And this is a horrible stretch of road for him isn’t it yes this is a really killer of a road straight straight road here and um yeah we can see the group of riders here there’s you know a lot of riders here and looks like is Benish

There just a bit further back uh nasson certainly is nasson yeah it’s it’s it’s an interesting one um and we can see here you know 9 seconds it’s coming down rapidly and it’s going to be a a big ass for Tes to hold off all the way here 8

Seconds as it’s do with this big turn on the front for a they’re having a wonderful start to their new life new Co title sponsor new bikes new equipment and they’ve been doing really wellis I think is running out of gas and it’s still got it’s a monster turn from the

Frenchman stringing it out in one long line as there’s a few Riders getting back here or there this group is a bit bigger than it was before that downhill yellow jerseys a massing at the bottom which suggests that maybe Olaf Koy has made it back there certainly five Riders there for visma Lisa

Bike kidis now returning to the front after gon’s long turn and K on the right hand side there racing around lauron piy here 2.9 km to go 6 seconds but he’s giving it another go over the motorway Bridge here just as the control at the front of the peltin maybe we saw a

Little bit of hesitation after that long ter from godon everybody thinking about setting up small lead out trains bson of course is in there let’s not forget he has to be the big favorite in this company if you’re tuning in late there’s been bonus seconds taken by aapol by Bernal 5 Seconds now

2.4k to go in the opening stage of pinis and looking down Olaf Koy is in the mix number 45 on his back in the yellow Jersey and Bennett and Bennett is there as well for dick atlon that’s good news for the Irishman this is a bigger group than we had before and suddenly

Mar bson might not have it all his own way inos moving up here try to keep their man at the front and try to avoid any hiccups after what’s been a very very good day so far for them even a ball down in the middle Fred right to

Watch as we look at number 171 Kaden Groves has made it back to this Bunch as well so one by one they start to show their faces the sprinters who’ve managed to get back on we go into the final 1 and A2 km now remember sha twist turns

It’s not a straight forward run in this no and we can see you know the um the move of the uh sprinters were a bit further back but they’re starting to push up here they know this final we can see here uh is that pson there having a

Little no Sten actually having know a bump against one of the guys from Vima Lisa bike Mattel trentin will be the manual Sprint for Tuda Pro cycling he in the black Jersey Bennett is now being moved up just behind him in the light blue jerseys of dck atlon the left hand

Side you see Koka and his team C is trying to get it in around as well it’s speed bumps are plenty at 55 60k an hour they got under the flag but remember a big turn right a sharp twist left and then it goes right again before a final

90° left towards the end and here come this Malisa bike they have ol AF Koy ready to Sprint it out Michael Matthews is there Kaden Groves as well Sam Bennett in the mix we know there’s Neil zov there’s Brian kokar and right at the front in Prime position as they come

Through the shot left with around 700 M to the line here it’s Mar pearon and yasper St who’s doing a fantastic job for him but it’s going to have to be a long turn this from sta almost 3 hours and 36 minutes of racing 500 M to go

Ko’s up there and ready and D putting a rider up there as well who’s madis Michels sitting up there in fifth place you can see Lawrence py to now Sam Bennett fighting he gets himself into a position coming up to this final sharp turn now then they finish and see the

Line there we go the lead out’s done and it’s Pon who takes it up at the front over the top of the hill can he hold on to the line final turn now here the line will be in sight NOCO is on his wheel

Coming up behind as well as OV but it is pson who’s still at the front trying to stay at the front but Coy is pushing him Coy’s going all the way it’s a classic fight between the two that neck and neck to the line KY has his hand in the air

At the end of day one in bahin it was pillon it was Coy it was py it looks though as if Ola Koy has taken Victory on the opening [Applause] Bis that was tight a strange old Sprint it looked for a while as if they weren’t moving on the uphill there the twisting the turning the moves pson had to take it up early though shaan KY looks as though he just edged away and edged

Ahead at just the right time yes I think KY he actually know timed his Sprint perfectly on the wheel of matz pson and you know mat Pon had a perfect lead out uh from uh uh from his teammate but we can see K here when he kicks you know he

Just uh comes by and uh I think he wins by what a wheel Olaf Coy ahead of M person Lawrence py with a podium in pinis and just behind Neil OV of DM fic Pell to take fourth place Michael Matthews is up there as well mtis Michels for and

You can see in the black Jersey that Matel Tren was not far away Kar CAU out behind Bennett had to make that big effort didn’t he with about a kilometer to go or just under a k to go to make it up there and it’s all avco and Vim Malisa

Bike who take their first victory of this fisap tried succeeded in getting the bonus seconds but the first winner and the first leader is with a visma Lisa bike jersey on his back he of course is Ola Koy and there he was it was difficult for Pon Shan

Because stvin had to take it up really early with over a kilometer to go yes well we see Pon um you know in a good position but he needed you know a man to go a bit further take him into that final corner and you know just just

Uh just know catapult the Sprint for him at high speed that’s what Pon need but he had to do it on his own out of the final quter and when you have a man like Olaf k your wheel well then it’s going to be a really difficult one to hold him

Off from coming over half a wheel just under half a wheel in the end for Olaf KY a good win and Coy continues to quietly build a very strong palarz yet to make his grand T day but that will come in May it’ll come with wal F leading him

Out that’s a scary Prospect for the rest of the sprins if he’s winning on the complete flat on the uphill on the crazy on the twisty and turny he’s winning very very strongly indeed so we’re about to get the top 10 I can tell you ol AF Koy has taken

Victory over Mar pson and Lawrence piy and here it is classified results after stage one KY peon p with aov and Michels Matthews TR SC Mo D and Groves Olaf Koy takes the opening stage and the lead
