| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast, stage three of the Tour de France, |
| 0:04.0 | the first sprint stage. We've been sort of blessed with the two exciting stages to open up the race |
| 0:09.8 | and now we've got the traditional sprint stage. It was quite difficult actually from Amara |
| 0:13.7 | Bieta, Etchana to Béon, which is just north of Béritz. I'll be going on holiday there shortly, |
| 0:19.6 | actually, so I was checking out the coastline 194 Ks. I really thought there was a chance to |
| 0:25.0 | break to go all the way today, but with 4K, 5.7% climb, 2,500 meters of climbing and up and down |
| 0:32.7 | all day, but the last categorised climb was with 91 kilometres to go, so yeah, it might have been |
| 0:39.9 | too easy to control for the rest of the race. But yeah, when the break formed, Benji, we used |
| 0:45.2 | surprise that nobody really cared, that it was only a couple of teams that wanted to jump in the |
| 0:52.5 | breakway. Well, on one end, Paulus is an expected rider to go in the breakway, because he wants to |
| 0:58.0 | once again secure KWM points and therefore secure some more safety in that classification. He's |
| 1:03.5 | likely a rider that should be able to do quite well on the later terrain in the KWM points as well, |
| 1:08.0 | so it's not like he's only good at the early ones like Ford last year. So that's something |
| 1:12.4 | beneficial for him to show another rider that went in the breakway and it's shocking that it's |
| 1:16.8 | an only two rider breakway. Maybe there were other pushes and other attempts for larger breakways |
| 1:21.2 | to concede, but there's so many teams, so many sprinter teams that are like, oh, I don't want |
| 1:26.4 | the big breakway. So they're going to try and catch every single one that's six, seven plus riders. |
| 1:31.2 | So I think that's a major effect to why we only have a two-man breakway here. The matter is that |
| 1:36.9 | so many sprinter teams just want to sprint. Yeah, I was surprised, though, your case. The break |
| 1:42.2 | isn't a big problem, so you don't have to put a rider to chase. If you're Israel or if you're |
| 1:47.3 | into Marseille, I would say that doesn't mean others teams couldn't have played this stage differently, |
| 1:54.5 | and I'll pick out a few of them. So a young bow are not going to chase, and they're not going to |
