good morning good afternoon wherever you in the world and welcome to the cycling Dane today we are of course talking about what’s happening on the road on stage 11 of this year’s Tor France and uh as we’ve done since then uh since the beginning since the start in chess Uno well no the start was Florence I’m getting ahead of myself that was on stage two of course but welcome welcome we’ve got 82.7 kilm left here they had an earlier start so hence why I just bumped up our time there but yeah 82.7 km to go here we are coming into the mey part of the stage they have of course done two cat climbs I’ve Cat four and I cat three but uh they had a breakaway up the road so they swept up those points Julian Bernard’s in this Breakaway there’s 10 Riders remember Julian Bernard we were talking about him in the time TR stage he was the one who got fined for kissing his wife despite being inside the time cut so that was very very odd uh Bruno amarai as well and Paul laia uh the French national champion on the road both of those riding for ag2r well a d cathon and ag2r they’re not a citran anymore hman greguar as well the group fdj Rider they desperately want to try and get something out of this Richard car pass with Ben Healey so you would say maybe two other the biggest cards that y have in their squad in the Breakaway K Manana as well the cus Rider he’s he’s been very incognito mode this year’s tour o losano as well we saw him up towards the front uh in the gravel stage but unfortunately couldn’t quite keep up uh Oscar Onley as well the debutant of the Tour of France 21 years young and of course one that longer stage in the tour down under uh Mato vasher as well we’ve seen him in the Breakaway already in this year toward the France so yeah a lot can still happen but right now the dynamic on the road is that that Breakaway of 10 Riders have a gap of about 2 minutes and 12 so not too much of a gap to the pelaton and that is because uat members are policing this quite vigorously to be honest I wouldn’t think that they were going to do this I thought they were going to allow the Breakaway to disappear up the road but uh yeah uh do I have overlapping Oreo let me just check I’ll check uh h okay I hope it’s okay let me know if you can hear me let me know if the audio is great or not um yeah GM you are having you’re having a weird overlapping of audio problems oh no is it better now is it better now let me know uh maybe we change the microphone but uh yeah let me know if the sound is okay let me know that we’ve still got plenty of time before the real action comes 81.5 km still to go here I’ll try and open up a stream uh myself so I can see what’s going on but uh yeah welcome welcome everyone and uh yeah it’s very much to come before the storm they’ve taken about 12 seconds back here so uh uat mem really trying to police the front here and uh yeah U memor of course than T’s yellow Jersey the advantage isn’t as great as maybe you would okay I think the sound is fine now on the stream I opened it looked fine so uh uh let me know okay good good good good good there’s still two three voices H okay I’ll try and see if I can uh work on that but uh yeah great to have so many people here already of course it is uh it is a tasty looking stage when you look at it we’ve got plenty of ciz climbs thrown in there for uh yeah the Riders to tackle we’ve start with a cat two we then get a cat one cat 2 cat three and then it’s a downhill finish more or less so uh yeah in terms of the breaker R Riders there are a number of teams that I would have thought would have thrown somebody up here but uh yeah Simon Yates was a guy I thought was going to be chucked into this Breakaway but evidently not of course the composition of a breakaway is very yeah the science behind that is who you want to Lear into the Breakaway as well many teams will ride against you so it takes quite a long time before the Breakaway is formed and uh yeah for in terms of the GC this isn’t the D most dangerous looking Breakaway you got Ben Healey in there the best place Rider 7 minutes and 15 seconds probably not the most dangerous in terms of uh doing a hidden GC campaign for a top 10 top five Etc but guia Montana man who has finished inside the top 10 in various grand Tours he is in this break and potentially is a danger man here so uh yeah is he going to be able to do something here we would love to see it uh G Montan um had a few quiet years in terms of gr tours really not really the prolific 10th Place well he was 10th place last year so uh he’s been top 10 twice top 20 twice in uh this year well in the tour to France before he’s of course done the tour on several occasions actually done it on every single year every single Edition since 2017 two top 10 as we said he’s finished 11th before he’s finished 12th and 22nd and 23rd uh did not finish the Tour of France in 20122 but um G mat up here kop is of course one of the teams wanting a stage win they desperately won to won with Brian Kar but it looked like yeah it wasn’t going to happen or it might not happen it might happen later on who knows it might happen later on who knows but great to have 300 people in the chat let us know where you’re watching from and uh I hope by putting the chat in subscriber mode only then we get rid of the spam as well as you guys were a bit annoyed with yesterday so I hope that helps everyone so um yeah g Monon as we said 31 years old is he going to be able to do something here uh he would love to take a stage win that’s really missing from his palarz as we talked about these French Riders they really at stage win is really a huge deal okay K bade four stage wins but um yeah g Matan he’s kind of missing that from his palarz he has won a lot he’s won nine stages and remember that GC Riders very often don’t win uh prolifically other than maybe the likes of yingle Primos RIT and Ty Pat and even rco VPO he wins quite a lot but yeah nine wins to G matan’s name he won the toan that was the last victory he recorded the overall there after taking stage two he’s also won um other races as well one the J did Toscana twice oh actually I think only once oh no that it was a stage race okay okay there we go stage race and then taking stage two so uh yeah he’s won three stage stages and uh yeah just seeing youan Bingle getting interviewed here uh of course him him getting a lot of uh criticism for not working on that gravel stage I think was strange very strange very strange that people are getting upset about this this is a guy who came back with no racing after a horrific crash that we spoke about so I’m not quite sure yeah uh why people are being so critical of the two-time defending Champion I thought it was quite good writing he’s a specialist as well gravel specialist and the owner should be on taga St biani Champion he’s the one in the yellow Jersey he wants to win this title and yeah I thought it was quite strange how yeah that ball just kept rolling that snowball of criticism but uh I thought he did fairly well but maybe I’m biased maybe I’m biased great to have DB Cooper as well only checking in uh time to time at work great to have glad is here as well Richard teart great to have so many uh familiar names in the comments and uh yeah we’re it’s very much the C before a hopeful storm here let’s hope they don’t neutralize each other let’s hope we see some real action on the yeah oh beanie beanie’s out the back B’s out the back as far as I can tell the inter well the green jersey points were neutralized today so no green jersey points well not neutralized but neutralized in the fact that the Breakaway swept it away so the battle between him and yasper philipson um just gets a day off but of course they are going to be doing uh that later on uh tomorrow and indeed we might see those two drling for more positions here so yeah 78.8 km we just saw beanie getting a very sticky bottle here very sticky bottles here by uh his team yeah that that’s quite bad quite sticky bottles there but okay it wasn’t the level of venzo nibbi or Josh charling that level of stickiness but yeah just to try and slingshot him back into the Pelon here the Pelon has a deficit now of 1 minute and 44 seconds we got Tim m no not Tim Mia Tim Mia is not even the race the other Tim Tim wellin and Nils pollet at the front here then we got uh sudal quickstep lining up behind them they’re just looking like they’re squeezing the throttle here a bit trying to get rid of some of the other domestiques here from the other teams trying to get down to the real nugget of the big GC boys here that looks like what is happening right now t bat is sitting quite far down but I mean at this stage it doesn’t really matter 77.9 km but since we’ve come on the stream it’s been almost 30 seconds wiped off the account of the Breakaway here so the Breakaway they’re not doing a well they’re going to wait until it get uh we go on the uphill here but the Breakaway losing time here so that’s the big thing to think about right now is the Breakaway is losing time so are we potentially going to get that GC battle to fight it out for a stage win today that looks quite possible right now and uh we might do a poll with that as well Breakaway versus Breakaway versus uh pelaton we’ve done that on many occasions we’ve got it right on sometimes but um yeah at the front AG G2 they haven’t got a stage win here of course they have Sam Bennett here Felix gal uh quite far down in the DC not really inside the top 10 where they would have wanted him equally gr grp they don’t really have anyone uh with any great success already of this year’s toal France of course David G has been in the break valtin madis held the poka Jersey but that was of course on behalf of yonas abrahamson I mean yonis abrahamson is a man that you would maybe think could have just tried to get in this Breakaway okay he’s not the best climber but maybe through pure persistence and determination he could find himself getting a few points and defending that but uh yeah that with that is under the assumption that this Breakaway is even going to make it to that cat 2 climb which uh right now is looking a bit shaky the top of that cat 2 climb is going to be in 34 km time so are they’re going to be holding on for 34 km uh that that could be our next question but uh yeah uh it’s uh yeah it’s going to be a pretty battle here for hopefully and we’re just getting into the nitty-gritty part of it uh the Breakaway certainly um looking interested in this will the break stay away stay well stay away until until the next cat categorized climb there you go uh spelled very badly but we have a poll there yes or no are they going to stay away for another 34 km or are they going to get caught yeah ignore the spelling of categorize cuz that is very hard when you’re trying to talk to you lovely people and and typing but uh yeah um in your screen is saying that the other teams are looking a bit nervous and Something’s Cooking so make sure you’re ready to take advantage of anyone who gets in trouble here so Ino scen is can sense something in the pelaton and uh potentially there is something happening here uh sudal quickstep uh most of their team is up towards the front here two UAE boys that we talked about Neils Po and him well they’re the ones policing this right now but it is s quickstep who are in that second position here with their whole team so UA emirats are basically splitting the uh the UAE boys here so it should be quite interesting yeah tacha is really far down so tacha finds himself about halfway down this peleton and that’s rather peculiar when you think about most of his teammates are up towards the front four of them in fact up towards the front so yeah um the r at the start here he was asked about the profile today he said it’s going to it was going to be a long battle for the Breakaway right he thinks it it’s definitely going to be a stage win for the Breakaway so he doesn’t anticipate them being anyone uh of the GC boys winning this so uh yeah he says the climbs are a bit longer than the ardens as well so yeah um but yeah interesting that he’s kind of capping the excitement there saying that he doesn’t believe that it’s going to be a stage win for the GC boys but right now UAE team emats maybe they were a bit antagonized by those comments but they’re working at the front here but why would you give your game plan away anyway to the interview at the start of stage let’s be honest uh he wouldn’t do that so uh yeah 75.6 km still to go here 1 minute and 44 seconds that is the gap we have here and uh yeah the Breakaway looking like they need to just up the tempo a bit if they’re going to have any hope of staying away right now because this is looking a bit worrisome if we’re honest they need a whole lot more uh kilometers or second yeah kilometers in terms of distance to the pon if they’re going to stay away Ben Hy G maton Richard caras Julian Bernard Bruno amarai as well they’re up there and we also have um Oscar only greguar laier laier I’ll I’ll learn how to say his name losano as well and Vare uh all up here so plenty of riders from different teams but uh is it going to help them ag2r is the one with two teammates no one else has an extra teammate up here so that could be a bit of concern here for the rotations but they are working fairly well together so right now it’s a chain gang up in front against two UA membrance Riders here so that is what we’re seeing right now and uh yeah who’s going to take the