Patrick BlakeHOST
Yeah, literally.
Patrick BlakeHOST
knocking on the door you know they they saw me being some 50 year old and went this guy's absolutely insane uh get him signed up yeah pinarello q36.5 acting like they've got the freaking argos catalog in front of them and it's christmas time but funnily enough they've been relatively quiet actually and since our last video which makes sense because they've been They've been dominating the transfer discussions early on.
Patrick BlakeHOST
I think, realistically, the biggest move has been, well, let's call it the duo combination of Gall and Mulberger, both from Decathlon going to Lidl Trek, which Gall, after his third place in the Vuelta, second place in the Giro, let's face it, outside of the big juggernauts of the sport, that being...
Patrick BlakeHOST
From a GC perspective, Pogacar, Jonas, Avnupal, Del Toro, Seixas, I realise that the list is getting longer and longer as the years go by.
12 MINS LATER
ScottHOST
But Alaphilippe, tangents aside, Richard Carapaz, we talked about him before, obviously fourth in the world to España, got his mountains jersey top 10 and two stages in the Tour de France.
ScottHOST
Very attractive rider, as we know.
ScottHOST
but he's getting towards his twilight of his years you would expect and he's presumably on the market which is great shame for Voctors but I think he has probably had quite a he has lived up to the big expense I think for the team as well but obviously we talked about this before Pinarello Q36.5 And in that company, they seem to be the two front runners, I think.
ScottHOST
But yeah, what do you make of this? Has your view changed, Patrick? I mean, where would you go if you were Carapaz?
Simon RichardsonHOST
Now, going back to roller coasters, what about Eddie Dunbar? On Friday, he broke the heart of Santiago Buitrago by catching and dropping him almost in sight of the line on the mountaintop finish.
Simon RichardsonHOST
It was a brilliant win, though, and the first at a Grand Tour for his team, Pinarello Q36.5.
Simon RichardsonHOST
However, less than 24 hours later, he was out of the race, crashing on stage 20 and breaking his collarbone.
Simon RichardsonHOST
So get well soon, Eddie, but also congratulations.
Spencer MartinHOST
Eddie Dunbar won.
Spencer MartinHOST
Pinarello Q36.5 flexing big time.
Spencer MartinHOST
They get first with Eddie Dunbar, third with Thomas Glogg, fifth with Marcel Camb- Cambrury.
Spencer MartinHOST
Cambruro? I've never-
Daniel FriebeHOST
Santi Buitrago was second in the end, 14 seconds down.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Thomas Gloag of Pinarello Q36.5, strength in numbers was key for that team today.
Daniel FriebeHOST
He was 23 seconds down in third place.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Berrade of Kern Pharma, 44 seconds down in fourth.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Camprubi, also from Pinarello Q36.5, he was 1:44 down.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Then we had Leknessund, also very active in several breaks today.
Daniel FriebeHOST
He was sixth, two minutes and one second down.
28 MINS LATER
Daniel FriebeHOST
Mm.
Ned BoultingHOST
Um, Andreas Leknessund was up there as well, of course, a, a Vuelta stage winner.
Ned BoultingHOST
And, uh, Santiago Buitrago, the King of the Mountains, was in the breakaway, as well as three riders from Pinarello Q36.5, including the Spanish national champion, uh, Campnauby, um, Marc Campnauby, and, uh, Tom Gloger from London, from South London, and Eddie Dunbar, um, who eventually goes on to win the stage.
Ned BoultingHOST
Um, it, it signaled from quite a long way out as they go over the top of this big, uncategorized climb and drop down to the coast again, and they're approaching through Málaga.
Ned BoultingHOST
They're approaching the, the final climb.
12 MINS LATER
Ned BoultingHOST
Um, but, but he's got there.
Ned BoultingHOST
And he's riding for, you know, never mind Decathlon.
Ned BoultingHOST
Pinarello Q36.5 are on the quiet building a very impressive roster of riders.
Ned BoultingHOST
Uh, you know, it used to be the Pidcock project.
Patrick BlakeHOST
Well, it was probably the longest breakaway phase that we've ever had.
