“gold, one, I'm a little bit newsblocks, one, two, of Denmark several times, I think other, I mean,”
other big races, and then I just checked, I mean, he hadn't, he hadn't before, today's this year's Stageman Entireno, he hadn't won a single race since 2021, you know, we saw that when he crashed, I think it must have been 2022, this accident or whatever it was, and then he was kind of forced to go back to the devotee of, yeah, to get a lighter program and get back into it, so it must have been a really serious, serious injury, and, you know, after all these struggles to be back, and when
a stage like this, it's nice to see, and it's nice to see a veteran, like him, win against, you know, into the cycling, where, you know, the young guys are dominating and also winning the way he won, you know, with, with, with, really, he was really smart. Everybody, welcome back to the move plus, I'm Spencer Martin. I'm here with the O'Hunbroneel.
“We are breaking down Stage 17 of this year, or entirely a one by Michael Valgrin with a beautiful”
late move out of a breakaway to win the stage, and of put a put an exclamation point on the second
end of his career, has had a lot of injury problems in recent years. We will talk about it, Andreas Le Knudsen was second. Domana Caruso was third. I know Rubio, who was kind of the, the strongest guy in the, the splits of the split was fifth. Well, we'll get Yohan's take on that. No change in the GC, except we had a few people in the bottom half of the top 10 drop down because Caruso jumped up so much. He's now ninth overall because he was in that move. I'm just a quick
recap of the stage. It starts on the flat. The Jiro loves these flat starts. It just makes it super fast. They're going 60, 65 K an hour. And the first 30 minutes of the race was really
hard for a break to get away. A small move kind of noodles off the front before the first climb.
But the big hitters like Jonathan Navaya is in Julia, O'Hunbrone, just wait until they get to the climb. They attack, get a counter move up the road. Ben O'Connor tried to get into the move, but was marked out of it aggressively by Visma who was almost a new that was coming. So I, before the stage, I would have said, oh, watch out for Ben O'Connor in the breakaway, but he had the idea. They knew it was coming. Didn't work. Jukone, Narvaya, get up the road. But before they get there,
Rimee Kavanya, who was already in the front group attacks before they bridge up with 1308 K to go. He gets a massive gap. Like two minute gap on the breakaway. I'm thinking this guy's going to stay away. It starts to hail rain. He starts to come back. It was also about 35 degrees Celsius. So boiling out there, hard to stay away that far. Break gets reeled. That gets reeled and break starts to break up. It's hard for a breakaway of that size to stay together. And then on the final
climb, Rubio and Vagrin are away. Igor and Arietta bridges up with Caruso and let Nixon and then Vagrin beautiful attack with one kid to go. No notes on the attack. It was they, they were watched them go. And by the time they responded, he was gone. Johann, what would you take away on the stage? Yeah, you summed it up perfectly, Spencer. I mean, take away, take off the stage,
obviously. It was very entertaining to watch this breakaway. You know, first of all,
get together 11 riders from 18 riders behind, which you call in and out of ice. And then others strong, really strong riders. Kavanya goes by himself, which, you know, I don't know what he was doing.
“That was, I mean, obviously, I think he, you know, one of the ideas behind the attack. It wasn't”
really an attack. You know, all of a sudden he was like 10 meters in front of each and he just kept going. One of the ideas behind that is, okay, let's see if I can find three or four companions, because this group is way too big. They were multiple teams with multiple riders, movie star, even had, I think four riders in there at some point, movie star, at least three, maybe four, before.
UAE had three riders in there.
see if I can get one of each with me that didn't happen. And then, yeah, I mean, what we could really
“see was that both Chicona and Narvice were the two really marked riders in this breakaway.”
You know, whenever whatever they tried to do, they were on them, the other teams with multiple riders. Yeah, I mean, from the moment these, was it like six or seven riders went and Narvice and Chicona were not in there. You could see, okay, that was, that was it. That was the Fugada Fugada. Yeah, right. Yeah. And yeah, I mean, it's, I mean, Rubio seemed, by far, the strongest rider on all the climbs. Volgrain was strong also. Arietta was, you know, coming back, getting dropped again.
