| 0:00.0 | You are listening to Nevermind the Ballariacs. This is the cycling podcast, a five-part |
| 0:04.9 | Kilometer Zero series by me, Lionel Bernie, coming to you from the Challenge Mallorca, and proudly |
| 0:10.2 | supported by our title sponsors Sports Tours International. I mentioned yesterday the Majorca |
| 0:15.9 | 312, one of the most prestigious closed-road sportives in the world. This year it's on Saturday |
| 0:22.5 | April 26th and if you go to the event website you'll see it's already sold out. But never |
| 0:28.3 | fear because sports tours international can get you a place in the event and take you to the |
| 0:33.1 | start line in style. There are three and four night trips still available, starting at just |
| 0:38.7 | 585 pounds per person, and that includes race entry. You may have to be quick though, |
| 0:44.8 | because they're selling fast and there's only a limited number still left. The Mallorca |
| 0:49.7 | 312 is one of those events to tick off your list. The full 312 kilometre |
| 0:55.0 | event takes you all across the northern half of the island. It's a big day out |
| 0:59.0 | that has to be said with more than 4,500 meters of climbing but there's still three |
| 1:04.0 | months to train so if you want to see the best of the island riding on closed roads |
| 1:08.0 | this is the event for you. And if you don't quite fancy 312 kilometres, |
| 1:12.8 | take on the 225 kilometre or 167 kilometre. Instead, they're both great days out in the saddle. |
| 1:20.6 | You'll stay at the Group Hotel Maritimo, which is right near the start finish line, |
| 1:25.5 | and Sports Tours International will look after you, |
| 1:27.9 | making you feel like a pro for the weekend. |
| 1:30.8 | So go to SportsTorsinternational.com.uk for full details. |
| 1:35.2 | Now it's on the telly. |
| 2:03.6 | I are, bomb baseball, but how are you? |
| 2:05.6 | Yeah, it was nice watching it on the telly. I mean, it's a little more than that. We're having to try and make it coherent, but yeah, straight on with the race today and go back to before the start |
