Stage 18 Valladolid › Valladolid (12.2km)
Well the race got twisted upside down again. The decisive Individual Time Trial has been shortened from 27km down to a mere 12 km. Any advantages expected in the long time trial are now gone. It is what it is.
Also we will be following the Coppa Sabatini

[Music] [Music] Wheel spin on the ground. Dark rolls of sound. Echo’s right before the night Break the stop. Keep rolling. [Music]
[Music] Yo, dudes. We are back again,
guys. Hey, good morning, guys. 5:30 something in the morning here.
Thursday morning. Let’s get it on. Shaka, what are we doing today,
guys? Well, unfortunately, we’ve got a unforeseen circumstances.
Well, actually, we could see this coming, couldn’t we? We could see this coming. Two
races going to be going off today, guys, that I’m going to be covering.
Uh, obviously, stage 18, VtePN. Good morning everyone. Colin’s waking up, guys. Colin’s still waking up. See a
lot of people in chat here already. Uh, soccer guy here. I wonder how many kilometers
shorter this tour will be by stage 21, guys. Will there be a stage 21? Will there be a stage 21? I’m
kind of worried about that one for sure. Worried, but also not so because the stage this the Lavalta
will be determined by the end of stage 20. Stage 21 is our ceremonial parade into uh Madrid. Same
as the ride into um Paris for the tour to France, although they changed that up this year, didn’t
they? Okay, let me get that out of the way. So, three and a half million people apparently live in
Madrid, something like that in the greater area. So, how are they going to control all that? That’s
going to be a tough one. So, guys, today stage 18, let’s have a quick look at what we’re going to
be looking at. 12.2 2 kilometers. Full Pelaton’s going to be there. One minute starts. First guy
doesn’t go out for 1 hour. Really? 1 hour? That long? 1 hour away. Okay. Well, maybe I mistook
the starting time. I thought it Yeah, I think it originally said uh 14:15 or 1413, something
like that. So 1012 after 2, which would be 101 12 after 6 for me. So we got a little bit of uh
filler time here, guys. So, everyone jump in the chat and say hi. Everyone hit the like button. Do
all that fun stuff. Soccer. Hoping to see a good time from Wilco Kelderman. He used to be good at
these. Ghana is mega favorite. Bet 3 to one. Yeah, guys. When you see the distance been shortened,
so the race unfortunately has been shortened. Uh we’ve had the race interrupted at least like I
mean fully three times. We had the uh Yonas Tom Pickoff breakaway neutralized race. No winner for
the race. Then just a couple days ago, we had the stage that was shortened by 8 km where I had no
idea what was going on at the time. Eager Bernal given the stage win, land a second. Then also this
one here too 20. It was 27.2 km now been reduced to 12.2. So that’s going to change everything
around. all the time that maybe Jiao thought he could get back. All the time that Yonas thought
he could take in a longer time trial. Remember, the longer they go, generally the more advantage
gives to a decent time trial list. The shorter they get, you’re going to see a different type
of time trial has come out. If it’s really short, when they’re three and four kilometers long, we
saw it at uh might have been the Leo Deutsland tour. They had a 3 km time trail. You can
see the sprinters doing really well. I mean, Jonathan Milan placed very high in that time
trial. It’s so short the sprinters can just hammer it. Uh, this is a decent length. Not what
I wanted to see. I wanted to see a big tool duel between Jiao and Yonas, but it is what it is,
as the old saying goes. And we’re just going to have to deal with it. Uh, we can’t deal with
uh those fun protesters that like to hang out on the course and ruin everything for everyone.
Dawn’s in the mixer. Good morning, dudes. Keerman is 1500 to1. Dude, put a dollar
on Kellerman. Just put $1. You never know. Maybe they’ll get rained out. I just
hope nothing happens to the course itself. So, yeah, we’ve got this stage today shortened.
What’s going to happen tomorrow? I’m just going to have a quick look here, guys, while we’re
here. So, stage 18 shortened time trial. It should be pretty reflective and you know
we will see time gaps but yeah 27.2 would have been so much more exciting. Stage 19 tomorrow
definitely not flat. It’s definitely probably not a sprinter stage. Could be a good breakaway stage
but sprinters may be involved in this. Very lumpy tomorrow. Very lumpy. 161k. Is this stage going to
get shortened as well? I think the closer we get uh probably to Madrid. I’d have to take a look and
see where we are. I think we’re still on the north side of the mountains there. So, I think Madrid
is on the other side of this mountain chain here. Why don’t we do that right now? Well, okay. I’ll
take a look at that in a second, guys. I got some stuff queued up uh I want to look at uh in Google
Maps. So, that’s our stage 19. That’ll be Friday. Then Saturday, this will be the decisive stage.
I think they need to be locking down the stage right now. Stage 20. Category three. Another
three, a two, a one, and an especiial at the top. Bolo del Mundo. Uh what I did hear though
is that there’s no people spectators allowed at all in the last 5 kilometers. So they
can’t get in the way and ruin the last 5 kilometers. Maybe they can do it beforehand. I
guess it’s a big park area up top. Uh, and uh, they don’t really want people ruining the area
up there. So, they’ve locked out all the uh, the fans that would be lining the side of the road
there. Coffee time, guys. Get your coffees going. Oh, everyone’s still here. Everyone’s still
here. Just uh, yeah, I’m just looking all into Doug. Dawn’s here. No bets for Pop Marino today.
Come on. Coming around for 70 niner. Come on. watched a bunch of that last night. Jefferson, no,
Jeffino, Cap, Kaplarino, who’s the new favorite, dude. Be Gigana today. Like kind of a big big
time trialist here, I think. Uh, let me take a look at that here, guys. Well, here’s stage 20.
We got to hope the stage doesn’t get messed up because this will be the new decisive stage.
I don’t think with the stage being shortened, Jiao or Jonas aren’t going to take that much time
out of each other. Jonas can’t hurt him that bad. Jiao can’t take that much to time back. It’s kind
of almost neutralized. Uh there’ll be small gaps. It’s not going to be a 50-second difference at
least. Uh I think those two at the top better hope not. Friday will be pretty much for the breakaway.
Probably not a lot of changes in the GC there. There is some good GC battles. I saw a
video about it yesterday. I’m like, “Yeah, dude. I know about that one.” Uh, the Felix Gaul
and Junior Surf battle that’s going on. Sorry, Ricatello. Rick freaking stage 20. Super
important. Stage 21 is our ceremonial stage, our parade into Madrid. You can see it’s only 108ks.
They do a bit of a circuit coming through here, right? There’s laps through Madrid. Will this even
run? I’m thinking I’m I’m leaning more to the fact that this won’t run on Sunday. And if it doesn’t,
guys, don’t worry. We got a lot of other stuff to do. Finn’s back. Jiao Neto cheering for Jawa here
to unfortunately it’s been shortened. So, uh, that’s really going to change things up. So, let’s
just get that set up, guys. I do have the other one. Oh, we’re not going to look at that yet, are
we? Hold on. Guys, we do have the copa sabatini going. I don’t think there’s any video feed of it
anywhere right now. So, I do have it available on flow bikes once it gets here. Yeah, it’s not even
available for a little bit, guys. Just so you know, over at the Copa Sabatini, another classical
race, the series of races. I mean, we just saw Isak Del Toro win yesterday. We saw Isak Del Toro
win, was it Sunday? Yeah, I think it was Sunday. Uh they go through these series of races at the
end of the year. There’s and there’s quite a few of them as well. There’s a ton of them coming up.
We Yeah, we saw Tuscana yesterday. Today is Cap Capo Sabatini. It’s a one pro race. So, second
tier of racing. Uh but you’re going to see a lot of World Tour pros here in this front group here.
We’ve got 10 riders up front. This dude here, Eduardo Chipellini. Oh my. His uncle is
Mario Chipellini. Check this out. Father Cesar Chapelini, but it’s his uncle Mario. Dude,
this guy, well, okay, this guy today, he needs to go full Chipo. Just transform yourself into the
Mario. And again, here he he just did GPN Distria and Argentinado on Sunday. Racing today here. 10
riders in that front brake. Everything seems very dark in here. And again, this is a lap series as
well, guys. You can see the same names coming over over and over. Uh I think it’s called uh Terraula.
Terracula. Terracula. I may need to use this one, guys. Uh I need to get zoomed in on this. This is
terrible. So, let me do this over here quickly. Talk about what we’re going to be
doing in the future here right away. Yeah. Terraala, Terra Koala, and then Monte Monte Fiscoli.
So, it’s a big lap race. Uh, kind of like a long crit
race, 197 km, bigger laps. Looks like six, seven, eight laps, something
like that out on course. Then they go through the the finish line. They go through the finish
line twice. Third time through, it’s over. So they must be going out onto a big circuit,
come back into town and do a smaller circuit at the end. But lots of names here, guys. Going to
say good morning to everyone. Beef Flairs is back. Uh yeah, Don, we can figure out more
menus for the restaurant venture. I know, right? Uh good morning. It’s uh 12 13:36 there.
Okay, so I’m a little bit behind, guys. 13:36. 1:36 in the afternoon. Okay, 1:36 in the
afternoon. few. I think the time trial starts at 2:35, something like that. No,
Aaron, we don’t. That really ticks me off, too, guys. I love the time trial for
the time checks. So, because of that, we now have one checkpoint out on course. Uh,
it’s at about kilometer 7.5 it looks like. So, it’s basically going to be we’re looking for
that one point the whole time. So, yeah. Erin, uh, protesters ruined it for me. protesters,
you accomplish nothing. Bye. Nothing. Oh, Rusticle saying horrific crash in Venezuela.
Dude, I didn’t hear about that. But Rusticles, thanks for bringing that up, guys. There
is another race going on. Here it is. The Valta Cista in Venezuela. We can take
a look at it here. Uh, it’s 2.2 race. And so, yesterday would have been stage four. Wow. Did no one finish the race?
I’ve only got times for 15 dudes here. Look like a bit of a criterium.
So, yesterday stage four, I believe. Looks like it might have been
like an out and back race. Yeah, laps. I can see your lap
six, lap seven, lap nine. So, apparently there was a really bad crash
there, guys. So many riders in this race. So, six riders per team. Yeah, probably 16 teams, something like that.
So, there should be well over a 100 riders. We look at the results from yesterday stage
four. That doesn’t seem right. GC. Okay, so they’re only showing us uh times down to 15
times, but apparently huge uh crash yesterday or very uh catastrophic, I guess. I don’t know
anything about that one, guys. Copatini. Uh yeah, so Aaron, unfortunately, only one time check
available, guys. I’m in the cal cycle shirt today. I’m going to turn some brightness
down here. I can see it’s horrible right now. Make sure everything’s working before we get
going. That needs to be turned down a little bit. That’s way too bright. That one there, that’s
just my phone, guys. That’s That brightness is just from my phone. That’s crazy for Colin’s
poor eyes that are suffering still fatigued. Uh, who would be Natav Riseberg today? Natav
Riseberg. Why don’t I know what that means? Oh, dude. Yeah, you’re right. That’s right, dude.
I already know who you’re talking about. Come on. Let’s get over here, guys. We will go back
to Levalta page. We will go to the start list. We will go to Israel Premier Techch right here.
So, I’ve already know this. I’ve saw it earlier in the race. There is one Israeli rider on Israel
Premate. So, yeah. Who would want to be him today, I guess, is what you’re saying. Yeah,
I wouldn’t either, dude. Good point. I mean, can you imagine the kind of grief
he’s getting out on stage every day? Sakura Gana is one of the earlier start times,
so the broadcasting will be earlier. Dude, I kind of hope so. Like, we just got to
kind of see how it plays out. Like, I go into flow bikes and I just kind of refresh and
refresh. It’s saying right now, not for a while, but sometimes they’ll just turn it on earlier.
So, you kind of just have to keep an eye on it. Uh Aaron, based on the pace of the race course
alterations, stage 21 may be done on Zift or Ruby on a trainer. Dude, yeah, you’re probably right.
I can actually I think I’ve done the whole Yeah, about three weeks back, I rode
the finish into Madrid on Ruby. Uh Don, they need to finish in Madrid. It’s like
stopping a movie 15 minutes before the finish is. Yeah, dude. I know. And again, what else is
going to happen? How many other races are going to be interfered with now? How many other races
are going to be interfered with? And just to be, you know, kind of a little bit controversial,
I want to see all these protesters down in Rwanda protesting. I want to see you there.
Let’s see if you’re going to do that. I’m going to almost guarantee you there won’t be
any protest there. That’s not allowed there, guys. Let’s get on with this. Honestly, guys, do
you think these same protesters that are here will be showing it from in Rwanda? I don’t think so.
You know what we should do is we could look at the the start list and see what kind of team actually
I have already done that. I’ve already done that. Uh we’ll go back to home here this morning. First
thing I was looking at the uh calendar and I did look at the world championships. I really like
the looks of the individual time trial here. This is a tough one. So just looking at the map here
quickly, you know, here’s the profile. You see the same bump twice. Why are we seeing that? They
start in Kaggali where the arrow pointer is right now. They’re going to head out south through I
think two time checks up over the climb down into the valley. They’re going to come back around.
They’re going to do a U-turn at the far end. Come back over the same climb to get a second time
check. Then they head back the way they came. So, it’s going to be the same road. So, there will be
riders. They will be seeing each other going out and back there. There’s going to be a lot of that
going on. They’re going to hang a hard left here. Go to the third checkpoint. So, we got three
checkpoints out on course for the time trial, guys. And I’m talking about this and I’m thinking,
wow, this is a week away. It’s a week from the Sunday away. So, this is coming so fast now.
I think uh doing the world championships will probably be my hardest, longest stint uh doing
this stuff. So there will be a third time check here on the downhill and then they finish uh back
in Kaggali Giggly Kagali on the west side. So nice time trial, proper distance, 31.2 km long. They do
that for the indivi uh for the elites. I believe they do it for the under 23s as well. I looked at
it this morning. Same distance. Uh the juniors do a shortened course. I think it’s 18.3 kilometers.
But what we want to see here in the individual time trial. Okay, maybe it’s the road race. I’m
pretty sure I looked at the road race. Men’s elite road race. That’s women’s men’s under 23. There
it is. Men’s elite road race right there. We’ve got Australia there. Belgium, Denmark, Colombia,
Estonia has one one rider, Ryan Tamck, Tame World Tour rider. Uh, Ecuador has one rider. Richard
Caras, just one rider. It’s all going to change, guys. Uh, Guatemala is there. Ireland, Mauritius.
So, we’re going to see some more riders from I guess Maitius is big into cycling, too, now. It’s
great to see. Netherlands, Slovenia, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland. Yeah, no Israeli team,
guys. I thought there might have been. I thought there might have been at this event. Okay. Well,
I’m going to keep my eyes posted on that one, too. Get into the La here. Uh, and we
will also have Kappa Sabatini going at the same time in case it pops up on
screen here. At the Copa Sabatini, guys, they are currently 92 km into the race. Not
a blistering pace yet. 41.4 km an hour. Uh, good little chunk of climbing, too. They still
got 1465 meters of climbing to do and they’re just about getting to the halfway point. So,
this race would have had about 3,000 meters of total climbing today. The Pelaton right now
is sitting 4 minutes and 2 seconds back. So, probably by 60% of the way into the race,
you’re going to see that time gap coming down. Uh yeah, I hope we see it
earlier, dude. Let’s hope. Oh, Aaron Papa, any odds posted for
Montreal yet? Top five in odds? Yeah, let’s get some bets in. Let’s get some bets in.
I’m going to do that, too, dudes. I’m betting on it. I need to know. The tour organizers have
boosted security to 1500 civil guard and police for the last stages. Normally, the race is
just 200 police, guys. So, yeah. Remember that other race we were watching that the race
was canceled? Why don’t we do that right now? Uh yeah. What are they going to do with this one?
So the 23rd uh women’s race here in Ardesh stage race Lahi Copeki. What are they going to do with
this one? So yesterday the race was canceled. I don’t know if it was just the stage. So I guess
apparently in France I think the prime minister has had a vote of no confidence essentially. So
all of the police and Jearmms have been pulled back to Paris to kind of like deal with the
ousting of this person. I don’t know who it is even. Is this true guys? I don’t know anything
about it. So there was no Jean Darmmory in that part of the world to make the the race secure. So
that’s why this women’s race got cancelceled. So thanks a lot France. Thanks a lot. Uh Li Gopki
could have won that one. So, I don’t know if they’re actually racing this one or not. Wow, this
world’s getting crazy, guys. We’ve got RA time trial shortened. Full stage is being cancelled.
All these weird situations. Copa Sabatini. So, we’ve gone through that one. Uh, many thanks
on this date to the Canadian Newfoundlanders. Uh, oh, that took a 911 fly. Dude, that’s such an
incredible story, dude. Such an incredible story, dude. Aaron, dude, thanks for bringing that
up, bro. And um guys, wow, it’s the 24th anniversary. I don’t like saying anniversary
of 9/11. That was a horrifying day, guys. Here, guys. Do you remember exactly where you were?
Cuz I sure do. What was I doing? I was working in downtown Calgary at an oil company called Samson
Canada Oil and Gas, a US company, by the way. based in Canada, Canadian operations. Probably
95% of the employees were Canadians. Just the occasional US spy overlord that worked there. Uh
they were all good people. And um I was out with the landmen. We were sch smoozing at a restaurant
across the street. We had breakfast every morning, me and this couple dudes. I was a slacker. And
yeah, we were watching back then. Remember, think about it, 2001. Internet not that good.
Um, you couldn’t get everything you wanted to see. We were in that restaurant when it happened.
We just sat there going, “What?” And we were like the only people in there at the time, just a
few of us. I forget what time it happened in New York. Exactly what time. I think it was
late in the morning. This would have been maybe 9 9:30 for us. Just I’m ballparking, guys.
So, the restaurant had already cleared out of the morning rush because we’re all supposed to be
working. We were slackers. We’d go after the rush. By the time stuff got really crazy and serious,
that entire place was like standing room only. Just people like restaurant uh fire code
completely broken. There must have been 500 people inside that restaurant standing uh just
watching the TVs because back then it was hard to get that stuff streaming. Yeah, what a crazy
day. And what Aaron’s bringing up here, Aaron, such a good story, guys. Go on. I forget the
name. It was it’s called like operation something or other. So you got all these airliners in the
sky. Guys, you can’t land anymore. Get out of our airspace. You’re leaving. And so they’re all like,
where do we go? So a bunch of American airlines, uh, international airlines. I wonder if
Aaron actually says it here. Yeah. So guys, uh, they have to go land somewhere. There’s an
exceptionally long airirst strip on the east side of Canada in Newfoundland in a small town
called Gander. Gander, Newfoundland. Gander, Newfoundland was used in World War II to ferry
planes across to uh Europe. So they they couldn’t get all the way from the States over to the
UK. So they would go and land at Gander first. like for such a small airport, very long runways.
That’s what they used it for. So, it was one of the few places they could land a bunch of planes
quickly. It was a dead enough airport because it’s not very busy. Yeah, it’s insane the number
number of planes that landed there. I think they said they on average nine planes would land per
day at that airport. And that could be jets too, guys. Could be jets across Canada flying in there.
And then they were kind of anticipating upwards of 50. I think at there ended up being like 100 or
150 some crazy number of that like of large uh you know 737s maybe bigger type uh planes there.
Yeah. And so basically as the people were coming they were like setting up like food for people
CS in the schools and just like Yeah. Amazing. Papa’s going to check on the race odds
here. Doug Sanders saying hi. Yeah. So, that would have happened 24 years ago,
guys. 24 years ago, some people were just getting on a plane just, hey, I’m going
to go visit my uncle or I’m going to go to work or I’m going to go do this and then
the whole world changed. And it really did crazy about the stage yesterday, all that
wildfire, but it’s the way nature restores. Yeah, exactly, Finn. Exactly. So, I know some
people looked at those fires yesterday as uh devastating and this that and there would
have maybe been I don’t think any people lived up there, but those fires are natural, guys. Those
fires are natural. They just come and go. That’s how nature restores itself. I think it’s the
pine cones around here. A lot of pine trees, they only actually the pine cones only open under
heat. So, you can’t get new ones without heat. The heat comes from uh from the fires. It doesn’t come
from the sun. I think they can’t grow otherwise, but cuz I’ve got little ones that pop
up here, but fires restore the ground. Uh oh, Tom Pipcock parfait can be a dessert item.
Chocolate with vanilla and with cherries. As for yesterday’s last climb, it seemed that uh Yonas
and Jiao were the worst in the legs of the last six, seven guys. Very strange. Yeah, Ricatello.
And I know I don’t say his name right, but that’s okay. Um, he probably attacked three times, like
super explosive. Every attack, I probably said it during the video, every attack, Jiao was the
guy that was fading the most. He just didn’t have the same jump as the rest of them. Yonas would
usually hang on the back, too. But Almeida would get gapped by two, three bike lengths every
time. He doesn’t like that kind of attack. Dawn the Veneuelan ride the train looks very
like my heart rate for today’s voltage stage I know what’s the skinny on Cal cycling dude
thanks for asking about that cal cycling guys this is kind of like my little local bike shop
why don’t we do that right now we’re going to do it right now guys thanks for asking so we’re going
to bounce over here and let me get the setup first guys because I got some stuff I want to show you
here Can I do this here quickly for you guys? Uh, yeah, we can do this quick. Turn those layers on.
Get over here. You know, I love playing YouTube, uh, Google every day. Those of you who haven’t
seen it, this is where I live. Joy’s like, “Don’t don’t tell everyone where we live.”
Like, what do you think they’re going to show up here? Man, you guys are coming
through. Show up anytime. Show up anytime. Okay, let me get this going. Uh, there we go,
guys. That’s where I live. There’s my house. Middle of the prairies. Here’s the prairies. This
is where I live. Here’s my big farmyard. That’s it. People are going to ask, “What’s this road
here?” That’s a well. That’s a well. My neighbors dug out. Here is the Inside Cycling World compound
itself. The trailer’s gone. The trailer is now gone. It’s actually arrived at its destination
in British Columbia. Uh, I probably sold it two months ago. It’s been sitting up here. This tree’s
actually blown over here. It blew over in the last go, guys. We had a monstrous raintorm last night.
Like incredible rains. So, yeah, this would have been probably I don’t know these pictures here.
This is probably like the spring or the fall. Hard to tell right now. I see nothing on the trees. All
depends when these pictures were taken. Cal cycle, guys. One of my very few local rides I do here.
Whip out of the house. Come straight south here. Go past the old place of Midway. Remember
there’s the curling rink. I’ve talked about this before. There’s the curling rink. I’ll show
you the mighty metropolis of Midway here. This was actually a town at one point. Here is the
mighty metropolis of Midway. That was the big highlight. That was the school. There was a
school there. It’s now owned by a welder. Um here’s the curling rink where the people whip
the rocks and the stones around. That’s it. Not much else to it. There’s a few houses at
Midway, but here’s one little puddle. This is the only time you’re going to see our roads
not go straight here. If there was land there, that road would have went straight north
south. You come out here just through the countryside and here is the mighty metropolis
of London. Guys, you got to take a take a quick look at London here. This is it. This is
where I go sometimes for snacks and stuff. This is it, guys. This is Main Street right here.
So, there’s one gas station. It’s this. They still pump your gas for you. They still pump your gas.
There’s one place to buy food. It’s this tiny little grocery store. There’s a coffee shop over
here in that the Hong Kong restaurant. I want to show you guys something really funny here. Uh oh.
I hope I can see it. I really hope I can see it. I don’t think I can. Can I How do I zoom in here?
