1.Hello you beautiful cycling fans and welcome back to the A1 Tour de…

Hello you beautiful cycling fans and welcome back to the A1 Tour de France show. So what can I say? The drama, drama, drama. Today's show we're going to talk all about the new Tour de France Champion, Elect Eigam Bernal. We're going to talk about the tactics of some of the top teams which are questionable. The demise of everybody's favourite on this Tour de France, if you don't love Alifelipe you just don't have it hurt. we're gonna look at overall competitions, birthday and the climbers, Sagan and the green, preview, some of the favorites heading into tomorrow's sprinter's world championships on the Shaun's Salise. So stay with us for the next 20 minutes or so, and we're gonna dish up some controversial topics. We're gonna give some of my crazy twisted opinions on stuff, we're gonna stimulate a little bit of the bait, plus we'll also give out our new Roadman of the day award. so stay tuned till the end and find out who has won the new contest. So I'm actually not in Dublin at the moment. I'm down in Kin's sale today. Lovely sales. Would you call it southwest? Don't know how my geography is very bad of Ireland. Boy to see so I'm enjoying some bit of chill time, some lovely weather. Didn't actually get to ride the bike today. I'm only down here for the day so I didn't have a a boy quit me and the dog actually just getting a bit of a run by the sea so I'm watching some of the king of the hills right along this morning so I'll go and made it back to watch I had to make the watch on the laptop not ideal but look nevertheless got away with it and look the drama started even before the off the drama started last night when it was announced as stage was going to be shortened stage 20 shortened I don't think it came as much as a surprise to anyone after yesterday's crazy shit show. Like we've been, actually we've been robbed. I sort of, we're going to get onto this a little bit later. Like this altitude experiment from Perdo where we've been robbed of a couple of the best days of racing in the Tour de France. Like the three big alpine stages were built as where it was going to be the force when disappointed a little bit. The second one was a shit show and the tour de and basically cancelled and we've got a hill climb instead so disappointed and but I still don't think it's taken to shine off what's been an absolutely phenomenal phenomenal Tour de France. A canton for so is that phenomenal enough right where are we gonna get started on this one. I suppose let's start but congratulating Eigen Bernal Tour de France champion elect for 2019 a lot of credits got to go to the team inio's background in as well of Portal and Dave Brailsford. They've had seven out of the last eight winners at the Tour de France and four different winners which is pretty incredible. Bradley Wiggins, Chris from Garand Thomas and now Eigen Bernal. So, held on folded today. As I said we had the shorter climb up to the Horace category, Valve Torrens, which was a stingy little climb. It went up in sort of seven sections where a pitch like 11% and flattened out back to four, pitched again and this happened seven times like a a little bit of a stir stepping up. So plenty of places to attack. The stage was actually a bit of a damp squid. It was a little bit boring. Skawy done a great job. Dylan Van Barle, stand out rider for them. Wal-Pels again, Rod very well. Some of the other riders like Moskon, Kekoski, like for an ex-world champion. Very, very poor. Like he was dropped on the climb long before Viviani was dropped. He was riding in support of Alifahleap. You know, It's a twin thing there because it's on the one hand, it's a criticism of Kiekowski and then on the other it's an absolute ringing endorsement of the mentality of Elie Veviani for the believe rumors he's out the door and on the way to Cough in his next season but he's a sprinter so no one expects him to be there but he's there and he's looking after his teammate and his friend deep into a mountain stage and not that deep in it was a short stage. I had that for a dramatic effect on the back for it. wasn't that deep in but he was there when a lot of climbers weren't he was going out the back at roughly the same time as Fabio Arru and Dan Martin didn't hold on much longer than him so you know it's a performance way of what we'd expect from him.

