==================================================
Good morning everyone. Here we go folks back
to Vuelta a Burgos here guys. Race is underway guys. I’m going to get better at this every
morning. Every day I try to do that. It’s a little bit clunkier. Already see there’s eight
awesome people in the stream. Uh as I’m in my holding page there. Uh awesome guys. Thanks for
being here guys. 2025 47th edition of the Vuelta A burgos. Uh it’s a five day stage race, pro series
race, so you’re going to see pro racers here, world tour racers here, and even continental
level guys. Uh currently we are 36.5 km into the race. I’m going to have to get my uh Starlink
reset again. Uh it seems to shut down. Well, what I guess what I’m trying to saying is it’s a
perfect time for me to do this because it shuts down right before I go live every day. Uh let’s
talk about yesterday for a second. Stage three, uh tough stage. Uh lots of climbing yesterday.
Let’s have a quick look at this picture here. This is an image of Leo Bassau. I got this straight
from the Vulta Iberos website, so all credit goes to them. Um Leo Bassau was in a five rider break
up the final climb of the day. He was a little slightly uphill at the end. Uh slightly uphill.
Yeah, it was uphill. And uh accelerated away from Isaac Del Toro, Julio Chiconei, uh Pelazari, uh
who else was there? I can’t even remember right now. So, let’s go to the third stage. We’ll look
at the classifications here. Quick classifications for the third stage. So, Leo Basau won the stage
yesterday. I was hoping to get some more details in this third stage. Let’s get full stats, guys.
Full stats. rides for 20 uh 2024 D to Cathol team. Uh he only turned professional last year. I think
he’s 20 years old. This guy 58 kg uh 1.81 m tall. So he’s pretty tall dude. I’m going to guess
he’s probably about 510. Uh lean machine. 58 kg. You know what I got to say yesterday? Uh why
don’t we go back and look at that profile quickly for the finish there. You can see yesterday the
finish. Oh yeah, that climb right there. Yeah, that climb right there. That category one uh Porto
de Oruna. Quite a famous climb in this part of the world that if you go to any of the climbing apps,
you’re going to find it there. We got 11 people in now, guys. 11 people in. Stage four. We got one
more stage to go, guys. Uh this is a tough one. We’re talking about yesterday’s stage, though.
He attacked in the final kilometer with four absolute hitters yesterday. Uh just dropped them
all. The only rider that tried to go with him, oh that’s right, the Estana rider, Lorenzo
Fortunado, he did get out of the saddle, put, you know, five, six really hard pedal strokes
in. Then he realized no one else was going with him. He dropped them all. Uh Leo Bassau, they
all sat down, they all looked at each other, and uh guess what? He won the stage. So awesome
job to him. Today we’re going from uh Donos Santos to Regumel Delesera. There’s a bit of a uh
circuit at the beginning, guys. So, if you look at the profile right now that’s on screen, there’s
two spotes here. If you look between kilometers 20 and 30 and then look between kilometers uh 55
and say, oh, I don’t know, 68, you can see that hill profile repeats itself. Uh I have looked at
the map. There is a circuit. So, they’re going to head out, jump onto the circuit partway through
it, come around, and then uh do the whole circuit again. Situation on tap right now, guys. This is
going to be a day for the breakaway. I think we’re running out of stages. People want to score some
wins. Uh we’ve got seven riders in the break right now. Ruy Olivera, Ben Zhof, Javier Romo, Damiano
Caruso for team Bahrin victorious. Ruy Costa here, the Portuguese rider. Nicholas Sububowski, dude.
Q36.5 rider. Larry Warbos. Take a look at Larry here. Tudor. Uh, he’s been around quite a while
now. 35 years old. BMC Racing. Yeah, this guy’s been through Oh, he was even on Aqua Blue Sport.
If you guys remember them, Aqua Blue Sport, I think was the team that quite a few years ago
when they did, they were the first team to kind of run a one by setup in the uh, you know, at
professional level of racing. Didn’t go over that well at the time. Things have changed. Now you’re
starting to see more one by setups in the hills in the time trials. Uh, AG2R Lemon Dial, then it went
to AG2R Citron, then it went back to London Dial, and now he’s with two door pro cycling. So,
teammate of Julian Ala Phelps here. Obviously, Julian’s not at this race. Uh, then we have
a couple of groups of riders on course. 35 seconds behind. We got Jose Maria Garcia. Who does
this guy ride for? I think this might be a conci rider. Yeah, we got a concier rider here. Jose
Marcia Garcia. Jose Maria Garcia. Sorry, dude. Uh, climber GC rider. And further back from that,
there’s another group. Oh, dude. No introduction needed here. Julian Bernard, son of Jean Francois
Bernard, rides for Leel Trek. Just uh keeping an eye on things here, guys. Got 11 people in now,
guys. Let’s keep rolling on in. I just did put a little quick uh poll up there. Just a fun one.
So, the poll is uh can Leo Basau win the race overall? Spelled his name wrong, too. I noticed
that soon as I typed it, I couldn’t edit it. Uh it’s I AUX. Can he win the race overall? probably
not. Does his team right now think he can? What do you think the discussions were last night uh at
the uh dinner table? We’re going to take a look at the actual GC right now. So, here it is, guys.
Leo Bassau, how did he get into this lead? How did this race evolve? He got in there on day one, very
first stage, uh when we went up to Bergos Castillo where Isaac Del Toro crashed, hand came out, his
hand got under Uh, sorry. Julio Chicone’s wheel pulled Julio Chiconei down. Chicone down. Chicone
lost a ton of time. He lost like a minute and 20 seconds on that stage. Isaac Del Toro lost less
than 15 seconds. He got up real quick. Chicone was left on the side of the road. Uh, struggling
to figure things out. That’s why Chicone was on the attack yesterday. So, after stage and in that
stage one, Leo Bassau finished fourth overall. So, he’s been attentive. He’s been at the front.
uh watched the right moves. He’s, you know, very aggressive day one. So was his teammate. Uh
his teammate Dre Deont I think is his name. Is that right? Uh let me take a look at that guys. I
need to check that for you here. I might have just butchered that name. So Decathlon here. I I’m not
wrong. It’s Dre Deont. So Dre Deont uh was on the lead that day in the breakaway I think for most of
the day and then at the end it was Jordan Leos for Dathlon who got second. Leo Bassau got fourth. So
he’s just been positioned well for the first three stages. Set himself up well on day one. Didn’t
lose any time to the leaders and now look where he finds himself. Right now he finds himself with
a This is actual GC after stationary. He has a 22 second lead over Julio Pelazari, youngster from
Red Bull Bor Hans Grower. The other youngster, Isaac Del Toro from UAE XRG. Uh Lorenzo Fortunado
and uh Johannes Kool said, I saw this guy hitting it hard yesterday, too. Big shout out to this dude
here. Let’s take a look at him. 17 people in now, guys. Let’s get in here. Uh we will be doing a
bit of a puppy patrol today, guys. Uh some of you may know I have a very young pup here. We just
got him one week ago. He’s getting booked into the vets next week. Shout out to this dude here,
Andrew August Inos Grenaders. Dude, you killed it yesterday. Absolutely killed it. Went on the
attack. Got up with a nice little break up front. Did kind of fall out of the group, but man, like
what a great job yesterday. 19 years old. 19 years old. So basically, he went pro last year when he
graduated high school. What was I doing when I was graduating high school? I was working some minimum
wage job. Uh wondering how I was going to pay my bills. This dude, he’s riding in the world tour
last year. Inos Grenaders, obviously development team. Uh we could probably go back and take a look
at his 20 24 year. Let’s why don’t we do that? So last year at the uh this is Andrew August for
last year. You can see his results here. Tud to Lavanir W. He rode welltober last year and didn’t
finish it. So, first year they just threw him into it. Look at this. Wow. What a what a year. This is
last year. That was 2024. Burgos check. I want to just confirm, guys, that I’m not seeing the same
things over and over. Um, yeah, it’s different. So, he rode UAE tour last year, Tour of Norway.
That’s this year, man. They’ve got this dude racing a lot. They’re really trying to develop
this guy. uh finds himself ninth place uh stage three yesterday. So, awesome stuff here. Yeah,
I just love pointing out these new young riders, guys. This is where you find them. You’re going to
find them at these races, these two uh pro races, upandcomers. Uh there was someone in the chat
yesterday who said that they follow American Cycling huge and that they’d never even heard of
him before. So, here I got to close that down. Can Leo win that? Uh, sorry guys. I’m just kind of
fumbling around here a bit on my YouTube. Ah, here we go guys. I haven’t even been watching where
we are. Tula Nichols Mojo guys, checking in from Leon. Good morning, Tika. Good to see you again.
I’m going to bounce back here again. Get right to the race itself. Get into the live stats, guys.
Uh, it’s probably sweltering hot. I think when I jumped on this morning, before the feed even
started, it was 30° C on course for the riders. expected highs of 35 36 degrees. You know, you
might be looking at this thinking, wow, this looks like it could be a sprint finish. Uh it’s almost
1,800 m of climbing today. Actually, you can see it dropping right now. We will take a look at the
detail profile here. So, this is what we got going on, guys. Uh what you’re looking at right now,
there’s no points here. This is not a categorized climb. Here’s our situation. Essentially, we
have four groups on the road. our breakaway group of seven. Uh some young guys there uh for
the continental teams. Who is there? I thought I saw there was a cont. No, that’s Jose Garcia. So,
he’s riding solo trying to catch up with the front group. Uh then we got Julian Bernard. Experienced
Larry Warboss, super experienced. I think Nicholas Sugowski here, 27 years old, Canadian guy. He’s
from Quebec. Uh San Luc Lucid des Laurentides. So, he’s from Quebec area of Canada. 36.5. Ruy
Costa. This guy’s been around a long time, too. 38 years old this year. I wonder if he’s got
retirement in the future here. There’s quite a few hitters that are retiring. I just heard something
about Inos Grenaders. Uh Grant Thomas obviously retiring at the end of this year. I think
there’s three Grenaders retiring this year. So, they got to start bringing in young talent. Javier
Romo here, 26 years old for Moistar. Just going to browse through these riders here in the lead.
Ruy Olivera, I think he’s a UAE rider. He is a UAE rider. 28 years old from Portugal. So he’s close
to home here. Good. Uh Paul Mars here. So yeah, you can see the climb, guys. Uh so a lot of people
look at these and go, “Well, there’s only one categorized climb. There’s only two.” There’s lots
of climbing though. Uh they’ve got bumps coming up. Let’s take a look between kilometers 38 and
48 into the race. You can see here uh false flatty all through this 1 and 2% gradient downhill and
then a quick spike up this wall at 12% gradient. More climbing 7% average probably through there.
So pretty tough pretty tough stuff. What I’ll do here guys, I’m going to come back here for a
little bit. Get some information about stage 4 for you. This again straight from the burgers
website. You guys can check this out too. Here’s a better look at our profile. And you can see here
uh bottom of the profile screen, there’s a place called Quintania del Coco. Then over here again,
halfway through the stage, you’ll see Quintonia del TCO Coco again. Well, how does that happen?
And if you look at the profile right before the the feed station here, that’s the Museette bag
and the garbage. The hill that’s right before it, you can see it again right here. Uh it’s not
exactly the same because they’re coming onto the loop halfway through it or something like that. So
when I look at the map now you get a better idea. We’re going to be starting in this place of burp.
We start here. We come onto the loop. We probably hang a we hang a left. We loop around. We’re going
to hit that quintellia quintia deloo climb if you want to call it that. It’s right before we get to
Quintonia del Koko in this area here between uh looks like looks like Tahada and Quint Quintania
Deloo. There’s a climb through there. We’re going to loop around, hang a hard right, do the whole
thing again. Then we’re off to the races with our categorized climbs at the end of the day. But um
this is going to do some damage to the uh front end of the Pelon here. Let me fly up here, guys.
I just need to see. Okay, you are seeing the map. going to bounce back here again. Let’s just just
keep an eye here. I’m going to go through the chat. Morning Colin. Not daylight yet, but gaming
gaining cycling knowledge already. Awesome stuff, Robert. Uh I gain it every day, too, from
you guys. You guys say things to me. Okay, this is interesting. Julian Bernard right now
on the timeline, kind of the feed as I like to call it, has joined up with Joseé Maria Garcia.
So, we’ve got a World Tour Pro from Lidell Trek, 33 years old, joining up with the youngster here,
Jose Maria Garcia. Well, he’s not youngster, he’s 26, but he’s on a continental level team. So, he’s
been riding continental level now for four years. So, looks like this guy came to cycling a little
bit later in life. Wasn’t on the I’m going World Tour Pro at 19 like um Andrew August looks like
he is or already has done. So, really cool to see that. Uh average age of the riders in the break
today. Uh the break 32.3, Pelaton 27.2. What does that tell me? I just think the break will be a
combination of young guys that are trying to prove something and also wy veterans. They know how to
get into the brakes. They know how to escape. They know this is that type of day. Most of the GC
guys, our GC crew is quite young. when we look at the actual GC. Let’s look at Pelazari. Uh well,
we can put Leo Basau in there as well. He’s young, 20 years old. Uh Julio Palazari, 21 years old.
And these are not just names that are just sitting there. Isaac Del Toro, I think he’s 21. Uh
Fortunado, I believe he’s quite Oh, he’s Fortunado is 29. I didn’t know that. Okay, so Fortunado is
a little bit older. Uh what about Chicone? Okay, he’s quite a ways down the standings. He did move
up quite a bit, I think. Uh 30. So, I guess it’s a mix in the GC standings. But yeah, I think it’s
the WY veterans trying to get away. Coffee time, guys. Okay. Uh let’s just bounce up a little
bit here, guys, so I can see what’s going on. I need to close this poll here. I can’t see anything
now. I got this poll open. Okay. Uh nope. Let’s do that. Okay. So, Tula, check in from Leon. Robert’s
here. Yeah, dude. I learn something every day. Shaka call. Let’s go. We are in the pipe. 5×5.
Julie goes, “Julie? Who’s Julie?” Uh, Joey Jojo always says, “Uh, what does that even mean?” We
got good communications. Hear you loud and clear. Let’s go. It’s also a line straight out of Aliens.
You guys know that part. We are in the pipe. 5×5. So, yeah. Puppy patrol is on. He’s
downstairs. Uh, I think he’s gone back to sleep. Either that or he’s eating
TV remotes. Could be one of those things. Andrew August must be living in Europe somewhere.
Belgium and N seem to be the hot spots. Probably some roommates sharing a cycling pad. Yeah, dude.
Can you imagine? Can you imagine? I think when I graduated high school, I got a job at a company
called Geocable. Was Geocable? I think it was Geocable. So, it was a couple that my mom knew.
She babysat their kids. She’s like a daycare provider for them, right? And I guess she was
kind of their housekeeper. The guy was the guy had done pretty good. He was making seismic equip
repairing seismic equipment and making equipment. So here in Canada, uh, geohysical exploration,
some of you guys will know what this is. Set off soundways in the ground and it identifies things
underground. And I’m not talking like 30 40 meters down. I’m talking five to 500 meters to 3 4,000
meters down depending where you are in the basin. uh saying Ivon Kobo here has just been caught.
There’s still riders trying to bridge up, guys. So, we’ve got seven up front, two chasers,
Julian Bernard and Jose Maria Garcia and Ivon Kobo. It has just popped up that Kobo was caught.
Pelon’s 2 minutes 45 seconds back. So, yeah, I worked at Geocable. They’re like, “Okay, Colin,
you’re a young dude straight out of high school.” I mean, graduated school late June 1987, guys.
1987. Uh, a week the next week I was working at this company and uh, yeah, so we repaired uh,
cables and uh, geophones and he had a whole setup. He made all that stuff there too. Well, he
made the cables. Uh, so he had this huge extruder thing. Back then these cables would have 128
pairs of copper wires twisted. So each pair was each color was like a pair. So there’d
be like white, orange, white, blue, white, green. There was a a color code to it. Uh, and
it would keep descending down. He made all that stuff there. It was a really cool operation. I’d
love to go. I don’t even know if the dude’s That guy’s probably dead now. That’s actually kind
of horrifying to me. Okay, take a look at this. Number of PCS points per season up to August
8th for Roger Adria, Red Bull Boro Hansor, who was the leader, no longer in the lead. Uh,
looks like he’s been racing for five years here. 2025. So far, he’s got 212 PCS points, guys.
Not UCI points, but they’re similar. Similar, but not perfect. Uh, I’m going to get to the
chat here, guys. Oh, yeah. So, long story short, worked at Geocable. First job ever. I think I made
five $5.25 an hour. And Andrew August is riding in the world tour. Loser. Andrew August absolutely
killing it. Uh, oh, that’s it. Swoosh kid. Dude, I’m glad you caught that because I looked that
guy up a couple days ago. Yeah, this dude here. Is it the same guy? It’s the same guy. Dude, I
made up a long story about him. You may not have been around Swoosh Kid when I made up the story,
guys. I like to craft stories. It’s what I do. So, Swoosh Kid here saying this Ben Zhof in the break
room must have taken off racing for years. Yeah, you know, I look at his Paul Mars here. I look at
the teams he’s been on. So he was actively racing in 2012 for Bergammont racing team. He’s a German.
Okay. And then for 8 years he vanishes. How would how old would he have been in 2012? That was Wow.
That’s a while ago, isn’t it? Okay. That’s easy to figure out. That’s 13 years ago. Yeah. He would
have been 18 years old. So he was racing in high school. Maybe he spent one year racing out of high
school. Then his dad got mad at him and told him, “You got to get a real job. You got to get a real
job, dude.” So he’s like, “Okay, Dad, what do you want me to become?” Dude, I need you to become
a dentist or a doctor. Okay, that’s what I need you to do. He vanishes for eight years, goes and
gets his double degree, whatever it may be, and whatever he’s doing. And uh at the same time, he’s
been actively training in the background, school, this, his dad’s like, “Forget about that cycling
stuff.” Next thing you know, he goes straight from club level in 2020 into world tour borrow
hands grow. So, I think that’s really cool to see that. And guys, I mean, like all these club level
races are tracked, too, on Pro Cycling Stats. So, you know, it’s not like he just vanished and
was racing everyone. No one knew what he was doing. Maybe he was just training all the time
at a high level, just like dedicated to it. So, yeah, he vanished for eight years. So, swoosh kid,
I’m glad you caught that. I showed this yesterday, too. He just appeared out of nowhere. I’m like,
what? How do you disappear for eight years? I’m only I’m thinking school. That’s what he did. Uh,
it’s my story, Colin. I watched a bike terror ride yesterday. You hosted uh Dawn, I think the one
you’re talking about. So that bike terror ride yesterday that you saw, I think you said cool
bike terror stuff. That was a race I did full commentary on. So I was not in that race. Uh that
race would have been, I believe, an otr virtual events. It was a hill climb. So and I did two
rides real close together. I did a Mount Palomar climb and there’s also another one which was a
mount something or other. Both in the US. So, I get them confused in my brain right now. Uh,
so yeah, Dawn, that’s kind of how I started doing my videos, you know. Uh, obviously we’re doing
pros here, continental level riders here. Wow. Ruy Costa 38, Damia Ano Caruso 37, Larry Warbass
35, Julian Bernard, who is not in the very front, but they’re going to be there soon, guys. Uh,
he’s 33. You know what? those guys up there, Damian Caruso, uh Ruy Costa, Larry Wars. They’re
like, “Yeah, let’s get Julian up here, too, man. That gives us four powerhouses at the front.
