So yeah, I mean listen it's amazing 20 it's look at three stage wins in his f...
22 victories Spencer at 21 years old Here's a little staff crazy staff To the apple gotcha at 21 at eight wins
“Eddie marks Eddie marks at 21 years old at five wins”
Wow Matthew Brennan has 22 wins Hey everybody, welcome back to the move. I'm Spencer Martin. I'm here with Yohan Brineel We are breaking on stage 11 of the Valtos, Spania one by Matthew Brennan over Brian Cacard and Jordi Mayos in a sprint finish Colenic from Bees, Melissa by perfectly it out from Kristoff Leport
Well, there aren't nobody had a chance
Brennan held him off like like a veteran but shockingly he's 21 years old in his first grand tour
We'll talk about what that means for like should everyone just go into hiding what what's going to happen here? What's the plan to be Brennan in the future and then preview tomorrow's stage 12 with our outcome stage preview
“But Yohan will quickly go through what happened on the stage not a lot not a hugely”
Consequential stage except when the TB images came on we saw Vismet the front again with covidis Paste looked hot they're keeping these these breakways on a tight leash the gap is under a minute with a hundred k to go They went through a town they leave the town things break up in the crosswinds But really in real in reality who's gonna hold off a chasing group two for 90 k so it eventually comes back together
Never of us on the climb while the Nards closing down attacks coming into the finish
Once you know once you have wealth and art working on the front to close on attacks and it's pretty much game over for any attacker when you have been art closing down at moves we get into the final kilometer Vismet set up it was again though you know uno X at the front like three four k from the finish Setting things up perfectly for Vismet who then comes forward inside the final kilometer You have little port pulling first and then Ben art takes them around the tight corner with 400 meters to go
And it was game over I mean no one could even think about coming out of Brennan's upstream He was launches such a high speed kept such a high speed wins it in dominant fashion pretty pretty sobering actually for someone that didn't pick him that was that was pretty Embarrassing you on for myself, but Are move the day you picked them yeah, you picked them like a smart person arm over the day during this vault is brought brought to you by Eight sleep the mattress top are used by team UA Emirates throughout the entire season. They take it to every hotel for races training camps
Keeps you cool keeps you warm if you want 350 dollars off one through the end of this two or three of them This welta go to eightsleep.com slash the move for 350 dollars off, but yohan What was your move of the day? My eightsleep move of the day Spencer is I'm gonna I'm not gonna say Matthew Brennan. I'm gonna say Vismet Vismet and the way they executed the race today, you know they controlled together with covid is
At the end there was a tax on those all that last climb they were still had a good presence of course You know if you have one art he can solve a lot of a lot of situations But especially the way they kept their cool at the end, you know they were in good position
“I think was Bruno Armeriel Armeriel who did an amazing turn like three kilometers”
And then they kind of the then they had Lapport and Von Arte and Brennan and they waited you know If when when when Armeriel had to peel off it was way too early. I think it was two and a half kilometers They kept their cool they waited and of course you know X came and that was ideal ideal for for Vismet and they just came at the last moment. I think Lapport came at one K to go did a pool of like 400 meters and then Von Arte went first into that last corner and as expected
Brennan blasted by him and You know cocar seconds your demails third Martin score four one art fifth I think the interview of cocar after the finish was very telling he said you know I was in an ideal position But there was just nothing I could do you know he wasn't Brennan's wheel
But with Lapport and Von Arte there this there's nothing we could do right I guess I could just stay where I was so I'm gonna give the move of the day to Vismet for Controlling that final and executing a perfect plan Yeah, I mean, yes you described it perfectly they they were at the front He was too early they ran out of guys super impressive when you can see a team adjust on the fly like that
Always helps when you know that you know X has come in to save the day don't worry you know X will be there
But Lapport and and Van Arte
It's not obvious when you just watch it on TV they're doing the work of like ...
