0:00.0	The
0:07.0	Oh, Well, here we are.
0:28.3	It's another week of life in the Peloton, and I've got a great episode coming up.
0:33.7	It's a bit of a mailbag, but it's a semi-slash talking to a good friend of mine, Tom Southern.
0:39.6	Welcome, Lionel. Great to talk to you again on Life in the Peloton. How are you, mate?
0:43.8	I'm good, thanks, Mitch. Yeah, I've just finished our Giro over on the cycling podcast. Myself,
0:49.2	Richard Moore and Daniel Frebe produced 23 podcasts in 23 days, pretty much standard grand tour coverage for us.
0:57.2	But without a race going on, we had to be a little bit creative and tell some stories from
1:02.3	the Giro's past, the distant past and also the most recent past. And in the midst of that,
1:08.2	Mitch, your episode fitted absolutely perfectly with everything we were putting out because if you listeners haven't already caught up on your last episode of Life in the Peloton, I would urge them to go back and listen to the last one.
1:20.4	It told the story of the team time trial, the build-up to the team time trial in Belfast in 2014 for the Orica Greenedge team, which you, of course, Mitch, were part of. And you won the team time trial in Belfast in 2014 for the Orica Green Edge team which you of course Mitch were
1:28.6	part of and you won the team time trial that day and the episode I mean the feedback we've had
1:34.0	from the listeners who have tuned into it has been absolutely amazing I've been so pleased to see
1:39.7	that people loved the way that you spoke to your ex-teammates and the way that our producer
1:44.8	Will Jones put the episode together. It's a real ensemble piece that tells the story of a memorable
1:50.0	weekend for the team. Yeah, I tell you what, I was a driving forceer in that team's time trial
1:54.7	and we get to hear about all the writers. And it's just a great thing. One thing I noticed with that time trial is, well, that whole Gero, every time I see those
2:05.6	guys and for the years after, that was the one Gero or the one race that we always spoke
2:11.0	about.
2:11.6	And that's why it just came to me straight up.
2:14.1	I need to get the guys to talk about this Giro.
2:16.5	It's the one memory that we always talk about.