Four, uh, you know, super experienced veterans. Put in the front crew and let’s roll. Let’s roll.
Let’s let the young guys at the back. Let’s let the GC sleep. Man, they’re cruising to 47k an hour
right now. They covered 51.2 km in the first hour, uh, hour and 5 minutes. And now we’re getting
into the rollers here. They’re currently on the second loop right now. If I come back to the
stage, guys, right now, if we look at this here, uh the Quintanos del Coco, love saying that. Uh
if you’re looking at the profile in the section, I forgot to change my pointer again, but it’s okay.
I think we go through the second the feed point through the second time will be around kilometer
70 in that range somewhere in there. If you look at the map right now, I want to show you where
they’re at. So here’s uh ah Quentinio Del Koko’s over here. They’re somewhere in this part right
now. Finishing up the climb for the second time. Just looking at the profile. So again, the part
they’re on right now is the full loop. This climb, you can see the first part of the profile is not
exactly the same, but the second half of that climb is it’s exactly the same the profile. That’s
how we know they’re on the second loop right now. And then they’re out to the countryside again.
Look at kilometer 85. Here’s an uncatategorized climb. To me, that looks like a cat 3 to me.
They got a cat 3 at the end. Uh 5.3 km at 4%. We’re going to dig into those quickly. And then
also right at the very end, this is the breakaway jumping point right here. 7.6 km at 3%. It’s
kind of another one of those double climbs. It’s actually steeper than that in the locations. We’re
going to take a look into that soon, too. So, right now, guys, 3 minutes 14. the Pelaton has
just let off the gas. They’re like, “Okay, let them go.” Uh partly because there’s no real risky
riders here. There’s no one that’s really a threat to the front end. Also to say Dathlon, they’re
sitting in the front end going, you know what, we’re going to bring them back. Del Toro is not
going to let these guys walk away with this race. Uh anyone else that’s there, uh Pelazari, they’re
not going to let all these guys walk away with the race. Best place rider right now would be Julian
Bernard. He’s 3 minutes and 30 seconds behind overall with a 3 minutes and 14 second gap. I
think that puts him tied with uh Virtual GC right now. Let’s take a look at that. Let’s take a look
at the Virtual GC right now. See if I’ve called that right. No, haven’t called that right yet.
Uh I don’t think they’ve updated it yet. Stage 4 virtual classification. I’m sure we’ll get to
that here right away. Coming back. Guys, really looking forward to the VA again. Espa, I did a lot
more research on it yesterday. I will be putting a preview show together. It’s going to be Sunday
or Monday, I believe. Sunday or Monday. Probably Sunday would be the smart day for me to do it
since there will be people at home. Uh, okay. Okay. When we look at Hello. Hello. Yeah. So,
Don, that was a bike terror race. I think that was actually an otr virtual. I think they called
it the climb club. That might have been the climb club or it might have been a race. I can’t
remember now. That’s a few months back. But yeah, all the people in that race, those are real
world people sitting in their basements or wherever they are. Some guys set their trainers
up outside. Some guys have it in the back shed in the UK. They take like a tiny little
back shed and make it like their little uh fortress of solitude back there and they
train out there and everyone’s riding together. I’ve always loved doing commentary and so that’s
how I got started in doing my things not on By Terra on another another platform. Uh 3:14 back
right now guys. Uh okay. Oh look at this Robert. Dude, thank you so much. Ben Zuhof was a cross
country mountain biker. So Robert, can you see stats right now without me digging into it? Was
he mountain biking the whole time? 36 watching, guys. Let’s ramp it up. Drew Schaefer’s back.
Drew is back in the mix. Hi, guys and gals. Colin, I’m getting ready for a 4-day raft trip on the
Colorado River. Ruby horse Thief and Westwater can. Dude, that sounds amazing. Hopefully the
weather’s good for you. Looking for some hot temperatures. 90 Fahrenheit, splashing in the
water. Uh hopefully the coolers are stocked if you get my drift. So, yeah, Robert, I did
not know that at all. I’m just looking at pro cycling stats. I would have thought some
of that would have shown up, but maybe not. Uh, Drew, so I won’t be here much today, but
we go Sunday driving to LMA, northwest of Grand Junction. Okay, he’s getting ready to head out.
So, he’s gone I think he said 4 days. Yeah, 4 day raft trip. So, he’ll be gone Saturday, Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, I believe. Drew, you can catch up on the uh Walta preview uh chitchat I’m going
to do. It’s going to be a live chitchat, guys. So, I’m going to have all the maps open. I’m going to
have my final decision for my climbing application I want to use. We’re going to talk about all the
stages. Kind of go through it all. It’s kind of a different vault this year. One, they start in
Italy. They spend four days in Italy and France. They actually I think on the fourth day they
cross into France. Uh medium mountain stages, not nothing too massive. Then they transfer
overnight and they go to Andor and that’s where the fireworks start going off. They spend
I probably 99% of it outside of Madrid at the end is all across the northern part of Spain
all through uh you’d be going up through the Pyrenees then through the Canabrians. It looks
like they even get to the Galatian Mountains. Then they zip down back into uh Madrid itself
which is smack dab in the middle of Spain. Okay. Uh I think it was a climb club. One of my
neighbors has a bike set up in Yeah, I I believe it was a climb club. So, those are
like weekly events that are put on. Yeah, Don, you’d be surprised how many people have these
virtual setups in their garages. It’s wherever you can make it work, right? Okay. Awesome,
Dream. I’ve been looking at that, too. So, guys, here’s another one from Dream. She’s
the ultimate source for me for uh cycling in the women’s world. Uh, August 15th, 16th, and
17th is the 3-day tour of Roman feminine. Uh, so I’ve already been looking at Dream. I actually
started watching it yesterday. I was looking at last year’s cuz I didn’t see it. Um, I don’t
think they had any commentary for it though. So, it was on Flow Bikes. Oh, I did see that. I think
I have seen Yeah. Uh, Demiy’s there. Elise Shab’s there again. Evita Music’s there again. Guys,
these are names I never would have known if it wasn’t for doing Tour to France. Fem’s AEX Swift.
Yeah, FTJ definitely have their 18 there. So, Avita, who I think finished ninth, uh Elise,
who got the uh Queen of the Mountains jersey, and Demi, who got second overall at Tur of
France, fem No. Eliza Longer Borgghini. Okay, so Dream, what do you think’s up with
her? Just kind of waiting on decision. Uh yeah. Okay, here’s Drew. He’s got the coolers
pack, the dry ice, the frozen limit, etc. Rosé. Oh, yeah. Let’s get it, dude. It’s Friday and I’m
feeling like that myself, guys. Feeling like that myself. Uh, feels like it might be, you know, a
fun night to uh have an early celebration this week. Why? Just celebrating all the stuff I get
to do here, guys. I love doing this. Uh, will be working on some stuff in the setup here, guys.
I have one of these funky things. If you know what it is, this is a stream deck. Uh, I’ve been
given direct orders from the boss Joey Jojo to get my stream deck up and running. It’s just fun for
doing fun little applications. You You know what it’s really good for? Uh, you can put on sound
effects. You can flash things up on screen really quick. There’s a bunch of buttons on here. You can
see there’s 15 buttons and you just tap it. So, you might actually have it set like sounds. So,
if you tap this one once, it’ll open your sounds menu. And then at that point you’re in the sounds
menu and then you would have 15 buttons available for any sound effects, things like that. Uh it
could be like a bell clanging when we get to the 1 kilometer mark, something like that. It’s just
a matter of getting it all set up, getting all the files. Uh after the Okay, what’s UA doing?
No. Uh Squibbitty and Okay. Yeah, no Squeean and uh Dominica. I started seeing it yesterday,
guys. We can probably take a look at that later. going to look at that. Leo Trek also have their
18 team. So that would be Neem Fisher Black. I think I did see Neem was there. So yeah, Dream I
did look at it quickly. I might have been looking on pro cycling stats even. I think that’s where
I was looking at it. Uh Movie Star 2. So yeah, all the teams that kind of had, you
know, less than what they expected at uh Turf France FX Swift are probably going out to
get a win. probably want to get a win. Okay, guys, let’s take another look here. So, those two that
were chasing the chase group have not got back on yet. They’re not back on yet. They were getting
very close. They were down to 25 seconds. So, be really cool to set the see these nine get together
and just form a real nice working chain gang. Uh just power through rotation on the poles. And
let’s go, boys. 3 minutes and 14 second gap right now. And I’m going to just keep going through the
chat here. Drew Tur Lane yesterday rode up uh Le France. I skied there a half dozen times. I was
catching that one. I don’t think I saw the finish of it. I don’t know if you guys saw yesterday
too. I did an Arctic tour of Norway. Sorry, the Arctic race of Norway yesterday as well. I
jumped on right after the stream. Uh think I did that for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Corbin Strong, the
New Zealander for Israel primary tech first place and his leadout man got second place. forget his
name off hand. Uh Fenix. So yeah, it looks like uh Dream saying, “Don’t know why UEIE entered the
B team.” Yeah, wiped out. 41 people watching now, guys. Let’s ramp this up for the weekend, guys.
Let’s ramp it up. We got one more stage after this, guys. I’ve got so many plans. So like, I’m
looking at this. This takes me through Saturday. Sunday might be just to kind of Well, I’m sure I
can find I think the tour Arctic Tour race, Arctic race of Norway. Uh I think it finishes Sunday. I
think Poland finishes Sunday. I still want to do my Valta preview. I’m guaranteeing you I will do a
Valta preview. I want everyone to jump in and give me thoughts on the stages. Oh, Vanample is back
with the future goal. Vanample I think is Visma Lisa Bike, correct? Again guys, uh I’m not the
expert on women’s cycling, fem cycling. Uh Dreamis here, uh Chiara Nova, Katada 18. Uh Canyon
have 18 minus Digert. Probably Diger. I mean, I think she beat her leg up pretty good. I did
see an interview with her. I think I was on Ruler yesterday reading and uh she’s like, I’m not
risking my leg basically. like it’s just too painful for her. So I former teammates Oh, check
this out. Here’s a cool stat, guys. Again, this is all from pro cycling stats. Um Ruie Olivera
and Ruy Costa were teammates at UAE from 2019 through 2022. So for four years, these guys lived
and breathed everything together. So there’s going to be ex teammates that know each other well.
They know how each other rides. You know what? They’re for enemies now. We’re They’re working
together. They probably give each other one look and go. Yeah, man. We’re here. We’re here. Let’s
do it. Let’s do it. We’ve got uh Ruie Olive is 18 minutes behind overall. Ruy Costa is 26 minutes
behind. These guys are free for the breakaway today. Ruy Costa right here. EF Education, easy
post rider, world tour rider. Wow. This guy’s kind of done it all. This guy has kind of done it all.
Five-time stage winner at the Tour to Swiss. Abu Dhabi tour. He won the GC in 2017. I do remember
that. Three-time stage winner at the Tour to France way back when, though. 2013 and 2011, guys.
That would have been like the Andy Schlleck era, I believe. World Championships in 2013. Bingo
bongo. There we go. So, they’d see each other in the break like, “Yeah, man, dude. Yeah, let’s do
it. Let’s do it.” Uh, and in this group right now, top specialty for riders in the break, five
of the seven in the break are considered GC riders. That’s kind of their specialty. That all
goes from their rankings in events. They get a kind of a classification as to what they are. Oh,
Robert, I saw that too, dude. I was thinking that, dude. I thought the same, too. Tour of Sheckerland
streaming now. Where the f is sheerland? I thought the exact same, too. I look at that and I think
is that like is that in South Africa somewhere? That’s all I could think. But yeah, where the f
is sheerland? Uh I’m pretty sure that’s on flow bikes right now. Gagante is in without their
Oh, without Justine and Kim. Okay. Mullman de Sheper and Zygarde are in. So Kim Lort won’t be
there. Uh Justine Ger, I can never say her name. I’m just going to go with that. Justine G. She
probably liked that as a nickname. Estine G. Uh, she’s not there to assist. Yeah, I’m sure uh FDJ
is going to demolish everyone. They have to now. Uh, read lots of articles. You know, I don’t know
why there’s all this stuff against Demi Verering. You know, they say, you know, the articles
are saying she’s a drama queen. She’s this, she’s that. I mean, it’s just sports. Uh, Roman
D is kind of stacked. Okay, Dream. That’s the one I’m I’ve already planned on doing that. So, we’re
going to get through this guy and then next week there’s a couple go on. There’s tour of Denmark.
That’s a two pro level race guys. Uh we’re going to see a ton of Danish riders there. Some World
Tour teams there. Uh pro Series teams and I think even a couple of continental level teams. Okay, so
Moistar has a chance. Uh Dream, who’s who’s there in the Movar lineup for Tour Romany? I probably
won’t. Oh, Moistar. Marlon Rouser. Bingo. Uh yeah, if she’s there, they definitely have a chance.
So you’re saying there’s a chance. You’re saying there’s a chance. Yes. Um Marlin Rooster will
be there for Leanne Liippert. See, Dream, I do remember these names. I do remember the
names. Okay, guys. Things are sitting stagnant right now. We’re 100 kilometers to the finish
right now. We’re just about coming out of the circuit loop before we head eastwards now towards
the two climbs. What I want to do as well is uh you know what guys I’m going to jump into here.
We’re going to look at the profile the part the port alimemetries. So hopefully you’re seeing this
right now. We’re going to have a quick peek at it. So these are the two climbs we still got to go to
today. Uh again this is from the VGO Vaos website itself. Just stats here on the clims. Uh I’m going
to have a coffee sip as everything catches up. Two climbs to go still, guys. So, we’re doing
them order the Alta del Colo del Vestere. Uh, looks like it’s about 5.2 km and they’re
saying average of 3.9%. And just looking at that, I’m like, yeah, that’s pretty
chill climb. That’s nothing too bad. Little flat section in the beginning part.
Someone might try to jump over that. Go on the flat here for that 1 kilometer stretch to get
away over the top. they can get away over the top. They could be off to the races. Second climb
of the day though is a bit different. Again, this is one of those deceptive climbs again. So,
7.7 km and they’re saying 3.3%. But take a look at this middle chunk. Between four, well, it’s
hard to say where it is because you can see here, yeah, it’s going to be quite steep. So, between
four and 6 km, it’s a negative gradient. So, you got a negative 5% for 1 km. You got a negative
1% for 1 kmter which actually includes some of the climb up. So probably 3 400 meters you’re
still climbing. Obviously that’s not a negative gradient. This part here on the backside must
be 10 12%. To bring that down uh to that minus one but realistically you could take this right
out. And then if you took that out this average gradient goes way up. Uh you’re looking at more.
Let’s drop out 2 km. I’m going to say it’s 5.7%. So, sorry. 5.7 kilometers at 6% gradient. That’s
what I’m kind of seeing if I take out those two kilometers in the middle. Hope that makes
sense, guys. This is kind of how I’m looking at things here. Oo, Javier Romo has has the most PCS
points for the season so far. I’m going to take a look at this dude right here. He’s a Spanish
rider. Rides for Movar. Now go down his Palm Mars here and you can see here true to Swiss
for 39th place overall. He got 10 UCI points, five PCS points. The UCI points are like the ones
that’s the ones you want. He’s had a great year here. Uh 2025 he now has 460 uh PCS points. Wish
that would show his UCI points there. I’m not sure how you get to see that outside of looking here.
Tour of Roman 10th place overall. A lot of good stage performances there too. What’s this? So GC
Rider Climber Hills one day races. Uh I thought I saw a TT here. Individual time trial 36. So
he’s not, you know, the best of the time trials, but he’s far from being the worst, too. I would
give him a little bit of a time trial boost. I guess they gave him a tiny bit here. Little bar
blue there. You can see uh what else has this guy done? Santos Tour down under second in the GC. Who
who remembered that? Someone here put their hand up and say yes I remember that this dude here Jav
Romo got second at Santos round under. That’s 400 UCI points guys. Yeah. Hiter first place on stage
three. Wow. So maybe that tour the tour down is his kind of thing. It’s a hot race. Is it hot?
No, it’s actually their winter there in January. Anyways, had a really good year. So, that’s Romo
here. He’s in the breakaway. Only 5 minutes 26 second downs, too. So, he’s kind of like the
second guy that’s a threat here uh to the GC. Now, they’re not going to get away, but I’m cheering
for him anyways. Um Dream. Oh, I know. I know why Dominica and uh Maya are out. They might be at
the tour of Poland feminine same week if I recall correctly. Okay. Yeah, I haven’t I didn’t even
look at the tour of Poland feminine yet. I don’t think I have access to that here. I’m actually
watching the tour of Poland right now. It’s on as well. Uh the big crash a couple days ago. Anyone
watch the tour of Norway yesterday? Uh that sprint finish was really good. Uh surprising how well
they stayed up. No, I didn’t see any crashes in about the hour and 20 minutes I watched yesterday
and and that was all video feed I had to see. Uh but it looked like they were about to crash at
any second. Yeah, Sheila’s got it right here. Sheila Newman. So much rain in the Nor. Uh is it
another hot one in Spain today? Yeah, Sheila, it’s roasting here. They’re saying the forecast is 35
36° weather during the race here. I can pull that up for you. Uh well, maybe it’s came down a bit.
It says 29.7 right now going to 32. So that that would be 90 Fahrenheit, but the forecast I saw in
in Bergos itself, h maybe it’s hotter in Burgos, maybe down in the valley, uh it’s sweltering
there this week. So 95 Fahrenheit every day. And 95 is about all I need. If I go to if I get
100 Fahrenheit, well, that’s Vegas. And that doesn’t even really count because in Vegas people
aren’t outside during the day. They’re all in AC. So, if you’re doing something outside in Vegas,
you’re doing it at 6 o’clock in the morning. Uh, dream. So, Eliza Longaborgini 2 is out. Useless
to just participate with little help. Oh, okay. Because the team is so weak as it is. They’re
sending the B team. So, what’s the point of sending her for her to do all the work? 48 people
now, guys. It’s Friday. Let’s rock. Let’s rock, guys. Okay, still got our riders. The gap now
is out to 4 minutes and 15 seconds. Let’s have a quick look at the actual uh virtual classification
on the road right now. Julian Bernard is now in second place overall. You can see it here, guys.
