Welcome back to the lunch on Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nison.

Here is our World Championship's Freeview.

You'll have to forgive us.

We're coming to you pretty much after it's already started, but it's a condensed season, it's a condensed schedule and we still got to get it out.

The women's individual time trial is taking place as we speak.

Chloe Diet for an hour and co haven't rolled off yet. It's about two-thirds the way through.

We'll still talk about our pigs because they're not looking at the results.

Maybe we'll do the T. T. T. T. T. T.s at the end of the pod, men's and women's T.T.'s and the you're going to start with the men's road race, then do the

women's road race second.

And yeah, we're going to intro the route, parcoeur, the favorites, strongest teams, what we think tactically might be the best

options for various teams and yeah try to do as full a preview as possible how

exciting as this snuck up on you Benji I feel like with the route change as

well it's been the kind of under the radar that the

world champs is suddenly upon us like five days after the tour finished.

The other thing that's indeed a bit sneaking up on us, but in the end we're diving really

hard into cycling at the moment with this podcast and I feel like I'm pretty on point

with the current schedule of the next two or three weeks but I do notice that when I'm talking about who's favorites for the Giro and such that I mingle them with the people that are going to the classics and I often forget that the

classics are during the geo so that's impossible to write both of them and yeah

calendar-wise it's really hard a season but in the end I don't mind it because more cycling in a condensed

period I certainly like that and with all the change in Park Hall it was a bit of a

mystery where we would end up yeah so I've forgotten the parkour for Martinie already I think

Martinie had longer climbs that was the original location for the world
