Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling podcast presented by Zwift for the Vuelta our Sun one

Total recap. We just watched the last stage a

2.pro race in Argentina all the special teams had been flown out to go there. I think

otherwise it makes no sense why

Remko even appalled the world champion was there, but we also had some

Miguel and El Lopez there who obviously had his contract terminated by

Astana is now on team Medellin. He was one of the big favorites for the race which

was not the most entertaining parkour I've ever seen in my life. Literally six sprint stages no TT.

One of the sprint stages finished on an auto drone. That's cool I guess and then one

long ass highway climb up to Alto del Colorado which was like false flat for a lot of it. So yeah it was

why they take a TT out I guess to be honest the TT didn't add much Benji because they had it as

non TT likes anyway so yeah what is the point of it at that point? Yeah I think the reason wasn't

the that the level between the teams was so significant that as a consequence we noticed that

the yeah the teams were just so different when it comes to their level and because of that they

had to put in that rule that normal road bikes would be used for that. So time trial bikes not

happening so I guess it might as well just take it out. So again mostly sprints on the menu and

stage one was a sprint stage San Juan de San Juan which is something that happens in the

Volta San Juan. A stage that is completely flat. It was going to come down to a sprint and let's

be honest it was a sprint. Quick steps splits in half during that leadout as in Remco goes on the

left side of the road Yarkups and follows and on the right side is the rest of the train and

therefore Yarkups and his out of contention and we see a perfectly leadout above on poplin San

Ben it is the winner of the stage like what was like the key moment you see in this first stage?