Uh take a look at the chart that’s on the screen here or the list. You can see Leo Bassau is still
in the lead technically. Like if they entered the race right now, uh Julian Bernard has moved up 33
positions with this move today. He’s gained three minutes and 30 seconds back. Uh, same with Javier
Romo here. He’s gained 4 minutes and 15 seconds back. That’s all going to change by the end,
guys. But it’s kind of fun to look at right now. Are there There will be time bonuses at
the finish. Uh, what I’m looking for, are there any points out on course?
Yeah, there is. Just found it here. Um, Palasio’s Delisera. We got time bonuses
here. We got 32 and 1 second time bonus. uh right before the start of the final
the second last climb. And you can see here between kilometers 40 and 60 that would
have been on the second loop. Uh take a look at the profile here. Kilm 40 to 60 roughly. Uh
the breakaway really put a beating on the Pelon. They’ve really accelerated away from them now. 4
minutes 15 seconds. So the Pelon’s going to have to start bring thinking about doing some work to
start bringing them back. Looking at the time. Oh, I don’t have my phone with me. It’s charging
over there, but we won’t have video feed for a little bit still. See what time it is. So,
guys, it’s currently 20 after Yeah, 20 after 6:00 in the morning. 20 after 6:00 in the morning.
I got to make sure I turn all that volume down. Yeah, 20. So, they’ve taken a huge gap over the
last 20k. They’ve dragged that lead, you know, say from kilometer 35 to kilometer 60s something.
They’ve gained like three and a half minutes on them. Uh, showing it here now, guys. Hilarious to
me. I was just talking about this and now it gets flashed up on screen here. Virtual general
classification, Leo Bassau, Julian Bernard, second place. He’s gone up 33 places today,
guys. Love it. Love all the stats here. Uh, probably the best place to find all your
live stats is pro cycling stats. Okay. Uh, Don’s asking, “What’s the humidity?” It’s
88 Fahrenheit in New Jersey, but 90 with uh but 80% humidity. Oh, I see. Oh, yeah. That’s
gruesome, Don. That is gruesome. 88 Fahrenheit. Guys, I woke up this morning. Uh, you know, I’m
downstairs in the uh the man cave with the puppy sleeping because we already have a bunch of
other dogs in the house and he thinks it’s party mode all the time. So, I’ve got him trained
already late at night. Late at night, somewhere after 8:00 p.m. at night. Come on, buddy. Let’s go
downstairs. He just runs downstairs, jumps up on the couch. He sleeps all night and he’s sleeping
through the night now. Okay, Robert’s got the uh Oh, so Dawn. Yeah, sweltering hot there. I
went upstairs, Don. It’s freezing in the house. It’s been raining all night apparently. Uh we tend
to keep a lot of our doors open. So like my front door, I’ve got one of those uh magnet things with
the the fly netting, you know, the mesh, so the dogs can go in and out. The other dogs took them
about a week to 10 days to not be afraid of that thing. The new dude, he just ran through it. He’s
like, I’m going through, man. I’m blowing right through there. I want to call him Trucker, but uh
we still haven’t decided officially on his name. Oh, what did we decide last night? His name
changed. Oh, now Joey wants to call him Heatfield. James Heetfield from Metallica. So, yeah, that’s
sweltering hot dawn. Yeah, exactly. Thank god it’s Friday. I feel like making it a Friday today. Do
the stream. Do the Arctic Race of Norway. Race to town. Get food for the piggies. I’m out. So, I
got to get going there right away. Get home. Uh, clean up whatever the little pup destroys. Get
on the bike and then try to enjoy Friday. Have an early Friday evening. Thank god it’s Friday. Uh
Robert here. Sheckerland is in central Romania, Transennylvania. What a lovely looking
country. Who knew? Yeah, dude. I’ve never heard of Sheerland before. Uh yeah, Dream Bisau
is only 20 years old. And you know what? I loved it yesterday because you got like the main
GC contenders for the race. He just destroyed them yesterday. He absolutely cracked them so
hard on that sprint. They were just all like, “Uh, who’s going to go here? Who’s going to go?”
Chances of him winning are low, but man, I would love to see him win instead of it just being the
Isaac Del Toro cakewalk. Uh, I don’t want to see that. Just looking through some stats here, guys.
So, they should be out of the loop now. They’ll be out of that loop I was talking about, guys. We’re
going to jump back here to the map again. So, here’s that loop I was talking about. this they
went through Quintania del Koko two times. So they left the start, headed south, went west
north, then they went onto the loop. Part of the loop on the profile looks exactly the same
because you’re going to ride it twice. The first part of the loop you’re only riding a portion
of it. So it’s this loop here they did twice. And now they’ll be they’re probably heading out to
Santa Domingo de Silos right away. Going back to the live stats here, gap still growing. 4 minutes
22 seconds. Uh that chase group out front though, the two riders like they’re just doing a lot
of work for probably maybe no reason. They’re 1 minute 25 seconds back of the seven up front.
They were down to within 25 seconds of them at one point. I thought they were coming back. My
in my mind I’m like those guys up front here, Julian Bernard’s coming. They probably, you know,
let’s get some more power. Uh then again, they’re probably thinking Julian Bernard rides for Lead El
Trek. He’s the best place rider overall with him in the group. Lead El Trek may not let them get
away. Trek Segfredo. Wow. He’s been a Trek guy his entire career. Trek factory racing as a trainee in
uh 2015. August 1st, 2015. You know what’s funny here, too? I’m I’m seeing all this. Maybe it’s
just the way they do it. Three times now in just this race alone using pro cycling stats I’ve seen
guys being designated as a traininee from August 1st there was a guy yesterday Mario Silva and a
guy I think on day one Mario Silva has been uh a traininee since August 1st of this year and he
was in the breakaway yesterday compete with world tour riders. Uh so Julian Bernard has spent his
entire career with the uh Trek found track racing team some sort or another jumping out of there.
422 from the front end to the back end here. Will the break make it to the finish? That’s
what they’re asking here on the poll. If if Julian Bernard gets there, no, they won’t make
it. Who’s next best? Javier Romo right there. which teams are going to come to the front first.
I won’t be able to tell, guys, till I get my video feed because right now, just looking at all these
wonderful stats, I can’t really see what’s going on. I can’t see who’s working on the front unless
it tells me. And I’d rather see it myself. Uh, okay. Don, I had one of those two dogs and get
out. Bugs don’t come in through the screen door. Yeah, except it took the other dogs uh like
honestly 10 days. They were just standing there looking at what do we do? What do we do, Dad?
How do we get through that door? And the little guy just comes up, hits it with a paw, rolls
right through. So on the front side of my house, so I have a bungalow. So it’s, you know, w a
twotory, narrower. This is a bungalow. I’m out in the country, so it’s kind of like a ranch
style if you want to call it that. One level, main floor. And then right beside that, I have an
attached double garage. I ended up building a dog enclosure all along the entire length of the house
and then the entire width of the garage. So even the garage is I think the garage is 26 ft wide.
The house is probably more like I’m going to say 50 ft for the bungalow I think. Just guessing.
So it’s like you know a 75 foot long run. It’s probably 10 to 12 feet wide. It’s all enclosed.
It’s all gravel. They have shelter out there. But he just runs in and out all day. I’m like, where
is he? What’s he destroying? He’s outside just chewing on a bone. Perfect little dog so far. Uh,
Bassau signed until 2028. He’s got an eight. Okay, three-year contract. Uh, yeah, I think he’s going
to be an absolute winner for them. They scored there with that guy. Let’s take a look at Leo
Bassau again. Here he is. 20 years old. Fontaine Blue. Fontaine Blue. That’s the same That’s the
name of the casino in uh Vegas. Uh the the newest casino in Vegas, guys. Yeah, it is the newest uh
world tour team. So, he was development team in 2024. So, they’ve been scouting this guy, I think,
for a long time. Wrote with AG2R. Uh so, he’s been in their system for a couple years. Went to the
development team uh when they merged with AG2R. Okay. What has he done this year? So, they’ve
got him out there racing, guys. Uh he did the Bass Country early in the year back in April. Just
watching um looks like Vizma’s putting some her on at the tour of Poland right now. So there’s a
race here early in the year. Perry Cam Bear one day race.1 level race uh fifth place in that. Got
UCI points for that. Then he gets 25th at the uh Bass Country tour of Romany. Okay, so he started
the tour of Roman didn’t finish it. Something happened there to him. He did the prologue. Oh,
they had a prologue. I didn’t even know that. So, it must be like a a short time trial. Tour
to Swiss back in June. Tune up for the tour to France. Uh 35th overall. Nice performance for
20-year-old. Then at the uh French Championships, 14th in the time trial, so he’s not really a
super strong individual time trialist. DNFed the road race. 14th place at San Sebastian
though last weekend. And now first place, Walt Ebergos. So look at this for him. He’s like,
“Ah, I had a mediocre French time trial. Then I didn’t even finish the road race. Probably all
bummed out.” Sits around for all of July. It says he didn’t do anything for July. You
know, Decathlon’s racing at the Tour to France. All of a sudden picks up a 14th place at
San Sebastian Classic. That’s a tough race. Uh, and now finds himself leading the Volta Bergos.
Like how the tides change. How the tides change, guys. What goes down must come up. That type
of thing. Uh, could be a bargain. Definitely. I named my last dog Jo uh Judy after the Rock
Shock Forks. Tony C is finally in the mix, guys. Here. Hey, Tony. Good to see you, dude. Uh,
we’re back at it. Stage four, Voila Aberos. Guys, I think this is a really cool race and I’m hoping
uh you know what, the Spanish love this race. They absolutely love it. They’ve already got they’ve
got commentary of it. I think they have it on TV every day there, but it’s probably just local
TV. There’s not a lot of coverage of it. So, I’m hoping my little channel here to help get some
more exposure, at least to the English speakaking world. It’s kind of hard to follow races when
you don’t have no idea what they’re saying. teams. This is Tony and teams keeping expectations
low for some with designation. So team does not have to answer for them maybe. Okay, I’m just
trying to understand what Tonyy’s saying here. Okay, we’ll figure that out. 51 people watching
now, guys. 4 minutes and 42 second gap. GC Pelaton is just letting this go. I guess they’re
thinking we’re going to pull it all back on the climbs anyways. How far will we get out? I think
the front end is just going I’d love to see some average speeds here between the front and the
Pelaton. Average speed overall though, guys, is 45.6 km an hour. Like, that’s insane. We’ve
been racing for an hour and 41 minutes. We’ve been climbing all day long. Super punchy course. This
is not an easy course at all. We’ve been dipping down as low as 900 m, probably climbing up to
1150 so far. So up and down on that profile, you can see it, you know, downhill, going
up, back down again, to climb again, to come back down. It’s never staying. We’re up
high. It’s always going back down. Group one is now on the climb. Let’s see if this changes at
all. Here we are on like a gradual climb now. Prof. Okay, awesome. I love seeing stuff like
this here, guys. You can see the interest in the riders. I’m going to slide this up so you can see
it better. Profile hits today for riders in the break. This is the count from pro cycling stats
itself of people that are looking this dude up. Javier Roma like who’s this guy? Well, now you
know. He said 805 hits today. People checking him out. Obviously Ben Zuv is everyone that’s
in the break. It’s people like me looking at it. Yeah. So, Leo Bassau first
place overall. Uh we will take a look at the general classification again. Okay, so this has all changed here. Now they’re
showing Julian Bernard. Yeah, so Julian Bernard is is losing time. He’s not in that front group.
Uh I think he’s going to slowly drift back. Let’s go through the top 10 though virtually right
now. Leo Basson first, Julio Pelazari, Del Toro, Fortunado, Johannes Kulet, Giovani Elotti, Urka
Bar, Andrew August, Inioscar Nadir is right there. Javier Romo, that’s a dude who’s in the break
right now. That’s the Moistar rider. Egan Bernal sitting in 11th place. Julian Bernard is in the
second group of riders who I’m sure are going to start falling back. They’re two minutes behind the
other group now. Let’s have a quick peek at that. Yeah, they’re 205 be behind leaders. They’re going
to slowly drift back. What I can say though is Julian Bernard up the road. Well, let’s take a
little look at Julian Bernard here, guys. Well, what we can do is let’s do it this way. Um,
oops, I’m in the wrong spot. We want to go through this start list. Why is it important for
Julian Bernard to be up the road? Let’s look at his teammate. You guys already know the answer.
I know you do. Julian Bernard’s up the road here. his team leader, Julio Chicone, might be using
him as a satellite rider later in the race. He’s got a lot of ground to make up now. I think he’s
like a minute and 20 seconds back on the GC. So, but that’s just something I’m thinking in my head
right now. They’re going to put him out front. Maybe Shaone can go on an attack later. Let’s look
at the actual GC here. Chicone is 16th overall, but he’s 136 down. So, this is going to be tough
for him to get away with something. Now, if they don’t react, Bernard could be up front trying to
get away, but they’re slowly pulling him back. Right now, the front group of seven are getting
away. The second group are being pulled back ever so slowly. Now, you can see the profile here,
uh, between kilometer 78 and 88, which we’re on right now. They’re on this climber now. Actually,
it’s going to start right now. Uh, so what you’re seeing on the screen there, that little zoomed in
profile, that’s what they’re going to encounter. Couple of steeper sections, but nothing too
hard. Again, I’d call all this false flatty here, but this would get a categorization. Uh,
this hill probably is categorized somewhere. Uh, Robert, yeah, I forgot that Ruie Costa
was world champion 12 years ago. Not a memorable world champion. Those dark years.
Yeah, that’s true. Ah, okay, Tony. Gotcha, dude. Gotcha. I see what you’re saying
now. Yeah. Sometimes I read stuff, guys, I’m like, “Huh?” It’s something what I’ve
said. Uh, you said that you saw a cyclist noted as a traininee from August 1st. That was
my point about keeping expectations low. Yeah, I think it’s when they first bring them to a world
tour team, they get designated as a traininee. Uh, what I did notice, Tony, is that I’ve seen three
riders in this race designated as trainee. They’ve all been on August 1st. So, it must be something
kind of like the transfer season. You know, they never there’s never any transfers before August 1.
There’s rumors of it. Then they all kind of become official after that. It’s like an unwritten rule.
You no transfers before August one. So probably the same as the uh the trainees. I maybe trainee
has a different status too. They probably get to pay them less. That’s my guess. So 4 minutes and
40 seconds. I think at this time that the GC’s got to start thinking, okay, that’s enough. That’s
enough. I bet you if we had some video feed, they’re all probably riding block across the road.
All the teams actual GC. Let’s take a look at that again. Decathlon’s probably sitting up there.
Red Bull, UAE, uh, Fortunado’s team’s right there. They’re probably all just looking each
other. Okay, who’s going to start working? Who’s going to work for this? They’re going to expect
Dathlon, too. Uh, but Del Toro is the big favorite coming into this race. So, Dathlon could play it
that way, too. Well, dude, if you want to win, you’re going to have to start chasing. We’re We’re
the smaller team here. You’ve got a team with a $60 million budget to a team that probably doesn’t
even have half that. UAE’s just got too much money available, guys. Too much money available.
We got 61 watching now, guys. Awesome stuff. Uh, designated traininee. Oh, Tony’s designated
himself as a traininee. Yeah, me too, man. Me, too. Uh, I don’t even know if I’d be considered
like a car driver for them right now. I’ve my training has been so sporadic lately. So, got
to get on the bike today. So, I’ll be I have to go to town though first. If I go to Well, no,
I’m not going to do that. Well, okay. So, I do have to go to town first today because I have no
food for those piggies that are outside. We have uh six young pigs running around. They’re They
almost run around like rats out there. Um so, I got to get them fed. They get home, jump on
the bike. probably thinking a Zift ride today. Do my Zift uh weekly ride. I do usually probably
ride Zift two to three times a week. Uh Ruby Bike Terror, throw that in there, too. There’s some
really good routes on there. Uh sitting stagnant now at 4 minutes and 40 seconds, guys. Two riders
are 2 minutes 35 seconds ahead of the break, and then we’ve got seven riders at the front.
Absolutely killing it. Uh best place rider there is Javier Romo. At this point here, I’d be
thinking, wonder what his team’s telling him. What would his team be telling him right now? Start
list. Let’s see who’s on Moastar. Uh Moastar here. Actually, they don’t even show a full team. They
only list five riders. Jav Romo, Diego Pescador, Antonio Pedro, Jefferson, Alvo Sepeda. Take
a look at this dude here. 29 years old. did the VA this year. Sorry, did the
Jirro this year. Uh 34th place overall. Perry Nice didn’t finish that one. That
was way back in March. Grand Commino, seventh place. Uh Volta Valencia. This is a
good one. Seventh place overall this one. So, this guy’s a strong rider. GC
contender, GC rider style, I guess. Um, I don’t know who the rest of their team
is. They should have two more riders showing here. One day races and hills for John Brenia.
Yeah, TNX. How do you pronounce a T and an X? Oo. 66 out of the 132 riders in this VA do not
have a pro win. Yesterday was Leo Bassau’s first pro win ever. So, he’s got number one under his
belt. It’s only looking better and better for him. Let’s let that sit. Let me have
a sip of coffee here, guys. I will probably do a coffee run once I hear
Joey Jojo get up. I don’t hear my house being torn apart. So, puppy has probably gone back to
sleep down here. You know, all these young dogs, it’s either like I don’t hear any noise. Either
they’re destroying everything or you just find them and they’re just sleeping and you’re like,
“Thank you. Thank you so much.” Yeah. So, we’ll just jump over to Arctic Tour after this. Um, I
actually don’t even have a stream set up for it, so I’m going have to figure that out real quick.
Uh, I don’t think I have a I don’t think I have anything ready for it. Yep. So, Dono Santos to
Regu Regul Delesier. 163 km today. Gap still sitting stagnant. 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
You see here they’re climbing their way up. Okay, just looking at some stuff here, guys, and waiting for my feed to come
through. Going to start looking now. Okay, says live. Yeah, that won’t be live
for probably looks like another half hour. I think 20 minutes. 20 minutes I’ll be able to
tell you what’s actually going on. Uh you need eyes on you need eyes on the video to see what’s
actually going on and catch little details that are going off there. Uh we got Poland still
going on right now. I’m sure a lot of you are watching all three of these races or all four
of these races. Uh Arctic Race of Norway. Yeah, all four. maybe even five races. We’ve got
Tour of Poland still going on. We’ve got Tour Deleain. We’ve got the Arctic Race of Norway.