2.Race kind of unfolded with Lotto set in a tempo

The race kind of unfolded with Lotto set in a tempo. Lotto seemed to be the strongest team this year. We had George Bennett bouncing back after smashing himself off the deck today and he'd done a great ride on the front. We thought he was gone, then he was back and then he was gone and yeah he tore people apart and he was a gradual wearin' down from Venice and then when Venice pulled off Lawrence the Blues started down He started down the real damage on the front and that's when we seen heartbreak happen That's when we're saying Julian Ella Philippe lose the whale and yeah my heart broke a little bit when that happened I have to say very difficult to watch Alif Leep is become an absolute favorite of all hours over the last three weeks I imagine he's now one of your favorite rotors if he isn't who is and what someone got to do if Alif Leep is one of your favorite rotors after that so Alif Leep started cracking and Yeah, then he cracked pretty spectacularly he go on to lose I think like over three minutes on the climb and he had mass that waited for a mass took a bit of criticism for me as much as anyone else earlier in the week and yeah mass waited for him and then you know all of the leaps on the radio telling mass he needs to slow down. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't pretty. All of the leap of anyone seeing the tweet floating around, we retweeted yesterday of all of the leap taking his yellow jersey off and giving it to the kid in the crowd. The man's just a class act and he said today after the stage. I gave everything I had. I couldn't have done any better. I was expecting to blow up at any moment and there it was. Voila. If I had kept hold of a second place or if I was 50, it's all the same to me. That's the sort of my temperament that an all are not inserted going. I still managed to pretty well. I'm really proud of my team. Eric Moss did for me. Without my teammates, I would have explored well before and I finished 15 minutes down there. I dug in, I didn't want to have any regrets and I don't have any. I think I can be proud of my Tour this year. You definitely can't be proud of your Tour this year, Paul Chappelle. So he definitely animated the tour for me. And yeah, maybe tomorrow we'll do a little bit of obviously again the Tour de France review of tomorrow's sprinter's world championships and Paris. And then the day after I might wrap up the tour podcast and get back to our sort of regular weekly or boy weekly podcast and on training topics again. Obviously we'd be covering the big races when they pop up. what would be given you guys some sort of tips and tricks and cutting edge science on new stuff like how to use key towns like Lotto have been using key towns brilliantly during the tour you know what teams are using call immersion what's their protocols for call immersion red light therapies and everything that's from what a conjure of that one to a lot of teams are using this tour low to kill shit coming out of this tour from behind the scenes in sports physiologist and I'm looking forward to starting out unveil all that stuff and bring you guys sort of the next the future of coaching it's the next generation of coaching and we're going to be bringing you guys that over the next few months so I'm excited to have you guys join me on the journey for that. Yeah we'll do the big wrap up on Monday we'll give I'll make up some funny awards and we'll talk about performances in a week and that sort of shit so it'll be a good So what do we ask? Movie star. Actually, before I move on to movie star, I'm what the fuck they were at today. We need to talk about Vincenzo Nibali. Vincenzo, Vincenzo, Vincenzo. Vincenzo hasn't won a stage since 2014 in the Tour de France when he won the Tour that year. And he absolutely animated today is that I was praying that Woods, rusty, hold on to him. He used to race against Woods when he was racing for a granola. when I was racing for a Stelis and Jeff Fu and stuff out in Canada and he was always a class climber. He just come over from running at that time. Classy guy obviously pulled him in the world last year.

