Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast presented by Zwift for the what is this stage five Benji the second and a half sprint that we've had first sprint was a reduced group because the crosswinds this is from al-Majan island to

al-Kawain that's how you say it 170 Ks honestly Benji asked yesterday for the wind experts would there be crosswinds not during the middle of the stage so really the last 15 Ks 20 Ks is where it was worth watching a little bit to flat stage the finish is like five Ks straight there are a few roundabouts before then also the finish was a little bit in part now

narrower than like the huge I swear some of the stages in like Abu Dhabi is on like a six lane highway the one of the ones that Ben at one with more quick step a couple of years ago but this was a little bit narrow and then opened up it we are not talking

Benji's the street outsiders house narrow they're still pretty wide roads from what I can see if you haven't checked it out by the way

the interview Benji did with Elisa Bolsimo former world champion classics god dropped today so go check that out as well in addition to this episode really interesting hearing about her experience on bulk car now at track sake of radio as well he didn't ask about gifting Benji really any

yeah I didn't ask about the gifting was like should I ask about questions probably shouldn't

pod necessarily because hey I'm not sure the thing we say is applicable to the stage dad being said this was a

typical way to say this was the kind of stage where I was like I'm not going to watch until the final of this race

and I hope that Twitter shouts loud enough if echelons happened and Twitter shouted long a lot enough when echelons happened with 17k to go I got a message
