Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast for La Vuelta, Espania, Los Milventes, Cuatro.

Preview of the route or recap of the route reveal it was in Madrid this week.

Thanks to, I'm glad they did it because usually they actually do it in January, so it's out even earlier.

We're starting in Portugal, in Lisbon, going into the middle of Portugal before a decent transfer on stage after stage three into the extra mile.

Dura, which is like the western Madrid, kind of not, I think they're about a hoch, which is about a hoch. It's a difficult one to pronounce.

It was like Peninsula war had to be battled there in the 1800s. Head south to walled Sevilla and quarter by an Andalusia, and then Granada, up the Santa Cazola before another big transfer after stage nine to Galicia, where there's so many stages of the north of Spain.

Galicia and the Asturias and the Cazuleleon, Bertagos, not so much in the bass country, actually only the Toria Gas Stys, which I think is like on the border of the bass country, is the only stage really in the bass country, mostly near like Zaragoza, the last couple of stages.

A different route, it changes every year, like olds and evens has a conspiracy theory that like even years has a bad route, nothing in Catalonia, not much in bass country, nothing in Valencia, Alicante, nothing in the Pyrenees, first reaction, Benji.

I feel like the organization last year must have felt okay, this is starting Barcelona completely cursed, we also met Patrick and Andora completely cursed, because they wait five and a kilometer from that place for the entire delta, because look at the map, that's exactly what they're doing.

Stay away from from Barcelona area and from the Andora area this time around then, that's not necessarily bad that they switch around, so I'm enjoying it and I do like the pick on Blanco, Burgos era and so forth, so that held that whole space fits in a very well, and when it comes to the park war, I'm not necessarily blown away, because I feel like there's no real climb where I'm like, boom, that's the kind of epic climb that I'm always looking forward to.

But there's some interesting ones I already mentioned become Blanco where I was like, I like that climb, I just feel like there's only a few stages where you can really go from far out and go into that in the exact stages, I think if my name was a sprinter, if I may pure sprinter and I'm probably not willing to start this delta.

Hello, a sprint one thing. Hello, spring. Thank you.

Yeah, the welteroo, how do you go and legit said, fuck them sprinters?

It's not a good route for sprinters. It is a good route for versatile sprinters and it, yeah, it grows, I think, can get around a fair few of these two.

Patterson or Patterson or Vanart, so it is, there's not, there's not nothing for them.

Yeah, it's just a little trick preview and we're like, he said it wasn't much up with the races he should do, but I think it's an interesting, I initially looked at it and I was like,

like that.

Formerly stage last year was so good, like attacks on the descent of the Obisque before Span Del and action there.

That was a really good stage.

The angleroo was always delivers.