3.Super climber and he held Nibali for a little bit but Nibali was too…

Super climber and he held Nibali for a little bit but Nibali was too strong and the shark I'm missing saying that he was just on a today. He was absolutely on it and he held that gap at like 60 seconds when they were saying in commentary and everybody was logically thinking you know It's gonna start getting reeled in but Nibali's so experienced. He saved a little bit. I guarantee he was using that parameter and no Okay, he was getting in the radio the guys are attacking and he ups the effort when the guys are attacking Then he settled back down into it because that time gap stayed so consistent Nibali paced that climb absolutely brilliant, but he didn't just pace the climb he paced the climb and paced this tactically like taking into account what was happening behind because you know like once you get a carrot at 15 20 seconds everyone wants to pop across to it so there's no use in eebly pacing it consistently the gap coming in from a minute to 20 seconds and then neeebly the group behind slowing down and eebly speeding up because once the carrots there people are gonna hop across to it so neeebly was opening his effort as they were open their effort and it was brilliant to see we see it sometimes the break was They calculate their effort to start picking up a little bit in the last 20k. We rarely see it on mountain stages But the shark delivered and it was an amazing shark attack. It was an amazing It was made just a stage victory and it really You know it animated was a pretty shit stage Well, I got a superwater So what were movie star-up to today? That's a question for you guys because I have no fucking idea. Movie Star finished. I don't have the stage results in front of me but movie star finished second on the stage. They finished short on the stage and I think they did another one on the top 10 as well. They had four Reuters in that select group at one point and no one wrote. What is going on there? Like Lawrence the Blue is clearly run there to stay in. They're not bringing in the gap to Niebli. Sacriflex wanted to go. Sacriflex 2 were the guys. Vavirte is going to win out of that group. What was going on? Where they just... I've no idea. I can't make any sense of it. Very disappointed tour from movie star and it's no wonder with tactics like that. It was somewhat of worst tactics of saying I had a pro bike race in a long time and it was someone as experienced as a hand-drop Vavirte who was second on today's stage. It was a real old guard today, like Niebli won Vavirte too which is cool to see. I like the count myself among the old-timers these days. These kids coming up under Earl Sucks. Garand Thomas, I suppose it's an honourable mention that Garand Thomas today, Garand's the champion. I've seen yesterday a lot of speculation around Twitter. Would Garand, Roy from self, would Garand attack Egan Bernal, Garand's a soldier, Garand's time and again proved that he is a lieutenant and and one of the best lieutenants in the world. He rode for Bradley Wiggins and Shepherd and Mucked the Climes, the same for Chris Froome for Richie Porte. And then he got his chance last year, and now this year back again, defaulted into that support role as soon as he had to. He's an absolute star and a great guy. When you hear him interview, he's just a humble down-to-earth guy who, you know, was shot to star the master from winning the Tour de France. And very credible defense of his Tour de France. You got to remember that G wasn't a Grand Tour roid or no Grand Tour performances of note until last year when he won the Tour de France and then he was after coming second in the Tour de France again. And can we see G doing it again? It's hard to know. It's hard to know. Like we've got Fréum to come back. We've got Carapas. So actually, when he Grand Tour winners, we've got a new Fréum, Thomas Carapas, who of course come across from movies thereafter, Windjour d'Italia and Bernal, before Corinth's grand tour stage winners in the Inios lineup. Like that's absolutely phenomenal. Like a lot of credit has to go to Bres for because a criticism a lot of the time is that he boils in this talent like Carapas, but Bernal's homegrown, like in as much as anyone's homegrown in Soiklin, he was a real project.

