    And there goes Remco Here Comes Remco aano G straight onto his tail and certainly alive to the danger and the Prospect today could be a defining one in the fight for the parin crown back on the snow may have neutralized the ride in 2016 but the following year saw Julian alip Victorious an individual time trial 7 years on this time a summit finish awaits the pelaton a brutal

    Parkour with a lot of climbing on the menu then monbu and up the summit twice winners yesterday UAE team Emirates with an opportunity to defend or extend their elevated position we have a really strong team so uh it’s my first race I don’t really know what to expect so it’s good to have

    My my teammates in really good shape so they can do a really good result as well so we’ll go day by day and see how it goes RIT and Evan pole needing to make up for lost time needing to make their Mark even if they won’t approach the

    Challenge in quite the same way it’s uh one of the most important days here for this week uh but for us I think we’re in a quite good situation for the moment I’m not too far behind the UAE guys and uh in front of some others so uh it’s

    Not really up to us to take control or to uh to put in some action so uh get through the day well and um yeah we will see what happens during the day but of course uh yeah today is not up to us of I think I mean the the attack you you

    Are always ready to attack but just the the thing is you need to to have LS so uh yeah we’ll see uh definitely is a challenging parkour uh will be hard and uh yeah hopefully uh when I have uh when I have the legs for sure we will do our

    Best second a year ago David got D in good shape hope hoping to make an impact on a bumpy day’s ride the field will roll out of shon with 183 km to Traverse an early Ascent up mon van but once they hit Kong the pressure ratcheted up seven listed

    Climbs and more than 3,000 M of punishing short climbs but with high percentages through b two times up MB offers a breakaway opportunity with potential for a GC shakeup a quartet of escape’s leading early doors on stage four Christian scaroni had already made his intentions clear Italian breaking out to snatch maximum

    Five Points up mon vanon the estan man soon joined by current King of the mountain Matthew Badu as well as Stefan biger and yasper Deo at 45 km an hour the four created an interesting advantage over the pelaton but entering the final 60 km that fell to within a

    Minute to end thoughts of holding out Mato bugado was second in last year’s tour def France in nearby belvon B the Frenchmen had already bagged 10 points when scaron kicked up the cod duris as the Breakaway splintered the time left the total energy King of the mountain

    Behind to solo over the summit scaron had 20 seconds on Bodo as he reached the first attempt at M Pui with the Pelon closing the gap the rain returned meaning no one willing to take undue risks over the next kilometers the estana ryer with 21 points earned an

    Equality showing and he ran out of time to further reel in the 28 of Badoo who defended the Jersey caught with 33 km remaining just ahead of the intermediate Sprint Bor hrove continued to Ride Hard Down The Descent her positioning punished severely that included small fractured yellow Jersey group with Brandon mcnolty

    Battling to hold on to it in the end on the flatter run towards the day’s intermediate Sprint it all came back together pretty quickly yet it was those who were looking for extras sniffing around the front py Evano RIT pushing on but who would take first Blass of on the front now looking

    Around to see where RIT is it’s a down to two really for the Bor hand scrow Squad it’s an all-in fight and Remco aole this is for the Sprint of course there 10 bonus seconds or six bonus seconds on offer here Remco aole wants to go toe to- Toe with primo

    Rogl and he’s going to get it and those riders need to get back into contention the UA team emirat squad can probably afford to lose a few there Evan aole gaining 6 seconds a couple more than RIT as they head for the penultimate climb the C Fu D short

    But not so sweet 5.1 km long and an average of 7.3% yellow Jersey mcnalty right behind Evol as sudo Quick Step up the pace but it was Australian Champion Luke pla who used that as a platform to attack 15 seconds built in a fine show of strength

    From the ja alula Rider at this point it became a race by elimination as started with Finn fiser black in the white jersey dropped even worse news for last year’s runner up David godu caught up in a crash the group amama fdj Ryder quickly 40 seconds of drifted the main

    Group a to order to get back in but one man chose to kick on Santiago brago of berin Victorious joining pla as the pair rode over the summit together the longest Descent of the day bringing the race towards a second crack at at M with 15 seconds and 10 km of

    Road be enough to see one of the jeo win UAE quickstep little Tre Bora inios all up at the head of the Pelton in service of their GC contenders yet come the foot of MB with 2 km left PL and Bago had ballooned to 40 seconds in advance and

    As they climb for the final time brago would make his move the Colombian kicked PL dropped as the GC group group past the flam Rouge evole attack but the others held on meanwhile brago chasing a first win in France surely assured at this point he’s coming to the line the baring Victorious

    Rider from Colombia is soaring to an extraordinary success here in par he raises his arms in Delight victory for Vago but will that come with the yellow Jersey Remco aopo wants to have a word about that as Luke pla comes across the line within 12 seconds he’s a

    Man for yellow perhaps today and I think he could have a shot at going into the yellow Jersey he managed to hang on clear of the rest of them re go hav a bu launches Skuse is there thereabouts Jorgenson trying to respond aen Bernal looking to go around the outside and

    Inside the final thundering 100 meters it’s rco ao’s going to cross the line in third place andless scale moose can get around the outside of him in the run to the line he could well get the finest bonus seconds here and skel MOA takes what could be crucial for bonus said per seconds

    There Sensational Santiago with stage four honors we Trio with second at the tour of Valencia the 24-year-old now a contender at parin and with Phil BOS winning at tyano erratico it was day of double Delights for team bin Victorious is really special now winner in French winner in

    The big big race no war two race no is for me very very important also for the team also winning trtic is amazing day for the team brain nothing I really really happy also for the teams of today really good good job nothing Bago with his third world

    Tour Victory and Rising 21 places into second overall Luke plap rewarded for a fine second the Melbourne native elevated into the maon the oie holds 13 seconds on brago with one of three Colombians in the top 10 evop 30 seconds down RIT more than a minute off the pace the favorites

    Failing to light it up Lawrence py fought hard to remain in the points classification leadership the Kiwi extends his advantage to eight points over matad pson Danny Von Poppel third at the head of a trio of duchies Mato bugu held off the challenge of scaron to

    Remain in poka dots 28 points gives him a seven point cushion over the Italian and after his heroic solo no surprise with trago up to third PL continued the theme of yellow and white combo the only difference from the GC Remco in third in the under 26 category stage five will be

    An opportunity for Redemption for lost time it’s off to the ardesh on a day that will be marked the number of climes but sprinters could yet be present unless the Breakaway goes all the Way
