Hello you beautiful cycling fans, we've made it

Hello you beautiful cycling fans, we've made it. Where there, it's the end of the Vuelta a España. Well if you're not a cycling fan you might say, it's not the end. But it is, tomorrow is a ceremonial parade, intimate trade and we'll have a little sprinter showdown. But today we crown the new champion of the Vuelta a España, Yumbovismas Primas Roglich. for the second last time, put your hands together and thank our show sponsor, MissingPeace.org. Even with us all through the Vuelta, their support has been amazing and it's made this Vuelta podcast possible. I've been harping on about their amazing products. They have the handcraftsmanship, but I just want to take this opportunity to thank them very much for their support because it allows me to do what I do and bring you guys the Vuelta podcast. So please go and support them as they have provided this podcast to you listeners. So go give them a shout out, give them a thank you, even drop them a tweet and sign you enjoy their coverage of the Vuelta, anything like that. All makes the difference just to let them know they got value from money from the sponsorship. Okay, let's dive in. We had a coming of age of Tajé Pogakar. He absolutely lit up to their stage. In all honesty it was a little disappointed if it hadn't been for him because the main GC protagonists they kind of just threatened to ignite but it was just a little puff of smoke in the end. There was a climb, the final Cat 1 of this year's Vuelta was a 45k to go. We had Guerrero from Katu-Shit and Tio Gaganhart from Inyels who's finished Super strong in this year's Vuelta. Estana put the Porsche on about 8k from the top of the climb. Lopez, as he often has during this series of Vuelta, he called for a forward power and he got it. Yacob Vueltaing looked really strong. Soon as Vueltaing pulled over, boom! Lopez went and we see immediately that natural selection. We see who the five strongest are. And it's been the same for the entire Vuelta. It's Roglich, it's Quintana, it's Valverde, it's Pogakar, and it's really good. Rafa and Micah and it splits along those lines and sorry not Micah, I love us. Micah was in group two and every time the attack starts it's still the same five again. And they're clearly the five strongest but the attack and it's common and it's gone and then we have Pogakar. He strikes out with 38 kilometers remaining on the stage. He catches them a little off guard Like Mike has a teammate there and he looks around, is he gonna chase? I'm not sure. He kind of waits, doesn't want to burn energy, waits for someone else to respond, maybe Lopez. Turns out Lopez hadn't got very good legs and they let him go. And he got 15 seconds blink of an eye, 30 seconds just as fast. T.O. Gaggenhart and Guerrero in the break said they waited up for a pogacart to come across. Probably a bit of a mistake because he just breezed straight past him. He pulled out time so fast it was insane and he got out to one minute forty seconds from that select group behind and he just held it and he went down the firesoid at the XO across Royal Royal Royal which is actually interesting because we had Vanderpaul winning the tour of Britain today as well in Poggakar doing this amazing ride so many people are coming from cyclocross. We are hitting cyclocross season heavy we're going to have our cyclocross product out next week probably going to announce it on our first non-velta podcast. I'm actually really looking forward to getting back to those, to getting deep into all this crazy biohacks. And cause I've been using a rebounder, like a trampoline for ages. I want to get deep and talk to you guys, oh, I want him using that and what benefits I'm getting. I want to get into the intermittent fast and sleep. I've been walking around with CBD oil on it, talking about the effect that's having my deep sleep versus time to sleep and all this mad stuff.

