question what is vek doing here um if the the race leader is just a little bit behind and he’s actually doing a little bit ring himself dropping back to help him would make a significant uh or would help the the the likes of a TBO ice because you got to remember the next couple of stages he going to help suit him as well especially tomorrow I think he could get some bonus seconds so he’s not that far off so let’s see what develops here whether TBO and Ice has said to him look if anything happens to me in the final climb you go for yourself well the big favorite in this group must be Axel laurance right now because uh it kind of flats out after our King of the mo King of the mountains point which is coming up in a few hundred meters and then we have a small descent even uh yeah Marco Brena is sprinting for those points with halter lemon Lauren vek K FR Haan bonu ver galito um Oscar Rodriguez [Music] and now after this king of the mountains we have a small descent and then it kind of flattens out only the final 200 m is at about 7% I tell you what actually wrong see he’s claiming very well I thought this would be a little bit too long for them they’re starting to look around which says to me that these accelerations from Bren award is um is hurting them um L man just did he go did he just actually say there just to to go on the attack now but I think vek is a big danger here he looks super strong and like I said just a moment ago he could be the the new favorite if we look at the general classification tibon of course leads he had eight seconds on Halter 10 on Axel laurance lemon in fourth place vek in fifth place brener is in seventh place he lost a few um a few seconds there in that final of yesterday’s stage vek he well he didn’t take over well he is at the front right now but um he didn’t really do a lot of pacing um his team leader is really not that far behind he should come out that corner imminently as we have done that little descent and now the road starts climbing but nothing like the gradients we just did this is going to be a very tactical game final kilometer stage two of the tour of Norway the two Riders of inos grenadiers also managed to come back with Oscar Rodriguez we have in this group brener V laurance Ethan ha well if Ethan hater is indeed there he should be the absolute top favorite right now to take away the win because we have a slight gradient in the final 300 M and that is of course uh the terrain that we know that Ethan hater absolutely excels Jerry is there he is there Ethan hater is there the former winner Axel laurance another big favorite for the win V quite possibly um as well as atna halter if we look at the two Riders of the inos graders Ethan hater has all of a sudden catapulted himself into um the top favorite spot right now with his teammate pacing 400 m to go the road will start to rise a little bit more as we turn left there we have it this is a finish perfectly for the likes of Ethan hater but the same goes for axel laurance and quite possibly Matias vek final 200 met are coming up car Fredick haen and axel laal opens the Sprint is Ethan hater doing anything about that Axel L going for the win he was on third place yesterday if he takes the bonus seconds he’s also the new leader let’s take us to the Finish Line axelon Axel laurance is the winner for alos in the C ahead of Ethan hater and Bart lemmer vek in fourth and Marco Brena in fifth place that is 10 bonus seconds for Axel laurance and that means that he’s also our new race leader here we have falito atna halter and this is the group with tibo nice yeah we’ll have to get wait and see um what the problem there with there t ice there not too far away but this just Echoes what he did earlier on in the year when he beat Mars Pon climbing very well I thought it would be a little bit too difficult too long but he hung in there and um you know when Ethan hater came up but the the big situation there was when he hit out what 200 met to go Axel Ethan hater was fighting the whole way um to even get near him and you know we’re going to see it again there was no way back for Ethan he was given absolutely everything L man just coming in the third place a good third but you know this man here the one he’s he’s come from strength to strength what a finish he he had at the start of the Year beat mats pson and what another finish he had there so he will lead the race and in this to sort of form you can’t see past them no because the uh the next two stages uh are also kind of tailor mate for the likes of axel laurance there is tibon will probably not get an interview with him he lost um this jersey he also lost the best young Rider Jersey to uh to to Matias vek but there’ll probably be some uh stories in the uh Belgian media because of vfat they traveled to the tour of normet something that they normally would not be doing uh to get the story of B fard and to get the story of tibo was it a mechanical issue or was it just tibo nce going [Music] pop my idea Brian would be the former that it was a mechanical [Music] issue good uh ride as well by man Bart Lemma a rather wonderful story to his career he only started um yeah well into his 20s when he was um at the Royal Military Academy studying to be uh become an officer in the Dutch Army worked as a platoon Commander at the Dutch Air Force Base and then kind of figured out that he was pretty good at riding his bike and made a late late career switch but uh yeah getting the phone call to join visma Lisa bike late last year was not something that he expected but straight away in the tund he showed the potential that he has and yet again a third place for B LMA a rider from uh just north of Amsterdam highlights of stage two uh we did have a bit of a battle for the Breakaway unlike yesterday when the Breakaway went straight from kilometer 0 the voson the waterfalls were there and Philip Rea was the rider picking up the points at the first king of the mountains halfway into the stage 205 km today the longest of the four we had a little tumble with v fard with his teammate meno housing excuse me meno housing but um not too bad a four leaders Sean Flynn Philip Rea Hugo scalla Jr and Anon stenby scallet was uh dropped quite early on and these three leaders they started our finish climb with just 30 seconds on the pelaton which would not be enough Anon stenby the Norwegian Rider of Co-op repel was the last to be caught should up recycling doing a lot of work at the front of the peleton with hannes vich with Ren Bach with Ericson all doing it for this man in white Marco Brena straight onto his wheel is Axel and this is the moment that t nice is also looking at his derailer and yeah there might be a problem there for tibo nice um a mechanical problem we’ll probably hear that story later today but this group is going to uh Sprint it out for the win with uh Axel laurance uh with number 13 and then from the background we still have a little group with two Riders from the inos grenadiers this is the Sprint for the mountain points it’s a first category climb so that means there’s 10 points and those points go to Marco Brena he is going to attack yet again with atna halter Bart Lema lauran vek and that means trouble for K Frederick haen camil bonau ver galito Rodriguez and hater Rodriguez and hater do come back in that final kilometer but hater has already given quite a lot to get back to that first group and this is a finish that is well tailor bait for Ethan hater but quite possibly even better for our under 20 three world champion Axel laurance he wins the stage and he’s also our new race leader just looking back at that Jo say that that I’ve seen it for the kind second time now and I think when he’s looking down he’s actually onto his radio uh talking so I was just wondering what vek was deciding to do and I think the orders came that um he gave vek the the green light to go ahead for himself I think it was more of a legs issue than possibly a mechanical for our overnight race leader yeah well this is our top 10 Axel laurance Ethan hater Bart Lemma Mattias vek Brena halter bonu all in our top 10 yes we Al we already kind of questioned um with confirmation that Axel laurance is is our new leader we kind of questioned whether this almost 6 km long climb would not be a little bit too long for tibo nce he also complained Before the Race that he was suffering from uh respiratory issues
