| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the cycling podcast at the 2025 Lloyd's Tour of Britain, proudly sponsored by Lloyds. |
| 0:07.0 | The race has reached its conclusion in Cardiff, where Goent, Thomas has signed off in his home |
| 0:11.8 | city after a 19-year career in the professional ranks. Loids is a sponsor of British cycling, |
| 0:17.8 | and the job of inspiring and developing the next generation of great British |
| 0:21.1 | riders is already underway. Lloyd's partnership with British cycling started last year and |

| 1:34.7 | so they were there and yeah, it was nice |
| 1:37.1 | but it's just so surreal. |
| 1:39.1 | I think like most stages this week I've kind of forgot |
