| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Cycling Podcast at the 2023 Tour de France. Today we're in Kursh-e-Ville. |
| 0:12.0 | If we thought the race for the yellow jersey was over this time yesterday, well it certainly |
| 0:16.8 | is tonight, isn't it? Jonas Vingigore has put the Maya Jean beyond out and as we sit |
| 0:22.5 | here with the sun setting behind the mountains and the air gradually going cool, it feels |
| 0:28.0 | like the day is pretty much guaranteed to clinch his second consecutive Tour de France |
| 0:34.4 | in Paris on Sunday. We will talk all about that in this episode of the Cycling Podcast |
| 0:39.0 | from the Tour de France. It was stage 17 today. My name is Lionel Bernie and again I'm with |
| 0:43.9 | Richard Abraham, whose work you may well have seen in Ruler and other places. Welcome Richard, |
| 0:49.6 | your first kind of proper day back on the Tour de France. I know I say that yesterday you were here |
| 0:55.1 | in full but it was a time trial day and it doesn't kind of feel quite the same but today was |

| 1:15.0 | fighting it out, lots of fans on the roadside, helicopters in the sky like it's huge crowds as well |
| 1:21.1 | which we will talk about a little bit later. I should set the scene. We are here surrounded by |
| 1:25.3 | the mountains and camper vans are parked in the car park, Tour de France fans and Richard has |
| 1:30.5 | got some kind of flying insect on his forehead there. Oh, I think it got away, I think it got away. |
| 1:35.8 | We are sitting at the bottom of a little ski lift which in the winter time will take people up |
| 1:40.5 | to come down this. Quite a gentle run, isn't it? I think I've got some chances. Green or blue, |
| 1:45.9 | maybe blue in places. Not very steep. I could cope with that. I could cope with that. I'm |
| 1:51.8 | no skier, I should say. Well, let's get on with the business of the day because it was a dramatic |
| 1:56.4 | stage. It's time for the tail of the attack. Stage 17 from Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc to Cauchervais, |
