- We'll just finish with going back to Sigrid.

For her to pull that off to obviously, you know, I have the nose of the race

and the instinct of the race to get in that move

then go away. But for her to drag race, a lot of Capackie, one of the strongest women in the world. - It was awesome.

- That was never once looking back, never once.

- No. - Full send, full send, Sigrid. - Where's that yellow with that? - She gets all three. The boom stick, the sea of the douges

and the move of the day. - The sea of the douges. - She totally did say sea of the douges. (upbeat music) - And we are, well, there's my volume.

- Hello. - Hi. - Hello everybody. We're back. We're back.

Welcome back to the move. I don't know if y'all caught that. And the lead in there, shout out to Colton for change in the colors. On ladies, got the pink up there.

- It's a good thing. I love it. - Where everything's, everything's start. Just to see you know, it takes a couple days. Our friends of peacock, they got the ride.

It's no longer. Those two guys. - Yeah, we don't like that. - Bradley and George. - Nice guys.

- Yeah, yeah, we finally dressed it up.

Got y'all on the thumbnail there. So thank you everybody. We are talking about stage three and the party has officially started. - Yeah.

- Now, what do we do? - Stage three from Jeanève to Boulini. - I'm Jeanève. - Now we're talking about that. - That's so French.

- Well, 10 out of 10, as far as I'm concerned, I loved, I loved that stage. I loved everything about this rider who none of us had on our radar. - Nope.

- No. - We just became our top three fans though. Sorry, family. - See you at fancloths. - See Chris.

I'm upset. - Yeah. - What, I mean, what a great ride. She went in the break away with 113 kilometers to go. She goes solo with 95 kilometers to go

for you folks at home. That's what, yeah, 55-ish miles. Longest solo break away in the history of the Tour de France Famous, thanks one. Mike Drop.

- I definitely didn't call that. - No. - It was super impressive. - Yeah, she was being hunted down. - That's the best part.

- By Lotta Capecci, world champion, former world champion, hunted down. - 10 seconds. - Second seconds. - Yeah.

- I mean, we thought it was over at that point. - Yeah. I mean, we were, and look, hats off to Lotta Capecci. I mean, she, the main field or what was left of it, let her go, and she just started this pursuit.

This day where they were both time trial and it got down to 10 seconds.

I mean, I think if there was live betting,

there's no way we take that bet. - No. - There is a zero percent chance, and she not only held her off, but, you know, as it got to 10 seconds, then she started to ride it.

It was unbelievable. - Yeah, so it was impressive. Like, when Lotta Capecci was chasing her down, the first minute came quick, 'cause it was a two and a half minute gap.

The first minute came super fast, and then they held it about a minute and a half gap for a long time. And it just seemed like Capecci just dug super deep to get up to her and got to that 10 seconds.

And more power got to see her that she didn't give up at that point. When it was 10 seconds, and you know that she's right there and for her to decide I'm gonna keep riding and go for it like that, it was just,

you know, it's wild to see it start expanding again. - She's really dug down 27 years old, first year on the World Tour. And Norwegian, and she actually handled that heat pretty well, which saw the salt coming up.

It was super hot out there. She is the Norwegian National Champion. She's won the bronze medal at the time-trial championships

in Norway three times, never won it.

This is her first year racing on the World Tour, and Tor Hushoff was very proud to sign her early on. And you know, World Big Fan of Tour, I know him as well as you can answer. Like he said, you know, bringing another Norwegian rider

to UNOX, and I think it's also very interesting UNOX

wearing the Yellow Jersey in the men's tour difference and as well as the women's. - And it does say something like what we're doing with development for our own country too, bringing on an athlete and Norwegian athlete

who might not have had the same opportunities on another team, but bringing her in to give me experience, like-- - Yeah, and we almost glazed over it. I mean, she is the new Yellow Jersey,

so she's trading her Norwegian National Champions jersey, which she talked about a lot in her post-trace interview, of what it was like to be in the front with the Norwegian National Champion jersey. That's always special.

