CENTRASEIRĂ - Episode 4: Sitting face to face!

[Sir Lüc]

So Glüc and I finally met in person over the last weekend, with TCAT scheduled to begin in less than a week...

What better coincidence to record the fourth installment of Centraseiră in person - Talossa's beloved(ish) occasional podcast (mostly) about the Talossan Cycling Association Tour!

This is going to be a fair deal more cycling-centered than episode 3 - there's still ten minutes of general chat if you're down for that at the beginning. If cycling is not your thing though, I do kind of want to record Episode 5 in the (not too distant) future, and cover more Talossan topics.

In this episode:
- Lüc admits to the existence of kompromat involving raw herring;
- Glüc yawns loudly (I cut that out, you're welcome);
- Lüc gets guilt-tripped over taking part in Talossachess;
- Glüc also wants to guilt-trip you all into doing a game night;
- Lüc recounts getting spanked (in boardgames);
- Glüc is happy about the composition of the TMT20 final, less so about the order.

But mostly:
- We discuss our weekend together in the Netherlands up to that point;
- We briefly discuss TMT20 results and other chatroom activities;
- We play our usual Velogames credits guessing game for the upcoming first leg of TCAT 2025, shadowing Giro d'Italia 2025.

We hope you enjoy - and remember signups for TCAT Italy 2025 are open over in the Chatroom!

Quite an interesting listen! I'm not finished with it, but I love hearing fellow Talossans engage like this!

Good to see that you guys have had a nice weekend in the Hague, next time ride a bit further to Brittany for the Euro-Haxh! 🏝�...🚴🏼🚴🏼==

[Glüc]

Thanks again Lüc for visiting and of course for setting up and editing this!

Fwiw I suppose I wouldnt be offended if people only listened to the first 10 minutes and skipped the 50 minute tcat discussion (although that would mean missing out on some useful information for your tcat teams ;) )

On that note, I should probably add that apparently Wout van Aert has been ill on top of having a bad season and being basically a leadout for Kooij. Of course there is always some upside to him because he can score loads of points in a good three weeks, but there is no indication that this will be a good three weeks for him and then you're just wasting soooo many credits, so my advice to anyone who happens to see this: Do NOT pick Wout van Aert (unless you really like taking massive risks)


24 hours left to register  for TCAT (or change your team if needed)...

Eeeh, nevermind

I'm glad I didn't take your advice. Haha!
