- Reportedly, did exactly the same time,

at Stalapognachar on that climb, the climb of the European Championships, where Pognachar attacked them in a way, so Pognachar says that it's identical same time. Which says something about his level, right?

Now we'll see how handy he is. I have no doubt that Sashas has that skill. He's a complete bike rider. So he'll be right in there. If it's a hot race, Sashas is going to be in there.

Maybe I don't know what you think, but I would say for the moment, with what we've seen in the level,

“Sashas has gotten to, who's probably top five best riders in the world.”

- Everybody, welcome back to the move plus. I'm Spencer Maran.

I'm here with Yohan Bernille.

This is our weekly show, but instead of going through the cycling, it news of the week, we're going to do some race previews and predictions. We really, the meat of the seasons coming up. We're getting in a serious race.

We have shot a Bianchi on Saturday, big star's face. And I'll update it, we got your thumb pick. He's like, "Belcora, wow, Bernard Paul Sashas." And then we have Perry Neese on Sunday with Joanne Meda and Yohanus Finicard.

And then we have Terreno Adriatic on Monday, which is going to have, "Wow, Bernard, and Matthew Vanderpool. "Don't want to get anesthesia, Bell Toro. "It's going to be very exciting, "but just to get people a little background information

"on Shradar Bianchi.

“"It's a one day classic, kind of the sixth monument.”

"Newer race, but getting more and more popular every year. "2003 kilometers, over the white gravel roads "of task, and he's starting to finish in at Sienna. "It is a difficult race, which plays into a bit of predictability. "It's had time to pick out just one, three, the last four years.

"The one year he didn't win, he didn't start. "Was won by Tom Pickcock. "And it's really a simple game for him. "He has his team get to the front, wind up the pace, "and then he attacks on the toughest couple of climb.

"Grabble climb. "Last year though, he didn't get away clean. "He had Tom Pickcock with him, and then Pockcock crashed. "But he caught Pickcock, dropped him with the 18K to go. "One the race, and Yohan, you are reporting from the ground.

"In Tuskini, you're going to be at the race on Saturday. "How do you think this is going to play out "and who'd be things going to win?" - Yeah, yeah, Spencer. - Yeah, I'm here with a group of American cyclists.

And we have a little three-day event here, very nice. I was fortunate enough to be able to get to ex World Champions from my generation, Mario Chipolini and Johnny Buño to ride with us during those three days, so that's going to be really fun.

And tomorrow we're actually going to preview a part of the course, we're going to go to ride this gravel section with a called Molzamari, Molzamari. - Yeah. - Which is where Pockcock are usually attacked

or tries to get away, so we're going to do that tomorrow. So it's going to be interesting. Yeah, Spencer, I, you know, with the risk of starting to sound repetitive even before, even before the season has started.

But Pockcock is the best cyclist in the world. He has won this race three times already. And there's for the moment, I don't think there's any indication that he's not going to be at least the same level.

If not stronger than the past, he likes this race. And it is a very honest race. The only possibility that I can see him not winning if it's because of bad luck, he crashed last year. It was his own fault, but he could get up

and correct that, but you can also puncture, I don't know if punctures can really stop him. He has a really strong team, and if you look at the favorites, Spencer, you know, the biggest rival or the guy

is probably East Agro Toro. He's, you know, he's a big talent, he's in great shape. He already won, I mean, he didn't win,

but he did an amazing performance

on the stage in the zero over the gravel into Siena. Walt von Arck won the stage, but he was the driving force, you know, in the break away and then at the end. So it's, I think it's going to be UAE all over. And yeah, Pogachar is probably going to win this.

I'm thinking about these other guys, you know, how frustrating it must be and how can you keep motivating yourself to try? Well, how where did you get the energy and the inspiration and the motivation to say, OK, I'm starting,

and there might be a chance that I can win. It's, you know, they're all professional cyclists. They all know what can go wrong in the race and for the moment,

“I think that that's what they have to hope for.”

Nobody wishes bad luck to a rival, but, you know, those things do happen and they form part of race. So in case something happens, you need to be in full position to get that opportunity and I think that that's what those, you know, other co-favorites are probably accounting on.

