Welcome back to the Lanton Rouge Cycling Podcast brought to you by joined cycling our show partner for all the year including this tour of France for stage 7 the first time trial from Nue Saint George to Gervi, Jean Bertin.

Well, yeah, that was good for me, wasn't it?

25 kilometers long, about 10 meters of elevation gain per kilometer.

So I would say it is a hilly TT. It is a complicated TT and I think quite an interesting one.

We have maybe 10 kilometers of flat, 9.5 kilometers of flat.

There's an intermediate time check just before a first, the climb that really

is the main focus of this TT.

1,600 meters at 6.5%, pretty steady.

Then there's a hilly little plateau up to curly,

where there's the second intermediate time check,

then a pretty fast, I wouldn't say technical

descent frankly to Morrissant-Denis and then the last five and a half kilometers are rolling flat,

over 50 kilometers an hour territory much over into the finishing

gerbis shambotan but there is some technical corners through the the town

after the intermediate time check number three.

Yeah, anything else on the course bench?

I've never seen so many intermediate slap together.

Yeah, it's crazy the amount of intermediate sprints.

It's also, I would have rather had them like

signify specific segment of the of the stage so for example one at the start of the climb and at the end of

the climb so that we have a that we can see who was the fastest climb on course because now there's a bit of

flat in in between those two intermediate sprint so intermediate check so on paper
