0:00.0	You are listening to the Tour des Flanères. The cycling podcast at the 2021 Tour de France
0:14.1	powered by super-sapiens. Energy management for commited athletes and coaches. Stage 20
0:21.6	today we're in Saint-Émignon. Hello my name's Richard Murat, I'm with François Thomas, oh hi there.
0:29.7	And Mitch Docker. Good day guys. Good day Mitch and François. We are here still in Saint-Émignon
0:36.4	in one country but we've found ourselves almost drowning in beer as well and we'll get
0:42.4	we'll get to that a bit later on. Not quite literally but that doesn't if it's ever
0:49.3	from Mitch's a bit giddy already. It's just so beautiful. Beautiful things happen today.
0:57.2	We've got too much beer. Anyway we'll get on to that. There's quite a story behind that. Anyway
1:05.2	today's stage, the wine trial, the time-trust is we're going to hear from wine fan Luke Derbridge

1:50.6	on that bit later on. But the interest in today's time trial was really added by the
1:59.6	imminence of the Olympic Games in Tokyo I think. And when we spoke to Wart van R on the first
2:05.2	rest day he said that he was going to finish the tour and that this was a major focus for him
2:10.5	because it was a dress rehearsal for the Olympic Games and judging by his promise there he won
2:17.5	the time trial by 21 seconds out of Casper Ascreen who also put in a great performance.
2:23.3	Van R showed today that he might be the favourite for the legal medal in Tokyo. Is that fair?
