast in the 2022, well,

the Spanish, our advice super sapiens, energy management for committed athletes and coaches. Today, we're on the Pico Hano.

Hello, when I started this from La Voeta, I spanked out my name is Daniel Freiber. I am the host of tonight's episode.

And as you heard from our friend Rob Hatch, I am on the Pico Hano in Cantabria and wouldn't you know tonight, I happen to be joined by Rob Hatch from Soyet in Mayodka.

He's the long-serving Euro Sports Cycling Commentator. The multilingual voice of Cycling, in fact,

Acrington Cricket Club's first change meeting pace in number 11 batsman, my former flatmate and legal guardian of the sadly deceased Bamboo Palm Tree Market Plantani. Rob, good evening.

Good evening, what an introduction, what an introduction.

What an intro. And then how I think looking in Soyet in Mayodka, because I can tell you here, as people probably saw on TV,

I cannot see very much of the Cantabria Mountains. And now after the finish, we're still. I'm still immersed in, I suppose, what's up your way, Rob? You'd refer to as a P-Supar.

A P-Supar? I do not. I've got to disappoint you, I don't. I didn't want to take your beautiful introduction apart straight away, but I'm not actually in Soyet today.

I'm just down the road from here, I'm in Asturias, in Rainier, Asturias. It's great and it's pretty similar, and the weather forecast is pretty awful for the next few days.

Whatever we've seen today, which I'm sure we'll talk about in a minute, is coming again.

Well, Rob, I am delighted to tell you that also joining us from Traverse City in Michigan, not Michigan, Michigan.

It's the current AG to our Citroën Pro, and Veteran of Fort, where does I Spain at toward the Swiss stage when at US National Road Race, champion in 2017?

Motown's answer to today, Pogachar, and BMC's, Urso, our friendly ghost, as we discovered yesterday, is Lucky Larry Warbass.

Well, Larry, I thought, hey, good evening. Larry, and we didn't see J-vine win the stage this afternoon, because for reasons just discussed, linked to the lack of visibility, and I was wondering how I could somehow link this to the ghostly anecdote that we heard about you yesterday.

Oh, that might be difficult, but I don't know, yeah. I would have rather been that kind of ghost than the other kind that I was, so hopefully I can convert my experience into a World to Stage 1 one day also.

The Phantom J-vine, well, what a stage it was, Chaps. The World's Talk, and I have been talking over the last few hours of the World's Ice Spaniour really starting today.

I suppose unfair on those who have, well, thrived so far in this World's Ice Spaniour, there are also a lot of tired riders already in the Peloton.

Esteban Chavez told me this morning he was very tired after five stages, but it certainly did kick off. It certainly sparked into life with Remco Evainaport taking the Red Jersey.

There were a lot of losers, I suppose, or maybe we'll define them survivors, guys who will link their wounds this evening, and we'll be back to fight another day tomorrow.

Not out of the race completely, we heard from all we mentioned yesterday, Oscar Freire, locals to this region had said that on this climb today you would find out who would lose the World's Ice Spaniour.