We’ve got Valta Eberos. And we also have the uh world famous tour of Sheckerland. You go
up to Count Dracula’s Castle, dude. Anhill, who’s back, dude. Anhill. Dude, you know what’s
crazy? I thought about you yesterday. I’m like, where’s that dude from Mexico? Where’s the dude
from Ensanada? Uh, dude, no. I think maybe Are you in Tijana? Uh, Del Toro sitting in second place
overall at the moment. Is he second? I mean, he might be third. Yeah, Del Toro right now is 26
seconds back tied with Lorenzo Fortunado uh for third place essentially. Julio Pelazari from Red
Bull Boransgora 22 seconds back. Leo Bassau here for Dathlon AGTR Lemon Dial first place uh after
yesterday’s explosive attack. One kilometer to go to go to the finish. Five riders, all of those top
GC guys were there. He just dropped them all uh went on the attack and I think they really screwed
that up yesterday. Uh so yeah, greetings everybody from Anhal here. Anal Angel and Don saying
greetings back. Okay, we’re still sitting sagging at 440, guys. I need more time checks. Oh, wow.
Check this out here, guys. Check this out here. I want to have a quick look at something here. Wow.
Insane. This is insane, guys. This is a really cool stat. You’re not going to get this kind of
stuff other places. Like, I can read it. You guys can see it here. The earliest participation in the
Vulta Edberos for competitors in this race. Check this out. 2008 by Jonathan Castra Viejo. Now that
is an Inos Grenadier. And I do know for a fact he is retiring this year. Let’s see. Usually they say
retiring. Oh, it says right here. Take a look at the top right hand corner. Jonathan’s or Jonath.
It’s probably Jonathan Castro Viejo born in Spain. Uh, oh wow, check this out. Born in Spain, place
of birth, Gecko, Gecko, however you say that. A TNX. Please, Spanish speakers, let me know how
you say that. That race was on last weekend. The Cirquito Decko was on last weekend, right before
the San Sebastian Classic. So, I’m going to say right away, uh, he’s a bass rider. He’s from
the very very north end of uh Spain there in Bas country up in the Canabrians top right hand corner
he retires December 31st 2025. Uh and what’s I’m seeing here his program you can see on the right
hand side again no races on the program. So right now technically he’s not registered for any more
races. I’m sure he’ll be in something. So Jonathan Castro Viejo won a stage at the Tour of Romany in
2011. Uh European individual time trial in 2020 2016. So he was the time trial champion I believe.
National championships, multiple wins, six wins of that. Stage of the vault at Elgarve. That’s an
early season race. Yeah. Had a really good career. So he was back here in 20. So, 17 years
ago, he was here competing as a 21-year-old. Uh, okay. Don here. It would be cool to be the
meal for pro team. I used to be the meal for my bike club. Yeah, there’s always guys that are
the domestics on here. I’m from Tijuana, born and raised and raised. Dude, here’s my question. This
is probably how I was thinking about yesterday, dude. I’m like, how did they find Isaac Del Toro?
How do they find a young dude because he’s super young? How do they find a young dude who’s
racing bikes in Ensanada? Like, how, you know, is there scouts there looking for him? Is there
a huge race scene in Ensanada? I don’t think so. All I can think maybe is that he was able to go
into like say California, uh, Southwest US there, and get involved in racing there. I just don’t I
know nothing about the racing scene in the Baja. Nothing. Uh, it’s probably not really best suited
for bike racing. It’s all desert there. Uh, hot, dry. Tour shekele in chat. Only Asian characters.
Hard to read, but I think they’re saying, “Where’s Benny?” Robert, that’s a good
one, dude. That is so good. So good, man. Yeah. Air then. Then put in 50 Airtrain flags,
guys. That’s a joke. Back to Tur France. Uh, Robert was there the whole time. Every second
question was, “Where’s Benny? We’d be climbing the termite. Can Benny win today’s stage?” Nah.
Sorry, bro. No, he can’t. He can’t. Uh, Drew gets a good laugh out of that. Yeah. Where’s Benny?
It was every day. Uh, X. Okay. Analy. Okay. Dude, I knew you could help me. X is a ch sound. So,
that race, what was it called? Get geck. Wow. I have to go look at this Jonathan again. So,
Gekck XO would be ghetto. Man, that’s simple. TX is a ch sound. So, Gexco would be Ghetto. Is that
correct? Ghetto. Oh, check this dude out here. I knew there’s so many lurkers that are just hiding
and they don’t want to say anything. But, dude, this guy right here, thank you so much, dude. Uh,
we got Dude, I like your name here. Mexican Osen. Mexican Ozen 1465. Not 1464 or six. It’s a 1465er
for sure. designated Mexican Ozen 1465. He was found on mountain bike. Okay, dude. I had no idea
about that. So, that makes sense. They probably saw this guy mountain bike racing in the mountain
bike standings. They saw his power numbers somewhere. Uh maybe you can find him on Was he on
Straa? So, that’s a way that’s another scouting tool. You see big numbers on Strava. Okay,
let’s take a look at this dude. Is he real? Oh, yeah. He’s real. Get uh Dream is Benny changing
teams soon. Actually, there’s talk of him changing teams. I think the latest I heard is maybe a
Stana. Maybe a Stana. What have you guys heard? Uh get uh the Anhill here. Angel saying that sounds
right. Get. Okay. TX is always a ch sound. Okay, dude. Sorry for my crappy Spanish. Uh I try I try
when I’m down there, but the names of places are very hard. Especially that when they slap weird
letters like that together. Oh, dude. Yeah, Robert. I Yeah, I think he’d do better as a team
like there. I think he would, honestly, too. Like a team like Sudal. I agree with you 100%, Robert.
They’re like a lead out trained team. Estana. No. Uh I mean they did have Mark Caendish for what,
a year, maybe two. How long was Caendish at Aana? Uh, but I don’t think they’re built for that right
now. So, Robert saying, “As strange as it sounds, Benny might do well Sidal. I think he’d do better
there than Estana.” Uh, tough team. You know, the Wolfpack kind of built for leadout trains. Dream.
Yeah, give him a decent train. Wolfpack Benny. Yeah, I like that. He is a good sprinter. He’s a
good sprinter. He just doesn’t have the Jonathan Milan 80k an hour sprint. Okay, Don saying here,
I heard Benny may go to either twist down. So, Don’s heard the same room as me or Inos. Okay,
Inos is going to have to go through some huge rebuilding. What’s going to happen with Kevin
Valon? Uh, we’ve got retiring. So, sorry guys, we’re looking I’m stuck here on the Jonathan page.
Uh, but that’s okay. He’s retiring this year. Uh, what’s this saying here? Wow. So cool.
most profile views on day one. Uh Jonathan, he had 32,000 views yesterday because he
won the stage yesterday and people like, “Who’s this dude?” Yeah, people are interested.
Who is this guy? Hitter Decathlon. Decathlon has found a gem in the rough, guys. Uh I really like
when these smaller teams find superstar riders. Let’s hopefully he hope he develops like that.
But yeah, so Archa, who am I thinking about? No, that’s wrong. Kevin Bakalon is on Arca B&B hotels.
It’s Total Energies. I think that’s merging with Grenaders. I think they’re doing a full merger.
Uh, Robbie’s back. Hey, Robbie. Good to see you, dude. Robbiey’s jumping in here, guys. Hey
there, guys. Robbie, so we’re on stage four of Walta Eberos. Really good race. So far we got
a decathlon rider who um basically smashed the GC contenders yesterday. Sprinted away one kilometer
from the finish. In that group was Julio Chiconei, Isaac Del Toro, Julio Palazari. They were
all there. Uh plus uh Lorenzo Fortunado, the Dathlon rider is probably like the least known
rider in that bunch of five. One kilometer out, he just accelerated. They had no response to it. He’s
currently the leader of the race. Actual GC. Let’s have a look at that again, guys. Get there. Leo
Basau, first place for Dathlon, AG2R, Lemon Dial, Julio Pelazari for Red Bull, 22 seconds back,
Isaac Del Toro, Lorenzo Fortunado, and then we’ve got an Uno X mobility rider. So, again, great job
for Uno X here. I mean, these guys are going world tour guys. World Tour team next year, I believe.
I think they’re very close to being there. Uh, seven riders up front, guys. We’re out to
five minutes now. So, we have seven riders in the front group. A lot of experience up there.
Damiano Caruso is there. Damian Cruso was This is interesting, guys. Damiano Caruso was
in fifth place. He bounced to fourth place after stage two. I don’t know what happened with
him yesterday. I can probably look at his stage results for yesterday. So, after stage three, so
day one, he was in fifth place. Day two, he was in fourth place. after stage three. He’s 12 minutes
and 43 seconds behind. So, what happened to him yesterday? He lost a lot of time yesterday. Uh,
finished 80th overall. That last climb must have really got to him. Something must have happened
out on course that we never saw on video. Still waiting for my video feed to come through, guys.
Uh, I think we are we well, looks like we’re about 9 minutes away, but yeah, it’s 5 minutes from the
front group of seven. Julian Bernard and those guys are still out there. They’ve actually pulled
back some time. Two riders, Jose Maria Garcia. That dude there is a continental level rider is
riding with Julian Bernard for Leel Trek. They’re 146 behind. It’s a further 3 minutes and 15
seconds back to the Pelaton. Uh we have 74 km to go. The climbing is still to come, guys. We still
have over 1,000 meters of uh climbing elevation to do. Uh so yeah, Robbie, welcome aboard. Robbie
Rogersburg, what’s people’s thoughts on Pog? Do you think he’s up to no good or is or he’s the
first of a new breed of pro cyclist coming up the ranks? Yeah, dude. I’ve heard lots of
talks about it. Like, you know, you know, you guys probably all listen to the same stuff
I do. It’s kind of like the new era. Like, the new era is Pogy and Yonas. The rest aren’t there.
They’re just not there. um you know the Bernal’s and like how would Bernal it’s hard to say like
if we took peak Bernal 2020 when he was 21 years old so when did Bernal win Bernal won the tour to
France at the age of so he won in 2019 that was 6 years ago he won the tour to France I guess at
either 21 or 22 years old I believe he’s 28 right now if we took Pete Bernal then tour to France
winner would he compare with Pogy now I don’t something this new era whatever the new era is
guys it’s different so there’s kind of like that split off I think right at co you know the year
the world shut down it’s new there’s something new uh up to no good or he’s the first of a new brood
of pro cyclist coming up the ranks yeah dream here bes dusted the GC favors. Yeah, he walked them
hard. He went and like I said yesterday, Dream, I saw it live. I love watching the live footage
here. Situation at Okay, so they’re still showing that it’s 2:25 back now from the front group to
the second pack. I think Julian’s just sitting there as a satellite rider. Maybe Chicone is going
to try to light something up today. He’s got a lot of work to pull the uh GC back, but he might be
able to go on an attack cuz he is 136 down. He’s 136 behind overall. Currently second place at the
stage. I think it’s 22 seconds back to Pelazari. So Jacone’s got a little bit of freedom perhaps.
Uh Robert, world tour teams often have a hard time finding the big sponsors to provide the big money.
Aside from that, cycling seems like a healthy sports. Lots of races, plenty of athletes. Yeah,
it does. I think it’s pretty healthy. It’s just not big in Canada and North America. It’s just
not. You know, you have to fight to find coverage of it. Whereas I think this Walta Bergos, this is
like the the biggest thing happening here outside of the Walta. I mean, there’s so many races
here. It’s such a big thing. It’s kind of like hockey in Canada. Uh hockey in Canada. If you’re
going to become a hockey player, your parents have you in skates playing hockey, let’s call it
competitively. There’ll be leagues. Uh there’ll be kids playing at 5 years old. That’s why Canadians
become so good at hockey. We start them young. It’s just like the same if it’s any sport in
the world. You get kids playing baseball young, uh they’ll become good baseball players.
That’s that’s the thing in the states, right? They play baseball probably all throughout
uh junior school, junior high, middle school, high school. We don’t play that here. I don’t know
one person that played baseball in high school here. I know probably threearters of the dudes I
went to high school with played hockey. I didn’t. I was a cyclist. I was the weird one. Uh, the
incred team is not merging with another company, but rather have entered into a jersey partnership
with Total. Yeah, Tony, I never understood that. I never understood that because they had that on for
the tour to France. So, they’re not merging. Okay, that’s good to know. Uh, Robbie, any Austin
totalers are part of the same company, but two distinct teams. Okay, that’s what
I’m thinking you’re saying there. Okay, so we’re not going to have a merge of the teams
and then have guys looking for places to ride next year. I’m glad about that. We got T. Grooven
here from Maitius. Good morning, dude. Actually, good afternoon to you. Uh, Robbie, I’m not sure
if we would even hear of any doping going on if it was like that. Yeah, you never know what’s going
on. Like, I look at it too, Robbie, and I’m the same as you. I’m kind of like, what’s going on?
Like, what’s going on? Is like it’s different. Uh, we discussed it yesterday, you know, the whole CO2
stuff, and I didn’t respond to whoever said it. So, I think it was Vizma using this CO2 technique,
whatever you guys want to call it. I think it’s basically they breathe CO2 a lot, which is
going to help them out when they’re oxygen deprived. They their bodies get used to it. Now,
has that been banned? Have they banned that? So, someone said it yesterday. I’d like to know if it
is banned. Uh Dream saying Bernal’s Turf France was a fluke similar to Septoosein. He went
on a break, then there was a landslide. Well, there was the landslide. That’s right. There was
the the road got washed out, so they they Yeah, they they stopped the race short. And at that
point, he already had a big break and probably a gap he could never get back. Robbie, I mean, do
you think it would become public if any caught, dude? Yeah, probably not. I mean, that’s been
going on forever. That’s been going on forever. uh way back with Lance basically they caught
him and then he gave a $100,000 donation to whoever does the testing maybe was the UCI.
I mean there’s so much stuff about I think his name was it Hines Ver was it Burber Bergen
or something like that. You guys know who I’m talking about. He was in bed with them all the
way. Just picked up Wheelman yesterday guys to read. Uh I guess that’s the most detailed look at
that whole stuff that was going on. Tony saying, “Just call me Mr. Google.” Yeah. Would they
say if someone was caught now like, “Oh, we just busted Colin. Uh, he’s he’s won seven
tour to Frances in a row. They don’t want me to be caught. It’s not good for the sport. So, what
do you do?” This is a good stat here, guys. Uh, and looking at the gap, still a fiveminute gap.
Most stage wins at Devalta Bergos history by competing teams. Movar, this makes sense to me. 25
wins. Estana in second, Inos Grenaders in seventh. It’s a cool little stat here. Uh Moistar team 57
seconds behind is Antonio Pedrero. It is crazy here, too. I think Moistar only has five riders
here. I talked about it before up here, guys. Look at the Movar team here. They only have five
riders listed out of seven that they’re sorry, six that are allowed. No, it is seven. These are seven
rider teams. They only have five riders. And then if we go back to the stat here on the page, look
on the left hand side of the screen. I’m trying to circle around. I will change I’ll get the mouse
fixed today, too, guys. I’m going to make that dark so you can’t miss it. GC positions for Movar
team. They only list five riders. So, they showed up with five. Uh, I guess it’s just on health,
fitness of other riders, other races. Yeah, guys, I love the chat right now. I love the chat right
now. Robbie, I love the questions, dude. I love this kind of stuff. Uh T Ruven here. Uh from what
Bisau did on the last climb yesterday, he should be able to do the same thing on tomorrow’s final
climb. Oh yeah, guys. Tomorrow’s final climb is kind of like uh dude. Na something. Na. N E I L
A. It’s a really good climb. Uh it’s kind of like uh I guess I well to Bergos. It’s a climb they use
all the time. It’s kind of like the defining climb of this this uh stage race here. Yeah, dude. I
hope to see that. I would love to see Bau win it. I mean, I I’ve only heard Bau’s name starting
in this race. I don’t know who he is. I have no idea who he is. I’m only learning about him now.
Leo Beso, should we have known about him? Now, okay, this is the dude I was just talking about
earlier. He wasn’t at the tour to France. I stared at that race every day. Guys, think about
that. Every day, four to five hours a day. That’s all I thought about. And then beforehand
and behind like later on in the day, every day I I did have two rest days. I took the rest days
off. Uh then we went straight to the fems. Uh took another day off and now we’re here. But you
know, so he didn’t have, you know, he had an okay season to start. 25th GC at Bass Country. Uh Tur
to Swiss 35th place. That’s good. Then he kind of had like a poor stretch here. Didn’t do that great
at the individual time trial French championships. didn’t finish the road race. So again, kind of
bummed out. Then he took all of July off from road racing. Just trained. His last race was
June 29th right before the tour. Comes back San Sebastian Classic, 14th place. A week
later, he’s leading the VA at Bergos. Dude, killing it. I love it. Absolutely love
it. Let me get in the chat, guys. Um 66.7 km to go. Still sitting at 5 minutes on
a flat section here now guys. Working our way through the valley system. I want to get back into
the chat. Um okay, I’m missed out this a bit here. Uh okay. So Inos and Total are part of the same
big international company conglomerates. Don, in the winter I used to play hockey on the lake
in my friend’s backyard. The ice was bumpy, but it was fun. Yeah, Don, New Jersey, right? Uh, a lot of those northern states
up there. Uh, will played hockey. Uh, Tonyy’s talking to Robbie here. Understood.
I have friends, conspiracy lovers, who think there are only four so large companies in the
world that own all the others. Well, I think there’s like three or four guys that, you know,
pretty much own the entire world moneywise. Uh, it was on TDF courage. explaining why Inos are
advertising Total Energies and they said it was because one owns the other which is okay dude I
do remember the true Robbie I remember them saying that they’ve entered the sponsorship together
but I at the time I have no idea what it meant Robbie if you’re a conspiracy theorist so am I
dude I’m I’m absolutely a conspiracy theorist uh out on course now guys it’s 32 degrees
Celsius that’s 90 Fahrenheit Robbie you’re part of the club here dude you are part of the
club yeah dude if let’s say okay Let’s just say, I’m not going to say names cuz I’ll get in
trouble somehow. If the world’s best cyclist, male or female, let’s just throw that
out there to make it even more confusing, uh, was tested for EPO, would it hit the news?
Would it hit the news? What would that do for cycling now at this point? Uh, and I think
cycling probably gets judged the hardest. Uh, in all all those other sports, too, is it’s
going on, guys. Uh, I’ve recently learned that it’s really bad in marathoning. Like really bad.
Uh, all these crazy records that are being set by uh and the females specifically right now. Like
wow. Unbelievable. Unbelievable record. Yeah, it’s unbelievable, guys. It’s unbelievable. If it
seems unbelievable, it’s probably unbelievable. Okay. Oh, yeah. I am in the long
sleeve jersey today, guys. So, this is my cranked long sleeve jersey here.