You think that's not enough that's not even close to enough right for normal lead out and Van Arte is falling
“For what would take a normal lead out right I would take two or three lead out writers to do what he's doing”
It's yeah super super impressive reminded me actually of stage 12 of the 2,000 25 years of tallya Where he delivered all off-coi they had a similar turn you know the round 400 meters to go He kept all off-coi at the front sprinted it was exactly like that. I mean it just he it's unbeatable when that happens Can't say enough nice things about Van Arte
Before we got to our first little middle all break though. I mean a wall Spencer water just just just to add just to add to this you know like a little side notes
Um First of all Van Arte and La Port are two huge engines. You know as you say they were they all worked for guys on an on another team What we have to take into consideration however is that in this welta There's no real sprinters and there's no trains You know that you can clearly see I mean if you it starts already with like 10 15 K to go I mean like if you compare it
Is to the zero or the two or the speed of it's such a difference such a different race you know It's like yeah, kind of relaxed with 10 K to go. I mean at least stop. I'm sure it's not relaxed in the peloton But there's not so much high speed and not so much fighting for position
“With 10 K to go and then it gets really crazy at the end of course, but I think that's something that we have to take into account that”
The level of the sprinters and the speciality the level of the lead out trains is is not even close to the two of the fronts in this race Yeah, it made me think V's my win like coming into this race where they just think in all my lord And we are going to clean up like we've got this lead out We've got Matt Brennan. There's as you say. There's I mean Brian Cookard get spinner Jordy may as good spinner Magnus court is fourth on the stage. Magnus courts not really a spinner, you know like that's showing you
Like what we're dealing with in terms of sprint quality and then when there's no sprint teams I mean Red Bull, Borahon's a girl. They don't they don't really have a sprint lead out, but they have a sprinter So you can like vis-a-vis easily taking control and dominating other teams here. What are we looking at with Matt Brennan?
Yes three stage wins and his first grand tour of his career
We looked back. He's probably the youngest rider to do that. He's 21. Tadipagotcher won three Valtest stages in his first career grand tour start in 1999 and 2019 at the age of 20 So he would have been a little bit younger than Brennan and then Peter Sagan won three Valtest stages in his first career grand tour start in 2011 Both of those guys went on to be like two of the best ever do it. What are we looking at here with Matt Brennan I'm going to I'm going to guess that Brennan is not finished. He's going to win another stage
This is only stage looks like this is only stage eleven And now you know he has the confidence himself the team really believes in him if there's another stage Which is ideal for him with a slight uphill finish Especially also because now I mean with we we didn't say it but before before the start Matt's better And DNS today did not start because apparently he's sick and has decided that it makes no sense to
Strabble in this welta he's going to try to recover and be better for the world championships Which I think is a smart decision He shouldn't have been here, you know, but you know, you don't know you don't know that right before
But so yeah, I mean listen, it's amazing 20 he's okay three stage wins in his first grand tour
22 victories Spencer at 21 years old Here's a little stat crazy stat So they pull gotcha at 21 At eight wins Oh whoa, Eddie marks Eddie marks at 21 years old had five wins
Wow, Matthew Brennan has 22 wins Of course, we're not gonna compare, you know, it's not the same type of rider he's you know the Brennan is is Specific puncher sprinter can win you know like with you know uphill sprints and stuff but man 22 wins
at 21 years old that's crazy and
“Yeah, I mean let's I think I think it says at all that the guy like von Art”
You know like Selflessly is is ready to sacrifice himself or him Was also telling I saw an interview Of Matthew Brennan before the start of the stage and he was very clear that For today stage the vis mask plan A was Matthew Brennan
He said it before the start he was very clear about the very open about it and then of course during the stage we could see True the attitude of what one art you know him closing closing gaps on that last climb that that's was really gonna be the plan
Hey, they were right, you know they know that if on a stage like today and I'...
If Matthew Brennan is brought to the finish in those circumstances
There was nothing to be done Impressive man, I mean look I mean that's that's quite a quite a staff right for gotcha on eight wins at 21 years old and at he marks only five wins Yeah, that is impressive he has been pro for like a couple of years. I guess that warps everything but
“Like stage you look at stage 16 and you know flat sprint finish who who is gonna challenge him?”
You know you look at today like I don't know accident stage 17 He could win that one too. He could have five wins at this welta. It's crazy And the thing about Brennan and almost feels like he's part-time in it as a sprinter
I don't think that is yeah, that's a specialty
Yeah, I know I don't think he's a real sprinter Spencer At least for the moment, you know, we don't know me he's he can still improve he can get more power more Exposivity but in my opinion he's not a pure sprinter now of course if if on flat super fast sprints against the likes of Philipson and Medley and Milan I don't think Brennan is a match for the moment for the moment. Let's see let's see in the future but
I just can't get over that 21 22 wins man. That's crazy And it's crazy the the whole story, but and also I feel like a scientist in a movie sci-fi movie He likes to discover his immediate or that's coming to destroy the earth you know like you don't understand What's coming for you, cycling skies gonna dominate but the fact that he was on a club team in 2023 It goes to the visma development team and
“That's not that long ago like how did visma scoop this guy up like what a pickup for them?”
