Summary
Pogacar is a miner, Ganna is superman, Bisseger is better than you think and a ghost hit Tiberi. All that and more in this recap of the second stage of the UAE Tour 2021, a 13km flat, twisty ITT which would shake up the GC standings ahead of the big mountain top test up Hafeet tomorrow in Stage 3.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Naisen and to the recap of UAE |
| 0:05.0 | Tour 2021 Stage 2, the individual time trial. Thank you to Le Cole for supporting us, our show partner. |
| 0:13.6 | They've been with us all of last year, just about after the tour, they're with us for the |
| 0:17.7 | giro and then the Vuelta. If you want to check out their performance cycling apparel, you can |
| 0:22.8 | check it out at www.le Cole.cc. They bring out some new essentials kit. I know you're going into |
| 0:31.9 | autumn and winter Benji. I don't even know if you have more than two seasons in Belgium, |
| 0:38.0 | but so Benji and I always get in different kits at different times. So if you want to check out |
| 0:43.3 | their winter essentials kit, get yourself ready for winter. Oh no, that's me. I'm confused with |
| 0:49.6 | the time zones again, Benji. I live my life as if I'm in India. You're going into summer, yeah. |
| 0:55.8 | Anyway, I'll get the winter kit. Benji can get the summer kit, but it's still basically summer |
| 1:00.7 | here in Australia. I'm sweating, I'm sweating pretty badly, but yeah, link in the description. |
| 1:06.5 | I'm going to check out Le Cole's stuff. On to UAE Tour 2021 Stage 2, 13 kilometer ITT |
| 1:14.3 | at Houdai, Houdai area at Ireland. Fourth time at that, even in the preview podcast, still struggling. |
| 1:23.1 | 13K is pancake flat, round like a bike circuit. Lots of turns. A couple where they actually have |
| 1:31.2 | to stop pedaling, especially as zigzag or as you can close to the finish line too. One into |
| 1:36.5 | immediate checkpoint. Six Ks to the finish about halfway through. Who were the big favorite or |
| 1:43.0 | favorites for today, Benji? Was there anyone else that could win? You weren't wrong when you said |
| 1:48.7 | favorite. I think we all knew from the moment that the rain started, that there was only the situation |
| 1:55.8 | in which Ghana won or the situation in which Ghana didn't win. And the situation in which Ghana |
| 2:02.7 | didn't win was almost nonexistent in my eyes unless he crashes or anything or has an extremely |
| 2:08.2 | bad day. But we haven't seen that too often. It's been such a change in cycling that about a year |
| 2:14.0 | and a half ago, the days where the Tony Martin hype was gone when Ken Shlara was already retired. |
