You are listening to the cycling podcast with Lionel Bernie, Daniel Freib and Richard Moore.

Hello, my name's Richard Moore. I'm joined by Danieli Freiber and Chini.

Not yet, Richard. Another couple of weeks before I was brought to sleep into my Italian persona.

I thought I'd bring that in from the cold. No, I'm just, I'm impatient. I'm impatient. I'm eager for the giro.

Okay, another week. Well, in the meantime, I'm afraid listeners were joined by Daniel Freib.

Hello. That's better. And Lionel Bernie. Hello, Rich. Hello, Lionel. Bernie, how are you both?

Bernie could be an Italian name, couldn't it? Well, it's not. Is it? And Lionel and I discuss this at the weekend.

The origins of your surname? Indeed, we did. Yeah, we did. To my horror. To your horror.

It's Scottish. It's very, very Aberdeenshire. There's actually a village just south of Elgin called Bernie,

which is where lots of people called Bernie have come from. And I discovered at the weekend that my dad's ancestors were all Bernie's from Aberdeenshire.

Yeah, so I'm probably not quite as Scottish as you, Rich. But I should probably stop making jokes about the length of the Scottish cricket season.

It's quite close. It's very close. One letter away, in fact, from being the same as the German word for pairs. Sorry.

Vienna. Well, there we go. You might have German roots as well, Lionel.

But you do intend to go to the village of Bernie. Don't you and stake your claim to? I do indeed.

A plot of land or something. Indeed, yeah. Not quite ready to break cover on this, but a plan for a mini series of explore is a food.

Might reveal that next week, because it's coming up fairly soon now. But we'll see.

We've got something else to reveal next week, which will be our preview episode for the Jiro.

We'll be looking ahead to the Jiro detail in that episode and we'll have some interviews and so on and some familiar voices ahead of the Jiro.

And we'll have a new title sponsor next week as well, which we're very excited about. All will be revealed next week.

But this week we are looking back at the Leage Baston, the edge, aren't we? And we're going to hear a bit later on from Michael Woods, who is one of the key protagonists in that race.

We'll be focusing mainly on that. The two of the Alps was on as well last week. That will feed more perhaps into our Jiro preview next week.

But do you have a new roundup for us, please Lionel?