But man, what a win. What a win for Michael Volgrain. And he was suffering, suffering,
suffering to stay on on, in a Rubio's wheel. Several times, we could see in a Rubio asking for
collaboration, where Volgrain just said, no, I can't, you know, and it was not because he didn't want to. He just could not physically. He had to, you know, do everything he could to stay on the wheel. And, you know, it's a nice win for him. You know, we have, we have talked about him in Tireo in Adriatico this year. He won a nice stage there. Really hard stage, by the way. He won. Really hard. And that was kind of his, his, his moment back from, I mean, we, we, I don't exactly know the details,
but I do know he had a career threatening a crash. Let's not forget this guy is, has been around for a while. He's 34 years old. One, I'm still gold. One, I'm a little bit news blood. One,
“two of Denmark several times. I think, other, I mean, other big races. And then I just checked.”
I mean, he hadn't, he hadn't before today's this year's stage when in Tireo. He hadn't won a single race since 2021. You know, we, we saw that when he crashed, I think it must have in 2022. This, this accident or whatever it was, and then he, he was kind of forced to go back to the devotee of, yeah, yeah, to get a lighter program and get back into it. So it must have been a really serious serious injury. And, you know, after all these struggles to be back and when a stage
like this, it's, it's nice to see. And it's nice to see a veteran like him win against, you know, in today's cycling, where, you know, the young guys are dominating and also winning the way he, he won, you know, with, with, with really, he was really smart and new to find his exact moment
“to go. And the moment he went, Spencer, it was not really a surprise. I think everybody was just”
ran out of legs and then that's when, that's when these guys can go. So yeah, really, really nice win for, for Vaughan, and also really nice win for EF because until now, they haven't done that much, not in this zero and not in the whole season. So, it kind of makes their zero this stage win. And that's it. I mean, that they really needed, I think. Yeah, they have three stage win. They have three wins this year, this stage, a veteran stage, a terraino, and then Luke Lampertis stage
won a pair of knees. I forgot about that. Good job. I forgot you won that. But that's not a good showing for that team. They needed something out of this race, Vaughan delivered. It looks obvious when you go back and watch it. Hey, why don't everyone just attack with one kid to go? But it also, it's, it's like quick sand. It's happening so fast because I rewatched the attack right before it recorded. And they have maybe two seconds. And once that's elapsed, it's too, it's too late.
You saw Lexington and try to counter. He doesn't make it. Nobody wants to respond initially because if you respond, then maybe someone follows you and then they win. So, I mean, it's a beautiful, beautiful move, 34 year old veteran here. Listen to these injuries. This is in 2022 at Oxetani. Vaughan crashes, fractured pelvis, dislocated hip, torn ACL, MCL, Maniscus. So that's pretty much your entire knee as well as pelvis and hip. Wow. That's normally, I mean, that's game over.
Yeah. You come back from that. That's, wow, I didn't know it was that bad. Well, and I mean, which, I didn't know it was that bad either. It explains why he was on the development. Can you imagine, he will must have been what? And he must have been 30, 31. Yeah, and indeed, he was 30, 30 years. Yeah, 31 US. Yeah. Yeah. And like the maturity would take,
even just traveling around with, you know, you're traveling around with kids, basically,
doing kids races. That would be, well, yes, if we go wrong, those kinds of, you know, the nice
Thing about the system is that you can write on that devotee, but they can st...
to other races. Is that only a non-world to a races or is it all races? So only non-world to races,
“but still, there's a lot of nice races. And I think he actually needed that, you know,”
I don't think that his state and his physical fitness was ready for the world to races. So I think it was, I mean, it was nice from the team to to keep him. And, I mean, I'm catching myself saying nice things about EF and everybody knows how. This like the, the manager of that team, but it's nice of the team to keep him on board and give him that opportunity, because there are teams that actually, you know, when a rider is injured, they kind of try to
give him your opportunity. And then, you know, when, when after a few months when it doesn't work out,
they just say, okay, you know what, it's not going to work out. We can renew your contract. So
boggling, I think boggling is going to be very, very grateful for that. And, you know, you can expect him to finish his career on that team and then probably even go into a management role later on. Anyways, I'm, let's not talk about that. You just want to say, you know, it was a stage. You can win a tournament, but yeah, it was, it was nice. And he was, you know, you know, what Rubio was physically the strongest, uh, boggling was, combined physically and experienced wise, the strongest of the
breakaway. So, well done. And so, tell me, so also Scandinavian one, two, we had Danish win, Norwegian runner up, what is this, the sixth Scandinavian win of the stage one of the Giro, because Jonas has four, yeah, we have Norwegian on Sunday, and then, boggling again today. So,
six seconds. Second time, second for Leckneson, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, it is. Poor Leckneson.