I think I I mean you know what I I forgot now, but one of our listeners what on our listeners We because we have talked about this one of our listeners has written about it written to be on Instagram about this and I I forget now exactly what But there's some there's somebody in in visma who has who has seen him um I don't know. I wait and it's by the way by the way
Matcha Brennan was on the Track team was world champion juniors with Ben Wiggins in the matter. Oh Well Yeah, so I think he comes from the track team actually that's where they just went. They scouted him They had to my UK connection
These mid did remember like Tom Thomas glau glau glau glau yeah, yeah, he was on the team
“They were getting a lot of good writers out of the UK, but I yeah, I'm gonna say I mean I don't know I think”
I mean I'm just thinking out loud now, but I think Brennan comes from the team which is run by the father of Tom Pitcock I feel like a father of Tom Pitcock runs a team and and like a like a young team junior team and Mathew Brennan was on that team. I think that's that's where they found them Well, man, good fine. I mean and you think this is a guy that won Kermberg also's current this area on
That's a big classic to win and was and was crucial to the victory of Walt the knock and buddy to bay
Yes, yes Crucial don't like the V key lead out into the armoured forest. Yeah, yeah, and I mean think back to 2025 His first years of pro is in pay every way. I don't think he left the first ten writers for the first hundred k of that race That's not easy to do. Yeah, like what we're looking at with Matt Brennan is it's impressive He could be an extremely extremely good writer in the future
Good way is how we listen Spencer listen he is already it extremely good writer. He is already Yeah, that listen 90% 90% of this wealth up at a tall We'll never win 22 races in their whole career and that's and that's you know I'm going to say 95% yeah, I was gonna say it might be more than 90% yeah very few writers when that many races Yeah, I mean tell me if I'm overset is this over an overstatement
So you think about the classics think about what flaners has become due to the root do the how hard it's race There's so few writers that can contest it you have Van art you have what really a Vanderpool if we got char Remco now let's save an art Is Brennan like is he in that group of writers that could contest these I think so I think I think so too He's the type of writer that's built for those kind of efforts. I'm sorry. I mean short violent punchy efforts
If he gets more endurance For sure he's gonna be up there and He's one of the only writers you know, it's the blessing of Vanderpool like he can win in a sprint
He doesn't have to drop everybody
Same thing with the Brennan like Remco is probably gonna have to drop if he wants to beat Pugot char at flaners He's gonna have to get get away solo Brennan just has to get there in the group, you know, it's a huge huge advantage Well as long as Pugot char's going for it. That's not gonna be easy He has to get it out in flanters. You know like not you know. Oh, he's so busy yeah on the quarter months
Yeah
“Well that's why these guys, you know like Paul 6 saws Brennan del Toro their huge advantage is the fact that they're way younger than Tadak Pugot char”
You know, they don't they don't have to beat him at his best. They just have to wait time is on their side But let's see a quick quick break. We'll talk a little bit about what we saw from what we started a Thing things look a little bit better over there and then we'll get into the stage preview Everybody this wealth of Spaniacovage is brought to you by a presenting sponsor ultra focus pouches Do you desperately need a nicotine pouch every 15 minutes just to feel normal how many pouches cups of coffee and or energy drinks

“Present around race later in Rick Moss. What do you think yeah? I think so”
yesterday was I mean it was not worrying because it was not really necessary but he looked quite isolated at some point and today
They were with him around him in the crosswinds. There was always two or three riders with him
Protecting him and bringing him to the front So that was good to see of tomorrow's a big day for them tomorrow's a huge day But I saw an interview yesterday of and Rick Moss after the stage is on Spanish TV and was something really interesting They asked him, okay, you know, okay, but that's not here anymore. It's a different race so Who uh so roglicious is there you know
Oscar only Felix Gaul So who's who's the main favorite now and without Blinking he said I'm the favorite whoa That's
Confident
“Must feel amazing you know and I hear from”
People around him you know today for example I was an interview of Alejandro Valverde because he's from that area Was there yeah been with the team and stuff and It's spoken to Antic Moss and apparently It's the best he has ever felt in his career Those or that's that's the signs they're they're giving me or that that I'm hearing so
