today ladies and gentlemen I will take you through stage 19 from this point of view the front seat of EF education easy post I’m going to sit alongside with maty brashell the sports director from the team and maybe we’ll also get some insights from whatever is going on in the race from a sports director car the plan is done and um the boys are ready all in for the break vren is ready Piccolo is ready uh um steinhouse has already obviously had a big day but he’s full of morale and going to try also it’s kind of our last chance let’s see it’s going to be really difficult into fi for stage 19 of the jeto the last Breakaway Bonanza perhaps 3,000 M on the menu another big day awaits the stage starts well for mattity brel and his EF education easy post team as Andrea Piccolo makes it into the day’s first break we have Piccolo in the first group it’s a very very good situation for us guys it’s a very good group for got a very good job Andrea just do your thing work with the other guys 25 seconds guys in the peleton don’t sleep uh around the counter attacks here this is for Ro yeah it’s like a Sprint lead out with the pelaton quickly chasing the break down it’s a crucial point in the race as the escapes try to ensure they’re not caught keep going Andrea you don’t have time for looking behind you you you guys need to work together all right you guys need to work together 15 seconds eh very soon you turn left and then right onto the kicker it gets uh a bit narrow you can try and block the road pretty sure that koni and Al Philip and those guys will try and attack from the pelaton despite the team’s best efforts to disrupt the pelon’s chase the break is caught with 125 km remaining andx as it was grow with that last little Sprint that brought things back it’s suddenly a completely different type of Rider that wants to get up the own with the sudden attack back in the twisting and narrow streets Matty has to keep his Riders up to date with what’s happening in the race as well as formulate tactics guys we missed the break here don’t hesitate to uh open up the race again in the front you have five riders with Al Philip Naes Etc so if we don’t start pulling these guys will be gone eh keep going work for vren one two there is right in the after a big effort from the team Mel Honore G steinhauser and Mel valin all managed to make the jump to the front group the race is not over this was maybe the difficult part you know still a lot of climbing meters and the whole tactical game is going to start it’s a big group and it’s a it’s a to big group aqua what good job man sorry man the use this time to get as much fuel I have my colleague TJ up there now the break is gone and he will cover the break as the kilometers tick down Matty and his fellow director sportif TJ vangarderen try to work out how to win the stage the descend of the cat ton that’s super I know G City’s feeling a little bit and I just don’t know if Michael has a leg do you think it’s worth it to attack like on this next little clim seems pretty far but you also have to keep in mind that vren hasn’t pulled at all so Na and Al FIP those guys they actually been out there for a while despite their best plans it’s the legs that ultimately decide who can hack it in the front group with G Stein Hound are the only Rider left from EF education easy post and soon the team has more concerning matters to deal with we just seen that Andrea Picolo has abandoned the J Italia this looks like why sadly Andrea’s injuries force him to abandon the race with just two stages remaining and at the front Stein House’s heroic win from two days earlier catches up with him but the young German valant battles home in third [Applause] Andre again at the Jalia and third place to to G Stein another of the young discoveries of this brilliant brilliant race ended up third really good job of the g once again just proves he’s a he’s a yeah a big Talent uh super nice result

great to see how teams strategize in race situations, more of this please!
They really should use right-hand drive cars with a dedicated driver so the race director can sit in the left-hand seat looking at screens, strategizing and handing out water/food while someone else concentrates on the driving!…
