A

All right: here's your picture stage. Two though I think it'll be a bunch of sprint or win stage. Two they've got a strong alpha team. Here, yeah I mean there's no one anywhere near as fast as all things all right.

A

Just depends like uh suppose: if someone takes it up in it right yeah the front wants to make it happen before you get there. You know it doesn't still. For example, there's two man breakaway all day it'll be easy, no matter what terrain it goes over, but if everyone's fighting with the gc and the overall on day, one or day two still time gets pretty close, it could be absolute chaos.

A

Eight-Man team, so enough, the big pro tour team's got control of it yeah. I suppose sky bit I'll, settle in swift, all right, yeah, exactly yeah pretend swift wins stage. One and stage two comes pretty pretty all right. It's only a two or three-man breakaway, but it wasn't a short.

A

The the course will make the selection rather than all the attacking yeah. I think everyone knows that it's like a lot breakier than what the top so yeah, I'm thinking about flying, oh yeah. I know here's a quote from one of the giant: the directors or managers, you sort of say, look paper. It looks fairly flat and straightforward these three days, but you know from the tour last year that it's not going to be like that. I think they're starting to come on yeah.

A

It's like everyone doesn't realize that the roads are so small as well.

A

Should be alright stage, two again but stage one on stage, anyone who's gonna wanna, be anywhere on gc is gonna have to fight for the front, because the road is just narrow and twisted and down should make a progress, though yeah that should be good, yeah yeah. It should be good, just open.

A

There's no reason to believe that the race this year is going to be any less exciting, even to get a tiny fraction of people who turned out last year. It's still going to be huge, so yeah come out and enjoy the race.