Like any time you can do it to her, I remember my first tour in 1993, I had the Stars and Stripes on, and it just feels different. You kind of, you just ride with a little more confidence

and she said, now she was just the cutest thing. - Oh my gosh, it's in the post-trace interview. I mean, she was so surprised, happy, humble, like it was just--

- Well, when they asked her if that was her dream,

and she said, "If really hasn't been my dream,

"because I've never allowed myself to even think about that."

So it's just-- - Wow. - I couldn't raise my arms 'cause I was too tired. - Yeah, I'm sorry team.

- So I think that goes without saying them.

The day boomstick right here. - It's all, it's everything. It's boomstick, move of the day, see in the doucheous, all wrapped in the one. But it also just shows, too, you know,

a writer like Lotta Kopecki. I mean, she knows what she's doing. Here, first year on the pro tour for Sacred. Lotta Kopecki knows what she's doing, right? She's coming across, she's saying, all right,

I've got this, she's seeing the time gaps, and she and her mind is saying, "Okay, it's, I've got it." - Mm-hmm. - You still have to ride. All right, and you still have to budget your effort

and allocate it and know and get to the finish line. And it just goes to show, even a writer like that has a gas tank and a fuel tank. And Sacred looked like when she went away and as I was up in the gym, just watch it.

It was like another day with another writer who looks effortable on the bike. - Gorgeous, right? - I was like, "Baby, this is the way to pedal." - Right now, and then at the end, I'm like, "Uh-oh."

- She went from circles to squares. - And I'm like, "That's a problem."

But then you saw Lotta Kopecki going from circles to squares.

And then we were watching it goes 15 seconds, and I'm like, "What's that?"

The GPS, by the way, folks, is not always reliable.

So we're wondering if, you know, we're, it's off. And then next thing, you know, we look up as 55 seconds. Like, this is, 10 seconds, folks, go out with your friends. Let one of them go up the road, 10 seconds. They, you can touch them.

(laughs) They're right there. And by the way, in secret, knew that, I mean, she could have looked back and said, "Oh, no, she is right there."

- I mean, she didn't look back. - She didn't look back. - She didn't look back, she kept going, and I wonder, you know, like, "Buch Cassie and the Sundance kids are like,

"Who are those guys?" I wonder if Lotta ever got in the radio. I was like, "Who is this guy?" "Who is this up the road?" - All that secret.

- That's when we need the race radio. - Yeah. - Excuse me. - What is her name? Who is this again?

Why am I not?

- But I think, actually, we have a chance

that she's gonna be in yellow for a while. She did place 11th overall, the world championships in the time trial. - Well, third grade. - There we go.

And she did finish 12th overall, the zero earlier this year, and this is her third grand tour of the year. So, welcome to the world tour, Seagrid. She is one of 17 writers in this tour

to Fonts Family Vex Wifft, that this is her third grand tour of the year. - Wow. - 17 writers currently racing out of the 146, we'll see you is not in the race anymore today,

after that time cut. - To my point yesterday. - Yeah, I even on the men's side. I think you shortened at least two out of three of them. I could make the argument, you shortened them all.

And you have people ride a lot more of the grand tours, and you have certainly potentially have somebody when the grand slam. - It's great story. - Yeah, I love it.

- Seagrid, we are a huge fan. - And she will yellow for long and loose. - Yeah, she's just over two minutes on Kim McCourt, 206 on dibble ballering, and also she's gonna be tired. Look, she didn't.

I mean, she has it and we're in the second half of the show. We're gonna show you the time trial and talk about it. - Well, she deserves to be tired. - She had, yeah, exactly. She did, tomorrow's time trials,

what 21 cleners, she did a 95 clener tonight throughout the day. - She gonna be tired. - Just bring in the old days as a tour de France, attack the men back right there. There's a long time trial, here we go.

- I woke up real salty today, I'm sorry. - Well, what's happened? - What happens? - I wanted to watch this start of the race, and it's hard, it's 545 in the morning,

Marry and I are texting, and it was a ballistic start, and I wanted to watch this start. - Well, you hear all this stuff happening, a crash, and this, and it's like going straight up hill, you're like, ah, what's going on?

- Worth noting, dibble ballering did crash, early on in the stage that we didn't catch it on the coverage. But it wasn't Twitter, I saw this, I saw the video on Twitter. It seemed, she seemed certain, it seemed fine at the end of the race.

