| 0:00.0 | This is the cycling podcast at the 2025 Welter at Espania, proudly supported by Lloyds. |
| 0:09.0 | Thanks to sponsorship from Lloyd's, we've got cycling covered. |
| 0:13.0 | Last week was one of the busiest weeks of the cycling year, as we covered the Welter in Spain and the Lloyd's Tour Tour of Britain which finished in Cardiff on Sunday, |
| 0:21.7 | an event which also brought down the curtain on Geraint Thomas's glittering career in fine style. |
| 0:28.3 | The Lloyd's Tour of Britain is the largest free-to-attend sporting event in the UK, |

| 1:35.3 | Goodsardes, Don Daniel. |
| 1:37.3 | Oh, Don Daniel, Don Daniel, I'm not sure I deserve that title. |
| 1:40.3 | Danny, what an extraordinary scene. |
| 1:42.3 | I've been covering professional cycling for longer than should have been the case probably and I've never |
| 1:47.9 | seen a scene like this it compares vaguely to the summit of Mount Etna which |
| 1:53.0 | where I've been several times in the Giord Italia but for those for those who |
| 1:57.4 | didn't watch the stage today and are only just catching up now, well, first of all, we should describe the smell. |
