0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for the preview of the Tour de France Farm Avex with 2025.
0:07.0	We had the victory of Cassia Niviodoma last year.
0:10.6	The addition last year was a cracker.
0:13.2	It was better to watch than the men's tour de France.
0:16.3	I would say the High Mountain Queen stage was one of the best stages in all of cycling last year,
0:23.5	and we've got high mountains again.
0:25.7	We've got even bigger guns back at the start line.
0:29.2	And we have a more competitive balance, Benji,
0:31.7	than I think both of us anticipated before,
0:35.0	then at the start of the season,
0:36.2	I think if you polled Benji and I in January
0:39.1	and said, what's the probability of Demi Volering and FDJ Sue as cleaning this up, we would
0:44.6	have said 90%, well, I would have at least, and I don't feel that way right now.
0:49.8	She's still the favourite, but I don't feel that way right now, Benji.

So I want to start out by like setting the stakes, like we did at the Mens tour of France preview, also for this one. And then I go back to the entire first to the France farm of Zwift, where we saw Annamic von Vlutton winning ahead of Dami Vohring, and back then it was Annamic von Vleuton who was on the throne as the best GC rider in women's cycling. And then that shifted towards the TDF 2023, where Anamik van Vulton gets dethroned, doesn't even podium the race, and it's Dami
1:27.5	Voling completely dominating the race, and her climbing performances in that race were a lot better
1:33.2	than the competition, as simple as that. So there's one thing I do want to mention. Throughout these two
1:39.0	Tour de France, as 2022, 2023, there's a Polish rider on the podium, Kachan Nivialdoma, consistently riding
1:45.9	well at the Tour de France film of Zwift.
1:48.5	Then we go towards 2024, and that's where, that's the one you're talking about.
1:53.2	The Tour de France dad was very good last year with that epic finale, and I can't neglect
2:00.0	the fact that I still think Dami Volering wins that race with
