| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the cycling podcast of the 2023 Tour de France. Today we're in Bordeaux. |
| 0:12.0 | Hello and welcome to Bordeaux, a very hot steamy afternoon in Bordeaux. Temperatures |
| 0:18.0 | really jumped up a bit. Today in the Tour de France we're going to recap stage 7 here. |
| 0:23.0 | My name is Lionel Bernie of course and I'm only with Mitch Docker this evening. I don't |
| 0:28.0 | know if you're seeing that in a pejorative cent Mitch delighted to be with you but of course we are |

| 1:24.0 | that is the most crowds I've seen so far at one particular spot. Obviously I |
| 1:29.0 | wasn't in the vast country of those mountains but it was really happening here. |
| 1:33.0 | It's still happening here. It's bustling down here. It is. Well Bordeaux is the |
| 1:37.0 | six biggest city in France by population and sometimes when the tour comes into a big city |
| 1:42.0 | it can feel a little bit lost. You can be a few blocks away and almost feel like |
