0:00.0	You are listening to the Cycling Podcast at the 2023 Tour de France. Today we're in Bouligneur.
0:17.0	Welcome to a very sunny terrace in Arbois, in the heart of the Jura. It's a delightful little spot this, isn't it Richard?
0:25.0	Overlooked by a fine standing church, a little plaque with Arbois' most famous son, Monsieur Pasteur.
0:34.0	More on him later, indeed. Well, just another hidden treasure of France.
0:39.0	Exactly. I mean, we've been talking about this in the van about the sort of places that you would not come to if it were not for the Tour de France.
0:46.0	This is not a tourist trap, but it's a charming little town. Well, maybe you would come here if you wanted to find out a bit more about Louis Pasteur.
0:53.0	I don't know, but we are drinking a locally brewed beer from about 10 kilometres away. It's called Goose.
1:00.0	And it's incredibly sour, isn't it? Sour and salty.
1:04.0	Sour and salty, I didn't believe it. When it was described, I thought, how can a beer be that sour and salty, but it really is.

1:35.0	So it was from Moira on Montagne to Polini, 172.8 kilometres, and we had the closest finish of the Tour de France so far.
1:47.0	It was a real photo finish between Matte Moorage of Bahrain Victorious. He was, I was going to say, a tyre's width ahead.
1:54.0	But it was actually more of a deep section rim ahead of yesterday's man of the day, yesterday's stage winner, Kasper Ascreen,
2:01.0	who almost made it two out of two for Sudar Quickstech, but no, Moorage got it.
2:06.0	I feel like I've maybe a tone for my dreadful pick of Mikkel Björg on day one.
2:12.0	By, yeah, I think, did I say last night that Quickstech could be on a roll?
2:16.0	You did. Well, the noises around the finish line by the buses was power and boil, boil, boil being the word for a tyre.
2:24.0	So, yeah, pretty much, pretty much a tyre width.