Patrick BlakeHOST
uh in this well as i ever thought we've had in this race where i think it took gosh it's the best part of over 100 kilometers to actually form a breakaway there were lots of attacks counter-attacks i think even carapaz was trying to get into the breakaway armazel which did kind of force their neck company inios were closing it down there were so many attacks and counterattacks it's impossible and kind of futile to report on them all essentially what ended up happening is that a breakaway did eventually form of roughly 15 riders they were given 6, 6.5 minutes by a Movistar led peloton In that breakaway included Boitrago, Dunbar, Gloke and Camprubi all for Pinarello Q36.5 as well as Lecknason, Guillaume Martin plus a teammate.
Patrick BlakeHOST
And, yeah, Chris Hamilton, the marker, Rudy Mollard, etc., etc.
Patrick BlakeHOST
About 15 riders also.
Spencer MartinHOST
But someone asked me, so-
Johan BruyneelHOST
Well, I mean, there's, there's another, there's another team who's signing, you know, a lot of riders, uh, where apparently the budget is not an issue, is Spinarello.
Spencer MartinHOST
Yeah.
Spencer MartinHOST
I, I-
Lionel BirnieHOST
But stage two was, uh, I think obviously going to be a sprint, and so it proved in Skegness.
Lionel BirnieHOST
And, well, it was a showdown, wasn't it, between Tim Merlier, Olav Kooij, and Sam Bennett and Matteo Moschetti up there for Pinarello Q36.5, who got third and fourth.
Lionel BirnieHOST
But Merlier for Soudal Quick-Step or Fixall Quick-Step as they rebranded themselves for the Tour of Britain, I think, again.
Graham WillgossHOST
Yes.
14 MINS LATER
Graham WillgossHOST
But it was an absorbing race for sure, um, in that final stage.
Lionel BirnieHOST
It was.
Lionel BirnieHOST
I mean, uh, just before we move on to talk about, uh, the two Bens, one at the end of his career, one just starting out really, um, just also wanted to mention that Tom Pidcock, who had been on kind of the long list as a potential to ride the Tour of Britain for, uh, Pinarello Q36.5, decided not to.
Lionel BirnieHOST
Having won the World Mountain Bike Championships a week or so ago, uh, that was his first win in the Mountain Bike World Championships since 2023.
Caley FretzHOST
We are not in any way involved in this particular project Which is just a rebrand of team co Is nearing launch according to chris With broader team support which is a big important point and At the same time UCI president David Lapartient is set to unveil his own plans for reform at the Professional Cycling Council meeting today actually So where do we stand with this johnny? What why is this one? Why is this one a little bit different than before? So I think if you read between the lines --and I didn't-- I could have texted Chris about this, but I chose to just read the article like everyone else.
Caley FretzHOST
The big change here seems to be the fact that it's being led by Ivan Glasenberg who is a minerals magnate and now also the backer and owner of Pinarello Q36.5 Team, the team of Tom Pidcock.
Caley FretzHOST
Mm-hmm.
Caley FretzHOST
And along with that, so that's a lot of money behind the project that's not contingent on Saudi money which seems to be ebbing from the likes of LIV Golf and The Line which is obviously a massive shame Um, but it's also brought along fifteen WorldTour teams and, uh.
36 MINS LATER
Jonny LongHOST
Um, [lips smack] Richard Carapaz as well, did you see this news? That he's apparently, uh, leaving EF Education-
speaker_4PANELIST
Yeah
Jonny LongHOST
... niest Petit, which is a shame, and he's got Netcompany, Ineos, NSN, and Pinarello Q36.5, uh, chasing him.
Jonny LongHOST
Benson says that, uh, i- NSN and Pinarello Q36.5 aren't necessarily, like, serious seriously interested parties, which makes me think Carapaz's agent is using those two teams to get a higher salary for Ineos.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Happily, McKenzie would finish the stage, albeit in last position.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Wismar Lissaberg and Kofidis had been pulling all day, but now Pinarello Q36.5 moved to the front, with Eddie Dunbar apparently poised to attack, or raise the pace at least.
Daniel FriebeHOST
It was around this point, with 35 kilometres to go, that Jay Vine sat up from the peloton, put the family hacienda on him tomorrow at Calar Alto.
Daniel FriebeHOST
The expected Dunbar acceleration came two kilometres from the summit of the Alto de Aledo with Wout van Aert doing the job that was Matthew Brennan's yesterday, marking the moves.