Yeah, and as you say, a bit of an issue because the second best

rider in the race is probably Isaac Del Toro and he's Pogachar is teammate and that's going to be a problem quite a few times throughout the year. And Strat is a specific specifically difficult race for everybody else because it's, it's not, it's more straightforward

than the most monuments, especially a race like planners or Rubey, it's almost formulaic. You have these long, these climbs are harder than I remember. I rewatched the last few years over the last few days and these are hard climbs and they allow you ages to get on the front,

string it out, Pogachar attacks. It's very hard to respond to them. It's the almost the perfect, these Italian classics of the perfect courses for him, hard to stop.

“But do you remember who launched the attack last year?”

It was not Pogachar, which I was, it was Pogachar. Pogachar was Pogachar was 78 K to go. Pogachar attacked, tried to, I guess, get ahead of Pogachar. But what I ended up doing was isolating the two of them and then Pogachar won.

But I'd say on balance, good move because he gave up. He isolated Pogachar, forcing to make a mistake. He crashes, Pogachar could have won that race. So it's not, it's not a guarantee thing, but it's as close as you get.

Now, maybe we all know Pogachar's bike handling skills. And that's something because Pogachar is one of the best bike handlers also. Yes. But Pogachar has this extra skill and he was trying to put

Pogachar under pressure in corners on downhills and it's part of a race. So I agree, if Pogachar, I mean, this is probably a race that suits Pogachar, one of the best. I mean, you said at the beginning, Spencer potentially

the sixth monument, I will have to disagree with that. It's not a sixth monument.

And it will never be the sixth monument.

The race doesn't have a long enough history. And it's two hundred and it's two hundred.

“It's even, I think it's, it's one hundred and ninety six”

skates here or something. I think it's two hundred and three K this year. That's what sub 200 in the race I have. It's hard, it's a very hard race, don't get me wrong. But there is not enough history there.

And the distance needs to be a monument. It's two fifty plus, right? Yeah, it's the reason why there's only five months. It does matter more than people think. Oh yeah, I think, I think, I think Spencer with the toughness

of this race, two fifty is too much. If you see already how they finish now of the 200 K, another extra fifty of sixty kilometers, that's, you know, it would not, I don't think it would add to the attractiveness of the race, you know, it would make people more, you know, make more conservative.

And I don't think it would be in the benefit of the race. So I kind of applaud Strada Bianca to keep that race with that distance. There's plenty of terrain for, for everybody to show what they have. Yeah, I mean, I'm curious to see tomorrow, Spencer Paul

SHS, SHS is obviously we talked about it in the other show. He's in great form, you know, was very strong. Oh, God of it was super strong within that race. He won in France, super impressive, you know, reportedly did exactly the same time, that's the day Bogdachar on that climb, the

time of the European Championships, where Bogdachar attacked him in a way, so Bogdach, SHS did identical same time, which says something about his level, right?

I have no doubt that SHS has that skill.

He's a complete bike rider, so he'll be right in there. If it's a hard race, SHS is going to be in there, you know, maybe I don't know what you think, but I would say for the moment, with what we've seen in the level HHS has gotten to, who's probably top five, top five best riders in the world.

It's a ridiculous, because he's on a race of grand tour, but it could be, I mean, potentially, potentially, and especially, I mean, this is very exciting. I couldn't tell you if he's a great gravel bike dealer or not, because he's only race like eight races that have been on television,

because he's a child and in most of his races are on TV. So maybe he's great, I'm gravel, we have no idea.

“But I think with these climbs when I was rewatching past years,”

I thought there's there's so few riders that even have the physiology to stay with for Gachar. And SHS is probably one of them, as you said at the same time,

on the climb last weekend, so in theory, he could not get dropped.

And we're going to point, we're not getting dropped at the initial attack is like a victory. So once you're in the game, who knows what could happen? But I'm quite excited to see what Paul SHS can do. If you're a sport, would have us believe his name was Paul SHS.

