Stage 1 of the Alula Tour today, David.

I know, it starts at 1230, we're all excited.

Yeah, well, we thought it would be water wall coverage,

which it deserves to be...

It deserves to be...

Just to punish the commentators.

I know.

Talking a witch?

You're off to the UAE tour? I know, I know, I know, I know I go to the UAE tour. I know I go to UAE tour my first time commentary. I don't, have I, no, you've never done anything in the Middle East commentary. You've been out there often enough. Guitar.

I did the guitar watch.

Oh, you did for the BBC.

I missed the bit.

Oh, go and tell that story.

So I was over to do the Chris Boardman couldn't do it because he normally does it for the BBC.

So they asked me to go across

Chris that's very more important yes they're more lucrative probably riding in Scotland and so

and so I went across there and obviously it's day all day coverage it was a painful race as you can

imagine in Qatar pan flat but it went out in this huge square they did like 100 K's

turned right and it was going to be crosswind at this point for about 30 k's and they're going to turn right and come back again.

And the thing about those races is the roads are dead straight.

Like 60 kilometers in one direction, right-hand turn, 60 kilometers in the other direction and the weather is entirely predictable.

Oh completely. You just look at it and you know pinpoint exactly what's going to happen.