Slightly concerning our friend Pauline was, and maybe she's, this is one of two things. She's either just playing it really cool, and knowing that these breaks are not gonna, at the end, they were sort of attacking each other

and accelerating over some of these small, climb, small hills, and she wasn't there. Like, there was a gap. - That concerns me, but then again, she's clever. She knows, she probably knows that it's not gonna go away.

What I, in that position, I wouldn't,

I wouldn't let a gap open, 'cause she's never known.

- On that little climb, the cat four, there was so narrow, and step, she maybe she had bad position coming into it, but yeah, she didn't, when she didn't make that, that was kinda, two, yeah, we saw two.

- That wasn't one over the top, yeah. - Yeah, it was a little concerning.

We'll watch it, we'll watch it.

But you know, I do, we want to give a round of applause

for Weebus for two days in yellow, and Lance, I was thinking about it watching this morning,

and I think I, well, probably done a lot of things

you haven't done, but, one, the one, the one, - It's starting, like, like, like, like, what do you mean? - I know, I'll throw that up the first time. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - I haven't won the two or the rest of the game.

- Give me the back of the mat. - Okay, but, no, I was thinking about this, so, as we talked about the days stage, we started out really difficult at this hard climb. - Yeah, we got a really long climb.

- And, Weebus was in the group for a bit, and then you could see the group pedo start for me. And, first, she's there, like, 35 seconds, that's, like, two minutes, maybe, and then it's boom, eight minutes, and I'm like, okay, yellow jersey's done

for the day, yellow jersey races up the road. I was like, ooh, some of the teams were sending riders back to support their sprinters that were dropped. In this group, pedo, if their jobs were done, working for the climbers, I have had to do that

before I worked for a rider in the group pedo. I don't need to be in the group pedo, but it's nice to work for your sprinters in the group pedo,

and I bet you have never been in the group pedo ever.

- That's not true. - Oh, really? That's actually news to me. - I don't know, first two was, I was in the group pedo. - Oh, really? - Yeah.

- Have you ever, yeah, I can't go with ever sent you back to work in the group? - Not fun. - Not fun. - Not fun. - Not fun. - Not, not, but not the laughing group,

there's a, we call it, not. - But it looks like that group pedo finished in a nice safe time, so we have those riders for. - Oh, we're checking. - Yeah, I don't want to do to check that out.

- Check in, there are 138 riders in, so it looks like they're gonna make it. - Yeah.

- You know, I think, it just, it shows you,

speaking of Lorraine, and we've just just shows you how impressive, or, you know, not that we knew it was impressive,

but how even more impressive her first stage victory,

or that stage one victory was. - Yeah. - uphill finish, a lot of climbers around her. She just gutted it out. She's like, I have to stay here, like if I stay here

and just hang on, I can win the sprint, right? As I saw her get dropped on the first climb, I was like, well, I had to be really hard to do one. - Well, I'll try to take a lot out of her doing that, so. - And she's just, you know, she's taking her out.

- Yeah. - Y'all jersey something, it's all good. Now, folks, a day would not be complete. We're here on the move, if we did not talk about the UCI. (laughing)

So as I was waking up, waiting for the coverage to come on, reading the live reports on the internet, reading the news on the internet. I did not know, you know, I've been tracking this, just in culture.

I didn't know this was some weird shit. Like they, you're fuck, you fall culture, like pop culture, all this, everything's maxing, maxing, look, maxing, and wait, you know, I don't know what they are,

all these maxings, you know, social media, man, fuck, I don't know. Well, I'm reading the news, and the UCI's apparently cracking down on Brawmaxing. - Mm-hmm.

- And I'm like, I saw the headline, I was like, "I don't even know if I can click the appropriate, appropriate for me to click on this." (laughing) But I had to click on it, and, of course.

- Talk about clickbait right there. - And, uh, there's, there's some stuff going on, I guess some, (laughing) - Hi. Maybe I'll--

- Okay, I'm ready for this, I'm ready for this. - Yeah, I'm ready for this. I don't know what's going on here. - I am going to call it inflategate. Okay, this is inflategate, all right?

