Aitana

Yes

... firstly, I feel like, you know, Aitana not being in it I also understand because she was injured for a large-

Yeah

... large chunks of the season.

It's, the Ballon d'Or is always so unpredictable, whether that be the nomination or...

Well, the winner not so much, 'cause I think it made sense for the last few years.

I think this year with Aitana being out, it, it probably will be Alexia Putellas just because of the incredible season that she had and the run with Spain that she'd had.

But, um-

That afternoon, Enric Mas would decline the red jersey out of respect.

He would end the following day wearing it with pride, having dropped all but Oscar Onley on the Aitana, and even beat the Scotsman in a sprint.

Behind Mas, a four-time Vuelta winner was riding like a man refunded his old legs.

Primoz was enjoying again.

Uh, and I would say in a lot of the other races when UAE is riding, uh, you're just on the limit the whole day.

You're just suffering, suffering, suffering.

And I would say the few days when Movistar rode, like on Aitana, some of these days- You felt like a, a cyclist again.

Mm-hmm.

So I, I sort of went down that line a little bit.

Wondered whether maybe he'd be into Aitana or someone like that.

Mm.

But then I realized that he, he has a sense of the epic, so maybe "Wind Beneath My Wings" I think is the, is the greatest epic song ever written.

I'm Devastated." Second place currently is, "Modest Pelican Microwaves His Water.

I'm Done." [laughs] And I got to make stuff like this, where I put Modest Pelican's logo over Aitana's face, and the body of the pelican perfectly matches her s- her body [laughs] in this image of, "I got engaged!" I thought that was great.

And there's some very funny lines, some funny jokes in it.

We'll, we'll, like, we'll, like, start talking about a thing and then, like, a joke will reference a previous joke made in the episode.

A story which you'd know if you, uh, watched the video.

I can't believe people didn't like this picture.

But when Peli, his Mrs., Aitana, and myself were out, um, doing bowling, going to arcade, doing darts, on one of the claw machines, A- Aitana got me this.

It's a little watermelon plushie, and it says, "You're one in a melon." And I thought that was just classic.

Bad Bunny won Best Male and Best Tour.

The Spanish phenomenon Aitana secured three wins, including Best Euro Song for Superestrella.

Carol Gee took Album of the Year for Tropicoqueta.

Incredible lineup.

It's also good for Primoz Roglic.

Yeah, but Tudons, Tudons and, and then Aitana, I mean, it's, it's hard, but it's not, it's not super steep.

You know? It's, like, eight, nine, 10%, which is still, you know, gradients where you can generate some speed and, uh, we could, we could see, we could see some, some good gaps.

Um, but yeah, these guys, these guys are close together.