Uh, like I said, I went upstairs and it was like it was freezing outside this morning. So,
just actually seeing what I look like today. Uh, okay. So, we got the two last climbs
coming today. We got a climb at 121 km and the last climb comes at 151 km and then it’s a
downhill. So, the climb actually starts before that. The climb begins. And again, it’s one of
those goofy things, guys. It’s only rated at 7.6 6 km, but they’re probably climbing for
well over 10 km there. A little bit of couple of divots in the way to little trenches
they go down through, climb up to the top, and then they’re running 10 km to the finish.
Uh after they crest the Alto de Kadero. Uh let’s see, guys. I love the chat. I love you guys talking
here. Everyone’s chill here, guys. Uh, if anyone’s a conspiracy theorist, guys, I’ll put my hand up
right here. I will put my hand up right here. Just why not, right? It’s fun. Uh, Movie Star seems
like an underperforming team, but maybe their focus is smaller Spanish races and they don’t
care so much if they tank in the tour. Yeah, possibly. I mean, with only five riders here,
I’m not sure what their focus if they’re riding hard at Poland right now. I haven’t even looked at
the Poland standings, guys. Uh, just too busy with this right now. Yeah, Tony say no. Sorry, Rob.
I didn’t mean that about you, but you can say it about me, guys. You can say it about me. Um, yeah.
All good, guys. Yeah, guys, that’s the thing, too. When you read messages, and I know this for myself
from my experience, sometimes it doesn’t come out the right way. And you got to remember, too, let’s
always do benefit of the doubt in messaging, guys. The other dude probably doesn’t mean it the way
they’re saying it. It just kind of comes out, huh? And then, yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. Robbie, we’re all
good here, guys. Robbie, Tony, all good, guys. Uh, no worries. kind of misinterpreted me. Sometimes
I get this from Joy all the time. I’m like, she’ll say, “What do you think they meant by this?” I go,
“Who knows? It’s a text. It could mean anything.” Uh, Robbie saying, “I can’t I just I can’t see
past Del Toro or Chicone winning this tour.” Uh, right now I think Del Toro is 26 seconds back.
Chicone lost a good chunk of time on day one because of the Del Toro hand of God I’ve been
calling it. uh when he crashed, his hand went out, reached under Jacone’s bike, pulled it down. All
all accidental. But that’s my conspiracy theory. Oh, now we’re hearing it, guys. Decathlon pulling
in the pelaton. Guys, I got to see if I’m getting feed now here. Should be right away. And if
so, I will be going on a nature break. Oh, I’ve got feed, guys. Sorry. I do have feed. I’ve
been going on too long here. Um, come on. Just letting flow bikes reset. Okay, I should be able
to watch it now. Shaka, come on. Flow bikes. Now it’s hung up on me. Okay, do not do not vanish.
Do not vanish. Okay, I’m in, guys. I’m in. I’m in the race now. Going to blow this all up. Seven
riders at the front. Here is the uh Borro Hansgor. This is Ben Zuhoff at the front. This is the guy
that disappeared for 8 years. I made up this wild story that he went back to school uh and became
a astrophysicist looking at Egan Bernell right now riding comfortably in the Pelaton. Looks super
chill. Looks like the uh Pinterellas are on. They got a new paint scheme right now. I didn’t know
they were white with all these colors on them. Ah, okay. Ooh, looks like there’s an attack
going up the right hand side there. Looks like Egon. He’s Colombian, right? Igon Bernal
is Colombian. His forks are blue, yellow, red, which I think is the Colombian colors. Yeah,
Dathlon sitting on the front right now. Three or four of them at the front. And guys, it looks
sweltering. A lot of the jerseys are pulled wide open here. This would be so hard. We’re 55k to the
finish right now, guys. And beauty. Uh, beauty. E, do you guys know what that is? Beauty. E. Oo.
Yeah. Take a look at this, guys. that Pelaton just in the last few minutes here it’s gone from
5 minutes to 323 down. Uh Julian Bernard and the other dude the continental level rider
uh have been pulled back into the group. Okay. Just Yes, Robbie. I love it. Difference between conspurs and troop about 12 months.
Yep. Pretty much, dude. Pretty much. So yeah, I mean again too. Oh, what are they saying here? Wow,
weird stats here. This is not right at all. They’re saying Egon Bernal and
Garcia uh caught by the Pelaton. Well, I don’t see that because Egon Bernol was saying
Julian Bernard was caught by the Pelaton with Jose Maria Garcia because that’s the Continental
level rider we’re looking at right now. Okay, so some once in a while there’s weird stats kind
of like the Arctic race of Norway yesterday they were saying a continental level team rider
got second and I’m screaming saying no no no no two Israel premier techch riders got
first and second there uh in that sprint. Uh Tony’s not part of the club. He thinks some
people say he should be uh yeah I I get that from Joey too. Joey Jojo says I should be hit with the
club. Um, Robbie, is it not cold all year round in Canada? No, dude. No, it’s not. Uh, probably going
to be pretty nice today, I would assume. But, dude, it’s scary here. I mean, we’re in August.
We’ve had frost in August before. First frost can come in August. That’s a rarity, though. Um,
I do live at elevation. I’m around 1,000 meters, so it’s not crazy high. But, uh, if you were to
compare it to today, we’re riding through the mountains of Spain here. Generally, we’re around
1,000 mters in elevation all day. We climb up to 1300. So with elevation, temperature drops real
quick at night. The tinfoil hat club. Exactly. We can all be part of it, guys. The race is on like
Donkey Kong. Exactly. So they fixed it now in the feed here. You guys can see it on screen. Uh
Julian Bernard. It was not Egon Bernell. So again, just a little They’re getting time sheet checks.
Things get screwed up. That’s how the announcers actually know where the riders are. They can’t
see them half the time. I figured that out. Uh when I started doing the tour to France and I
was getting data from Bike Terra. Uh Tony C needed a coffee pot in the 10 x 10 cube and some depends
all day. Dude, I’m feeling you right now. You said the right uh nature break is imminent. Uh need a
coffee pot in the 10 x 10 cube of destruction and some depends all day YouTube channel party pants.
That’s how I’m feeling. Uh Robbie, I think they’ve got some temp in typing this stuff. Yeah, dude.
Exactly. I’m like, e Bernal. No, he was not up the road with uh Jose Maria Garcia. So, yeah, I’ I’ve
called that out twice now. Like, there’s no way. Uh yesterday it was at Tour of Norway, Arctic Race
of Norway. Corbin Strong came in. His lead out man got second place. Uh I think I said all five, and
it was hard to tell who was who because they’re all wearing rain jackets, but I did say all five
teams. The one rider I didn’t know, there was a continental rider that did come in fifth. Uh, so
hopefully I can get to that after this one. Again, I don’t have the stream set up at all today, guys.
So, it’s going to be kind of clunky to do that. Uh, Mexican O is in 1465. Which position is Del
Toro? Let me go, dude. My friend, he is in third place overall. 26 seconds down. Let me just light
that up for you here. Act, this is the actual GC, guys. Leo Bassau for Dathlon, first place.
22 seconds back, Julio Pelazari. Third place, UAE Team Emirates XRG, Isaac Del Toro, the
Mexican bowl here, guys. Uh, born in Ensanada, Baja, California, Pacific side. Love it. Never
been there, but man, it looks fantastic. I think it’s a big surf spot, too. So apparently he was
identified as a mountain biker and uh yeah here he is riding world tour. Uh not at Levalta guys.
Uh it’s going to be a Yuso and Almeida as the GC guys for UAE. That alone right there scares me.
So the gap did come down quite a bit. Uh it’s actually moved out a little bit again. Now
we’re back out to 3 minutes and 40 seconds. Yeah, Robert. Uh, Yu-hoser, dude. You got it,
dude. You got it. Take off. E. Oh, that was so goofy in the 80s. Here. Rick Morannis and uh Doug,
I think Doug Thomas, something like that. That was uh Bob and Doug McKenzie. Uh, the biological
passport and whereabouts programs seem to have cleaned up pro cycling. Reward doesn’t
outweigh risk like in the bad old days. Dude, yeah, Mexican Ozen 1465. No problem. Mexican Ozen,
where are you? I’m assuming you’re from Mexico. Where do you live in Mexico? Let us know,
dude. I’m dreaming here. Uh, tomorrow is a killer stage. Things will change in the GC.
Yeah, tomorrow’s tough with that final climb, guys. Tomorrow. Um, it’s an HC or sometimes they
in Spain they’ll call it an ESP and a special, a special sage. I think that’s how they do it. Seven
riders, 3 minutes 36 seconds. Coffee almost done. Uh, how much time do we have left today, guys? Oh
god, we still got 50k. Mexican Ozen 14665. Dude, thank you so much, dude. I got the little sticker
coming in for Mexican Ozen here. Dude, let us know where you’re from, man. I like to know where
everyone’s from. I like to get little details on people. 60 people watching now, guys. Thank
you for your support of the channel, dude. Uh, wherever you’re from, I’ll be going down to Los
Cabos area. Oh, dude, Mexican Ozen is in Japan. So, dude, it’s What time at night is it? It’s like
midnight for you, isn’t it? Yes. Sheila and a beer in a tree. That’s right. The 12 Days of Christmas
by Bob and Doug McKenzie. How insane was that, guys? One of the greatest shows of all time.
Now, it’s dated. I get it. I’ve talked about this in another stream. Go back and look up
SCTV on YouTube. Some of you may never heard of it. SCTV was actually a comedy troop, I guess you
would call it. I think it was out of Chicago. So, it’s kind of like the proving grounds for young
comedians. And I think they all went there. A lot of them went to SCTV in Chicago. That was like the
live the live act. Uh Canadian television would have been late7s, very early 80s. They made a TV
version of it here in Canada, SCV. Go back and take a look at all the stars that were on the
show. Every single person on that show became TV/mov star and they’re still around. Uh Sheila
Entrud Mexican Oen, thank you so much again. Uh Tony C, thinking breakaway stage today. Those last
couple of bumps in the seem the best time to go. Yeah, dude. I think this could be a breakaway.
Total breakaway. We’re not seeing a sprint stage here. That last climb is really tough. It’s only a
category three, but it’s longer than what they’re showing. The profile there. How was the best way
to do this? Uh guys, I’ll take you back here for a second. This is from Duela Ebergo’s website.
Here’s our last climb of day. Let’s talk about this again. Talked about earlier today. Look
between kilometers 4 and km 6 out of the 7.7 km climb. Generally, it averages downhill. It’s
-1 to – 5%. Take those out. Take those out. So then you’re going to see that average gradient
of 3.3 probably ramp up to 6%. Over 2 km less. So 5.7 km at 6% is what I would say it would be.
This downhill is very deceptive. But uh yeah, it’s going to be a good launch point there. They should
be trying to bomb downhill like crazy and get over that last bump and just race for the finish. It’s
only 10 km time trial to the finish at that point. Uh yeah, Second City TV. Exactly. So there was a
show every week in Canada and it was crazy too. They even had music stars. Like they had uh oh,
what’s his name? The David Burn group. Who’s David Burn? You know that guy? Um the Talking Heads.
The Talking Heads were on there. The Pretenders were on there. So, uh, guys that were on SCTV,
John Candy, Kathleen O’Hara, uh, the guy with the eyebrows, Eugene Levy, uh, the Ed Grim character
off Ed Grimley character on Saturday Night Live, Martin Short, Bob and Doug McKenzie, uh, there’s
another awesome female comedian on there. Oh, you guys don’t know. I can’t remember right now. Okay.
Uh, the latest athlete that was banned for doping was a Canyon woman half marathoner who broke the
world record one year ago by two minutes. That’s from Dream. Most hyper. I actually saw one just
a few days ago. Uh, it was during the tour to France. Some of you may have been there. Someone
was talking about how elite the Canyon the Canyon and Air Tree runners are. It popped up on YouTube
that day. Uh, just showing a profile and it’s like a huge drop. Okay. So I can see at the beginning
if you compare any sport go back and look at the men’s 100 meter in 1900 it was slow. So there are
going to be big jumps down but after a while it has to start leveling out. This last jump was so
ridiculous. Uh yeah and busted. Uh that female runner I don’t know who she is and I thought
it was full marathon. I think it was like a 208 marathon or something crazy like that. uh busted
for masking agents. There’s a weird drug. I don’t know if it’s I can’t remember if it’s a diuretic
or antidiuretic. And what it does is basically hides everything that should be coming out of you.
Just hides it all. And there’s really no reason to be on that drug under any circumstance as a young
athlete. So, they’re still doing it. They’re just hiding it. They’re masking it. Uh but cycling
gets so much exposure because of Lance Armstrong. Like everyone I Lance Armstrong still has to
be one of the most recognized athletes in the world. I bet you if you took a picture up if you
went to any country in the world, Canada, US, Mexico, South America, Europe, Africa, anywhere
in Asia, Australia, and you showed a picture of Lance Armstrong on his bike, and you showed
a picture of the world’s best, I don’t know, uh, runner, the world’s best runner to Kenya. I
would have no clue who she is. or the world’s best male marathon. I have no I have no idea who that
is, but people know who Lance Armstrong is. So all that focus on cycling, everyone does it. Yeah,
at one point almost everyone did do it. And so now that legacy just continues. Uh the break is on
the climb now. 5.3 km at 3.8%. I did look at that climb earlier. That seems pretty legit to me. That
gradient is good. There’s not any hidden gradients in there, guys. I just look at these gradients
really hard because when I do my rides inside, I’m like, is it really that gradient? So, it’ll say 20
km at 5%. What you don’t realize, the first 20 10 km is flat, and then you find out the last 10 km
is 10%. That’s that’s a totally different thing. 20 at 5% is totally different than 10 at 10%.
So, I look at the routes beforehand. I go, “Oh, okay. Yeah, I got it figured out.” Uh, nothing
better than comedians earning their chomps when young golden age comedy back when Silent Life was
funny. Yeah. And a lot of those SCT TV characters went straight to Silent Night Live like Martin
Short did. I think Rick Morannis did. Uh, one of the Ghostbuster guys. So, not that you I can’t
even remember the Ghostbuster guys right now. Uh, Harold Ramos. I think Harold Ramos went from SCTV
straight to Saturday Night Live. Kathleen O’Hara, she’s still in shows. What was the Canadian show?
Uh, Shitz Creek. You guys haven’t seen that. That show won so many awards and that show is very
weird for a Canadian show to do well in the States. That show kills it down there. Uh, Eugene
Levy is still there. He’s the main character in that show. Yep. Dream here. Yeah. A full marathon
masking agents. That’s what they’re doing now, guys. They’re still doing it. So, I’ve just
got to say if they’re doing it in running, are they doing it in other endurance sports? Oh,
I like this here. Which rider has accumulated the most bonification seconds? Roger Hajger. That
would have been stage one. Matteo Moscetti in the sprint. Leo Beso as well. So, that’s 10 seconds
each for winning the stages. That’s how they would have got that. Stage one winner, stage two winner,
and stage three winner. 3 minutes 44 seconds, guys. Loving the chat today, guys. Uh yeah, Larry
Warboss, 35 years old, from Michigan. I barely heard of him. I I’ve heard of the name a lot over
the years. Let’s take a look at Larry right now. I just don’t know a lot about him. So, I think I
know Larry Warboss more as the BMC racing guy. So, he went to IM Cycling. That team wasn’t around
long. Dropped down to continental level here for Aqua Blue Sport. I think that was an Irish team.
Let’s take a look. Aqua Blue Sport is gone. Uh, so it’s looking like they would have been 2018
here. Uh, most famous guy you’re going to see here. I’ve already spotted him here. Check this
dude out. Are you guys familiar with this person? You should be. Uh, if you watch anything on
YouTube, you should know this person. Uh, he’s on screen right now. He’s actually 33 now. Irish
rider. I’m positive the team was Irish. So, here’s Connor Dunn, GCN host. So he rode Continental,
went to Aqua Blue Sport, which was uh PCT back then. Pro Series, biggest race for him or Okay. Uh
oh yeah, he did Unbound. That’s right. He did that a couple years back. But yeah, so that was Aqua
Blue Sport. So Larry Warbass was there as well. Okay. Seven riders up front, 336 guys. Uh,
okay. So, Dream’s got the name here. Yeah. So, you know, she’s getting all the praise. Why?
Incredible. She broke the record. Incredible. Incredible. And all the commentators going on
about it. He is cheating. But the reality is, they probably all are. It just I would never have
known her name. I couldn’t tell you the second name. I couldn’t tell you the I couldn’t name one
super good runner right now. I just couldn’t. Um, there was a year at the tour to France where
five to six teams got busted for doping. They almost all cancelled. Yeah. Fina started and Dawn
throughout the rest of that tour, the heat was on so bad. I believe it was that year. I think it was
1998. Four or five other teams just pulled out. They just magically were not racing anymore. And
I think they were p primarily Spanish teams where at that point like the drug use was just insane.
Yeah. I think it was 1998. Love him or hate him, Lance was a force for good and bad, but brought
a lot of US fans. It’s like exactly for all the bad he did, he did so much good. All the
money he raised, the awareness for cycling, uh the awareness for cancer. Uh yeah, Dawn here.
Shitz Creek and Kim’s Convenience are a couple of really good shows that came out of CBC. Exactly.
Uh I’ll throw Corner Gas in there as well. That one’s long gone, but that was a great show. Uh
basically showing what life is like in southern Saskatchewan, guys. If you’ve never been there,
it’s the prairies at its best. Small town living. I always find it funny when I see things in the
mates. This tiny tiny town located somewhere in Tennessee 8,000 people. I’m like, that’s a
big town to me. That’s a big town. Uh that’s not a small town. or it’ll be a small town of
38,000 people. No, that’s big. Uh, Diddsbury, where I’m at every day, where Joey works, I think
it’s 3,000 people. Lynon over here is probably, I don’t know, 7800. Very small. I think Don
seen some of my exploration videos where I go explore parts of the countryside around
here where there were towns at one point and they’re gone now. Kind of like my ghost town
hunt. I’m going to do more of those videos. Robert 1988 with Willie vote and a car full
of dope. That’s right. That’s how they busted him. The car was full of drugs. Reese had won
dirty in 96 from East Germany 97. Lance in9. They should have cancelled 98. Pontani yellow
Bobby. Yeah, guys. Outside of a couple riders, you can look the dudes up. One guy wrote a
book about it. How he was basically bullied out of the tour to France by primarily Lance and
his cronies every time he’d speak about doping. That’s the part that irritates me about Lance.