stage one that remains to be seen plenty of options here tadat of course if it comes down to a Sprint between the big favorites uh you would think is in Paul for that but nil pollet and Tim wellins are the men driving this pace right now sodal quickstep doing their best to stick on here marking that move with the former yellow Jersey war of EV Lampard uh moscon here as well but uh yeah so so far so good for sad sad quickstep after winning a stage win and uh yeah uh also having the white jersey actually we’ll do that as a question who will who’s most satisfied in that first week and then we’ll just put some teams down uh inos granders of course not taking a stage win yet uh yeah uh which team will H will be happy uh will be the most happy so far so far uh we’ll put a quick step in there we just put random teams and then you guys can kind of decide um but uh yeah there’s been a lot of success from a number of teams already it’s been very diverse this stage wins and uh yeah I’m just trying to think who else who else could we put in there I’m not going to put it into much cuz that would be skew the pole UAE could we put them in there as well they were kind of expecting this you would guess uh let’s just stick with that little group so uh uh tery poll here t poll here for us all but right nowadays Tim willin a man who’s done very well in the past in different races particularly in the Benelux tour won that I think as benock and uh or the renew tour and as the Eno tour as well that weekl long stage race in the Benelux countries I’m not even sure if it actually goes into Luxembourg most of the time but it certainly does um trans transverse the the borders between the Netherlands and Belgium so yeah it’s the closest thing we have to a Dutch national tour as well because there is no tour of the Netherlands which is peculiar um but there is a Belgian tour so uh in the two of the countries with the hotland of cycling especially Amsterdam with the Netherlands uh arguably the second uh most uh well second capital of the world in terms of cycling of course I’m going to be biased cuz I’m from Copenhagen but yeah Copenhagen Amsterdam of course Juke it out for that position but 72.6 km here 1 minute and 40 seconds 39 seconds lost Caro in here as well Marv star not really getting too much success in this year’s toor of France of course they have had a second place with gavia gavidia being in the mix on some occasions but looks like he’s just missing that lead out man that very powerful lead out man that I was thinking Alex Aron buo was but yeah evidently not Alex and buo as well coming close in that gravel stage as well into but couldn’t just finish it off they looked in a great position for that loyal Los Conor was up there as well they had three riders in the Breakaway on that occasion but just couldn’t TR translate it into a stage win but great to have 400 people in the chat 72.2 km here 1 minute and 37 seconds 1 minute and 36 seconds and yeah they’re starting to build up the lead here a bit uh well ah it’s kind of stagnating around the 137 here they’re not able actually I lied there’s two EF guys in here Ben Healey and katas of course both of them here katas already having worn the yellow Jersey Ben Healey being up there was in good form in the Toro lovenia winning that final stage uh very aggressive riding by the Irishman and of course uh yeah up there in the our end so you would think he potentially could like this here so uh it could be an exciting one great to have William as well watching from France and we’ll see what happens today it should be a really really good stage potentially if they really decide to race a bit more aggressive than we saw yesterday that was paint drying that was football watching levels of uh excitement um yeah uat mermit here pushing on uh Tim willins Neils pollet and then we got all of the sadar Quick Step lining up behind these two UAE Riders Red Bull Bor hansar as well it’s quite strange that the yellow Jersey is not up here I’m quite perplexed by this Red Bull and then behind Red Bull Bor hunc we’ve got Ino scers then this Melissa bike and then yeah a selection of other Riders before a lot further down we see the yellow Jersey here so I’m not sure if they’re just getting yeah why would he get like his own bottle he has riders for this so bit perplexed by this um we’ll wait and see what happens in terms of this stage but yeah strange Behavior going on here so we’ll wait to see what’s going to happen in terms of T Pacha let’s hope he doesn’t get caught out here uh aana you guys are saying is probably the most satisfied team right now after that well until now winning that stage with Mark cdes yeah you could probably say that oh we should have put DSM on there DSM would have been a good one yeah 133% of you going for alen I think that’s a very good depiction of how they’re feeling about this year’s to fronts of course taking that stage win yesterday and uh yeah it could have it could have been a very different picture he could have been on three stage wins or four stage wins already but just wasn’t meant to be Ben heer here we’re seeing him just trying to cool down with the water bottle and uh a hot today it’s very hot in France so uh that might just affect the Riders when they’re going into altitude are we going to see are we potentially going to see kopas reclaim former glories he’s never to my yeah well he has won a stage didn’t he win the kovski him and kovski hogging wasn’t that kopas who won that for inos days big talking point as well Israel Premier Tech of course have a rider inside the top 10 on their 11th stage of the toural France that’s pretty incredible when you think about it Derek G what what is he going to be able to do that remains to be seen I don’t think he’s going to be inside the top 10 I’m sorry all our Canadian friends but it’s a very big ask but uh yeah that third place in the do doesn’t always translate to a good performance in the Tour of France but uh yeah k pass we haven’t talked about him too much uh wearing that yellow Jersey first quoran to do so toour France stage win did it count as his no I can’t see a toour France stage win here so it didn’t count on his record he did of course win a juror stage back in 2018 then the following year he won a stage 4 and Stage 14 one of them being in a iconic well iconic Sprint the other one being a very long uh solo effort uh Landa his teammate kind of being marked and that just gave him free range to disappear up the road and then he went on to win the jro so that was fantastic uh he also of course the following year in 2020 went um to the welte spa where he managed to get on the podium there uh and then in well 2021 toor France third place behind tach Yas vingo really got the first row seat of that rivalry happening on the road in real time and in 2022 not as fruitful in terms of GC results well he did finish second in the GE Talia so yeah of course that was quite good but he was so close to winning and then in the welo went to a different approach his last gr toour with inos and he managed to win three stage wins along with that mountains Jersey and since coming to um EF education easy Post in 2023 it’s been four victories but not the kind of only one World Tour victory that came earlier this year in the tour to Romy winning in the tour Colombia at stage five winning the Ecuador National time trial championships of course that isn’t really on high well five victories including the Ecuadorian Road Race title as well and the American tour classic Alp Mark team that oneway race back in 2023 so it hasn’t been the most fruitful of Teamworks well of collaboration between Jonathan vas and his new signing or newish signing of course he’s not new anymore he’s into his second season with the team and yeah last year crashing on the first stage as well so uh yeah it was a bit of a shame that jent is putting so much in there was also the reports that he was overweight as well that was a bit alarming reports but we got 19.7 km to go here until the next cataliz climb 66 km left of the race 1 minute and 28 seconds and most of you believing that he wasn’t going to be holding it or these this Breakaway was going to stay away so yeah uh 65 kilm it is a long way but there are a number of climbs here four CL four cap four climb so there’s a lot of mountain points up for grabs as well uh u m still at the front here with the two kind of rulers Neils pollet and Tim willins U this is kind of what those two Riders were drafted into the team to do Tim wellin remember last year’s uh tour of Flanders that was one of the most crazy crashes I’ve seen where the ryer just took him out he’s actually also the national TP trial Champion right now for Belgium won the renew tour as we were saying that he’s fairly good in that race uh last year so he’s actually the defending Champion he also won did he win it as the Bing Bank tour no he only won a stage in 20 2019 and then he won it as the Eno tour I believe let’s just yeah Eno tour he won 2 years he won it in 2014 and 2015 so he’s actually won that race on three occasions but of course that means nothing in terms of the Tour of France um yeah uh Belgian of course yeah uh he’s just brought into this job this is exactly it’s similar to the Migel B job in a way Migel be you would think would be a bit later potentially in these kind of stages to be used and yeah he was of course part of that juralia success but yeah Tim willin comes from a very rich a cycling background in terms of his family his brother is a cyclist or used to be a cyclist as well uh not in the professional ranks his father Leo wellin was a professional rider having won a stage in Welter Catalonia as well uh did the tour once and then he had two uncles who also were professional races Paul willins his uncle won the toris swis in 1978 but yeah right now the pace looks like it’s increasing here in the Breakaway it is the ag2r boys here they’re trying to make their numbers count EF education easy post of course also with two Riders but it looks like kater pass is struggling to hang on here him and vasher are just reluctant to close the gap here V can’t close the gap so kater pass has to try and come around him just burn a few matches here to kind of close that Gap and R that was quite a good move there uh forcing cater pass to close the gap and yeah 1 minute and 30 seconds 1 minute 30 seconds 64.2 km we’re getting ever closer to that ciz climb inside 20 km now until we to get to that next ceriz climb the next action and maybe we can see some of these guys uh trying to attack but uh yeah um last winner from an early break in the in well the Tor France was Antony Tores as we spoke about in the gravel stage we’re getting stats coming through by Pro cycling stats as well but the next C climb it’s Cat 2 3.9 km long okay that seems like it’s not too hard or the length isn’t too long for these Riders but it does average 8.7% and there is is a catto for that reason 8.7% that is quite a a little gradient for such a long time and yeah it’s just going to be knocking at them slowly but slowly and um yeah we had kater pass taking uh The ciz Climb as well he’s got two points on his record from today did he also no the first one was taken by o Lano so he took one point Keras took two points on the second cast climb and then Oscar only he took one point so the points uh yeah they have kind of been divided out between them so three three different uh winners of points here but does that give you an indication that Richard kapas is thinking about this of course he was desperately trying to win it in 2020 remember that he sacrificed his time trial time to try and uh be the fastest of La PL to build fee because laan to Bild Fe of course wasn’t just about the climb it also had that flat section but yeah unfortunately for kapas tacha went so fast that he took that he won the stage and he also took the fastest time up llan to B Fe so yeah a shame for katar pass there but Kat pass his best finish in a race is second place in a in a stage in the toour front like we said that was the stage where his teammate mik kovski took the win of course kovski has won since then as well but 62.3 km here 1 minute and 42 seconds so they’ve increased it by 12 seconds here um yeah we’re close we’re on the area of ranade in BR B uh which is 55 km from the uh stage today so homean B might be quite motivated about this but he’s not in the Breakaway he’s another Rider you would have thought hm maybe he could have been up there but maybe he wasn’t allowed to be in the Breakaway maybe they were like nah you’re too dangerous the first yellow Jersey of this year is to of France but certainly not going to be the last one unfortunately Ty Pacha somewhere further down here we can see U memores pushing the pace on still it’s right now the two UA Boys versus the Breakaway 61.5 km still to go here soal quickstep lining up behind with a full team here uh yeah we spoke about that yesterday as well the amount of riders that haven’t left the Tour of France is quite quite good for the race that not too many riders have abandoned Tim de clerk though he didn’t start today’s stage so that was a bit of a shame the tractor in his first toural France with his new team M PS and as well we know that crash is sustained on stage six didn’t start on stage eight so a shame for him UAE and visma Lisa bike both full rosters of course we know team visma Lisa bike uh Missing sep cous but uh that happened