| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the cycling podcast at the 2023 Tour de France. Today we're in San Sebastien. |
| 0:16.0 | Wow, François Tomasau, a French stage winner in San Sebastien, eh? |
| 0:21.0 | Yeah, French winners we have from time to time. |
| 0:24.0 | But, coffee this stage winner is quite rare. I mean, it had been rare for more than 15 years. |
| 0:32.0 | Well, for 15 years. So, yeah, Victor Lafay, we're in here in San Sebastien, pretty close to the French border. |
| 0:38.0 | Obviously, good news for the French. Last year we had to wait for the penalty stage to win a stage of the French. |
| 0:45.0 | This time, you know, the French win on day two, stage two. And at the coffee this is almost a historical day. |
| 0:53.0 | Very cool, De, I'll tell you more about it. Indeed, yeah. Well, that's François Tomasau, of course. |
| 0:58.0 | And we're also here in San Sebastien, or Don Astea, as the bass call it, with Mitch Docker. |
| 1:03.0 | Hello, Mitch, you're still rocking the bass beret there. And you've gone for the grey one today. |
| 1:08.0 | What's the strategy behind that? The change of colour? |
| 1:10.0 | Yeah, I just want to change it up. You know, I bought two, so I thought I was going to get the wear out of the second one. |
| 1:15.0 | But it's my last day. You know, I'm probably not going to keep it going once we get to France. |
| 1:19.0 | I'll Don a new look and present that to everyone tomorrow. |
| 1:22.0 | Well, you do know the stage tomorrow is still in the bass country, so you can probably get one more day out of it. |
| 1:27.0 | Maybe go back to the blue one. I don't know. |
| 1:29.0 | I've got an idea. You know, given the recent news of the Ashes victory, in celebration of that. |
| 1:36.0 | You've warned about this. I will bring something out into celebrate the Ashes victory tomorrow. |
| 1:41.0 | I'll bring out a one-day suspension from the cycling podcast for any more Ashes mentioned. |
| 1:46.0 | We're not the cricket podcast. But French listeners, this is cricket. |
| 1:49.0 | So if you don't know what they're talking about, don't worry. |
| 1:52.0 | Well, actually, a test match is kind of the Anglo-Australian sporting equivalent of the Tour de France, really, isn't it? |
