Hello, no longer from La Vuelta, Spain, sadly not from Wallongong in New South Wales either.

My name is Daniel Frieber. I am the host of today's episode of the cycling podcast as we look back at the first three days of the UCI World Championships in Australia and ahead to the rest of the week.

In particular, in this episode, the men's elite road race at the weekend. I am joined by a couple of exceptional guests joining me today from Vilfranche to your mouth.

I think that's where he is. A modest coat-design fishing village, also the location of Wiley Reputies to be the world's third most expensive home.

The 750 million euro villa Leopolder, whose value is exceeded only by the 27 story mumboi residents of India's richest manor and Buckingham Palace.

He is the current AG2R Citroen professional and veteran of one UCI World Championship, more on that in a minute.

He's also a Tour de Swiss stage winner and 2017 US National Road Race Champion.

He is refined as a golden hour cruise along the Upper Corniche in a drop-top Porsche 911. As American as cream soda, he is the man who put the Vina Greta into our Vuelta Espanya in Salada.

He is the Motown Marvel La Quillari Warbass. How are you, Larry?

Daniel, yeah, doing well. Glad to be here. And actually kind of funny about that villa Leopolder. I spent like an hour reading about that.

I felt like, well, I was kind of just waiting to train the other day. So yeah, actually it's funny. I read all the same packs as you did.

Well, mysteriously, and suspiciously, I must say, Larry, well, the current owner of that villa is not known or not widely known.

No, I think she died. I think it's disputed, but I think it's pretty...

Yeah, I think what they are quite sure is it was like this Brazilian monogaspo women named Lily Safra and she died in July.

So, you know, I was thinking about leaving a note in the mailbox and seeing if they just wanted to give me a steal under something.

Yeah, what you're trying to communicate to the listeners is that it's not you.

Larry, I also mentioned cream soda. In the course of my other research this week, I discovered that cream soda was invented in your home state, Michigan.

And the very first recipe for cream soda was written by someone named E.M. Sheldon in the Michigan farmer, that famous publication, which I'm sure you still subscribed to.

Our second guest tonight also joining us from Sawyer in Mayorka long serving Euro-Sport Sighting commentator, the multilingual voice of cycling and owner of multiple voices, depending on whether he's commentating, podcasting or singing the Italian national anthem with me on loop, accapella, while drunk on grappa on a Tuesday night, yes,

that actually did happen. It's a man so fussy about his food. He wants rejected my brosketa on the base that he didn't like the angle at which I'd slice the tomatoes.

It's my long-suffering former flatmate Rob Hatch. How are you Rob?