before the race uh thankfully for them you would say it would have been a shame if they were one Rider down already but Casper Pon as well no relation to mess uh he left off stage four well after crash on stage three I believe then alerson full team EF full team Lotto full team Israel full team cofidis down two Riders yiri did not finish uh today stage actually and Alex Renard as well so kof is losing two men on today’s stage I wonder if that was a crash that might have been a crash early on uh mik gadoli who we’ve given a lot of air time on these streams too the man who didn’t finish on the first stage in Italy so uh a shame for the Italian there but unox Mobility full team here for them and toal enes as well uh full team with that gravel stage winner of Antony Tois which they’re going to be happy about they’re going to take that all the way to the Finish team DSM Fermin postnl full team as well for them uh they have their number one and number two from stage one and uh yeah we’ll see if they can get more stages here but yeah b day of course finishing ninth in this year’s jro daala as well didn’t have a great start to the jerro uh a lot better uh to say the least uh yeah as tart said as well uh two Riders have dnfed for Cofe today was it a crash I’m not quite sure uh who won the intermediate Sprint good question let’s try and find out inside 60 km um let’s see let’s see abrahamson of course was up there carrying that green jersey but it looks like that’s not really going to ever happen again in this year’s race it looks like it’s going to be a battle between binam gay and yasper philipson yesterday I was hearing reports that it’s over the green jersey is over but that is not what B gay was saying in uh in the press conference on the rest day he said you yeah the margin he had now of course is smaller because of what happened yesterday uh you missed two sprints and suddenly you lose it so yeah Anthony Tois took the Sprint so I think he got himself up in the Breakaway uh Alex Axel zingler he was the man who finished second in that and none of the big guys were there in your terms of yasper Philips in terms of B gay so none of them in the top 15 so no points for those two but Anon Tois putting his name into the ring maybe um probably not but he is the man sitting third right now with 121 points he’s got 146 points to make up if he’s going to get that green jersey from bam gay I don’t think that’s going to happen but the Breakaway they’ve extended their lead now to almost up to where it was originally when we start started the stream 1 minute and 52 seconds here 60 no not 60 59.2 km left here great to have so many channel members as well Tad Sara uh I haven’t seen Ricky today but yeah great to have so many here oh do we have someone from Somerset here Somerset was that in the chat let us know where you’re watching from as well uh let us know who you uh want to win get the conversation going as well everyone’s really friendly as we know in the comments and um we’ve tried to see if uh we can get the conversation more not just spamming so uh we we tried to see if uh yeah you guys were saying you wanted more of a conversation not just a spam in the comments so it looks yeah it looks a lot better now um so 58.8 km 1 minute and 57 seconds here uat memor are the team at the front they’ve got three Riders now but we’re still pondering over that decision for Tad Pacha not to be up towards the front here Tyra Pates finds himself behind sodal cring step behind inos Grandes and when I say that the full team he but he’s so far down the bunch here it’s very unconventional to see the yellow Jersey so far back here he’s behind the VIS Malisa bike riders maybe he’s just doing mind games with Jes vingo maybe that’s it and uh yeah 58.3 km the Riders is getting nutrition throughout the stage and yeah yeah two bags being held by Tim willins here so two bags probably not what you would uh recommend here but uh Asana Kazakhstan here their team most of them going out the back here is that atlet lenko is he that number six if he’s going out the back that’s quite disappointing it is him Alti lenko the former kazak National Champion the pride of Kazakhstan is going out the back so uh yeah not too good that not too good he’s not had a great to France by his own personal aspirations judgment level whatever you want to call it um yeah I was thinking maybe he could have been with someone in the Breakaway I think he’s nowhere in GC former top 10 finisher in the toal France former stage winner as well but yeah just in a bad patch of form as he was in the j tire that’s kind of where it started and deteriorated from there but at the front the Breakaway are still working very well together Oscar Onley he’s looking for a good result here the debutant the 21-year-old and uh yeah can he do something here potentially that would be very good to see uh DSM wanting more wins is it going to be him is it going to be the Scotsman to deliver that for him I can’t remember the last time we had a Scottish Rider win a stage was that gr MB or uh Robert Miller I’m not to too sure here but Richard kapas have we had an Ecuadorian winner stage winner I will look this up he’s of course come second in the past um but yeah tto France stage wins that is yeah I’ll try and find the wikkipedia page there is a great Wikipedia page that shows the last winner from the countries but in terms of alltime winning list of stage wins number one France of course 714 wins Belgium in second place 491 so almost well more than 200 between them Italy and 271 Netherlands 182 Spain W Spain only 131 Germany 90 the UK 78 Luxembourg packing the largest punch of any country here um considering how small they are 71 wins Australia 39 Switzerland 61 Denmark 28 ahead of Colombia uh in 201 2 Norway has 19 America only have 19 as well but I think all of Lance Armstrong’s probably were wiped away uh so that might have been a bit higher if that was allowed to stand Ireland 14 Slovakia 13 or should that be Peter scan 13 uh Russia 11 usbekistan 9 oh okay we know who that is Kazakhstan 6 Poland 7 Austria 6 Estonia four and if you’re wondering why I’m saying the alltime winning stage wins because nothing’s really happening we’ve still got 10 kilm to go to that cat 2 climb Sweden one solitary stage win Lithuania as well one stage win who’s that Lithuania is that Tom vakot vus vacus is that the guy cuz uh uh kav valat he of course won a stage in the jro but that doesn’t count here yeah K with two stages Brazil with one stage but what we’re getting out of this is that there’s no Ecuadorian stage winners so Ecuador could if things go well could be on for a stage win but is that going to happen today it’s uh yeah looking a bit shaky at this moment of course he has got his teammate of Ben Healey there so uh Anything Can Happen great to have starwell as well uh from Hawaii great to have to me people across the pond as well where over 500 people in the chat great to have you here and uh yeah who’s going to win the stage that is the question to be honest and do we think yeah maybe we’ll talk about the stage win who you think it’s going to be but right now in the chat you guys think that aana is more happy or more satisfied than quickstep or alerson at this point uh I don’t know oh or do we think it’s because s all quickstep they uh they were expecting this sort of position maybe maybe Remco sitting a bit higher up in the GC than they were they were anticipating but getting a stage win they were probably thinking that was going to happen in that time trial uh and then getting the white jersey they were probably thinking that as well so yeah maybe the poll is correct but it’s very tight between sadal quickstep and aana um but yeah who do you think is going to win this stage is it going to be from the pelaton uh let let’s just ask do you think kopas uh will caras win today will caras win this stage today he might be thinking um yeah he might be thinking that he takes the pock Jersey gets it throw his name in the ring uh what are we saying as well uh how about South Africa oh did I not mention South Africa I’m apologies of course yes you have got stage wins uh South Africa two stage wins um is that darl imp Dar imp is that the South African was there not I’ll try and get to the bottom of this so the South African uh two stage wins one came in 2019 the other came in 2007 okay so that’s probably not Daryl imp let’s try and figure out who this s oh no not Robbie mcon Robert Hunter so I think it’s darl impon Robert hun to the two South Africans but yeah at the front we still got Tim willins and Neils pollet for the Breakaway or not for the Breakaway for the peleton and mark C I think is joining as well the former to lir winner former stage winner and it looks like tacha heard us cuz he’s moving up towards the front now uh side by side with Primos rage the man he robbed the yellow Jersey off on the penultimate day of the 2020 Tor Fant put so much trauma into him that he hasn’t actually finished this tant since then Sam Bennett out towards the back here I mean that’s not shocking he’s a sprinter are we going to see the former green jersey winner are we going to see him take a stage uh deep into this race remains to be seen but very prolific Sprint as we know had a bit of bad patch in terms of form but certainly is a great great Rider let’s be honest um yeah 1 minute and 54 seconds here still 1 minute 54 seconds and uh it’s hovering around that 2 minutes here so it’s hovering around that 2 minutes who’s going to take the win but they are going they are working well together the Pelon that’s what we can say Ben he’s up towards the front here oos Carell remember oos Carell was very good um yeah very good to be honest what are we saying is Well guys imagine a parallel universe where Pacha just follows wheels from now on do you think that someone would work and make yeah no okay this was the debate that we were talking about um yeah okay 81% of you believe kapas is not winning today stage so that’s quite Savage you guys not holding your punches in that one so I think caras I’m glad he can’t see that poll so 80% of you believe it’s not going to be a stage win from kopas unfortunately so if there are any Ecuadorian uh friends in the chat yeah that’s quite a damning one there but yeah we we haven’t talked about the Breakaway for a while in terms of the composition there are plenty of teams in there two teams with uh two riders in terms of ag2r and EF education easy post Julian Bernard he’s the only little track Rider Bruno Mariah is up there with the French national champion as well on the road Roman greguar is the only fdj Rider then we’ve got caterp pass with Ben Healey two of their strongest cards okay you could say best as well nson pales gu Manan the only cous Rider OAS Caro Oscar only the DSM debutant and winner the war longer stage of course he has to win another stage to get rid of that tag as we always think about but uh Mato v as well the toal ener team of course very happy with their to France this year after that stage win on the gravel stage in TW um yeah who saw that coming definitely not me um yeah Pedro as well saying how do you feel about the chances of J Almeida making the top five come on guys we all know I like a MAA a lot so of course uh our boy can do a top five uh it’s just whether or not he’ll have to sacrifice his chances for that top five uh we we saw on the gbia stage he is uh very very uh happy to to uh throw his tow well throw his GC on the line to get the stage win oh not get the stage win get the toour front stage win this is of course his first ever toour France and in the interview we did on the cycling Dane what we call it podcast uh cycling day extra we of course heard that he said exactly that he wants to see them do this uh take the win as a team he’s very much in the team role here despite standing very high up in the GC when I use as well I think Juan Yuzu was a bit more reluctant to do his turns but uat emats they are just showing their full force at the front here they’ve got six riders in front of tatcha inos granders lining up next to them and sudal quickstep as well uh so UA find well tacha finds himself in in your screen is s quickstep sandwich 51.8 km to go 1 minute and 53 seconds so potentially the Breakaway this Gap is being managed very very well by UAE and the top of the climb is going to be in about 14.4 km 14 no actually less uh 9.6 km have to refresh the page as well uh 9.5 km time 9.5 km time we will see the top of uh the next Cat 2 climb then we will have a count one climb it might be short but it definitely packs Aon the Pu Mari P I’m sure all our French friends in the comments will have heard me butcher the beautiful uh French language but yeah that’s only 5.3 km but it does Pack-a-Punch at 7.9% so yeah then we’ve got another cat 2 well that was a cat one climb then we got a cat T cat 2 climb then we’ve got a cat 3 climb and then we’ got the finishing line so a lot of action packed into these uh final 51 1 km here so 5 km to go now well was this from the yeah this was to the start of the climb so there’s 5 km until the start of the climb here for the Breakaway but they have somewhat been climbing uncategorized of course not all elevations are categorized meaning that there are M Points up for grabs here but uh I would think that katas might be thinking of a Poca Jersey uh what shall we call Journey uh if they can do that we haven’t had a Ecuadorian win that