| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for our weekly show, quite a tardy weekly show, |
| 0:05.3 | but everyone needed a Rubei cooldown. |
| 0:07.8 | I think this episode is brought to you by Joint Cycling. |
| 0:10.9 | We have a very busy race schedule now. |
| 0:14.3 | From now until maybe Cretem de Dauphine, there are so many races on, |

| 1:20.5 | That's a mouthful that name. |
| 1:22.2 | So keep your eyes on that rider. |
