Welcome back to the Latin Rouge Cycling Podcast presented by Join Cycling for the last of our double

Hedders, Parry Nies and Toreno Adriatico wrapping up today really exciting stage in Parry Nies and a sprint stage in Treno Adriatico so we'll start with the main

course Parry-Nise to remind you of the G.C. position going into the stage

Brena McNulty had a four second lead ahead of his compatriot Mateo Jorgensen on his Malisa bike.

Schielemozut was in third on 35 seconds, one second ahead of Raim Kuevenpool in fourth.

Plappasaurus was in fifth on Jekula on 47 seconds.

Roglich inth on 121 so a big gap from 5th to 6th and also probably

in ambitions from 4th to downwards because realistically the three people or four people

that could win this race would be Nolte Jorgensen, Schmelmo and Avonepal.

And yes, we'll talk about the arrest the top ten later but this before we get into the

stage profile Benji it's almost having that four second leads almost like a horrible

lead Benji going to this stage because it on one bonus sprint you can be gone

Yeah for certain and on one end you can also say okay being in a lead for a chaotic stage like this, not ideal because your team might have to clean up a lot of stuff that happens,

right as I try and get in the break, wait that are close in GC, stuff like that.

But on the opposite of that, I also feel like there's so many people close in

GC that have an active chance of winning this race that the UAE might not have to

solve that all the by themselves at the start. So I expected a Vismal to try and make sure no

quick step ride is getting the breakaway. A quick step rider maybe hoping a Vismar rider

doesn't get in there. Stuff like that. So in my head it wouldn't have to all come down to UAE in that breakaway. stuff like you said a few times

in that breakaway formation but like you said like we said a few times already

this last barone stage every single year

is pretty much a banger so I was hoping for something here today that