Jersey as we said he tried in 2020 but it didn’t quite happen we’ve had plenty of Colombians win that of course Nao kintana um Luis Herrera as well and uh yeah the Poo Jersey so many things can happen uh in the race but barin Victor is here uh they’re coming through here they’re saying many people will cook today because it’s super hard and I’m sure uh you can do it we don’t give up easily we want to fight like the others or something like that so uh yeah we’ll wait and see what happens here everything’s on the line for these Riders and it could be a great one to say the least uh this race the green jersey bam gay is out the back 2 minutes and 34 seconds behind the Breakaway but his day is kind of an e just transition day for him to say the least but right now anything can happen on the stage we waiting to see if uh kopas will be our man to take that Jersey all the way to ni not sure he will be but maybe he’s just throwing his ring or his hat into the ring here it would be great to see to say the least and uh yeah 1 minute and 53 seconds 2 minutes and 41 to cater pass the peleton just come to that 5 kmers to go here for the Riders and yeah you would love to see someone uh trying to challenge Ty Pacha of course that is easier said than done the man uh the best rider in the bunch uh on many terrains you can hardly throw him on any terrain and he can’t do any uh he he’ll be un well out of his element we’ve seen him on gravel he wins we’ve seen him on Cobblestone he wins uh hilly time trial La he wins that stage five of 2021 he wins that m he wins that so where is the weakness many people going for that high altitude that is the weakness but his biggest rival yonis vingle doesn’t have uh 100% form he doesn’t have SE cus so yeah right now that Jalia tour uh achievement looks very likely here very very likely so we’ll wait and see here we’ll wait and see uh Victor as well here joining from I guess Lithuania I need Healey to beat cater pass for my bets that’s pretty funny but sud quickstep here they’re trying to take charge now now as well Red Bull borans they’re just upping the pace as well Primos rogl many of you not throwing your faith behind him as well thinking that maybe yeah it’s over for for the experienced man uh yeah it’s uh it’s crazy this 1 minute and 53 56 seconds even so three more seconds uh giving that back but the pace right now sadal quickstep and Red Bull Bor hun just sharing the pace duties with u mem little track in the middle of course they have to try and think about uh rejigging their Tor France now because of mes pills not being in the race anymore unfortunately for them Israel prch out the back here with two Riders 132 and 138 um H that’s Pascal araman one of them and the other one’s Jake Stewart so Pascal akan and Jake Stewart at the back Pascal Aran of course wants to take a stage win is that going to happen uh not today for sure but Red Bull Bor handcore showing that Red Bull gives you wings and are we going to see Primos RIT uh take the stage win today h that could be a interesting one I don’t think he’s going to be winning the tour this year uh but but yeah right now we’re seeing abrahamson up towards the front as well we’re seeing sodal quickstep really putting some hood on as well sodal quickstep being a great team here to be honest Jak aula r at the back here and plenty of bottles going out uh to fans as well because the nature of the race right now uh yeah okay tart saying that Primos is watching the other three Juke it out and then he’ll pounce maybe maybe who knows 1 minute and 44 seconds so they’ve taken about a 10c chunk out of that lead but yonas abrahamson coming up towards the front here the poka Jersey weara uh leading at the front right now um H okay we’re seeing Tim Williams of course he’s done his job for today he just goes out the back number 87 as well for Red Bull borans score of course the team’s a bit weakened here the team’s a bit weakened because they are not with vazov anymore so they lost vazov that was a very big loss for the team of course crashing on Stage Nine and still finished the stage but didn’t start on stage 10 so after the rest day we also have uh well that was DV Popple going out the back here but right now it’s a drag race between the mountains trains of Uno X Mobility Red Bull Bor hansra a2r de cathon of course they’re thinking about Felix G s quickstep and U memor V Melissa B and inos Grande is keeping off the front here or away from the front inos Grandes they want to join the party as well they love being at the front so they’re going to go for it here yanus vingo I think he’s on the wheel of TI of GAA here Remco Veno riding third wheel but yonas abrahamson what is he doing who are they thinking about he had someone on his wheel but uh m c nilson is that who they think could survive the mountains here or the climbs but Ryder is out the back here as well R Costa is out the back uh MOS nelon that we were just mentioning he’s out the back here uh Kevin VLAN I think that might be the ARA Rider who’s out the back yes it is Kevin VLAN he’s out the back number 83 out the back as well so there’s plenty of riders just gone out the back Mark H one of the Riders there but uh yeah uh inos granders they’re taking over the pace duties at the front for whatever reason despite not having the yellow Jersey and not really a credible threat to um the yellow Jersey in Carlos Rodriguez of course he’s very good he’s a very solid Rider but that yellow Jersey right now seems a bit too far out for him Remco Veno he’s looking very excited but earlier I heard Robbie mccuan saying that he’s getting some call SS and then well Robbie mccuan are very very experienced man when it comes to the torant so I do take his word for gospel I’m I’m pretty sure many others do as well but he was saying that a CO Source on Rus normally shows that the immune system is weakened so that could be a bit of an alarm alarm as well for the peleton oh not the Pelon for the Breakaway it’s 1 minute and 7 Seconds Now 1 minute and 7 Seconds that is the gap Now 1 minute and 7 Seconds this is alarming stuff for the Breakaway now this is not good here 46.2 2 km that is all that’s remaining of today’s stage we’re getting even closer to that climb and they have a bit of a downhill section at this point so uh yeah the ciz climb Starts Now 3.8 km 99.1% and the K is currently held by tacha so uh maybe he’s going to improve his own result here we’ll uh wait and see here but great to have so many familiar names in the comments as well channel members as well and uh a lot lot of things can happen here uh in the stage abrahamson goes at the back so the Poo Jersey wear he’s not going to be in contention crash crash crash for this Melissa bike here what was that uhuh the front I think that was wal vard wal vard coming down in a crash here W vard just crashed yeah that could have taken T of gacha out and I mean they were going pretty hard here so uh will that just have um yeah will that just have uh made them a bit nervous here but W vard crashing I’ll try and get you a screenshot of that but W vard crashing there so uh that’s not what you want to see uh if you’re a v m Lisa bike fan chains come off he’s going to wait for the team car number eight certainly hasn’t been a lucky number for him he’s already crashed on this year’s total France as well but what not has crashed and uh yeah he was coming in he was leading them in here and oh okay there was a what would you call it there was a there Stone on the side of the road he just yeah clipped that and uh yeah caught him out there but at the front the Breakaway they’re moving oiless Caro and is that Richard Kat pass or is it Ben Healey we’ve got an EF man trying to follow the Mista man um and V goes out the back so that bit of suffering that he was showing it wasn’t pretend it was for real 47 seconds between them now but oano he is up the tempo here he wants to get up the road and I think is this it looks like Ben Healey it looks like Ben hey’s writing style so I think Ben Healey might be the man on or lano’s wheel so or losano with Ben Healy on his wheel here the Riders the Breakaway completely splintered on the lowest slopes here we still have 2.9 km to go but the M Star man it is EF education easy post Ben Healey here so it’s Ben Healey with oos Caro the M man with the um adopted Irishman um yeah o losano here desperately wants to get something out of the Tor of France for uh for maista is it going to be today who knows but I promise you a screenshot of uh the W vanard incident so we’ll try and get you that here as well um yeah that was quite quite Savage there uh the hit as well so uh yeah W vanart uh we hope he’s still in the race let’s be honest uh W vanart such a great Rider but Ben Healey getting dropped here Ben Healey getting dropped by oos Caro so that’s a bit of a worry to be honest oil car well for Ben Hil and EF uh maybe well having two Riders up here look like they could be up there in the break maybe the break wouldn’t um take a stage win but maybe they could have been up there but uh if while I just rej all our visuals uh yeah it’s 44.7 km I think we’ve just had David goodoo drop out the back here so David goodu looks like he’s finished for today unfortunately the former fourth place finisher former total laan winner Warren bill as well former poo Jersey winner such a nice guy friend of the channel and uh yeah but that doesn’t help him on today’s stage unfortunately uh serious crash there by W vard he’s back on his bike he is a tough guy of course and a multiple World Cy cross champion and multiple stage win over the Toral fron but stage win is not going to be today but yeah what we not that was quite a crash and yeah bit of a shame there but yeah uat memores they’re at the front here they’ve got one minute now that’s the Gap to the Breakaway of well not the Breakaway anymore to ooso ooso is the sole man out in front he wants to desperately take the stage win like we said for Mista he’s going to be sweeping up points here in the Poo Jersey as well and 73% of you believe it’s not going to be a um a Kass day so are you guys going to think it’s going to be a o losano day uh will Los Lano uh win the stage yes or no but uh Roman bad out the back here maybe he’s thinking about stage 14 Stage 15 Garen Thomas as well these two Riders such such good uh palmaris is between the two of them but yeah right now it doesn’t look like these guys are going to be doing anything in terms of today’s stage anyway but anything can happen here v v is getting swept up by the break shortly so uh his day is going to be over so toal NIS uh aspirations of a stage win is not going to be happening today yoris Bing got looking to do something here potentially today or we just going to see the day neutralized for these big guys we will wait and see but ooso finds himself out in front here Ben Healey coming back to try and bring kater pass up here into the mix so cater pass and Ben Healey apparent Curr ly 5 Seconds it looks like a bit more if you ask me but these two EF education easy post Riders trying to save their Breakaway day here the next Rider to be picked out by the or picked off by the peleton by the uat mem LED team is the former Mal rosaa former uh French national time Tri Champion Bruno amarai and we’re also going to get Roman greguar getting caught by the pelan here but 1 minute and 2 seconds o losano has over a leave right now and there’s 1.5 km left of this climb 43.8 km still left and great to have almost 1,000 people in the chat and if you’re new here why not hit the like button and subscribe to the channel let’s try and get to 300 likes of course we demolished our record uh on the streams um we’ve done that pretty much every single day um this year but Pavo COV here coming to the front remember him former under 23 during the winner former Russian Rider uh former Ninth Place finisher in the Tour of France a rider who’s won the Tour of the Alps a rider who’s been ninth in the J Tire before as well left inos Grand how they let him go I have no idea and then uat merid took him but is this Jack heg uh yeah Jack heg unfortunately a former Podium finisher at uh the wel espania not having a great Tour of France here so the Australian unfortunately he’s not going to be up here but we’re seeing the effort being put on here at the front Pavo COV really just drilling the pace here Adam Yates up here as well the team the strength of UAE is just mouthwatering in a cycling R back it’s a pro cycling manager team uh Roman B um yeah Roman bade is out the back but Roman greguar the man who shares the same first name as well he goes out the back here and yeah Pavo COV uh doing a great turn here cater pass is being left behind by Ben Healey here so cater pass is certainly not going to be winning today’s stage 82% of you believe it’s not going to be a losano stage win as well so uh Ben Healey there just trying to bridge the gap up to O losano who has one kilometer left here to the top of the climb here so we will wait and see we will wait and see here what is going to happen in today stage oano such a great Rider he’s really uh brought himself to the Forefront of many cycling fans in the last two seasons but what is he going to be able to do here but yeah he’s leaving the two EF education easy posts in his rearview mirror but yeah still only 43 km to go here uat mer with three riders in front of tid of gacha then V Malisa bike lining up behind him uh or yeah and then we’ve