How are you feeling ahead of this one? Are you are you gonna win?

We'll see. Am I gonna win? I don't know. What was the clip from last week's episode in Ian Boswell talking about unbounded gravel race that he took part in at the weekend and lo and behold went and won.

My name is Richard Murr and with Daniel Freibh. Hello Daniel. Hello Richard.

And Daniel the question is are you taking part in any major sports events as we can speed golf perhaps?

No, and I didn't even know that Ian had taken up mud wrestling. I saw the picture and I was quite shocked. But I was actually gonna do tick off a bucket list item today.

I think I mentioned this on the podcast before. This is vertical kilometer in the political foe. I mean Switzerland today. And it's not far from here. And I was gonna go and do it today.

It was another day, yeah another day of COVID tests. And that has scurpered my plans. And the podcast to be honest is discovering my plans as well.

I'm sorry about that. It feels very odd to be doing the podcast with you and you not holding up some kind of video camera filming us got used to that at the deal.

Daniel you're doing a brilliant job of avoiding bite racing now having having emerged yourself in it for four weeks because you were at Montvon 2 yesterday.

That was my first year in Switzerland. You're in Switzerland now avoiding the two of Switzerland. That's true actually. It was my first day not at a bite race for about a month. So I think I'm allowed.

Well I mean with incredible poetry as we as we talk we understand that Superman Lopez is away on his own on Montvon 2 with Carlos Verona and Enric Mass blocking behind him.

Who knows what will unfold there over the next 30 40 minutes or so but maybe we'll bring you the race result later in this episode.

But there's some poetry there because we are going to talk in this episode about the movie star series 2 and Netflix aren't we Daniel?

Yes we are very much looking forward to talking about it and well I think as well we'll explain later. I think we both very much enjoyed watching it over the last couple of weeks.

We have well let's do a quick news round up before we get into the dofini because you were at the dofini Daniel and I feel a bit guilty because in the last weeks episode I called it a slightly decaffeinated affair with the absence of Paul and Rog.

That's kind of how it looked at the start of the week but actually really an interesting race in the end and I think really interesting in the context of looking ahead to the third of France but we'll get onto that a bit later on.

The news round up this is obviously always very difficult for me this is Lionel's job. Come back soon Lionel. I'll do my best.

I mean one of the headlines in the last week, Egan Bernal, positive for Covid after the Jiro d'Italia, a him and his girlfriend just before they were about to return back to Columbia and a hero is welcome for him having won the Jiro.

Tested positive for Covid so they are now in isolation. Imagine he got a few too many hugs and slaps on the back and you know that can't be great for avoiding Covid winning the Jiro d'Italia.

If you want to avoid Covid winning the Jiro is probably not the best idea.

Apparently it's asymptomatic or sorry mild symptoms not seriously ill but yeah I mean it would be fascinating to know how and when he contracted it because I understand there was a little bit of a party.
