| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Legend of Rouge Cycling Podcast for our weekly show. We haven't had one for a while. |
| 0:05.4 | We have a lot of news to catch up on. We have a full team rebranding with some new entities into the sport. |
| 0:13.6 | We've got Binnie changing to the changing teams. We've got Garank Thomas taking on a new role, |
| 0:18.7 | our Maidus extension, as well as, yeah, some just |
| 0:23.6 | general news, a lot of director changes. So a lot to get into. I think the biggest topic is |

| 1:14.9 | How are you going to, no politics, |

| 1:26.6 | I'm about to do that in two days. |