got Remco venon soqu not as high up as they were before uh Richard is saying as well will AO leave soon um leave as in team I mean inos granders would love to get AO I think any other team that missed a bahin I mean AO you could throw almost in any team they would love to have this guy such a talent youngster yeah you could really make him the right of your team um but yeah Pavo COV he’s pushing the pressure on here he’s just talking in the the radio here does that mean that his turn is going to be over Almeida is the guy behind him and then we got Adam yat so where is juuzo here where is juuzo juuzo anyone seen him gatan we were talking about him earlier he’s about to be brought back here the man who’s finished inside the top 10 on two occasions in the total France been up there in the top 15 plenty of times as well but right now it’s OAS kindor who’s been joined by Ben Healey so the Irishman with o losano benil of course has tasted success in a grand tour from a stage well from a breakaway situation and that was in the Jalia last year what a win that was really put him on the mat even more but Ben Healey doing a great job here oess Carno these two very good climbers oiless Carno looked very good in the doof but U memor here Pavo COV looking around here are they saying it’s too early for him to dip out um yeah this is looking fascinating what are UA team members going to do here what are they thinking about of course they’ got the yellow Jersey within their ranks so they want to try and defend that but yeah we’re inside the last 240 M here Ben hey oros Caro are they thinking about a polka do Jersey run here or do they even care or they just thinking about a potential stage win 1 minute and 13 seconds here 1 minute and 13 seconds uh what are we seeing as well the bonus points at stake yeah where is do we have any bonus seconds of course we got them kind of scattered throughout uh well not really scatter throughout but normally the bonus seconds are available in the last third and on the finishing line so uh as you know if you’re a longtime listener you will know that I’m very much against these bonus seconds uh but yeah Ben hey there just taking the man Jersey top points there and we’ll see if he can mount an assault on that classification of course his teammate of this year’s toal France uh Nils pales he tried to do that one year but wasn’t successful kater pass tried as well wasn’t successful but kater pass in a world of hurt here 25 seconds uh behind his teammate and L carau so that is worrying for the yellow Jersey wearer um yeah so Ben Hy takes the Five Points at the top here losano takes three points so he adds that to his his account and this is the problem what we were talking about when there’s no real Rider who goes day after day like we saw abrahamson in the first week the points just get diluted between a number of riders and then all the GC Riders pick up the big points available on the mountain stages and that’s why we’ seen yis being go and tyacha win this jersey um yeah quite a lot between them actually three times uh but last year we had chor he did a very good assault on that Jersey wasn’t in the top 10 but managed to get a good result there uh by taking that Jersey first time first time we had an Italian for a very long time but the poker Jersey point is seeing now U mermit they’re just crossing the line now so I wonder if there was any points available for pav COV there uh T gacha up there towards the front one of the VIS Malisa bike riders just dropping back there wonder who that was is someone getting some bottles for the team 1 minute and 22 seconds Now 1 minute and 22 seconds now for the Breakaway riders for the two the duo out in front cat pass 20 seconds behind Roman B we seen pictures of him of course he’s fairly local to this area but he’s got nothing in the tank here maybe he’s thinking of stage 14 Stage 15 uh potential Breakaway stage win for him but yeah it’s not going to be a ran b day unfortunately but yeah or G and Thomas these two both in the juralia and uh just haven’t got any energy here uh to be up there but Mato soero here he’s uh towards the back as well 40.7 km that is all that remains in the stage but there are of course a number of ceriz climbs left we still have that cat one climb as well we talked about earlier that could be a very decisive moment as well well is it too far out for anyone to attack potentially but it is a very exciting climb uh coming up the next climb as we said 7.9 km SE no 5.3 km averaging 7.9% so it’s not as hard as the one that they’ve just crested but it is longer it’s 5.3 km and the last two kilometers kick up no actually not two kmers last 1 three kilometers kick up to uh all the way up to 13.4% so the first three kilometers are fairly pedestrian at 5.5% is 5% is either way and then it really kicks up there in the last 1.3 km and that’s really why this climb has been categorized as a cap one climb but 13 uh 39.8 km still to go here for the stage who’s going to the stage today anyone’s guess Breakaway or or mean guys uh thank you as well Steve Ross for subscribing anyone who hasn’t subscribed already make sure to subscribe um yeah it’s a very very interesting stage in terms of what the Breakaway is going to do are they going to hold it out Ben Healey and ooso loano when you think of him I didn’t he well let’s check has he ever been at the Tour of France to my recollection no and yes I was correct he hasn’t been at the at it so uh yeah losano this is only his fourth Grand Tour he was of course in the Breakaway twice already this year um in the tour on stage In Tua he was for 62 km in the valis stage as well the gbia stage he was there for 86 km but no real top positions for him in his debut uh toour to France so maristar kind of still licking their wounds over enri Mass not being in GC form not contesting for big results there but yeah that’s how it goes really sometimes you’re the hammer sometimes you’re the nail and mistar really have found themselves as the nail of this year’s uh tour unfortunately but we’ll wait and see if they can get some something out of this they desperately want something we haven’t had a stage win from them since 2019 but right now he’s on the wheel of Ben Healey Ben hey doing a great job here but cater pass’s quite worrying 20 seconds of drift here and the paycheck that uh he’s on compared to his teammates is seismic according to Jonathan VOR so yeah imagine your teammate earning three times as much as you or four times and then he’s getting dropped on a regular basis by you how would you feel but of course it’s also the reputation and everything alongside that and maybe he’s gotten more sponsors in the to the team you never know uh but yeah uat memat pushing on here what can they do here they want to take another win here R of course getting a lot of TV time because he is of course uh the local boy but uh he is not going to be taking the stage win today so it’s a shame a big big shame to say the least Almeida is looking very strong here could he potentially do something are we going to see UAE maybe do a bit more of an interesting race tactic just throw juo yuzo up the road and see what the other Riders are going to do and then Mark uh the wing go Mark Remco Veno with ti of gatchet that would be an exciting tactic uh to see but are we going to see that I think that is a very very hopeful race scenario um but yeah we’ll wait and see if if anything will happen like that in this stage but kater pass doing a formidable job to get dropped by his teammate trying to pick up the pieces here he’s certainly a very strong Rider Ben Healey and uh yeah it would be great to see him contesting for a stage win uh here today but yeah Lano and Healey is this I think this might be Healey’s first ever Tor of France as well so we could have be in the scenario right now that we have two debutants at the front end of the race uh 23 years young yeah it’s his first ever Grand uh well Jalia uh toal France his first de Jalia came last year and there he managed to take a stage win but we’re heading towards that cator CL that we talked about 5.4 km long 8.1% and the man who has the k for this one in the fastest time T Pacha so we’re getting a picture here but 36.2 km 13 seconds so cater pass is reducing that Gap to the front door but of course that’s coming at some cost and the pelaton found themselves about a minute down here 5.1 km so they are on that cat one climb here remember the first well the first 4ish kilometers are fairly pedestrian oh no no first three kilm and then it really kicks up in that last 2.3 km but that last 1.3 km is the 13.4% um average so we’re going to be looking towards that for sure and uh hopefully someone really produces some action here you would love to see a bit of a kick from some of the GC boys here but it is well it’s only 35.8 km out so it’s not like we’re that far out right now so uh anything can happen in today’s stage we are really looking at the business end now of the stage and I think overwhelmingly you guys think it’s not going to be a stage win for oano so uh commiserations there uh for him uh will Pacha win the stage will Pacha win the stage today uh will he add a second stage to his his 2024 to France of course he has a prolific average of stage wins at a tour of course he took six stage wins at the j tire but right now U Emirates really starting to up the tempo huzu that we were calling out for where he is he’s right now second wheel now so he’s second wheel yoris vingo trying to get on the wheel of tyacha as well Remco Veno I think is occupying that space right now uh so rco Veno and yoris vingo they’re just trying to jle it out here to get the wheel of tacha rco bit annoyed there that vingo just pushed himself in uh on that wheel the yellow Jersey the wheel that everyone’s well demand that everyone’s looking towards to make a big move here a big push kater pass is up with his two well with his teammate and also with o losano they’ve got 42 seconds here 4.3 km to go here I think katas knows he’s not on a good day he comes to the front here and that’s quite a good uh you good effort by him and uh to just up the tempo here but right now he’s against the uat memores boys here and that’s going to be uh a tall order here if he’s not feeling great I don’t think he’s going to be out climbing the likes of pav COV fuzo Adam Yates that looks like it’s not going to happen but gatana at the back here he was in the break a bit early on bit of a shame if he was thinking about GC which I don’t think he is 22 or 22nd uh this isn’t good oh uh little track I thought it was chor there for a second it’s not it’s Julian Bernard the French Rider he’s at the back for a little Trek uh little Trek how many riders have they got around chor here I think uh chor he’s kind of an unknown package here we talked about him the Italians this is kind of their only real GC man right now of course they’ve had kuso up there in big positions in the j tire but chor is kind of carrying the the burden of Vincenzo nibbi right now and tiberi as well no let’s not forget tiberi he’s kind of the next nibbi that they’re saying Carlos Rodriguez up here as well Juan yuzo the Spanish are really here Migel migga Lander as well uh We’ve also got a moar Rider so that might be enrick Mass landz great what a signing he was by sudal quicker but of course here on the secondy D we’ve always been a fan of Lander it’s a shame that we didn’t have him win a jir Talia um yeah as we know he’s not really a fan of the welto espia he does very well at the jro but he finds himself at the toal France where he’s been fourth before friend of the channel as well Lou M towards the back here as well that solid climber uh who’s well South African as well and yeah Pavo COV just trying to put the her on here 3.3 km for the Breakaway still to go of this climb P silov has reduced the Gap now down to 32 seconds here 32 seconds by’s out the back abrahamson’s already 8 minutes down here but right now on the road it is uh Civ then juuzo then almea then aramat then T Ben who’s climbing very well tacha riding alongside that Belgian and then we got vingo on the wheel of uh yeah tyacha so vingo he’ll be ready to pounce if tatcha does become the aggressor are they going to ride defensively here but it looks like the day well the minutes are numbered here for the front end for the Breakaway guys here 300 well not 300 33.9 km still to go here 2.9 km remember it’s going to kick up with 2.3 km to go and that’s where we really need to see Ben Healey to hit out I think if he’s going to get rid of oos Caro um yeah quite Savage profile by by looking at the profile but the yeah the pelons uh in the rear viw mirror if they look behind they could see the Pelon coming down up the road there’s 10 points available here on this C at one climb so that would be a hefty uh Point hall for any of these Riders Ben Healey would desperately want to get that that would mean he would have picked up 15 points from the last two climbs but yeah right now COV is still at the front here Juan USU getting ready for his turn here uh yeah almea adames these guys this front quartet in front of TI ofat is absolutely mouthwatering for any cycling fan any cycling uh nerd and any fan of the sport and anyone who was going to assemble their own team it wouldn’t be far off that to be honest on a climb but 26 seconds now it’s come down so it’s come down five more seconds oh it’s getting close now it’s getting