Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for our weekly show. We've got a lot of race

recaps, previews to do. It's some of the busiest weeks of racing. This is brought to you by a show

partner, Join Cycling. Talk about some events. Maybe you could do in the future in combination

with Join. Benji's been Legoing. I just finished the Burough collector's edition of Harry Potter. Quite liked it.

I'm getting Gringots and Dagon Alley next. Actually, Dagon Alley next.

I actually haven't done much Legoing in the last week. I must confess, the only thing I've done

is like the fell beast from Lord of Rings, the one that the Nuzgul ride,

that dragon-like creature. That's what I've been working on in the last few days, but it's like 300 pieces. So I've been slacking my friend. We need to up our game. Do you reckon we can bring, like is Warhammer? You never did that, did you? I never did Warhammer. warhammer on the free. Yeah, I think that's, because I was growing up in the UK, right age,

right time for like did Warhammer, I'm afraid. Yeah, I think that's, because I was growing up in the UK,

right age, right time for like peak Warhammer. Yeah, that's not the key. I'm like, heavy Lord of Rings. I had Star Wars as a kid. I've got some Lego Star Wars as well, but I don't know. I'm more into the Lord of Rings stuff right now. We also, mythical being sprinting up hills in the UAE tool. we're going to do a preview slash recap of stage one. We have Tari Pagatja having sort of a Jonas Vingergaard-esque experience

with a fan. We've got Oman Recap, Valencia Women Recap, Provence, Vigera champions, classic Murcia,

Al-Maria. We have news of Jonas Finger fingerguards coach leaving vis milisa bike and riders

various complaints from exiting riders mark soles father receiving a doping suspension

and also how we view the last month and a half of the season benjy wants to

winter olympics i think his wife's put that in there in the nose because she we view the last month and a half of the season. Benji wants to talk Winter Olympics. I think

his wife's put that in there in the nose because she is, yeah, big into winter sports,

let's say.

Yes, that is true, but I think we should start off with a simple one. UAE tour. We just watched

stage one of the UAE tour. It was a, it's not a flat sprint, Patrick, stage one. It's the uphill sprint that we saw last year. We've got Madinat Zayet, not really in there, or actually, yes, there's a starting location. But Liwapalas, Madinat Zayet, to me that shouts echelons. And then before the stage started, or at least before I started watching the stage, I get

this notification on my phone where it shouts, state shortened because of too much wind.

I'm sorry, Patrick.

It's you.
