| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lenten Rouge Cycling Podcast for stage five of the Vuelta or Spain, a 24-kilometer TTT |
| 0:07.2 | around Figeres. We are in the birthplace and final resting place of Salvador Dali. |
| 0:15.0 | We begin at the Salvador Dali Museum with the eggs on top. |
| 0:19.4 | And we have a theatrical performance today from some teams, from protests, from weather |
