    just tucked in riding uh beautifully um alongside M Lander’s had a great day yeah the two Spanish Riders here you know they will uh cooperate and try and limit the losses here but uh we can see um Bing and go is losing a bit of ground here uh 21 seconds at the moment and you can see here on this part of The Descent this is where you need to have the power as well you have to invest a lot you know to keep the high speed here it’s not one of those the scents where you can talk in you know real arrow and let the bite just fly down you have to work at it and you know it’s the stronger one the stronger man here pogar is just pulling his Vantage out 22 seconds back to V and go can see Rodriguez there 32 seconds he’s doing a very good one and yeah the rest you know all just giving their all here in this final 8 kilm to the Finish Well their own gaps of course to those who sit behind them and Richard caras haven’t got a clock on him at the moment but I’m afraid he is e Crest with getting on for 4 minutes as a deficit over the top so the yellow Jersey will be transferring in the shoulders upon which it will rest I’d like to be this man if he just stays safe um he has been giving it absolutely everything on this descent no margin take it and uh very little margin for error the way he is going down here but he seems confident and happy a suggestion of a Superman took there but but anyway stays on the saddle um meanwhile y go still alone about to be joined here Sean by uh caros Rodriguez yes well he is doing a real strong uh descent here and he seems to be eating into the time uh of being a go and that would be an interesting one because still plus 6 kilm to go you know if they can uh start uh working together uh it is an advantage uh and uh it would be interesting one uh you know when he does come back to V go although he has quite a a number of seconds and on the downhill you know four 4 or 5 Seconds unless the rider out in front of you is you know really slowing it’s a difficult one to bridge it takes quite a few number of kilometers and as we can see 5.9 to go so we’re getting ever so close to the Finish Well you heard the uh the effects mic there on the motorcycle just picking up the foot pegs of uh the motorcycle pilot scratching on the side of the road those bikes have got to get out of the Gap here because Rodriguez is here so is RIT and they have W AO along for the ride as well they’re just about to draw back Jon’s finger go and so a quartet that could be a time traling unit you never know Sean it might be that they just have at least the closing of that Gap the reducing of that Gap if not the extinguishing of it within them yes well I think uh the man from uee are Uso he’s not going to contribute at all as you can see here he’s not taking it up as POG just goes and dos his pool on the front and it would be interesting the other three you know if they really cooperate together uh they could you know uh pull back this Advantage quite a bit because just on inside of 5 kilm to go but yeah is certainly uh going to be the stage victory for the uh POG and also the bones that the Finish you know he will be really wanting to get the stage Victory but the bones is also very important uh to him and he’s going to you know time TR all the way to the line right had eight bound seconds uh three clear of vingo going over the top uh he could have another margin of four even if it ended up as a Sprint but it’s going to be more than that I would imagine goodness me well if you’re not part of that group and aapo is now going to come up and join them by the looks of it Sean this could be many more hands to the pump let’s wait and see uh no help of course from one of Uso is going to act like a lead weight here but um they’ll be glad to see each other almost I think in this scenario um although vingo is possibly going to be the loser when it comes to the bonus seconds got some very good sprinters here as well of which he wouldn’t count himself as one well you never know at the end of a a difficult stage and the way this has been contested in the final as we can see Remco getting back in here uh this will be an interesting one out to see how well they will cooperate cooperate together and uh we go inside what 4 kilomet to go uh Remco again we could see that uh in the really fast uh technical part of the ENT he was in difficulty but use these time trial Powers you know to get uh back in here in this chasing group behind the so leader now after the flam Rouge it gets very very technical it’s almost like they’ve sent them around the marketplace so uh you know go and visit the broken biscuit store for goodness sake uh it really does weave about towards the end best thing to be is on your own and that’s what we’ve got here for uh uh for our man out front anal catcher um he’ll be able to threat it rather neatly those around him with so many twists and turns at the very last May well have some problems to kind of formulate a Sprint of any note because after the flam Rouge there’s a whole sequence of Corners it’s almost difficult to to describe them but basically after the flam Rouge you take a 90° right uh the road swoops around until about 350 minutes to go then you have a hair pin then another 90° uh right and then another 90° right before you’re allowed to finish it’s hell well let see it’s for our entertainment at the very last this man will be able to thread it he’ll give you a preview of how it is going to finish here he comes into town it’s almost do we dare fate him at the moment Shan he takes control of races early and doesn’t seem to be bowed by the pressure well when you look at the demonstration of uh pogach uh on this uh final uh climb here the final kilometer to descended we can see 90 km for help for those guys coming along and when you see the team as well the way they have you know bsed this race all through the stage and more so on the climb up the gallier um and look 34 seconds at the moment Advantage back to Vio has he’s going to take 18 seconds bonification with the 10 seconds to finish the 8 seconds he’s got at the top of the gallier this is going to grow out to be a very big margin it looked like that b go was going to limit his losses in the first number of kilometers of the descend he was holding there at that 9 12 seconds all the time but it’s growing out now and yeah it’s going to be a yeah huge loss for Vio and the rest of the challengers here to win this tour U most definitely we come down to the huge mounted storm drain here uh the trist and turns already been taken by talbo catcher U the others will be fighting for every single one of these apexes you can be sure of that 600 M remaining um the twist and turns have still not finished there’s all kinds of rivulets that have to be accommodated by Bridges so there’s pinch points all the way into town and these guys are now just starting it so y finger G that’s leading them in however if he can pick his best lines he’s going to have some fun here though comes Delo catcher look at the way it’s almost like a scribbly doctor’s signature here well healthy and happy is this man look at that totally undiminished his greatness in fact added to today he’s going to take 10 bonus second to add to the eight he’s taken over the Galer and he looks like a champion in Waiting this early on in the Tour of France you wouldn’t really hang that description on anybody you dare not but with him with this man with t tomorrow and possibly every day all the way to nice he’s in charge time then for everybody else rco back seeing all of those points Rodriguez hasn’t hasn’t finished as far as he’s concerned Rish is also here EV pole it looks like is going to take the the next B of seconds he’s got what three bike lengths already he didn’t look back he’s trying going to try and Marshall every single one of these apexes AO of course is picking up trying to limit the damage as far as bonus seconds are concerned even a pole is second on the day ahead of AO RIT comes in just after what a day what an amazing race we have here for for you it is something so special and if you want to know how special just look at those who are found out today on the Gia Sean amazing

