Welcome back to the Latin Rouge Cycling Podcast for the weekly show after the tour of Romondi.

Got a packed schedule as usual with loads of extension announcements dropping in particularly for the GC riders is

Arno de Lee back DSM dominating in tour of Turkey Lave Welter Feminina kicks off as well as some injury updates TDFF wild cards and Demi

volering signing a somewhat surprising endorsement signing as well.

But Romandy, this is the race we've somewhat disparaged.

We did say in last week's weekly show that the start list was really, really good. How much pressure

were we under after the prologue, the most technical prologue ever to do a pod when Michael

Zilard won, which is Luke, I think that Luke's favorite rider.

I have to be honest, I was looking at the likes under that last podcast,

because we said it, we said 3,000 likes I think and it got close but the problem is it didn't get there you didn't get there so I'm sorry but the rules are the rules and

unfortunately no daily recaps for Roman even though I

low-key wanted to do so. Looking at looking at the race itself why is that

start list so huge it's like is it not because, for example, last year you see the one-week races and

world tour being dominated by Yona Zvigner-Gantade-Pogachar to the point that these other

riders like the any losses of the world, like the inioces of the world like the rest of the pack the

second-degree leaders at UAE, Yates, Simon Yates whatever those kind of

riders are then thinking okay Yates, Simon Yates, whatever, those kind of riders,

those kind of riders are then thinking,

okay, I can't win.

I can't win,

Tirena most likely if Pagatra shows up.

So I'm going to show up to a on-paper lesser week race to have a chance at winning a G.C is that a theory?
