Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nyson.

Now I pride myself on being honest with you all.

I've tried to do that throughout the Lantern Rouge YouTube channel and now this

podcast as well.

If you've got that stage recorded, the Twitter France,

stage three, if you've recorded the full stage,

you probably don't need to watch the whole thing.

You can probably just listen to what we're going to say and just

watch the highlights or the last one or two kilometers because honestly it's one of those stages that

broadcasters think about when they look at the audience metrics at the end of the year

and they think about because you've got to remember race organizers

they're trying to get as many eyeballs on the screen for as long as possible. That's their goal and they look at the numbers and it's

proven just about that stages like that where a break goes and pretty much nothing happens for four hours is not particularly interesting for the viewer.

Benji, what's your go-to activity to do when you've got the cycling on in the background and it's not a particularly interesting stage?

Well it kind of depends because at the moment when the races are on during the week I have to work so racing is basically on behind the scenes for me.

No, less, when it comes to things that I usually do,

I then to edit one of my own videos when he comes to YouTube or such or respond to comments or just

go ride my bike on Swift at the moment while watching the race or something.

Stuff like that because I do intend to watch the race even though it's a bit boring at certain points

but I tend to choose a primary activity at that same moment as well just to make sure I don't go mental during that stage.

Yeah I do the same thing I sort of flick through comments check Instagram or whatever I don't even. Maybe I go into a sort of dream state

because it's pretty late at night where I am. But anyway, onto the stage itself
