Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast, presented by Zwift for Tarantla Adriatic Stage 7.

The final stage, now maybe if they reverse the parkour, it would be a little bit more interesting

as the final stage for GC. This used to be the opening time trial. They'd finish here

in the opening time trial. Maybe it was the final time trial. But now it's the sprint stage.

155K is medium mountain in the first half and then the last half they go up and down the

c front on the flat, which is great stuff. In San Benadetto del Tronto. Now those mountains at the

start could be used. Dynase said after the stage that he and DSM, they really wanted to make it

more difficult for artists like Philips and Granavegan Jakobsen and have more of a reduced sprint.

But the other teams were sort of letting his will go and eventually a decent enough

brake form Benji. Yes, certainly. We had in the brakeway, no hospital,

so much is there. Onore from EF Education first. We had Fortunato from Aeolo, Socarato,

Nadora, Italian pro team rider, Arminai, Vandenabele, Fiddle and Artur Klukers. Klukers,

one of those guys that are pretty talented, Luxembourg guy that ended up signing for Tudor.

But anyway, this brake was up the road and it's a large brakeway, so it's going to take a bit

more riders to control, but there's enough teams here that won the sprint now. You've got so many

sprinters that haven't gotten their victory yet. Granavegan wants his team to chase a bit,

because they always chase on any possibility for a sprint stage, which I probably enjoy.

Next to that, quick steps of team that won the sprint. We've got Alpasin who won the sprint.

We've got DSM who wants to make it a bit hard. So as a consequence, they're also making

it tough for this brakeway. So there's so many sprint teams that won something out of the stage

that eventually this brake would be getting caught. But it took a bit long, I would say, but maybe

that's a calculated thing, eh? Maybe the peloton knows, oh, we don't necessarily need to go