I cannot imagine that's the pronunciation. Do you think, I think it is SHS, but not SHS. It's SHS. SHS, I can see if I can quickly, because there's this little feature on pro cycling stands, right?

So let's see. For SHS. SHS, SHS. Oh, man. No, this is SHS.

SHS, SHS. This is trying to, this is hang on here. Here we go. What is SHS? SHS, almost like SHS.

It's Paul's SHS. And I do kind of agree with you.

“I think where the point was like, yes, it's a top fiber rider.”

I'm very excited to see what he does. The big question I have for you is, how the room we-- By the way, Spencer, we talked about it last time. The roomers are being confirmed. I mean, it's not 100%, but it is very, very likely.

He's going to do the tour de France this year. I'm not shocked here that I think. Yeah, immensely, if you can handle it physically, it's probably. He must be as physically developed as a folk, like a veteran professional. If he can do these races like that.

Spencer, listen, let's hope for the rivals that that's the case, because if he keeps improving, but we can't say any more about Paul's SHS right now, OK, let's save him, let's let him develop. He is already at the top top level right now. Yeah.

I think what's what probably is to happen is that, you know, by riding a full program, a ground tour, he will probably have a continuous level of high performance, where maybe now it's maybe going to be a bit up and down, which would be more than logical.

And maybe not, maybe he's going to be top level the whole year, we don't know, but I mean, this is Saturday's a great test. You know, it's with the big dogs, right? And it's a very, very hot race, it's an honest race. So he'll be up there, for sure.

I kind of reminds me of Matthew Vanderpool. Like when he was younger, he'd have these mountain peaks, the highest of the highest of ever seen, but he wasn't so consistent. Now we kind of homes along at this just the discriminator level. Here's the odd, just the people are interested.

I pulled this from draft kings. They're also on Fandel in the US. Fandel, I've found the odds to be slightly better. I got your minus 300.

“That means you have to bet $300 to win a hundred,”

which frankly could be a good deal. He's at the Tour of plus 700. Tom Pickock plus 900, meaning if you bet $100, you win $900 in profit. Paul, six hours plus 1200,

we're not plus 1400. Roman Gork, where I go, plus 2,200. And he nearly plus 3,000. Pedro Jorgensen plus 3,000. Yeah, Christian, Christian plus 3,000. T, but a grass, plus 6,500.

My tires about check plus 8,000.

Tom's screens, who got second two years ago, plus 15,000.

The Fagotcha might be the pick there. The question I have for you is, he's at the Tour of plus 700. I would not be shocked if he's yet second. But how are they going to play this?

Because I rewatch last year. And you know, who is leading out, Pagotcha was Isaac del Toro. Who was on Montes, Montes, Montes, Montes, Montes, Montes, Montes, Maria. And then after that, Pagotcha attacking, it was Pickock with Tact, right?

Yeah, Pickock and then Pagotcha kind of built up that attack. And they were gone. And if you remember, Tim Wellenz and you got third, he's gone this year. So they're down a man already.

Do they hold back del Toro and then someone else

I mean, this and they have plenty of guys. What's that? What's that?

“It's so Christian, Christian to the other.”

Christian is, I don't know what he's trying to have. If they had decent talk with him and because Christian seems to me, like a guy who's, I'm not going to say mini, I used to, but there's certain similarities there.

Like, you know, it's not known to always give it a hundred percent

for the team when he has to. So, but Christian is a guy who could do the lead out and then the Toro takes over. Listen, if Christian does lead out and the Toro takes over, the chances that the Toro and Pagotcha go two of them

are very high. Yeah, yeah. I would say, I mean, Pagotcha has a superstar aura in person. Yeah. Who would be shocked if Christian doesn't fall?

Yeah, I'll do it. He should do it. I mean, yeah, probably, I mean, he will probably do it. Who else do they have on the team? They have, so they've, young Christian,

the Toro, Gorobch, Gorobch. Gorobch, Gorobch, Gorobch, Gorobch Avenue, yeah. Domino back, Kevin Vermarca, who could play that role too. Also, if Lauren Vermeesh, this is an incredible time team. Wow.

Yeah. I mean, I like Kevin, and I know, and I'm biased,

“but I think he could actually play that punch role.”

