Yesterday’s first day of climbing saw two Riders Step Up on parin who trago Sensational solo win and Luke PL taking on the mayoon still waiting for the favorites to rise to the top yet stage five not likely to see too much movement in a transition day set up

Nicely for a breakaway if the Specialists try their luck if given free reign someone could yet make it all the way like Jerome Kuan managed six years Ago David godu crashed out of GC contention he could be let loose or focus on launching lorrence py for a Sprint I have to to look for the Breakaway if it’s a small one it’s okay and we uh concentrate about Lawrence if it’s a big one would be good if if one

Of us is in here mad Pon focused on a Sprint and not the past you will see it in TV in a few hours I think more teams is uh is aiming for a Sprint so we don’t have to look back in what happened 6 years ago you

Know we are racing today and have to focus on that Today’s stage connects two beautiful places from Son de Mon and then 193 km to sisteron the longest ride so far and second of the entire week and a chance to see the mountains that will be scaled tomorrow for Category 3 climbs to test out any tiring legs but not enough to

Frighting those who like to ride out in front finishing with a loop around sisteron would it be escapes or a Sprint a further two adventurous Souls made up eight out in front in a sun-kissed stage of loule Bridging the Gap Pascal enor and Victor campart made it a lotto

Destiny Trio alongside teammate mattius pens Pier D of total energies D deont of D cathon ag2 kidus is Alexi gar and mattius noard of mistar in the the reinforcements meant it was no longer a break the Pelon could ignore or attentive as the Gap was formed little track with Tim de clerk

Serving mads Pon as well as Vima Lisa bike for Olaf Coy they helped to hold the time to around a minute from yellow Jersey Contender to domestique David godu supporting the efforts of Lawrence piy hoping to push him back towards the Mayon yet there were casualties at stage two

When our Arvid decline was forced to abandon unable to attempt the final climb of the day up the co D 50 km to go and the lead group with 1 minute 15 seconds on the Pelon at a fast pace with the speeds consistent around 42 km an hour from the Start K lur came into parin after being crowned King of the Mountain at the tour of Rwanda the 30-year-old claiming 15 points on the day now fourth in contention but mainly protecting the polka dot Jersey of teammate mattio buado into the long descent towards ciseron 40 seconds the difference as the

Breakaway shed members duw to camper out gar dropped pasen two after keeping enor in touch and six soon became five as lur had run his race with 23 km left on the stage the diminishing Firepower meant the Gap was down to within 20 seconds they managed to hang on until the intermediate

Sprint dardan leading over norgard and enor but no risk to the GC contenders a rehearsal for the climax after crossing the line with the points of bonuses decided and with that the escap is caught and while a few tried to make a break for it with less than 6 km

To go there was no escape a bunch Sprint set up as the trains lined up on their rails the question became who would win a repeat of Ky pedison or would one of grov and Bennett anod dear or someone else raised their arms of Victory he’s coming from the lead track

Squad as they put Gibbons into position in front of Matts Pon pson ready to launch in front of Pascal aaman aaman up for acing today and he wants the glory it’s matz pson that’s going to launch first Olf Koy is there and available to come as well aan trying to come off the

Wheel of matz Pon as they run to the line who’s going to get this is an improvable Victory Here Comes Koy Koy around the outside is going to pitch it again and he free Wheels across the line in the last few meters to take the victory stunning effort and it’s glory

Once more for the visma Lisa bike rider as he takes a second stage Victory off the week and it’s ol of coy that is the predominant force a second win of this Parry n for OLV Koy no revenge for Mad Pon the Dutch missile this time coming from way back

To Rocket P the Daye and Pascal Akerman Ko’s fourth success of 2024 having one at each event entered so far with 12 wins last season he’s already a third of that total and it’s only March for me uh yeah it’s been a really good week and a

Huge success so uh yeah we have some other goals with with Mato and wico for the weekend so uh yeah we’re not done yet as a team but uh yeah so far really good good week for us Co now with three career parin stage wins to his name

Peton and Akerman on the podium with Sam Bennett and Danny Von Popple well placed Luke PL safely still in the yellow Jersey just the fifth Australian to earn the privilege Santiago brago remains close with UA Duo mcnalty and Almeida just ahead of Remco evapo and Egan Bernal one change is M Pon will

Wear the green jersey on Merit the D replacing piy at the top KY up to third Matthew bugado took a rest as stable mate Pierre latur made sure he remained King in the mountain the points earned though mean total energy now have two options going forward pla unsurprisingly also retained

The white jersey for best young rer with tro and evle in the top three there’s no movement within the top 12 a more demanding day in the saddle tomorrow nearly 200 km from cison to the finish that could make all the difference in the GC a favorable stage

For attacking especially the climb up lul Sulu 1.8 km at 10% in the final 30 km