You know for Antic Moss to say I'm the favorite that means that he's super confident and he must feel really really good
Yeah, really good. I mean he launches first successful career attack just two days ago, so
Who knows what's possible? I mean yesterday. I thought he was gonna sprint like why he's up there He's in second wheel behind Brennan maybe we've unlocked something within our class We don't we didn't know what was possible, but he looks good The team was a bit of a question yesterday. What is what what is with these Groups breaking up in the cross went so you keep seeing this actually like over and over again
Is that a team trying to catch someone out or is it just so much nervousness that that's happening? Yeah, I mean today was weird because it was Was it was not this mom started it right? It was it was it was not COVID is kind of COVID is an NSN I think So I mean and EF was up there with three or four guys I don't think it was really an organized effort. It was more a panic
Move like okay this crosswind let's go to the front and make sure that we don't get caught out Um at this point Spencer, I think it's gonna be very difficult today. There were some really long long long long open roads
You know you can't surprise anybody anymore
You can surprise somebody if somebody just went back to the car or didn't pay attention But like the leaders with a team around them are not gonna get surprised. They're not gonna be surprised They were all there. You know the only guy I could see in the back was y'all know we that The guys who were like in G.C. But he already said that he's not going for G.C. So didn't really care about it Yeah, and I mean what would it take for one of these to go to the line like a 90k command
Yeah, that's yeah, I guess a bit Brennan was caught out perhaps Teams would be incentivized to do that. Yeah, but then it's still it's still very far and also you know Spencer
So you always have to think
You know initially when it's crosswind, you know the nerves in the Palatone Increase everybody gets you know to the front There's some people turning around but then you start to see that okay
“You have to be in the front just in case something happens, but”
if it's really really crossfit and echelons You also are at risk because you are creating a situation that if something happens with your leader Even if you have a teammates around them, you're gonna lose time You know if you get off the road or if you have a flat tire, you know a fraction of a second
You have to give a bike he's gonna lose 10 15 seconds and you put your leader and risk so it's always
a trade off, you know do we really we do we really want to push it? And so it's basically it's it's Some kind of moving in the Palatone that makes you know just make sure that we stay out of trouble But let's not push it too much because if something happens, we're screwed That's a bit the thinking especially if you're so far from the finish
Yes, yeah and so you don't do you expect I mean I guess anything's possible especially in the Walter is one of these going to blow up and we're gonna see like a five minute GC gap at some point in the crosswinds I don't think so you know things so I don't think so no you know I mean this and the the the course Everybody knows the course nowadays you know they they have all the technology They have people in front they know perfectly when the crosswind starts when you turn left when you turn right it's it's
Basically it's impossible to surprise someone it's it's possible to to do echelons and have somebody
Not being able to follow the echelons that's always a possibility
But that would be like you know a real climber who's not you know it's not really good on the flats I don't see anybody in the top five who would be in that situation you know they're all pretty good in the bunch
“They all have at least three or four teammates around them. I don't see it happening honestly”
Yeah, yeah, okay Kind of makes sense. No, the only guy I could see is Felix Gallo You know he's been he had this already and I think in early in the season and down hill I think it's well-facataluña Yeah, he had one of those issues But but in a grand tour it's different now right now. It's already you can see really also these guys
It only do you see they just have that extra gear That is just basically their fitness and they just you know Couldn't ride to the front when when everybody's struggling in the crosswinds Yeah, and the Voto and yeah the Voto Catalonia was a little I mean you had a Remco ripping it on the front of a decision Goes out of position and then they just had to get through a valley so holding some off for a valley is a little bit different than 90k of open exposed roads
But should we take a quick break and then do our stage 12 preview? Yeah, let's do that Okay, we'll be right back. Okay, Johan so tomorrow's stage 12 167 kilometers and How much climbing we have a lot of climbing four thousand five hundred yeah meters. That's a lot with a VVOM score of 93 second hardest Stage of this race until we get the stage 20 which is brutally hard, but we're not looking forward
