0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lanthen Rouge Cycling Podcast with stage 17 of this Twitter France where there is no let-up it is all-out racing except for some of the sprint stages but on the non- sprint stages it's all-out racing every day from kilometer zero to the finish from
0:14.6	Saint-Paul Trotixateau to super-de-Louis, 178k's the first 138k's don't have a single categorized climb or even like a 2
0:25.4	kilometer 4% climb and then there's the coal bayard 7k 7% about a 20 minute
0:32.0	climb short descent, a little plateau and a cold de noir, 7.6k is 8%, which is also, you know, it's quite difficult, there's bonus seconds, 8,5 and 2 on the top of that.
0:44.3	And then the finish is actually not that difficult.
0:47.6	Another short descent of about six, seven kilometers
0:51.1	and then a kick up to the line in Super Dev Louise.
0:54.7	So 4K6% to finish with a flat finish, not actually that hard.
0:58.5	And it's one of the last breakaway opportunities.
1:03.0	Everyone's been saying,

1:08.0	and but the problem for the break is this flat start.
1:11.0	It's so, it's just so tough for it to form there's no
1:15.2	little category three client to split it and get a carapas nicely in the break and
1:19.9	away you go. Exactly and yes there's 130 kilometers of it but we've seen so many
1:26.0	breakaway formation phases that took a lot a long time in this race and then
1:29.7	the the ticking clock starts as well because then you're thinking okay if you're UAE and if the breakaway takes half a stage to form at what point do you say to yourself oh we might as well try and start controlling it for a pull- stage when spoilers today they did not end up doing that.
1:46.3	But there was loads of stuff that did happen in today's stage and I would say that a lot of today's stage,
1:52.1	I'll say it differently. I think today's stage won't necessarily
1:55.8	be the most memorable, but there was so much action and it was honestly a great viewing experience
2:02.1	from start, almost to finish, maybe 10%, 15% of the race, I would say, is skip worthy, but the rest was definitely worth watching.
