0:00.0	You're listening to Kilometer Zero by The Sightened Podcast.
0:12.4	Well, with what we like to call the Tour de France Om, pretty much seemingly wrapped up,
0:35.4	I think it's a good time for us all to look forward to what should be a
0:39.4	humdinger of a battle at the Tour de France fan. So that's why the Sightened Podcast
0:46.4	feminine was kind of hijacking the Kilometer Zero today to give you a bit of a preview,
0:51.3	a bit of a taste of the runners and riders and the stages that are going to be coming up next week
0:56.6	when the Tour de France fan starts on Sunday. So my name is Rose Manley, I'm the presenter of
1:02.4	the Sightened Podcast feminine and I'm joined by Danny Gray, a new new-ish voice to the podcast

1:47.8	the Tour de France on my go. No, I had a brilliant time over there, but it's great to be,
1:54.4	great to be back with you Rose and also great to have my voice back. So I'm very sorry to all the
1:58.9	listeners who had to put up with a very croaky Lizzie for a few days, but voice is back and I'm
2:03.8	back where I should be on the second progress from now. Now, I know, we stole you from service
2:12.2	course, so we can't really have too many claims on you, but Lizzie, you and I did the Tour de France
2:18.7	Fam, although remotely, wasn't it? Last year I was on the ground for the inaugural Tour de France Fam,
