Welcome back to the Segment Tips Podcast, everybody. I'm Kayle Fritz and Johnny and

Ronin are having a tickle fight over here. What do you? I think Ronin is gonna to miss me when he goes, so he's getting in all the quality time

we can now.

And we've got a special guest with us today, Pippa York, welcome back.

Hello again.

Good to have you.

And we're sitting where...

Well, Ronin, you set the scene for me and then we'll have Johnny give us the stage rundown.

Well, we're high up in the Alps here, aren't we?

We've just crossed over from Switzerland in, barely into France,

what a kilometer or two down the descent from where the border is at the top of the

penultimate claim of today's stage, wasn't there was a claim to the finish so that the main

climb that we've seen a little dip at the end yeah we're about halfway down that dip and yeah it's

pictures here isn't it we've got so

if you want to know exactly where you are the other side is part of mongia

and this is this is called the the climb to châtel so we're in Châtel and this side isn't the Padmour-Gamp because that's the Swiss name.

Well I have to say Châtel is lovely with all the...

Shalles that we have around this.

The hillside is clattered on them, you might say.

It's very, very built up. I was speaking to someone coming up the hill from the

from the team buses afterwards and we're saying the Purnees isn't like us at all. It's not as

overbuilt, it's not as crowded. It's much quieter. Well not empty, but yeah.