See this little trailer back here? Oh my god. You can’t see it. You can’t see it, guys. If you’re
looking at on screen right now, this is like the coolest thing about Lyndon. This little trailer
here with one, two, three, four doors on it. I think used to be the Hong Kong Motel. This used
to be a motel for people coming through. I think I’m going to get it back in business. I’m going to
reestablish this as a thriving hotel in the area. It’s going to be super luxur plus plus. It’s
going to be called the inside cycling world, whatever you want to call it. Anyways, dudes,
that So, that’s Lyndon. That’s all it is. There’s other stuff. It’s all farm equipment. This all
farm equipment over here. Calcycle. You whip out of town. You whip out of town. There’s
Cal Cycle right there. So, Cal Cycle is my little local bike shop. I can be here in about
25 minutes. Calycle is this long building here. So yeah, I won’t even get any images for
it. Calcycle. Let’s take a look at it here. Calycle. That’s it, guys. This This
used to be a chicken barn. And uh Oh, they do sell Rocky. I don’t think they sell
Rocky Mountain anymore. It’s crazy when you go in here now. And they’ve got the back
of the store blocked off. It just keeps going forever. They sell a bunch of stuff
here, little carts and stuff like that. This entire store now is probably 90% ebikes. So
I whip in for quick repairs. I just pull right up to the front, walk my bike in, and it’s like,
okay, we’re right on it. We’re right on a column. So just a lot of fun stuff here. Right. That’s
the scoop on Cal Cycle. Back to the racing guys. So yeah, just a jersey I picked up
there. Bought from them a while back. It probably doesn’t show up well because
uh the green probably gets blended away. And I’m going to just back I got to start
backing up you guys. I’m missing a lot of stuff already. Good thing is we don’t have a ton
of stuff going on. We’re still waiting on well to start. I’m still waiting on live feed here.
I’m going to check again here right now. Let’s uh try to refresh that 103.2 kilometers done
over at the Copa Sabatini. We have a group of 10 nine up front. Fourminute break back to the
Pelaton. That’s where uh Pickock’s hanging. Sorry, Isak Del Toro’s hanging out. I’m
looking at Pickock’s name here. Yeah. So, Aaron, if I need a repair now, I go
straight there. It’s repaired now. I love those dudes. I’ve been going there for years. I’ve never
Yeah. It’s like, okay, we’ll get and everything is like cheap. Oh, yo, you need your chain replaced,
Colin? Yeah, that’s uh like if I need it done now, they’ll charge me like something dumb like,
“Oh, it’s $12 to replace your chain plus the cost of the chain.” Like, it’s just nothing.
So, if I was to go to Erdri, it would be like, “Okay, let’s book your bike in.” Okay. Yeah,
we can take a look at it probably hopefully by tomorrow afternoon. I kind of need to fix now.
Pomer, I can only I only have odds for Quebec. Pogy is 11 to 10, so he’s virtually going to win
it. Arnold De 7 to2. Matthews 10 to1 vout 14 to1 Corbin Strong 6 to1 Benny man I would put money
on vout like just a small amount on vout at 14 to1 I think he’s got a decent chance of winning
that thing Pogy should be the favorite both the uh T TT and the road championships yeah
exactly yeah guys that TT is tough like it’s hilly you have to be a decent decent strong time
travelers for that and be able to climb hills. Uh, yeah. Does Pogy really have a 45%
probability of winning? Bruce McMillan. Hey, Bruce. Nice to see you here. If sanctions went
on when the when the umpire made his decision, uh, okay, I just I don’t understand.
I got to read this out loud to myself. uh made his decision then all these
people wouldn’t have to give up their day to express their disapproval of
government in action. I think Bruce is saying if we would have done something
sooner. Okay, I’m going to figure this out. Alexander Meyer has signed for Q36. Oh, let me
take a look at that, dude. Let me take a look at that here. I guess we can back out of this one
here because nothing’s going on Lavalta yet. Um, I don’t see it showing up yet in
the latest transfers. The latest one I’m seeing is Ra Garcia Perna. That was
yesterday going to Moastar. This dude here, Arcade B&B right now, crashed out um quite
a few stages back here at the Lavalta. Yeah, he crashed out on stage 10. Uh, this
guy’s pretty decent climber. We saw him at the very front on those stages
uh with the big hitters up front there. I’m going to count how many times Colin will get
a coffee. Dude, I feel I I’m feeling groggy today to be honest. Then I got a lot to do. I got to get
out of here again. Chores. Joey’s like, “Can you come pick up everything at the office?” Joey’s
shopping extravaganza. She goes on. I go to her office. It’s full of boxes off Amazon. Who else
is in that same boat? And then she’s like, “Oh, we also need you to cut the lawn, too.” I’m like,
Jesus, what am I getting paid for doing this? I need some cash. Call JG Wentworth if you need
cash, guys. If you need cash now, JG Wentworth 877 cash now. Someone said it was JG Wentworth.
And then the song immediately came to my head. Okay. Yeah. Pomeran stage two was cancelled
because of the risk of those protests. Block everything protest underway
across France on Wednesday. Finn was at home on 911 when it happened. Erin, I
remember exactly where I was teaching math in high school. 15 miles from Yay from the Pentagon.
Many parents at downtown DC parents. Yeah, dude. That was like a day that it’s that’s the
one day I think a lot of a lot of kids now, a lot of young people, they’ve never experienced
something like that. It would be the same as the people like in uh World War II, Pearl Harbor, like
where were you when Pearl Harbor happened? It’s probably the same kind of sensation cuz I will
always remember that day. It’s ingrained in my head. I remember I got out of downtown Calgary.
I’m like, I need to get out of here. Like, what if they were attacking all the cities
and they looked at oil hubs, which Calgary is, and I was like, I got to go home. LAF. I was
watching TV live before the second plane. Uh, okay. Someone’s saying, “Rest in peace, Charlie.”
Who? Julius Caesar. Who’s rest in peace, Charlie? Oh, Charlie Kirk, dude. Yeah, I heard about that,
too. That’s insane as well. I think we heard actually I heard in my Discord yesterday that
he’d been shot in the neck, and I’m like, that doesn’t sound good, dude. I didn’t know he was
only 31. I had no idea he was only 31 years old. I got to drink coffee quicker. I don’t like
cold coffee. Uh tapas auso is on the menu. You never know what you’re going to get. Yeah,
dude. It’s just a random. Just throw whatever in the in the dish together. Cycle espresso on
the drinks menu with a shooter of gel. Oh, yeah. Thank you. I’ll stop by for coffee and help you
you at your place, dude. Let’s get it going on, man. Let’s get it going on. Let’s all take a
field trip to Alberta. We can have coffee, Lara bars. Dude, hot dog buns. Oh, guys, unfortunate
news. Unfortunate news here. Colin this morning did not even get have a bare hot dog bun because
pup pup Ziggy decided to reach up on the counter, pull them down, and was starting to eat them
last night. I just heard I heard some sound in the kitchen. I’m like, “What’s that noise?” He had
the bag. He was running around with it having fun. Uh, oh yeah, donkey rides for the folks under
50 kgs. Actually, he’s pretty strong. You’d be surprised how strong a even a mini donkey is. I
bet you I bet you Marshall’s Marshall’s probably like 300 lb of solid muscle. I wonder if shorten
TT leads to more random top 10 or more chalky top 10. Chalky. I don’t think I’ve ever used the
word chalk. It’s chalky. Yeah, dude. You’re right though. This is a different time. This is
kind of like a long prologue now. In the past, there used to be prologue specialists. So,
like there’s prologue specialists that Tatty and Yonas would never beat ever. They would
never beat them. Like over a three or four kilometer prologue distance. They they don’t
have the power to beat them. Uh generally bigger dudes just pushing out massive horsepower. So
they might be pushing the same watts per kilo, but it’s the absolute watts that are a lot
higher. You’re right, Erin. Th this is totally flipped the time trial, but at least it’s still
somewhat of a decent length. I’d like to see the days go back to when they were doing 50, 60, 70
kilometer individual time trials. And then you see really who the best riders out there. Then
you see that’s where people lose 15 20 minutes. Colin cycling chateau. Exactly dude. Tornadoes.
Tormal to gut to gut training for the climbs. Uh Hong Kong cycling jersey
in the work. Hong Kong. How do we get talking about Hong Kong, Aaron?
Oh, yep. Yep. Okay. I did see that name. The Maitius rider. Dude, there’s two of them. There’s
going to be two at the World Championships. I wonder if there’s gonna be any more. I don’t
imagine it’s gonna be a big team. T Roven is like cycling a big thing right now in Maitius.
Like, you know, I find a lot of countries. It could be a big country or a small country. If
they have that one standout athlete, Kim Laort, in a sport that’s maybe not their sport, all
of a sudden everyone gets behind it. Is that the case in uh Maitius right now? Everyone’s
excited about Kimble Leort, so everyone’s like, “We got to get on the bikes.” Dom was getting
ready for work on 911. First year anniversary at my third professional job after college.
Oh, his mom was working in Manhattan at the time. My uncle was working at American Express.
Jeffrey and I will always remember the day of the terror attacks of Paris. That one too, guys.
And in the Brussels airport where my godfather, a teacher leaving for a trip, uh oh, lost many
of his pupils. Okay. He was a teacher. Wow. Yeah, guys, the Brussels attack,
the Paris attacks. Um, guys, there’s a documentary on Netflix like the London
attacks, too. I haven’t watched it. I’m like, “Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.” I think there
was big London attacks in the tube system. Yeah, as a New York Oh, Tony.
Yeah, as a New Yorker, uh, 911 was so brutal. I spent a lot of time in
in the wars. What’s the wars? I’m probably not understanding what that means. Oh,
the towers. the towers. Okay. Sorry, dude. A buddy worked on the 95th floor but
was let uh go two months before. Yeah, lucky. One of my dogs uh ate a fresh baguette from the
market and she loves butter. Can you tell she’s a Frenchy Benj Frenchy French benon? Sorry,
dudes. French Belgian bassad hound bread. travels with Tony. Yes, longer the trials today
will be probably 50 guys within a minute. Yeah, it’s a shortened down. So, it’s taken.
Let’s say Jiao’s on time trial superstar performance. He’s not going to get a
chance now to take that time drop trial, that time back from Yonas in the time trial.
Now, it’s gone. You know, maybe before he’s like, “Okay, I can take back one second per
kilometer. I’m going to take back 27 kilome uh seconds today. It’s going to put me within
20 seconds. Bolo del mundo. No, that’s gone. Oh wow. Paparino. That was quite a single
shot that got Charlie Kirk. Estimated at uh 142 yards. Yeah, dudes. All I know is that
he got shot in the neck again. I heard it in my Discord. I was doing a bunch of stuff in this
room yesterday, updating all my my whoosh stuff, guys. I’ll be getting back to my whoosh here
soon, I think. Uh, they got some fun new modes on it. And like I said, I think I’m doing
some commentary on there this year. Actually, commentary where someone’s willing to compensate
me for it. So, I’m looking forward to that. Yeah. So, crazy. 31 years old. Kill a dude because you don’t believe in his views. I
don’t know. I’m just not into it. Jeffino, sorry for the off-topic talk. There’s
so much happening right now in the world and so much has happened. Cycling is one of the few
things that bring my mind to Dude. Jeffino, bro, it’s okay, dude. Uh, I’m totally fine with
having a little bit of side discussions as long as it doesn’t get nasty. Like, everyone’s
got different viewpoints. I have viewpoints, you have viewpoints. Uh, I hate the
fact what the protesters are doing here. But there’s people that are
fully in support of the protesters, too. I just don’t like them affecting the
race, which is a diversion for us from all the garbage in the world. Has the world
ever been any worse than it is right now, guys. Has it been because it’s always the
worst when you’re in it or it’s always the best when you were in the past? You know, I don’t
think it’s probably been any worse than this. That’s right. LMF uh shorter TT means you’ll
see TT capable sprinters do better. Yeah, if they start shorting it up, you’re going to
see sprinty guys, long range attack dudes doing a lot better. Yeah, like a mad ads. Exactly,
dude. Whitley Bay for the win here, guys. Uh Tro, no, it’s not a big thing. I only
know one friend who watches cycling and he only watches tour of France. I’m sure
there are many people who watch Cyclone, but I don’t know any. Okay, dude. I just thought
it might have been a big thing there now. Uh 250 ft, not 142 yards. 250 ft would be like
80 80 yards. So yeah, guys, I don’t even know anything about it. Just know a dude was shot
because someone didn’t like his opinions. God, I would have been killed a hundred times over by
now. Oh, Dawn. My mom saw the shadow of the second plane overhead while walking to work for taking
the bus to New City. I lost six classmates in the towers. It was year one before our 10 year high
school reunion. E. Yeah, scary guys. And all you uh US buddies of mine, we all still remember
911 here. Me and Joey still see stuff on TV. We’re like, “Holy crap.” Like that is insane.
Like every time I see it, I’m like, “Oh my god, I can’t believe that happened.” And all the weird
stuff that was associated with it. People didn’t know where planes were. Uh was it flight was
it flight 95, flight 93 where they took the plane down themselves? Like just insanity. Oh,
I am getting coverage now for Valta. Espa guys, we are getting coverage for Levalta now. It’s
just going to be warm-up time. Yeah, it’s just uh just a bunch of ads I don’t need to see. So, I’m
going to watch that close, guys, and we get going. Yeah, dude. Okay. Yeah, Jeff Reno, nice, man.
Uh I know Charlie Kirk is pretty on the far on the right side. There’s also people far on the
left side. They’re all equally a little bit too polar opposites. I don’t agree with either
one that’s really super far. That’s not me. I don’t agree at all with the guy’s opinions.
This is Jeffino. But no one deserves to die. Yeah, exactly, dude. No one deserves to die because
you disagree with someone else. Like, you don’t uh I’ve seen people say the organizers are
favoring Yonas to win the Vela because of his of the parkour changes. I mean, seriously, didn’t
they see what? Yeah, guys, I don’t think it’s really a big conspiracy that they’re trying to let
Yonas win. What what else can they do? What else can they do? Uh they’re just trying to protect the
riders that are there. There is one Israeli rider on the course. Like imagine being that poor dude.
Like I feel bad for that guy. I don’t know him. He doesn’t know me from a hole in the ground, but I’m
like could you imagine being him? They all know he’s actually an Israeli and they’re taking all
their frustration out on him. Like it would suck. the Ardesh women’s race today. The state was
council do a strike among local law enforcement. Dude, exactly. I miss the days when you could go
to an airport uh and not go through TSA and meet folks at the gate. I know. Yeah. T Ro, maybe we
all need to be in the middle. Yeah. Try not to get so diverse, like so extreme in your views. Like
guys, there’s things I don’t agree with, but I’m like, “Okay, but under that circumstance, I could
see that why someone would want to do that.” Like, I’m really like that. Again, I like to think
I’m the master of the benefit of the doubt. Um, guys, let’s just shortly quickly abortion, right?
Some people, yeah, some people against. There’s t there’s a time and place for everything.
We can’t just say not allowed or yes, fully allowed. There has to be kind of a
central area, a doctor consultation, all that kind of good stuff, right? Anyways, I don’t
want to even talk about that really, but yeah, be in the middle. Be in the middle. Okay. Uh,
let’s see what is going on. Well, here, guys. I will get to the race itself. Yeah, they’re just
giving me the feed early here. First rider doesn’t go till 2:35 local time. That’s Oscar Reese. Wish
I could say his name properly. He’s 32 years old from the Netherlands, 1.91 meters tall. kind of an
all-rounder. Decent climb, sprint, TT, GC rider, Dan Hoo. Let’s take a look at this guy here, guys.
This is someone I’ve already thought about here. This guy goes out super early. He’ll probably
set the fastest time of the day off the rip. Uh, juggernaut of a human being. 1.98 meters
tall at 81 kilograms. His stats are maxed out in the TT. I think he’s the fifth rider
to go out today. Uh, fifth rider to go out. Viviani goes out right before him. Soar and
Craig Anderson will be heading out too. So, and Craig Anderson way down in the standings.
Uh, working for team leader Chicone and Person’s RNA Merritt. So funny. Someone asked me about
RNA yesterday. I had to look him up. Yasper Phillips’s going very early. Ethan Vernon, uh,
the other sprinter, Israel Premer Techch sprinter. who’s got nothing to do with it. So, we
will be getting out there soon, guys. Yeah, extreme views get more clicks, all that
matter stay, but no one deserves to end that way. And I didn’t agree with anything Kirk said.
Yeah, a lot of people didn’t. Um, you know what? I bet you I think a lot of these people folks like
the extremists. I bet you if you met any of them they’re extreme right, extreme left, extreme up
or down. I bet you if you met them in normal case, hey dude, what did you think about the uh
stage 16 of the tour of France? Oh dude, it was freaking awesome. I loved it,
man. Bro, yeah. Okay, let let’s Hey man, you want to be here? Yeah, quick. Everything’s
cool. And then you start talking about the stuff and then all of a sudden, oh, then it gets Okay,
dude. I’m not I’m not really there with that. They’re probably overall pretty okay people,
but their views they’re so passionate about that they get extremist about it. And that’s
not the way we should be doing things. Maybe they should just have the 27 km for the top 10.
Impossible would be Dude, that’s a good idea. You know what they could have done? I don’t know why
they didn’t do this, guys. How about this? So, this course today is 12.2 kilometers.
Why wouldn’t they do an out and back? So, they said they’ve got security. They said they
could only do a Maybe that’s what it is and I don’t know yet, guys. I haven’t actually
seen the map. I haven’t seen it on video. I’m just trying to look at the profile, guys, and
see if it looks like an out and back already. How do I see the map now? I think if I come back
here and go to stage 18, I might be able to see a map here. If I click on this one here and
not go into live stats. Yeah, there is a map. This probably would have been a map of
the I guys, I actually don’t know. Was this a map of the original one? Yeah, but
if it isn’t if it is just a straight 12 km, why wouldn’t you turn them around at
the end and go back the other way? Man, I should be in charge of the Espña. Is I solved
the guys? Case closed. Case closed by Colin. Yeah, the next 18 years of raising a kid makes you
question your decisions. Uh T Roven, I don’t think Ghana is the super favorite for today. Shorter TT
doesn’t really suit him. I would not be surprised if he didn’t win. Yeah, guys, I think it could be
any one of the big riders. Like I mean, let’s take a look at Dan Hul again. Just let’s talk about
him. Uh third place at the team time trial at Lualta earlier this race. Of course, that’s a
team event. First place national championships Netherlands in the individual time trial. Guys, if
you’re the national champion in the Netherlands in the individual time trial, you’re pretty fast.
That was over 31.4Ks as well. Who did he beat? Uh he beat Dylan Van Barl. Uh Hubarts. I think
he’s still at the race here. A Bogard Render Rink. Just looking at all the names you guys. I mean
the Netherlands is stacked with great cyclists. And you can see them all here on the pro teams.
Picnic, Posanel, uh, UniTet, Teta Rockets, Q36.5, Sudall, Team, JCO, like they’re all there. What
else has he done? Individual time trial at Jiro de Italia, first place overall. Luca Depa,
that was a 28.6 kilometer race. Who did he beat at that one? Oh, he happened to be Mr.
Joshua Tarling. Let’s just take a long pause right there for that one, guys. Video is coming
through now. Video is coming through now. We’re going to get ready to get hot here, folks.
Let’s get hot. Get hot on the line. Get hot. Come on, Yonas. Let’s see if any of the
cars today have 30 bikes stacked on top, guys. I think they’ve uh disallowed that now. Uh, who would be the best world
tour racer ever on this course, current or ever? Dude, a 12 kilometer time trial. Dude, I I think some of the actual
prologue specialists from the past would probably do really well on a 12 km
course. There’s no climbing. It’s flat. So yeah, this watch out for this dude right
here, Dan Hoo, right away. Watch out for him right away. So back in May, he beat pretty much
the world’s best time trist uh Joshua Tarling. This dude, this guy’s very, very fast. So this guy
won stage two of the Jirro Tyrann to Trana 13.7K. How did Dan Hoo do at that one? That’s how
we can figure this out here. So Dan Hoo at that same race, the JRO, he got sixth at an
event that’s about the same length. So Josh, Primos, Jay Vine. Okay, guys, good names to think
about here. Jay Vine apparently is pretty smoking hot over this same distance. I’m looking at
a race from the G earlier this year that was uh 13.7 km. We’re racing 12.2. too.
There’s Mr. Mads Person who finished just behind Dan Hoo. Brandon McN is not
here. Brandon will be racing. I think he’s doing GP Quebec and GP Montreal. Oh,
Yuso can do pretty good over this distance just to kind of get a ballpark, guys. And
obviously, you know, like they’re not going to repeat the same performance every day. I
I told guys in my Discord yesterday, guys, I said, “Remember guys, they’re not machines.
These these people are human beings.” People always forget that they’re not machines.
They’re humans. They can’t do the same performance every day. They’re not going to be
perfect every day. Yeah, Chris Boardman. Boom. That’s who I was thinking of, dude. Uh over an
event like this, a short shorter event. Yeah, they can just smash it. Fastest ever time trial
under 10 kilometers was set by Chris Borman. Canelar would do well. Of course. Yeah, he would.
Uh Chris Borman, I don’t know what even what the longest time trial would have been for Chris
Borman because Chris Borman was around when it was like really short prologus at the start.
I’ll have to look at his data better. A little guy named Remco. That’s what T Ro been saying.
Ankatil, Tarling, Pogy, Borbin, good show. Yeah, Borbin is definitely a good shout. So, if you go
fastest ever time trial at the Tour to France, they kind of goo uh group it goofily.
It’s under 10k and over 10k. Well, guys, over 10k could be out to 60 km long. So, I don’t
think that’s a fair one, but the fastest ever was Rohan Dennis. What’s happened to that guy now?
Like, what became of his life? I don’t even know. Uh you guys know his story. And if you
don’t, someone will tell you in the chat. Oo, Reebeak was the first rider to be suspended due to
the UCI’s yellow card system. In the 2025 Balawa’s Belgium tour, he received two yellow cards. Hey,
Mr. Danny Van Pppel. What about that guy? Uh, under 10K, fastest ever at the at the Tour to
France. Remember guys, just to the tour to France, it’s Chris Borman. I think that was around a
seven or eight kilometer prologue time trial. Oh, and you know what? The Rohan Dennis one I think
was only 14 kilometers. I can probably look that up offline, guys. Yeah, I mean, I’ll do that
offline. I’ll give you some stats on that here. Actually, the best place for me to do that is
here where I can actually see what I’m doing. fastest uh TT tour to France. Again, I don’t
know why they do 10K and over. Yeah. So, yeah, this it’s it’s goofy how
they compare these things. So, Roy and Dennis breaks the fastest tour to France
time travel record. This is in 2015, guys. This may be a little bit outdated. I don’t think it
is, though. So, Dennis’s course was only 13.8Ks. Uh, okay. Uh, what a terrible article. Just give
me the data. Not all the the dumb stuff. Okay, here it is. Uh, fastest stages in tur of France
history. Flow bikes. These are the time trials. Should be time trials here. Actually, this is
from flow bikes. Non TT. So, we’re not going to worry about that. Okay. Fastest stage. Non TT is
this real tour to France. Uh this is a few years old ever. Mario Chipellini full chipo uh fastest
prologue ever at the tour to France again. Yeah, this is just tour to France 1994. Chris Borman at
55.152 km an hour. This is a 7.2 km time trial. Uh in Dublin in 98 u 5.6 km time trial. So that’s
why before when someone mentioned Boardman I was kind of like yeah but he was really good sub 10
kmter. I’m not sure how he do over 12 but yeah still a very good guess. Kchelar’s got a lot of
them like after Boardman but he wasn’t as fast as Boardman. Boardman was faster like over the same
distance boardman was a faster time trial. So, here’s a dude. This is really cool to see. Chris
Borman circa 19 mid90s compared to Fabian late 2000s into the early 20110s. Bordon was a
faster time trialist over the same distance. Uh, fastest team trial because they’re
not showing any of the other ones. Fastest individual time trial
over 10K is Rowan Dennis in 2015. Um, let me get back here, guys. I’m just hanging out in the wrong spot. We will
be going out pretty soon here. Okay. Uh, okay. Cool, guys. They put a second time
check in. Aaron Aaron was the one that asked that we have a second time check now. So, now we
have a time check of 4K. Thank you so much, race organizers. You’re making this a lot more
exciting now. So, we have one chime, we have time check one, time check two, and finish check.
