| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Lantern Rooch Cycling Podcast. |
| 0:02.3 | The recap of the Tour de France 2026 route presentation. |
| 0:06.3 | It was revealed in Paris in cyclonic conditions yesterday. |
| 0:11.8 | If you were at the Pord Mayo, Pond Mayo, whatever it's called, to get to the Pallé de Congre, |
| 0:18.7 | there was like 100km an hour winds which was I was thinking |
| 0:22.6 | maybe it would be good to have a classics race on these cobble streets right now that didn't happen |
| 0:27.7 | there were a few riders there not enough riders to actually form some sort of race but as always we're |
| 0:34.4 | going to go over the route compare it to this year's route, |
| 0:38.6 | or a normal Twitter France route that we've all watched the last few years |
| 0:42.5 | and discuss the wild cards a little bit because there was a, maybe it's a red herring, |
| 0:49.3 | maybe it's a sign about which team is going to get the discretionary invite next year, |
| 0:53.1 | and then we're going to go through the stage by stage. And, yeah, I'm going to pick winners. I'm going to pick winners for every |
| 1:00.6 | stage eight months in advance. And if I get some right, yeah, actually getting a pog one is not |
| 1:07.1 | that hard. It's always terrifying because on one end, we know that Bogachoaccio is very likely going to show up for this Tudor France 2026 unless something happens in a route to run up to the Tudor France, but we don't want that to happen, of course. On the other hand, you've got Jonas Vingegovina, Adenkuyne Poo, Toran Lipovits, the Redibu Bordor Hanzglo situation. We don't know the exact intricacies |
| 1:29.0 | of which writers are going to show up, but we'll try our best to do so. But if we had to guess, |
| 1:33.1 | Patrick, then I would say that Jonas is expected to write Jiro Tour in my head. I don't know how |
| 1:41.4 | that's going to affect the Stodafronts, etc. On the other hand, when it comes to Bora, I don't want to spoil the parkour presentation here |
| 1:49.0 | too much, but I see a parkour that actually fits Leipovitz. |
| 1:54.0 | I actually don't really know who this parkour suits. |
| 1:57.0 | I would say almost Roglidge, because nothing happens most of the time and there's some sprints and a TT that he'd be good at 2025 Rogglish or peak Rogglish? Peak Rogglish yeah. If Roglish got this route in 2020 he'd be laugh, it'd be great. Big Rogledge isn't here anymore, I think. |
| 2:19.4 | Fair enough. |
| 2:20.0 | Yeah, I guess it suits... |
