| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the cycling podcast at the 2024 Buelta-Hispanic from Lishboa to Madrid. Goodestardes, Richard from the, that's young Richard Abraham by the way, from the aluminium factory, |
| 0:36.3 | the cortitho, it's not actually an aluminium factory, I'm doing the mid-service, it's a technological |
| 0:40.2 | campus, Richard. |
| 0:41.2 | And it is quite impressive, must say I've never said that before |
| 0:45.6 | about a technological campus. |
| 0:47.8 | That's what I was telling you plant Danny tell me something |
