Welcome back to the Cyclotist Podcast, everybody. This is a very special

tour of Flanders edition of the podcast. It's not Monday, it's Thursday, March 31st, and this is going to be popping up on Friday just ahead of the racing this weekend.

This is a preview episode where we want to talk through the contenders throughout the weather, everything that is going to affect what's going on at the bike race this weekend.

And to do so, we've got some special guests Ronan and our newest

cycling tips edition Johnny Long are in where are you guys in Belgium actually

Ghent? Yes in Ghent just by just right underneath the motorway which is what you see on all the postcards of

Ghent in Belgium. Is it the E3 by any chance?

That's a very good point.

I think it's an E17 is it?

Good question.

No, it's definitely the E17.

I know the E17 well.

Many, many a trip on the E17 from Ghent down to

we're actually right between the E17 and the E40 oh that's a

special location beautiful spot in Ghent.

Well, this feels kind of like a very abrupt and weird way to introduce Johnny.

You've probably seen his byline on the site already.

He'll be popping in and out of the podcast as well. We're going to kind of skip over the formalities here and just and just drop straight into an episode I think is probably the best thing to do. But Johnny, really briefly, I don't know, introduce yourself. Where do you come from and what are you doing at Sechn the Tips now? Where do I come from is an easier question. I'm from London, fairly dull. Now I'm in Ghent, very cold here.

I've met Ronan, he's managing to drive a higher car around despite having a broken leg, which I feel like the fact that he's managed to do that, then everything else is going to go well.

Everything else will be easy.

I got to, I catch you a manual for the for rubay is that going to work running at your own

risk it's not my credit card let's get into this episode we've also of course got