So, we’ll be looking at all that data as it’s coming in. Okay, I’m getting excited now. I am
getting excited now, guys. You can see it coming. Is the individual time kilometer hour record live
today? Uh, headwind or tailwind or both? Okay, I’ll have to figure that out. Cassidy
saying audio is too low. Can barely hear you talking. Really? Did I turn this down? Um,
you know what? I might agree with you. Let’s go this way. My audio should be pretty maxed
out, guys. Actually, you know what? Is it, guys? I got to do something here quick. I
got to figure out my mic here for a second. Someone said the same thing yesterday, too. And I
can tell, too, that it looks like my mic volumes aren’t as maxed out as they normally are. I
wonder why. Why is that? Audio input capture, guys. I just need to No, I’m on I’m still on the
same audio input capture, guys. I’m just going to have to talk a lot louder today. I think usually
when I snap my fingers, I can max this mic out. It looks like it’s down a little bit. That’s too
low. That’s too high. Strange. I don’t get it. I’ll try to talk super close to the mic
Cassidy here. See how this is going to work. Aaron, I guess the Aerobul Remco would be good,
but he probably better on a longer one. Yeah, dude. I think Remco would prefer a
longer one than a short time trial. Boardman held the hour record.
Okay, so yeah, he can go long. uh travels with Tony. Ghana and Milan both
at 4 minutes flat for the 4K track world record. This is 12 km but flat. I’d like
to see Ghana bounce back from it. Yeah, dude. Me too. Ghana’s just been gone for
the longest times. Hasn’t really done much in the last couple years. Yeah,
guys. I don’t know why. Like Cassie, if it is low, I apologize. Uh because I’m
seeing it here too that my volume seems low. It is maxed out. I do have the volume turned up
all the way. Okay, there we go again. We’re back. I Okay, I just muted myself. Yeah, guys, there
we are. I think so. I’m looking at audio input capture. You can see the bars going up and down.
I think it could be higher than that, too. It’s probably going to be uninstall everything,
like disconnect the mic, put it back on. Uh Jeffino Remco would have the weight advantage
of constantly breaking and accelerating in. That’s why I thought Ghana had a higher chance of
winning. If it was full 27 km compared to the lighter guys. Yeah, guys. Once you get
the big dudes out on course at full speed, they’re pretty fast. Once there’s acceleration and
stuff like that, then it changes because they have a harder time accelerating out of the corners.
Let’s go. Reese, set the mark. Okay, Don’s saying I sound fine. Yeah, guys, anyone who’s
uh dudes, Aaron, Jeffino, everyone else, Aaron, uh Don, if you guys think it sounds different,
I’m actually I might have just been convinced into thinking that. I do think my audio input captures
low. I do think it’s low. So, you know, when you see the little bars going across, usually when I’m
this close talking, it will be in the red, which obviously seems to fine. You know, guys, I’m going
to unplug my mic quick and try to plug it back in. Okay, now I have no Okay, there we go. Okay, sorry about that, guys. Might be kind of
loud in your ears. Yeah, we’re just going to have to deal with it for now, guys. That’s
all I know I can do. I do have a really, really nice headset uh with a mic. It’s
like a really nice headset. Where is it? So, I got this baby here. Maybe
you can see it. It’s a super nice headset with a super nice mic on it. Um,
it’s even got like the huge jack plugin, not the little chintzy one like you use on
your phone. Like, it’s serious. It’s heavy. Um, maybe I’ll start using that in the future.
I don’t really like wearing a headset. Put that over there, guys. I’ll figure that
out later. I should do some trials with that. So people think that Gana has an even higher
chance now that the TT is shortened. [Music] I would say Ghana just he’s going to
put out 500 watts the whole way, guys. And yeah, we are off, guys. Reys already out
there. We have uh let me just have a quick look, guys. Yeah, so Oscar Reese’s already gone.
Next writer to go is Dan Hoo. We’ve got two other riders up behind him right now. I don’t
have any video. Oh, hang on. We do have it, guys. It’s all We’re going to get the whole time
trial, so we’re not going to miss any of it. The uh rider for Kofi is out there. Enelowski Annie
Elcowski just starting out today, guys. I’m going to have a good look here. See if I can see any
flags on course and see why this I’m going to figure out soon here, too. Why couldn’t this
have been an out and back? Lots of flags here, guys. Lots of flags. And they’re not the Spanish
flags. This looks like Dan Hoo warming up now. Amazing how hard they warm up, guys. This
is something I’ve been watching a lot. Like this dude here. This must be Hool here. Uh he’s
he’s still warming up. And what’s crazy is Okay, that video is delayed, guys. Sorry that video
is delayed. He’s going to be warming up until like one minute before start. He’s going to
rush to the start line and then he’s gone. Sora and Craig Anderson will be going
soon, too. Let’s try to g guess the average winning speed. I say 56.2K an
hour. Good guess, Tony. Good guess. Okay, Don saying his hearing
is good. Aaron’s guessing 55.8. Uh, let me see here, guys.
Let me see what I would say. What would I say? Oh, I got
to jump out of that there. Uh, yeah, I I’ll say 56 flat. I’m going
to go right in between, guys. Guys, everyone’s going to be guessing the same number.
Should be around 56 somewhere, you would imagine. You’d think. And I’ve got everything on
screen here, guys. Vivian’s going out again. Slightly delayed guys on course right now.
You can see the little gaps again guys. I really wish I could make this top part change
up like it puts some of the riders names off the top of the screen. Uh respicks out first.
I can see the second place rider is already uh got a gap coming after him. Already got
a gap. So let’s just let it go for a bit. We’re through timing point one already. Two
riders are through timing point one. We’ll get those numbers coming in. I’m going to try
to remember to not click that. And you can see that Dan Hoo is an early favorite. How can you
tell that? Because PCS is talking about him. Uh, best TT results for Dan Hoo. Oscar Reese Beck
through the first time at 5 minutes and 22 seconds for 4 km. Yeah. So, the time point
is just under 4 km. It looks like 522.17. and he went through there at 44.697 km an hour,
which doesn’t seem very fast, does it? That doesn’t seem very fast at all. Time trial results
for Dan Hoo. Uh first place stage 10 of the uh Girro De Italia this year, sixth place in stage
two, third place at the Bellwis Belgium Tour. He was fourth at the Tour of Denmark. Guys, we covered that race here. We covered
that race. Dan Hull was at that race. That was stage five. Okay. The Renui tour,
he got seventh on stage two. Tour Voluoni, he got fifth. Okay. Sorry guys. The tour Denmark
was from a couple years ago. I’m saying going, was he really at that race? So, yeah, he’s
got some really good time travel results. Most recently, the 2025 Jualia
stage 10 first place in that one. So guys, this is going to change real quick. I
mean, look at the distance all difference already. Time point one, Patrick Eddie comes through at
4 minutes 50 seconds faster than Oscar went out. So the 527 time quickly dropped to 4 minutes 50.
Some of these dudes, what do you think? Under four minutes? Like at four minutes? Just over four
minutes? Something like that. It’s all about pacing yourself. Dan Hoo’s on the course. Dan Hoo
is on course. I can see him coming here now on the video. Uh coming to the first checkpoint
over here. I wonder if it’s worthwhile using this here today. Sometimes if we get decent
data here, will this work out well for me? Uh yeah, this one here doesn’t even show the
location of the riders right now. That’s strange. So that’s the course we’re doing, guys. Again,
I don’t know if that’s been Yeah. Yeah. Well, they’re showing the two checkpoints. So, I’m
thinking it is an out and back. It looks like they come to the end here, do a quick loop around.
Yeah, they do a quick loop around here on these roads and probably come back the other way. So,
maybe they have done a loop around and that’s why it got shortened so bad. The race here. Um,
are they going to let us see any times? Oh, table mode. Yeah, this is how I did it before.
Okay, I was doing this before. here. Dan HooL through the first checkpoint at 446, guys. I think
I might have that over on the side. I’m going to open that up in another page. Do that in another
page, too. Times are just going to keep dropping all day, guys. So, I have faster times coming
through over that site. So, what I’m going to do is I’m going to open that up in another page. It
will close. We’re going to pin this here. I think we don’t need this open now. Close that tab.
So, yeah, you can see over on this page here, guys. This is from LVwell to site itself. This
might be a really good place to watch it. I use this for all the tour to France. We got 10
riders started so far. 143 riders still to start. This coffee is very disappointing to me.
I’m thoroughly hating this coffee right now. Not liking that coffee at all. Yasper
Philipsson is out on course guys in his helmet that is somewhat similar to Space Ball’s
helmet. Not as good as Yonas’s helmet coming up. Saurin Craig Anderson through at
4 minutes 56 seconds at the first checkpoint. He’s four 10 seconds behind Dan Hoo. What I should do is change all this up.
Yep. I’m going to do this over here, guys. Uh maybe I can do this here. Walt I think I’m going to use this data here
too as you guys watch that the route live. Take it out of T put it into table
mode. Okay, there I’ve got that there. How am I going to do this? Okay guys, let’s get to the chat. Yeah, Reese was quite slow. Very slow. Paparina’s
got a tickle on A. Dude, that’s a good one. Alec Cigar is a very very good time trialist. Um, Lotto
or Kofides Lotto. I think he’s a lotto rider. Why don’t I know this? I should know this by now.
We’ve been talking about him all week. Yeah, Alex Cigard is Lotto. different jerseys. Yeah, dude. I
think that’s a good one. Let’s take a look at Alex Cigard here. Papa Marino’s got a little tickle on
him. Uh he is ranked as a very good time trialist. If you look back here, and I did cover this one,
this the 2025 edition of the Postnord Tour of Denmark. I watched this race live at 14.3 km. Pop
Marino. Nice one, dude. Nice one. Bang bang time for Papa Marino. 14.3 km. very similar to today’s
length. He got second place overall. Uh the rider that got first place is not even at this race.
The rider that got first place at that event, um I think he’s just going to the big team next
year. So he’s 22. He’s racing at Le Future Racing this year. He raced for Leo Trek at the Tour
of Denmark, jumping to the big team next year. This guy won that uh stage. Uh that’s very similar
in length to this one. So Alex Seagart there got second place there. Um seventh place at the
Bellwis Belgium tour in the individual time trial. 9.7 km that one. God I love doing this stuff guys.
I love doing this. So those are about the uh best results we have for Alex Zagart recently. Dude,
I think that’s a good one. That’s a good one. Oh, take a look at the front here, guys. Respec, uh,
and Alakowski and Eddie are all kind of smashed together. Respec’s losing huge time. I think
Eddie’s making up time on the second place. They’re both making up time on the first place
rider overall. Uh, look at the time that HooL’s making up on Viviani, guys. Absolutely smashing
it. Viviani sprinter, not a time trialist. He’s going to get caught by HooL just after
checkpoint two. Just absolutely motoring here through checkpoint one. Still Dan Hoo in first
place at 4 minutes 46 seconds. Average speed there was 50.3k an hour. Jasper Philipsson goes
through uh first checkpoint, guys. Uh quite a ways down. He’s 30 almost 34 seconds behind Dan
Hull. Oh, here we go. Here we go, guys. This is interesting. Now, Ethan Vernon just comes through.
Fastest time at checkpoint one. Ethan Vernon, the sprinter. Let’s take a look at Ethan Vernon
here. Okay, it does that a lot, doesn’t it? I can do it here. Ethan Vernon, good time trialist,
better sprinter, but this is where someone said, okay, what’s going on here? Uh, we’ve got a rider.
He’s very disappointed in something. He’s flailing his arms. Oh, that’s Dan Hoo. Something happened
to Dan Hoo out there, guys. I need to back this up for a second. I’ll try to tell you. This
is him riding. Then they cut to a replay. He’s just throwing his arm in the air. I don’t
know what that means. I think he looks good. And then it continues on. Looks like no mechanicals.
I don’t know what was affecting him there. Uh what was affecting him there? I’m just trying to get the video live. I was
rewinding it. So, Vernon, someone said earlier, it might have been Aaron. Uh, not sure
who said it. Some because it’s short now, some of these sprinters are going to
have a chance of hanging in there. Ethan Vernon is up there right
now. Uh, 50.6 kilometers an hour. Just going to have a quick peek at this guys.
So, Ethan Vernon went through at 444.77. Uh, what are we looking at here? 444.7. Okay. No, that makes sense. I got the
second checkpoints coming through, too. At the second checkpoint, Dan Hul is
first through at 9:05. This is what I like to see now. At the first checkpoint, Dan Hoo
was 1.5 seconds behind Vernon. This is where we’re going to see how strong they’re riding
now. Dan Hoo has passed Viviani on course, guys. We should be able to see
that here. Yep, here it is. So, almost three quarters into the stage. Uh Dan
Hoo makes up a full minute on Viviani. Red Bull Boro Hanssboro boys warming up right now. So,
when when they show Dan Hoo warming up earlier, just absolutely dripping in sweat. dripping. Like
these guys really go through the full process of a full warm-up, do their events, full cool down.
I do neither of any. So, I’m terrible at cycling. Uh, contemplation. Has anyone in inside Cycling
World chat ever warmed up longer than the biker that if you have, you are probably Dude, Erin,
that’s hilarious, dude. You read my mind, dude. This is how I warm up. I turn my music on, find
Metallica, step on my bike, start pedaling. That’s it. I never warm up. I know it’s terrible. I got
to refresh this. We just lost the data. Okay, there it’s back. So, you guys can watch those
little charts and stuff. I’m thinking I might do this over here, too. Oh, Ghana is heading out,
guys. 137th overall in the GC. He’s 3 hours and 39 minutes down. Come on, Ghana. Let’s go, bro.
Well, let’s go. I might do this here too. Um, Lavalta, see if I can do this over here. Just
trying to get my data the best I can, guys, for you. Let’s go live. Can I do this here? Accept
all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we’ll go into table mode. That might be too bright now. That might
be too bright for Colin. Too bright for Colin, guys. I’m going to close that down. Put
that back there. And back to Lavalta. Dan Hul is going to have a nice finish time
through the second checkpoint. Ah, look at this guys. Vernon had it at the first checkpoint
one and a half seconds over Hool as we went like double the distance. The second checkpoint is
at 8 kilometers. It flip-flopped. Wow. So H was down by one and a half seconds at the first
checkpoint. Now Vernon is down by Oh, sorry. We just have checkpoint one. Eddie Patrick, that’s
what I was seeing there. Okay. Gotta keep waiting, guys. Got to keep waiting. Ah, look at
this. It’s It’s very close though. It’s very close through timing checkpoint
two. Vernon just is holding off uh who will by maybe half a second. Who will
come to the finish now? He will be in the GC hot seat right away. End is ends up 29 seconds
faster than Patrick Eddie for picnic past NL. So, Hul will go into the hot seat temporarily.
I’m not sure Vern is going to knock him off right away. Vernon more of a sprinter than a
time trous, but when you shorten these down, the sprinters can hang in there. Yeah,
dude. Aaron, I’ve never warmed up. I just like honestly I turn the music
on, I just start pedaling. Cool down, I’m even worse. That’s why I’ve noticed some days
I’ll get off the bike, I’ll wait 10, 15 minutes, sweating, sweating, sweating. I go have a
shower. I come out. I need to have a second shower because I’m still so saturated with heat.
It totally makes sense to do a cool down now. 55.7 since there’s a bit more
cornering, but it’s shorter. So, still really high speeds. Yeah, there is
there’s a full turnaround at the end too, guys, where they’re really going
to be going, you know, 25k an hour, something like that. So, they’re going to
have to accelerate. Here comes Ethan Vernon. Uh, where is he? Okay, he’s
chasing a merit now. He Oh, I think Vernon’s past Philipsson.
Did Philipsson go out before Vernon? What’s Philipsson’s time? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Philipsson’s very slow. Philipsson is not a time tri guys. So cool to see this. I think this
is really fascinating. You think Yasper Philips, man, he’s the world’s best sprinter. No
one can beat him. Yeah. You know what, dude? Over eight kilometers. Ethan Vernon
can blow him out of the water by one minute, guys. At one minute over eight kilometers,
you can’t even see that guy anymore. That’s how fast Vernon and Hool are compared to Yas
for Phillips. So really, who is the better cyclist? Who’s the better cyclist? I know people
say, “Well, who’s the best?” Depends what we’re talking about. Depends what we’re talking
about. Who’s the best at accelerating at the end after being tucked into the GC all
day, riding a lead out train, being smart, being tactical? Yasper Philipsson, who is very
fast out front by themselves, no shelter from the wheel, no hiding behind cars, no relaying
with teammates, probably one of these dudes. Uh, the course is pretty technical. There is
quite a few turns out there as well. So, I think it’s um Jeffino saying here uh with
the cornering might be a little bit uh it’s going to be fast but not as fast as it could be
if it was just a straight out and back. Ghana. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. If you have one
mechanical today, dudes, you’re screwed. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. I got I d I’m trying to
catch up here. I’m scrolling back and then I lose it all. Okay, don’t do that. I gotta figure
this out better for uh streaming. I would love to see where Lorena Vivis could in this TT dude.
Yeah, I think there’s I think there’s probably a huge difference. Lorena Vibas is an incredible
sprinter. Like, man, every time I see her, I’m like, “Holy crap.” I want I want her
shoulders and her arms. Like, she is just jacked. Someone will get close to 4:30 for the first
segment. Yeah, absolutely. Vernon going through already is at 444 through the second checkpoint.
We have Vernon at 9:04 at the finish so far. Dan Hool 1319. Ethan Vernon should be getting there
right now. Ethan Vernon’s getting to the finish line. He’s probably within a few hundred meters of
the finish. Watching him now. How close I I got to study the finish, guys. Uh, he’s got 15 seconds
in the green. In the green. When I say that, guys, I mean he’s ahead. When I say the red, he’s
behind. 877 six in the green. Five in the green. I don’t think he’s going to get it. He’s not
going to get He’s pushing to the finish. Pushing, pushing, pushing. Dan HooL keeps it, folks. Vernon
just slows down at the finish and is about two seconds back. 54.8 kilometers an hour, guys. I
think we could see close to that 56. Uh Ethan Vernon is not an allout time trialist. Again, this
is different because it’s a shorter time trial. Wait till we see like guys like Ghana out there.
Uh some of the other big time trialists, Cigart. So, currently it is still Dan Hoo. So Vernon lost uh just over two seconds to Hul between
the second checkpoint and the finish. Looking at the stadium here. Estario Jose Zor
Zorelia must be some famous soccer player, football player from the past. Oh yeah, guys.
I love looking at this stuff here. I’m I’m like who’s ahead of who? At the beginning,
you can see the gaps. So, there’s Oh, cool. Emanuel Gabri Zabier is just out on course
now. He’s like the second most recent rider to go. You can see him chasing Dylan Manbarl.
Kind of memorize that distance in your head. That’s time checks. I can see right away Van Van
Barl is starting to catch Brian Kard. Ben Turner looks like he’s still about a minute ahead of
uh looks like this dude here, Deputter. I think Deputter here is on a slow day and Turner’s
catching. Hard to tell. No. Yeah, that’s what it would be. It’s so close in the early in the
race. They wouldn’t have caught each other in pass. So Turner is catching on Deputter here. Uh
look at Ghana closing on looks like Rosen. Roisen most recent through the checkpoints. Actually,
you know what? If I use that over there. Yeah, let’s just keep that there for now. I’m gonna
go hover over here. I can do that here. Okay, guys. Just talking to myself. This is what Joey uh
Who are you talking to? Colin, who are you talking to? Just myself. So, best time first uh through
Dan Hoo. 13 minutes 19 seconds, guys. Smashed it. Uh yeah. Okay. Where’d the pooter go? Uh
Ben Turner went through at 525. That’s 41 seconds down at the first checkpoint. Through
the second checkpoint, we’re still talking uh Vernon was first through. Dan Hool second. Dan
Hoo still first at the finish, guys. I think it’ll be like that for a little bit here until Ghana
comes through. I’m looking at Ghana now. Waiting for time checks on Ghana. How good. Actually,
Ghana, guys, was 3 seconds behind at the first time check. So it was Vernon first, Hool second,
Ghana third at 3 seconds back. So Ghana is going to have to start picking up speed here in the end.
There is He must be at the turnaround point here now. Quite a very very slow speed turnar around.
He’s at about 8 and a half minutes into the event. Superstar time trrollus here. I’ll
uh just jump back over here, guys. Yeah, not enough kilometers to make
it up with the watts. Yeah, exactly, dude. If you have a flat, if you drop a chain,
uh you’re going to lose 30 seconds is over. Yep, Gan’s out there, guys.
We’re going to watch him closely. Yep, this is where So, I’ve got it slightly
delayed here. I’m seeing where he’s coming through slower. Going to catch totally up. I’m
probably going to rip and get a coffee, guys. Uh, sportsman Philly. I changed my fantasy
pick from uh, Remy Cavana to Vernon. Vernon, good pick, dude. Sitting in second right now.
I will come back over here, check these stats, and I’ll just keep jumping back and forward.
So, yeah, you can see here at time check two, before time check two, Gana had already
passed Roy and just like flew past him. Dolman Novak here looks like he’s not having
the greatest time trial because the rider ahead of him is already finished and there
should be a closer gap than that. Slightly uphill on the finish. Just a false flatty
uphill there. Look at Dylan Van Barl back here. He’s really closing in on Brian Card
right away. Ben Turner might catch Deputi’s out there. Uh I think this is Fabio
Christian here. Is that Fabio Christian? I’m going to open up another page, guys.
Oh, and here we are here at the Copa Sabatini. Still eight riders out front.
1 minute 20 second back to the Pelaton. Uh Isaac Del Toro there, guys. He’s going
for another win today. Going for another win. Let’s see what we can figure out here. Deputter was through the first time check
23 seconds down. So, not a bad performance. First place through uh the seco. Ghana’s
moving up, guys. Ghana’s moving up as we speak. Ghana goes through the second
time check at approximately 8 kilometers. Uh 9 9 minutes.77 seconds first place.
So, Ghana has now moved into the lead, guys. That’s almost 4 seconds faster than
Vernon did it. So, he’s in the zone right now. Rocket time. Here we go. Rocket time
for Ghana. I’d love to know his wattage, guys. He’s probably pushing out here. Like, a
guy like Ghana over a short one can probably push 500 watts the whole way. It wouldn’t
surprise me at all. What do you guys think? Venga, like the blue touch paper. Can anyone break 13 minutes? 13
minutes, dude. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they can be under 13 minutes. I think like one of
the big time triers can break 13. But just just uh Don, when I used to ride 100 km rides, I would
start with a 10 mile ride before jumping in the car to get to the event, then ride 10 miles after
I got home. Yeah, guys, I’m the absolute worst. Abs. So, when I do like a hard ride inside, you
know, where I’m pushing, for me, three watts a kilo for, I don’t know, half an hour type thing,
like hard for me, I I sometimes just step off the bike and throw a towel over my shoulder and just
walk around. I need to sit and spin a little bit. Yeah, exactly, dude. Jeff Reno, he’s taking it easy. Why would you ask for go
full speed? Yeah, you’re right, dude. Yeah, he’s got to rest his legs. there’s a
chance he could win a stage tomorrow. Uh but obviously they all have their skill
sets, right? Ghana coming to the finish, guys. Gana should be getting through here now. Oh, he’s still coming. Gana’s about 1
kilometer out from the finish. Maybe 1.2 km uh at this point saying is a 30 second gap. I
wonder if Yeah, the data here just jumped on me. So, Ghana, I’m watching the finish line
here. Gana’s going to come across nicely. Huge, huge time gap, guys. I just saw so his
little line on the screen was way behind and I’m watching my video here. I’m going, “No,
he’s in the barriers already. That can’t be 1 kilometer.” Then it showed his time gap way in
the green, man. His legs, I got to say, those are some hot legs this dude has. Those are some
nice legs, bro. Nice legs. Uh Gana smashes it, guys. Ghana comes through. 13 minutes. 89
seconds, guys. So he almost shattered into uh the 12minute range. He took huge timeouts. He
was only 3 seconds ahead at checkpoint 2. Over the next four kilometers, he took another 15 seconds
out of Dan Hul. Wow. Impressive. Impressive. Can Yonas do that? What do you guys think right now?
Let me know. Do you think Yonas can do that? Uh Erin, second you. Colin, second you on the
need for second shower. Yeah, dude. Must wait 20 minutes. Time to drink a chur. Yeah, dude.
