Welcome back to the Lantern Roos Cycling Podcast. The recap of stage six of the UAE tour brought to you by Morton.

This is the Jabal Heath, the final GC stage with no wind expected tomorrow. The climb, as you all know, is 10.6Ks at 6.9%. That's the average gradient, but the middle seven kilometers are around 8%.

It is a power climb.

So yes, Yates has the record, but Plaps done very well on this climb before, as well as, yeah, like a, not heavy, yeah, heavier G.C.

Like in the upper 60ss whereas the climb we had

earlier in the week was a pure watt per kilo test suiting the the low 60s guys like van

eight felt for example so a little bit different also the approach is like the first few k's

you know 5% no wind brake. Did you watch it, Benji?

You are commuted. I'm sorry. My formal apology is unprepared today. I saw Jabal Fian. I was

like so hyped that my microphone decided to cancel me out completely. But I didn't see break formation. I saw Jabalphi and I was like so hyped that my microphone decided to cancel me out completely.

But I didn't see break formation. I did see the eventual breakway that formed and there was some

fight in that breakway to have that breakaway form because it was a pretty solid breakaway. Eventually

it was seven riders when I started putting the broadcast on, including the likes of Stefan

Bissiger, Axel Huns, and Johann Jacobs

for Grupama, Tarling and Eksenberg, for Injell's Grenadiers, Mark Stewart, for I think

that's modern adventure, I'm not completely sure. Is that true or is that? Yeah, he's on a

adventure. And Gaffuri for Picnic Posternell. So a seven-man breakaway in this, this breakaway never really got a strong gap.

Even when I thought, okay, there's some break formation stuff happening, the gap was only

a minute by the time I really started following the race.

And if you know that the halfway to raise the gap is a minute, then it probably won't

grow that much towards the finish. Grew up to maybe two minutes in certain places but in the peloton there was controlled by

both uaee and also i'm pretty sure decafalon as well so quite a bit of control in that sense
