Welcome back to the Cyclentous Podcast, I'm Kayley Fretz. It is Monday, March 7th.

Should you just pretend that it's actually Tuesday, March 8th since that's the day the podcast actually comes out.

We can do that.

It's Tuesday.

It's Tuesday, March 8th by the time

you're actually listening to this.

And we have a lot to talk about. We've got Strada Bianchi.

It happened last weekend. We're going to dig into both the men's race, which

ended up being, while impressive,

more of a time trial than a road race in the end.

And the women's race, which was one of the best bike races

I think we've seen in a very long time.

So actually we we probably kick off

with the women's race this week.

We're also gonna chat about Perrinise

and the just ridiculous, ridiculous showing

from Yumbo Vizma in stage one.

Made their own little team time trial thing and then cross wins in stage two

And we are going to update you on how the cycling world is reacting to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

There's been a lot going on.

We've been doing some reporting on this. There's also just a lot of sort of stories flying around.

As I promised last week, we are going to dig into this on somewhat regularly.