So this is where some of the teams are going up to the UCI comms worried about tomorrow that women are going to be over padding their bras in the time trial to increase their aerodynamics. And actually that makes sense,

normally that could be not aero in some situations, but when you're down in the time trial position, you are closing this like air gravity. - Yes, it is proven, it is proven. Just like in time trials in triathlon,

you can put a water bottle like down here. - There can't go back, or some sort of a bladder in front. - So it's chestfaring, and the physics is real, it's a real thing, and you can actually reduce drag up to 0.78 seconds per kilometer.

But my question is, like, so I think they--

- Who's doing the inspection? - We have to show up with their shirt and done, or they ask you to unzip when you get to the start line. - How does it feel? - How does it feel? - Where are they doing it?

Are they doing it right when you're in the gate, or whatever, like, a minute and a half to go. - And how many people just put in their applications for tomorrow's time trial, would be like, you know what, I think I want to be a UCI commissaire tomorrow.

- And then are they going to be like saying that a padded bra or something is going to be counting is inflating? I mean, what is counting is inflating? - We don't know.

- That's crazy. - This is just the headline is so, it was so. (laughing) - We'll see tomorrow, me. - Well, right now, they have no clear enforcement of it.

But if they do discover that you are doing this, bra-maxing, chest-faring thing, you can get fine, 200 to 1,000 Swiss francs.

How are they going to do it?

- I do not know. - Listen.

- But it's clearly very strange. - And now I'm not sure of any riders

for Saturday Night Live or watching the show.

(laughing) But if you are, this is a hell of a skip. I would love this. (laughing) - You imagine the SNL skit?

(laughing) Women's Tour France, time trial. It just, this lady shows up, this is an SNL skit. - This is, that's hilarious. - Including the commissar, like some skis ball.

Oh no, I got this, come over here to my little 10 little girl. Some crazy sweaty must make inspection. - Yeah. - Oh man. And then the women start going faster

because of this aerodynamic vanage. And then next thing you know, the men are gonna be doing it, Lance, right there. Bra-maxing, all the tours. All the tours.

- Today's show brought you by, on that note. (laughing) Today's show brought you by Pioneer Pastors.

Full disclosure, I love this product so much

I invested in the company, but I was drinking it long before I even put in the dime. Pioneer Pastors shakes a real A2 dairy, lactose-free, 30 grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar, no seed oils, no artificial sweeteners,

and none of that chalky feeling every other shake has. Finish your ride, drink one, and get on with your day. My fridge at home is stocked with their stuff. You can find the shakes on Amazon and at Target and the milk at Target and Sprouts.

But here's the deal, Pioneer Pastors has an exclusive. Buy one, get one free offer for listeners of the move. Go to PioneerPastors.com/TheMove to claim yours. PioneerPastors.com/TheMove. - That was a great segue there with those clients.

- I mean, we're going for others, we're going for it. (laughing) Also, today we have... - This says an L-skid, it's going to be just a fire. - I'm so excited for that.

- It's fire. - Absolutely, and I did wake up salty today, but fortunately, I'm very well-vealed because on our table, like we've actually had all week, we have evergreen.

And we have some waffles and pancakes, made with whole grains, avocado oil, hidden veggies, real maple syrup, and the new protein waffles and pancakes get their protein from Greek yogurt and eggs, not a powder, so none of that's get you stuff.

That's just normally found in frozen breakfast. And the founder, Emily, is a lawyer who left her career to build this company and is a D1 swimmer at Boston Qualifier, like I am. And Iron Man Finisher, and she just thought

a frozen breakfast could be done better. You can find it at Whole Foods Sprouts, Target, select Kruggers. So go to eatevergreen.com/stores to find out where you can find your evergreen waffles or pancakes.

- As an investor, we always invest ideas and products

are great, people are better, Emily, at Evergreen, a plus plus, like it's, it's, it's just like cigarette. Like I started to show 10 out of 10. But she's just, the, all those things you said, and not, you know, essentially, when I first met with her,

she just talked about swim in D1, and she's not tall. You know, swimmers now are so big and I thought, god, Lee, I mean, he must be a badass. He's swimin' D1, like she's, she's not a tall lady, she's just an, I love you, Emily, but you're not tall.