4.He went off and he identified them and as he said in his post race…

He went off and he identified them and as he said in his post race interview like anyone called a godma wasn't a money thing it was just they went and they done the research and they were willing to put the work in as a project and it's paid dividends today now they've got a big selection headache like who did they send to the tour lot next year like for him the divest rider of the generation most successful anyway you got to be sending from from and Thomas as a combo looks good to me Carapas and Bernal do you want to put two Colombians together I'm not Jordan is a stereotype that maybe they're a bit unorganized and you want the cool head of G or Chris there. I'm hard to know. Have we seen the last Grand Tour win for Grand Thomas or does he need to move to him? I don't think he will move to him. I think he's just too loyal but he's in an absolutely stacked roster now. So yeah, hard to see him, hard to see Braylesford or Portail really prioritised Hoisin Thomas in that roster. G said after the stage he said, I just said to Eggman to go and enjoy it and don't worry about crying all the way on Mount Mancroi, he's got an amazing career ahead of him and it's an honour to be a part of this. Like Thomas is such a champion. He was actually disappointed that you could see after that they didn't go for the stage win but then he was worried that Kreuzich was gonna jump from if he went for the stage win. He said there's so many distractions to deal with you get knocks on the door you get a few knocks you get crashes but I felt like I managed to get myself in good shape for this year's Tour de France. It didn't quite happen for me but the main thing is that we won out of team it's but it's been noise and day between this year and last year. This year I felt like anything that could go wrong did. Even in the run up to the tour it wasn't plain sailing. There's always things happening it was tough but I had to stay positive and keep fighting. That's what I had. I would have loved to have won but the fact that the E-Gand did makes it all okay in the end. When he asked if he could go in the tour again he said I think so. A lot of people probably don't think so but whatever that sports me on. One of my mates texted me earlier and said good job your second in the tour. If someone had said that a few years ago not many people would have believed it. But now it's disappointing to come second and not to go back. It's disappointed to come second and not go back to back wins but I've got that belief. So there you go like Thomas defined. I love the same comeback and get it in order to win but I am conflicted about the dominance of any else in the last few years and That's why Alifley was such a breath for us at the season. Sorry to season, and more specifically, Distour. But he's had a great season as well with the classics wins. Are we entering a new... this is something I've just been pondering. Are we entering sort of a new era with Bernal? He's a 22-year-old. A 22-year-old hasn't won the Tour de France since 1997. That was obviously big yan or the patented inventor of the greatest recovery drink in the world. You get one jar of motella, remove foil, place a jar of motella in microwave, liquidize jar of motella and consume jar of motella. Definitely getting your glycogen recharge after a session. Definitely add a big calorie dogs and it may explain why Big Jan was not about 150k love some winters. I don't know what way he was at but they didn't call him Big Jan for nothing. Jan obviously went to a tough time personally, he seems to be back on the straight and narrow now which is great to say. One of the sports great characters but he won the tour in 1997 as a 22 year old in Brownells after doing the same. Like, Brownells is the tour of Columbia and to warn the Yellow Jersey. Do you want to do they escape me? Or can I remember them? Yeah, no they escape. Someone let me know in the comments who do or two are. Victor Hugo de la Pena maybe. And Gaviria possibly? Yeah, maybe. Possibly maybe. Definitely maybe. So, like, at 22 years old, I think it's too early to say we've completely ushered in a new era because he can't TT.

5.If this was Big Make back in the day and you're going to climb Anik…

You know, if this was Big Make back in the day and you're going to climb Anik and TT, it's a new era of film, he can climb Anik and TT, we've obviously seen that dominance. It's too early for me to say that about Bernal because he can't TT. This year was a bit of an experiment from the organizer. Prewed on sort of an altitude experiment, you can call it, with the tree alt point stages hitting altitudes that we don't normally hit. I think it's back for it on the organizers. We've been robbed of a lot of drama. Maybe it was skewed to try and have Pino pose in a real threat, which it may well have. But yeah, we've been robbed of a lot of drama in the Alps. I still think it's the greatest Tour de France in living memory for me. Like, I don't remember the Fignon Lamont Tour de France was that 89. I'm not sure what it was before I started watching so I couldn't. But this has been out now with the best drama I've seen out Tour de France. So a lot of credit's got to be given to the organizers, the ASO for the stages. They picked early. A lot of credit's got to go to the Reuters, but a typical Tour de France has a lot more time draw kilometers to be covered and Bernal looks weak in the time draw so I think it's too early to say we've ushered in a new era for Columbian so I can learn a new dominance of world so I can still think team in Eos are going to be very hard to beat whether Bernal is the main man for that or whether he's a bit prior player I think time will tell. I've seen more people talking about this stage been shortened yesterday and how they're disappointed for a Bernal that they think this is somehow like a you know a footnote on his legacy that it'll be remembered. He'll be remembered as the winner of the Tour de France that was shortened like a golden degree less. I think you know there's a couple of soisily on Anorax out there on Twitter who might remember that but boy in large the name A. Gan Bernal is going on to the Tour de France trophy and nobody's gonna remember that stage was shortened. They're just not like there was stages shorting the past I'm sure I remember I listened to the move podcast which is very good with Armstrong and Hinckapi and George was talking about his force toward the France and they had a stage shortened and they dropped them down 50k down the road or something and restarted and I'm sure nobody whoever the winner was that year it certainly has interned because I'd never heard of that happen until George told me that story has told me that story it's like George was sitting down and he was probably serenade me in telling me this story. So I think it's, I'm not sure how philosophical Bernal is, but he's got to just take it for what it is. Was he destined to win the Tour de France and he's just fulfilled his destiny and whether the stage was long, whether the stage was short, the outcome wasn't going to change or if the stage had been longer, do we see Thomas coming back up and getting another tour of France. It's the retain this title I don't know. I think Bernal's just got to say, look it is what it is out of my control, fortune favours the brave, and I don't expect he's gonna spare too much thought on what Anorax and Twitter Charles are saying, well at least I hope not. So for me it definitely hasn't tarnished or put any sort of footnotes on Brinnell as long as he crosses the line now tomorrow in Paris with all the skin intact and I don't know have we ever seen the jersey changing hands on the last day? There's a question I have no idea they don't race it obviously for anyone who's not a avatar of France watcher the tomorrow stage generally isn't race it's a ceremonial stage we're going to champagne, saiyan, boughton, on green wigs, and then whales, photo shoots, people calling their girlfriends during the stage. This sort of stuff, it's generally just pure comedy for a couple of hours and then we get onto the Sean Salise and they wind it up and the sprinter's world championships happen. So it's a very important day for the sprinters, but it doesn't start getting important. It doesn't start getting difficult until we hit the Champs-Elysé. The Champs-Elysé by the way is not easy.

