You're listening to the second podcast at the 2024 Tour de France with Mitch

Tucker Richard Abraham and Graham Wiggles. Today we're in Dijon.

I just think it shows that it's a lot more open here.

Yeah, that no team is able to dominate the sprints like last year or no one's getting the lead

out right. Mark didn't win yesterday because of a lead out. But his skills and intuition and instinct won

in that bike race yesterday. And the day before as well, you know, Gramay, when he won, the same,

his team was, they were actually riding for their other sprinter. So again, you need

some luck, you need some intuition and the sprints are very open which is exciting.

And as Dylan got the speed, do you think, think to compete that is not an issue at all

speed he has when open road is what we need

boys Matt White playing us in there saying that this year's tour is so open for the

Sprint teams. Mitch you had a little chat with him earlier just very quickly tell

me I mean he's a happy man today isn't he but why why does he think it's so open

Well he's wrapped because I think it's been about two years since they've won a stage at the Tour de France

And the team's on a really big role.

They've had some great victories at the moment.

They've been working towards this.

Durbo's been telling me how fast Dylan grown a wagon is.

He's ready for it and it just hasn't quite happened.

And I think the thing about Matt White is he's pointed it out that at the moment in the

sprints there, there's so many good sprinters there.

We saw Mark Cavendish being yesterday, nowhere today, Philipson's a little bit off.