“We're not looking ahead to that yet so is it's 20 the hardest stage with your index that's what it says. Yeah. Oh wow”
Okay, yeah, which I was surprised by because they were saying stage nine was like the hardest stage ever in the history of the Voto But This was a elevation it was it was 5,000 400 meters now 5,166 okay and then stage 20 is 4,900
same same distance though but tomorrow one two three four five categorized climbs the trickiest part of the stage is the final climb very weird 17k long at 5.6% you might hear that and think well, that's not that bad right
The first I believe the first six and a half
K our 9% average yeah super hard and then it gets easier this is that this is the worst
Because if you get gaped in the first half of that climb yeah, and there's a group in front of you they're going to pull away
If but if you were a bit so super high Spencer, it's also super high. I mean for that part of Spain. It's mean they go to 2,200 meters almost You're right. Yeah, yeah, which is very extremely extremely high for that part of Spain, you know I mean just for uh for the normies here that's 7,200 feet That's very high. I mean your body is is reacting not as it normally would at that altitude
This is the second highest stage of the race after the indoor stage and doors at very high altitude because it's up in the high Pyrenees but we we had a similar stage. Do you remember this 2017 we finished on this climb GC finish, Michele Angolo Lopez first Chris from second 14 seconds back, needfully 14 seconds back, Calderman 14 seconds back, bar day in control or 31 seconds back. Was it on this on this climb also? Yeah, the color alto color alto because I I do remember a stage that was won by Damian
Garusul on that yeah, that was like 2021 maybe Okay, and yeah, it was from the break away, right? Yes, yes, yes, yes, I think that was in one of the pre-moses years Probably yeah, I believe so this is this is a really tricky really tricky finish Well, how do you think the stage plays out and who's gonna win? I think it's GC It's super hard break away. I mean especially because those last two climbs, man
“It's a lot of climbing. You know you have to have you have to have a really”
Big margin and there will be a break away of course But I think is GC and I'm gonna protect the victory for Hendrick Moss tomorrow in red Whoa, yeah, I mean that would be what are what are the gaps like behind them One 18 to a pretty much rubbish And but you think he puts one 18 I don't know for the moment is one 18. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think I think you know
20 30 seconds probably Yeah, that would be big that would be big if he won that I mean, I guess he looks like the best climber, right and this is one of the hardest climbing I was really I was really blown away by that interview and his confidence You know, listen, I would love to see him win man. I mean the guy
Need to break, you know, he's been up there. I mean I've seen I've seen some pictures of him through the years Since he started at the Vuelta. He was second second third fifth uh
I mean he's been always up there and
If it's true that he says he's better than ever than tomorrow it's a good day to consolidate that Will he give the stage to Schwalmeta Because you say that it's funny you say that you saw you're referring to the bus country last year, right? Yes
It's funny you say that you know I was thinking this In the stage he was away with with with
“With forgotchaar I said man, you know remember that stage where he caught Pugachar on the”
Auto the Bartolo on the gravel And then I said man imagine he goes to Pugachan and he said hey you let me win the stage I thought he might ask him I thought he was definitely going to ask him He kind of didn't make sense at the time though The race situation what was a little less
Who do you think with the you think he's going to win tomorrow? I'm going to keep picking Oscar on Lee only because it's a less steep finish than the other day Only in theory he can sprint faster than him obviously he got smoked at the top of the climb on stage nine But I think mass could struggle well, who knows maybe we've unlocked something and we won't I don't see him in the sprint also another guy I mean premos, you know we have this I think pretty nice
I saw somewhere in interview with team one of his teammates in his welter and said you know listen the guy You know went from not being able to write his bike to just write his bike
He hasn't been able to train properly and now he's in second so he's only going to get better
“Yes, you know there's I think there's some logic in there”
That yeah, pretty most good win this tomorrow also I think he has I mean he has to start to You know try to get some time back although if he stays where he is I mean I personally think if he stays where he is He's not winning the valta he needs he needs he doesn't even you're right. He needs because He's going to keep especially at his current pace is going to keep leaking time if he's won
20 down going into that time trial.
