Welcome back to Lantern Rouge cycling podcast presented by Zwift for a shortened podcast like both stages that we saw today were one of them didn't even exist.

This is a serenaladriadoco stage five recap. We also had Parani supposedly on today, but it was shortened and canceled eventually Benji because of strong winds, right?

Yes indeed so first it was said to be shortened to the last two hills which would have been a would have been a bangar of a stage 79 kilometers with two hills one of which is super steep but then it was shortened with like local circuit in front of it was like a rumor and then war as in the handset on Twitter that they had no clue what was happening they had no information with the teams which is also great obviously.

But in the end canceled due to strong winds up to 90 to 100 K an hour so good luck riding in that if it's cross winds.

I don't know if this was the CPA or the police that because I was texting with Jack Hague he was on the bus he was also like I have no idea he's like I reckon this is going to get canceled as they were on the buses because they made them do like five minutes of riding around the start the initial start town maybe because they still get the.

Directly still in voice them the start town the start well the rise road around in at 20 Ks an hour he's the voice I may be and anyway he's already it's going to get canceled because the police like I'm not sure you're even allowed to have an event outside in 100 kilometer in our winds in France and there's been all these strikes and everything so Parani's canceled I've had a lot of cancellations ground communio stage and now Parani's and you know we'll have a.

Today's tomorrow which is the mount top finish I think Toronto Adria to go though that was also shortened the hill top finish well the mount top finish was probably 13 kilometers about 7% and there's like a lot of these mount top finishes and you'll see this in the

well to stage 4 up to Arkelis or Aaron's all or wherever where the ski resorts there's a lower parking area where the buses this space for buses the ski tourists and the cycling teams and then there's probably another 3 4 5 kilometers above there where there is some road up to the top.

That was where it was supposed to finish at the top they shortened it to the car park.

Is that why we for example see on like higher mountain finishes that the riders go to the finish.

And then they turn back and they go to the parking a bit lower.

Yeah like covered on for example remember when Rob which road past coups in the world of 21 that's what generally happens because there's no space.

I mean the two of France doesn't like to finish up there because it's they generally don't we to dome they might.

But in the well to you'll see it a lot more because they're like where let's find the most ridiculous go track possible and finish finish a race up there.

We're going to finish at the car park 10.8 K 7.3%.

Not as difficult not as long not good news for the pure climbers like Adam Jates and Rico mass record is.

Yeah sorry Adam Ricardo Jates.

Not good news for them good news for Roglic who destroyed everyone in the sprint yesterday it's a really hard stage beforehand.

Healy all day the problem also was.

Well I don't know if the CPA short and did or not on this stage because the delegate was Selvato and when Selvato is a CPA delegate.

Then stages get cancelled or shortened.

There could be an active volcano.
