CHAPTER

Is It Harder to Hire a Players and Run After Them?

A. I think it was kind of forced on us at ollipop because everyone was remote. So if you're hiring somebody remote and you're constantly checking, are they working? It just makes you absolutely insane. If we're hiring a players, like, obviously there's a substantial possibility that someone will burn out at a certain point. But if you know that the base line is that they're crushing and kicking us, it kind of makes it a lot easier. Something that's also something that i've learnt, i guess, over the last year or two. He copletely agreed.

Well, before we finish looking back, Luke, let's talk after the ads a little bit more about Paris because it was a crazy finale on the Champs-Elysé. I don't think any of us were ever going to pick the winner in our WhatsApp. Prediction's league. We'll have some more listeners' questions and then maybe we'll cast our minds forward to what else is to come this year. Righto, Paris.

Speaker 2

But it didn't quite happen. No, you had that shape of... On the nose of the peloton for most of the laps where it was also stretched out, wasn't it? You could see when you get the helicopter shot, you can see the stress that's going through the sprinter's teams just by the shape that the peloton

takes. And Paris, you watch on TV and you see them sipping on the champagne, you're like, ah, this is a procession parade and then you get on the Champs-Elysé itself and you're like, this is so hard. It is in such a hard race. Maybe for me, more mentally, because you switch off the night before you're like, right, the tour's over, but that is a hard day in the saddle. The last, I don't know, hour and a half, two hours, whatever is on the circuit, but they just... They just whacked it and kept the tack in, brought back the tack in, so super hard day or super hard final for sure. But like you say, with our predictions, we've just been absolutely terrible. I mean, and then Jordy Muse just pops out of nowhere and takes the sprinter's crown.