6.If you've been to the Champs-Elysé, I was on the Champs-Elysé last…

If you've been to the Champs-Elysé, I was on the Champs-Elysé last year. I went over on holidays. Actually, what a holiday I was. I went over last year. No rail plan. Packed the car. We stuck the bikes in the car. We stuck a tent in the car. We went to Rubé, Camp Théir. Don Corke went across to Rubé. Watched the Rubé stage. Drove across the up to Wes. Watch the up to Wes. Camping around about at the bottom. France won the World Cup so I headed to Paris and I can tell you, riding the city bikes up the Champs-Laze, it's not flat, it's a hill, it's 2% it's not a hill as in the Alaphalee's going to attack tomorrow but it's 2% or whatever. It wasn't easy riding up it and it definitely isn't easy full gas riding up it after three weeks, the surface is bad, it's a crazy, crazy sprint and the sprint to finish is different tomorrow as far I know I'm sprinting on cobble so I've eaten Saigon talking about how it's gonna pose a challenge and if it's posing a challenge for Saigon To sprint on them you can be sure it's posing a challenge for for everyone else Yeah, like I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I'm looking forward to I'm definitely not looking forward to the tour being over but I'm looking forward to you know just Hopefully no drama safely capping off and putting a stamp on this is the best tour of ransing living memory Also, I wonder if this is the first Tour de France ever. I'm going to go and eliminate it. It is the first Tour de France ever where all three of the podium, Bernardo Thomas and Christwig, haven't won a stage. No one has won a stage. So is this kind of instruct of us to help Grand Tour riders, what it takes to win a Grand Tour now? You nearly need to be born. You need to be a follower. the likes of Aleph leaf we spoke about, you know, with Aleph leaf's his aggression in the champagne region and his two opopino, which you know, it just, it warned her it's an animated the race that I woke in the French public from their slumber's, their cyclin slumber, but at what cost? At what cost in energy? Aleph leaf lead in Viviania when he was in the Moyer John. Amazing to see iconic pictures that we won't forget as an Irishman listening, watching the tour, I won't forget them for years. So I'd imagine a French person that's just so inspiring for everyone French that I can find to watch the Maier-John on the frontier national race leading El Viviani. But I walk off to that one because when we see Thomas Bernal, Christwick, Bernal Thomas Christwick in that order none of them win this stage, it tells us a different story, it tells us about conserving energy, it tells us about, as Breslert actually summed it up well afterwards and he said this is Tour de France where strategy has beat chaos where individuals have been beaten by teamwork. Like it's a little bit born I have to say it really is but it works and we've been criticizing INYOS for the full three weeks about not been strong. We've been criticizing them saying, you know, they're not a strong unit. But that not strong unit has rolled a one two in the Tour de France. If we're rewind back to Brussels three weeks ago and say, any else got a one two in the Tour de France, we would have all rolled their eyes and said, Oh, for a fork sake, what a boring tour. It's been anything but that and Grand Thomas is quote from a few days ago, sticks in my head and he says, there's many ways to win the Tour de France. I think any of you showed up, but what they did show Among that there's many different ways to win it, but there's still some principles to help show one their principles was teamwork Organization not panicking at times it there were more organized and were used to them saying, you know, Bernal I had a Thomas on the on the slopes of Pyrenees and a little bit of disorder which were not used to saying But more organized and more about them than any other team I would say I just don't see a change and I see any else. They're so strong. I don't see a change over the next few years. They're weak climbing roster at the moment. I think they need to bolster that a little bit, especially if they're going with a split. Like sending maybe the two Columbians to one race and the two Brits to another race.