Yeah, that's probably how this one. Yeah. Tell them, I mean, this shows you why,
“why you should study your racing tactics. Tell me, I'm going to list these guys. Tell me”
if they're stronger, climber than boggling. Let, let Nixon, you would say yes, right? Top 10 overall, to Giro in the past. Probably, yeah. Yeah. Caruso. Yeah, definitely. Flassoff, definitely. Rubio, definitely, Arietta. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. David De La Cruz. Definitely. Yeah, right? Narvayas, you probably say yes. Florian, Stork, Yonhurt, Julia Jakone, and he wins out of that group. Yeah, that is super impressive. No, that was it was. I mean, okay, today is what's
definitely stage where, you know, a strong puncher can keep up with climbers. But yeah, I mean, this, and you have to be able to manage your efforts and be smart and really know when to go, when to sit back. He was by himself. There was no other EF in the break, no? There was initially initially. Initially, initially. Yeah. And I mean, I think it was key to to be with Rubio when the climb starts because those guys bridge up. If Valgrin has to bridge up,
does he make it? You know, maybe not. I don't know. So he had a little bit of a head start on those guys. Just yeah, impressive all around. Nothing, nothing really, I've noted the GC, right? Except, I mean, what do you think about Visma? Why are they the ones Mark? You know, Connor? They just want to, they don't want any monkey business? I mean, Connor, he's what he's, what is he six or seven minutes down already? He's more than that. He's nine and a half minutes now.
I would have, I mean, you know, what? I mean, yeah, I would just let him go and let him go and then you kind of, you know, other teams will come, other teams will come, you know, who are threatened
“by your Connor for the top 10 or top five? That's what I asked. Yeah. But with listen, I mean,”
listen, they, they're in control. They know what they're doing. They didn't spend, I mean, it's, well, what I haven't seen that moment when you know, Connor attacked the, it was a brief moment, no, they did, they just chatted down and that's it. Yeah, it's when Chikone, it's when all the, all the good, the good guys went. Like Chikone in a virus because they were waiting for the climb. Oh, Connor said, hey, I'm going to jump into this move. But, you know, I was thinking about George when
that was like, I went to gunna like us. It's like, I don't have a lot of friends after this. No, times of gone by the way, those times of gone, you know, just people just ride their own race, not there's no more politics. There's no more, you know, giving stages away. That's over. That those times are gone. Yeah, I even saw a headline. What was that? It was the other day like no gifts. It's like, well, no, I think it was about Jonas. It was like,
yeah, what are you talking about gifts? There's no, there's no gifts. Like, that's not a thing that would happen anymore. I mean, another highlight of the stage to the art of the day Spencer for me was that Jonas shaved off his mustache. I got a lighter. I liked it. You know, there's not a lot of
Others to talk about about the stage, although the writers who have phrased i...
me that there was not much going on. But, you know, I don't know why he was growing that mustache.
“And then he was, I mean, it's a different Jonas we see, I think in this race, you know, he's,”
I mean, at least when he's talking to his Danish commentator, Anders from Eurosport, he's always
trying to be a bit funny. So he said that, you know, this morning he looked in the mirror and he said, he thought by himself, you know, I look like a teenager who's trying to grow a mustache and doesn't really work out. So the mustache has to go. That's pretty funny. Yeah. I think you know, it looks better like this. It's like the Scandinavian mustache, where it's so bland. Like, they're mustache there. What's going on? Yeah. And they're doing the heat kind of broke. Like it was
35 degrees at the start, which is very hot. You could tell people were uncomfortable and hot. There was people pulling over to take number two bathroom breaks, which is something that happens when it's really hot. And you're slamming a lot of carbs like these guys are. I assume it's like I'm looking at the weather tomorrow. It's like down to the mid 20s, like 26. So normal zero heat. And those five six degrees change a lot. You know, yeah, like 35 is really hot
to be racing. And then the thing in Europe is you're not cooling down as much as you would in North America as in North America every building you go in. It's freezing cold no matter how warm
it is out. These guys like who knows if they're hotels of AC, like you're kind of always uncomfortable
and it can make it harder to perform. But they should be getting a slight reprieve with the weather.
“Should we move? Should we preview tomorrow's stage? Anything else to say about this one?”