(audience laughs) - Anyway, say plus, plus. - I can't wait to meet her. - No, really, awesome, well, I can't, it's harder. I started to even go back after the brawmaxing.

- Well, we do have some updates tomorrow. - There's so many things I could say, and I'm just sitting here, and I'm like, (laughs) Lance, don't say it.

(laughs) There's just, wait, just don't say it. - You usually tell me not to say what's on my mind. - I know that this, there's a lot. (laughs)

- I think a lot of people thought that one day woke up

and saw the headlines this morning.

- Look, here's the thing, it, it is,

and I can only kind of remember a recall what was done in the men's peltside's reel. I mean, early days, guys were testing out and actually racing at times with a camel back in front of them, that would create a bit of a foil,

and then even, they crack down on that. I can't do that, and then they had the race radios that were sort of overwrapped with something as just even that much would create some sort of, so it is real, it's just,

(laughs) - It's beginning to time drive. - Tomorrow we have a time trial, and tomorrow we'll actually also find out the official route for Vonto on the fire danger,

so whether it's a shortened approach or not, but Mary-on did say this morning, officially we're doing Vonto, it just depends if we do Madeline and all these things before it,

or if we have to shorten the route to the fire, so we will know tomorrow. - T-T, let's have a look, this is not, yeah. Go, go to the climb in the middle. - And yeah, 6.9%, 1.8K.

- Total elevation gain is 255 meters.

The steepest section is 6.9%, yeah. - Yeah, but two kids, 7% that's kind of like a climb. We'll curious about the route, how technical it is. - Three hair pins, it's not supposed to be overly technical. - Point to point, paying the butt for the staff,

like a staff's worst nightmare, point to point, having to get staff there, have people at the finish, get the equipment, it's just typically, they start to finish the same place, not overly technical in terms of the run-in or,

but I mean, I guess the story to look for tomorrow's,

and I think we know the answer is,

is Sigrid with two plus minutes, does she keep the eligibility, which just continues this great story? And then obviously for G.C., I mean, we talked about Pauli and we talked about,

and the preview show of, if she has one weakness, it is the time trial. - And Kachia. - And Kachia, so those we have to see, 'cause this is going to impact the race,

lot to see, lot to watch, lot to look for, and a lot to win, and a lot to lose for these gals, like.

- Yeah, I think, over 15 kilometers of the course,

I think really reward, like, raw power and aerodynamics. So I think it's really going to suit somebody, like a Marlin Racer, Damivolary, and then Zoe backstit. I like, think of my three-top picks. Vandabrigan could have a good TT,

she didn't look so good today, but a TT is a completely different type of discipline. In the descent, the last six K descent, like I looked at on Google Earth today, and everything, it's not overly technical,

which Kachia is really good on technical descent and things, so, but I think this is going to be more of a power descent, so you're still going to put out a crap ton of power. - Definitely think it's a Marlin course. - Looks perfect for her to me.

- Yeah, it starts to set up the second half of the race,

if somebody does have a bad day, and they are an exceptional climber. It's just a guarantee that they're going to have to animate the race, which is just sitting at home. - It's going to be awesome.

- That's good. Not great for them, but for us, watching, this is good, but it'll really dictate what the tactics are like, the second half, and just how animated the race is, which is, yeah.

- Can it super exciting? - Yeah, yeah, sacred, she went straight to the top of the race. - I really hope she's recovered enough to pull it off tomorrow. - No, she should be able to hold it, but depending on how she feels after me.

- Just peddle like you were peddling today. - Exactly. - For the first performers of your solo break, and you'll be fine, actually. - She'll be very arrow on her road bike.

- Yeah, very smooth. - Yeah. - I don't know, I mean, yeah.

We'll see, and you know, I think there's a lot of women,

not racing the time trial just doing the time cut, just like the group had over today. So, you know, you plan it safe, make the time cut, and get ready. - Yeah, the time trial?

