From the get-go, out of the neutral zone.

Why are all these climbers so big?

It's a monster climb to have.

Sorry?

it's not the longest stage but the starter that first climb is brutal to the point that break formation will be insane like good luck controlling this and we also spoke about break formation yesterday on the podcast add to that the fact that the capital just spent their entire team all day trying to get success back so they're going to be a little bit tired after today and red bull had another crash with with philip daniel philippe martin is in the neutral zone today

i i don't know what to expect in terms of breakaway um formation tomorrow what group can form etc it could be a crazy stage or do you think there's a world in which uae will notice what happened today and say maybe we are the honorary controllers right now because technically we are the quote-unquote favorites to win gc because luke tuckwell in gc big fan 100 spoke to him this morning but

I don't think Visma, despite Jorgensen being the highest placed GC rider, it's not on them to control this race.

Del Toro is virtually the favorite.

Trek should send Skelmoza in the breakaway is my pick.

I'm not sure they'll do it though.

I'm not sure.

Tollett will be there for Jorgensen.

Duck will be solo.

Bizio will be there.

Bizio should be there.

By the way, I forgot to mention earlier, like, you did your ultramarathon today.

Yes.

You're Australian.

If a Belgian man did that, it would be on the front of the newspaper, Patrick.

To be honest, if he feels it, I don't deem it completely impossible.