I don't think so, Spencer. I think we mean, you know, there was a lot going on, but I think we covered everything. Team that had won wins. So we finally are getting someone else in the mix there. That's good. That's good. You know, in the usual suspects for there, you know what I mean? It's these kind of stages. It's the strong guys. I mean, if you look at the composition of these group men, you know, initially you have a, you know, a following Kavanja, Milesi, a young Christian
Leknesson, Caruso, Chicona, Enric, Mass, Enrubio, David de Acruz, Blassof, Arieta, Narvais. I mean, that's, that's just the ones that for me stand out. So be initially there was 29 riders together. So that was a difficult one. I mean, it was a very, a very costly one to win. You know, it was,
it was not, I'm never going to be easy to win this stage from now. No, it's actually you read that
list, you know, that's impossible. It's impossible to win that stage. And the Bulgarian does it. I mean, also just on this comeback. So we don't gloss over it. So he has four world tour wins in his career. 50% of them have come in the last two months, you know, two, they know in the zero. And so the other ones is what I'm still in. Oh, look. Yep, in 2018. Okay. Well, ready. Yeah, long time ago. I remember those vividly and it's like, well, this is going to be the next great
“rider. And he took, I think he had a bit of a, some sort of issue, or he was, he was off form for”
a couple of years and then he had the crash, which said him back even more years. So it's great to see him back. We could say enough. Nice things about him. Sure, but well, is there? And the peloton we should say like nothing happened, but Vizmoh was with pace him pretty hard for the first half of the stage. Like if you were in that group, you would not say nothing happened. It looked kind of miserable, actually until the rain came. Well, and let's see, let's have a quick look at
the average speed of the day. It's probably pretty far. 43k an hour. Wow. That's really fast. There was 3,250 meters of elevation in total. So yeah, that's not a walk in the park, man. That's that's fast. And the GC group finished. Do we know how far down? Five minutes around. That's not behind that far behind. No, no, no. No, you would expect like a big group like that. They, you know, they could take 10, 12 minutes. Then of course, you know, the GC top 10 comes into play. Now we have one rider,
Karuso. He was strong. I mean, you know, like 38 years old man, he's, it's his last year, his last zero. I know, I thought he had the stage. Would have been really nice for him also to win. Yeah. And, you know, when he went, it was, it was the really the right moment, you know, one point seven get to go. That's when, um, when Walgreens knew, okay, if this guy doesn't make it, I'm next, and I'm winning. And that's exactly what happened. Yep. I mean, I thought, I thought too. I thought
we had that, but it was a beautiful story. Last year, oh, yeah, 38 years old, he wins. I'm 38.
Wanted to see a 38 year old man, not a young guy like Falgreens, only 34.
these guys are competing against, you know, area. Like, if we, if we had, if you and I had to go on
“a ride with Igor area, we'd say this is, this is the worst experience of our lives. And there's”
these guys in their middle late 30s competing with them. So, and beating them super impressive. I guess you might have, have I seen something, have I seen a rumor or, or is it a, that he's leaving UA for a little trek? Did you see that? I didn't see that. It kind of would make sense. You know, like, there's so many of these. That's a long, really well with Ayuso. Interesting. We'd be on Ayuso's requests that little trek goes after Igor idea, Adieta.
Because this is a great duo for him, but this is an unusual situation on UA. It's probably not going
to be like this for many grand tours where you'd have this freedom. So, unless he wants to be
on a lead out train for Isaac Del Toro, I don't know if there's a big future there for him.
“Do you remember his dad was a DS at Movistar? Any kind of got screwed over with the documentary?”
Did you watch his documentary? Oh, no. I mean, it's not, he didn't get screwed over by the documentary. He, yeah. So, Igor. So, Luis Adieta was a professional cyclist. I think he won a stage in the Vuelta if I'm not mistaken. It was really good Domestique. He was on Banesto and then on Guest de Parn and I think even on Movistar. I don't know. I don't know how long. Probably not. Probably not. I think he finished his career on AG2R.
Then became a DS for Guest de Parn and Movistar. I think then I think there was a conflict between him and Pachivila. Pachivila came in and took over like the whole performance area and they didn't get along and Jose Luis Adieta left for voluntarily.
“Then he got picked up by AG2R. They got along, but he's not there anymore.”
Today I found that he's not there anymore. Oh, bummer. Yeah. And they've had a lot of turnover too. You know, they've like, new management, new ownership come in and change a lot of things. I love Pachivila. I love Pachivila. Pachivila knows what he's talking about. People should listen to Pachivila. But let's take a quick break and then we will preview tomorrow's stage 18. OK, Johan, stage 18. 171 kilometers transition stage. We're just kind of scurrying because we
went into Trento today. Trentino. And we're not going. We could go right into the mountains. And of the Dolomites. No. They're saying no. You don't get to do that. We are scurrying the foothills, the edge of the mountains back down to the plains. I'm not quite sure why we're doing this on stage 18. But it could be there's two Cagar categorized climbs. A Cat 3 mid stage, a Cat 4, which is 1.1 kilometers at 11.5% average. This is around 11 to 12K from the finish line.
