| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lenten Rouge Cycling Podcast for Tour de France Stage 18, the Queen stage of the race, |
| 0:05.4 | the hardest stage of the race, maybe the last chance saloon for Jonas Fingard to make up his four minutes on Tade Pagacca. |
| 0:12.6 | And this episode is brought to you by Pillar Performance. They're always here with us during the Grand Tours. |
| 0:19.0 | But today's stage Benji, 172 kilometers long, pretty long. |
| 0:23.3 | So a lot of the stages last year in Mount Stage was like 130. |

| 1:04.5 | climb to La Lowe's. It's the quote-unquote easier side, 26.5K, 6.4%. |

| 1:19.3 | big road regular, pretty much. Then it's 8Ks 5.5%. Again, big road through Corchavelle. |
