Summary

LR and Benji recap the stage one of Tour de Romandie, which is actually after the prologue which does not count as stage one at all. Very confusing for Lanterne's small brain but he had to soldier on with this recap nonetheless. A strong headwind in the finale meant the advantage would be for the sprinters remaining in the group, but who among them would take out this World Tour level stage win?

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Naisen, powered by LeCole,
0:05.8	our show partner, this is the Tour de Romain, the stage one, even though we had a prologue,
0:11.1	so Cycling is the ground level Benji in Belgium, zero, ground or one, I know it differs in other
0:18.7	countries, in an elevator, you know, there's sort of things, the existential questions we need to
0:23.9	consider should a prologue be one, zero, we think one. Anyway, LeCole just brought out a
0:30.3	Stelvio and volunteer kit for summer in Europe, they look absolutely sick, go and check them out
0:37.1	if you're interested in getting some summer jerseys. But onto this stage, 169 Ks, they do a circuit
0:44.3	of two climbs mainly, there's the last climb at the start, but the two main climbs are the produee
0:49.4	and Shamosal, they're joined together, the first one, the produee, 2.7 Ks is 7%, then they descend
0:55.6	into the Shamosal 2.1 Ks, it's 6.2%, no real steep pinches, they look like narrow vineyard roads,
1:03.0	quite scenic actually from A to a martini, and between these climbs was about 30 kilometers of
1:10.1	flat and after the last climb, we had 22, 23 kilometers of flat, there was significant
1:19.6	headwind on the stage, which affected it a lot, we were thinking there could be, not thinking,
1:25.3	there would be that possible, there could be attacks on those climbs, but how did the stage
1:30.3	play out Benji? Basically, we started off with a Brankway, and the Brankway was relatively powerful,
1:38.4	we had the likes of Diego Yolisi, hasn't been that great this season so far, but he had a, I think,
1:43.7	a hard issue at the start of the season, if our goal correctly, and Bowaro was in there as well,
1:48.5	Robert Bauer, Konsha for a trek, if our goal correctly, and then Arun's Mon for DSM with Joel Sutter,
1:55.9	who is representing the Swiss national team here, you've got the option, if you're Swiss and you're
2:02.0	not on the start list of another team at a race like Roman, you've got the opportunity,
2:08.5	well, if you're selected by national team to ride for your national team here, so that's pretty
2:12.9	cool if you didn't know that, but that's how he got in there, when it comes to this Brankway,
