I got squeezed in the barrier and I lost some skin on on arms and and legs one nonstarter number 45 Mar pison little TR and now I’m here on the way home but I’ll come back for the green jersey the first part of the of this stage SS for Breakaway to go it’s a good opportunity for uh for team EF we have to be careful in the beginning that a strong break does not go without us but then in the end of course F feels good we go another big chance especially uh for kind of me Rider it’s going to be a a bit hard final slightly up shot me quite well [Music] plenty of lumps and bumps on this eighth stage as well as rainy conditions which will make it a tough one for the pure sprinters immediate attack the first attacker of the day is Neilon powless joined by his teammate Stefan bisar who gives him a little smile and Jonas abrahamson the king of the mountains these three Riders attacking a minute the flag dropped remember this first climb is also 72% average with a full Tailwind so the sprinters seems not going to be able to control with you guys move okay you’re stronger than they are with three climbs in the first 40K the terrain was ripe for early attacks and after abrahamson went clear with palus and Biser plenty of others tried to join them at the front notably two more EF riders in bettiol and Healey as expected the fast men like Alexander Kristoff and Mark Cavendish were struggling to keep up Palace and Biga soon realized they weren’t going anywhere and sat up leaving abrahamson solo at the front Jordan jiga from Total energies then countered catching the EF pair and embarking on a solo polka dot Pursuit but he too gave up the chase as the pelan settled down and the sprinters caught up again abrahamson opening up a big lead on 6 minutes 6 minutes and guys also some in for for the wind palon is really strong out but in theory here it should be 20K an hour cross Tailwind so I don’t think the wind is exactly as predicted who that was close oh he’s in the grass abrahamson leading the way over the day’s Fifth and final climb having taken a maximum hle of seven polka dot points with 60k to go the Norwegian still led the pelan by 4 minutes the Sprint team is apparently in no hurry to close the gap 125 between the front Rider Abramson and pack 100 Riders left in the front and pogar is almost alone there in the very front Okay UA are everywhere abrahamson realizes this Paton is closing in on him now Group B after catching abrahamson the pelan continued to hurtle their way towards con baile doig at over 50 km an hour everybody fighting for position with several teams trying to up the tempo to drop some of the purer sprinters on the runin to Charles the gold former Hometown and there’s a great big strong lead out there by dead to Mundial but I think again they might be missing one Rider mat the pool trying to move up there trying to make some space but they’re caught on the right hand side of the world of the road it’s so blocked at the moment 57 km an hour for these Riders as they make their way into the Finish Bennett is there he moves across his last lead out man peels off all of nzen 1,000 M of racing remain on today’s stage the team of inter marhe giving this full gas now as gmai moves around they might leave him on the front a little bit too early guard moves up the team on of Jak alula move up to look for gron of aen there was almost a coming together there from that helicopter shot but everybody is okay derbridge moves across Luca meets moves into position with gron ofen Here Comes Axel singlay with card locked in right on the wheel you don’t want to go too early here Arnold Dee getting ready on his debut here in a tour of France aaman is also there tucked in on the wheel comes yasper Phillipson Marin venberg also Aaron burrow is there ready for the Sprint this is going to be a big big sprint finish Kristoff is also in this concluding Sprint look at Brian cckar he comes through cckar now hits the front and it’s almost a slow motion Sprint as Fred Wright moves on the left hand side biniam gamar yasper Phillipson now they really start to kick for the Finish 44 km an hour it’s a sheer power uphill Sprint for the Finish it’s going to be iium gay two stage wins for the green jersey in the tour yes yes thank you guys thank so much it’s unbelievable to win two times it’s uh I don’t know what can I say it was the perfect finish for for you with that slight uphill kick yeah that’s why one if you see the team they uh put me in the perfect will they give me good lead out today I was really proud to win with the green [Music] jersey gimi becoming the first Rider to win multiple stages of this tour to France the era train adding to his victory in Trin by seeing off philipsson dele and the rest no change in the GC today pater is still 33 seconds clear of aaol before we hit the gravel tomorrow with 67 points today GMI has opened up a big gap in green he’s now 88 clear of philipson abrahamson also