Well, probably at the beginning of Montsom. Somebody, depending on, it's all the pen Spencer, what UAE needs to do before, you know, I mean, if you look at Novak, Florian Vermeesh and Kevin Vermarca, they will have to do a lot of work at the beginning already

because let's not forget that the whole responsibility, the whole weight of this race is on team UAE. So, what does that mean? Anything that happens, and there are going to be groups going, and then it's a negative passive way of racing

because everybody says, okay UAE, you're so strong. Figured out now, you know, solve the problem. So that's hard, you know, that's hard for a team. And especially now they're teams of seven riders. So it might be very well, and most likely that, you know,

guy like Vermarca, as they had spend already so much energy before that he won't be able to do the lead out on Montsomari. I could see that. But yeah, I mean, listen, they still have a lot of guys to do with, you know, very strong team.

“So growth partner, growth partner, and Christian,”

and the autoro and bogature of the three, the four climbers of and then the three others will be for Vermarca, Novak and Vermarca will be the, the work horses. - Yeah, and there's a big, it's kind of a funny race

because there's a big climb that we never see.

That like I rewatched last year and it clipped on, like the coverage comes on right after the climb. So I'd imagine they're going to burn through all everybody except those elite climbers. It's a funny race because you turned it on and the race is on.

Like they're in the middle of the battle. You know, normally see that with the race, but you're on. Let's take a quick ad break. And then I'm going to talk about I have some bad news for American listeners. And then I'm going to have a few more questions about the race for you when we come back.

It's not on there, um, Toronto ad radical ways on Monday, but not shot a Bianchi. So maybe it gets added in the next two days. If it does not, you're going to have to pirate it aboard a board of board of your ship and get on the high seas or use a VPN to say you're watching for Canada and watch Shumflow bikes, which is how I watch most races, but just pray and check HBO Max.

It's weird that it wouldn't be on there. I don't know. Well Spencer, we're in Italy.

You know, there's always, there's always having hash out the deal yet.

There's always, uh, last minute, uh, yeah, I keep saying this. I can't believe it happened, but the teams started this year of years ago and they didn't have their third week hotels. It's like, whoa, cut, cut in the clothes. Been there and done that as a while, and I'm sure I'm sure they're bucking you up the

nicest ones when they're bucking that late. Um, so let's, we got shares of favorite, obviously. Dol Toro is probably second favorite. How does, if they dive, UAE does not win.

“I think both of us expect them to put that strong team on the front, new, everybody on the”

first-art climb and then launch Bugachar in the second-art climb, Monday, San Marie. If they don't win, how does that happen? Is that a crash from Bugachar and then who of these other riders, who do you think potentially could win? Um, I mean, it's, it's, it's possible because it's bike racing.

Things can almost happen last year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen, it's Bugachar doesn't get back up, for sure, for sure.

I think I think, you know, the guys we talked about, Tidcock, although Pidcock was not impressive at all and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, you know, but it's different time. It's not the same race, different race, different temperature, different climate. This is a really good race for Pidcock.

So he's great at positioning on in these in these kind of races. Um, Pussexas, and Pussexas, that performance Spencer, he did it on that climb. There is nobody else who has done this type of performance in the last two years, except that Bugachar. Uh, if you can do that, uh, and, and then on top of that, what was really impressive is that, you know,

he did that performance on that climb and then rolled two minutes away from everybody. I know, I know. That's Paul Gachar-esque. Right? That tells you he's, he's dropping everyone at such a relatively easy effort.

He has that much left to pile it on. Yeah. That's yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah.

Um, so I'm curious to see him, uh, whatever he did last weekend, he's still, and he still has that shape.

“He still has that form, you know, I think, I think he's an underpriced plus 1200.”

I think that's probably if you're looking for a bargain, that's the one to bet on. Well, yeah, and the thing is, okay, obviously, you know, if he can stay with Bugachar, he won't win, you know, because Bugachar's going to be a minutes print. Well, we should say a finish is up in an incredibly steep climb to the square and

see, you know, like very steep webinar in his first edition, cramped and fell up as

bike on this. I'm going to, I'm going to actually do that on Sunday because on Sunday, we do the

And so I'm going to have a feel of how steep it really is.

