Hello and joining you this week from London on the 25th anniversary of Marco Pantani,

completing the Giro Tour Double, the last man to do so, also a day when a fresh out of the box

mark, Cavendish documentary will supplant one about a rogue candy dispenser smuggler at the top

of my Netflix watch list, the Pez outlaw being the name of the latter if you're interested.

My name is Daniel Friebert, I am the host, the co-host of this episode of The Cycling Podcast,

in which we'll figure it out, but also physically via the medium of technology journey north to

a land of 5 million people, nearly 700 uninhabited islands, and the highest proportion of red

heads anywhere in the world, so I read it earlier today, possibly making Quinn Simmons,

Mateo Jorgensen of the USA, Rohir Adria of Spain, Conor Swift of Great Britain,

or Andreas Letnissund of Norway, the outstanding candidates to take the rainbow jersey on Sunday.

I say we're going north, I of course mean to Scotland, where a nationally treasured Belgian

Brunette, what I believe is just completed, his first route rec on this morning is waiting for us.

Alas, it's not Remco, even a pull, but it is one of the voices of cycling on Belgian networks.

Bordstar, it's ace commentator and our friend, Bernard Scotter.

Good afternoon. You're a Brunette. Daniel. You're a Brunette, I would say. You would certainly want

a Brunette. I think I'm more of a Greyhound DCs.

Bernard, well we'll get your thoughts on the route shortly, but any red heads in the Belgian team,

I didn't spot any. You mean on the race course this morning?

No, on the Belgian, the Belgian line up for Sunday.

Oh, Campanars, Frieson, Lampart, Stoeven, Van Hoidonk, Benote,

Philippsen, even a pull van art, no. It's a dream team, it's a regular dream team, but

I don't know. A dream team is always, yeah, is not invincible.