Like I have a shower. Sometimes I’m like, “Okay, I’m done the shower, you know, got myself
ready, deodorant, all that kind of stuff. I put some clothes on and then I’m like, “Holy
crap, I need another shower.” Because your body is just a heat sink and it’s trying to vent all
that heat out. Having that shower just I’ve done this several times where I’m like, “Okay, I’m
going to need another shower.” So basically I just kind of do my chores and later on the day I
have a second shower. I need to cool down better dude. I know dude. How do you say deputter?
Is it departer? It’s probably deer but pter pter pter. That’s for you bee flares. I
hope you get a giggle out of that. Yeah, gana smashed it guys. I’m going to catch up here
guys and Jeffino be flares. Haha. Exactly. Uh, as a Dutch speaker, I’m Flemish, but he’s doing
great now, dude. Yeah, I I I butcher the names. Uh, I butcher your names. I’m sorry, guys. Yeah,
soccer guy. Stefan [ __ ] Don’t forget about him, guys. Don’t forget about [ __ ] I don’t know
where he’s actually starting today. I’ll have a look at that here quick. What I should do here
is uh let’s make sure this is all updated because I know the data kind of screwed up there before.
Like I was watching it here, guys, and I’m like, “Okay, Ganana’s 1.2.” I think I said and then I
looked over here and he’s already in the barriers. Yeah, we got some protesters flags. You know
what, guys? You’re a protester. Keep your flag off the course before I give you a beating.
I mean, these guys are cutting the course. Mads Person’s on course, guys. They’re hanging
their flags on poles out into the course. Like, get a life. Get a life. You’re not
accomplishing anything. Go away. Uh yeah. The table views are more accurate, guys. I can do
that, too, if you want. Um, what’s the best way to do this? I could do this, too, guys. I have
that up as well. If we go to table views here, this is the way more accurate way to do it. What
I’ll do is, guys, I’m going to bounce back and forward. What I hate about this one, it doesn’t
give me a representation quickly of who’s catching and who’s gaining, but we can do this here. So,
yeah, this is the most accurate way right here. The stuff up top is delayed. In fact, the
stuff up top was delayed over my video feed. Person rocking and rolling, guys. So, I’m probably
going to just bounce back and forward between the two. So, let’s have a quick look here. Uh, I will
give it a refresh to get as quick as I can. Uh, Person. Yeah, Person’s of course he’s just
over kilometer 2. He’s about halfway to checkpoint one right now. And See if
we have any more changes at the top. I’m going to look at the top just the top 10 here
guys. So Ghana Hool Vernon Maleberg pretty decent time here but he’s 35 seconds back in fourth
place. Sa and Craig Anderson fifth place at 43 seconds back. That’s the kind of I think Ghana is
going to be sitting there for a while guys. Ghana will be sitting there for a while. Who is warming
up here? Trying to figure out who this rider is here warming up. Got the headphones on. Got the
sunglasses. Nasal strip already on. Let’s go, buddy. Let’s go. Riders next to start, guys. Remy
Cavana, Bono, Eddie Plankard. Oh, the Oh, liders that have just left. That should be last riders.
Let me just have a look here. Yeah, it always goes out of table mode. Cavana will be next. Is that
right? Or they’ve just left. Last ride to start. Departure times. Okay. I need departure times. So,
the next riders to go arc B&B will go be Gern Remy Cavanaia. I’m looking at video. He’s on course
now. Nicholas Sukowski is coming up guys. Nicholas Sukowski Q36.5 Canadian rider from Quebec. Uh
we’ll be heading out at he’s the next writer to go apparently. Next rider to go live. Oh dude. Yeah.
Sombrero. Remember that dude? Sombrero for Red Bull Bora Hounds Grower. He went through the first
check. Let’s come back up here guys. So first time check which is delayed here. He is through the
time check. It’s just a delay to get the times. Yeah, it’s quite delayed. There we go. Uh, so
Sombrero went through Sombrero. Matteo Sero, he crashed in the in the team time trial back on
stage five. Crashed in the team time trial. Um, did get back on actually finished pretty
decent. Surprised he finished. He hit the ground hard. He probably rolled full a
full three, four times. He is over 20 seconds back at time check one in ninth
place. Jake Stewart had a good time, too. See if his name will work here. And I knew
you’d say not valid. I knew you’d say that. Uh, but Jake Stewart had a good time here. He’s in
eighth place at time check two. At time check two, Jake Stewart is in eighth place currently.
I’ll come back here. Now, what we can do is I wonder if it would show me more here.
See all through here maybe. Yeah, there’s Jake. I got ninth place through that checkpoint
there. Israel premier techch rider, fast rider. Just update this here quickly. Ghana pretty
much spot on. 13 minutes flats. 23 riders have finished. 37 have started in total.
So there’s riders on course with 116 still to go. Windsor light 7k an hour. Mads Person
through the first checkpoint at 444. Nice job, dude. Nice job. Look at this. Mads
Person, sprinter type. Fast man. Uh goes through at the same time as Vernon.
Can he hold it, guys? Can he hold it? Oh man, I have to Yeah, I got to get these eyes
fixed. Nasal strips all around, guys. Guys, I got to back up here. I’m so far behind. I’m
sorry. I’m going to turn this up a little bit. Uh, sorry for the shine on my face. You
get to see Colin looking greasy. Um, Drew’s in the mix here. I’m trying
to get some pronunciation for my Deuter. Uh, what is the difference between being Dutch and being Flemish in the Netherlands? They
just speak different languages, right? It’s one parts Flemish, one parts Dutch, one
speaks Flem, guys, I don’t know. I’m lost. Uh, Matt in downtown Las Vegas at the
Elcortez. Dude, are you in Vegas right now, dude? Paticia, that’s Matt, guys. Hey, Matt. Bro,
thank you so much for your very generous donation to buy me a coffee, guys. Matt stepped up and
hit the ball out of the park yesterday. Uh, sent me an extremely generous donation,
dude. Really appreciate it, bro. Uh, so Matt, uh, Pat, sorry, Patia Matt in downtown Vegas at
the Elcortez, there is a new Asian spot called Hot Nudes. Oh, dude, I love it. Hot nudes. Hubart’s
getting ready to go. uh intermareteer wanty guy. They kind They kind of have a very strange
looking helmet as well. He’s got the sunglasses on. He doesn’t have the visor. It looks really
weird to me. Not as weird as the uh Visma one, but yeah. Okay, I guess it’s not that bad.
I’ll give the guy the benefit of the doubt. So, Matt Person is first through at the first
checkpoint. Vernon second, Hul third. Uh, Filippo Ghana at 3 seconds and
then Remy Cavana at 5 seconds. Hot nudes. Everyone loves hot nudes,
guys. So, I think uh Matt’s just saying he’s there. I’ve never I’ve been to the
Elcortez. Just walk through it. Yeah, Gan is getting pastor Rick Freintello right now would be a very spe Yeah. Uh, okay. So, Matt
saying good morning. Good morning to everyone. Nasal strips. I got the special pink ones that
uh Vizme uses. Not really. Mine are just from the local pharmacy. I just use uh band-aids. Band-aids
are a piece of tape. What is hot nudes? A club, restaurant, bar. Oh, dude. It’s all of the
above. Hot nudes. Yeah, noodle. It’s probably got to be a noodle restaurant from Soccer Guy.
I agree with you. It’s just a noodle restaurant, but please note the funny word play. Hot nudes,
bros. Matt’s Person should be at the second checkpoint right away. Matt’s Person first through
the second checkpoint. I same time as Ghana. Exact same time as Ghana. Oh man, wouldn’t it be cool
to see Person break under 13 minutes? I would love to see Person get under 13 minutes, guys. I
really wish I had a spot locator for him here. I’m going to show you where he is on course, though.
See if we can get rough approximation. So yeah, Person is kind of just through the second
checkpoint. So Brero looks like he’s closing in on uh Nicolo Beltran Kahu Rail Rider. Okay, then the
data disappears and doesn’t come back unless I refresh it manually. Cavana, take a look at his
location on the map here, guys. This is delayed, but this is really good to see who’s gaining
on who, who’s losing to who. So Cavana here is gaining on Bono. at a very rapid rate here. Person
is absolutely flying. Uh Sabrero is gaining on Nicolo. Person is pulling right up on Srira.
I don’t think he’ll catch him by the finish, but it’s going to be very close. Nicol Nicholas
Zukowski’s out there as well. At the beginning, you can see they’re all kind of spaced
good here. Gernalik, Zukowski, Bear, Bear. This dude here way back when, guys. This
is our polka dot jersey wear right here. Hubarts. Uh yeah, guys, looking pretty sharp here. Looking pretty sharp. I’ll come back to this
one here uh for the better data checks. Can Person beat Ghana? Can Person beat
Ghana? Juel Jensen’s out on course now. Bear comes through the first checkpoint.
12 seconds down. That’s pretty decent. 12 seconds down. First checkpoint. That’s
going to put him in the top 10. Let me have a quick peek at this here. Yep, that puts
him in eighth place at the first checkpoint. Uh, watching here. Gan still first
place. Male Berg had a nice one, too. 36 seconds down gets you fourth place. That’s
how fast the top end is. Let’s see if Person can do it. Remy Cavana should have a decent one as
well. Known as a really decent time trialist. Yeah, Ghana was flying in the last four
kilometers. That’s where he made up all that time. He was trailing at the
first checkpoint. He was trailing uh Vernon. At the second checkpoint, he was still
trailing. And then he put a huge gap into them. Uh Aaron, they should have sent
out riders based on odds and not time as there are not wind or weather
advantages for waves of riders. Yeah, I know Campon Arts introduced the nasal strips
to the rest of the team. Copa Sabatini is live on YouTube right now. Dude, it’s also on
flow bikes. So, it is on flow bikes too, guys. I will jump into Copa Sabatini right
now and just to see what’s going on here. Still eight riders out front. Uh 120 gap back
to the Pelaton. So that’s where we’re going to find Isak Del Toro and all the other riders
that are in contention. There’s still 44ks to go to the finish. I’m wondering if
I can jump into that one too over here. Here comes Cavanaia through the second checkpoint.
Cavanaia here through the second checkpoint. Uh let’s have a look what it’s going to tell us.
Well, that’s funny. Oh, they’re just showing us time. They must had a different time check out
on course there. Or that’s really behind. Let me come up to this one here. Second checkpoint. Yep.
Here we go. Remy Cavana uh is through. 3 seconds down. That’s pretty decent. Pretty decent. And
I’m surprised finishes. Sabrero is eighth place at the finish, but he’s 108 down. This guy’s
a really good time trial, too. Remember he did have a really bad crash earlier on. Person comes
through first. Ooh, Person falls apart in the last stretch, the last four kilometers where Ghana
was able to accelerate. So, Ga Person finishes 21 seconds behind when he was leading at the second
checkpoint. So, on the last four kilometers, he lost 21 seconds. Ghana on the reverse gained
I believe it was 18 seconds in that final checkpoint. So there’s a 38 second difference
there in performance. So Ghana lit it up. Person just faded. It’s still going to put to third
overall. Vernon gets bumped down to fourth. Berg into fifth. So it’s kind of that’s the hard thing
about the time trial. How do you kind of like empty the balloon really fast at the beginning and
then have nothing left? That’s how I look at it. Uh oh, Matt’s in Seattle. Okay,
so Matt’s in Seattle right now. I think I visited Seattle twice
in my life, maybe three times. Okay, Dennis. Dennis, welcome aboard,
bro. Hey, brother. Flemish and Flanders, French in Wonia. Okay, that’s right. I do
know they speak German in a small part there. Yep. Okay. So, Flemish and Flanders, French and
Malonia. So, guys, yeah. Was Eddie uh what did Eddie Murk speak? I don’t think he spoke Flemish.
Did Eddie not speak Flemish? Is that right, guys? I think I’m right about that. because I think in
the past they used to say um yeah he’s not a real Belgium because you know I don’t know if that’s
true or not Brussels is multilingual from Belgium over here dude Dennis thanks for being here bro
and letting us know Flemish is Flanders guys in Flanders French and Wonia guys there’s a race the
tour of Woney uh that’s a really good race too Belgium equals Flemish and Woons speaking
Dutch and French respectively Okay. Yeah, Ghana had a nice ride there. Three podium
girls. Not only Not only do we have podium girls, you get three podium girls at the uh Copa
Sabatini. The Italians kicking it old school, guys. I like that. They’re like, “Yeah,
whatever. We don’t care. We’re having podium girls. Bring them on. Let’s
have 50.” Uh, hot nudes. That’s a joke, guys. That’s just a goofy joke. Okay. Hot
nudes. It’s a noodle place in the Elcortez. Uh Jeffina, no. We speak the same language as
the Dutch, just different accents. I’m not Dutch, though. The other official languages are Belgium
are French and German. The least spoken. I did look that up a while ago. I have a good friend,
Reuben. Ruben Hoes, H Os. I don’t know how you say it. Uh I ride with them quite a bit on Ruby.
Not recently. Reuben had a huge bike crash early June. I’ve been doing other stuff. Okay. So, he’s
Belgian and Flemish. Dude, I guess it’s the same as Canada. So, like Canada, you know, we got our
provinces much like your regions there. But if you’re from Quebec, you identify as a Canadian and
Kebebqua. You speak French. You’re Kebqua because you’re from that region. 31 likes. Hundreds
of you. Yeah. Hit the like button if you can, guys. Um, let me get back to the table stats
here, guys. I realize I’m hovering on something I shouldn’t. Uh, it’s outdated now. I can see Flow
Bikes is completely stalled out here. Hopefully, we get that working again. Data feed
from the world tour not coming through, guys. So, Ghana super impressive at the
end of that 4Ks. Uh, the third split, let’s call it the third interval for Ghana. He
just dominated it. I mean, he’s got 19 seconds over Dan Hul. A really strong time trialist uh
at the finish line there. Okay, I’m going to come back here for a second. See if I can see any
funky looking splits going on, guys. Here we go. Actually, I think Vary I think Barry’s having
a good ride right now. He might be having a good ride. It looks like he’s actually catching
Zukowski. Look at the gap between Hubarts and the rider behind him here. huge gap there. Like
there’s almost like you could put another rider in there. That looks like, you know, a two-minute
gap. So, I’m going to watch really close on that one there. Uh Hube Arts. Yeah, take a look. Hube
Arts through the second checkpoint is in third place right now. Third place through the second
check. He was firth at the first check. 3 seconds down. 3.9 seconds down. Third at the second check.
Uh 1.04 seconds down. So Hube Arts is flying, guys. That’s why we’re seeing this just gigantic
gap here. Absolutely flying. I still think there should be another rider. There’s been some
weird stuff happening here. Could have been a mechanical out on course. these riders here too.
Van Boven and uh this rider here for Q36.5. Oh, that’s really hard for me to see right now. Uh
something’s going on there too. Looks like Van Boven’s moving quite fast. I’m going to come
back to this one now, guys. Remy Cavana, where is he? Remy Cavana come out of table mode again.
Colonel X finished. Cavana coming to the finish. uh will not be getting to the leader spot
here, guys. I’m looking at it right here. Remy Cavanaia is third at 21 seconds down. So,
that final stretch looks like a lot of guys, even including some of the time trials and the fast
long range sprinters, they’re going out a little too hard and they can’t maintain it. Ghana was
able to just get faster. Ghana wasn’t the fastest all the way. He was not the fastest at the first
checkpoint. In fact, he was only fourth place. He was not the fastest at the second checkpoint.
He was tied and by the third by the finish, he put like 19 seconds in that final interval.
So, he’s getting faster as the co course goes on. Yeah, JD Adventures it was supposed to be, but
the protesters were protesting so much that in the security of the racers, they’ve shortened
the uh time trial down to 12.2 km. So, we’re all ticked off about that. Uh, this is really going to
affect the outcome of the race as the time trial is a place where you can take some good time out
of your competitors. So, we won’t get to see Jiao make back as much time as he might have. We won’t
get to see Yonas take back as much or take more time. Uh, looking at this one year too, Hube Arts
again guys, it’s Wow. Ghana is so impressive to me. Hubarts was 1 second behind at checkpoint two.
Let’s just say four kilometers ago. By the end, he’s 26 seconds behind. So, he lost another 25
seconds in the final 4 km. Whereas Ghana just got faster. Ghana pulled back 19 seconds in that
final 4K. So, that that’s what it’s going to take to win this thing. Yeah. So, JD, unfortunately,
we’re not going to get the full uh event. Let’s see. They cut the chill store. Yeah. Safety
reasons. Safety protester reasons. Really? Safety of the riders,
safety of everyone, I guess. Erin, I would also like to have a ITT that
has all riders with bike, kit, helmet, etc. So more things equal. Oh, everyone on the
same equipment. and let’s see who has the goods. A little like swimmers having the same tech
suits. Okay, dude. That’s a good point. Yeah, like in some car racing like uh Formula 1, there’s
rules, but everyone kind of does things a little different. I think it’s in like an indie racing.
I think all the cars are identical and I think they all run even the same engines or they
used to or that’s that’s kind of the concept. Yeah. Hard to catch someone who can ride at
60k an hour for the final four kilometers. Just crazy. Yeah. Ghana is back, guys. Wow.
Wouldn’t it be cool to see Ghana win this? Would it have been extra cool if you would
have been under 13 minutes into the twelves? Uh Jeffino Campernarts introduced
the pink ones at of a specific brand, urges other writers to use
them. Okay. Different brands. Yeah. On your PCS page. Cool to
see that riders move. Yeah, guys, I like to flip back and forward here. This
data here on the dark page from Loalta is way more uh up to-date and accurate, but I do like
seeing this too. I really like watching this. It’s kind of lets me speculate as to what’s
going on. Like we can see right way right here. Look at uh Olivea here. Evo I think
this is Evo Olivea. Yeah, Evo Olivea right now is catching Garcia Cortinho catching him
right now. He’s pulled back that gap already. It’s not. It’s pretty easy to look at this too.
Don’t assume oh maybe well what if Garcia Cortine passed him? He wouldn’t have passed him in
four kilometers. Uh I’ve had to tell myself that too in my brain. I can see Rickert’s just
started. Bookman’s out there. Oh, this guy here, guys. Uh, if you’re looking at this screen here,
third place writer out on the screen right now, I think his name is Petili or something like
that. That’s a dude that got crashed out by protesters. Well, didn’t get crashed out, but he
was brought down by the protesters one day. Uh, it wasn’t on camera. I heard about it later.
So, they are interfering with the riders. They’re not peacefully protesting. I guess
you can say, okay, they’re being peaceful, but what their actions are doing
is actually hurting some riders. There’s been at least two cases where riders
have been brought down that I know of. Uh, and many other cases where riders are reacting,
lifting banners over their heads mid-ra. Uh, there was that one time where the race was
completely stopped. The breakaway of three riders was completely stopped. I think they did
say 11 or 12 people were arrested there. They did arrest them apparently. And the cops I saw there,
they must really love cycling because the one dude had his baton out. And he was kind of flinging
it around a little bit if you get my drift. Hubarts at the finish looks just
absolutely fried. He did that time trial. So he’s 26 seconds down in sixth
place. 54.4k an hour on his cube bike. Nice time trial. Just nowhere near Ganas
though. Nowhere near Ganas. Van Boven moving nicely here. Let’s look at the most
recent stuff coming through guys. Uh I’ll bounce back here quickly and see what we got
going on. Yeah, I wish it would just stay in this mode. Stay in this mode. Juel Jensen
comes through. Um 1 minute 29 seconds down. Yeah, like that’s what a time trial shows you
guys. That’s what a time trial shows you. Like how strong these riders are. Here’s Cot Pierre
Andre Cotay. Um, no picture for this poor dude from Canada. Rides for Israel Premier. Yeah,
Hubarts went through third one second down and lost 25 seconds in that final four kilometers.
Ghana, he’s the man right there. Garcia Cortina comes through. Second checkpoint, 39 seconds down.
So, he’s going to end up losing more time. Just constantly going downhill as energies deplete.
Going to keep an eye on Oliver here. Looks like he’s got a pretty decent time trial going.
Rocking and rolling. 57 58k an hour at times. Eddie speaks speed on a bike. No talking
needed. Exactly. Dave, good to see you, Dave. Uh, oh, it’s saying Eddie was born in Flanders
and spoke Dutch and French. Okay. Yeah, I thought I heard something recently that he
didn’t, so sometimes they were a little bit eh. Evo Oliver. Okay, he is on a pretty decent
time through the second checkpoint. Evo Oliver is through um in sixth place.
Ibalabar threw in sixth place. Wow. Cotay for Canada, Israel Premate uh came
through looking pretty sharp here. Only one one and a half seconds down at the second
checkpoint right there. Great time for him. So first place Ghana, second place Hoo, Cavanaia,
Mads Patterson, Ethan Vernon, Hube Arts, Male Berg, Sa Craig Anderson, Patrick Eddie, and
Alisando Ver. That was the dude. Don’t do that, Colin, because that doesn’t work. You know that.
Um, trying to see where I can see his face a little bit easier. Okay, Evo, Evo Oliver is having
a very nice time trial here, guys. I’ll come back here for a second here. Get a better look at it.
So, Evo Oliv Olivier. God, I can’t say I can’t speak today. Uh 4 seconds down at the second
checkpoint. I’ll make up a nickname for him. Gamper just comes through at 38 seconds at the
finish line. Rulon, we’ve seen him out a few times at Lavaltto this year already. Uh is 1 minute 31
seconds behind at the finish. 1 minute 31 behind. Uh Dave, and if you’re from the Rock, you
speak Nofy. Oh, dude. Totally. And no one fully understands unless they’re from the
Rock. Guys, yeah, if you came to Canada, if you’re a Canadian from the west side and you
go to Newfaland, you’re like, “What country I’m in?” You can barely understand their slang,
their dialect. They’re speaking English, but it’s so it’s like a mix of Irish and
Scottish and something else. all slammed together. Nice time trial here for Cotay from
Canada. Uh Israel premier check rider. He sits third overall. Third overall, faster than Remy
Kavana. That’s an awesome performance for him. Pierre Andre Cot Israel Premier Techch just
absolutely smashes it. 20 seconds down on Ghana, but I mean second place is 19 seconds down on
Ghana. So this guy is right up there with the hitters. I’ll come back here now guys. I’m
going to do a coffee run right away. I think I need another one right away. Stat. Yeah, take
a look at this. Evo from UAE is catching Garcia Cortinia right now. Probably won’t catch him
by the finish, but it’s going to be really, really close. He’s going to be bearing down on him
here. Now, again, look at the gap between Gamper and Olivea. And the gap up front is so short.
That’s because he should be about the halfway point if they were going same speeds. He’s pulled
away from Gamper closing on Garcia Cortinho. You can see the same back here. This rider here,
Grul is catching up with Vanderly Rickert. Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff going on right here.
Bookman, Rickert, O’Brien, Otuba, Ga, David Gaud is on course. Vin Kurov is on course. Lots
of riders coming, guys. We still have 92 riders even to start yet. Uh, winds have increased.
Winds have increased, guys. 14 km an hour now. I’ll leave you guys here at the finish line.
Just on this one, actually. Yeah, I’ll leave you on this one. I like this one better. I like
looking at this one better if it stays active. I’ll quickly catch up with the chat. Charles,
didn’t know Nofi was so different. Oh, dude. Tony, I think part of your chat, Tony, you know what,
dude? If you did videos in Newfaland saying, uh, I went to Newfaland and thought I was
in another country. Dave can tell. Dave, back me up on this, please. Yeah, you’ll be
like, what? What did you just I don’t even know what you’re saying. Didn’t know. It’s It’s
really different. It’s Dude, it’s just their slang. They They abbreviate everything. They
say slightly different words. It’d be like, you know, I guess you could be from the southern
part of England and go to the northern part and the dialects are so different, but it’s so extreme
from say western Canada to Newfoundland. I mean, even from Toronto where Dave is, Dave would
sound nothing like someone from Newfoundland. Uh, Marcelo River here, close the page. Ghana
already won. Nobody beating 56 point. Yeah, I know, dude. He is very fast. Well, dude,
we still got Well, I mean, that’s the thing, guys. Ghana’s probably won it, but the big race
here today is Yonas Zinjao. That’s the big race. Ghana wins, but Zoe wins the stage. Hopefully, I
hope Ghana wins. Nothing’s going to change in the GC for him. Our big race is Yonas, uh, Jiao, and
the other riders there. Guys, let’s take a look at the actual GC. This is really cool. Important
stuff here. Uh the dudes I watched the most, they were they were kind of shocked by this uh
the Ricatello and Felix Gaul because I’m like, “Yeah, Ricatello is right up there.” Rico is only
two seconds out from Gaul right now. So Yonas has got a 50-second lead over Almeida, Pitcock at
228, Hindley at 304. This is going to be an important battle here today. Problem is, I think
Rkatello is such a small lightweight climber. He’s probably going to lose time today to Gaul.