very close the gap between the Breakaway and uh the front group here T ber uh looming there as well yeah is Vis M Lisa bike exposed a bit here has uh bingo only got ber cuz where are the other climbers where’s Matel jensson he’s probably his best man right now we saw while not crashing early in the stage um but yeah Vis Malisa bike looked like they might just have one more ah I think they have one or two other Riders alongside T sput to um flank yor fingle but yeah pav COV turn finishes so now it’s juano yuzo juuzo guys get your pop corn this is where it’s going to get absolutely electric we’re going to see the Ferrari of the climbing teams here rip it up now and uh it’s going to be deadly now in terms of the speeds the power this is where we would want to see the power data but the organizers don’t like to hand that out because uh ooh suspicious uh 2 kilm to go here uh we’ve got oiless Caro uping the tempo Ben Healey looking like he’s struggling a bit here 12% now the gradient for them 19 seconds so the pelaton they’re going to see kapas shortly here ooh 17 18 seconds here Oilers caror will know that they’re coming up behind so they need to up the tempo if they even going to get that 10 points at the top katas just sees the bunch here and it’s Adam Yates Adam Yates so what happened to uh juuzo oh 77 out the back that’s mikanda no no no false alarm that’s one uh one well one realer the Remo looking like kapas at the back Adam yat we’re so used to this site him in front of tacha this time it’s in the yellow Jersey and he’s just upping the tempo he’s ripping this pelaton to Pieces Adam Yates if there was a rider that you were going to sign uh with alongside your GC favorite it would be him absolutely incredible here this is going to be an incredible just whittling down of the Riders here that the cream then CRM de CRM is going to come to the top here and yeah this this uh group has absolutely been dismantled now carved out ji hindley struggling here Ben well T buut out the back Lou mke’s out the back and inos grand rer out the back juuzo is struggling as well andri mass is struggling he’s trying to hang on here almea is looking fairly good as well but Adam Yates is absolutely putting on a thunderous Pace here that is hurting the best climbers in the world oos Caro and um yeah Ben Healey they are in in sight here so it’s looking quite damning here for a potential stage Victory from these guys but J hinley the 2022 jro Talia Champion the yellow Jersey weara last year stage winner as well in stage five but it’s not going to be today oh Ben T benut out the back Lou M struggling to hang on with everything he’s got here this is incredible this pace is just ripping apart former Riders Juan yuzo out the back Juan Yo’s dream of getting a top five a top 10 is starting to struggle here enri mass as well in that struggling Bunch there oh this is getting crazy now uh who have they got left we have to see who’s left here in this Bunch Ben Healey he’s worried now he’s seeing them in the rear viiew mirror here uh he’s going to be brought back here he was thinking about that 10 points but that looks like it’s going to disappear unfortunately that’s going to be going to the yellow Jersey group and this is what I said exactly um yeah these guys who desperately try and win the polka do Jersey from the Breakaway if they don’t do it tactically then suddenly the it rolls over in favor of yeah the guys who are the best Columbians in the world but right now we’re seeing yeah uh enri mass is dropped Juan yuzo is dropped Adam Yates is pulling in Ben Healey here so Ben Healey is being pulled in by Adam Yates so the two men who were both born in England they P being well commiserations here there’ll be no Christmas cards from Ben hey to Adam Yates here by this notion uh who else have we got in this group I think that’s Wilco kelderman I think we’ve got Wilco kelderman mik Lander starting to slip as well here Jon is hitting very well Carlos Rodriguez and they’re wearing thing is all these guys are getting destroyed here by the pace and losing helpers losing domestiques but tacha still has almea here as well as Adam Yates who is pushing the pace on and right now Ben hey has been caught he has been passed he’s no longer the leading the stage and he’s just being passed by the yellow Jersey Group by vingo by Almeida and The Inferno that being put on here by uat Merit is absolutely incredible here tyacha in firm control here riding second wheel now in the race yones vingo on his wheel as well Primos rage we haven’t mentioned him in a while he’s up here rco ju well J just going back uh backwards a bit here is that worrying for them but right now everything can happen now are we going to see a vicious attack from someone who’s going to instigate the action here but 31.8 km of this cat one climb it really did the damage it really did the damage that we were hoping here this is incredible who’s going to who’s going to Blink first out of these Juicy Boys this is absolutely remarkable great to have over a thousand people in the chat let us know where you’re watching from as well great to have so many people joining us on the action here but Adam Yates is it 2023 total France no it’s not Mato Jorgenson out the back his brother Simon Yates out the back Derek G’s out the back Jal Al MAA struggling as well towards the back so Willl who kill them in here J Al MAA he just loses touch with the bunch here as well J MAA just losing touch here Adam Yates pushing on here Adam Yates this effort this is why he was third place last year the best signing that uh U members have done for a very long time tacha T Bacha attacks here nobody’s able to respond nobody responding immediately T Bacha riding away T Bacha RIT and vingle the former teammates they’re looking to close in their arch rival here primot rogl Jas vingo United as yov visma Riders but now they’re two leaders from respective teams and tyacha distancing his Rivals here once again we are so accustomed to seeing this in the jir and here on the hardest slopes of the stage we are seeing tacha saying bye-bye bye-bye to everyone and uh yeah tacha wants to be the first man to win the jro Tour double since Marco pantani very long time ago and he’s bidding to do that again rogich and mingle scrambling to get on into his wheel but he’s already built up a huge distance Remco out the back as well but tyacha putting in a huge effort here rogl and mle riding side by side can they close the gap here they’re looking to try and bring back the Slovenian the Slovenian riding in that yellow he’s just pumping out the Watts here RIT has been dropped here so now it’s wingle versus pagat there’s about 30 m 28 M Bingo just has to ride quite measured here is he going to be able to get back here the motorbike getting in the way here Bingo just trying to get any sort of draft he can but right now paga looks like he’s going to be the man who picks up those 10 points at the top here so anything can happen here vingal tagachi V trying to close the gap here he knows pagat is a prolific descender so he really needs to go for it here is he going to be able to go for it to get down that road quick enough to catch T but REM Intero is certainly one Rider who has just been destroyed there that is not a great look for the Belgian he is really been put to the sword here still up there he’s still Fourth Man on the road but he has been dropped out the back so those questions that Robbie McAn put earlier today on the stage maybe might be correct but uh yeah Remco Veno in trouble here Remco Veno in trouble but the four biggest names have come to the top of this stage stage 11 oh this is exciting now we’ve got The Descent now tyacha has about 170 m Gap here roughly over T yones 11 second Gap we’re getting 11 second Gap here yores needs to hang tight here he needs to make sure that he’s going to stay just close enough to tacha but he’s riding a measured effort here but tatcha this is exciting is he going to be able to do something is he going to be able to hurt his Rivals even more here extending his lead on Remco Veno right now in the virtual standings the man who was sitting second and maybe we can get TB gatcha or even yoris vingard climb into second spot here yores and T have shared this Arena since 2021 at this the biggest stage of world cycling oh are we going to see a stage Victory here from TI Pacha once again it looks like it might be 29 kilm still to go here of the stage and we’re getting our radio message through here that was a vicious attack TI gatcha No One react what what do they say no one react uhuh okay so maybe yeah who knows but uh yeah uh 13 14 seconds now of a gap here 134 uh seconds uh there so uh it’s starting to extend there so uh yeah yoris vingle we saw him so good in all ground kamino and Tano adriatico and The Descent rogl trying to close the gap to vingo here it would be quite good if those two link up because they could potentially just mount a collective effort here maybe but yeah tyacha is certainly extending his lead here on the road the stage win looks up for grabs for him he’s looking very vicious on the bike on this descent 29 well 28.5 km to go and we’ve got a bit of time now so why not head over to the cycl D action Channel And subscribe to the channel let’s try and get that to a th000 we’re missing 150 of you so if you haven’t already make sure to do that get involved in the competition as well when we get to 1,000 subscribers we are of course going to raffle out that prize but 15 seconds 16 seconds it’s starting to tick up here the lead of tyacha this is almost copypaste of what we saw earlier on the gbia stage here this is getting interesting Ty batcha is hitting out he’s getting into the best arrow position that he’s permitted by the UCI behind him rage and joris vingle have linked up here they’re going to try and mount a Chase together collaboration here they’re also putting time into Remco Veno the man who’s sitting in second place here so this is a very much a united front between the two teammates who of course did ride for yomo visma for many years together they were part of the 2021 tour France together they were part of the 2022 Tour of France together as well and the 2020 Welter espia but right now they are on different teams yores vingle riding for Vis Melisa bike Primos rugit is new team Red Bull borans scre and uh yeah vingo getting some encouragement to dig deep here so maybe vingo is on the limit is he on the limit but Remco Veno finds himself 16 seconds down on this Duo here so 16 seconds for the world time Tri Champion to make up here he has of course not really garnered himself the most reputable reputation for descending but of course he’s one of the fastest guys in the world so um yeah but compared to Bingle and rage maybe not um yeah 36 seconds he’s a drift of Ty batcha so this is not good not good from the white jersey but that white jersey is going to be building his Advantage for sure on this stage but uh yeah um we will wait and see we’ll wait and see what happens here um yeah are we going to get a stage win from tatcha I think many of you believe yes 70% of you going for a yes there and uh yeah if you want to see me not being able to hang on to the wheel of uh of the man in third position right now uh TI Pat no Prim RL that is available over on the cycling Dane action channel from early on this year in N so uh check that out if you haven’t already and subscribe so we if you if you’re like Scott stop talking about this I have already subscribed I’m sorry but we need to try and encourage everyone else we got plenty of people in here and I’m sure you could do that but yeah right now the fight 15 seconds now 15 seconds Rog glitch is trying to drive V go down the slopes here they’re going all out here 12 seconds now 11 seconds we okay these Le these gaps of course as we know on uh descent are very uh fragile you never know where that Gap is Tak taken from the motorbikes Etc so um yeah around the 15 12 seconds here 24.6 km still to go here 6 seconds 26 seconds for rco Veno they’re saying 6 seconds between rage and mingle uh and pagat out in front we’ll wait and see here we’ll wait and see this is going to be very very interesting uh what’s going to happen if those three rejoin I think they might have rejoined but we’re seeing the third group now with Remo he’s been joined by two UAE guys I presume that’s almea and Adam and Chon as well and who was the other Rider in front of him I believe that’s Carlos Rodriguez going quite fast at the front here so 24 km still to go of course we got ciz climbs coming up we got two more categorized climbs so anything can happen here anything can happen on today’s stage it’s all still to play for but yeah right now uh they’ve updated the lead here they’re saying it is 20 seconds tacha just almost bottling it there on The Descent there so uh yeah that could have been quite dangerous but taga absolutely going well you’d think quite close to the Limit let’s be honest uh yeah the next climb that’s going to be quite telling to see if uh vingo and them are going to be able to bridge the gap here and we could potentially see yeah uh if we’re going to get the stage win here from UAE it will be the second stage win only the second Rider to get a second stage win of this year’s to of France of course yasper philipson only having one bam gay is the only man who has two stage victories to his name right now but yeah tyacha is well slipping down this