Summary

We are looking ahead to the Tour de France in this week's episode as we review the recent racing in Switzerland, Slovenia and Belgium.

This week we also hear from Pavel Sivakov, the young Franco-Russian who returned to racing in Switzerland after crashing out of the Giro d'Italia.

0:18.0	Hello, my name's Richard Murrow winner of the 2021 Tour de Suisse. I am with Midlands under
0:30.8	13's Open Golf Champion. What were you referring to? I won the Tour de Suisse. I mean, I've been
0:45.8	training, but I didn't think like 50 kilometres on the flat around the, you know, in the lanes of
0:50.7	Piccadilly. We really had a quick break for the Tour de Suisse, but I was wrong. Well, first
0:56.0	hairy leg, six foot three, 90 kilos, Scotsman ever to win the Tour de Suisse, but it was officially
1:02.6	announced by the Tour de Suisse organizers on Twitter on Monday morning that I had won the
1:08.8	Tour de Suisse just ahead of Rigoberto Iran and Yakovulsang, I think. He's the twinkst

2:16.6	actually. I am just taking a bit of time out from my holiday to do spot cross-rich. I am in the
2:22.4	Dolomites. I am at the foot of just looking up at Plan de Coronés Corn Plats. Well, it was the
2:33.7	venue of a summit finish or a couple of summit finishes in the Giro one time trial. In fact,
2:38.4	they've both been time trials, I think. And I actually sort of decried and mocked Plan de Coronés.
