    stage five of the tour of Switzerland and the tough task ahead of the field many declaring this because of amendments to Stage six as the queen stage of the race Adam Yates responding in yellow at the start how would it pan out well strad out the back door plenty of climbing a start town of Ambry not that far away from carry where we would ultimately finish and indeed the mountain that would define the day was dealt with in the morning well we went on a series of loops and visitations before coming back to carry and taking on that test once again albeit in the opposite direction the crowds were waiting they’d seen them go by once could Adam Yates enhance an already impressive lead in this race that was the big question who’s going to do the work and would a breakaway have indeed something to go for at the beginning well the break was a sterling one right off the bat Y St M it was up there he had to bridge in the final Incarnation after alexenko had taken the first climb and the second he was the virtual mountains leader but it’s the yellow Jersey we were all concerned about indeed the amount of work that was being done by those chasing on the Breakaway it itself did fracture with a battle for the second bonus Sprint of the Day Watches up for grabs here and it seemed that the man that wanted them more than anybody else was this man could not help himself the M Star man Robo pushed on without it had to lick his wounds at least in that one the pace was absolutely Sterling with 11 km to go the climbing was properly underway the Breakaway finally killed off with Indus grenadiers setting a monster Pace we believed on this day it was for Tom pitcock he was sitting on the shoulder of Adam Yates just waiting for the inevitable attack by the Englishmen and as the lass started to take an effect it was bravery personified the young American Riello hit out from a now diminished group of around 20 Riders well others were really suffering Ricky teller would end up with The Young Riders Jersey after shelo really faded most of the work on the day being done by Sha AR maor it seems on behalf of Adam Yates after he burnt out his team just trying to keep a pace that was relentless to kick out those who would challenge him overall Tom Pitcock was one of those that suffered and in the end we had a quintet of talent up the road Almeida leading Yates tucking in close at hand to Egan beral enri Mass also along for the ride and rickell trying to latch on Adam Yates when he finally went for it however it was just a question of altering the tempo aler had emptied himself on behalf of Yates and it was Bal that hooked on to the leader also chasing into that void enrik Mass Riello just rounding almea who would try and reather himself for a push toward the line it was a remarkable performance by every single one of the five who were up the road but always the favorite for the day had to be Adam Yates when though would he go for it with 1200 M remaining a Tempo change and it looked like everyone was absolutely cooked but now first of the trio to fade Mass looking a little bit tired going to the barriers and Adam Yates just pushing on once again and his teammate Almeida remarkably rounding those ahead of him as well eating into the Gap passing Bernal next up targeting mass and away went in Hot Pursuit of his own teammate Adam Yates himself rounded it 100 me to go had a margin but just kept on pushing knowing that every second counts in every race extending his lead overall 10-sec bonus for him Al made a remarkably second behind Yates on the day picking up six bonus seconds it could come down to a time dral to find out who wins this race overall between the pair of them they have a margin now the overall standings Gap extended between Yates and the nearest nonua Contender to a minute and 11 Yates is in charge I made it 5 Seconds today egab Bal 6 seconds to drift Ricky T coming home big mover overall Ricky tallow [Applause] great leader of this race and a great deal at taker at 35 seconds beral at a minute 11 Mass a minute 49 rello up to 5ifth a minute and 53 Shellos seeding that Young Riders Jersey too Riello but it’s about the yellow Jersey as far as Yates is concerned and he owns it as well as the points Jersey and the mountains Jersey remarkable shorten stage six they took away the big mountain due to problems with the tunnel so a category one test to end the day short and sharp you might say knives are out for the Breakaway we think it’s going to be great [Music] [Music]

    1. Almeida carried the piano and almost played the symphony after doing all the hard work, it's fair that the team allows them to dispute the final GC without any restrictions on the ITT.

    2. Bernal way stronger than Pidcock – Bernal for GC and Pidcock for Stage wins at the tour. Maybe Rodriguez can do something aswell
