Summary
Another rolly day at the Tour de Suisse but with better weather this time. Would Mathieu van der Poel be able to go back to back or would Michael Matthews or Alaphilippe have something up their sleeve.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nassen. We're supported by Locoll. |
| 0:05.4 | This is the recap of Tour de Swiss stage three. Not as difficult yesterday, one that for Matthew |
| 0:12.4 | Van der Polle wouldn't, if you weren't, he was really eyeing our problem, trying to survive the last |
| 0:17.2 | climb yesterday. 182 Ks. The longest climb of the day is the Umbstala Strasse, 3.4 Ks at 6%, |
| 0:23.6 | it's up and down in average grade and then descent. And it's basically punchy climbs |
| 0:28.5 | for the last 30 Ks, also 25 Ks to the finish. And then, yeah, like a full flat drag uphill to |
| 0:36.4 | the finish. So no real, the longest climb before that is a start, which would help form the break. |
| 0:42.9 | So yeah, a pretty interesting profile, but certainly one that's perfect for riders like |
| 0:47.6 | Garcia-Boltina, Matthew Van der Polle, and Alaphilippe if it's super, super hard. |
| 0:54.8 | But yeah, Benji Brake did go as expected with, of course, the team Switzerland riders involved. |
| 1:00.0 | Yes, always, always, always. Claudio Invalve once again, the second time is in the |
| 1:03.8 | Brakeway this week. Same with a rally rider as well, wild car teams, so they want to show |
| 1:08.7 | themselves in the Brakeway as well. It was Benjamin King doing so, Remy Rosha for confidence, |
| 1:14.4 | and Matthews Franck, it's been a while since I've seen him at Arzela Mondial, Citroen, |
| 1:19.6 | or whatever, the order is that it's set in now. But all in all, this Brake wasn't going to do it |
| 1:24.4 | for men. They aren't going to make it today because some teams have settled themselves in the idea |
| 1:29.9 | that today is a say for their rider, and let's be real today is a day for their rider because one |
| 1:34.9 | of the teams was Abbasin, who wanted to win this stage with Van der Polle, and they were not |
| 1:40.6 | necessarily trying to get it to his sprint, because we saw them prepping something just before the |
| 1:46.4 | Almstalamstrasse, with the entire team at the front, Van der Polle sitting in a four-for-fifth wheel, |
| 1:51.9 | on that team basing hard towards the bottom of the climb, and it actually opened up on the climb, |
| 1:58.0 | because the last man before Van der Polle, Cassandra O'Murrisso was pushing pretty hard again, |
