  Speaker 1: Andrews in a Sport Morning Andrew greetings, right, hey, what
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it's going on? These cyclists, twenty of them, they could
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: actually get in quite serious trouble with the authorities in Belgium.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, a Tour of Flanders which is won by today
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: k pagatri Orse to France multiple champion, probably going to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: go have another crack this year. But it's the small
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: dilemma that during the race, the what do you call
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the warning signs came down on a railway line and
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a train coming through, and some cyclists snuck through because
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the competitive and thinks the juices are flowing. So yeah,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be some questions asked apparently about this story
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: from es Day, but it's going to be ongoing. So
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: some continuing across the railway line. They were told to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: slow down after the submit to sort of let the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: peloton catch up to some degree. But I was just intrigued.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I thought, if you're in that scenario, money on the line.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: There's a red light, do you risk getting club at it?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You know whatever?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The train's going at two fifty k now or something
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: of it's a fast service.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's can Zen in Japan.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Fancy that, I don't know. You're on the road, you've
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: got to obey the road rules.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have that's right.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So they could fund themselves in a bit of trouble.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Lawrence pethiddenws Yonder, he's not in trouble apparently,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: So that's some constellation from that.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And finished strongly took Hey, what about the first Kiwi
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: woman to win an NCAA basketball title in the state.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Charlie's leader Walker. This is a tremendous achievement, pioneering. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: speaking of pioneering, I mean Megan Campaign, who is the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: only New Zealand woman as far as I'm where to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: play in the WNBA the draft on April thirteen, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Charlie's sad to Walker could follow suit. Of course, she
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: played originally for Washington State and then moved over to UCLA,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: so she's been in the system for some time, American
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: college system, but has really done an outstanding job there
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: as part of that team. And good luck to I mean,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's just that's an amazing I love seeing pioneering,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: pioneering events from New Zealanders overseas, and she's been part
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of one very.
• 2:06

  Speaker 2: the missing the they're going to miss the semi fire
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: straight through, I should say, to the semi finals to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: play the extra game. It's a fine achievement from BEF
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: priestsman and that team. But of redeemption for her, but
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: also the men now coming into the reckoning. They're in seventh,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: what three wins from three and now after she and
