0:00.0	Welcome back to Legend Rouge Cycling Podcast for our Vuelta, Spain.
0:03.8	Preview 2025, brought to you by our show partner, Joy in Cycling.
0:09.0	It is not actually the tour of Spain.
0:12.2	We are not doing a full lap of Spain despite what the name suggests.
0:17.0	We begin in Italy and we don't even go to the south of Spain. More on that in a second.
0:22.6	Of course we're going to do this as normal root reaction and discussion, the polemics associated
0:27.6	with that. G.C. riders, who are the favourites? What teams do they have? Are they team strong enough?
0:33.6	Are there mixed ambitions in those teams? Sprinters. Actually, I think you're going to have

1:11.6	No, that's not the actual reason. But let's just say that someone had to come this morning to
1:16.2	fix it and it didn't work. So I feel like when this podcast is over, I might be stuck in this office
1:20.5	again for the next hour until my wife can let me out, which is really sad.
1:26.1	What is the problem?
1:29.4	It doesn't work anymore.
1:30.8	It doesn't open.