The other guys would just say, “You got me. I’ll take my two-year ban or my one-year ban, and
I won’t fight it.” Uh 3 minutes 36 seconds, guys. On the climb right now. Let’s take a
look at the detail profile. Uh you can see the locations while you guys are chatting here.
Oh, massage creams. I love it, guys. Nature break. And we’re back, riders. We are back. Okay,
watching the screen right now. Nice group Pelaton here. One rider slowly riding out the
front um Museette bag pickup. They’re picking up the Museette bags right now in the Pelaton.
We still have our front group of seven riders. 3 minutes and 34 seconds. They’re almost at the top.
These guys are going to launch it hard here over the top of this climb and they’re going to gain
probably significant time. Uh really nice mix, right? Portuguese rider, German rider, Spanish,
Italian, uh a second Portuguese rider, and Damiano Keruso, sorry, Ruy Costa. Damiano is Italian,
Canadian, and one American. Okay. Uh guys, I love the chat. Love it right now. You guys are
keeping this going good. Uh Dream, but last year both number one tennis player women and men were
banned for illegal substances for one month and 6 months. EGA see I don’t know that name and Yanuk
don’t know that name but if you showed a picture of Lance Armstrong everyone knows eagga for
sleeping pills that have some banned drugs. The prince 1976 the break will be caught on the on the
last cat climb. Most likely, dude. Most likely, but let’s pray they get away. Uh Yanick was banned
with massage cream. They reasoned contamination. Yeah, that’s what they all say, right? That’s what
they all So, the gap right now is 334. Let’s see how much it grows here. Uh when they start bombing
down the hill. Go back up to the profile here. Uh what is it that even Chris Froom uh he had a
tue therapeutic therapeutic usage exemption. So he was taking clenbuterol which is a drug for asthma.
I’m kind of like I get it. I get it. And I’m not saying people with asthma shouldn’t compete in
sports but if you need to use an illegal drug to compete maybe you shouldn’t be competing. Uh
because there are benefits to it. It’s not like, okay, I’m at a disadvantage, so I get to use it to
get back on par. I think you’re going to go past that. And I forget what clenbuterol did. I think
it was a weight loss drug. The benefits of it were one for asthma. Uh I think that’s what it’s for.
And it enhanced weight loss without muscle loss. So, it’s kind like, yeah, this is everything
I want. I want to keep all the muscle I have and I want to lose as much weight as possible.
So, I don’t think those would be allowed either. Yeah, they and that’s the thing. They can
always say contamination. Uh Dathlon still driving the front here, guys. A lot of Astana
riders lurking too. A couple UAE riders here. A stand is lurking on the far right. They are on
the climb. They’re trying to get up over the top right now. 40.3 40.1 there. That’s from the front
group. So, we should see this open up pretty good now. These guys are going to get hopes they
can get away. I think they’re going to push hard over this next little bump. Then they’re
going to be down in the valley system again. Then the climb starts and as uh the prince
1976 starts they’ll probably be caught on this climb. Same thing that happened yesterday.
They had a big lead and it all just dissolved. So Decathlon’s going to have to start working
now. Let’s look at the virtual GC. Uh virtual GC. Okay. So they’re still saying who would have
been up front. Uh that’s right because everyone up front best place rider is 526 down. That’s
like three and a half minutes. Oh, sorry. Yeah, that’s quite a ways down. That rider would
still be 2 minutes behind overall in the in the GC if they ended the race right now. So,
the best place rider is 526 down on Bau. He’s got a 3 minutes and 30 second lead, roughly
2 minutes gap. Uh, so quite a ways back. Uh, yeah. Yeah, Tom Bonan did it right. got busted
for recreational contain disco Tom. I think Yan did that too. I think Yan got busted several
times for recreational partying at the disco wrapping his Porsche around light poles and things
like that. Uh the most recent famous athlete is Simona Halip. I don’t see and again I don’t know
who that is. I think most people if you said Lance if you said the name Lance Armstrong anywhere
they’d be like oh yeah that dude the cyclist. That’s how big Lance was at the time. And that’s
how much attention there was on the tour to France. And again, for good and bad, Lance should
have just gone quiet and we wouldn’t have had all this pressure. Uh we’ve got a rider here. This
a Bergos BH rider. Looks like he’s had an issue here. Uh that would be in the main Pelaton, I
believe. Dathlon rider falling out the back here, too. So, even on this first climb, guys,
it’s blowing the Pelaton apart right now with the pace that Decathlon’s putting at
the front. Yeah, Pelaton’s moving good now, guys. They got 38.2 km to go there. Front end of
the group says it’s 38 kilometers roughly. Going to get that all figured out here pretty quick.
It’s uh 3 minutes and 23 second gap right now. Okay, so that was the Vestier. Okay, guys. Loving it. Conspiracy corner.
Conspiracy corner worth calling, guys. Oh, wow. So much stuff. Yeah. So, Simone, I don’t
nature break on a cat recline. That’s great. Colin. Yeah, dude. I thought I could do it. The
big climb’s coming up. And good thing is puppy looked up at me. He hasn’t chewed anything. He’s
just sleeping where he sleeps at night. And he went right back to sleep again. Oh, dude. Maurice
Sukowski. Maurice Sukowski. Dude, your name looks similar to someone that’s in the breakaway. Your
name looks familiar. Dude, I would love to know that you are related to Nicholas Sukowski. Dude,
if you are related to Nicholas Tuscowski, dude, I would just absolutely lose my mind. Please let
me know. Uh, no moves from the favorite. Not yet. No moves from the 3 minutes and 20 second gap.
So, guys, uh, Maurice Sukowski is here. Lurker. Welcome aboard, Maurice. I have a lot of lurkers
that show up. Uh Maurice channel’s been going for two and a half years, two years, three months,
something like that. Uh I had a massive tour to France thanks to my community here in the chat. Uh
so much cycling knowledge here, cycling history, cycling conspiracy club, guys. I’m all I’m okay
with conspiracy. If you guys want to talk about it, that’s fine with me. Uh I don’t hate those
guys for it. Not at all. Still my stars, my you know, I look up to them. But Maurice here, I hope
they get away. Just drops that right there. And then I’m looking at the screen going, “Nicholas
Zubowski.” Zukowski. Zukowski. Not a common name either, dude. I know that’s who you are. It’s
Nicholas’s dad. That’s who it is. Uncle 49 watching, guys. Uh I think yesterday we got over
100 at one point. Uh Robert, when I was racing, I would have tested positive for strong coffee
and bong hits. Yeah. Uh well, guys, even back in the 80s, they were regulating how much coffee
they could drink. I remember that distinctly from all my old cycling magazines. They would drink
just a very very small coffee because caffeine is uh an endurance sport enhancer. Okay, there it
is. Now, there was a mechanical problem for Daniel Cavia uh Burgos BH Daniel Cavia. That name is
really familiar. That’s a dude that bridged across I think yesterday. I think he bridged across
yesterday into the break and they all got caught. So, he had a mechanical. I saw that on the video
here. Uh, this is the front group. They’re already climbing this next little bump in the road that
has zero categorization. Looks like a small little climb, but still 3 4% I would guess from what
I’m seeing on the camera here. Uh, Curtis ODM, dude, where you from? Uh, Isaac Del Toro came out
of the Auto Tech Cycling Club. Dude, I love this information, guys. I guarantee you right now,
outside of like this Curtis ODM dude here, we would never have found that. Uh, and what I love
about the community too is that there’s no there’s no commentator doing this pro level that’s telling
you this information. So, Curtis ODM, dude, you are the winner today. Isaac Del Toro came out
of the Auto Tech Cycling Club in Ensanata, Mexico, 70 m 5 miles south of San Diego, USA. Coached
mostly by Ricky Cruz and his son Freddy Cruz. So, dude, Curtis, so someone earlier said that he
was a mountain biker. So, was Isaac Del Toro just mountain bike racing all over Northern Baja,
Southern California? How did he get spotted? Like, I just can’t. Yeah, it’s hard to realize how
these guys get found. Like, I mean, I don’t know, maybe you’re from there and maybe you know better
than me, but like I would tell people Calgary is not a hot spot for cycling. I would think that the
Baja is not a hot spot for cycling. If you said, “Oh, I’m from Spain.” I’d be like, “Oh, cycling.”
I guess that’s what I’m trying to get. Yeah, Froom is so skinny, dude. Uh, Froom is racing. I think
Froom’s at the Tour of Poland. I’m pretty sure he is. He’s 40 years old. Okay, Dream, that asthma
drug has also been used in tennis. I think it has an amphetamine in it. Yeah, there’s all these
weird side effects. We’ve seen a replay here. What’s going on? EF car here. Catching up with an
EF rider. Who is this? This would be probably Ruy Costa. So, getting a bottle sticky gel might Oh,
it was a sticky ice pack. All these things are sticky, guys. These these bottles, gels, and ice
packs, they’re very sticky for some reason. Double bottles. Oh, yeah. You can see the tires that
the car was kicking up dirt on the side of the road cuz he was accelerating so hard. They got him
on the back here. He’s getting He’s just getting resupplied. I’m okay with that one. Uh, yeah. All
these drugs that do this also have side effects. That’s how much they’re studying them. Like when
you think about it, it’s so deliberate. Okay, what can we take I guess you know me and Joey
watch a lot of crime. It’s not like, and guys, I’m not promoting this or anything. It’s not like,
oh, I don’t know, someone breaks into your house, you have a gun, you shoot them, you kill the
person. I don’t know what you’d be charged with, but you know, it’s not on purpose. It wasn’t
premeditated. I guess premeditated crimes to me are always worse. And of that’s how the courts
look them too. If you’re going to be taking a drug for a fake illness, dude, you’re shady. Very
shady. They I think all these pro aletes have asthma now. Uh Robbie, what do folks think of
Froom using tablets for bizaria disease? Them tablets create a lot more red blood cells. When
you said you can’t use them more, his form went to crap. Dude, I didn’t know about that. So, Froom
had his crash, I think, in 2018 and then he’s kind of vanished. So, I’d love to get some dates on
that, Robbie. Uh, is that when that happened, too? Yeah, guys. So, basically, you got like
fake EPO. It’s like an apo side effect drug essentially. That’s what EPO did. It generates
more red blood cells in your body. Kind of the same as old school blood doping. And they did
that. Once the EPO test came along in ‘989, they stopped EPO for a while. Uh they went back
to old school blood doping. Let’s get some frozen blood or refrigerated blood and uh pump it back
in our bodies. Like it’s crazy the stuff they did. Okay. Uh watching this here guys.
I just got to back up a bit. Okay. So that was a cool one for Robbie and
then they said it went down to an accident nobody witnessed. Okay. So Robbie’s on the thing
that it could have been. I don’t even know what Bizaria is. I’m going to look that up, too. Thanks
for that, Robbie. Yep. Dream, huh? Remember Ben Johnson 100 meter sprint. Yep, I do remember
him. Canadian. I think he was from the Bahamas originally. Yeah, the UCI needs to step up and
get rid of any doubts in the public’s minds. Yeah, like what kills me right now, my big issue with
cycling is when people say this is an unbelievable performance. Yeah. Is it? Is it? or my defense of
anyone that’s absolutely unbelievable right now is maybe their V2 max is uh like off the charts.
That’s my only defense I have for them. I don’t believe it’s how they eat their shreddies in the
morning or how they tie their shoelaces. Okay, puppy’s crying. I’m going to have to let him
upstairs here for Maurice Sukowski. Oh, dude, this is so awesome. Here I was talking about
him earlier today. Your son I don’t even need to look. Your son is 27 years old. Let’s take a
look right now. Boom. Just called it, dude. Uh, and I said earlier today, St. Lucy Dez Laurentines
from Quebec, 27 years old, riding for Q36 Pro Cycling Team. Dude, I love it. Absolutely love it.
So, looking at Nicholas Zukowski here and dude, your son gets a shout out, dude. Uh, total shout
out. I’ve already looked at him today. I was like, “Wow, look at this Canadian dude here.”
Dude, I’m out in Alberta. Uh, tall dude, too. Guys, give me a break. Puppy is
losing his mind. He’s got to go upstairs. Okay, buddy. Come on. We’re going to let
you upstairs. Go upstairs. Go look around. Okay, dude. I love this. This is the best part of
my day right here. Uh Moraurice Sukowski. Uh yeah, Robbie, they do need to get things straightened
out. Just going to watch the race here. We’ve got Nicholas on board. Let me just jump back for one
second here. I need to check stats. 3 minutes and 28 seconds. They’re launching down to the valley
now. Really didn’t open up anything. But back to Nicholaski. I did see him earlier today. Maurice,
I hope you saw that. So, this is his dad. Um, I’m his dad. And then, oh, he says what after
that. I’m not sure what he said there, but yeah, dude. Just when I saw your name, I’m like, that’s
not a very common name. So Nicholas Sukowski here guys uh rode for silver pro cycling which I don’t
know Floyd’s pro cycling. So that must have been the Floyd Landis team at one point. Then he went
to Rally. Those guys always rode in orange. I think they’re still around. Human powered health.
I just watched them at the tour to France femic Swift the women’s team and has been for Q36.5 for
the last well he’s been there for two years at moment. 23 24 and 25. Three years uh up to 2027.
Wow. Awesome stuff here for this dude. Well, uh, DNFED the Jirro 21st at the Siruito de GO last
weekend, guys. Got UCI points out of that. Uh, wow. This is awesome, dude. Awesome stuff.
Lege Baston Lege DNF Laf Flesh. Uh, Amstel, that’s cool. Milan Sanreo, 71st place.
Milano Torino, that’s an old race as well, guys. That’s a super old race. Toreno Adriatico
got to stage seven. I think that’s the last stage too. Uh Strata Bianca DNF, but man has had
a huge season here. 44th at the Lula Tour, 42nd at Andaloosa. Wow, that’s awesome, dude. So
awesome watching your son race here. Uh Rusticles Rick was my hero back in the day. Then he turns
out to be a massive coke fiend. Yeah, dude. I loved him, too. I love seeing Rick time trial.
go back and take a look like his telecom days, stuff like that. His positioning on his time trial
bike, like his hands are pointing downwards. His front end was so low. Uh he’s the one guy that
could spank Lance at the time trial on a good day if he didn’t crash. Rua just sitting a little bit
back off the group of these seven riders up front. Uh, so yeah, Maurice here again. This is
Nicholas’s dad here. Listening to your channel, watching live on Flow Bikes at the same time
from Tucson. Cheers everyone. Maurice, dude, thanks for stopping in. Say hi to your son for me.
I’d love to chat with him. I’d love to actually do an interview with a guy riding with the World Tour
Pros. So, if there’s any chance, let him know. Uh, Don’s got the Arabica beans running through his
veins. Poor Ben Johnson had the yellow eyes. Yes, dude. Dude, he was the big That was 1988. Okay,
but here’s the thing. Ben Johnson done. What about Carl Lewis? What about Carl Lewis? Was he
clean? I don’t know if he’s been caught or not. I don’t even know if Carl Lewis is still around
anymore, but all of those athletes back there, remember, what was her name? Flojo. Was
it Flojo? The one that wore all the weird leotards and the weird fingernails,
fully busted. I think she passed away. Uh there was that other couple. There was
another really good track sprinter for the US. Her husband was a shop puddter.
They both got busted years later. Dawn likes the coffee black, no sugar. Oh, I’m
full sugar, full cream. I have been a member of the Auto Tech Club since the early 80s. Isaac’s
father Joe sent Isaac and his brother Anel to youth cycling supporter Chon and Tijana. So there
is a good cycling scene there. and Sonata. Dude, there’d have to be really good climbs there, too.
I would imagine there’s really good climbs there. Uh, so dude, you know, Curtis here, speaking to
him directly. I’m a Canadian. My only exposure to Mexico is like my touristy trips, so you
know, Maz uh Mazatan and I love Los Cabos, though. I’ve been to Porta. Um, but there probably
good climbing there, too. Actually, Phil Gin lives in uh Riviera Nayarit. So, he’s on the new part
where the northern part of Porttoarda. I spent a month by myself in Porttoarda living up in the
hills kind of I guess kind of like a local. I wasn’t a tourist. I was a tourist, but I wasn’t.
I’d walk downtown every day and get food. Uh try to find my way around. That was such a good time.
But I would imagine there’s really good hill climb training in Ensanatada. That’s my guess. Troy Chon
and T1 sent the boys to the cruise family of auto techch. Okay, gotcha, dude. I’m gonna have to look
up the auto tech uh cycling club here later. Dawn is saying, “I heard that Wanaos V2 max is higher
than Tatty’s.” Really? So, that’s when I see people with unbelievable performances, there’s
got to be something else going on there. Like, you know, I think uh Greg Lemon’s V2 Max was 93.
I heard Jonathan Ba was like 92. Lances was what they say low 80s which probably meant 81 or 80.1
you know like nowhere near those guys. The world record was for some crosscountry skier. There was
a cycling kid from Norway that had right around 100 as well. What if Tatty’s is like 130? Here’s
my next question. If it is, should he be allowed to compete? That’s my question. If he’s that much
outside the norms, it’s kind of like it’s almost unfair at that point. Uh, agree UCI should better
publicize how their bio passport system works. If it’s working, brag about it. I guess the thing,
yeah, they’ve got the bio passport. It’s can they detect all the masking agents. So these there’s
people out there, you know, it’s probably huge in marathoning. They have teams of doctors out
there testing which drugs can be found in the bio passport. They I’m I’m assuming runners have a bio
passport as well. 26.4 km to go right now guys. Uh 3 minutes and 28 seconds back. I’m looking
at the detailed view here. We’re essentially starting to climb now. So instead of it being a
7 km climb, it’s more like uphill for 17 km here. Front group of seven had been away since I think
the very beginning of the day. Didn’t see the exact start of the race, guys. Um, I was online,
but I think I was getting things set up here. Uh, oh, Dawn, I have the coffee. Lindsart
cookies, those ones with the jam in the middle and coconut water this morning, dude. Uh, straight
on coffee. I had some banana bread. Mexicana, uh, Isaac as a kid raced mountain bike competitions
and cyclacross. All these in Ensanata and Tijuana. See, dude, I never would have known that. I never
would have known that. I wouldn’t have thought, oh yeah, cyclcross racing is big in Tijana and I
just wouldn’t have thought that from the sounds of it. Like I don’t know of one cyclacross
event. Actually I do. There was a cyclacross event up in Red Deer uh a couple winters back.