Yeah, the thing about tomorrow is it's so long from the end of the steep section to the finish is
10k I can someone really like in Rick I mean that's a long time to be solo I would worry about if you remember last year vendingard kept going like a similar climb like this actually He got a gap at the bottom and he held off pitcock and I'll made it but that was hard took a lot of work to do that
“I don't think Moscow is the line solo, and I think if he goes with a group the group”
Someone in the group will beat them so then you're just trying to think I think there's the Spencer that is there's this one kilometer with two k to go at nine and a half percent That's where I'm Rick must drop everybody Yeah, I mean that That would be the place to do it. Yeah, maybe I'm struggling with the fact that inner
moss is the strongest climber in this race. It might that might be the reality. I just I can't wrap my head around This reality we're living in I mean it's been who's been stronger right now. I mean Two times an impressive performance like the what the time he came back on Bogocca that was really impressive And then you know on on also that Donna that was also impressive so I don't think anybody the else has shown that kind of strength uphill for the moment you would say you would want to say feel it's golf
But I think we saw on stage nine Bobby not feel us go yeah, I think a lot is going to mean That's also why I think it's going to be GC tomorrow because I think we're going to see again Decathlon taking control
“Of the stage as on the last two clients and that that's why I think a break away has very little chances to make it”
And we'd also the second to last climb is a bonus time sprint at the top. It's 13k at seven and a half percent It's really hard Hard climb leading into the final climb. I think I'm going to pick on lead a win, but I will say this if in moss wins tomorrow I think he I think he wins the ball time. I think it's that there's no There's no room left for others to exploit him because then it's still nine stages pretty often after tomorrow
It's still nine stages Spencer. It's nothing happens in grand tours. It's it's always the guy in the lead that goes on the win
Nothing unexpected ever occurs My kids today I could hear them talking my daughter's three my son was like do you think the show to interact moss? He's like do you think that's Tari Pagachar and she's like no why isn't he in the race? He crashed out did you know He's trying to get her do you think that's Pagachar could you believe that in Rick moss isn't red? But yeah, obviously anything can happen. I do think if moss wins tomorrow. He's hands down
The strongest climber. There's a very it's a secretly very hard stage That is going to show us a lot about the GC and where we're at Do you think Is the is the point sure is he over you're on yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
“I mean, I think von Arth has double points. All right, you know in the second one”
Yeah, and I guess that explains why I thought their tactics were kind of weird and the more I thought about it the more I But I just came yesterday Brendan has a hundred and seventeen points now true and then yeah, and then so von Arth has 174 Brennan is definitely not going to contest the green jersey to all von Arth no way and then third and fourth is Romally and Kokar No, over you know if fuck stays on his bike
Then I've got to get into some breaks though because the problem is if Brennan wins stage yeah, yeah
16 he's going to be kind of close to Van art yeah, so he's got to keep getting into these breakways Yeah, he's going to get something to be he's going to keep scoring intermediate points He might be in the break. Let me look at that profile again It might be in the break tomorrow because the climbs the average gradients before the sprint point three point three percent four point four Yeah, two point four
Van Arth is in the break the model. Yeah, and then and then the sprint happens and then the heart to the two final climbs are super hard Where are we by the way, Johann for this this is Al-Midia This is okay Al-Midia, so it's yeah, it's on that Oceo Al-Midia, which is the southernmost promise region of Spain. Yeah, they're at the tip Do we know how hot it's going to be? Let me check the weather
I think in what I around 30, you know Like 28.6 is actually not that bad for this not bad part of the country the cool. I mean better than here I went to the I went on a bike ride today.

“Chad's crazy luckily luckily tomorrow I'm going to the north of Spain. I'm going to come tabria to”
To support Christian and the Vuelta Cantabria So I'm the next the next three days I'm going to be reporting from Cantabria on the podcast is Christian Is he going the he goes straight from his race when to the other race or did he come home? Yeah
“He's with the team he's with the he stayed with the team so he was in Galicia stay with the team and now”
That's come the team is from Cantabria so he stayed there and then After the race I'm coming back home. Is that a big cycling stronghold like those northern provinces? Yeah Cantabria asked a studio and and the bus country
You know there's a lot of themes a lot of races basically I would say
“65 70% of the calendar for juniors is up north”
In Spain yeah, and then for some reason they're just taking over like soccer or management as well like every I feel like every Premier League manager is from that region like from northern Spain I don't know what's going on
Like they're coming and they do they seemingly just never lose
Soccer matches anymore. They've decided Let's stop losing why don't we win? I don't think they've lost them at just managed national teams since 2023 That's almost as impressive as Matthew Brennan and Inric Mass if he wins tomorrow, but anything else you'll harm before we take off. No, that's it for me Spencer All right well best of luck with uh with a trip to to to get Bobby