That could really trip up any sprinters that get all the way to the finish. You would think this could be a sprint stage. But it could also be a breakaway stage. How do you think it's going to play out? And who's going to win? Yeah, well, I initially mean I hadn't looked at the detail of the profile. So initially, I would say, you know, 1800 meters elevation. Normally it's a bunch of sprint. Now that you say this about this 1.4 kilometers. What is it 1.4 kilometers at 11%.
Yeah, it's hard. Like average average 11%. OK, 90 sprinters. No, but let's say from the top of it, oh, there's only nine cave remaining. No, no, no, no, no. Somebody's going to, I mean, could be a sprint, but like a guy like, I mean, the sky from a star on the other, Thomas Silva, one of the guys who could make it, I personally don't think that Manje or Milan and definitely not Bruno Reagan can make it over a 1.4 kilometer climb at 11%. That's like, that's like the
mood of we almost. I mean, it's a bit less, a bit less, not much less. I mean, you know, you know, I'm looking at the profile right now. And because of the metric system, this will be obvious,
but basically in a kilometer, you gain over a hundred meters. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, not like,
yeah, no, no, the sprinters, I don't think the sprinters can, I mean, and also, you know, what's the problem, Spencer, at this point, you know, stage 18 tomorrow, these guys are tired. You know, I mean, if this is, for example, in week one, I say, you know, what's a few sprinters can get over it. They have this power to do this,
Yeah, three minutes, three minutes, three and a half minute effort.
I don't think, I don't think the real sprinters have it. So if, you know, if it's the first week, it's, you know, 1.4 kilometers, maybe a three and a half minute effort. Some sprinters could potentially
“get close enough that they can come back. But I don't think so. I think I think this is,”
this is too hard for the year sprinters. If the, if the profile of that last climb is really accurate, then then I have difficulty seeing a bunch of sprinters. And here's the next question. So if it's not a bunch of sprinters, I, I grew the other money, I looked, you know, the guy, obviously,
he's incredible. He's got a great career ahead of him. He looks tired. Like you get to see,
at this, when they hit the climb today, can you, I mean, I can't imagine 35 degrees, you're 20, 22 years old, a sprinter, and then you're going 65 can hour on the flat's going into the climb. That's unpleasant. But if they know they can't make it over, does it mean that no one holds the race together in a breakaway gets away? And this is a breakaway stage. I don't, I mean, you know, I'm just thinking now Spencer, you know, so we have, we have, so we have, after these days,
we have Jonathan and Revise back in Chiclamino. Okay. Tomorrow is an amazing opportunity for Nervise. The thing is they only have five riders left, but it's, it's, they had five riders and they had three of them in the breakaway, but they saw if they make it's hard on this, on this climb, make sure that these sprinters are, are dropped, Nervise can definitely podium if it's a sprint of 30, 40 riders. He has one already a stage like this in the sprint. Right, against,
or Luis Olar earlier on this first, this was very similar actually. Yeah. So tomorrow is definitely
a way, a good opportunity for Nervise to score more points and Mania won't score points and, you know, not having to wait until the last day in Rome, if if Mania wins and takes 50 points, then he maybe loses the Chiclamino jersey. I haven't done the math, but tomorrow is a good opportunity to get some more points for Nervise and UE. Well, now, now here reminded me I forgot something on the stage. Another thing about the stage today,
Nervise wins the intermediate sprint and gets ninth on the stage. So the points jersey standings are 157 Nervise is now the leader, Tamania won 45. So, half points.
“Would it not just be easier for Nervise to get in a break without?”
Yeah, but the terrain tomorrow is not, you know, he's going to be marked. I mean, like the Sudal guys are going to be all over Nervise. You know, like that's their opportunity. Tomorrow, the task of the Sudal teammates is be on Nervise and don't let him go in the break. That's their mission. Yeah, you know, so on a stage like tomorrow for a guy like Nervise, it's not that simple to be in the break, especially because now, you know, he's one three stages
already. He's the marked man. Everybody knows he's on great form. And then on top of that, also, you know, I couldn't help but notice today that Nervise, although he was the favorite, but, you know, the resources and the energy are, they are not unlimited. You know, he was good, but he didn't have the super legs, like we've seen him in other stages. Otherwise, he would have closed those gaps.
“With the legs, he had when he bridged that, well, what was it?”