Gaul is a bigger rider. He’s taller. He’s probably a better time tri. Just kind of my guess, my
speculation at this point. So guys are competing for the GC. They’re concerned about these times
here. Every little bit’s going to count here. And we’ll come back here now. And you can see the
movement of Vineurov’s out there. Passions on the move. Uh, LeBron, Leo Leos for Decathlon, AG2R is
out there as well. Dathlon looks like it’s going to be a brand new team next year, guys. It can be
for the small towns that survive on fishing and and yeah, the Pogy. The Pogy. The Pogy guy is I
think what you guys in the UK would call the Dole. So people there, they work four, five, six months
out of the year and the rest of the year they live on government support. There’s no more fishing.
Oh, Olive has gotten a nice finish here, guys. Nice finish for Oliver coming up here, guys. He’s
in the green now. He’s going to be close. Olive is going to have a really good finish. I think he
might be moving to second place overall. I’m going to come back here right now and see if we see it.
Yeah, Olive second place overall, 11 seconds down, guys. And he almost caught the rider ahead of
him. Almost got that rider. So, Oliver finishes 11 seconds down at 55.5k an hour average. Get
back to our little images here what we got to use. I once worked, this is Aaron. I once
worked an Englishman from Naughty Hill and even though we both spoke English, it
took two weeks to stop asking him to repeat what he said. dude. And Aaron, like I think the
difference between like how a Nuofi speaks to uh your average Canadian is like so far beyond the
dialect difference in uh the UK. It’s just crazy. Yeah, I was walking and saw a rider
rocking a Maltini jersey. Of course, I shouted, “Edddy, Eddie, go Eddie.” Yeah,
dude. I got my uh retro one where he’s got the pink jersey. It says Maltini on it.
Oh, the Dallas. Isn’t that Doctor Who? Uh I Rockck Racing was like
that. Gave identical cars. Yep. Going to catch up, guys. Yeah. Sportsman Philly
Israel. Premier Techch riders will get very unpopular with other guys because they should
have pulled themselves out for safety reasons. They can’t be putting fellow cyclists in great
danger. I guess, dude, all I can say is that there’s UCI points. Uh, they got contracts to
fulfill. I think there’s so much behind it. It’s like they pro they probably want to like I
mean, yeah, dude. It’s It’s really complicated. If the one guy owning co-owning IP would
get out of the team rebranding. Yeah, basically I guess that’s what it would take.
They need to get the one dude out uh that is he’s American. He’s a hedge fund owner. He’s
not an Israeli. I think he has Israeli ancestry. They called the name after Israel. Uh it’s not
funded by the Israeli government, but it’s the fact that it’s Israel and obviously there’s some
connections. There’s no doubt about that. There’s some connections. Um yeah, they’d have to they’re
going to have to they’re going to have to sell the team. I guess they’re going to have to sell
their world tour license that they’re going to get this year. Evo Olivera. Really nice time trial
here. They’re that time I could say his name. Olive is going to take it easy, I guess, in
support of Almeida in the coming days. Dude, I think he went pretty good there. So, Oliveivera
right now uh sits second overall. 11 seconds down, guys. It’s going to come down to stage 20.
Saturday is going to be one of the best stages we’re ever going to see. Uh I would send an extra
thousand police officers there their officers or else just send the military. Okay, this dude
here uh Patil Simony Patili Intermar uh finishes over two minutes down. This is the guy that got
to taken down by a protester a few days back. Yeah, Cot had a great ride there. Tony C,
bro, thanks for stopping in again. Tony always stops in, gives me the like. Cutting
my time short because Lavalta is making me lavit with all the stage adjustments.
I love it. It’s kicking off at Copa Sabatini. All the big guns chasing down
the breakaway. Guys, I’m gonna get caught up real quick here. Cinnamon bread French
toast with uh blueberries and maple. Drew, you’re killing me. I’m on another one of
these today. It’s all I could find right now. Like I said, I was going to have a hot dog
bun. I honestly was. Puppy ate them last night. Yeah, they’re the protesters. I don’t
even know what to say about them. Okay. Travel saying a lot of the flags at the
finisher bas along with the Palestinian. Yeah, we’re always going to see the Basque flags. Uh
yeah, rest in peace Charlie Kirk and to my US friends. It is 911. Never forget. Colin,
hope you have a great stream today. Yeah, Tony. I never forget 911 either. I live in
Canada, but I will never forget that day ever. And I think a lot of us are up here. We
we still think about it. Cigar to start soon. Guys, let me have a look at that. David Gaud,
not bad really. He’s uh 41 second down at the second checkpoint. Jordan Leos is only 15
seconds down at the first checkpoint. I’m looking for big changes in the top five. Just
going to follow those quickly, guys, before I run away and grab that coffee. I’m thinking about
Gaudu is coming up to the second checkpoint. Oh, he’s passed it. I just mentioned that. Uh,
Sergio Giovani Chumil, Uruguayan Ryber has just started. Is it Uruguayan? I gotta make sure
about that, guys. I don’t Guatemalan. Sorry, bro. I think I’ve done this to him before.
Guys, are the Guatemalan and Uruguayan flags kind of the same colors? I think they’re kind
of the same colors. They’re nothing alike, but I think they’re the same colors. I think Uruguay
is the stripes that are blue with stars up here, maybe. Is that right? I’ll find a Uruguayan
rider. I think we have one here. Anyways, okay. Who’s out on course here? Dela Cruz out
there. Lebron Passions. Oh, we got a catch being made on course. It’s two riders of the
same team here. Oh, it’s Sagert. Alex Cigert’s other. I need his time. Where are his times?
Okay, there it is. Time checkpoint one. So, I’m a little bit behind you guys. Three
seconds. 3.05 seconds down at checkpoint one of Cigar. He’s catching his teammate
right now. Probably passing him on course. Will I see the catch here? Will I see the catch?
No, I don’t think I’m going to see it. Camera cut away. Didn’t get to see it. He’s ahead of him
now. Anyways, very strong time trial here, guys. Yeah, some of these turnarounds is what’s
really going to slow them down. Yeah, Cotay wanted to finish as fast
as possible. Yeah, dude. Totally. Yeah, Jeffino, I agree too, dude. Not all the
protesters are disrupting the race and they are the ones against the genocide. I respect that
type. Yeah, dude. Dude, I’m all I’m all for it. If you want to protest, just do it the right
way. Make sure your flags aren’t, you know, when they hang the flags, dude. And for me, it’s
not just a protest. It’s the It’s the psychotic fans. Okay, so cigarettes at the finish line
now, guys. I’m watching it slightly delayed. Uh, he will not be getting into first place. Let’s
come to this one. is probably finished now. Looks like cigarette’s going to flade uh sorry
fall back quite a bit in the following uh the last segment here. Ghana is looking very comfortable
sitting there in the hot seat. Cigar was 2 seconds down at the second checkpoint and he’s going to be
quite a ways down here now. He’s already at Okay, let me see this here. Where is he? Where is
Cigar now, guys? I need to come back here. Where is Cigard? Let’s see how he’s doing. It’s
at 9 minutes and 40 seconds on course there right now. Yeah. So, he was 2 seconds down at the second
checkpoint. That gives him fifth place overall. Interesting time here. Who’s this dude here?
Kellen O’Brien. Kellen O’Brien, who are you, bro? I just saw that time flash up. Kellen O’Brien
for Jacob Alula comes in just bounces into the top three. 15 seconds down. Kellen O’Brien. Can I
look at your name here? Are you going to tell me I can’t? Yeah, you’re you are going to tell
me that. Just does not like when I do that. He’s a Jake Ola rider right here. If I click it here,
it should work. Keller Bryant. Team Jolula. Time trialist. Definitely he’s his points are favoring
the time trial. Not all out superstar time trials, but he’s right up there. Third place overall
right now from Australia. Again, big dude, 1.95 m tall. This is going to favor
these guys. Actually, we should do that uh places based on height and probably see
that a lot of them are right up there. How tall is Gana? Ghana is 1.93. So, he’s taller
than me, too. These are big dudes. These guys are all Gana’s probably 6’4 guys in old uh
measurements. Old measurements. Ghana 6’4. So you can see here Cigar is still pulling away
from his teammate. Closing in on Vinurov now. Really cool to watch this stuff. Okay, I’m going
to catch up and now I’m going to go for my coffee. We should predict who finishes last. Yeah, gentle
breezes. 14k now. Just a gentle breeze, guys. Uh, yeah. I don’t like them putting the riders in
danger. People have died crashing their bike. Exactly, dude. So, when they’ve got people
setting up banners, dudes, at the time trial, when I saw I think it was a couple of women
that ran out on the course with a banner, I would have rode right through them. You
want to try to hit me down when I’m doing 58 59k an hour? You’re going down with me, lady.
You’re going down with me. Max Shackman has just started for Sudol Quickstep. I mean, they’re
stepping in front of the way of dudes that are like on the very edge, adrenaline jacked,
super hyperfocused, and just ruining it. Uh, okay. Europe has been kind to Israel
in terms of cycling, basketball. Yeah, dude. I don’t really know much about it. Oh, I guess Israel criticized the EU. Yeah,
everyone’s got their opinion, I guess. Oliver Air second. Yep. How about this Kellen guy in
third? Uh, what’s his name again? Oh, Kelland O’Brien. Kell O’Brien. Guys, I haven’t mentioned
his name once in the race. This dude right here, Kelland O’Brien, third place. Absolutely kills
it. And, you know, when I just when I see he’s in Australia, I’m like, “Yeah, okay. Makes sense.”
Uh, Australians are always really good at the time trial. So Garrett coming to the finish now, guys.
We know he’s already crossed the finish here. Just gone into the red. He will not be getting first
place. He actually finishes 16 seconds down in fourth place overall, pushing HL back to fifth
place. Kell O’Brien here, third place overall. Uh Aaron uh G beat Ricatello by
20 seconds in the last time and together. Motivation may change the results
today. Yeah. And and when I looked at it, Gaul’s not that much bigger than Ricoatello.
Like if Gaul was walking around at 6’3, you know, 80 kilograms, I’d be like, “Okay, Rickello,
you’re in trouble.” Because I think Rkatello, I think he’s like a 55 kg rider. That’s
why he does so well on the climbs. Um, Auso should be the next Marlin race. He can
beat Ghana if he’s going full boore. Yeah, Auso does have a good time trial,
guys. Has a really good time trial. Okay. Um, okay. I’m on that one still. I’m going
to come back to this one here now, guys. Uh, just so I can get the little dots going again here for
us. Again, if I could show you the dots on course, I would, but they’re not doing the dots for this
one. I don’t know why. Uh, at the Tur of France, they did. At the Tur of France, it showed all
the dots. At least I think it did. I might have to go watch my old videos. That’ll be quite
annoying. Quite cringy watching my videos. David Gaud, not bad really is a story of a cycling
career. I guess you got my commentary there, Dave. Aaron, Dave’s on his phone for the first
time. Dave must be off to work, maybe. Dave, what time is it there? Um, Dave’s two
hours ahead of me, so it’s after 9. Uh, yeah. Sportsman Philly, dude. Yeah, dude. It’s
so complicated to me. I don’t know what’s going to happen over there. Like I don’t know. I
don’t know. Guatemala, aren’t you all? Yeah, it’s the colors. It’s always colors. I have a
quick look at the colors. It’s that light blue and white. I’ll have to study them later today.
Guys, I’m all caught up. I’m sorry I got so far behind there. Um guys, I need to grab a coffee
because this one is lukew. And we still have a ton of riders coming. Guys, at this point, we
still have 76 riders yet to start. The important stuff is still to come. Obviously, I love the time
trialist. You guys know I love the time trialists. Very disappoint. Imagine Ghana’s victory if it
was a full distance because that’s what he’s good at. He’s good at going on the longer time trials
on a flat one. Trek re. Oh, that was wondering a replay. This looks like it kind of looks like
Sor and Craig Anderson to me. I don’t know why they’re showing that replay right now. That
was from way earlier in the day, I believe. Let me just figure this out here.
Why are we seeing him finish? Passions has just finished for team Bing
victorious. 2 minutes and 36 seconds down, guys. Over 12 km. 2 and a half minutes over 12 km.
These like these time travelers are good at what they do. So good at what they do. And I think
that’s a replay of Olivera coming through. Man, god, I love watching the time trial. One rider
at a time. You really get to have a good look at their legs. Yeah. Okay, I get it. Yeah, I
like their legs, guys. I hate to admit it. No, I love to admit it. Sorry. You like them,
too. Okay, guys. I’ll be right back. And we’re back, guys. We are back. Coffee
is coming in hot, folks. Hot coffee is over here. Let’s have a quick look what’s happened
in the meantime. What have I missed? Let’s go. And I’m actually going to drink all
this coffee. I’m going to drink it all. Dave saying GC Red Riders is going to lo the
most with the shorter stage and it’s going to be relative. They need to stick close to each
other. That’s the big race at the front there, guys. Keerman’s out on course. Uh Fisher Black,
Finn Fisher Black. Haven’t said his name a lot either this race. Hey is out there having a quick
peek here. Let me just get things figured out. Nico Denz looks like he’s flying cha catching
Gonzalez that’s ahead of him. Shackman has almost caught Herata. Shakman’s almost caught
her here. Let me get to this stuff here, guys. Give this a nice refresh. See
what we got going on over here. Guys, I do have some stuff I want to show you too over
the uh Grand Prix Quebec. Does anyone know where we can watch that? I don’t have that one on Flow
Bikes. Flow Bikes is showing the GP Montreal. Uh Kellerman went through the first checkpoint. Uh
31 seconds down in 15th place. Sorry, 53rd place. So everything’s still the same. Person through
their first. Person first through the second checkpoint. Ghana at the finish. Olivea, O’Brien,
Sagard, and Dan Hoo. That’s our current situation, guys. I’m going to come back here. Refresh that.
I’m actually going to drink this coffee this time. Coffee. Yeah, nature break. Yeah, refill.
Yeah, that was just a refill break, actually. Oh, Aaron’s saying the volume’s low now.
Everyone, I’ve got that a few times today. Okay. Yeah, Jeffino, I mean, I’m into women, dude.
Me, too. Okay. But I can appreciate God, their legs are chiseled, guys. And the only time
you ever really get to have a good peek at them, I think, is in the time trial. They like to do
the slow motion shot at the finish. Nectar of the gods. All good on volume. Okay, Ern. Cool.
You guys always freak me out now. Some like, what am I doing? Or when I show up, some people
said a black screen sometimes, which I know happens when I flip-flop, guys. So, uh, I know
this is probably over now. Let’s just see it here. No. Copa uh Copa Sabatini still going, guys.
Here’s the names again, guys. Here it is. Mark Hershey. Mark Hershey. Where did he finish at this
race last year? Last year at the Copa Sabatini right here. Gone. I’ve looked at this before,
guys. He got first place last year. Guys, Mark Hershey is a name we don’t say much anymore. He
won five races in a row. August 10th, August 25th, September 9th, September 12th, September 14th.
Five races in a row that he showed up at big races, too. Uh, so that’s why he’s at the front
here now. He’s a late season guy. John Christian’s there. Each del Torreso again. Richard Carropatz.
Uh, it is an uphill finish. So, it’s whoever’s got the most explosive kick. Auso starting,
guys. Vid delayed video feed. Auso has started. I’m going to jump back here now to Auso. Yeah,
Ausso is on course. He’s about 600 meters in right now. I’m just going to watch these dudes here, but
I want to keep an eye on the Copa Sabatini. And talk about GP Quebec. So, Copa Sabatini today.
I think it’s Thursday. Is it Thursday, guys? Uh, Pop in Canada, TVA Sports and CBC Gem
will be broadcasting the race. Okay. So, I’ll have to look into how I can get that on
CBC. Maybe I’m going to have to pick that up. I love the ladies, but can appreciate uh a dude
with chisel legs that have been conditioned. Yeah, dude. I love it. I love it. Or as uh Paul Sherwin
said one time, beautiful bronze legs. I like to drop that one once in a while. I’ll give you a
shout out for Khloe Diger for the best. Oh yeah, her legs are just freaking amazing. Like
amazing. And I think she can take that as a compliment and not in a pervy way. Like
she’s got like really well muscled legs. Uh, so does Lena. Take a look at Lena. Lena is just
built. Uh, Jem always forget that service. So, dude, Dave, is it easy for us to watch
on Gem? Is that a pay or is it just an app I can watch online? I think it’s
an app. You just go through CBC online or when riders are signing in and posing for
pictures. Yeah, that too. So, Dave, I’m going to have to look into GEM today. So, GP Quebec, I
can’t see, but I’m going to find out how I can. Shakman here is going to finish uh 35 36 seconds
behind Ghana at the finish there. Back to the Copa Sabatini, guys. It’s 9 kilometers to go. Each
del Toro, this dude here like Jirro delatsana uh yesterday. He won that race yesterday. On
Sunday he won GP Industria and Arches Genato. So maybe he’s going to pull off a Mark Hershey from
last year and win all of these late season races. Uh all the races that are in Northern Italy
there. I think that’s where they mostly are. Maybe they’re in the middle, too. Find the actual
location of them here. Auso is on course, guys. I’m going to bounce. What I’ll do is I’ll bounce
to this one here to get time checks. Uh everything looks the same. Finn Fisher Black comes through
in 23rd place. Pretty decent at 15 seconds down. Group two latest results. Wilco Kellerman came
through at 43 seconds down. Nothing else has changed there uh at the finish line. Herata has
just finished for Kofides. 1 minute 37 seconds down. Again, this isn’t going to affect anything
in the GC guys. It’s those front top 10 guys that we’re going to be watching really close. They’re
going to be fighting for their positions. Stefan Kung is out. Group F. Okay, that’s why I don’t
recognize him. Uh, I think he used to be on EF Education. I think that’s where he was. Stefan
Kung, uh, Swiss Rider. Good time trialist. Let’s see what he can do today. Niko Danz is finished
now, guys. 44 seconds down. Uh, in 14th place. So, good ride for Niko Denz here, too. I’ll take you
guys back here quickly just to have a little look. You can see uh, okay, so that’s really Is that
really dated? Yeah, that’s really dated there. It’s refreshed now, guys. Yeah, Kung’s out
on course. Um, Shaw’s out for EF Education. I think it’s Brandon Smith River here has just
started. Stick to that one. And but I do will come I’ll come back to the uh Copa Sabatini here.
7.7 kilometers to go. We’ve got a relie group of 17 riders. The biggest names here, Scarrone. Oh,
the era train riders there. Nathaniel, Richard Carropath is here. Oh, Benjamin Thomas, as I
like to call him. It’s actually Ben Tomas. He’s a French rider. Benjamin Thomas was in the uh guys,
he was stage one tour to France this year. Uh they were in the breakaway. I think it’ll show the
breakaway year standings here. Stage one Metropol uh tour to France here. They were in a 95 km
break. Him and his teammate did a sprint together and they crashed going over the top I think of the
first category four climb of the day. I think it was the only points on course. They crashed there
together. Of course, they didn’t win the stage. So, it’s Ben Toma. Just got a look at little
look at Gano there. He’s kind of just smiling at the camera. Front group over here at Copa
Sabatini is now been reduced down to 14 riders. Del Toro, Mark Hershey. Wow, I feel like I should
watch this one. Debbie Volering. Yep. Yeah, there any of these pro aletes are
going to be really well built. Aaron saying, uh, speaking of women’s racing, I’ve never seen an H rate. I
haven’t either. They must be camels. Aaron, I’ve not seen Hershey win for a
while, but that dude can pour out some watts, dude. Yeah. Like I mean we don’t talk
about Mark Hershey, but we should. Like last year, who wouldn’t want this guy
on their team? Like win win win. Look at all those UCI points he gets right there, guys.
Uh San Sebastian Classic, that’s 400 points. Bratannia Classic, 400. 200 for GP. 200 for
Copa Sabatini. I think the GP industria is No, it is 200. So that’s the one that is Ezek
Toro just won. Uh, Industria and Arjunato, guys. Next week I will be doing the Scoda tour
of Luxembourg. So, it’s going to be a crazy week, guys. Uh, and I do want to get to what I was
talking about here with the GP of Quebec, guys. I’m going to do that right now. Okay, let’s
talk about GP Quebec. It’s coming up this Friday. Uh, it won’t conflict at all with Lavalta. So,
that’s a good thing. So, guys, be prepared for two streams. When I say this Friday, I’m
telling myself I mean less than 24 hours from now. I will be doing this tomorrow, I guess.
I got to remember that. Gem is free with ads. You can pay in avoid ads, dude. I’ll just watch it
free with ads just to see what’s going on. Uh, I’ll get that. I’m going to find it today. Del
Toro on the charge. They have a ton of content. Okay, dude. Dave, I’ll check it out. Oh, at one
time at the first Degrassi series. I love it. Oh, yeah. That’s right. Last year he Hershey
was on. Erin, what are you trying to say, bro? When you say coincidence, I think. I love
that. That little just a just drop that in there, dude. Um, seriously. Yeah. Why does that happen?
Copa Sabatini here, guys. It’s splitting up again. Del Toro on the front. the Mexican rider from
Ensanada, Baja, California. Bento there and Ben Granger. Let’s take a look at Ben Granger here.
Look at this dude. What team is he on? Look at this continental level team he’s on. Hanging with
the big boys at the front. This is probably Yeah, this is a big deal for this guy right here.
This is a big deal. I’d love to see this guy win. I would love to see this guy beat Del Toro
just just because he’s up there. Just because he’s up there. Not a Pro Series team, guys.
Continental level rider. So, third step down. Hershey flying here, guys. And then I’m going
to jump into the Grand Pac. We’ll talk about that. We’re just going to stick here. We got four
kilometers to go here. Uh, super important race, guys. This This has been the 73rd running of the
Capa Sabatini. I’m going to say just the easy part because that first part, the Grand Priosa de
Pioli, is a little hard for me to say. Some people would think I’m almost Italian, but no, not just
joking. Previous race for riders in the break. Well, we saw uh Isaac win Isac win yesterday at
the uh Toscana. Bentoma uh did not finish Toscana. Uh Ben Granger raced on Sunday, got 21st place at
the same race that Isaac Del Toro won on Sunday. Industria. Oh yeah, Ghana looks super relaxed
there. I think I will pop away just for a second here, guys. We got 3.5 kilometers to go. Let’s
have a quick look here. Everything still looks good. I look at the top five names on each one.
Everything looks exactly the same. Okay, Stephen Kung comes through here. Uh same time at the first
checkpoint. So Stefan Kung is on the same time as uh Matt Person uh Ethan Vernon through the
first checkpoint. Can he hold it to the second checkpoint? I’ll give you a little glimpse of
what it looks like over here on the time trial. Just so you can see the dots. Fisher Black looks
like he’s catching this rider. Boo. Auso. Auso’s got some nice time here, guys. Okay. Yeah, I
just noticed Auso here. Auso is 11th through the second time check. uh at only 5.5 seconds
down. So Auso is not taking a vacation day, guys. Auso is having a good day right now. Auso
is having a very nice day. Sheffield is on course, guys. Watch this dude, too. Uh Magnus Sheffield
here. I know he was sick just a while ago. Uh Magnus Sheffield is an allout time trialist. Sean
Quinn’s ahead of him. I think he’s already being caught getting caught by Sheffield. Sephylveda
looks like he’s catching Rivera. Yeah, look at Yuso cruising in here on the Bergos rider dele
cruising in on him. Back to Kappa Sabatini, guys. Soccer Ben Granger, the long lost
cousin of Hermione. One year from now, will Del Toro live well? Dude, probably. Probably. Some riders get slaughtered onto the domestic
domestic mindset and just ride for the team. Yeah. Yep, dude. I did. Soccer guy saying,
“Didn’t you cover a tour called Renewi? I see the Renewi brand logo everywhere in the
Netherlands.” Yeah, dude. Uh, Renui used to be Benelux. Was it Benelux? Yeah. So, and I had
to ask and I didn’t know, guys. I don’t pretend I know things I don’t know. I asked. I go, “Guys,
what the heck is Benelux?” Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg. That’s what it was called before.