“I think it's a lot steeper than what it looks on TV.”

Uh, thanks. And Bugachar of the caliber of Ben Art is falling off his bike. It's kind of huge. Yeah. Well, okay, it was Spencer.

We need to take that with a green assault because that was when Van Art was starting as a road racer, right?

It was in his first full season on the road.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Like, let me try out this sport. It's funny.

So what happened in this race, the last time of Peloton came to this square, Ben Art won, as stage nine of the year to tell you, beat Del Toro. But do you, I personally think the race has gotten too hard for Wavinar to repeat a victory? Do you agree?

Yes. Yes. I do.

I mean, this is now the reason, publicly, uh, I'm going to put it on the pool set at public

he said, I'm not going anymore because it's coming, it's put came a claim, a climbers race. And, you know, we've seen also, we've seen more and more this trend with these like five six specific, you know, big riders that whatever they can win, they don't start. Um, and so, yeah, I mean, I understand from another pool, he knows that if Del Toro and Pugachar and say South or there, he can't win.

That's too hard. Innovation over it. Yeah, I can understand a one day, if you can't win, you think you can't win and then you have a stage race on Monday, maybe maybe skip that one day race, even though we should say this is that we're kind of being down on it.

It is a beautiful race. It's one of my favorite races to watch.

“I think you're right, not every race has to be a monument, you know, it's nice that”

it's shorter. It knows what it is. Started in 2007 and has gotten incredibly popular, very massive, a lot of new races don't get popular, so we commend it for that. I probably think Pugachar wins, and I think we probably both think Paul Seychoss is

the pick outside of that. Is there a chance that, obviously, about this, is you a, do they had fake everybody? And instead of blowing the race up, do they sit back and say, hey, you guys want to win? You got to drop us, order for is that not going to happen? No, they're going to take responsibility.

They're race the whole season like this, yeah, I think they're taking a draw the race and they're not going to let anything, you know, uncontrollable happen, whatever, whatever can be controlled, they will control, and then there's things that are out of your hands. That's that's part of the bike race, but whenever they can control, they will, they will. If something happens, they have the Torah sitting there, so a pretty position that they're

in. No, I don't envy their rivals. This is a crazy fact, do you know how many riders over the age of 30 have won this race? What's the other, maybe it was not 30 yet, because that was in, he was still here. He was still in the MC, I think he was on the other side, I think he was on the MC, we've got

second twice. He didn't win, no, okay, one year, I remember, one year he was up there, and it was Steebar, who I think, if I'm not mistaken, Steebar and Gipkowski were the two people at the beginning, I mean like a race, now there's no way to control it, I can win this, on this course, you know, I mean he was definitely not enough of a climber, he didn't

understand. Man, one, two are as far as the line, so he did win two or so, it's not correct, he did. Maybe, yeah, could Pete Kanchalara be, Pete Pagachar on this course, I mean the race was a, that's just physically way easier than it had less climbing too, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, that shows you what we're dealing with, the racing has gotten so hard that

someone like Bobby Kanchalara, one of the strongest riders, probably never write a bike,

wouldn't even be a contender for this. Like that's, that shows you the sound today, onto the race course, onto the race course.

“On today's course, yeah, and that's why San Ramo, we're going to adjourn, come back”

for San Ramo and it's kind of the opposite of this, everything's on the table, because the course is easier, which probably makes it a little bit better, you have anything else to say about this race before we move on to this, I'm super excited to be here on this spot, and yeah, we're, to go watch on Saturday and then ride it on Sunday. So yeah, but anyways, on Saturday, we often race, we have, we have a podcast analysis

Yeah, so it's going to be, yeah, George and you will be on the ground, and it should be good insight for the show.

“Let's take another quick break, and then we'll talk about this stage racing.”

Everybody, this episode is brought to you by Caldera Lab, Caldera Lab makes high performance skin care design specifically for men's skin. Why is this important?

