28 years later minus Court as we see Tom Pitcock really pushing things Magnus CT and Yus ring a go but you cannot take your eyes off this bike race for one minute there’s something happening just about everywhere on the road it’s it’s beautiful to watch a confident descender isn’t it but it still leaves you with your heart in your mouth when you see the speeds that he was going around that fairly sharp right hand corner there and it is a big wide Road you this is what they climbed up yesterday of course you can see the apex of the corners and the exit to most of them because it is wide and open but nevertheless the the speed with which he shut this Gap Rob to the rides in front of him is is mightily impressive sha we’re talking 35 seconds he’s managed to eek out over the yellow Jersey on the first what 3 4 kilm of this descent yes well you know he is a a demon sender as we say iny you see the way he goes around the Riders here and you know he’s not making a huge effort and you know that is the thing here get out of the pelaton for The Descent when you have that quality of uh descending you can make up so much time without having to make too much an effort and that is the important thing here you know he’s going to yeah gain a lot of ground on The Descent and we could see him getting very close to the front end of the uh the the race here before we get on to you know the next uh the next climb and you know the telegraph but uh yeah he is uh eaten into the advantage of the guys that were out in front he goes past louel Beyond Chris F and moves up now and is the third group on the road just just look at the difference in the ability of the descending pitock versus the world really because the way he takes a corner there he must save a million Watts there just having to make that effort it’s incredible pitcock is added again he’s decided to move out from that group and anything that palus can do pidcock can do well maybe better certainly just as well I mean it’s impressive to go down like quick but he’s he what’s to come he’s got quite a bit of Valley Road before he starts to go to the Telegraph and just with two of him he can open up a big enough Gap great but if not they’re just in in no man’s like oh that was a close one next to that pure I’m not sure it is all about that at the moment but as the Gap continues to rise and as yo visma seemed content in allowing it to increase in terms of the time Gap that might start to come into the Forefront of our minds ad I’m watching this of course you’re marveling at this descent we all are you know certainly a lot about me where I’m sitting I I’m just looking at Pitcock and the way he seems to see each Corner the way he knows the entry and exit it’s so much easier yeah well I mean that’s the thing he doesn’t know the exit that’s the tough thing we’re going downhill is that the guys don’t know where the exit of the corner is they can see as far as they can see around the corner but it’s just knowing when to turn in and if you watch Tom he’s turning in late he’s throwing in biking late but he’s just kissing that apex of the corner perfectly and as I said you get as much speed as you can out of it but it’s also setting up for the next corner you can go out of one corner super quick Tom pidcock is the man who accelerates and it is Tom pidcock so good on the Cross Field exceptional on the mountain bike and he’s putting in the first test here on the road remember as Sha was just saying it is a tour to France debut with chicor at the back now with palus mik’s able to follow and fr looking as well look well he’s struggling to get to the wheel but he seems to be making it centimet by ctim to main keys but Tom pitcock looks over the shoulder he likes what he sees because the Gap is being maintained for the moment we spoke about chakor his sort of unpredictability and now he’s the one going out the back with neelon Palace and look at the face of Pitcock this week I spoke about this probably two hours ago the calm face of Tom pitcock all energy into turning the pedals smooth man Bal going backwards for DM that means that Gite Thomas is on his way up to the podium today Pacha is moving up from third to second but yonas vingo Remains The Leader 2 minutes 22 his Gap to Bacha Pitcock getting a shower here on his way up tremendous technique wonderfully ridden on the defense away down the galib Thomas Pig coock sees the Finish Line AA in the head but he better believe it because the tour to France blasts off to Planet pitcock on alpz he’s the youngest ever winner on this Mighty mountain and Tom Pitcock has hit the big time on the road world champion on the Crossfield Olympic champion on the mountain bike he is now a Bonafide tour to France stage Hunter and he has a win on his debut on the race [Music] [Music]
