0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge cycling podcast with Benji Nyson. We're back in the swing of
0:04.6	things. We once again have our web cams working. This has been on our short list or I mean it's a
0:11.2	short long list or a long short list of off-season topics to cover. I've been trying to avoid it
0:17.1	because I know that the internet is going to roast me for what I'm going to say in this podcast
0:21.9	and Benji's been reminding me on a weekly, sometimes daily basis that we need to cover this.
0:27.8	We're covering who is the best male time trial rider in the world and I think this is a pretty
0:33.4	contentious one from our perspective. Obviously the best female time trial rider in the world
0:38.8	is Chloe Diagot. She's proved that over short and long distances and we're going to see that next
0:44.4	year. Hopefully she's back to full fitness. But this could be a pretty spicy one, some conjecture,
0:50.3	some speculation, some what if some goalposts moving from me. Look at how you own Benji.
0:56.5	What up green screen would you like me to put for you today? Cobblestones or what do you want?

1:08.3	you decided to go for a French Cobbl section of all of those and get at least a choice of
1:14.0	How could you tell the French Cobblestones? I'll do it. You see that. You see that.
1:21.2	Okay, Benji can recognize my novels. It's a bit weird. I just watched the Australian India T20
1:28.8	terrible bowling plan from Australia with the short third manball and what a subtle stumps.
1:33.3	So I'm pretty depressed. Hopefully that doesn't come through in the podcast too much. Probably
1:38.3	releasing this later in the week. Benji has literally no idea what I just said. But just to introduce
1:44.6	this, who's the best time trial rider in the world? We're going to do this in a more sophisticated
1:48.9	manner than just who won the World Championships. They must be the best time trial rider in the world.
1:54.6	That's not I think the right question just like just because somebody wins a grand tour or
2:01.2	wins particular race necessarily means they're the best in that category of rider. So we're looking