descent completely uh Freddy saying everyone should stop working with Vore a um 21 seconds yeah there was also a quite funny Instagram re going around with all the times that he was accused of wheel sucking but yeah uh like was it Nick noan said when he won the Tour of Flanders I’m not paid to uh um do work I’m paid to win bike races but 3.5 km until we get to that next categorized climb and of course the vital thing at the top of that we have got those bonus seconds available in the GC so that means that there are going to be bonus seconds up for grabs for the Riders and if Ty pach is the man out in front that means um yeah he’s going to extend his lead to Remco Veno to Rog to Bingle here so anything can certainly happen here but tacha he knows he has a lead here 24 23 seconds Master Class descending here by Tab gacha and uh 21.8 km still to go here anything can happen on this stage still but are we going to see a stage win from him vingo rugit but right now you guys 70% of you are saying it’s going to be vingos stage not to win because you think it’s going to be a Pacha stage win rage pushing on here vingo being gapped a bit slightly uh yeah JT as well saying I hope r c expecting Yates and almea to pull yeah for sure of course almea former teammate of Remco in quickstep uh they didn’t really enjoy the best uh yeah J Talia together of course uh he had I think that was the one he finished inside the top 10 Roman B just applauding the crowd there on the side of the road of course he is the localish yeah well local compared to many of these writers for sure um yeah we will wait and see what happens here but ran B getting a lot of love on the climb that’s good to see and uh we’ll wait and see if he can do something on stage 14 Stage 15 but yeah a lot of love there for ran by day it’s great to see and and are we going to say a stage Victory from him later on um in the race he has already won a stage so uh what more can you ask for really um yeah we’ll wait and see ran B is the man that we’re seeing on the pictures here but we would like to see the front of the race if possible TV organizers we get it it’s a whome moment but there is a GC battle going on at the front of the screen yeah r b getting uploaded is great we’ll see it in social media later we don’t need to see it now show us the front of the race please vingo Pacha RIT rco nope don’t want to show us okay now we finally see it tacha he’s built his lead up to 30 seconds here 30 seconds that is remarkable but yis vingal is working with rogl so 31 seconds here for these two to make up they’re going to be caught by the group behind 36 seconds here the white jerseys in there so uh yeah it’s going to be brought back together here and there are of course two UAE riders in here so it’s a brilliant brilliant situation for the UAE team here they’ve got a very good position now Adam Yates almea in in is in the second group they’re got going to do no work at the front here but tid Bacha at the front doing his best to just increase his lead over more those bonus seconds 4.4 km to go here 7.9% and uh bonus seconds available and then we have the next ciz climb as well so 7.9% this cat 2 climb he’s going to be building his lead in the polka dot Jersey as well because I think he might be a new polka dot leader at the end of the stage 31 seconds here 31 seconds and uh yeah anything to happen here uh 8 18.9 km still to go here 32 seconds for that second Man Group they really need to have a united front those guys cuz they’ve got two UAE guys here now so anything can happen now anything can happen who’s going to take the stage win it’s looking like this man out in front is the pole sitter right now and uh yeah TI up gacha if he gets over this clim then I think it might just be his to lose uh to say the least but yeah tatea just pushing on everything he’s got four kilometers to go of this climb and that second group we haven’t really seen um yeah it’s uh it’s being yeah we’re seeing the second group here rogich and and vingo they are at the front end of this group now but they’re not making too much inroads here they’re saying they’ve taken up about a four five second chunk out of Pat’s lead but that’s not going to deny him those bonus seconds at the top here so uh yeah it’s uh it’s worrying times for the Riders um who are looking to try and win this stage but or the yellow Jersey cuz now the yes you win a stage but that’s second compared to uh winning the yellow Jersey of course but yeah mikanda we’re also seeing him he’s about a minute down Rog anding go distancing the other guys now a bit Remco up there towards the front and these three guys three out of the four big guys H this is this is bad this is bad if you’re Bing go or rug um what are we saying here recover a little bit on The Descent and then you’ll be ready for the next climb that was the message for Bingle from the team car Tad WEA just absolutely ripping it up here at the front end of the race 3.5 km still to go from him and uh yeah this is brutal stuff by T now Ty Bacha absolutely ripping it up right now uh 34 seconds here to the white jersey group of Remo 5% right now but it’s interesting that they’re not making any in RS to him Bingo rogl and Remco that is our front chasing Trio now so they’ve gotten rid of the UAE stowaways and uh they have a clean clean group now in terms of teammates of tacha not being in there so anything can happen in today’s stage still but it doesn’t look like they’re going to they’re able to close the gap here Remco venol struggling a bit here and 17.9 km 3.2 km left of this catalized climb 12% here Remco Veno goes at the back once more Remco is gone so he’s going to go back to that group he had before vingle and rogl really need to up the tempo here they this is mano am Mano the two-time Tor France Champion versus the other two-time toor France Champion Almeida is going out the back so JT will be very unhappy about that and our Portuguese friends as well uh Adam Yates holding on to Chon and caros Rodriguez here the third place finisher of last year of course Adam Yates Carlos Rodriguez desperately want to top five don’t think it’s gonna be a Podium for him but yeah aingle and rogl trying to bring back taracha but it’s no use here they’re losing time they’re losing time to paga here they’re losing time to P paga here um yeah 40 seconds now 40 seconds of on the race now so uh yeah 40 seconds of a lead 2.9 km Remco Veno he finds himself in yeah a bit further back uh Bingle and rogl so we haven’t got a Time Gap we haven’t got a Time Gap so it’s 27 seconds 28 seconds to the rogl and Bingle group so they have made a bit of time into Pacha here so uh yeah they they just updated the graphic there so uh REM vable finds himself about 15 seconds down to um rogl and vingle and then rogl and vingle they’ve got 27 seconds up if they’re going to try and deny the the win there by uh or the getting those bonus seconds that are going to be contested in 2.7 km time so they really need to step step on it now if they’re going to do something here this is going to be electric here 133% here these two are finding themselves adjust ling a bit with the gradients here they can not quite see tacha here still 24 25 seconds here they’re battling desperately to try and hang on his wheel or see his wheel but they’re a bit further down on the road here 2.6 k is they really need to try and up the tempo if they can I’m not sure I’m not sure if they have it in them it’s really on the limit here we’re seeing the three best riders in this race on their limit trying to turn out the pace here in front of a for our entertainment rogl is he going to do a turn here to try and help vingal or is he going to do his best impersonation of vingal I think rogl is struggling here rogl is struggling rogl is struggling RIT is gone r is gone bye-bye rage that is why we weren’t getting a turn from him so Red Bull borans the the Tor France winning project has to take another year I think oh this is getting interesting yoris vingle pushing on the tempo here he’s only got one man in sight and that is Pacha paga versus wingle this is electric stuff between the two they’ve been having so many battles across the years and is this another chapter to their Amazing Story potentially the best rivalry we’ve ever had in the tourto France certainly the best rivalry since Alberto Conor and Andre schle but right now tagat has got 2.3 km left of this climb he wants the bonus seconds at the top here 17 18 seconds here vingo is slowly taking a few chunks out of his lead here so it’s very very interesting oh this is getting close here and uh yeah we’re over we’re over uh well 1,600 people in the chat great to have you all here 19 seconds now is the lead uh between the two um and uh subscribe to our little brother channel the cycling day action Channel as well help us get to a th000 we only missing 150 but right now Primos rage 20 seconds already behind Bingle he’s got about 7 Seconds between him and rco Evo so rcoo potentially can catch Primo’s rug he was doing a lot of this in the doofan just staying in the zone where he’s comfortable and this might be to his Advantage for uh the battle for the podium for the white jersey for sure because his biggest rival for that white jersey probably is ju Uso but tacha 15 seconds he’s upping his virtual lead here 1 minute and 22 seconds ahead of Remco Veno here in the virtual classification Remco Veno still finds himself in second place Bingle uh taking uh some of the advantage that uh Remco Veno had to the Dane but the Dane the two-time defending torto France Champion he’s desperately trying to challenge this narrative that’s happening right now but 17 18 seconds now I don’t know if vingo has anything left in the tank here 19 seconds 19 seconds here this is getting interesting 20 seconds 19 seconds ooh this is getting remarkably good here what are we going to see here we’re getting a message coming in from this Melissa bike this could be quite interesting to say the least this Melissa bike come on Yus you’re not doing any further well it’s not doing any further away he will I couldn’t read that and it was a bit broken it was a bit Dutch English Dutch if that’s a thing there’s danglish Danish English but yeah 16 seconds 16 seconds 11% tabat is looking very smooth here on the bike very cool CM collect here this is looking good he’s looking behind can he see vingle one kilometer left here he knows that the Dane is coming up behind him these two juking it out on the road once more rcoo is joining rogl here rogl is he on the limit here rco Veno looking very measured here he’s looking very good rogl looking a bit more like he’s struggling so we’re waiting to see here but it’s all still to playful for these guys here who’s going to take it is it going to be Remco Evo or is it going to be Prim much rage for that third place on the podium by the time we get toce oh this is getting interesting who’s going to take it who is going to take the stage win today who’s going to win the yellow Jersey by the end of it rcoo and Tara are not on the same place on the road 800 meters to go here 800 M to go here that is all that we’ve got left of the stage or not the stage of this uh penultimate cized climb so uh anything any man’s game here but yores vingle is very very close to our man taga at the front so these two Jugger notes of the sport are really trying to Juke it out once more 13 12 seconds it’s coming down guys are we on for a big big effort here but the problem is if tyat has got bullets left yis Bingle often doesn’t have the same kick as him so yeah uh I if I was tabach I would just sit up here Ty Pacha just set up and then pip him on the bonus seconds but he can see Ty Pacha here he can see him oh yonis Bingle how much has he put into this as well that is the big question has he put too much into this is he is this is the check going to come and it’s too much here but Remco and taracha are not on the same place on the road like they were in the gravel stage right now tacha finds himself ahead of everyone yoris mingle trying to hunt him down these two riders that have won the last four editions of the race are really juking it out here the battle is on the road on this cat 2 climb they’re coming very close to that bonus second opportunity as well so we’re getting very close here yoris Bingle reeling in the Slovenian bit by bit here is this poker face by Tache is he just going to hit him once more when yores comes close here this is getting very very interesting tacha how much has he got left of course he’s already got a Jalia in his legs he won six stages of that Year’s Jalia or this year’s J is he going to start paying for that is the receipt coming but tyacha looks behind he sees his rival Yus vingal yores vingal coming up to his wheel here tcha just sit If I Was His Radio his DS now it says sit up sit on the wheel yoris fingle and hit him right before the bonus Sprint but the two United once more on the road here these two biggest names in the pelaton in terms of the GC in terms of gr tours and yeah right now what is going to happen yores vingal the pride of Denmark tacha lifting the pace here can vingle follow the acceleration here the small acceleration they’re going for the bonus spr here yor trying to come around are they going to be able oh Yus losing the time there so the top bonus seconds going for uh Yus Bingle of course we got one more cise coming up as well and yeah that was quite an accelerating little