Red Deer is a town about 45 minutes up the road from me. So apparently there’s cyclacross
and mountain bike in Tijana and Sonata. I I would instantly think mountain bike there,
but just not cyclross, but that makes sense. Uh from there, the director of recycling of the
state invited to be part of the state team. Okay, Maurice. Oh jeez. Here, look at this, man. See,
this is what the chat does for you guys. Uh and I’m just going to say it again. Colin’s little
independent channel. There’s not a commentator out there working for the big guys saying that
Maurice, sorry, that Nicholas Sukowski broke his collarbone in a crash at stage 4 of the Jirro this
year. We found out from his dad right here. So, he broke his collar bone way back in May. Uh, so he’s
been recovering the whole time. I’m going to look at Nicholas again here, guys. Just bear with me.
Uh, so yeah, he would have been out on May 13th, and then he just basically was recovering for all
of June, all of July, and we’re into August. So, basically 3 months to get back racing.
Obviously, he was training probably a few weeks after. Takes a while to come back, guys.
hard to come back from these accidents. Uh, okay. Broke his call. Okay. Tony C. Nice thing
about the tin foil club is that you can be a member for life. Always. Exactly, dude. Exactly.
24 and a half kilometers, guys. 318 down. Flojo retires next year when testing became strict.
Yeah. And she dominated dominated all like the 100, the 200 meters. That’s what I remember as I
do love watching track and field. Do you guys know that on flow sports you can get track and field?
There’s other sports. Uh Mexico and I’m from Los Cava. Still have a house there up by PBlo Bonito.
Oh, really dude? So PBlo Bonito uh PBlo Bonito is well they have a few resorts that don’t they have
PBlo Pacificico. They have PB or Rose I think they call it. Uh so when you say Bonito I think that’s
the one. So is that Cabo San Lucas then? Yeah, it must be some of these chains, guys, will have
like four and five named hotels in one area. Uh, and I’ve been to Pueblo, Bonito, I think
the Pacific one that’s on the other side of Pedreal. Uh, Los Cabos, guys, is the
greater area there on the tip of the Baja uh, Baja California. Uh, it includes San Jose
del Cabo, the whole area in between the corridor and Cabo San Lucas where the world famous arches
are. Marian Jones admitted to open. That’s right. Uh and again she dominated women’s track and
field. Like unbelievable performances. Like this is incredible, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s incredible. Uh
almost all track world record has been broken in women except one two 48 set by Flojo. And that
East German athlete. Yeah, I saw her too. That that record by the East German woman. Um yeah,
guys, look it up. I think it’s one of the oldest standing Olympic records. like she was so juiced
to the gills. Her musculature um yeah was insane. Okay. Uh 3 minutes 20 seconds here guys. They
are climbing now. Uh Decathlon on the front. Driving hard guys. Driving hard for Decathlon
here. 23.3 km over there. I’m going to start keeping a better eye on the video now guys.
I’m just mostly following the data feed here. Okay. Great stuff from Maurice here, folks. I
can tell you these riders now get random testing wherever they are in the world. They knocked
on our door twice in one week to test Nick when he was on vacation here. That’s awesome to
know because see that’s one of the stuff I want to know. Like like as fans, we don’t get to know
that. We don’t know how much they’re being tested. So, uh sounds like Nick was on vacation with his
parents in Tucson. So, here’s my story. Maurice has a place. Luckily, he’s he’s got a nice uh
place he probably gets to wait to every winter. They’re from Quebec. gets cold and super snowy in
Quebec in the winter time, guys. Uh, Quebec may not be, sorry, southern Quebec may not be as cold
as say Alberta, Saskatchewan, but they get like 10 times the snow. Uh, I love Quebec, dude. I’ve been
to Quebec City a few times in my younger years, Montreal quite a few times. Yeah, great culture.
So, they do get tested, guys. So, Nick’s getting tested. He’s on Q36.5. He got tested in twice in
one week. uh looking to test Nick whilst he was on vacation there in Tucson. So that’s that’s
great to know. Yeah, bio password looks for abnormalities and markers, not so much detecting
drugs. In theory, if masking is happening, it should show up somewhere. Yeah, dude. That’s
the thing. Even the masking agents will show up. That’s how they are getting caught. Like why are
you taking this? Why are you taking this drug that has the benefit of masking other things? Then
they’re going to start looking closer at you. Uh, oh, Tony here watched Mickey Rivers
center field for New York Yankees. Okay, I know nothing about baseball. He was so hyper
all game. Jumped up and down. Confess he’s on amphetamines the whole time. No surprise.
This is where the stage begin. Exactly, Robbie. The stage begins right here. I’m
cheering for the breakaway all the way, guys. I know there’s probably a 95% chance
they will be brought back, but I will cheer the breakaway every day. This is where full
bias calling kicks in. 21.8 km to go right now. Uh out on the stage, guys, temperatures are
hovering anywhere from 27 degrees earlier on in the day. Uh right now, we’re in the 32 degree
range. That’s 90° Fahrenheit. So, that’s 90° Frenheit. You’re probably from a part of the world
where you think, “Why is not that bad?” Yeah, but you’re not burning 1,000 calories an hour,
trying to consume 100 grams of carbs per hour, drinking three bottles an hour, holding off for
dear life, up and down climbs. Uh who’s the UAE writer there? Oh. Uh, Ruie Olivera. Yeah, just
see Ruie Olivera pushing uh one of the riders just ahead of him here. Actually, I think he was just
giving uh Nick Sukowski there a little push like, “Hey, man, go ahead of me.” Yeah, it is. So,
the Q365 jersey, guys, is mostly black here, white arms. Uh, again, hard to tell. The entire
Decathlon team at the front here. Six riders here uh and the leader Leo Bassau. Sudal rider
back at the car getting lots of guys taking on ice packs guys. Jamming ice packs in. Uh leader
of the race Leo Bassau is in the purple jersey. Purple is the color of the entire Walt Iberos
race here. They don’t have a polka dot jersey though. They have a climbers jersey but it’s not a
polka dots. They kind of changed that up a little bit. Here we go. Exactly. Tony, keep in mind Lance
pass hunter test. Not suggesting that Nicholas is doing anything. Um, but if you have the power
of Lance, you get random testing. Yeah, guys, it’s all just random testing. And yeah, I think
that they should be tested a lot just to keep things on the up and up. I think all sports should
be. So, it’s good to know uh for Maurice that they are doing the random test because we just hear
they’re doing it, but really are they? Like, you know, because people will say, “Well, I’ve
been tested all over the world.” Yes. So, they’re finding this dude. He’s on vacation. He’s racing
in Europe. They He’s vacationing in Arizona. Uh probably visiting his parents, and they show up
to test them. So, that’s really good to know. Uh okay. Okay, so Morris Singer, they log in their
whereabouts 24/7 so you can get randoms anywhere, anytime. The risks are too high to cheat. I
can tell you many pro cyclists today are clean training, nutrition, dead tech. Yeah, things
have really changed since the Lance era. Guys, I’ve said it over before, you know, like
everything like take a look at the gear they’re wearing now to the gear they were 30 years ago.
Like those flapping jerseys probably like over 200k probably cost them a minute, a minute and a
half. Uh if if hair on your legs costs, you know, 30 seconds over 100k, whatever it is, those
jerseys were horrendous. Uh helmets are more uh arrow now. The bikes are all arrow now.
Number 41 there. Just trying to see who that was. Dathl on the front. Uno X is making
its presence known now. Tudor over on the left hand side of the road. And team PY visit
Malta rocking it on the right hand side. Guys, everyone’s getting heated up to do this climb.
Everyone’s getting heated up to do this climb right now. Uh it’s time to bring the breakaway
back. I’m cheering for the breakaway still. Yeah. So, so awesome. Here we’ve got Moraurice
here. Uh we get to talk about his son, which I think is fantastic. Look at this one guy.
He’s virtually riding off the road here. This py rider like he’s going to pull over and get a
drink at the local convenience store. Um we’ve got some good info on how good the drug testing
is out there. The random checks. Love that, too. Dude, I think there will
be. Robbiey’s saying here, I wonder if there will come a day when we can
log on to each rider and watch their energ. Uh I think you on like some of the subscription
services, you can pick the car you want to watch, which actually, you know what, is not really that
much of a breakthrough cuz I can remember back 2012, I went to Silverstone in England to watch
the F1 race. Uh, I don’t like current F1. The cars sound like garbage to me. They may be faster.
They may be more young dudes that are super cool now. Uh, their cars sound like garbage. On a side
note, type in YouTube today. Don’t do it right now whilst you’re watching my channel. Please, uh,
watch Lewis Hamilton here’s V10. Just type that in. It’s a 1 minute and 30 second long video. It
must have been during COVID cuz he’s got a mask on. Uh Lewis looked a lot younger. Uh and they
had Alonzo’s I think it’s a 2005 R35 Renault on the track. And the interviewer is talking to him
and Lewis is like this. And then he says, he goes, “Oh, that sound is just nothing better than
that sound. I can’t believe they stopped that sound.” Paraphrasing. Uh, even the Formula 1 world
champion, whatever he was that year, knows that old sound is better than these inline six garbage
boxes. They just don’t sound good to me. Uh, so I don’t watch it anymore. Yeah. So, Oh, yeah. So,
Robbie, when I went to the 2012 Silverstone Grand uh Formula 1 in the UK, we camped out. We did
the whole experience. They had something called Kangaroo TV. It was a little box. I think we paid
like a hundred bucks each for it. We had three of them. There’s three of us. Uh, it was like a
little TV. You could watch any car you wanted. So, they they had that back then, but I think they
could do that with cycling eventually, too, where you can see their energy data. You can see like a
camera feed from their bike. That would be cool. Don saying for sure Tatty’s getting tested. Yeah,
guys, the more we talk about it, the more I think, yeah, he’s clean as clean. I just think he’s a
genetic freak. And again, is that really fair? They did that years ago like Chris Horner. They
knocked on his door and couldn’t find him and he was apparently at his girlfriend’s now his wife’s.
That’s his story, but she was his wife then. Okay. Uh Robert here saying, “Great great info, Maurice.
Very interesting.” Yeah, I think that’s that’s fascinating finding out that uh Nicholas Zukowski
Q36.5 is getting tested whilst he’s in Tucson, Arizona. Yeah, Robbie. And this is straight after
the Walta in 2012. Yeah. You know, I I do watch his channel once in a while, but that Velto win
was kind of a little bit to me. That’s all I can say about it. Uh when Nibbi was basically
thrashing Dathlon driving super hard now, guys. They’re on a little bit of a downhill here.
I’m watching the Pelon now. They are actually going downhill on the climb. You can see here they
are driving the front so hard. the riders up front grabbing me bags still. Probably like extra
feed locations today. Is this the front? Yeah, this is the front. I’m looking at uh I think
uh Nicholas I believe is number 127. I think Nicholas has number 127 on his back here. I’m
looking at him right now. Movar rider. Yeah, this is the group of seven. These guys
are all working really good together. So yeah, here’s the Pelaton on here and the the
the breakaway is on the climb itself. So they’re going to go smashing into the bottom of the
Pelaton. It’s down to 247 back. I’m sure pretty soon we’re going to see a couple of riders try
to get out of this group of seven. Whoever feels really strong today. Uh again, really cool here.
Uh Javier Roma is best placed at 526 back overall and our Canadian buddy Nicholas Sukowski is 634
back. So those two are the best placed riders in this breakaway. Uh looking back to the Pelon
here is a team PY visit Malta rider going off the front. Okay guys, seven riders in the breakaway.
It’s all falling apart right now. Uh looks like we got a bombing victorious rider. That’s Damiano
Caruso and I think a Moistar rider. They’ve gone up the road. We got Nicholas Sukowski with the
UAE rider uh trying to chase back on right now. Nicholas is actually leading the way. I can’t
believe. Is that another Moar rider there? Trying to get a clue on the second riders here. So,
it’s definitely Damian Cruz at the front baring victorious. Second place rider. Oh, it’s Red Bull.
It’s the Red Bull rider. That would be Ben Zuhoff. The second group. Uh again, so cool. His dad’s
here. Dude, your son was the first guy to attack to try to bring them back. uh rider sitting on
his tail. I think it was a UAE rider sitting on him. Nicholas looks over his shoulder like, “Come
on, dude. Let’s go. Help me out.” Uh there is one rider for team PY off the front. They’re decked
out in that red, white, and green, I believe. Let me just have a look at that, guys. I want to make
sure I’m right about that. Yeah, this team here, Team Pi, visit Malta. I don’t know who that rider
is right now. We’re going to find out real quick. 233 back from the front end to the Pelon. So,
we got a group of five chasing at 5 seconds. Uh, two riders off the front. Benuhoff and Damian
Cruso. Yep. Now, it’s uh we got a second group here. Ruy Olivera, Ruy Costa working together.
The Portuguese riders, Portuguese bros hanging out together. 5 seconds back, we have the other three,
Javier Romo, Nicholas Sukowski, and Larry Warbos. They’re only 11 seconds back. Uh, Damiano Caruso
is absolutely lighting it up on the front, guys. Uh he’s like thinking I’m not getting caught.
I’m not getting caught. He might be allowed to go away because he’s currently 1243 down. In
fact, Ben Zhoff is 13 minutes down. So I’m sure the Pelaton’s watching this very closely
deciding who do we go after. So yeah, that was all lit up by Damiano Caruso there and he’s
driving the front. And actually right now guys, he’s dropped Ben Zhof. Damiano Caruso right here.
We’re going to take a look at right now number 41 Bin Victorious 37 years old guys killing it is
a a known stage winner won the Jiro de Sicily uh in uh Tour Sicily in 2022 looks like he also
won the Cirquito de GO which we just saw last weekend. Yeah, stage winner second place at the
Turisu second place at Torino Edriatico. Uh yeah, been all over the place guys. So, season pro
off the front. He’s going to get over the bump first and try to launch it over the second bump.
Remember, this is that climb that’s kind of goofy because they’ve included all this downhill in the
climb. There’s a lot of downhill there. Uh like really high gradient, which is brings the overall
gradient of the climb down altogether. Uh yeah, Robbie says, “Watch the time drop.” Yeah, exactly.
Uh okay. Morris is saying here again. Uh they also showed up to test in Quebec, Canada while
vacationing visiting family. It’s not like he’s a Tom Pickock or Pagachar just goes to say,
“Yeah, dude. Dude, I think that’s awesome. Uh everyone’s getting tested.” So, you can probably
imagine the scrutiny that Yonas and uh Pagachar are under. It’s probably like they’re showing
up every couple days. No matter where he goes, they got And I always knew that about the Okay,
UAE riders here doing a a museette bag handoff. One rider hands the bag to the other and he’s
gone leaving his teammate to hold the heavy bag. Thanks, dude. Thanks a lot. Uh, Robert, what does
Nick’s old man think? Is this his kind of race? You feeling it? Morris Sagowski, big guy, 62, 165,
170. Not the best climber. Yeah, he’s in the third group right now. 20 seconds back. Actually, we
just lost the time count here. They just So, we got three. Actually, we got four groups out
front. Caruso solo, Ben Zuhoff about 5 seconds back being pursued by the the two Ruiz from
Portugal, Ruy Costa and Ruy Olivera. And then there’s another group about 20 seconds back, the
three uh remaining riders out of that sevenman breakaway we’ve had all day. Uh from Damiano, he’s
doing some work, guys. He’s opened up the gap. Started at 243, it’s out to 310 now. So Damiano
Cruso is getting over the top of the first bump. Yeah, dude. Robbie. Yeah, dude. What an awesome
chat, guys. Where are you going to get this where you get to talk to someone that’s on the
inside? Like, you’re not. You’re not. Uh, dude, I love my channel. I love my channel so
much. I love you guys being here. So cool that Maurice found this channel. Like, dude,
I don’t even know how you did that. Uh, he’s doing well. Yeah, dude. I’m so pumped
for your son right now. We’re all cheering for Nicholas. Wherever he finished
today, he was out front the whole day. Uh Damian Cruso out of the saddle, grinding all
the way, guys. He’s on a mission now. This guy knows what it’s like to suffer. Been around a
long time. Uh oh, yeah. Could you imagine being a Maurice right now, watching from home? Yeah,
I’d be doing back flips through the living room, breaking things. Uh Tony C. So that’s
Robbie. I’d be jumping around the room. Yeah, I wouldn’t I would be losing my mind really.
Uh L being a Canadian, I first read that as kg, which would translate to three. Oh yeah, exactly.
Yeah, he’s not 363 lb. Uh he’s a lightweight. So he’s my height and weighs 30 to 35 lbs less than
me. Probably more than that right now, guys. Uh it never gets old. Okay. Yeah, watching these
races. And T Ruven here from Maitius says Caruso has the experience on set. Exactly. He knows it.
Uh off the front now, it looks like a Burgos BH rider is going right now. Bergos, you know,
this is their race. Bergos team wants to show off and it’s lighting up on the screen right now.
Attack by a Bergos BH rider. We’re seeing all that 315 for the Bergos. 310 for the Bergos Rider.
326. So the gap from Caruso to the Pelon is just massively going up right now. I could see
guys in the GC going, you know what? Let them go. We’re not going to chase that down. Uh, I
highly doubt they’re going to pull back three and a half minutes now without completely destroying
themselves before the final stage tomorrow. He’s 1243 down. Let him He can go win the stage
and everything else just stays. Even Steven, that’s probably the strategy right now. He can go
win if he can stay away. Uh, it doesn’t hurt us. It doesn’t hurt Leo. It doesn’t hurt Isaac.
It doesn’t hurt any of the top contenders. We’re going to just kind of move this
up. Yeah, I think what we’ll do, guys, is just have this here. Maybe we’ll do this here
right now. Oh, wow guys, check this out. This is a great stat here. The last victory for Damiano
Caruso. Bing Victorious currently leading the race number 41 for team Bing Victorious. Very easy team
kit to spot that uh light blue color they wear on their socks and on their helmets. He last won over
three years ago. Uh he well yeah he won the tour of Sicily three years ago in 2022. So I just went
through that in his stats before. So that was his last overall victory. So be really cool to see
him get the victory today. I would love to see that actually. And I would actually love to see
the remnants of the breakaway stay away. And I think they could. I think with Damiano being off
the front right now, I think the Pelaton’s going to just ease up now going, “Well, you know
what? He can’t win the GC. Let him go.” And I think they’re going to start slowing down, which
might give some of the other breakaway guys here. There’s still seven of them out there. They still
have a 3-minute lead. They probably only got one, one and a half kilometers of climbing remaining.
Get over the top, it’s 10k to the finish. So then we’re going to see the big diesels come out and
start running. Uh we’re still cheering for the breakaway, guys. Still cheering for the breakaway.
Uh okay. They all have roles to play. This is for Maurice again. Some more supportive as domestics
for their top guys like Pitcock, for Nick. Uh but there are days you get a chance. Yeah, exactly.