They’ve rebranded it as the Renui. I think it’s been that for a year or two now. So, it’s kind
of the new name. What does Reneui do? I think we might have talked about that in the race itself.
But yeah, dude, I did all that. I kind of covered that the way I do the Copa Sabatini because the
last two stages I think bumped into Lavalta. The Renewi Tour is an incredible race. Incredible
race, guys. We still have three in that front group. Highest profile score per victory. Uh,
I’ll have to figure that stat out there. Guys, look at this. Stars awarded in the PCS game for
riders in group one. 5,000 for Del Toro, 68 for Benjamin Thomas, zero for Ben Granger. Come on,
Ben Granger. I am pulling for the underdog here. This would be like the victory of his lifetime
right here to beat Isak Del Toro one. Isak Del Toro is like on absolute fire right now. Del Toro
doing all the work to increase the gap. Okay, so I’m behind guys. Book it. Kung will be on two
seconds behind Ghana at the end. Lars craps is on course. Do not want to be behind that dude. Big
Lars craps. That’s what they probably call him in the team. Big Lars craps. Uh, by the way, GCN
just dropped a tech video about buying team bikes. Very interesting info. Why is there a dog trying
to get in down here? Speaking of Luxembourg, were the Schllecks the last GC top 10 riders to come
from there, dude? That’s a good question. I think you’re probably right. Frank and Andy Schlleck. I
really like those two guys. I think and they just kind of vanished. Like I think Andy has a bike
shop now and he’s just content in retirement. Frank, I don’t know what Frank does now. He’s
probably like a cycling commentator on YouTube like me. Oh, Renewi is a recycling company. That
makes sense. Pretty easy on the name there. Uh 600 me goes. I’m just going to see who gets the win
here, guys. Uh then I’ll probably look at some highlights later. I just don’t feel like jumping
out of the uh time trial here. Watching Stefan [ __ ] right now on course. Attack by Bentoma
in group one, it’s saying over at Copa Sabatini. Yeah, come on. Bang Granger, dude. I just want to
see his name pop up. I’m just gonna look away for a second. Rhonda, hello. Uh Dave, what race being
aired on CBC Jam? The Quebec races. Yeah, Rhonda, I think GP Quebec will be on uh Dave saying it’s
going to be on Gem. GP Montreal I get on Flow Bike, so I’ll probably watch it there. Del Toro
is in first, guys. Del Toro, Bentoma, Granger. Del Toro is going to win another race. Each del
Toro, you thought Pogy was dominant, guys. This could be the next dude. Stefan Kung having a
really good time, guys. Stefan Kung is flying here for Groupama FTJ. How I’m watching this one,
guys. I know it’s already happened. He’s going to be close. I think someone said it might already
be. Okay. Yeah, he’s not going to catch him. It’s going to be close, though. I think someone might
have said he’s two seconds behind. I will. Yeah. So, there Isak Del Toro at 21 has 14 career pro
wins already. Yeah, Kung’s going to be maybe 10 seconds back behind Ghana. Uh, I think he’s going
to slot into third. Let’s do that right now, guys. Let’s come back here. Yeah, Stefan Kung for
Groupama FDJ 12 seconds down. Uh, third place just pumps down O’Brien there. Ghana’s looking pretty
happy standing up, walking around. Pretty funny watching him. Uh, you know, he’s feeling confident
but also nervous at the same time. Check the phone. Yep. Check the phone, bro. Nervous? Check
the phone. I love that. Stefan [ __ ] Nice ride. Uh, everything’s still the same at the
first check. I like to look at all them, review them. Second check, everything’s the same.
I was Oh, well, sorry. Stephen Stefan [ __ ] came first through there. He actually accelerated
between the first and second check. uh was 3 seconds faster than Pison or Ghana. Then Kung lost
a lot of time at the end. He lost a lot of time at the end. So kind of faded at the end. Again, guys,
it’s so hard to dose your effort on these things. Tired, but looks pretty satisfied with her. That
was a good ride. That was a good ride. Sean Quinn through the second checkpoint at 103 down. Going
to come back to this one here, guys. Let’s have a quick look. Oh, and we’re also going to talk
about GP Montreal, guys. We’ll do that now. Who’s on course here? Sheffield is catching. Where is
Sheffield? Uh, I’m looking for some times on him. Okay, Sheffield was almost 14 seconds down at
checkpoint one. So, unless he turns it around on the back end, uh, he may not be in the top
five, top 10. What we’re going to do, guys, let’s look at the GP Quebec. So guys, this race
is coming tomorrow. I got to imagine for me it’s probably going to I just I’m guessing I need to
figure this out. Probably starts midday in Quebec, 10:00 in the morning for me. Uh this is the
profile here. It’s a really nice profile. What I’ll do is I’ll come here. This is the
course. Maybe you guys you can probably see it all just as good here. Uh it’s a counterclockwise
course. Start finish is at zero here on the map. We’ll head counterclockwise here. We cut into the
park area. Uh do a little split around almost a criterion circuit on the streets here. We tuck
back into the park onto the main drag here. I think this is uh Rue Boulevard. Champlain. Is
it Champlain? Yeah, I think it’s Champlne. Uh along the St. Lawrence River. This part
here is pretty critical here. Actually, this leftand turn here is very critical. So,
City Circuit, 18 laps, 12 km per lap, 216 km in total. There’s 145 m of climbing per lap. So,
2610 m of total climbing, 5 hours of racing, guys. The climbing comes here at the Kot de la
Monten right here. I think they climb 60some meters in about 800 meters in total. What I
did is I’ve already got that pulled up. Well, I don’t. But uh I can look at this here and guys.
Okay, I’m going to work on this here for a second here. Quebec City. I’m going to pull this up right
now. I do want to show you this climb here. So, why don’t we pop into this here quickly? We’re
going to pop in now. There we go. We’re popped into Quebec City. So, this is for tomorrow,
guys. Here’s Quebec City. Where are you in the world? This is where you’re at. Here’s
Quebec. Where’s Colin? He’s way over here. Where’s those people we can’t understand? They’re
over here. Oh, and I was wrong, too. Dave brought up something. Where can you go visit France in
like less than two hours? It’s this. These are the islands right here, guys. St. Pierre and Mickey.
There’s people here, too. There’s people that live here. Um, yeah, right here. This is French.
This is France French, not Quebec French. This is not Canada. Uh, I think you can travel here even
without a Canadian passport. I think I read that at one point. Look, they have this little line in
between. I wonder if they fight over this island right here. I would I’d fight over Green Island
so hard. Get out of your France. This is Canadian soil. Uh, just kidding, guys. Um, I thought it
was these ones, but was wrong. I’m almost wrong, guys. Let’s go to Quebec City here. What I want
to show you here is this is we’re going to start somewhere up here. We’re going to come along, cut
through some side streets here, come back around, and we come down the boulevard Champlain here.
We’re going to be racing down this one quite a ways. Go past Kablanc. I’ve been here. Here’s
the fortification, the Citadel of Quebec. This is the Plains of Abram, guys. I guess big
battles back in the day out here. Come on. Juicy fruit those images up. You can do better
than that. Going down the main street here. Where is it? Now I’ve lost it. I think they take
a hard corner here. They come this way. Yeah, there it is. Right there, guys. I’m going to throw
you on the street here. It’s this corner here that I think is going to be pretty critical later in
the race. Obviously, not this way. That’s looking out to the St. Lawrence Seaway. It’s this right
here. This is the corner up the up the climb. So, this is the Champlain Boulevard Champlne. They’re
going to hang a hard left here. Let’s Why don’t we take a little walk down the street? Take a
walk down the street. You can see it’s called uh Kot de la Montenia and older buildings here.
This these might be some of the oldest buildings in Canada, I would imagine, or very old.
Anyways, uh we cruise up the street. Probably a lot of funky shopping down here. See guys,
can you I mean, just take a look at it. To me, just feels European to me. All these little
side streets. You can see the climb though. Man, I’d love to be hanging out right here. This is
going to be so important on the last lap. What did I say? There’s 18 laps. 18 times they come
up this hill. I think they gain 62 meters on the climb. Oh, there’s a restaurant there. You
should stop in. Didn’t want to look at that. Oh, I think I’ve stood right here. I’ve stood
right here, guys. Yeah, I’ve stood right here. Everyone stands right here and takes a picture
and looks down onto the side street here. Oh my. I found it. Guys, I mentioned this before.
There’s the finicular. There is the finicular in Quebec City. It goes up to Chatau Fontineac
up above. There’s a huge fortification up there, guys. Chatau Franconak. It’s a hotel. Uh it looks
like a giant fort. So, that’s we’re going to be passing out. So, I’ve I’ve stood there in my past
life. We keep climbing all the way up. Again, it’s about six It’s probably got to be an 8%
gradient. Yeah, it’s I think it’s 800 meters at 8%. Keep climbing all the way up. Uh and then
I think we take a hard Yeah, this is going to be fun to watch this stuff. Hopefully CBC has good
coverage. Uh there’s the Chatau Fontineac in the distance. So, a lot of cool stuff to see, guys.
So, please join me for that one tomorrow. Uh I think that’s going to be an absolute banger. Let’s
go, dudes. Let’s get back to the racing here. We’ll do some updates here quickly. Uh,
I like to look at the pictures first so I can see what’s going on. Give me a refresh.
Craps is on the move. Craps is moving fast, guys. Craps is flying. Craps is flying through the
air. I don’t know. I’m just trying anything there. Uh, backing up, guys. Okay. Select bros. The Andy Schlleck Alberta concidor drop chain
TDF was one of the best moments at the tour in the past 20 years. Yeah, dude. I love that one.
I think that was two. Was that 2011 or something? 112 maybe. Antonio Tibbery is on the
move, guys. I used to confuse the Select brothers with the eights. This uh
cable here is driving me nuts right now. Schllech Brothers Palmer’s versus the
Yates Brothers Pomers is a good discussion, dude. It would be, dude, that’s
you. Just give me a video idea. A shortened TD. Some of these guys are going
to let it all hang out. Surprise time to shine. Exactly. I love it. Massive climb on that course.
Rises from east to finish. Drew, are you talking about GP Quebec? David thought Sheffield was in
England. Uh 15:50 BST is the start time. I’ll have to figure out what time that is for me. 1990 World
Champions Men’s Race Montreal was last day of my honeymoon. Celebrated my divorce there later.
Solo, dude. How long did you last? Six years, Drew. I know you’ve told me before. You’ve
told this on the channel. I think you lasted six years. Rain like crazy 1990. Dude, you should
have seen the rain here last night. Like Hazel, the big dog, she was like, she’s one of those
dogs. Lightning and thunder freak her out really bad. like just shaking. Feel so bad for my
young dude Ziggster. The name is engaged, guys. It’s Ziggy and Ziggster. That’s his name.
It’s sticking. He doesn’t even care. He’s like, “What? No, I don’t care. I’m just going
to be a freak.” Uh Bob Young is on course, guys. Let’s go back and look at the latest and
greatest up-to-date stats here. Markeel Balaki is through the first time check. Not a bad time
here. Markeel Balaki, the son of Yosiba Balaki, is seven seconds behind at the first check.
Not bad at all. And at the first check, we’ve got a Dathlon rider through Sander Deastel.
First through at the uh first checkpoint. Uh, okay. That’s not what I want to do. We
want to come back here. I want to see all of the times. Oh, I guess I can do it that way,
too. But then I don’t see everyone else. This is just like the leaderboard here. Uh, you could
do it that way, too. You could do it that way. I like doing it the other way. I like doing it
this way. Then I can see who’s leaving. Scon’s leaving. Bob Jungles is on course. Departure
times. Who’s still to come? Maznat’s coming. Lorenzo Fortunado who unfortunately is falling
down the GC. Bagioli for Lee’s coming. Buy Ron the lightweight rider of the race. Clement
Braz Alfonso. Guys, I think this dude is 50 kilograms. He’s 110 pounds. 110 pounds. So,
Sandra Depestl first through the first checkpoint. Can he hold that? Is this just I’m flying
and I’m going to give her all today like like uh someone said here, just let it all
hang out. Got to talk into the mic. What’s your prediction for the top 10 GC today, Saka? Do you mean like do I think there’s
going to be any changes in the top 10 GC or how are the top 10 GC guys going
to do today relative to these guys? That’s right, Ronnie. Bro, Ronnie, we got our
lurker guys. We got a new lurker here. Ronnie, welcome to the channel, dude. Thank you so much
for commenting. Uh Ronnie Hol here. Ronnie, are you Danish? Just I’m thinking maybe the way
spelling your name, guys. That’s totally true. I could probably look it up real quick here.
Canada and Denmark have a little technical war. Uh I don’t know if they actually call it a war
still. They’ve been battling over this island. It’s somewhere up in the Canadian higharctic.
It’s probably off the coast between Greenland and the Canadian islands. Remember Greenland’s
by itself? That’s like a Danish. Is Greenland technically part of Denmark or is it more of its
own? It is self-governing I think though. So it’s Danish but they do their own thing. Um I guess
we have that here now too. There’s an island in between. It’s just a rock. And so the war is
that the day the Canadians show up, they put a Canadian flag and I think their tradition is they
leave a bottle of uh Crown Royal whiskey. Guys, don’t forget Crown Royal Whiskey made in Gimy,
Manitoba, right here in Canada. Guys, if you’re drinking Crown Royal, you’re drinking Canadian rye
whiskey made in a cool little town called Gimy. Also famous in the very late 70s for an I think
it was an Air Canada, an Air Canada 727 maybe, had to make an emergency landing on a basically a
drag strip. They had to make an emergency landing on a drag strip um because they didn’t have enough
fuel on board. That is the big highlight for Gimly. So that and they make Crown Royal there.
So yeah, the Canadians go and put a Canadian flag, drop a ball of Crown Royal off. The Danish showed
up. It’s not a good swap, guys. I think they put the Danish flag down and give us some pickled
sardines or something. I don’t know what they put there. I just made that up, dude. So Ronnie, dude,
thanks for being here and I’m glad you commented. Uh, Ghana unfortunately is
going to get topped by someone, tipped by at the line by someone. Drew
Schaefer, me too. Love Quebec. Yeah, dude. Quebec City is fantastic,
guys. Like, you have to go there. Canadians love being able to take
a weekend trip to France and no uh jet lag or time change. Poutine needs
to be on the menu tomorrow. Maybe a fish fry as well. Okay. RIP. Pipped.
Pipped at the foot. Yeah. Pipped. Uh, Montreal. Yes. Yep. 1996. My divorce cost me
$210. Dude, I love these stats. I love the stats. Drew got divorced in 1996 for $210, guys. Okay,
watching Balocki here, dude. Blocki comes through the second time check. This guy is absolutely
moving. I mean, he’s not going to be at the very very top here, but he came through the second
time check only 11 seconds down. Uh 11 seconds down would put him through that time check 14th
overall. So, it is showing that correctly. So, he’s still out on course. Bob Young’s moving
guys for Inos Grenaders. I think this is Bob’s last year of racing, isn’t it? At the finish
line, Langlotti comes through for Grenaders here at 58 seconds down. Ghana, Olivera, Kung,
O’Brien, and Cigar still in the top five. When CBC does any sport, they generally have
great coverage in camera angles. Yeah, Dave, they do. Look at Hockey Night in Canada on
CBC. Like, that was the best ever. Dave’s getting ready to start his ride, which I think
Dave, are you working or did you say? Dave, you I think you said you have every Wednesday off.
soccer guy in in Edmonton. There’s a thunderstorm every summer. It’s a tradition. Yeah. Ziggy. Ziggy
all the way. Man, I love that little dog. He’s so He’s so hyper, so crazy. Um I found out some
stuff like Joey works with the lady. She’s the grandmother of the girl that’s there. And yeah,
we were told some horrible stuff like I guess he got kicked around a little bit. Uh so that’s her
granddaughter. Oh yeah, my mom used to kick the dog around and Yeah. and kept him locked up all
the time. So that’s good because that’s not good. Now we know why he’s such a w and he’s very needy
and if you look at him the wrong way, he’ll go, you know, like if you like, you know, he’s trying
to race out the door and you put your foot out, he’ll yelp because obviously he’s been booted. So
screw that lady. Don’t touch my dog. He’s my dog. Uh 18 degrees Celsius and no wind or rain
predicted for Quebec tomorrow. Let go. Let’s go. We need Pogy, Dele Vout, a threeman
break on the last lap for fireworks. Guys, uh the climb is going to be fantastic and it’s
crazy. Like I’ve been there. I need to get back to Quebec City. Dude, World Championships is in
2026 is in Montreal. So, I’m going I’m going to go to that. Um and I’m going to make sure I get back
to Quebec City. And I’m going to make sure I visit some people out there, too. Uh, first dude I’ll
probably visit is Jills, who lives in Montreal and uh, I’ve been riding bikes with him for three
and a half years. Crown Royal is nice and smooth. I mean, who Sorry. I mean, who are the strongest
top 10 TT riders out of the GC top 10, guys? I’d say, yeah, you got to say Yonas and Jiao one and
two are the best TT riders out of the current top 10. Just looking at it here. Actual GC. Yonas is a
very good time trial. So is Jiao. I think Jai can put on a good time trial at times. I don’t see
it in the results there, but I’d have to start digging. Uh Peg. Yeah, it’s Jiao and Yonas have
to be far and away the best time trial in the top 10. So, we’re going to be looking for their time
gaps. They’re super important for us to see. Here, I can close this down. So, yeah, GP Quebec
is tomorrow, guys. Guys, did any can anyone figure out quickly for me, Dave, what time
is it going to start for me or what time does it start for you? I know someone said BST,
which I don’t know if that was British time or let me have a quick peek here. Fortunado
through the first checkpoint at 35 seconds down already. Sander Van Pesta, where’s he now? Um, okay. I’m going to come back here, guys. I
need to see where he is on course. Yeah, guys, I don’t like this graph I’m seeing right here.
If you look on PCS here right now, is that what we’re seeing? I think we’re seeing that. Yeah, we
are seeing that. Total time travel kilometers per year in Grand Tours. Now, I’m assuming Grand
Tours, they mean the three big tours. Look at it. back in the early 2000s upwards and over
200 to 300 kilometers of time travel trolling uh in the events now nothing nothing it’s just
downhill all the way most TT victories in Grand Tours Bernardino 26 Eddie Mks is tied with 26
Jacqu eniel migillin I think it’s Franchesco Moser Okay, Markeel Balocki. Where is this
dude? Where is Markel Balocki? Okay, he’s through. Pretty decent time here. 33
seconds back for Markel Balocki. Puts him into 13th place for EF Education. Dude,
this guy youngster. He’s 20 years old, dudes. 20 years old. I think this is a pretty
nice uh talent acquisition by EF Education. find these dudes super young, get
them on the team, develop them. Uh, no other changes so far that I’m looking at
here outside of Sander Depestyl. I’m going to see where he is on course right now. See if we
can get an update for on the little chart here. Why have I lost him? I don’t know why I’ve lost
him here. What happened to Sandra Deesttol? First through the first checkpoint. I
don’t see him at the second checkpoint. Um, okay. I’m going to just browse
around. Don’t worry about me, guys. I’m just kind of thinking out loud here
right now. Sandra Depastel, where are you, bro? Yeah, he went through 443. Yeah, we’ll find him. I’ll have to
look around. Bob Jungle is out there, guys. Getting distracted. Uh, okay. Aaron, thank you. Strongest
TTS are Yonas, Almeida, Vine. Yeah, Vine’s not top 10. Uh, Jorgensson’s just outside.
Henley’s in fourth. I was going to say Henley, but his results don’t show it. I
I hovered over him for a second. Uh Dave saying, “Oh, the Gimly Glider. It was
a brand new 76. It was a 767. Really?” Yeah, guys. So, it was in Canada when we switched from
Imperial to Metric when that would have been I don’t know. I’m just going to guess 1979. I’m
probably wrong. And when they fueled the plane up, they didn’t do the calculations right. And the
pilot was like, “Uh, we’re running out of fuel right now.” and he knew, I guess they said
based on that captain’s experience, he goes, “I know there’s a run. There’s a airirst strip
right there.” The problem is that old airirst strip had been uh converted into a drag race
track. Um so I think they had to get everyone off. I’m going to have to look into that. I’m not sure
if they were drag racing that day, but they landed basically on a drag racing strip just outside of
Gimy, Manitoba. Ziggster do-it-yourself divorce. New Hampshire online no fault was newly initiated
that year. 210 bucks. Run for your life, Drew. Run for your life. I like to move it. [Music] Singing.
Yeah, guys. You guys like what is he singing for? I’d love to hear new people come in here and go,
what am I absolutely watching here? Two riders coming to the finish line together here right
now. Uh looks like barring victorious. It’s Tibber going to be well over a minute down on Fippogana.
And then Pierre Terry comes in for RKBn. He got caught by Tibbury at the very finish. Dude, I
would back off a bit if I was that bro. Uh Tierry, you are currently sitting right in his draft.
Like I mean he’s one bike length. Oh, he pulls back and goes around him. He goes back around
him here at the finish. Dave’s working today. Uh a soccer guy saying uh oh crown long is
no longer what? Oh dude, that’s why Elizabeth Hunter. Elizabeth Hunter, you’re a lurker
and we appreciate you being here. Elizabeth, is that why? So I saw guys, Doug Ford, he’s
the premier of Ontario and I just saw guys, I’ve been really out of touch. Jay Vine getting
ready to go, guys. I’ve been really out of touch with Canadian news and world news in general.
Uh I do like following and then I just makes me sick to my stomach. I’m talking like US news,
Ukrainian Russia news, Israel Palestine news, stuff in Africa news, Canadian crap politics crap
leader news makes me sick to my stomach. Tariff news. You watch that stuff, guys. We have no say
in the matter. Unless we’re all willing to pick up uh pitchforks and sticks and go march on our
governments, nothing’s going to change. Uh but yeah, Elizabeth, Crown Royal is no longer made in
Canada and no Canadians will buy it. Elizabeth, I saw Doug Ford pouring out a big bottle of Crown
Royal. I’m like, why is he pouring out Crown Royal? I get it now. Okay, I got you, Elizabeth.
Thanks for uh telling me that Doug Ford, guys, is the premier of Ontario. So, he was pouring out
a product that used to be made in Manitoba right next door. Where is Crown Royal made now? It’s
probably garbage now. Soccer guy Drew Schaefer, your divorce comment. Made my day. Hope he
bounced back well since 96. I think Drew’s been rocking it, dude. Uh, Paul Marino, TV
tomorrow starts at 5:00 p. p.m. UK time. So, that’s probably 10 o’clock in the morning
for me. 9 or 10. I’m have to confirm that. 1550 BST is British summertime. I think Fiverr
is ahead of EST. Okay. And then that’s two hours ahead of me. Okay, Erin, I will confirm it. I’ll
just go on CBC Gem today and see if I can find it. Yeah, as Mars once said it, Dave, as M A R said,
I think he puts a double R in it once it’s time to pump up the volume. Pump up the volume. soccer
guy. Oh yeah, Tom Dumalon was awesome in the time trial, wasn’t he? Yeah, bro. He was awesome.
