the tour to France starts in Italy this year and stage one is an undulating 206 km trip from Florence all the way to riny on the Asiatic Coast so who bet to guide us through the crucial final four climbs than the man who has won stages at all three grand Tours Mr Philip jilber we are here in Marcato Sereno four climbs remaining to the finish and this one as you see it’s going to be really narrow at the beginning with this bridge and then it’s really a lot of ramps 18% on some parts it’s really demanding and I think it’s going to be a big explosion on this one and this climb is also very famous for The Noy Marco pantani used to train here so this clim have a lot of history so after very very difficult start of the climb we are now in the air pins so as you see it’s going even steeper so for sure the first attacks will be here and a lot of guys will be dropped no question about it and after this little climb now we head to the next climb with a long decent quite technical after a very technical descent short section of flat we already hit the next climb this is the sun layo you can see the top over there so it’s like 5 km 7.7 average so it’s going to be some atlet suffering again so we’re on top of the sunleo climb this big corner here Rider is going to Sprint to the GPM point so it’s important to take this corner in a good position and I think that this climb going to just put more fatigue in the legs of the Riders and maybe prepare late attack of the leaders of the GC and there’s also a yellow Jersey to take so it’s going to be a lot of action in the coming kilometers so we are on the Pate climb of the day sun Marino is just behind us it’s going to be the next and last climb this one is steady but uh this last part as you see it’s quite open there is two valleys so big chance of crosswind also on this part so it’s going to be important to stay in the front and be attentive because you never know what’s going to happen [Music] here so we are on the last climb of the day San Marino climb it’s also another country that the two four visit the 13 on the list a lot of riders live here so I guess a lot of riders also know the climb it’s not that hard it’s going to be important to keep teammates with you around you cuz it’s still like 30ks to go this climb can be also the chance for the non GC Riders to anticipate try to get a small Gap survive and dream about this yellow Jersey that everyone wants [Music] we are in the Historical Center of San Marino this is the top of the last climb of the day it’s been nice to rec on that stage it’s really hard but the last climb is not that hard so honestly I don’t know if it’s going to be a Sprint or some Riders anticipating but there is a chance a mix of chance today so let’s see what’s going to happen but anyway we’re going to see a nice spectacle in rem mini for the yellow Jersey

Pogacar in yellow from day 1?
10 days left, cabt wait
Will the GC riders go in to the red on the first day with the horrendous 3rd week to come?
0:12 Philippe Gilbert is NOT the ONLY one to have won stages in ALL 3 grande tours. You make it sound like that! You should've said: " . . . than one of the riders who have won stages in all three grande tours . . ."