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, Lord. I mean, yeah, I'm disbased on percentages, so you don't have a ton of time you can't choose. - Can't go too easy, but I mean, if they have to still race,

because the time cuts gonna be enough,

yeah, I mean, the first person's gonna be so fast,

if you, I think it'll be your first time cut, and I could mess it up, 27 minute effort or so. - Oh. - I guess I wouldn't. - You're the propeller head, I don't know.

(laughing) - I love time cut, I don't know. (laughing) - 800 feet of climbing. - Is it, 138 women in the race?

Is that what we're down to? - Sure. - So everybody did make the time cut today. - One person dropped out today, yeah. Oh, no, yeah, sorry.

Nina Bowles. - Nina Bowles. - All right, let's go to the voicemail line, of course, become one of our favorites, call on leave us a message.

Whatever question, comment, whatever you wanna say.

- Could be Lance's number, could be Blaze's number?

- Yeah, this is not my number, but my number does start with 970, so you people can start figuring it out from the, (laughing) wait, I didn't just say that.

(laughing) You don't have to figure out that many numbers after that. 970, 718, 2736, is the hotline. Colen, tell everyone. - Hey Lance, Kyle, great calling from North Carolina.

I just had a quick question. What do you think the 9th page impact will have on the Tour de France fans? Look forward to hearing you. - Kyle, I am, I'm gonna also let these ladies answer this,

but I, and check out the preview show, 'cause I, by the way, a lot of calls from the Carolinas. - George is noticing that George, this guy can't get away from him, is people?

(laughing) - George, I think he's out of the South East East East. I thought I'd made fun of them enough that they'd stop calling, you know, come out the bullet, don't shoot the balloon, y'all.

Whatever you do do, do not go outside. Y'all, hopefully everybody remembers

That Chinese balloon that was flying over our country.

I do. - What, I mean, it's just, it's just part of the show, just chill. (laughing) Anyways, Kyle, I, as I said in the preview show,

I love the stage. This, that part of France, South of France.

And when I think about the South of France,

you really, there's kind of three main communities there along the water you have con, little West. You have niece sitting right in the middle and then you have Monaco to the East. And all of the writing between niece and Monaco

is that's why I trained, right? I lived between those two places. I think the writing is good, not great, out towards con. But the, the writing behind niece and Monaco

is, is never flat, simply, never flat.

You cannot do time trial training, you cannot go out there on a TT bike. There's no flat roads. So this third stage is right, and it is on arguably the most famous climb and the most storied climb

in the South of France, the coldest. Now, for those who didn't fall cycling 30, 40, 50 years ago, Perry niece would always finish on the coldest. The great Sean Kelly, the great Irishman would, you know, I don't know one Perry niece is Zillian times.

He would always dominate the time trial of coldest. They're doing it three times. And you see the profile, it is never flat. They go up, they go down, they turn around basically, and they go up, and they go down, and they do it three times.

Races and over until it's over.

I mean, I think it's going to be an exciting,

it's going to finish this route. Unless somebody has such a lead and such a good team that they can control the race, but I still think it's hard. It's never flat. No, I like it said in the previous show,

it ain't going to be no parade. No, not, which is, which makes it really exciting. It makes it, yes, yes, yes. There is parade possibilities in niece. And we said that too, I mean, the, the problem in our design,

there's not even a hot lap on the prominent design blade to the finish. No, it's, it's a, this is a race, right? Right to the finish. So that's, yeah, it's not over till it's over.

Yeah, big day. Mm-hmm. Color number two. This is Harland WF from Denver. Has the sponsorship landscape for women

improved, leading to more and better compensation for the racers? I know that was a big subject several years ago. And I wanted to find out if that's better now. Thank you.

It's a great question. You guys know this a lot better than I do. I mean, other than you guys have talked about some of the,

well, I mean, $1 million riders,

which I love, by the way, I think it's a great headline.

Like, if you're just a sports fan in home and you read that headline, you're like, okay, this is a real sport. It's really exciting. I mean, how many do we have now? Alley over a million is it three, three, with the public coming,

how many do we think is going to be over a million also? And so the salaries at the top are really great. And a lot of improvement that comes from the sponsorships, but the hard part is, is the level right below kind of to keep feeding the world to our teams.