That dude, why did he retire so early? Was that a pressure thing on him? I don’t even know how old
Tom Dumlon is now, but he’s I think I feel like he’s still young enough still to race. I think
he did make a comeback and then he retired. Yeah, he did. He did. He stepped away for like eight,
nine months, something like that. He came back and then he didn’t last. He was like, “Yeah, I’m
done.” I probably just got sick of Marco Frigo out on course here for Israel Premate Techch. Rocket,
dude. Rock it for Israel Premier Techch. Jay Vine is already closing the distance on Finley
Pickering before Time Check one. He’s probably got it under 500 meters already. Jay Vine’s a
good time trialist, guys. Not in the top 10, but still a good time trialist. Uh watching the
other riders are here. Who’s pulling in on who? There’s some stuff. Basioli, Fortunado, and
Roland. Brio Roland. They’re all a little too close together. Someone’s moving faster. Someone’s
slowing down. Let’s come back here for a second. See what we got going on. So, it’s still
all the same stuff. Okay, I got to look at uh Sandra Depest, his record. See if we
can see this today. So, we don’t have any notification on him as to what he’s done today.
Okay, I I’ve lost track of him on course, guys. Through checkpoint two. Where was he? There he is. Okay, he was 9 seconds down at
checkpoint. Okay, so he probably faded really bad. He’s just faded out of the top 10. I just
missed his finish time, guys. Uh so Sander to Pestl. Okay, he finished 15th overall, 33 seconds
down. So really good start and then just faded. went out too fast at the beginning. And again,
guys, that’s the hard part of doing a time trial. Okay, thanks Dave. 10 hours my time,
guys. Well, I will be up for Lavalta. Oh, that’s going to be a hard one. So, we’re going to
be up for Lvalta. We’re probably going to finish around 9:30. It gives me like 20 25 minutes
to get ready and then back to GP Quebec. But I’m doing it doing it all in all in double
stream tomorrow, guys. probably streaming for I’m gonna say Levalta four
hours. They’re saying GP Quebec is a five hour race. So nine hours of
streaming tomorrow. Eyes obliterated. Oh, Travelstone down at the bottom of the PCS
page. They are following the splits for Ghana. His third split. Oh yeah. Uh Ghana just absolutely
dominated that third split. Uh, so down at the bottom on the PCS page. Okay. I don’t see where
you’re talking about right now, but Oh, probably this here. Okay. Okay. Yeah, it just moves all the
time. But I see what you’re saying. Yeah. 56.15K an hour here. Oh, his final split was at 62. Yeah,
that is nutso, dude. That is nutso. For sure. Uh, oops, I’m in the wrong place. No, I’m in the right
place. We’ll come back here. Uh this will confir JVine goes through the first checkpoint, one
second behind Sander Depestyl. Uh one second ahead of Mads Patterson. What can Jayvine do
today, guys? Verve is through checkpoint 236 seconds down. Buil has just finished 31st
place overall. 1 minute 1 second down. Uh I do want to look at the start times here.
Departure times. Rudy Mar’s going next. Mark Solair is going on soon. Eddie Dumbar, Julie
Jaconei, Bruno Amarill, Kevin Burmar, guys, we’re getting to see some of the bigger
names soon. Bigger names are coming up. Stick right. H. We’ll stick here. Stick
on that one for now. He did a 70 niner. Coming around for 70 niner. I Matt, I
think I did say on my video what that means. One day I I when I think it was you
that asked me what is this? I’m like, “Dude, I don’t know either. I don’t know. I’ve never
known.” I’ve been saying that for probably, I don’t know, five, six years, maybe more.
Used to say it to my old boss all the time. Uh, Nina, PCS just made me sit through
a 23 second ad for enormous jewelry that could be worn on the forehead of an
elephant. Nina, I don’t get any ads. PCS is fantastic, but they if you’re not a premium
member, they’re like, “Okay, you’re not willing to pay. You’re going to watch so many ads. There’s
ads all over the place.” I tried to use it at first. I’m like, “There’s no way I can use this.
I don’t want it to be a real crappy experience for me or you guys. I have seen other people do it
and it looks terrible.” There’s a few other people that do the PCS route and you and I always say
you can tell they’re not premium because they’re zoomed in. That motorbike there needs to move
away. That motorbike there needs to move away. Yeah, he did. Jayvine was chasing the motorbike
on purpose there like anyone should. Uh they must have been the motorbike then just accelerated away
like a demon. But yeah, that’s the biggest uh kind of advantage people are getting right now is the
motorbikes. Going to watch this closely. Yeah, that motorbike is now gone. He’s like 500 meters
up the road. definitely was influencing that ride. Uh the nice thing about Tom Dumalon was
he was a different type of GC rider, more big MIG style compared to the climb.
But yeah, I would agree with that, man. He was best in races with more individual
time trials, so not this well. Yeah, dude. Exactly. Uh Jvine is catching the rider
ahead of him right now. Jayvine is catching the rider. This is Pickering. Finley Pickering
here is going to be caught by Jayvine. I want to get the super updated. And and again, I
know this is still delayed. Jayvine will be coming up to checkpoint two right away. Has he
made it already? Not through there yet. Jayvine is sitting in his draft right now. I wonder
how long they’ll let him draft there for. He is good. There’s Jvine’s through. Jayvine
through. Through first, guys. Six seconds ahead of Stephen Kung there. Pickering goes through
now as well. So JVine flying, there’s going to be some dudes watching this saying, “Hey man, he
was on the motorbike the whole time.” I guess the whole motorbike thing, guys, is really, really
bad in the Pelaton right now. Like really bad. A legacy team could be cool. Blocky, Venurov, Figo, Frigo. Yeah, Jvine. Okay,
so they’re showing this now. Okay, this is him just getting to it here. We
know he’s through first place at the second checkpoint right now. Jayvine. I want to see if
how quick how close to up to date we are here. Yeah, and he’s just pulling away from Pickering
now at the finish line. Looks like Kevin Ver Verv is catching out poles, I believe, unless polls
caught him. Let’s see what’s going on here. Gross. Shartner is already pulling back
L. Excuse me. Frigo is pulling back Sepa already. They might catch up with each other.
Mark Soler is on course. Eddie Dunar is on course. Ben Tullet is on course right now, guys.
They’re all coming. They’re all coming now. Okay, we’ll hang out here for a little bit. Verve
has finished at 103 down in 34th place. Uh really interesting what Jayvine can
do here. He is up right now. How well can he hold this final four kilometers? Can
he pull a Ghana off? Can he do a Ghana? Uh this screen still cracks me up. Looks like the
march of the skinny stiff-legged man as the riders jerseys move to the right. Yeah, dude. I know.
You think they could do better than that, right? Uh Dave saying, “Okay, I’m missing
what Dave’s saying. If you know, you’re older than dirt.” Okay, Dave,
I missed what the first part is there. Aaron Smith, is there any other news than what
is on Pro? Dude, I’ve looked around at a lot of them. There is other sites that will track
races. I always go back to Pro Cycling. That’s the one for me. It has the most. I It’s not
that expensive to get either, guys. I mean, you guys probably don’t need it. Uh, if you can
deal with the ads. Mayday has a great show about the glider, dude. Yeah, Mayday, I think, is a
Canadian show that showed all sorts of disasters. Uh, yeah, Drew moved to Switzerland
for 12 years. No complaints. Oh, okay. Uh, he says, “Glitcher
alert. YouTube is not showing all comments to me. I have to close
and reopen. Weird. Might reboot. Yeah, Jvine’s flying, guys. Already caught
him. Looked Okay, Nah’s looked it up. Crown Royal moving jobs to the US. This must be
a tariffs casualty. Oh, you’re right. Yeah, Crown Royal whiskey, guys. I know it’s highly
respected by a lot of Americans. I have some friends in the states who were like big uh
oh, what do we call it down there? We don’t call it ri bourbon. I have some bourbon drinker
friends down there like like bourbon snobs and they love Crown Royal. Uh they asked me,
“Hey man, can you give me a bottle of a certain brand of that we make up here. So isn’t
bourbon I think bourbon’s cornbased. I think uh rye is rye whis our whiskey crown royal is
rye based. I think it’s a bit smoother and so yeah uh Crown Royal probably is one of the biggest
whiskey producers in the world and it’s probably getting fried by the tariffs. So they got to get
out of there. Move the whole oper. That’s crazy. Oh, there’s supposed to be a link to the Venezuela
crash. I’ll have to check that out later today, guys. I remember that Doomlon said he was
burnt out physically and mentally when he retired. He does some TV now. Okay. Yeah, just
another burnout case. Uh Matt, thanks. I mean, the pilot who landed on the racetrack did a Oh,
yeah. He definitely did a 709, dude. He came in unannounced. No ground crew, no ground control.
That is a 709er right there. That’s what a 709er is, guys. If you’re landing in basically
uncontrolled airspace with no ground crew, no ground support. Egon Bernal still warming
up, guys. Pickering through the finish now, guys. 84th place at 1 minute 34 seconds down.
Landed. Not a bad time through checkpoint 2. He’s 49 seconds down. Wow. Jvine misses it
by one second, guys. I missed it. I didn’t actually see the video finish of it. JVine
misses the finish by one second. Are you kidding me? One second over Ghana. I’m going
to come back here for a second, guys. Um, yeah, there’s Jvine’s times. 13 minutes 1.79 seconds.
Ghana was 13 minutes and a bit. So, JVine second place for you. UAE could have won another
stage, guys. Not up in here. Not up in here. Uh, we see guys like you every
freaking day. Not up in here. Uh, it would be awesome if the Polka Dots
jersey wins the TT. Dude, he almost did, but he had his one hour behind on the GC.
Explain that. Yeah, exactly, dude. Explain that to non-cycling folks. Vine, best climber
uh in race, fastest TT, but don’t win. Yeah, people just don’t understand that. Jayvine
almost got him, man. is very very close. So when someone asked earlier who’s going to win
of the top 10, Jayvine very very strong time but he’s outside of the top 10. Yeah, it’s People
don’t realize they’re like a stage race. What do you mean by that? I It’s a race every day, but
the races add up. The guy with the lowest time overall wins the race. Ghana hangs on. Yeah,
by 0.9 seconds. Nice ride from Jvine. Exactly. Oh, Aaron here. If you are a bourbon snob,
you appreciate Crown Royal as a rye product, but most prefer the corn ry mix aged in charred
American oak for at least two years. Guys, we’re getting deep on this channel.
It’s coffee, uh, it’s pastas, geography, geology. What else have we talked about? Uh,
now we’re into rise and, uh, bourbons. Yeah, losing by 1.4 seconds is brutal. Second place,
though. Yeah, he’s got the polka dot. He’s got a blue and white polka dot helmet even on. They’ve
even painted that up for him. Just absolutely fried this dude. Absolutely fried, guys. Could we
see an upset? Could we see something else happen? Uh, got have a good look here. So, still Jvine was
second at the first checkpoint. Then he went first at the second checkpoint, second at the end. So
just lost that one second over Ghana at the end. Uh Jose Saba finishes a one minute 30 second
downs here. Bruno Amarill’s on course. Bruno Amaril’s out there guys. Let’s have a little look
at Bruno Amal. Where’s Bruno right now? Let me get caught up here. Amarel is still coming. He’s just
hitting the first checkpoint now. Bernal started guys. Brog was on course. Vermarqu is on course.
Chicone is out ahead of Armoral. Let’s see what kind of time Armal can do here. We should have
a time for him right away. There it is. It just flashed before me just as I got to it. 7 seconds
down at the first checkpoint. So, not bad. Bruno Emerald should have a pretty decent time trial.
Marco Figo looks like he is at the finish line now. He should be just finished. That might be
from earlier. We got to watch this closely here behind Ghana. Uh, is JVine going to Rwanda and Worlds? Dude,
I can check that here pretty quick. Just give me a second, guys. Why don’t I do that right
now? Let’s take a look at the I was looking at the world stuff this morning, Aaron. So, dude, you
are thinking the same way I am half the time. Oh, what’s this race? Uh, we’re seeing that Jonathan
Milan and Olaf Koy are both signed up now for a championship race. Blunderin race. Cashinodom
is going to the women’s world championships, I think. Nope, it’s different
race. Storin Baron Gold. Yeah, it’s really cool to see all these riders lining
up for races. Uh, next race is coming up. Go to the calendar. I got to imagine JVine, he would
go for the individual time trial men’s elite. Here you can see the women and the men are on
the same day. That’s going to be a huge day. Now, this is preliminary start list. I’m sure
some teams are sending more riders, maybe. So, like right now, it’s saying there’s no elite
rider for Australia. Do you believe that? I don’t. Men’s elite individual time trial. That
would be JVine. Uh, you know what I can do? We can do this. We can click on Jvine’s name over
here. Uh once I find him here, Jayvine, and we can look at his program and it’ll tell us what
he’s doing. So, he’s only doing the road race. Yeah, he’s doing the road race. Uh he’s not doing
the time trial. Maybe he should. I guess it’s not too late to sign up. I can’t believe there’s not
one Australian at the uh World Championship uh time trial. I don’t believe that for a second.
So, the start. Lets are very preliminary still. When do they have to let him know? I don’t
even know. Uh Drew, predict Jonas. Yonas 6 seconds behind Ghana. Almeida 7 seconds faster.
Really? So Drew, are you saying that Almeida will get into the sub 13 second range? Like fast?
You’re saying Almeida is going to beat Ghana? Dawn goes to Bourbon Fest in Maryland each year,
but I know very little. I just like to drink it. Bookers, Papa Van Winkle, Garrison Brothers.
Dude, I know nothing about bourbon. I don’t know if I’ve even had a sip of bourbon in my
life. I may not have. Crown roll a little bit. Uh, UAE is going to have four in the top 10 on
day. Hello, UCI points. Yeah, dude. Totally. Yeah, is already there. So, yeah, let’s take a look
at the top 10, guys, right now. Aaron’s talking about it. Let’s let’s have a look. Let’s
take a peek. So, we have JVine second place, Evo Alivera third place. Auso is in 12th.
We got Almeida still coming through. Uh, who else am I thinking about? Uh, we know
Solair still out there. Abel, I’m watching Abel Balderstone here for Cahruel. Ben Tellet
finished one minute down, 34th place overall. Eddie Dunar is through the second checkpoint, 34
seconds down. I’m going to watch and see how Bruno Amarel holds up here. He was 7 seconds down at
the first checkpoint. Let’s see what he can hold. Torstston trains getting ready to go. Seuss behind
him. Matthew Rick freaking Felix G. Julio Parari Ji Henley Pickock Almeida Yonas. Guys, we’re into
the last bunch of riders here. 10 riders still to start. Almost 9 in the morning for me. I got
a big day ahead. So, I’m going to do chores quick. Load the lawn mower up. Take a picture of
what kind of blade I need. Go to Olds. Got more access to Canadian Tire, Walmart, you know, the
whole stuff there. Uh, go mow the grass at the office. Get home. I need to ride my bike. Looking
forward to that ride today, I’ll tell you that. Aaron sounds like he’s a a bourbon guy. Try
some willlet if you can find it. Buffalo trace. Very good for everyday temple. I
don’t know what that is. I have no idea, dude. Bourbon talk. Dude, I’m going
to hashtag bourbon names in here now, dude. I’ll probably This place will be flooded
with people. You wos. Um, yes. Okay, so Drew is going for it. Drew is saying Almeida’s going to
win it all today, guys. Guys, I’m not even sure if there’s uh time bonifications on this one. I
don’t know. Is there time bonifications in this time trial? No idea. Oh, you know what? You
can do time splits here, too. Look at this, guys. I actually have time splits here,
too. Wow. These are really good, actually. Uh, wow. Time splits, time points,
sub columns, order by, start, t122, finish. What if I go finish, apply filter.
Wow, there we go. We can see all the splits here where Gana made all his time up. T1,
he wasn’t there. T2, he wasn’t there. T3, he just smashed it like the third interval.
Picked up 13 seconds there. So did Jvine, though. Jvine got a lot of time back there, but
actually fell down at the very last little bit. He just couldn’t uh leap past. Yeah, you can see
where guys are losing time in this final split, which makes sense. Some are hanging on. Uh okay,
that’s their time there and their average speed over that interval, I guess. Okay, we’ll jump
out. That might be too confusing right now for me. Jorgensson’s on course. Lassurf
is out there. I can’t see him doing super well. He’s a little guy.
Think he’s 55 kilos as well. Bernal’s moving along, guys. Let’s check these
checkpoints here now for like Bernal. Uh last person through was Balderson here for Kruell. Verar is through 37
seconds at the second checkpoint. This looks like Ji Hendley still warming
up and Pelazari. They’re still guys, they’re still warming up there. Like I mean that
might be like 30 seconds ago. They’re like warming up to like the very last second and they’re
probably racing over there. I’m going to come back to this one for now. Uh Bernal threw the first
checkpoint. 44 seconds down. So Bernal’s not on a time trial here, guys. 44 seconds down. That’s
134th overall. No, that’s not right. Something goofy with that time. No, maybe it is. Matteo
Jorgensson is in 10th place overall in the GC, guys. But he’s 10 minutes and 16 seconds
down. He is on course. I’ve already seen him out there. There’s Jorgensson. He’s just
over two kilometers into the race right now. Bernal, he’s being caught by the Kahu Royal
Rider from behind. That Kaja Rural Rider is going to be getting close to catching him by
the finish. Amarel is going to pass Chicone. Oo, Jorgensson just had his back wheel slide out
on a corner, guys. He’s going in. Get hot, folks. Get hot. Uh, Matteo Jorgensson getting
a little too hot around those corners there. I’m watching Amarel pass Chicone right now.
So, I’m gonna bop back here. How did Bruno Amaril do coming through checkpoint two? I
don’t see him in the top 20. There’s Depest. Yeah. Oh, I do see him. He’s in third place
overall. 9 seconds down. Bruno Amarill having a nice time trial for the Decathlon rider
here. Uh Bruno Amarill. Brun Raml does get third place overall. So, Evo Oliver gets
pushed down one. Everyone’s going to move down one. 10 seconds down. This guy’s a really
good rider. Going to Visma Lisa bike next year. Yeah. Hashtag bourbon. Hashtag
all your favorite brands, guys. Give me the biggest biggest best
names. I’ll just hashtag them in my videos. Uh, Papy is the turkey dinner with all
the fixings of all the bourbons. Okay, guys. I barely drink anymore either. I
think as you get older, you’re just like, eh, I can’t do it anymore. But threw
21st place at the second checkpoint. He’s 21 seconds down. Bernal 1 minute and 27
seconds back. So, Bernal is not in TT form. Chonei finishes 72nd place overall 1 minute
23 seconds down. Some of these dudes here are just going to get dropped down the GC.
Uh it’s going well they’re going to drop relative to Jonas and Jiao. That’s what’s going
to happen. They’re just going to get bigger time gaps now. Balderstone looking pretty good out
here. Let’s see where he is. Uh Boulder Stone must be near the finish or he has
finished. No, there he is there. Um okay, where is Bernal right
now? Same Bernal’s there. Oh yeah, look at this dude here, guys. Check out
this Ghana from earlier over on X here, guys. Seriously, come on. Beast,
beast on the bike. Filippo Ghana and I’ve lost track of Bernal here.
Yeah, so Ghana Gana went through the second checkpoint 9 seconds down and
then uh yeah, just kept accelerating for Marquee comes across the finish line
106 down puts him in 45th place overall. Ghana has been sitting there
a long time by himself. Almeida win would be a mild upset. My man Mark Solair aka Crazy Pants. Yeah, Armorel was good. Armorel is good.
He got third place overall. Nina, is Trin a good TT man? I don’t think he’s
recognized as a a big time trus. Let’s take a look at him. I think he’s more of a climber. Uh,
I’m going to come back here right now. Torsten TR. Where am I going to find him on here? Easy. Well,
the easiest way for me to find him right now, I know he’s sitting in ninth. Torsten TR. We’ll
look at his stats here. He’s a GC climber dude. I remember I’ve looked at he’s not very
big either. He is 63 kilos, but I mean, uh, Jay Vine’s probably 10 kilos heavier.
Dan is probably 20 kilos heavier. Why don’t we look at that? Uh, where are they?
How big are the dudes that are winning? Jay Vine, 69 kilos. So, he’s six kilos more.
That’s like 13 pounds. And then we’ve got Ghana. Ghana is 83. Gana.
Gana is 20 kilos heav heavier than Torsson train. He’s 44 pounds heavier.
That’s the difference in these dudes. I’m going to refresh this again.
One of the Kahur raw riders has almost caught Bernal. So Bernal is gonna
he’s not having a great time trial here. Oh, look at this. It says Pelazari and Matthew
Ricoatello have started two times in the same time trial. In two of them, Matthew Rico outperformed
Pelazari. Let’s take a look at uh Ricatello here. Got a little bit of time trial points on him.
He’s definitely a climber. He’s only 55 kg, though. So, his six watts per kilo is 330 watts.
Gana’s 6 watts a kilo is over 500 watts. Now, watts to kilo. Yeah, it’s important. Uh more
important on climbs. Absolute watts dominate watts per kilo on the flats. It’s all about your frontal
area and the amount of power you’re developing. Bratello’s on course. Should be seeing him here
now. Where is he? Yep, here he is. About 2 km out. Felix Gaul is coming next. Gaul has to be
careful here, guys. If you look at the standings, uh, we’ve got two seconds separating sixth
and seventh place. You’re going to think, who cares? UCI points. UCI points here. A
difference between six and seventh is significant. I will come back here to get the latest. Torsten
Trin through checkpoint one 19 seconds down. So he’s riding to protect his ninth place. They want
that top 10 finish for team bar in victorious. Uh okay. Someone saying do not for to check out the
Packers commanders from Lambo Field in Green Bay. And I’m lost. Uh, just let me catch up, guys. Aaron said, “I don’t even think anyone knows
if Trinkan TT. Probably not even him.” Dude, he might be TTing out of his skin
right now. Seus goes through the first checkpoint at 17 seconds down. Not bad. With my bike club, we would do our final
ride of the season and stop at Italian restaurant for pizza and beers, then ride home
10 miles. Dude, I love it. Love stuff like that. Uh Erin Mark Solair is the anti Chloe Digert.
Exactly. Actually, you know what I saw? I did, guys. I did all the tour to France fam Evic
Swift. All those stages are there. If you just got nothing to do better with your life, watch some of
those videos. Uh but yeah, there’s I actually saw another rider on the team that wears the same kind
of shorts as uh Chloe does. She likes the short short ones, too. If you look back at the old days,
everyone’s shorts were shorter. I don’t think they had as good grip on the legs. Micro bruise and
cycling are a match made in heaven. Exactly, dude. Yeah, Marker will not be the best
in the time trial today. That’s for sure. Solar panels had a partly cloudy
day. That’s what’s coming up for Marker. Yeah, he’s never had a good time trial. Uh, Jao Concalves. Sorry, dude. But it’s Yao.
Do you Is that how you say it? Is it Yao? Yao. Someone let me know. And the difference
between Watts from Vingigo to Almeida. Dude, I don’t know the actual difference. Almeida. Yeah, he’s still probably getting just doing a nice
warm-up now. He’s probably getting ready. He’s probably at the start, actually. So, Yonas
is 58 kilos. Oh my god, that’s so small. So Yonas riding like guys, this is how you
look at it. Yonas riding at seven watts a kilo uh would be pushing out less power than Ghana
riding at 6 watts a kilo. Ghana at 6 watts a kilo is pushing close to 500 watts. Yonas
at seven watts a kilo is pushing out just over 400. I think I’ve been told, well, I’ve
heard in a podcast and it was actually the guy talked Hayden Pucker. He’s a dude that rides
inside on my whoosh. He does race outside now, too. He’s incredibly strong. They said there’s
two guys and he said this, there’s two guys in the world that have an FTP over 500 watts. It’s Hayden
Pucker and Filipana. Bigger, taller dudes. He’s 58 kilos and Almeida 63 kilos. old. Yeah, he’s he’s
heavier. 6 kg that Yeah. You know, that’s like 13 and 13 and a half pounds heavier. All depends
what kind of power they’re going to put out today, too. They’re so like that difference is so close.