7.Probably Walt Pells was on and off

Probably Walt Pells was on and off. Kiekowski wasn't what he usually is. Whether they've got their training wrong or what we've seen these riders ripping it up ripping it up on the front of the race in the past. Before I wrap up, I suppose we'll do our take care of a bit of business. As Erm Strong would say on the move of podcast, he got some amount of show sponsors, the bastard. Obviously we're just getting kicked off and we don't have any show sponsors. So at the moment we're doing the shameless plug of the show sponsor is A1 Coaching. We're bringing you these podcasts and we're getting into the time of year now, where a lot of guys are starting to think about next season and it's end of July and guys kind of have one foot out the race and door and are kind of taking next year up out in a big winter. And no, I would urge you not to do that. I've been that guy before and what I can say to you is it weakens your chances of a good performance next year. If you come to us now, if you pop us an email or a comment, we're going to hook you up with a training plan. We're going to hook you up with a 20% discount if you just say A1 show when you're booking and what we're going to do is we're going to work with you right through to the end of the season. You're going to be in your alternative as trying to shit weather in October with months till the season. With finishing the season out strong we take what we can out of the season. Maybe you don't win a race, maybe you don't get promoted but we lay a serious foundation for next season and we make use of the good weather. And the foundation this season and then a structured break off rather than just going away and taking three four weeks and going to the beer and playing five sides of the lads Structure time off or using you know someone advanced analytics behind the scenes like training stress score chronic training load To tell you exactly how much training time to take off Is essential, you know, everybody under my has a coach days days You know back in the day if you had a coach you really had an edge if you don't have a coach now you're at a disadvantage. The only way to give yourself that advantage is to get with the coaching companies like ourselves who really understand the sports science and have just a deep understanding of human physiology and you just need to check the track records where getting so many others promotion and win races every season. We take the does door step challenge against any coaching company in the world. We're seeing 20% brilliance and trash hold over eight weeks for a client. So yeah, pop his message on that and A1 show is the code and you're going to get 20% off your your force month. So there's the internet shameless plug. Actually, you know what, I'm not too bothered if we don't get a show sponsor for a whole because I'm quite enjoying shilling the A1 coach and stuff because it's a company and it's a product that I truly believe in and that's why it's a pleasure to be involved with it and I've spun around many different business ventures and I've always come back to A1 and not come back to it, it's never gone but I've always kept A1 there because it's something that it just, there's something beautiful about touching someone's life and being a small part of their narrative is over the back of the corner of the friend now. He started out as a client, now he's a friend that was over the wedding a few months ago and he was just in the speech talking about how he achieved a lifetime goal of competing the Iron Man triathlon and just for me to be a small part of his narrative is really it's really touching. Right back to our schedule broadcast of Tour de France. So tomorrow we are looking at going into the final stage with Eigen Bernal with a 1-11 second lead over Garand Thomas to the defending champion. 131 from Bernal back to Stephen Kreuzwig. Bookman, barely talked about Bookman. What a roid from the Borranzegrove man, 59k Lijmer. He's at 156 and we have the housewise favourite, Julian Alaphilippe at 3.45. I gave you a bit of 4 yesterday, false nails, Roman Bardet is still in the climbers classification, I don't know what I was thinking yesterday, a bit of a brain for it.

