Well they’re they’re mustering and mastering just about everything push to the side of the road here please don’t go off into the ditch for goodness sake saw a little bit of that yesterday they almost bounce into each other and then spread wide again well they’ve uh just
About killed off this little breaket as you can see and so with 3 kilm to go um let’s bring you home shall we time to dig in uh we then are on an arrow straight road albeit with a little bit of pickup as you can see and this
Kind of really wears you down and and goes on for quite a while in fact we’ll this will take us to the lip of that little downhill section I was telling you at 2K so another 1500 M of uh kind of gentle ramp climbing at the moment
They then come down that it’s a it’s a descent with a 2.9% um incline Decline and then we have a plateau with a pickup at the end the very end itself actually is a little bit uh more testy than perhaps you might think you’ll see it they’ve already
Witnessed it as they’ve taken that that turn that the nasty turn comes with about 450 Meers to go couple of twist before then round [Applause] roundabouts and race radio declares all together Al about crazy I think you might say today Li per in the minty
Green um there he is just off center to the right hand side of your screen just screened at the moment by his uh deaon a2a mondal Team meanwhile K farmer also working hard here for Paul Mikel that would be a surprise today but surprises do happen kensen hermans and Stan Van
For UPS in kernick they’re uh they clearly believe in him and surprises have happened I think you might say that Paul Li Pera yesterday was a surprise well they intend to make sure that you don’t think of it as that way see almost looks good um in the Danish Champions
Jersey just over to the left hand side of your screen there uh being Guided by Leal Trek his teammates meanwhile it’s opened up this side of the road they’re all kind of staying here for the moment they will drift over to the left hand side in
Order to take that right hander a bit later but there’s a lot of road to play with and it’s because we have a right-hander but a very gentle one coming up so you can afford to take the fastest route through that corner indeed on that side of the road if it’s a focus
Turn you want to be on the opposite side of the road so they gently go left then they gently go right almost immediately so you’ll see them drift over to the right hand side of the road here it is it’s uh it’s kind of a Motorway intersection through there it is uh
Through the tunnel they go pop out the other side and then of course gently to the left they go the road straightens out but only for a couple hundred meters before it’s another gentle left so they’ve done one gentle left High Pace they will take a uh another gentle left
But it looks like the pace means it’s going to be a bit more focused so they go to the right hand side of the roads it’s an absolute mosh at the moment everybody’s here Brian this could be lethal I hope it’s okay yeah the head wind is doing this no control whatsoever
Um team’s kind of sitting back 1.6 to go now we see lais boys of decathlon now coming towards the front the yellow Jersey is there which is good to see but lero has been pushed out of it a little bit in the right hand side so he’s lead
Out he’s leading out but he’s not on it so right oh another crash at the back right in the middle of the pil inside the last 3 km have be given the same time but it was rather chaotic absolutely I’m just hoping that rogic wasn’t involved yet again and I’m afraid
There’s uh there’s more wreckage here than Riders um caros Rodriguez involved but the race will still continue at the front these guys are you so down the blue jersey it isers it’s all about damage yes it is and and IO does not look in a good place
I’m afraid he’s just off the top of your screen as we speak at the moment gotso Martin as well for usadel was another one of those involved as a principal that would have had a go today rogl battling his way through is actually staying with it he’s center of the road
At the moment it looks like he’s all on his Jack Jones D ag2 the mondal and doing a fantastic job and in fact they’ve got Mr minty green here Paul Lao is in a very good position just coming up to that final turn that they got to
Deal with it’s a right-hander coming up any moment now a 90 deer and uh they take it safely and now it’s time to do the climb Brian yeah just come around that corner know Ethan hat has been brought up um but here kovski is now at
The front Ean H over on the left hand side by the bar been pushed out a little bit drops in just behind n as well and bur is also in the frame here and now it’s a time to pick up Paul Lera need to see him can’t see him just for the time
But being picking up over the top it’s Aron buru on the barriers that’s hermans I think that’s coming through as well it looks like he between the pair of them let’s see oh it’s a win for alasin deck on another day of absolute Skirmish that
Was not nice at all didn’t like that one bit Brian zambanini it was for Bahrain Victorious ahead of aruru in third place for moar deetto for JA Doo an in fifth place after doing a lead out for zambanini Ethan hater six ahead of gregar vocala Brett and rellu

There are way too many crashes happening at the moment. Not sure what can be done about it but it makes for tough viewing.
Another one chalked up for a Cross rider.
When will Ineos realise that Hayter is a domestique/leadout at best? On paper, this is the kind of race he should be winning, at least podium in. Team went all out for him again and finishes 6.
do you need to say Spain? it's the (wide) Basque country tour: EH (Euskal Herria, Basque Country) Itzulia ("tour")
Not a fan of that finish. It was all about placement so it makes for a extremely nervous last kms.