You kind of started by Paris, they'd think around in that region, and then they, they start quickly going down the knees, fun race because you see the weather just gets unrecognizable as the same country wants to get the knees. It's very hard racing traditionally in the first sick windy, wet, lot of crosswinds start today.

Like, hilly stage, sprint stage, stage one, hilly stage two, sprint stage three, team time trial, what it's one of these ASO classic time trials where they count the time from the first rider. So it's how they're going to do at the tour this year. It makes you think about it differently than a normal team time trial.

Up till finish, stage four, up till finish, stage five, hilly mountain stage, stage six, mountain stage, like really tough, some of finish on stage seven, and then this classic knees to knee circuit race, not circuit hard, very hard, very hard. Yeah, that's a, they do multiple loops around these up, down, cold, does very hard, very tricky race can be won and lost on that on Sunday.

These starters are Dwell, made a, these are just like big big ones of picking out. You want to spend a guard, why don't you so Oscar only, Kevin Buckleham, Lindy Martinez, Gamosa, Phenium, you're my, during go down, who probably is going to win a stage, Malon Fritton, who who win a stage, even a roommate, who would win a stage, and it goes

“on half of Syvacov is there, but I think this is going to be fascinating.”

I'm really interested to watch the ometa, then a guard, are you so, the only GC battle. It's interesting. This is going to be a really interesting racepenser because, you know, these guys are strong and they are quite equal. You would say normally, you know, if it's, if this is like a, you know, a super hard race,

you own us is in theory, a level above these guys, and then you have, though, they who do levels above the, so we don't know how you own us, listen, the fact that he starts,

the fact that he added it to his calendar when it was not first in the plan tells me that

he's ready, otherwise he would not have added it to the, to the, to the program. So you own us has to be the big favourites, I think, a weather can be a big factor in Parinese usually, and they don't call it for nothing. They're race to the sun, you know, they're race to the sun, so you start, you don't see the sun, and gradually you start seeing the sun as you go out, but yeah, I mean, yeah,

“we can also perform as well in, in bad conditions, I think, I think it's, it's Jonas”

and all Mayda and I use so the three big favourites, only is up there, but I think these three are probably, I mean, I'm expecting all Mayda already on a higher level than, then on in L'Oigarfe. So yeah, I think we talked about the favourites, it's, it's 15 Champions now, year rather, with the Germans and, okay, he just did it in all the article, yeah, so you

I mean, Lenny Martinez can, in my opinion, cannot win this race, let's see, he's like in the

front of an echelon and they're all caught out, I mean, that, I guess, what's he going to mean, the Dean Thantrell, I mean, he's going to, they're going to lose time in the Dean Thantrell already. Yeah, I mean, Lenny Martinez is probably not going to win this race, what I mean, if I had to pick a Frenchman, gun in my head, I'd pick Kevin Buckle, actually to win this race. Yeah, he can't, it reminds me of a potato, Jordan's, and who do you

would not expect to go up against these guys and win, but can do it on a pair and use that course, I'm quite curious to see how Jonas looks. We haven't seen him for a long time. He couldn't, you, I've seen, I've seen picture Spencer, and he crashed out last year.

Got, got his wrist. Yeah, I never won this race. The pictures I've seen as is, you know,

is that he is very good conditions, skinny, super, super in shape. I mean, everything's going toward him showing up to this race and smack in everybody and kind of reminding us the goal between not only, we got Jordan Jonas, but Jonas and everybody else. Yeah,

“the only thing I'm wondering about is, it's kind of go time for one of you. So, you know,”

goes to a new team doesn't, you know, leaves you a bad taste in his mouth, did not go that well, probably felt underappreciated. That, like, you want to be the guy, this is I'd be the, you step up and you be the current guy. So, and he's very good at one week's stages. That's the only person I can see beating up in the garden. It's race. Yeah. Yeah, I used to listen. I used for the big talent. One, I'll, one, I'll Garvey, straight away,

first race delivered to his new team. And this is another step up, you know, the other

race, the, you know, the equivalent of Pyrenees, Pyrenees, Adriatico, who won that last year, one of you. So, you know, so, yeah, you have to count him as one of the favorites. And it's kind of cool that he's, you know, we were complaining about it. The only people that can be put in a car on his own team. It's cool that A, what, I used his no longer on you. And then it's coming to Pyrenees. So, we have Jonas and him going head to head versus

the split program is common. You know, like, we got char would do Torino and Jonas does Pyrenees, so they don't have to face off against each other. Speaking of Torino, Adriatico starts on Monday, goes to Sunday. So, it's one stage shorter. Starts with his classic time trial. It's a hot dog, you know, go up one side of the street down the other side

