by Super Sapiens, Energy Management for Comitted Aferates and Cultures.

Today we are in Redeemeria.

You are Aura, a Mister.

We always believed in him, but he did, we did as the riders and it's well deserved this one.

For us and for him over the moon.

If we came say through the stage then we were going to sprint with Kate but it wasn't feeling so good today so we changed it in the last minute to Alberto and

once we knew we were in the clear and GC was safe and stuff like that we just we fully committed for Alberto and yeah every day we make a plan and every day everyone looks through the stage finishes and stuff like that and it's such a good feeling to finally nail it.

Where are we Lionel? We're in Reggio Emilia and a very pleasant square down the Alarmway. This is the food capital of Italy. Are we going that far?

We might have to consult our guest. Third member of the podcast team is even the introduce him in a minute we are in Reggio Emilia, a city famous for its beautiful buildings, it's beautiful food, fantastic gastronomic reputation.

It's famous having been the home of Kobe Bryant in the late 80s early 90s it's famous for having given birth or the province of Reggio Emilia having given birth to very famous singer in Italy, Luchano, Liga Bue.

And lots of other things we'll discover during the course of the podcast.

Well we should welcome our third member for the final part of the jury. We've reached a half way point really haven't we? I'll be bowing out at the weekend but a big welcome to Brian Nygard. I'm not doing the proper Danish pronunciation already am I? How should it be said?

It's close enough. I was settled for that. I've worked for many years for an Australian team and they never actually spilled my name right so I think we're already way ahead of ourselves here.

I mean I've heard Matt White try to pronounce Pogica, Pogaccia so that doesn't shock me. Yeah I'm not offended but that was that was pretty good thank you.

Lionel who do we hear from in the introduction there we heard from two DSM riders well I'm going to tell you and Nicco Dents and Chris Hamilton both instrumental in everyone was instrumental for DSM in the victory today in Reggio Emilia.

I'm surprised victory by Alberto Deneas here the young sprinter ahead of Fernando Gavirio but we'll learn all about this what happened in the sprint in the tail of the tapo weren't we?

Well we will and we have to go back to this morning because we awoke to the news that Binyum Gamae and Tomashe star sprinter who won the stage yesterday was not going to take the start.

Is the official tail of the tapo now? This is the official tail of the tapo. Yeah I feel like we should give you a whistle to signify that.

Well maybe you should be leaning out of you know out the sunroof of a car with a big flag waving me off I don't know.

I suppose this is a neutralized zone of the tail of the tapo isn't it? But Gamae that really unfortunate incident on the podium yesterday where the cork from the huge Prosecco bottle hit him I think under the eye he went to the hospital.

There were some pictures on social media last night of him with a big patch over his eye and clearly unable to take the start today a really freak accident and a real shame for the race that he's not able to continue.
