Johnny LongHOST
Great.
Johnny LongHOST
You know, can finish on the high of the tour with Richard Carapaz and it's time for something new.
Johnny LongHOST
And then Matt White is a, you know, another senior experienced person to, to bring in, to, to try and replace him in some sense, right.
Johnny LongHOST
With someone who may be, fits more culturally than hiring another top sports director.

Patrick BroeHOST
Alpe d'Huez was it? No, Alpe d'Huez.
Patrick BroeHOST
Because you also had Best Beef, Lenny Martinez and Carapaz, and Koos, and then Poggi breaking the record.
Patrick BroeHOST
I thought it was pretty exciting.
Benji NaesenHOST
Yeah.
Caley FretzHOST
And they spent
Johnny LongHOST
the money on Carapaz, so fair enough, that's probably a better move.
Johnny LongHOST
The Rockets, if they could find a tour-linked sponsor, it's like if we get the tour, you pay X money, that's a way you could engineer the Roglic transfer.
Johnny LongHOST
Because if you have Roglic and you have Groenewegen, I think it's really hard for ASO to...

EthanHOST
You're not going to see that again, are you, really?
BramHOST
Most likely not, but then, of course, the next day you had Carapaz winning up Alpe d'Huez as well, of course, from the different side.
BramHOST
But a double Alpe d'Huez and a Grand Tour, that's something special and definitely memorable.
BramHOST
Also, Remco beating Pogacar uphill.
Gary FairleyHOST
ah right that was that was our first can we say i'll tell you what the listeners if you're still here because our timing's going to pot again um give it if there's anything you want any controversial takes you have out there that you'd like us to yeah we publicly damn for and obviously keep it in the you know politically sound and all that kind of thing um non-defamatory um but yeah drop us a line cyclinglegendspodcast at gmail.com and just mark your email can we say but yeah next show we'll come up with another three talking points to to mull over for a few moments as we're getting to the cycling season is over we're already casting eyes ahead to 2027 and beyond The last few, the last couple of months I've seen some interesting moves in the transfer front.
Gary FairleyHOST
Notably the likes of Richard Carapaz going from EF to NSN.
Gary FairleyHOST
Filippo Ganna going from Ineos to Lidl Trek.
Gary FairleyHOST
Giulio Ciccone from Lidl to Pinarello.
David StanleyHOST
And I think it's a sign of a healthy sport that's moving in the right direction financially.
Gary FairleyHOST
Jonathan Votters was quite clear.
Gary FairleyHOST
I mean, he explicitly says that the early departure for Richard Carapaz was due to financial pressure.
Gary FairleyHOST
But everybody gets, you
Caley FretzHOST
You get like another half hour pod, sometimes more, depending on what we do in After Dark.
Caley FretzHOST
So if you want to hear about Dane's chat with JV this week and why they had to get rid of Carapaz, or they had to let Carapaz go, I guess is maybe the better way to put it.
Caley FretzHOST
didn't literally shove they didn't shove them out the door i literally
Dane CashHOST
asked i said those words almost exactly he said i didn't do that so
Spencer MartinHOST
We had to do it.
Spencer MartinHOST
And then you think, well, that's a big hole, right? To fill Richard Carapaz.
Spencer MartinHOST
He kind of is the team.
Spencer MartinHOST
You could have some guys internally step up and Healy Nielsen Palace.
Spencer MartinHOST
But to replace Richard Carapaz, you got to get creative, too, because if you don't have a lot of money, what are you going to do? I think a lot of fans and a lot of Reddit commenters forget this.
Spencer MartinHOST
Like, OK, so let's say budget is constricted.
Spencer MartinHOST
You've got to replace one of the top riders in the sport.
21 MINS LATER
Spencer MartinHOST
Yeah.
ScottHOST
As I was doing the edit, there was a confirmation of a certain someone.
ScottHOST
We were talking about Richard Carapaz leaving EF Education EasyPost, and we were talking how this would kind of derail them a bit.
ScottHOST
There wasn't really the people to fit the gap.
ScottHOST
Then, literally the next day, it was announced Theo Gegenhardt, former Giro d'Italia champion, was signed obviously he's had injuries and whatnot and uh yeah we we've seen his top level it's just whether if that top level can be rediscovered and equally and Ryder we've talked about before but the confirmation came through Ivan Sosa one of the hottest properties I think back in 2019 and uh yeah of course winner of the World Cup Burgos I think two times I really was seen as like the 2.0 version of Egan Bernal, like even better, but it didn't quite happen.