8.Think that the shortened stage, the chaos, I fucked everyone up a bit…

I think that the shortened stage, the chaos, I fucked everyone up a bit and I was definitely guilty that I don't know how points were attributed yesterday and for some reason in my head I had the 8s going into the jersey and I think Bardet is blessed, He's absolutely blessed. He fell pieces on two earlier in the race. So to be in the climbers, Jersey, a Frenchman and a podium, it's brilliant, but he's counter-lucky stars. He's blessed. And Saigon's in green. We've barely mentioned Saigon in green. I think we've barely mentioned Saigon in green, because he's such an institution. He's seven times in the green jersey now to Tour de France. I actually think you're going to have to change the rules to take Saigon out of the I don't know when that's gonna end. Like genuinely they may change the rules to try and sharpen that contest up a bit. Saigon was really, he talked about yesterday, he said the shortened stage was really a surprise. And I thank God he gave us Christmas in July yesterday and today. On the green jersey he said it's very special. There is still tomorrow, so bearing injury everything should be fine. I'm very happy. The man's a legend. The man is one of the most important things that I've ever seen in the game. I've been a lot of people in the game. I'm very happy. The man's a legend. The man is one of the most charismatic athletes in the world. We're blessed to have him among our ranks in the Peloton. Tomorrow, why pick? The romantic says I'd love to see Sagand down here. Caleb has probably been the fastest sprinter, Dylan Grunewegen. He's missing Van Art for the lead out. If Groig bullet give no chance, he's even still there. I think he's still there, but I give him no chance. Viviani will be brilliant to see Alif Leeple eating Viviani out. I really like some very non-committal here if I couldn't sit on the fence more if I tried. I'm gonna go and say Sagana. I'd love to say it. I think the sprint on the cobbles, it's gonna suit him. And yeah, my heart says Saigon, but my head says Caleb. They're, I hope I've daffers hit on the fence. Herd versus head debate. Okay, that's it. I've rambled enough. I really enjoy it, bringing you guys this podcast. It's been one of the most enjoyable things I've done since start A1. It's given me just, it's given me a reason to really sit down and analyse the tour every day, tour every day rather than having it on his background noise. And it's something I'm going to talk about sort of a common team and mindfulness and focus and all too often. Now I think a lot of us are doing wanting passively, like having the Tour de France on and the TV, but we're flicking on our phone. And we're not really engaged or paying attention to to us. So for me to be able to sit there with a no part and take notes of what I found interesting in the Tour de France. And then later, we've generally got our podcast out quite early, relative to the move over the Bradley Wiggins or the other big cycling podcasts. And then to hear the notes that I've put down, to hear them as the main talk and points that the other guys have challenged are agreed with. It's been really cool to know I've correctly identified all those points. And there's a study tool and there's a mastery tool. And that's a game of opinions. And that's why we love it. And mine is just one opinion among a save opinion. So I hope you guys jump in and any of the talking points in the comments and you engage in it. Let it spark debates between you and your friends. And that's what it's all about. A catalyst for conversation and stimulating that conversation. So has this been the best tour of France ever? I'll leave you on this. I think it has. Eigen Bernal. He's ushered in and new dawn for Colombian cycling. And he's just won the Yellow Jersey. But Alif Leep for the last three weeks, he's won our hearts. Viva Latour, chat to you guys tomorrow for the final stage in Paris.