Looking in summary, looking forward to it really looking forward to…

So yeah, looking in summary, looking forward to it really looking forward to getting back. So I will hopefully announce our cycle cross product then but until then I have a cycle cross masterclass which I mentioned yesterday and it's in the show notes again so if the show notes are down below wherever you listen to this click on the link and it's going to pop your email in and it's going to automatically send you out a copy of our masterclass with Paul O'Reilly where we talk about shouldering, dismounting, remounting, how to carry speed and how to corner in a cyclo cross race. Very different to the corner in a road race and very very different to cornering in a sporty for a lot of training. Well well worth watching. About 20, 24 minutes long I think, but some knowledge bombs there from Paul anyway, Segway as we're so used to. The final climb it did disappoint a little bit if I'm truly honest. The pogacare attack was brilliant but then we kind of wasted behind to see who was going to do what. Not and really happened. They were still looking at each other. All the way. Vavar they coined a half went once and then I think he felt that Bora or Chase and when it wasn't their place to chase and so he cut her off straight away. So we had the last 38k of a pursuit then with Pogakar gradually picking people off and picking off the awards. So forced to succumb to the Pogakar attack was Lopez and the White Jersey. That failed. Then we had Cantana was in trest and then that was came and went. He had needed one fifteen or one ten to jump ahead of Cantana onto the podium. Then that came and went. And then it started being Vavirdi in trouble. So Vavirdi turned it up on the last climb and Lopez was dropped. Cantana was dropped and we just had Moica, Roglic and Vavirdi with Vavirdi on a time trial against the clock to save his second place on GC. The very disappointing thing for me was we'd cut tough cut one to the scent and then a tough cut trade. No one ever gave Roglic a test. Roglic didn't care about Pogakar out there. Pogakar wasn't threatening him even at the end of the day. He's still 255 behind even though he's in toward play. So he was never to try to Roglic. But no one gave him that test. We'd cantana and we'd valver it. He's sitting in second and toward into the stage and he never gave him a test. That's disappointing stuff. So yeah, Pogakar crossed the line for the win. The youngest rider in the race, he took back the wide jersey, he took his podium place back, so he won the stage from Vavarre in second and Raffa and Mike getting toward. So that gives us a GC, a final GC, bearing accident illness or injury tomorrow of Primus Roglich as the 2019 Vuelta España winner. So congratulations to him, he's been a man who on a little emotion and that didn't change very much across the finish line today as he displayed very little emotion across in the finish line. He barely cracked a smile but you know each of their own. I quite like Rog Littrenn, I know a lot of people don't but I quite like with Valverde coming in second overall after our three weeks of racing at two minutes and 33 seconds. We pog a car at two minutes and fifty-five seconds on the final step on the podium and the the White Jersey, we have Narrow Cantana, drop into fourth place at 3.56 and we had Superman Lopez disappointing in fifth at 4.48. Considering the firepower that Astana threw at it, considering how they took the race by the scruff, considering how they imposed themselves on it, they were probably the strongest team in the race to come away without Lopez winning the stage. I know Fugel's like on one, but without Lopez winning the stage, you gotta say it's very disappointed.

Easy young guy did he live up to the pressure and the expectation I…

Easy young guy did he live up to the pressure and the expectation I don't think he did. I would be very disappointed if I was in a car off. Yeah I just I love his didn't deliver a lot of pressure on him as a young lad but he didn't deliver. It's never easy young him with that race favorite hike. But yeah I just I felt that that someone that didn't have the race favorite, they made them into the race favorite. He wasn't the strongest rider in the race and the way they rode him, they opposed themselves on it. They gave themselves very little options only for him to be the strongest rider in the race. They took it up the way where he used to see in any else in Sky taking her up on climbs to deliver film who's always the strongest man. They didn't have the strongest man but they still imposed themselves like they did have the strongest man which cut down a lot of their tactical options. They could have been doing stuff like, you know, putting more men in the break, hitting it strategically and crosswinds, just playing it a little bit cuter. Poca Card was raiding, you know, we might remember at somebody early stage, he was raiding and he was taken, he came without that hype, even though he wasn't working California, he hadn't got that hype about him. And he was raiding and he was taking 10 seconds here, 20 seconds there, and you know, maybe that would have been a better strategy for Lopez to come without that hype, but nevertheless, I enjoyed watching him and I hope we'll see a bit more of him. really what struck me, tomorrow is going to be real, the Vuelta recap, but you can't but stand up and take notice today of this new generation of cyclists. Like we've landed Paul winning in Tour de Britain today, with Eigen Bernal winning Tour de France, we had Carapas winning the Jiro, we've pog a car now on the podium at 20 years old in of Vuelta, we have Remko Evanpaul winning San Sebastian and European home trial championships. Like what the hell? It's an insane new breed of young Reuters and we're seeing a real change in the guard going out the moment. And actually another one that was James Knox. He had a really difficult day today. He crashed yesterday and I see him. He seems such a nice guy. He tweeted yesterday I apologize to anyone who says a moment of inattentiveness and he I apologize to anyone who came down to crash and he was deeply disappointed for it. And then today he got dropped on the force climb and that's why they're called a wolf pack. Quick step, the whole team waited for him and they paced him in. He had a 15 minute buffer to stay in the top 10 but he didn't stay inside the 15 minutes and he slipped it 11th place. But he was visibly moved on the finish line. He was slumped over his bike and he was in tears with Philip Gilbert consoling him. And after the race he suffered from the world go. the boys looked after me from the moment they got dropped on the first climb. I was honestly a bit emotional even watching him. He seems like a really nice kid and 11th is by no means a loss. He should all his head up, be proud and we're gonna see him much much better out of him in the years to come on. Tomorrow, what have we got tomorrow? We've got in all honesty nothing tomorrow. If if you're gonna watch tomorrow's stage, it's a slow day in the office if you're planning to sit down and watch tomorrow's stage, because there's not much going on. I'm not gonna watch tomorrow's stage. I'm gonna go out and ride my bike tomorrow morning. Yeah, there's been enough days sitting on a box watching the TV and taking notes of what's going on. Traders have worked out, it's been enjoyable at times, it's been testing at times, it's been exercising, discipline and self-control and the podcast is, you know, it's, I don't want to say a lonely experience, but it's a, it's a solo experience and you don't have that interaction.

