0:00.0	Breaking up is never easy, but saying goodbye to your old clunky work tools, well, that's easy.
0:06.0	Just repeat after me. It's not me, it's definitely you, you rigid, unfriendly software.
0:13.1	It's time to freshen things up with Monday.com.
0:16.1	The first work platform you'll love to use, With stunning dashboards, customizable templates, and
0:22.2	built-in AI that actually works, switching to a new work platform has never felt this good.
0:27.8	So move on to Monday.com. Welcome back to Lanchon Rouge Cycling Podcast for the recap of
0:35.3	Stage 20 of the Tour de France the transition station normally
0:39.3	stage 20 is it's been a t-tee it's been a mountain stage or it's been something else but a transition
0:44.2	stage like this is usually stage 18 or 19 and it's a hard one 3,000 meters of climbing over 184
0:50.4	kilometers long we have a few category fours category three and the hardest climb of the day is the Cote de Tese. It's about 60Ks from the finish. Three and a half Ks, 9%.

1:23.0	trying to control it.
1:24.2	In the third week of a grand tour before Paris tomorrow, absolutely zero chance.
1:27.8	So it was a 100% breakaway. And, well, Trek didn't get to control again, Benji, because
1:35.9	the intermediate sprint was finally after a climb, which, by the way, I think there needs
1:39.6	to be more of next year. I don't understand why every single IS this year was before a climb.
1:45.5	Yeah, it's very sprinter focused then, because if you have it after climb one or climb two,
1:49.8	then it might lean towards a rider that can get over the climb and get the intermediate sprint
1:54.0	afterwards in the sense of a Walthanard and old school Peters again, stuff like that, and now it's
1:58.7	very focused on the more pure sprinters,
2:01.1	which benefits the likes of Yonatan Milan, which, then they also have to control break