It’s almost the same. Oh, Pelazari Pelazari gave himself the full, you know, one of these ones
behind. Kiss the chain. He’s doing it again. Love it. Just watching a replay of the video,
guys. He’s on course now. Pelazari here. There he is. Ji Hanley’s out too. Okay, let’s start
watching here, guys. Uh, Rickello goes through the first checkpoint. Only 12 seconds down.
Get it, bro. Get it, bro. Rick a freakingello, guys. Here he comes. Torsten T goes through the
second checkpoint. 41 seconds down. So, guys, for this one here, we’re watching the Ricatello
G battle. I mean, realistically, Ricatello is not going to win the race. Ricoatello is not going
to beat Yonas. Ricatello wants to beat Felix Gaul today. There’s a two second time gap. All we got
left to go is Pitcock. They’re at two-minute gaps. Remember guys? [Music] Okay. Yep. Uh Rickello
is ahead of Felix Gaul at the first checkpoint. Gaul just went through 20 seconds down. Ricatello
went through a 12 seconds down. Eight second time gap difference there between the two of them.
That puts Rickello six seconds ahead right now. Getting more coffee. Colin’s about bad. That’s
a good influence. Don, I’m a good influence. Cyclist scoff. Scoff. Dude, I haven’t even
used that word in a while. I need the calories, dude. Exactly. Nina Jiao. Is that how you say it?
Nina, really? Because there’s a here. Where is he? Jiao Gonalves. I want to make sure I’m saying
his name right. Guys, I’m going to try to say your names right if I can. And if I butchered it
for like weeks on end, I’m not changing it. It’s going to be my thing. Anybody ride with Herios,
dude. Lots of guys ride with heros. Rick freaking is on the move, guys. Shiao. Yep. Jiao is bigger
than Jonas. Big blue bar for TT points. Yeah. and he’s had a really really good one this year,
guys. Uh I’m going to go back to this one here too. I want to watch it this way. If I refresh it
a lot. Okay, Pickock’s out on the course. You can see here these gaps look pretty consistent, but
my eyeball is telling me that Ricotello is pulling away from Gaul here a little bit. Just a little
bit. And the gap between Gaul and Pelazari is smaller. Remember, those are too many gaps. Now,
there would usually been another rider in between them. So, from the looks of this, Cous and Trin
are probably doing about the same ride. Probably about the same ride. Yeah, it says right here
through the second gap, second chime check. Uh, Sep Cous was 46 second back. 46. I think Trin was
41 just looking at that. So, Cous went through at 47 back. Okay. in 60th place. I bet you if I
look at see all uh I bet you if I go to around 60th place I should see train there somewhere.
See if I can find him quick here and not waste too much time doing this. Maybe sped up. Okay,
so I can’t see him. We’ll figure that out later, guys. Figure that out later. Ratella goes through
at 27 seconds down. So guys, let’s hang out right here. Jorgensson finishes only 21 seconds down.
So Jorgensson should be in the top 10. Is he in the top 10? Yeah, Jorgensson just gets 10th
place. He’ll be bumped out of 10th by the finish. Bruno still there in third. Train finishes 54
seconds down. Pretty decent. Pretty decent for him. We’re going to be watching Felix Gaul’s
time come through now at checkpoint two, guys. Maybe checkpoint one. We got a time.
Pelazari’s through 20 seconds down. So about the same speed as Felix Gaul. Pelazari. I think he
sits I think he’s directly ahead of Gaul. I think Pelazari is directly ahead of Gaul. But there’s a
big there’s a big time gap there. Yeah, Pelazari has one minute 6C lead over Gaul overall. So these
positions are getting kind of established now. Pick is on course guys. We’re waiting for G’s time
to come through. I’ll get back to the chat here. Jwah there. Today Solair rather than
being in the breakaway is in the broken way. And he used today is
uh as he likes. No need to help. How to say as in Jojo as in the sound of a
barking dog. Really? Jiao Xiao shoot? I don’t know. I don’t know, man. I’ll try my best. Uh uh.
Shah. Uh it’s as close as it gets. He’s saying, “Dude, nice try, but nowhere near.” Dude, thanks
for being your bro. Sorry I butchered your name. Felix Gaul is losing time to Rick Freaking,
guys. And I’m not saying I’m I’m probably coming out that I want Gaul to lose, but I
don’t. I really like Felix. The guy was fifth at the tour to France. I just like seeing the
battle. I like seeing the fact that Ricatello is going to take time back. Take that spot back.
Gaul’s going to come out over the next two days trying to take the spot back from Ricatello.
We’re setting up for some awesome battle, guys. Uh we’ve got another new dude here. Uh Hard
to Die 88. uh with my pronunciation problems. Sep seems to be on his normal TTC siesta. Yeah, he
doesn’t even care, right? So, G’s through now. He has lost more time to Ricatello. Jai Henley. Oh,
nice time. Jai is through. 10 seconds down at the first check. Uh guys, you know what that means?
We’re going to come over here and have a quick peek. Let’s have a little look at the vis the
the visual representation as to what’s going on. I’d say Gaul is pulling away from Pelazari.
Hendley is pulling Pelazari back. The last three, these are the ones. Well, actually, it’s the
last two. The big times here are Almeida and Vingigo. Let’s watch here, guys. Yeah, Sept
Cous finishes 77th overall. 1 minute 22nd down. Uh Gaul is 36 seconds back. So right now at
the second checkpoint, Ricatello is 10 seconds ahead of Felix Gaul. Nice. Good stuff. Yeah,
Aaron. Exactly. Uh Kell O’Brien has to be the surprise. Where did he come from? Conor. Exactly.
Dude, I wonder if he’s walking around going, “Dude, did I just do that? Did what?
Did I just do that? Dude, I love it. I got to work on my nasal part. Okay, I’m gonna
Dude, you know what I need to do? I think you can You know what’s crazy here too? Um I think if
you look at some of their names on PCS before, uh at times you’ll see like a little
thing beside their name. It’s how to pronounce their name properly. So I should
be going through that once I start working on all my Spanish and different languages I’m
going to learn, guys. Spanish first then yeah Spanish first and then I’ll work on the
other ones. Mario is cheering for Xiao as in Jojo. Seth needs to write the
book how to top 10 a tour without looking like you’re trying.
Yeah, pretty much man. Her is laughing. You’re there calling and
rather than use nasal sound at the end. I don’t know, man. I’m trying. Got to get it
with the nasly part in Portuguese. Okay. So, I got to start watching some
Portuguese television today, guys. I need to know the name of the best
Portuguese television show to watch. I’m going to find it somewhere. Going to come
back here, guys, to get better time splits, guys. There’s no one going. There is no one
left going. How different would this have been today if it was a 27.2 kilometer time
travel? We’ll never know. We’ll never know. First through that split is Depestyl through
the first split still. Jayvine second, Person third. Almeida is 1 second down,
guys. Uh Jawa made a one second down. So we’re gonna have to see how Yonas is doing
here. If I come back and look at it here, just the visual representation, like hold my
thumb up to the screen like this. That’s what I’m doing. I’m holding my thumb up going uh uh
uh I think Yonas is moving faster to be honest right now. I think Yonas is just a squeak faster.
That doesn’t mean he’s going to win. Actually, I think they’re all moving pretty good. Vingo,
Almeida, Pickock, Hindley, I think they’re all moving at roughly the same speed. Henley’s just
going through the second checkpoint now. We should see that flash up over here right away. Ji Henley
is through. 25 seconds down. 25 seconds down. That puts him in 23rd overall at the second check.
Gaul finishes in 25th overall. Let’s check our bro out. Checking the bro. Ricoatello finishes
in 24th. 5 seconds ahead of G. So it looks like Gaul closed clawed back some time in the third
split. He was 10 seconds behind Ricatello. I bet you Rickotello is like over the moon right now
with that ride. Over the moon with that ride. Oh yeah. Come on Yonas. You
are killing them all now. Shapot Bruno. Yeah, that guy’s awesome. Uh, think channel is following the Disney film
Encanto. We do not talk about Bruno. Dude, I don’t even know what that means. I I’ve heard
of the Encanto movie. I’ve never seen it. Oh, this channel. Uh, Jeffrey, you know, the flags
are scaring me so much. Yeah, dude. There’s places where they’re like hanging right over the Oh,
here we go. Here we go, folks. Vingo down. Uh, he’s 3 seconds back. So yeah, approximately
doing Colin’s thumb, you know, close. Gana’s got some weird looks on his face here. Kind of
wondering what’s going on. Kind of. He’s asking questions here. He’s talking to himself in the
hot seat. Gana, you got too much facial hair, bro. It’s slowing you down. You probably lost
0.1 second there. When it comes that close, you’re going to know it was that beard, bro.
You’re going to know it was that beard. So, uh, Almeida is actually two seconds up at Vingo at the
first check, guys. Uh, Vingigo at the first check is only in 10th place overall on the stage. Here
we go. Pigcock is through the second checkpoint. 18 seconds down. That’s 21st place. Pelazari has
finished, guys. 46 seconds down. What does that mean to Pelazari in the GC? Astrog Pelazari. Uh
yeah, he’s losing time to Felix Gaul. I have to I’ll have to do the time comparison afterwards.
Okay, we’re going to watch this. Ji Henley will be coming next, won’t he? So, I’ve missed Ji Henley’s
time at the second checkpoint, I believe. So, Ji Henley will be the next rider to arrive and
we should see him here when I back out. Yeah, Ji Henley still to arrive. Yeah, guys, the
time it all looks kind of like honestly this is this is how I do it. I kind of look
at it and go, “Okay, looks about right. That’s about the only way you can
do it without the actual times. Don pronounces Xiao as Joe. Elizabeth Hunter,
I find it hard to say. Elizabeth Hunter, where you from? This is your second comment in the
channel. I’d love to know where you’re from. Yeah, Nina, exactly. Pitcock is not a TT guy, so I
think it’s pretty decent that he’s doing good. Uh oh, yeah. Top three career finishing in
time trials. This is the top four. Vingo, Almea, and Pickock and Henley. Uh, says
33% Vingo, 30% Almeida, zero for Henley, zero for Pickock. Top career career
finishing percentage in time trials. So, Vingo and Almea are good at it. Henley
and Pickock are not. Love it, guys. Guys, don’t forget tomorrow we’re doing a double
stream. I’ll set up two separate streams today. Valta in the morning. Uh the stage tomorrow, we’ll
do a quick look at it tomorrow. Uh at the end of the stage, it’s going to end soon, guys. Uh then
I got I got a lot of stuff to do today. Tomorrow looks more of a breakaway stage. Last chance
if you’re a sprinter at all type stage. Uh and then the big day is stage 20. Remember, stage 21
is just the ceremonial drive to the finish. Um, so tomorrow is going to be breakaway stage, Len
GP, Quebec. Saturday will be a massive stage at Bolo Del Mundo. Sunday will be stage 21 of
Loalta. Uh, we can I guess we can all hang out there and talk about who’s going to win the GP
Montreal. I’ll be doing that right afterwards. Uh, Erin, I extrapolate that 36 seconds to 27
km is thanking the protest. Oh, okay. Dude, you think he would have lost more time?
Just keep the climbing miles for him and he will be happy. Yeah, dude. He’s got
a huge day uh on Saturday, G. I mean, he looked fine yesterday, but when the attacks
come, he always struggles to hang on. Has to get up and pull himself back every time.
Miguel Sano Sio here uh cheering Almeida. Almeida taking any time. time and Yonas
will be good to the psychology of the race as being still undecided. Two seconds.
No big deal. Ameda makes a few seconds on Yonas. Good job. It’s a short time trial
really if Yonas is not at his best. Yeah, Jonas is probably better at a longer time
trial. Let’s take a look here, guys. Let’s see them coming through. Alas through the second
checkpoint here, guys. Okay, so let’s go first. Henley finishes in 20th place, 32 seconds down.
Next to come will be Pitcock at the finish. Yeah. So, I just noticed that
through the second checkpoint, Almeida was 7 seconds down. Vingo 10
seconds down. So, it’s been 3 seconds. Uh they’re keeping that gap. They’re both
riding roughly the same time trail. Pick just finishes 29 seconds down. I’d say a 20th
place for Pickock is really good. Really good. So, as long as these guys finish together, you
know, respectively, relatively with each other, GC’s aren’t going to change. Almeida has a little
bit up on Vingo right now. Take a look here, guys. You’ll see this. These are the last two
out here right now. Yeah, I’d say they’re riding virtually the exact same race right now. That
gap looks about the same as what it started as. Uh, yep, Mario. Exactly. Checkpoint two.
Yonas is still 3 seconds. I think that’s what we were at the first checkpoint as well. So,
they’re riding the same pace as all the way. Uh, head-to-head time splits. Okay, just bounced.
Head-to-head time splits for Almeida and Bingo. Okay, I don’t even understand what I’m
looking at there. What am I looking at? Total points per season in time trials for Neos
Grenadier. They’re obviously talking about Ghana here. Uh they’re not in their glory years like
they used to be like back in 18. Massive points in the time trial. Let’s see the finish line
here. Almeida is coming now, guys. So guys, yeah, we’re just going to get this wrapped up
here quick today. We’ll talk. We’ll have a quick look at the profile for tomorrow. I’m jumping and
yeah, so I’ll be probably busy for the next couple hours. Gonna get home, crank a bike ride out.
Uh, and I’ll start setting stuff up for tomorrow, plus working on all my other fun little stuff
I like to do. Almeida should be finished now, guys. I think his time’s ga comes in. Not bad. 8
seconds down on Ghana. So, I got to imagine that Vingigo is going to come in at 11 seconds down.
thinking it’s going to be consistent all the way. First place for Ghana, Jvine second, Almeida
third. Bruno Emerald I think we’ll keep fourth and then we’re going to see either Olive Vera or Yonas
get fifth place. Let’s just hang in here till the very end. Guys, tomorrow we need a good discussion
on cycling clothing and the associated cost. Dude, we can do that, man. You can blow a lot of money
on cycling clothing. A lot. Mer Santos, Almeida, 8 seconds to Ghana. Great TT. Yeah, totally, dude.
Almeida did a great job there. So, man, what what does UAE do on stage 20, guys? What does UA I want
to see an allout war? Like, we’re attacking from the very beginning. Every UAE guy goes up the road
like just like decimation of all the riders out there. That’s what I want to see. If I was if
I was Almeida, I’d be like second place. Nah, I want to win. I want to win this thing. Let’s
crush Yonas. Yonas is going to have to fight back. The team’s going to have to come up. It’s going
to be incredible. So, yeah, they’re still showing Almeida finish here. I’ll be waiting on Yonas
to come in. Uh, crush it. Drew’s here. Almeida, crush it. Yonas, keep it. Yeah. Freddy Ferrero
here. Freddy Ferrerero. Mush. Yonas. Mush. Come on. Bingo is losing time. Yeah, guys, want to
see this here. So, yeah, Almeida finishes 8 seconds down, guys. Is there any time bonuses? Is
there time bonuses? Yonas is in, guys. Oo, guys, the race. So, you’re saying there’s a chance? So,
you’re saying there’s a chance, guys. Look at this right here. It’s just popped up on screen for me
here. Oh, and we can scroll down right away. Uh, I like this here on the website. Yonas finishes
18 seconds down. He lost 10 seconds to Almeida in that short time trial, guys. What could have been?
What could have been? We need Aaron to do some more extrapolations for us on this one. I mean,
if it was a 27.2 km time trial, maybe it would have been 30 seconds, assuming Almeida was able
to perform the same. Guys, general ranking here right now. Um GC individual rankings here right
now. We’re going to stick with this one today. I like this look. Uh Yonas has a 42 lead over
Almeida right now. So Almeida just pulled back 10 seconds in one stage. Could have been more.
We’ll never know. Pickox’s third place at 239. Henley at 318. Pelazari at 419. So Pelazari lost
a little bit of time to his teammates. Ghana’s waving. He’s sitting there going, “Yeah, dude. I
knew I had this. Come on, bro. I’m Fippo Gana.” Moment of truth for the team dynamic.
U for Saturday. Yeah, Aaron. Exactly, dude. I want to see an allout war. I want to see
a UAE Visma war. That’s all I want to see. Guys, serious question. Your name is Mr.
Almeida. You’re second place here. You’ve never won a Grand Tour. Has
Jiao Almeida ever won a Grand Tour, guys? I don’t think he has most positive. Like
I will almost bet my life on it. Okay, we can’t do that there. Come back here again. I don’t
think Jiao Almeida has ever won a grand tour. No, hasn’t. He’s won a lot of
stuff. He’s never won a grand tour, though. He’s never won the Lavalta, the
Jirro, or the Tour to France. Obviously, I thought maybe he might have won one in 2018
that I didn’t remember. Uh it’s hard to remember all the stuff. Do you want second place or do
you want to win? You’re Jawa. It’s the last day. It’s the huge climb up Bula Delundo. Do you
want to win by destroying Yonas or do you want to stay with your second place? I want to win.
I want to win, man. I’m going for the win. Um, the GC is on fire. Oh, Elizabeth’s from Niagara
as well. Elizabeth, great to see you here, Elizabeth. Uh, we have someone else here. Uh, I
think her name I think she has her name is Niagara Region. Her name’s an Ann or Anna. Her name’s Anna
from the Niagara region. I know she’s going to the World’s Grand Fondo Championship in Australia. I
think at the end of the year in October, I believe it is October 25th. The GC is on fire now, dudes.
42nd on Bolad Mundo is possible. Let’s go. Jojo Almeida there. That’s better. Jojo Almeida.
We’ll make a little nickname for him. I’ll just call him Jay. Big Jay. Uh, well, I predicted
the 13 second favor gap in Almeida’s favor. Dude, it was great. Dude, it was great. Yeah, Alus never
won a GT. So, guys, let’s just say you’re him. I want people tell me, would you attack like a beast
like savagely on Saturday or are they just going to like pace each other all the way to the top and
then the last kilometer? I want early attacks on Saturday. Early attacks. Fish boy should have lost
25 seconds. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. We’re never going to know. So Almeida never got the
chance to get his gains because of the protests. So yeah, the Portuguese people probably
aren’t very happy about that. I’m not very happy about it. Peter Jeff, but Ausso and
Soler will aim for the stage win. Yeah. Yeah. They’ll they’ll go up the road, go for
the stage win, and leave Almeida behind probably. Pitcock a little more secure for
third. Exactly. Uh this could be his first. He wore pink jersey for 15 stages on his first
attempt. Right. I’m looking at that right here, dude. Uh he’s won the Bass Country. He’s won
the tour of Swiss this year, dude. He’s had an incredible year. He won the Bass Country race
early in the air. He won the tour to Swiss with I think a really really dominant time trial on
the last stage. Where was that? Yeah. Uh he won the individual time trial last stage of the tour
to Swiss tour of Romany. Tour of Poland stages at uh Tour to Swiss Bass Country stages. Yeah, he’s
done it all. Jomeda could still win this race, guys. So, you’re saying there’s a chance? Okay,
guys. What I’m going to do now, while we’re here, we’ll look at tomorrow stage quickly. We’ll look
at stage uh 20. So, this is tomorrow’s stage, guys. I’m just going to um I’ll show
the profile here first, breakaway day, maybe sprinters day. I don’t think the GC there’s
nothing’s going to change in the GC on this day. Nothing. But teams are going to be desperate
for wins. They might let a huge breakaway go with guys that are like two hours behind. Might
be kind of chill. Let’s just get a quick glimpse of when that starts for me tomorrow. Starts at
5 to 6 for me. So, not crazy early. I’m more concerned about this stage. This is the one that
you have to be here for. It’s Saturday. Just do nothing on Saturday except watch the racing. Bolo
del Mundo. Uh we have 4,116 meters of climbing. gets a profile score of 343. So, it’s slightly
less than the uh Anglrou Day, but a ton of climbing. It’s I think it’s got more climbing
than the Anglaroo Day. That stage starts at Oh, yeah. Uh that stage starts at 10 after five, but
look at the stage here. Category 3, category 3, category 2, category 1 to start the day off.
Here’s Mads Person’s last points. Mads won’t be getting points this day. And then we climb up
the Boload Del Mundo 12.4. 4 kilometers at 8.6% average. Okay, guys are answering here. I love
it. Uh Aaron, all Almeida has to do on Saturday is imagine going from Madrid to then parade in
Lisbon. Should he win? Yeah, dude. Like there’s so many places to attack on this stage. H it’s
going to be insane. They both have to feel good. Um, okay. I not seeing all the comments here,
guys, but that’s okay. I’m missing some stuff. Okay. Sorry. Trying to read here, guys. UEe
pushes for all the beans the next three days. That’s what I think. I think tomorrow is going
to be pretty chill. It’s a breakaway day. We’re probably going to see a winner that we haven’t
seen yet this year. Different team. Maybe maybe UI goes for again. They’re probably sitting there
realizing too, man. We win the stage. We get the most stage wins ever by a team at Lavalta.
That’s that’s a record. They want that. Mario, yes, I would attack. He has nothing to lose. Being
the first of the last does not make history. Yeah, exactly. He will go for it. He is a real fighter.
And this TT gave him that small catalyst he needed. Yeah. In his head, I can beat him. I just
beat him now by myself. I beat him by myself. So, he needs to attack somewhere on the second last
day where best suits him. He doesn’t want to get caught in any of those explosive attacks where
he does get dropped off the back. He needs to attack and ride his pace. Drew saying,
“Will they will they? I’m not sure. So many football matches end with boring second half
defensive standoffs.” Yeah, I don’t want that, dude. Lots of bike racers are like that, too.
Aaron, have a good lawnmowing session and get out on the bike. Cheers, dude. Definitely. Aaron,
thanks for being here, bro. Oh, Jah needs to win and take 10 seconds time bonus and the Danish
anchovy be worse than third and lose time. UE needs to ride as a team and protect Almeida.
Yeah, I think on this stage, stage 20 we’re looking at right now. Is that what we’re looking
at, guys? Yeah, we’re looking at it. Jayvon, Mark Soler, Ausso, you’re not going up the road. If
you go up the road today, you’re fired. You need to stick right with Almeida. Okay, maybe go up the
road a little bit, but your job, you’re satellite riding. Your job is to fall back and help pull him
forward. I think maybe they might try tomorrow. Uh, if Olive goes in that break tomorrow, he
could win with that TT form. Yeah, I could see UEE trying to do something tomorrow. Why not?
Uh, just don’t blow yourselves up because they got a monstrous day on Saturday coming up. Sunday,
guys, is a writeoff. It’s just a ceremonial ride. If you look at the stage for Saturday and
sorry, Sunday, will we have a stage Sunday? Uh, if you look at the profile here, it’s
a circuit stage. So, we start out of town, we come back into town, then we just do
laps. Uh, I think I’ve done one of these laps on Ruby. Pretty sure. It’s actually
a really cool course on Ruby. You got the motorbikes flying with you the whole way.
Chowo chiao. Tutti. Drew. Take it easy, bro. Have a good day. Okay, guys. That’s it for
today. Guys, did I even play my intro today? Yeah, I did. Okay. I wanted to make sure
I played my intro today. Everyone, thanks for being here again. Thanks for supporting
the channel. Like, shares, do all that fun stuff. Let other people know. I see the channel growing
every day. Like guys, I think as of this morning, I’m close to getting to 32,000 subscribers. A lot
of people hanging around. Some of you guys are die hards and I love it. Uh we’ll keep firing forward.
I’ve got a couple of Well, Friday is going to be a long day. Sunday is going to be a long day.
Uh then I’ve got like a week. We’re going to do tour of Luxembourg next week. And whatever else
shows up, we’re going to do it. We’ll focus, next week’s focus will be tour of Luxembourg after
the GP Montreal. I think it starts on the 17th, so it probably starts Wednesday. And that’s going
to overlap right into the World Championships. The World Championships might half kill me. It’s
going to age me by 10 years, but I’m doing it. We have Crazy Pants, Rick Freintello, and
Cicada Almeida. I do not like that. Okay guys, I’m going to jump. Thanks for watching
everyone. Uh, we’ll see you soon. Hope you enjoyed the stream today. I had a lot of
fun. I hope you guys did too. Let’s bang it out again tomorrow. Keep rocking and rolling,
guys. Shaka. We’ve been in the pipe 5×5 all the
