Welcome back to the Lanton Rouge Cycling Podcast for the Welther-Espania stage. Let me check.

11 from a technological campus back to the technological campus. They do relapse at the finish line,

including at the end.

And they don't actually finish inside the technological campus,

which was a little bit disappointing.

I thought, 167Ks with two hills at the start, then they basically do a circuit which with four different

climbs. They do 10 K's 4%, cat 2, then a 5.6k.6% climb but it's steeper in the middle

or 2k is 11% at the start they go around do that again we got some flat valley where there's the finish line another descent then a 4

4% hill on a big road and pretty fast roads it seemed like in the north

here another descent and then the final decisive climb 2.8%

9.2% that's about a

uh an 8 minute climb

maybe 7 minute climb if my mouth is correct and it's steep in paths as well it's irregular

it's 11% for a beard and over steeper than that and then a faster scent and then a flat 3 4k so the finish

it looked like a mini world champs we had some more abandonment

Benji do we not this morning yeah basically over the last few weeks we've had a few riders with heat strokes, but also a few riders with COVID as well going into, well, coming out of the races. And if we take a look at the list of this morning, if it decides to load on me then we've got

Harper not finishing but not starting was Rolta Conrad and Arensman

I already struggled with heat stroke earlier this week but it was COVID related that he left the

race together with Conrad as well COVID related so COVID is still spurring in the

peloton unfortunately but outside of that if we take a look at the parkour itself off today like it's quite a few climbs in there

But it looked more like a breakaway stage than a

Will see GC action from far although we expected an attack from one rider on the final climb, no?
