Andreas FranceGUEST
If
GregHOST
I go to Worlds and Ben O'Connor wins, I'm going to be so mad.
GregHOST
I'll be like, this was the worst vacation ever.
Andreas FranceGUEST
But we all know a big dog's going to win because that course is so hard.
ScottHOST
And in terms of the ranking by pro cycling stats, they have put them 21st, getting two top 10s, two days in the KOM jersey, and yeah, not really too much to write home about.
ScottHOST
Obviously, they've had massive years with Ben O'Connor finishing second, Eddie Dunbar winning two stages, but yeah, nothing really here.
Patrick BlakeHOST
No.
Patrick BlakeHOST
I feel like the testament of all this that I refer back to is what can I remember them doing? And if I can remember them, then probably higher up the standings.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
Um-
Tom SouthamHOST
Ben was much better, too.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
Yeah.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
Yeah, exactly.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
Ben was much better than, than Quebec.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
So I don't know.
Mitch DockerHOST
So, so what happened, what happened with the whole, with the whole, um, Remco scenario and, and the, the punch-on and all that stuff? You got any insight on that?
18 MINS LATER
Mitch DockerHOST
I'm gonna sing the praises of the Vuelta again.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
So if they can-
Alex ClementsHOST
And like the teams, like Bling, Ben O'Connor, Hague, Stora, Jai.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
Storwalt, so the Aussie- Let's go.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
And Aussie guys as well.
Alex ClementsHOST
...
Alex ClementsHOST
Ben O'Connor.
Max GawnHOST
Uh, okay.
Alex ClementsHOST
So-so form, but not, not a-
Max GawnHOST
I'm sorry.
Max GawnHOST
He's still-
Alex ClementsHOST
It's still Ben O'Connor
Max GawnHOST
... easily one of the most talented riders we have, and I'm pretty sure, uh, was it Worlds in 2014? Uh, 2024.
Niall CanavanPANELIST
With Michael Walsh back in at fullback.
Niall CanavanPANELIST
And Ben O'Connor doing fairly well at the halfback line.
Niall CanavanPANELIST
Gerard Ford showed his experience yesterday as well.
Niall CanavanPANELIST
Jason Kennedy's back on the field as well.
Johan BruyneelHOST
know has dropped off the pace also was in the crash with with pogacar by the way so that's probably still uh bothering him oscar only crashed you know he's off the pace now so carapace is step by step initially he was sixth seventh right now he's in fourth
Spencer MartinHOST
yeah he's right there like off the podium he he tends to ride he has really good rides at the velta like you remember he was on yeah podium fourth or third a few years ago and then second he was second no I think Ben O'Connor was second
Johan BruyneelHOST
no Carapaz was second too
Spencer MartinHOST
in 2024 no no
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
So it can be frustrating.
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
But some of the best, you know, I think some of the best talking points of the entire year has been Kieran McGeaney, Jim McGuinness, Ben O'Connor, all these managers.
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
They get, they set the tone because the game is the game.
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
But them coming out with something interesting, that's what people chat about in the pubs later on.
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
I don't think managers understand the kind of influence that they have and how they can promote the game just from their interviews.
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
At the moment, we have McGuinness and McGuinney I would have up as the best in football, Ben O'Connor in the hurling.
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
Some of them can be quite boring.
Colm ParkinsonGUEST
I find the players quite boring, if I'm being honest.
David SpindlerGUEST
Old school GreenEdge was just like, we're dominating this, uh, Roubaix, or we're dominating this, or we're dominating, like, Garo winning is old school GreenEdge.
Alex ClementsHOST
But I mean, for that stage, it was Ben O'Connor doing the work early.
Alex ClementsHOST
It was Plappy being in there for support and it was Mara finishing it off.
David SpindlerGUEST
Yeah.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
Oh, look, I think he can.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
The thing is like when Primros took it off Ben O'Connor, he took it off like Ben O'Connor in like, I don't know, stage 18 or stage 19.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
Like it was in the death, like one of the last mountain stages and Primros saved it all up and went all in and took it off Ben, which we were thinking Ben's going to potentially hold on to win this red jersey, which we were pretty sad not to see happen.
Luke DurbridgeHOST
But he's a bit of a killer, you know, like he's a special beast.
