| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for a double header brought to you by Morton. |
| 0:06.0 | It's a big mountain stage today. You need big fueling like the pros. We have a double header, as I said, with the Tour de France Farm, Avex, we have to Queen Stage. The hardest, Gabrielle informs me, this is the hardest ever mountain top finish used in women's cycling history. |
| 0:21.9 | I'm going to take him at a lot. I mean, and the Madeline is no joke. We've also going to do |
| 0:26.7 | San Sebastian afterwards, which was also a fantastic watch. So a beautiful Saturday of racing. |
| 0:32.4 | And we'll start with the women's race. Before the stage started, Kim, LeCourt Penar, KLCP, had come into the, |
| 0:41.0 | it is in the yellow jersey by about 30 seconds on Ferron-Provo. Ferron-Provo, |
| 0:45.6 | van der Beggen, Nuvia Doma, Volering are separated by a matter of bonies. |
| 0:49.3 | They've been inseparable pretty much throughout the race up to this point. |
| 0:53.7 | KLCP and AG Insurance Sudal, they are very well aware from interviews yesterday, Benji. |
| 0:58.5 | They were quite open in saying that Gigante would be their best climber today. |
| 1:03.8 | They did. |
| 1:04.4 | And they said yesterday, I think it was Kim LeCorpina herself saying something along the lines of. |
| 1:08.9 | I'm literally quoting it, so I shouldn't say something along the lines. The literal quote was, I don't think the others realize what's coming. |
| 1:15.4 | This was in a discussion. The others meaning everyone except Vowlering, because in that article |
| 1:20.0 | by in the latest try, which is a Dutch website, it was pretty clear that they saw Vowling as |
| 1:25.2 | the big competitor in this race. And then we also saw |
| 1:28.5 | quotes from Stan Stills that saying that she could take minutes on other riders that are not |
| 1:34.1 | called Demi Voling on this climb. So they were confident in Sarah Gigante. Let's be honest, |
| 1:40.0 | we were too. Yesterday we were like, okay, Saragigante has been disrespected by the competitors in this race, dropped numerous times in the sense, never a team went to the front and started hammering it. Voting crashed a couple days ago. Would that have influences on our climbing today? We'd see about that. But also in general, how would FDJ play it? How would AG insurance try to control everything that's thrown towards them today? |
| 2:01.2 | Because Patrick, you spoke about Cote La Madelaine being part of this stage here, but it's not the only climb in today's stage, because we start with a climb of 13.3 kilometers at 6.3% from the get-go, out of neutral, the cold de plan palais, and then a descend, which |
| 2:19.6 | danger warning for Giganti, although this was not the most technical descent, then a bit of a flat |
| 2:25.4 | segment towards a small climb, the cold du friend, 2.4k and 5.5%. But that has a 12-kilometer descent, |