    1. As an American, I really miss the Eurosport coverage of the Tour de France. The commentators and race coverage is so much better than NBC Sports.

    2. That was impressive. Pogicar showed dominance and is capable of winning this race. It's still early in this race though. Pogicar can have a bad day or two, so we'll see what happens.

    3. I thought it would be Almeida or Yates instead of Ayuso. Remco, Roglic and Rodriguez did a great job. It's not over for JV – he can still win this. Punctured lung? No problem…

    4. Incredible descent from Pogacar, Evenepoel was the smartest among the other riders, descended carefully and did not take any risks and then finished 2nd

    5. Pogacar no sorprende, lo que sorprende es un Vinko regresando de un colapso de pulmon sin entrenamiento ideal para la gira y tener ese nivel 💀 el tour es de Pogacar “el mejor pogacar de todos los tiempos” vs un Vinko en recuperacion de plena forma

    6. Lets PLEASE say congrats to Juan Ayuso !!! What a monster domestique and GC guy in case Pogacar has to drop. Today taking bonuses from other GC guys, pulling Pogacar almost all the way, etc, etc.. VIVA AYUSO !!!

    7. It still is amazing that riders can ride so hard up an 8 to 10% slope, that they need to almost break to make corners. Journalist claim we can not call them modern gladiators or super soldiers, but they themselves use superlatives like galacticos and the magnificent 6. What did we watch this afternoon? Tadej rode this like he was riding a mountain bike downhill track or a Formula One driver. He warmed up his tyres for 120km and then had optimal grip.

    8. I know pog is on a whole different level but he burnt a considerable amount of matches in the 1st week in 2022 (that famous shot of him smiling to the camera) and paid heavily for it in the 3rd week . Really hope that is not the case here! It will be wonderful for the sport for a rider to do the double racing clean! I just cant accept pantani did the double no matter what the record books show.

    9. Remco knows his strengths and uses them optimally. When the road is straight and he is one form nobody can beat him, once it goes down or the course turns into a circus attraction of bends he knows he is at a disadvantage. Next friday will be exciting.