42nd gap in, in, in an 800 meters or something. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't have those legs today. And so, you know, at the end of the of the of the three weeks, and it starts to add up.
So third place on the stage is 12 points. Intermediate. The most one is is 12 points. Yeah,
is he better off? He's treating the intermediate sprint point like it's the finish. Could be. Yeah. Yeah. Is it? Well, now, okay. Well, let's let's do some math. So let's say he scores 15 points tomorrow. The same thing is today. He gets top ten on the stage, winsie, intermediate sprint. So right now, he has 12 points ahead. Let's say he scores scores. Let's just do 12 tomorrow. So he's 24 ahead. Let's then say he scores 12 more in one of the next two
days. There are six point leads. That means if money gets second on the final stage, he wins the jersey. But money will also go for like intermediate sprint points in that five way, too. Yeah. Yeah.
God, he needs to get in the break away pretty much every day.
That's right. The only option. Wow. Also, the neutral, the neutral start tomorrow is a
900 meter descent. Oh, crazy. Hmm. But why, you're on. Why are we doing this? Why are we not just going to the mountains? What's the thought process here? I don't know. It's Italy, man. Don't try to find lobby kids. There is none. It's like, yeah, we get a beautiful mountain stage. Let's do a sprint stage. But this is the more we talk about it. This is kind of an interesting. It's a little bit of a riddle. And I'm curious to see how it plays out. Who do you if you
had to pick a winner? Who do you think's going to win? I kind of think it's going to be a
“break away, man. I think so too. It's difficult. It's going to be somebody who was in the break today.”
If it's a break away, yes. Yes. Like a Mark Donovan or someone, you know. Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to say break away or late, late split. But, you know, I can't imagine Vizmock keeping it together. That makes no sense. And then the thing is Spencer, you know, at this point in the race, there is not enough manpower and energy and left in the teams to do it. So there's some teams that, you know, that they're very aggressive. Movistar super aggressive. Do they foreguys in the break tomorrow? They're going to be back.
So yeah. I don't know. Who of you, he hasn't won a stage. Yeah, and we haven't seen that guy at all. No. I don't think it's going to be him. No, no, no. I don't think so. I don't think so. What about like David Taylor Cruz? He was good today. He was good today, but this, this, the writers who are stronger, you know what I mean? I don't know. What about Chacone is, he just keeps going. You're going to, let's go for Chacone. Okay. I'm kind of a little
little bit different than today. You know, it will just be about that, that final climb is so important. Yeah. But that, that means that Chacone is in the break and then goes away on that line. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The front of the break. If there's no break and it's that 1.4 kilometers with at 11% is DC guys. Yeah, but they won't be, Vismo won't want it. Like what would Vismo have to gain by, you know, that just introduces variables. They don't want. Yeah. Yeah.
“So I think it will be a break. I'm going to go Leknitson. I, I, I feel bad for him. He's got two seconds.”
He's got to win a stage. Come on, it would be nice or Caruso Rubio. I don't think he gave it. He's going to do that. I do give it a lot more. It's not hard enough for him. It's not hard enough for him. But about Jan Christian. Christian. Yeah. Did they also hold all the work today for not a vice? A lot of work. Yeah. I'm going Leknitson. Yeah. I think Christian is not in, in great shape. You know, because we haven't seen the young Christian we are used to see.
We did just the break away yesterday and then start pulling them evenly. Not so we see to do. Yeah. We have we've seen, we've seen him once like really good, which was stage two. When he was a stage two or no, it was a stage, it's actually a stage in a vice one. When he attacked
in the last K and then a vice one in the sprint. Finally, that was a good move. Yeah, stage four.
First day and Italy. Yeah. And stage two. He also, he also, he was the guy who bridged up to the three riders in front. Yes. Yeah. The very end of the stage. He's such a long time ago already.
“I know. I don't even remember that. Well, Bulgaria. I barely remember you.”
Anything else, Johan? I should be like, yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. A little bit short today. I have to go to a wedding. So we're going to have to leave it here and then let's see if the more tomorrow's going to be challenging also because it's going to be a wild ride. It's, you know, you're traveling to Europe and I'm a wedding. So I may be coming on screen with a bulltion. The horror. Yeah. You'll be finding a quiet corner at the wedding to come on to the show.
We've got a tune in to see this people. But we'll be back. It's actually they've synced this. Maybe RCS did this because they knew we had a travel day slash wedding day tomorrow. So it this is a perfect stage for us to be busy during because then we got to get serious on stage 19.