So we still have work to do, but it's definitely improving. And the budgets, like the overall team budgets, like I believe his name is Harland, like I felt he was asking about just across the peloton overall budgets of these teams.

Is that on the increase year over year? - Absolutely. It's actually now for sharing your scene. More these dual team programs with a male and a female team. So that's sharing resources, increasing the overall budget

and support, also having to race like the two to frontspam effects, what having sponsors like Zwift and then investing in this for five years plus five more. So this is showing what this viability of the sport is

and we're looking at million dollar riders out there.

But I agree with Mari, like to keep that funnel coming. So keep a watch on the FM guys. But we also, it would be great to keep the media up on the same level too. So having live coverage on a stage that starts in the morning

with the uphill start, like we did today and we missed a good portion of what was going on in the beginning. - I almost got his fire during the miseries. Don't start, don't we don't want to try it?

- I woke up salty inside. - I don't want to cause problems but I would love to beg for-- - Listen. - Y'all call her, no problem man, it's ain't nothing.

But it is, look, it's, look, and I will say, yes, of course it would be great on these days where you know there's gonna be action from the gun. But however, the race is streaming live on Peacock and however part two, we are streaming live

on Peacock which is super, super cool. - Don't get me wrong, like the media coverage has been a huge part of why the sport is growing the way it is. It's just to keep improving on things.

- Yeah, I'm curious, I'm curious.

- I'm curious, I'm curious, on the mean streets

of Aspen called, I'm curious, you know, if we were sitting in Provence and we walked down for our morning panel shock a lot and got the keep. Like where does the, and we're just using the keep as an example since it's a French paper

and of course really the home of the tour. Like where does this race fit in that coverage? I would have to imagine and we could find this out but I would have to imagine it features pretty prominently and you also got to look around the global sports landscape

and say, okay, what else is going on, right? Well, there's not a grand slam tennis final,

there's a, what is polling from the attention?

I don't think there's a lot which I think suits,

look, we saw it in the men's race, right? The men's race would have been down because the men's world, sorry, the world cup was going on. As soon as it finished, then, you know, viewership probably went up in cycling right now

for the Tour de France family of ex-wif. There's really nothing else out there. So that's good timing for them. - Well, I mean with PFP, you know, she's a national hero, so I'm sure it's prominent

in the paper. - Well, she'd better stay up front if I say that. I don't know if the gap's open up anymore. - Yeah, that's true, that's true. And I mean, we are streaming what we are provided from you.

So, like, everyone is getting the stream provided from you. - Well, now that's an interesting, okay. - So it's not, yeah, it's not peacock.

It's peacock is always the best we can.

- That feed is what's that's when it's getting turned on by ASO to all the people around the world who are buying the rights for the coverage. - Yeah, so only stages five and nine are gonna be broadcasted live from start to finish.

And all seven of the other ones are 2.5 hours of live coverage. And so that is what ASO provides to all the distributors worldwide. So that is what people are getting.

So that's why I'm on Twitter, like following the live feeds

and all of that. - Well, at least we have the weekend, 'cause those two stages are gonna be epic. - Yeah. - You're gonna have to wake up early, really.

- Well, fine, I get up early every day. Whatever, today I had a hell of a good time watching. I was, that, I'm just, we'll just finish with going back to Sigrid for her to pull that off to, obviously, you know, I have the nose of the race

and the instinct of the race to get in that move and then go away. But for her to drag race, a lot of Capekki, one of the strongest women in the world. - It was awesome.

- It was never once looking back, never once.

- No. - Full send, full send, Sigrid. - Where's that yellow with that? - She gets all three, the boom stick, the sea of the duches and the move of the day.

- The sea of the duches, she totally did say sea of the duches. - All right, well, you know what? I'm gonna go to bed tonight thinking about brawmaxing. - Okay. - And get him ready with time, I'm just reading the news,

we'll just, you're not. - Maybe I'll try some brawmaxing. - Do not start being inappropriate. I'm just reading the news right here on the internet. And so we got the time, Trauma, we're excited for it.

Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you all tomorrow. In three, two, one. - Bye. (upbeat music)
