[Applause] well whatever you’re doing another day another moment to remember this is the day that tacha Bing any sort of very strange incident in the final week is on his way to Casting the final verdict on the tialia with a week remaining he’s on his way to having six or seven minutes of a gap right now and behind they’re going for what they can this is a Rubio and he’s going to be chased by tman ensman ensman who lies in sixth place in the general classification Rubio for Marv star trying to move back up after he dropped out the top 10 in the time trial yesterday and this is Kili he of course wasin the day’s Breakaway 16 seconds now and T gatar is now 3 minutes in front of the main GC group on the road Luke this is quite something isn’t it it really is um you know as soon as he got nairu in the SES there that’s a huge psychological boost you know you know the Gap is coming down you’re hearing that in your ear but to actually see him with your own eyes it’s like a it’s like a real character chase you can see him that perfect view there he’s just going to reel him in now um and like you said it is they had a simple plan and it was just executed very well by a strong team um and they have the best individual in the race you just you know we thought that at the start it was clear to see until this point and now he’s just really stabed his authority on the whole race very impressive today 10 years ago the man in blue was all dressed in [Music] pink he won this race on the other side of this mountain now with 2 km to go in 2024 [Applause] it’s another passing of the Baton and the old generation to a man who is a generational Talent Pacha reaches kintana no time to talk and listen to this this is the soundtrack to His Glory Days the Slovenian flag flies the Italian Tor scream his name and today pachar all dressed in pink rides away to yet another day of Glory absolutely Sensational inside the final 1 and a half kilm and he’s now about to go onto a road until just a couple of days ago didn’t exist to especially for the occasion upper ski slope nothing this for the man who was born not far from some of the bigger ski slopes in Europe tacha again gradient goes up here to n on 20% but after what he’s done what he’s achieved what he’s been capable of doing this is nothing for him he sent the crowd bananas again and Well on his way to finishing yet another exploit this is the sort of thing that the Italian fans love isn’t it well they definitely love this sort of racing and they love this style of riding and uh know pogar oh again he just uh de monster performance this is another one after the time try yesterday let’s not forget he to put in that huge effort uh a lot of the guys in the breakway had an easier day so you know all of that counts as well at this point in the race but doesn’t seem to affect him at all he just recovers amazingly and you can see the way he rode past canana there can did not even try to get in the wheel he was just going at such a fast rate and the gradient where he passed him all of that and we can see here he’s just powering away and you can see the advantage he’s pulling out of you know the guys he have left back there in the GC hunt three minutes and they are you know giving it their all here and this man is just you know pedling away as if he’s out on a Sunday spin inana there getting a push by the way the surface here is sort of more compact gravel for a few hundred meters before when it gets steep again it goes to that new to toac Road this is Steiner turning on to the ski slope at Molino that’s dressed in pink ready for its first ever finish of the Galia and this is a finish that’s going to go down in history look at that man Slovenian Flags fly left and right for a man who flies the flag for his nation in international sport there is nobody who can do anything like what paga can do at the minute here’s Zana the latest victim behind looking to try and find Tiber he’s been in a little bit of trouble Thomas being pulled up the hill now o Conner starting to slip and slide at the end of this group Yan hits running a good race as well Martinez with Thomas and irman here they’re still traveling at 3 minutes from garant from tacha one kilom to go it’ll be one of the slowest kilometers he’ll ride not because he ain’t trying gradient up to almost 20% here and before we see him across the line Luke a word from you on what we are watching it’s an incredible performance that we’re just getting all too used to have the privilege to see um you know time and time again we see this new generation of superstars whether it be pogy whether it be vanap and py or van Aros you know this new generation of absolute weapons and time and time again they do these amazing things going like the going like he is here sticking three minutes into the GC groups and sometimes you just have to stop tip your heart and say shapo because it’s a pretty special performance he’s grabbed the ball by the horns he’s going to put himself in a commanded GC lead here um I just hope he doesn’t take his foot too much off the gas for the next week because this pretty special makes pretty special viewing Beno Conor and a little bit of bother here the podium is looking that little bit further for him both Thomas and Martinez stretch their small gaps Yan here is having a pretty good day though he’s moving up in the general classification 700 M to line for bugat Sean you’ve seen so much down the years so many special exploits so much from just this man in the last few years but today surely it’s one of those days isn’t it well when you look at the situation you further down the mountain when the breakway was a long ways out in front and you would think that he’d wait for quite a bit longer not to uh go for a long way out but he did take it up and the way he just rode away from the other uh contenders in the GC classification and the way he just pulled back the advantage to the guys that were still out in front uh after being in the breakway all day another amazing performance and on the easier part he was just you know pedling away there looking like he wasn’t under any pressure at all now you know it’s a real steep section here you know 19% in place is 20% uh it’s normal that it looks a bit more difficult for him but we can see just a monster road again today the sound of Victory turned up to 10 they scream and cheer one of the most beautiful natural backdrops you could ask for as the top rider in the world’s most beautiful cycling Jersey is going to finish the job with a weak to spare and that’s no exaggeration baring any incident or accident next week T Bacha will win the Jalia he’s blown them away again here already the biggest lead at this point in the race before today he’s on his way to doubling it 13 km from the line he was still in with those he fighting against an extreme acceleration out of that group catching Riders one by one beating the former winner and here he is to claim his prize Tad pachad dressed in pink turning up for the occasion and crowning another day in cycling’s golden age it’s a party at the top of the mountain [Applause] they know they’ve seen something special a beastly stage for a beastly Rider today poacha looks back sees more empty road and he’s riding away with the Jalia an image for the ages a rider for the history books a fourth stage win at this jro for today Pacha and without doubt the most beautiful o has ripped the Italia and on another hand you have to say welcome back naid kintana he gave it a go a real hit out cannot compete with this new generation like that but naido kintana naido man as his fans cheering for him again so Bacha across the line another Podium more plaudits this time Sean with what he’s done here it feels different yes uh just uh I’m stuck for words here you know that performance again today um from this man here he just goes on and uh yeah phenomenal phenomenal performance as he you know does so many times but you know this one this stage when you consider all that it’s just uh one of the big performances of uh T pacha’s career here the way he just blitzed away from everybody um he’s just getting stronger and uh yeah he’s just killed the race off really now because the advantages took out of the rest of the men here still fighting out on the road we were you know a little bit of hope he might have a little bit of a difficult day the first Big Mountain Stage after the time trial uh they might be able to put him under a bit of pressure but not at all we can see those Riders get and Thomas Danny Martinez they’re us all fighting to limit the losses here and the losses are going to be huge already at 2 minutes the start of the day kintana was H to getting the Breakaway he did that he finished second to the man who led by 341 he’s going to end up leading by a lot more there’s b stands to take some time back ruo as well this is oaner who’s had a bit of a recovery and Tam and ensman after doing that work for G Thomas starts to fade a little bit Thomas Martinez again right away from okona and look at this effort from Thomas he’s doing best to limit what he can he’s doing best to keep his second bot on the podium but with 500 met to the line he made that move 150 to go now and Martinez is trying to steal back what he can remember it’s tight between Thomas and Martinez for that second spot here is Bal battling as always Thomas has held on though it looked like he was about to crack there it’s a real gutsy ride from garine Bal across the line at 249 it’s 251 251 put the bonus seconds on there and another 3 minutes for tacha who has almost doubled his lead where were you what were you doing on the day that t poacha turned up 2,000 m above sea level in the high mountains to double his lead at the jle [Music] [Music]
