    27 seconds down Las caros there as well now the good thing about this is that vlasov is on his way to returning for rogl he can get there you can expect another quick emptying of the tank but he can’t do that now Rob that’s that’s the problem he can’t do that now you could do that when you got Rider fresh behind you but Ritch is at his limit so even if Lov gets to him yes you’ve got the benefit of that tiny little bit of eror well just a little bit of draft behind him but he can’t ride too much faster than what he’s already doing so even if he does get back he can’t really ride much quicker than what he’s at already riding on the front as hard as he can within himself so he can limit his losses but I think if lasso get back he’s still only going to go out because he can’t ride quick than what he is RIT starts to be in quite some danger right now real danger the gaps at over 20 seconds it’s at almost half of what it needs to be for Matel jensson to win the doing it even a pull a game riding quite a mature race and knows that he’s not 100% this week but he’s riding to his own power and I guess when you’re up against the likes of poacha RIT has seen this week maybe even vigore as well and the rest he might have to do this at some point during the tour to France so in terms of training rehearsal it’s perfect for him but it’s nowhere near perfect for r glitch it’s 30 seconds now Adam BL 30 seconds but they’ve got roughly around a kilometer to keep bringing this Gap out Rob after that it’s down probably not going to gain too much after that so this is it face is completely changed for Jenson now look at the shoulder starting to rock and roll looking where he’s going not looking really down at the wats anymore just concentrated need to go full gas not worry look at Derek G behind well we already thought he’d had the breakout ride of his career in GC terms this week he’s proven it once again and Primo RIT fighting well battling hard again if he overcomes this this is a good sign because it shows that there is that capacity to still come back but 30 seconds is serious and look at Rodriguez Rodriguez jensson and G just over the top here yeah we’ve got the GC this is downhill to the Finish now starts just kick up ever to slightly again all the way towards the finish line but as said not these guys only 2K to go [Applause] Lads here we go 31 seconds reminder 52 seconds is the gap if Jorgenson wins the stage 10 six and four bonus seconds on the line it’s anywhere between 52 and 58 seconds the magic number depending on what happens out front and jensson is trying to make sure of it he will be absolutely dreaming here difficult one though this Rob youve got the stage win there up for grabs and you’ve also got the GC which is still 20 seconds away if he won the stage which one does he go for both yeah one and a half km to go and the doer is exciting as ever and Derek G is just starting inter seed he’s been Unstoppable in this race so far it’s been a voyage of Discovery from him but Matel Jorgenson is riding away here and riding ever so close to Primo rogl who is 35 seconds behind him this is it for Jorgenson it’s flat out all the way to the Finish look at Rodriguez’s body language look at Jorgenson starting to B he is committed to this GC not bother about the stage we not looking behind him not asking for a turn he just wants to get that yellow Jersey on his shoulders RIT had a minute and two seconds to play with at the start of the day and had looked unfappable Unstoppable this week third day in a row in the mountains everybody wondering if he was going for a hattick but the Tank’s empty the lights flashing and the engine might be stalling 39 seconds now as he comes into the final kilometer for Matel Jorgenson needs a bit of a turn here for Rodriguez who stands to gain himself now with G dropped Rodriguez is getting I closer to the podium as well what an exciting finish and Rit has just over a kilometer to ride his heart out but it’s 42 seconds and Adam Blade this is going away from Primo RIT here this is going away from me this happened at 6 kilm ago they’ve had roughly about 800 M of downhill the damage that has been done by Jorgenson here is massive 19 seconds at the minute in the general classification that’s what he’s got to make up if he wins the stage as you said Rob another 10 seconds so put that down to 17 seconds Now 44 seconds 45 seconds up on him ooh this is going to be close high drama at the do and there’s a big Tailwind here did you see that yeah massive 44 45 400 m it’s going to come down to a question of a second or two Matel Jorgenson out there he could do with the 10 bonus seconds as well remember Rodriguez hanging on and looking for a victory himself it’s been a good day for the inos grenadiers and the former Spanish National Champion they’re really knocking along at 40K an hour here as Rodriguez does come around he himself is attacking up to the finale Jorgenson’s there and looking to see what he can get it’s been quite the race from him and Vima lisik with all of their bad news are still going to get something out this race if not a dream performance it’s a stage victory for Carlos Rodriguez it’s second place to Mato jensson the clock is ticking Derek G is going to finish on the podium of the doin Sensational ride from the Canadian but what is the score behind the clock’s ticking a reminder it is 56 seconds now required and I think Primos RIT might be about to save the day so much drama here comes RIT that clock ticking it’s tense it’s tight and the Slovenian who’s given everything might be on his way despite the doubts despite the big knockout punch from Jorgenson to be able to save it he does RIT is the winner of the doph for the second time in his career and Bora hansra have it for the first Here Comes aaple as well but there was Jorgenson the stage win’s gone to Rodriguez G has appeared RIT is here aol’s in the mix what a tour to France we have on our hands

    1. There is a close finish, new viewers potentially watch this highlight video, and commentators are too cool to fully speak out abbreviations like GC . Very uninviting for potential new fans

    2. Will take multiple teams multiple attacks none stop if they can stop Pogacar. It worked before so Pogs is not a certainty. The TDF has a lot of riders who are all great on their day in the mountains so again he can be beaten

    3. It's so easy to win races when you are in good shape without injuries. But it's far more impressive to win when you're struggling with injuries, because you have to beat yourself first. Respect and love for Primoz – a true warrior with heart of a BIG champiom!

    4. Learnings from the Dauphine:
      – A simple altitude camp can make you fly with the best. It can make you climb like a god even though you never performed like it in the past.
      – Winning a Time Trial and always been talked about as a favorite, even though you have nothing to show for, is not enough to Win a Dauphine and will not be enough to Win the Tour.