“of the street. Time trial, 11 K long. Uphill finish on stage due gravel uphill too. I believe”

quite steep. I'm looking at it now. It's like 7% gravel ramp for over a kilometer, a pencil Vanderpool and it's the one of their stage three sprint stage four hillies, stage five hillies, stage six, some of finished stage seven classic. I don't know why they do this. They finish it with a sprint stage, like it's a grand tour, but it's a seven day stage race. Interesting, startless here. He's like the autoro fresh off a strata win who knows

going to do it. And then we have Matthew Vanderpool, Woutvin are Mateo Jorgensen. And then the sprinters are interesting. Arno de Lee, Paul Monne, Christian's grown is here. He might win this whole thing. This is early enough in the year. Scroony could win every stage and the overall. No, there's no one better at winning early season races than him. Felix Gaul also here, Ben Healy, Michael's store, who's someone to watch actually in Tony of

debrief, someone to watch. And then out of hibernation, out of his cave and the Alps, Primo's Rockwich is coming to the start line. That's going to be interesting. Yeah. I'm curious to see how Primo's is going to show up. I mean, listen, if we go off, what we've seen from Red Bull at the beginning of the season, they've done their homework. You know, all the races have seen from Red Bull, they were present and they were in certain

“races. They were dominating and putting their stamp on the race. Primo's, I think we should,”

we should, we have to respect the guy like Primo's because of what he did. And the guy's a pro, you know, he's going to be, he's going to be. This, this is going to be the most important stage race, but sir, the author, I will look at the author of another pool of an art, you're going to bring us, uh, well, the invader pool, we're going to be over stages, of course, but, uh, you know, if you look at the author versus Primo's versus Jorgensen,

we could, we could have a have a really good race on our heads. Yeah. And I would fully book on a series, almost one this last year, but they made it slightly more difficult, especially stage six. The summit finish is not long. It's three and a half K, but it's nine percent average, which is good for Primo's. So, also good for Del Toro, I would imagine. So, I'm quite curious to see how this plays out. I probably, I probably would pick Primo's,

can do it, and they can't do it. It's Felizari racing. He is he is racing his team. Okay.

Now, I would not say this is not his specialty, like a explosive nine K summit finish, explosive, he's a good rider, one K. I mean, I, I, no one loves no one loves a more than I do.

“I think the pride guy, I could probably win the zero to tie a fee. How about it? He barely is,”

he barely racing. He is racing. He can be. Okay. We need to call it, you know, and those guys

we need to mention that them together. Jonathan on here is here as well. I don't think an Italian

“has won this race since, me, Billy, and 1213. Wow. So, they tried to, they tried to”

engineer the root last year for Jonathan winning and he didn't like do it. Um,

Teabary got third last year here. Okay. Interesting. I mean, yeah, I don't know. Probably, I don't

know, we don't tour our wins for being honest, but you guys so strong. But I'm curious to see how it plays out. There's Italians could surprise us, anything else you know on before we take off. No, that's it. You know, we got the opening weekend of the classics out of the way. So, you know, we in Belgium say, okay, they're real cycling season has started and now with Parinese and Delano, that's, you know, the stage rate of six season has started, the real one.

“So, we'll be back to report on that next week. Do you think Jonas vinegar wins Parinese?”

I think so. Yeah, me too. But yeah, that's, I mean, both of these we have were spoiled for choice next week. Two interesting stages has gone on the same time. Enjoy the race. We'll talk on the site on the Saturday before you take Grandfather on Sunday. Okay, thank you. All right, thank you all.