Lot of times that's why I had been calling for you guys to let us…

And a lot of times that's why I had been calling for you guys to let us know how it's gone, because you don't have that feedback that you get, you know, from Facebook forum where you can see the comments and the likes coming in, and especially in a live format, you don't have the co-host to bounce off. So it is, it's a solo experience is a different one, but It's been an enjoyable one, definitely some ups and downs, some challenges trying to get the podcast out, you know, it brings the mind going in city center for dinners and bringing laptops with me, trying to tether off my phone to get international. Again, the other night, I had a birthday, I needed to get in, I just rushing to guess stuff uploaded and Tom Nails created. It can be a bit of scatter, but very enjoyable experience. I'm glad the next planet is not till the Shiro and I'll definitely review again. If it's something I do again or not, we'll see. We're really looking forward to getting back to the longer format now and maybe even starting to try on some show guests as I deem them appropriate as well. So tomorrow we're going to have 106k rolling into Madrid. We're going to have champagne. We're going to have fireworks. And then we're going to have a sprint and hopefully we're going to have Sami be taking it again. Actually Sam Bennett, I'll leave you on this one. Sam Bennett had a great tweet this morning. Then it said stage 20 of Vuelta, I finally have the Ross there. And you know, hasn't ridden the Ross. It's kind of an in-joked Ross. It was a professional race in Ireland. It was an eight day 2.2 race in Ireland, which I've ridden a bunch of times. I don't know how many times? Six, seven, eight, I don't know. But it's difficult race. And for the amateur guys, getting around the Ross, you typically get towards the end of the race. What's called the Ross there. It's just when fatigue takes over to the point that you just can't converse, you can't maintain all your contact with any mistake, and you just go into a zombie-like trance where you become fixated on just anything. Like a dot on the ground, you just become fixated on, and that's the sole focus, your attention as you kind of replay back the traumatic events from the day. like a PTSD soldier coming back from Iraq. So there you go, shop out the benefit, call out on Twitter. Guys, we'll be back tomorrow for one last episode, actually before I go, I almost forgot another show I was sponsored at, wouldn't have been great. ClickFunnels, go check them out. It's on clickfunnels.ie, they've hooked you up with a 14 day free trial. And the other stuff is Epic, email funnels, marketing funnels, building your website. It's a one-stop shop, so do check them out. I encourage you to get past the link on the friends If you know anyone that's using them and again just clicking the link even having to play around Taking the 30 day challenge that they have in there So in number 14 they trial they can track all those analytics. They know links are coming from us So it's it's great for because they're gonna be continuing sponsor. They've committed to even outside the Vuelta So it's brilliant to just get that support for them. Okay guys appreciate you listening tomorrow beautiful weather for her in Dublin so hopefully wherever you're listening you've got good weather tomorrow and boys and girls I will bid you a good night and I will chat to you for the final stage tomorrow in Madrid