There’s always days uh you get a chance. The domestics do get their chance. And I love when GC
riders like try to help their domestics win, too. So, motorbike here saying 314 from Damiano
Caruso to the Pelaton. I think as it grows, the Pelaton is going to get less incentivized to
chase. Uh, which will hopefully give our seven guys up front a chance to get away. I’d love for
these seven guys to stay away all day long. Uh, that gives our buddy Nick a chance to get on the
podium. Could you imagine that? That would be cool. Uh, Maurice, how is Nick at this ending?
He’s got a little bit of time to make up. But, you know, guys, the six the six other guys,
they’re they’re within 10 seconds of each other. It’s 20 seconds back to Ben. Uh then
it says it’s another 5 seconds further back to the two Ruiz. Another 5 seconds
back roughly to a group of three, but I haven’t seen any video footage of them
here. Uh I’ll get back to still as soon as I can. Yeah, Robert here. We’re worried to see two
guys named Ruie and both from Portugal working together. And again, they’re so far behind right
now, they they don’t affect the GC at all. The two highest place guys are Javier Romo and Nicholas
Sukowski here in the fourth group on the road, but they’re even still uh probably almost 3
minutes ahead of the Pelaton. Caruso rocking and rolling, constantly getting up out of the saddle
anytime his power starts letting off. Just had a quick peek over shoulder. He’s only 600 meters to
the top of this climb on tap. This should be six points at the top of this climb. Got to look here,
guys. Yeah, six points at the top of this climb. So, we’re just going to chill here. You guys
can see all the stats you need to see here. We’re going to hang out here for now. Watch
the detail profile here. He’s almost over the top. The Pelaton is kind of 25% up the climb.
Oh, this is a good stat here. Great stat here. oldest stage winners at the Voila Eberos. Way
back in 2000, we had a 37 year old win the stage. Same age as Damian Crusoe. Tony Romaner
won at 35. Andrea Taffy at 35. The first guy, I don’t actually know who that is. Andre Chamil,
a Belgian rider. I don’t know that name at all. Okay, things are just staying kind of solid for
now, guys. Let me get caught up here. Uh Damiano’s looking really good right now. Oo, take a look
at this. They’re saying the gap between Damiano uh and a group of three. Now, Ben Wehoff
has been caught by the two Ruiz. They’re saying that’s a 1 minute 20 second gap.
So, he’s really moving now, guys. He’s already descending. They’re still climbing. He’s
gone. Uh, as I like to say, run for the border, guys. He is gone. Only one decathlon rider on
the front right now. I think they’ve realized, yep, let him win. We’ve got this. So, it’s going
to be bombing downhill for 10 km, guys. Slight bit of false flatty at the end. I’m talking one two%
gradients. Nothing these guys can’t handle. Uh, missing the chat, guys. I’m just trying to follow
the race too much now. Yeah, Tony here saying, uh, they should leave the break, go. No big problems
for the Yeah, I would be tell if I was a DS, I’d be like, guys, don’t worry about it. Do not
worry about it. Let these seven battle it out. All we got to do is watch each other up front. We
have one stage to go. We have an HC climb tomorrow and a special coming up. Little wobble on the
road there for Damiano Caruso at the Cabza de Carera. Spanish is just incredible, isn’t it? Uh
did Caruso podium on the Jurro also? Well, dude, you ask and you shall receive. Uh I did see Yep.
second uh GC in 2021. Caruso was second at the GC um at the Jira de Italia and that’s the same
year he won the tour Sicy. So he was he was hot that year. He was on fire. Yeah, this guy’s
been around forever. Like BMC Racing, are you kidding me? Leaky Gas, I think we’ve looked at
him earlier. He was on Leaky Gas guy. That’s how long he’s been around. Insane. Oh, okay. Looking
at a Burgos BH rider here. Not sure if that was a mechanical attacks coming out of the front of
the pelon now. So now there’s other guys going, “Hey man, we can still go maybe get on a podium.
Uh get some TV time.” This might be a current rider. I believe it’s green. We’re in the shadows
here, the forest now. It’s a very sheltered climb. It’s not a wide open climb at all. To me, guys, if
I was to translate it to some part of the world, uh you know, it’s like very forested here.
It looks like a climb you would do in Canada, maybe like in the northwest of the states. I
was going to say California first, but I think the California climbs are more open. It’s a lot
drier. Uh we do have a Bahrain rider attacking here. Current rider and an EF rider. Three riders
off the front. We’ll get some names on them right away. Okay. So, there was a crash by a BH rider
and then they are talking about the Equipo current farmer rider going. There’s two other riders with
them. And in fact, the current rider has been dropped out of this rerider breakaway. Ball rain
is going. The EF rider will probably slowly crack, I would imagine, too. Pelaton coming around
the corner. Yeah, they’re flying, guys. They are flying. Here’s our finish line. Take a look
at that. First, that Damian Cruso. Second place, two Robbies and Ben. Third uh position on the
group here that is Romo Zukowski and Warbos. So, uh, Nicholas Kowski there is riding with one of
the most seasoned guys at the races, 35 years old. Uh, been with the world tour for 13 years, Larry
Warboss. Two years at a Continental platoon, Aqua Blue Sport. And Caruso, guys, he’s like going hard
to win, taking risks on the corner. It’s actually a pretty technical descent here. Some pretty uh
wicked switchbacks coming up. This is where I need bike terra, guys. Need bike terror for this. I
used to go and watch a couple friends riding local semi-pro races back in the day. Very cool to know
someone who’s in the mix. Yeah, totally, dudes. I feel like I’m a celebrity now, man. I know famous
people. We Hey guys, the chat here. We all know famous people. We all know Nicholas Zukowski here.
Uh yeah, it is cool to have that little insight, isn’t it? Uh Robbie saying, “I don’t know. I
think this last client will sort things out.” I don’t even know what time it is, guys. Uh
right now. Okay, so that’s a few minutes ago. Yeah, Moraurice here gets to practice with Pigco.
They are neighbors in Andor. Wow, that’s so cool. That is so cool. Uh Q36.5 back here. I’d love to
know what else Nicholas is doing for the season. He’s doesn’t have any races showing up in his
program yet here on Pro Cycling Stats, but yeah, that is awesome. So, he’s a clo he’s a neighbor
to uh Tom Pitcock in Andor. Tom is riding a Lalta, guys. So, we’re going to see all the
teams haven’t been filled out yet. I check every day. I check every day. I look to
see more riders being added to the uh rosters. Okay, this rider here, this Bin Victorious
guy. So, this dude we’re looking at here, he was third on day one. This dude was third on
day one. Yep. Here we go, folks. My memory is locked in tight today, folks. Uh up to Bergos
Castillo. He got third place on day one. So, he’s on the attack out of the Pelaton right now.
Uh he’s 159th down overall in 18th position. So, maybe he’s thinking he can pick up a few
seconds. This gives him a chance to move up as the big players aren’t chasing that hard
right now. 6 km to go for Damiano Cruso here, following that lead motorbike. That’s always my
thing. I was like, how do they know exactly where to go? What if you lose track of the motorbike for
a second? You take the wrong corner. I’m sure it happens. I don’t Yeah, no one’s getting caught
here, guys. These guys are gone. They are gone. Okay. Uh I’m going to bounce
down here a bit, guys. Yeah. Morrison Tom Pitcock, great descender.
Probably like world tour level. Probably the absolute very best descender. Uh, Robert here
saying, “Wiki tells me that Nick spent a year in the Canadian National Champ jersey. Must have been
wild heady stuff.” T Ruben, yeah, do on his day. He can be very strong. I think we’re talking about
uh Damiano here. Uh, Mexican Ozen uh who is in Tokyo, Japan, but is from the Cabos region uh near
Pueblo Bonito. He said earlier, let’s go Del Toro. Tomorrow’s going to be a huge day for the GC guys.
That last climb is an above category climb. Last solo winners 2025 Leo Bisau yesterday 2024 Sept
Cous 2022 Santiago Petraago they’re talking about the solo length too how far they went solo by
themselves Daniel Caruso is probably going to take the record now guys he’s got a big gap so we’re
talking the time gap solo break was 9 seconds is what Leo Bassau had uh right now Damon Cruz has
got a 1 minute 20 second lead over the Chasers Uh, okay. Oo, what’s Maurice telling me here? He says scoop
Valta. Oh, so is Nicholas going to Lavoa? Dude, I hope he is. I really hope he is. Like, I’m just
looking at his uh thing here and it says no races on the program, but I see that a lot. They’re
probably looking at his form right now. Like, it’s Yeah, it’s races like today. Hey, Nicholas.
I’m your coach. I’m your DS for your team. Whatever his name is. I’m just I’m pretending I’m
him. Dude, impress me. Impress me. You want to get on the Valta? You want to get on the Valta
roster? Impress me. And boom. He’s doing it. Shaka Gadouch, guys. Nicholas is doing it, man.
I hope he makes the Avoa team. I really do. So, yeah, a lot of teams will keep those rosters
really kind of. We’re not telling you yet. I mean, UAE and Visma Lisa bike, they have all
the riders showing up already. There’s teams that don’t have one rider yet. Uh, still probably
figuring it out. Other races going on, too. So, yeah, fingers crossed. Fingers crossed, guys.
3.2 km to go, guys. I’m going to start watching the video more here now. 3m minutee gap. I
can’t believe the break stayed away. See, guys, there is a chance. So, you’re saying
there’s a chance? Damiano Caruso for the win, guys. right here. We’re going to slide on over
a little bit. Watch this camera more here. I’m watching the same feed that uh Maurice Zukowski
is watching his son at Pelaton’s really really strong out here guys. Back at the Pelaton, we
got a team uh Py Vista Visit Malta rider back here. Lead Elrex there too. They are flying
here 3 km out. Damian Cruso here 37 years old is going for the win. Uh they are going to absorb
all the time bonuses. 10 six and four time bonus. So that won’t have any effect. Uh at the front
here right now it’s 22 and 26 seconds. That’s kind of our numbers we’re looking at. We got
Pelazari at 22. Bisau is leading the way and then we got Del Toro Fortunado at 26 seconds.
So I don’t imagine there being any gaps. So it’s going to remain the same after today. We’re
just going to see a different stage winner today. Oh wow. Here is an incredible stat which is
kind of a sad one almost. Which competitors are waiting the longest for a new
professional victory? Larry Warbass has not had a victory in eight years.
Julian Bernard has not had a victory in five years. So that’s that’s how hard it is
to win a stage guys. That’s how hard it is to get a victory at world tour level.
Um, so awesome here for Damian Cruso. Ah, okay dude. Awesome. Uh, Mexican Ozen
here. Dude, my house is on is by Pueblo Ponito Pacificico. Pacifica, I guess, on the Pacific
side where ATVs go for sunset cruises behind Pico. Dude, I was there uh two years ago. I think it was
there. Dude, I mostly stay um I really like it’s a it’s not a smaller resort, but I love staying
right on Madano. So there’s Vel Palmar, there’s uh Estansia, and there’s Arco. It’s kind of the first
place I ever went to in Los Cabos. I stayed at Vel Palar. It’s a very familyoriented place. It’s
not the fanciest, but they have the best. They have great food, great pool. Actually, the pool’s
not even that good, but it’s just a great perfect view of the arches. It’s very laid-back. Uh I’ve
stayed at Ryu Palace. I’ve stayed in I think I’ve stayed in San Jose del Cabo couple times. I think
there’s a Solaris there. 900 meters to go guys. Let’s get back to the race. So Damiano Cruso solo
victory here guys. I am seeing the second group now has Larry Warbos in it. So I got to assume
that maybe Nick is in this group too. There were three off the front. The two Ruiz and Ben. And now
Larry Warbos has joined him. The other two riders have disappeared. I don’t know where they are
right now. They’re only showing Damiano in first, then a group of four in second. There there should
be two other riders here. Either they’re just not showing up. They haven’t been identified. Uh or
they’ve just fallen back a little bit. Damn Cruz here. He’s under the final kilometer, guys. Uh
900 meters to go. Still working hard. And guys, he’s rocking and rolling. You know when you’re
holding the hoods on your bike and you’ve got your butt planted on the seat and you’re kind of
like actually rocking your bike. You can see his bike doing this on the road. He’s putting
so much power into these pedals. Ah, he’s already smiling. This guy, smiling at the camera
right now, looking back. He knows he has it. Lefthand corner here. Coming into town. Already
seeing some of the cars parked. High-fiving people out on the course here. Love it. Barricades are
up. Fans are showing up now clapping. I think they’re shocked to see him here so early. Some
people are just running up to the barricades now. A little bit of an uphill at the end here. We’re
going to stick right here on the camera, guys. I’m going to follow this all the way now, dude. Yeah,
Mexican. Dude, I know roughly where you live then. Roughly. Uh Disney had it right. It’s a small
world after all. Totally, dude. And my favorite place to go like uh me and Joey Jojo’s 15th
anniversary is coming up in October. Damian Cruz for the win, guys. Let’s see. Start seeing the
towns. Average speed 45.6 6 km an hour for that race with all that climbing. Uh guys, jump on your
bike today and try to pedal 30 km an hour. See how long you last. Uh inside I can do that for quite a
while on a flat course. Outside it’s really hard. The road surface slows you down. Robert, great
work today. Colin, thank you for hosting. Smashing the thumbs up button. I’m like, “Yeah, everyone,
if you’re here, you’re brand new, just hit the like button quickly. Uh I know there’s very
little coverage of this race. I might be the only uh English-speaking person that’s doing this
that’s not mainstream. Uh but what I do here is different. Daniel Cruso having a big gug of water
here getting his drink in. There’s no one there yet, folks. So, it’s still just showing a group of
four coming. So, there’s two riders we don’t see there. We don’t see Nick right now. And there’s
one other rider whose name I can’t remember. Uh who was the other rider there? Wow. Damiano
Cruso. That’s only his eighth career pro win. Okay, four riders coming in. Yep. So, there is
going to be a split. There’s two riders out the back. That’ll include Nick and the one other
rider. Four riders coming to the finish right now. Two Ruiz, Ben and Larry Warbos here. The EF
riders going up front. That’s Rui Costa leading the way in right now. These guys are sprinting
like this is for stage 21 of the Sham Ziliz at the tier to France. EF rider just holding it.
Just barely h held off I think Rui Olivera. Next in. Okay, I’m trying to figure out who
this is. I think we’re going to have uh Nick and the other rider come in solo here.
Just trying to see here. Yeah, Ryu Alvar got third place. Ruy Cost to second place. This
is the Movar Rider. So, it looks like Nick will be coming in seventh place. Yeah. Okay. This is
the Movar Rider coming in next. This will be for sixth place, I believe. Yeah, sixth place. And now we wait. And I’m hoping Nick is
coming right away here. I just hope we’ve lost his transponder for a little bit, guys,
because all I’m seeing now is the Pelaton. We’re looking for Nick’s finish here now. Uh
he was well up there with him. The only thing I can think is that they said, “Hey, man,
sit up.” Um who knows what’s coming from the car. I hope they didn’t do that. They
should have let him just go. The Pelaton’s under 1 kilometer right now. We’ll get some
preliminary results here right away, guys. Uh, race time was just over 3 minutes.
Probably like 3 hours and 35 minutes. Okay, this is a good one here. Yeah, please
like. Uh, Curtis ODM here. Note in Spanish, Mexican. Yeah, Isaac is pronounced Isach.
Isach. Okay, got it, dude. Isak. Dude, I’ll do my best to remember those pronunciations.
Isach. 64 watching, dudes. Thanks for being here. Hard left into town here, guys. I’m still looking
to see where Nick is right now. So, I did not see him cross the finish line. I think I am seeing a
Q36.5 rider leading the group in right now. So, maybe he could have been Yeah, hard to say. Nice
chat, Maurice Zukowski. Dude, thanks for dropping that at the end there. I love that last comment.
Nice chat. See you at Lavalta, dude. I know exactly what you’re saying now. Cha-ching gadouch.
Congrats to your son, man. I I still don’t know where Nick finished today, but let’s check out the
preliminary results here. Uh we’re going to see some flash on screen here. I’m going to be looking
over here. I’ll monitor the chat for a little bit, guys. And uh I want to see where Nick finished.
That’s my number one thing. We know Damian Cruiser won. Great. Uh where did Nick finish? Uh Nick
should be in seventh place, but I didn’t see him. We did not see him finish yet. So, Isak for
Isak Del Toro. Yeah, tomorrow guys is going to be an absolute banger. So, what I’m going to
do right now, guys, let’s look at tomorrow. Okay, so I think Nick was either caught or
went back. I wonder if Nick had a mechanical cuz he had a huge gap there. Uh because he’s
not showing up there. Oh, it was Javier Romo. That’s who it was from Ovastar. That’s who
was Let’s look at tomorrow’s stage quickly, guys. Uh 2025. This is the the big one
tomorrow. Tomorrow’s the queen stage guy. last stage here of the race. I’m so dudes,
I’m so glad I decided to do this race. Take a look at this. Uh we’re heading north up
into the Canabrians, I believe. Uh that mountain range across the top part of Spain,
Bass Country, is called the Canabrians. And uh we got a category 3 early on, 5 km at 4%. We
have another climb, 3.3 km at 5%. We have a sprint point which will be for time bonuses and then
it’s a long climb. That category one, it’s 3.3 km at almost 10% but there’s a ton of climbing
before it. From the sprint point on, we’re climbing all the way. We drop down hard quick and
then we take on Lagonas Dellia. Lagunas Denelia. Uh, and that’s an H, guys. That’s an especiial.
So, we’re taking that on tomorrow. Don’t miss that one. There is going to be absolute bombs
going off on that final climb. I think some of the riders that are further back might try
to take off on the cat one and try to escape. We can see that happening, too. What an awesome
stage. I think that was a lot of fun. Uh, okay, Migo, I’m going to sleep. See you tomorrow. Aasta
manñana, brother. Uh, thank you for the good time, dude. Thanks for finding me and I hope you follow
along for Lavalta. I do this every day now. I’ve committed to this full time. I hope Isak Del Toro
can win tomorrow, dude. He can absolutely win tomorrow. He’s absolutely on fire right now. Uh to
me, he’s the he is the future of UAE. Puggachar, I don’t know how much longer he’s got left
in him, to be honest. You know, it’s I think mentally he’s kind of like, yeah, I’m kind of
done with this. There’s been other sports where the superstars have stepped away early. Like,
yeah, I’m done. Just mentally kind of finished with it. Uh let me see the time, guys, here. For
me, this is actually probably a perfect time. Uh, okay guys, so I’m going to jump here. Thank you
for joining me. We’ve been going for 3 hours, which seems like a short stream to me. Probably
going to whip into town right now and get my other stuff done so I can get on my bike. I’ll
get prepped up for tomorrow. Uh, and hopefully have another great stream. Thanks for watching
everyone and we’ll see you again real soon.
