Patrick BroeHOST
Exactly.
Patrick BroeHOST
So Fisher Black's like a top five rider in the Grand Tours.
Patrick BroeHOST
Great climber, but she misses it in the TTs and some of the classic stages.
Patrick BroeHOST
So...
Benji NaesenHOST
like Nivea Doma put up the best client performance of all time at the store.
Benji NaesenHOST
Nivea
Patrick BroeHOST
Doma is just, she's the GC figurehead and she's going to have great support from Fisher Black.
Patrick BroeHOST
And you don't want everything to be on Balsamo.
Anthony WalshHOST
We're going to see Ní Fishear Black.
Anthony WalshHOST
And when you tune into Eurosport and the British commentators, you will hear the name Niamh Fisher-Black over and over and over.
Anthony WalshHOST
They do tend to focus on her a lot, which is fair.
Anthony WalshHOST
She came second last year.
Jesse CoyleHOST
It's a strange dynamic, says Finn Fisher-Black, who argues lack of funding from Cycling New Zealand for riders at Road World Championships can change approach to the race.
Jesse CoyleHOST
Speaking to Cycling News, Fisher-Black said he was looking forward to his third Elite Road World Championships However, while New Zealand's elite men's side will bring six strong and the elite women's team will have four riders in the lineup, Fisher Black pointed out that the lack of funding had not changed despite his sister Neem taking silver in the Worlds last year.
Jesse CoyleHOST
It is a condition of selection that riders must fund themselves to attend and compete at Road Worlds.
Jesse CoyleHOST
The lack of funds created a strange dynamic, Fisher-Black said, and meant that riders were acting more self-interestedly as a result, although personal friendships did reduce any potential friction.
Jesse CoyleHOST
Probably not world tour salary, but.
Jesse CoyleHOST
Corbin Strong, world tour.
Jesse CoyleHOST
Finn Fisher Black, UAE, good money.
Jesse CoyleHOST
George Bennett, good money.
Abby MickeyHOST
So a huge win for her.
Abby MickeyHOST
And then after that, it kind of went into the hands of three riders is specifically with Juliet Labu, uh, Lauren Dixon and knee Fisher black.
Abby MickeyHOST
kind of dominating the next three stages.
Abby MickeyHOST
We got two Juliet victories and a first professional win for Lauren Dixon and a back and forth in the overall for knee Fisher black and Juliet Labu.
Abby MickeyHOST
So our birth at sorry, Juliet, Juliet birth that.
Abby MickeyHOST
So, uh, yeah, a really, an interesting race and the racing was really, really good.
Patrick BroeHOST
No one had a teammate.
Benji NaesenHOST
I think Fisher Black came back to get with NSC rider Paul Marti from the-
Patrick BroeHOST
Yeah
Benji NaesenHOST
... from Narnia.
Daniel FriebeHOST
We've got Ivan Romeo, obviously a very happy Ivan Romeo, teammate of Enric Mas, the champion elect.
Daniel FriebeHOST
And then finally, we've got Finn Fisher-Black.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Red Bull were one of several teams that executed the satellite strategy pretty effectively-
Dani ArribasHOST
Yeah
Daniel FriebeHOST
... today.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Notably, for example, Callum Thornley, and I think it was Gianni Vermeersch, being picked up at the bottom of El Duque, then Finn Fisher-Black being picked up at the bottom of, uh, the Collado at the end.
Dani ArribasHOST
Mm.
Daniel FriebeHOST
So that, at least, worked out nicely for them.