Gap there between the two are they just going to set up now they’ve got a gap of 49 seconds to Remco and rage but are they just going to Mark each other out here is that what’s going to happen and we’re going to get the top four reunited again I would love to see that and uh yeah it’s getting very crazy now Remco Veno really grimacing here they’re coming to up towards that point as well where we were earlier and Remco Veno primy much Rit these two big Welter spia winners and Remco Veno just takes the other bonus point there so rogich losing out on some free time there so yeah great to have almost 2,000 people in the chat uh hope you’re well and why not head over to the cycling Dan action Channel and the video I’ve shared there is where I cycle with none other than Remco no Prim much’s RIT so uh yeah that was a bit early on in N but we also got uh the rest day as well so 150 people that’s all we need so we would really love for 150 people who haven’t already to subscribe but yeah Y is vingle and vingle that small acceleration there that attack there very very interesting and yeah t Pacha just listen to what I said there what was it just sit up and then really just pounce when you came come to that bonus Sprint but yoris been got riding into this race as well of come of course coming with that absolutely terrible um recovery as we know well crash and then recovering from that but yonas pushing on here what can he do here that’s the big question Ty Bacha on his wheel would love to take the win here today both of them yoris hasn’t won a stage of this year’s Toral France was quite clinical last year just winning that one the the yeah the time trial that we had on stage 16 in quite an emphatic manner but yeah bonus well the the mountains Jersey points there going five points for tacha so he picked up 15 points over the last two we got 6.3 kmers until the next climb so uh yeah we will wait and see what’s going to happen here yoris Bingle he’s just uh doing the turn here looks around come on T do some work T what’s he saying I don’t want to do any work I don’t care I this is my to of France to lose but right now uh it’s very interesting between the two of them 12 km to go here 12 km that is it that is it for this year’s stage 11 yesterday was a bit of a s news Fest on some parts but we also have a confirmation that tachet has overtaken the pokero Jersey so we do have a new leader as well in that so uh yeah that that is uh sad you have to say we hate when uh Riders have double jerseys except if they’re abrahamson and looks like they’re not going to win any of them by the time we get to Paris but abrahamson is going to be wearing his trade kit for the first time in a very long time in this year’s toal France tomorrow so that’s a shame but right now t ATA yis V is your front two Riders they’ve lost about 8 seconds to Remco Veno and Primus RIT then uh about 43 seconds down on them we have got uh yeah we’ve got the likes of Carlos Rodriguez the Adam Yates is in there as well so many of them can do something here as well but uh tyacha yon vingo towards the front here they’re desperately wanting to try and do uh well both of those teams want to take a stage wi UAE already having 1-1 and uh yeah V got yet to win one here and so are his teammates V my Lisa B no stage win as of yet uh many of you thinking that tach is going to be dropped on the next climb so we’ll see if you guys are correct here but uh yeah tacha enough good position right now good position right now we’re coming closer to the next climb as well so we’ll see what the Riders can do anything can happen on the stage still but what is happening is that the group behind are starting to eat in on this advantage and that is of course Remco and tacha there or not tatcha the other Slovenian not all slovenians are the same of course uh Primos rug if they can just bring this Gap back that would be good for their aspirations their uh toal France try and limit the losses that they’re getting and well if they get back there’s no losses but of course there is that final climb where we might see one of them really punch out but Remco Veno looks like he’s riding quite measured here um it certainly is an interesting part of the race now the stal me here um yeah this is this is interesting but now tacha on their descent here is just starting to increase a few bike lengths uh in terms of a gap between him and yoris 35 seconds these two still have and we have that got that final climb coming up as well that cashr climb who thought a cat 3 climb might be leaving this potentially big mark on the total France but tyraa yones Wingo they’re absolutely juking it out here doing their best and vingard is this it are we going to see them really drling for the positions here oh vingal versus tacha this is a battle the Rivalry for the ages and uh who’s going to win today that’s the big question great to have 2,500 people in the chat let us know where you’re watching from as well who do you think is going to win is it going to be tacha is it going to be yonis Wingo that is our next poll um yeah it’s tacha taking it quite cautiously Around The Descent of course we saw him having a bit of a slip up almost um but yeah who will win the stage who will win the stage that is the big question Remco RIT POG or yonas that is your Bunch well your choices so the four biggest names or the four biggest names in terms of this year to France in the GC they are the four first Riders here on the road they’re going to be the first four Riders seeing the Finishing Line and 8.7 km to go tatcha but right now Remco Eno is losing some distance to rogl here rogl is losing a bit of time now rage is losing a bit of time here so that is very worrying uh no not Rog glit rco rco rco wrong R rco was losing a bit of time to Rog glitch there so but they’re back together now they’re back together so that small worry there it’s fine nothing happened but yeah right now yis Bingle is just starting to put the Herd on here at the front uh they want to keep this margin up they’re coming ever closer to that penultimate climb here or that final climb even not penultimate of course it is a cat 3 climb we haven’t really talked about it let’s have a chat about the climb coming up as well it’s a interesting one um the profile today that we’ve seen but I’ll we going to see anyone do a decisive move it’s not as tough as we’ve seen earlier on it’s 5.5 km or 5.5% in average so it’s not the hardest climb 7% is the uh hardest point and then it’s 3.4 km in length so uh yeah that is interesting to say the least that climb is coming up in about 2 km time but it’s still yonas and tacha out in front they’re doing their best to stick out here in front of everyone they want to be the last man standing they want to compete for the win here they want to extend their margin over REM Veno and rage these two guys who have their own little rivalry uh with Catalonia a push there by by rco he’s getting tired of uh people not working with him so yeah rco there probably seeing that rogl is a bit tired but in the third group on the road chor is trying to up the pressure here so chor is trying to up the move here or up the pressure in that third group on the road so anything can really happen still in the stage can these guys potentially no I don’t think they can they’ve almost got a minute of a difference between them and the second group on the road here so anything can happen anything can happen still who do you think is going to win Pacha yonas only 4% of you going for for uh Remco and only 5% going for Primus RIT which is understandable when they’re 34 seconds down 7.3 km to go here it’s really in the nitty-gritty part of the stage now this is the part of the stage that we’ve all come while we were all waiting for at the beginning of the stage this is why we’re joining and right now yoris vingo looking to see if he can put some time into T bacho for the first time in this year’s to France the defending two-time to France Champion the man that put tacha to the sword in 2022 on the C granon stage and since then the dynamic of this this rivalry really took a shift but uh yeah this year looks like the shift has gone the other way here unfortunately for anyos of yores vingal fans but right now 6.9 kilm left here 3435 seconds so the margin between this rivalry and the other rivalry is a bit stagnant right now so that third group on the road as well it’s very it’s very very static the situation it’s 35 36 seconds uh for these this front Duo to the second group on the road then 1 minute and 33 seconds to the next group on the road and uh yeah that’s kind of the status quo right now or the situation right now bagu as well he’s in the fourth group on the road but they’re not really getting any TV time because the action is at the front here yoris vingo and Ty pachu working well together here at the front both riding a a bike with the letter c sell kago but number one vingo and number 11 tyacha the four time white jersey winner here the two time four tour to Frances between the two of them the last four tour to Frances actually and we suspect that this fifth one will also be one between the two of them but yeah what an amazing recovery here that yis b got has done to get back in shape get back in this sort of form to be up here being able to drop Remco Veno and rogl as well so he’s shown that he is really riding into this race but yeah we’re going to have to see if tacha can do something here as well um both of these men so used to wearing the color yellow but here we are the final categorized climb of the day 3.3 km in length uh 5 8% so the graphics were a bit different than what procycling stats had but here is the real action 5.9 km left of this climb um also 5.9 well 5.9 km left of the stage shall I say 3 km left of the climb 11% here we’re getting here right now we’re going to see tacha how much has he got left yanus bingo is he going to try and test your theory that he might be spent um yeah just put it in the big ring and go for a big water attack here if you want to get test him Remco Veno and rage they’re also on the climb here 38 seconds down so they’re going to try and see if they can make up the Gap here of course they will try and um see if they can benefit of these guys just looking at each other too much but maybe these two will start looking at each other as well and then they have that minute down to the next group on the road you want vingle it’s almost like a track Sprint here um vingle looking behind here very conscious of T gacha potentially hitting out here H where’s the what data of course they don’t want to show that because then you could kind of tell what’s going on here um between the big guys of course the team cars are looking at what we’re seeing as well the screens but uh yeah the virtual classification is showing that jorus has about a 4C deficit to Remco Veno and Adam yat is going to be leaping himself into the top 10 in GC juano so they’re going to have four Riders inside the top 10 UAE that’s ridiculous 2.5 km to to go here so 2.4 km even for this climb here no one really attacking I think tacha might try and attack on The Descent here but yeah yores come on yores attack attack attack and the the combativity award has gone to tacha so a few more coppers to add to the UAE growing team prize fund here 5 km to go here 1 minute and 44 seconds from these two down to the Rodriguez group here that has plenty of the UAE Boys in there as well uh 37 seconds between RIT Remco and that front Duo two kmers left here rco and rogl who’s got most out of them in terms of energy left uh they were of course also victims of that b country crash uh but right now it’s uh looking very interesting tacha still keeping a high Tempo here Yas not willing to just throw it on the line here just willing to see what happens here they working quite well together here but of course if you do attack and then the pace seizes up then that kind of gives an advantage to that second group on the road because every time there’s an attack and a lull afterwards the group behind who working well together they’re just consistently driving that gap down so yeah we’ll wait and see what happens here Yas not really attacking here I think they’re just thinking about the defensive game here he’s content with letting uh TI of gatu take the stage win I think I think uh uh they’re probably thinking about that back three stages in that final week of the total France and of course we’ll be here for that as well so uh if you haven’t already hit the like button subscribe to the channel if you’re new and uh we’re nearing 50,000 subscribers as well so thank you to every single one of you who’ve done that and of course we’re very close to 1,000 subscribers in the cycling Dane action channel so uh check that out as well if you haven’t already only 150 subscribers it cost you nothing so uh I would really appreciate if you could do that but back with the last 4 km to go here 4 km 1.3 km of the climb left rco Veno and rogl losing ground 38 37 seconds here but tyach is you going to hit out here I mean this would kind of tell you that potentially tyat is feeling it here I would try and test him or Ty bat is maybe just feeling thinking about that final Sprint but jorus very conservative here in his approach defensive many people were critical of this on the gravel stage but uh yeah within reason I would say if you’ve just come back from uh injury that could have well killed you in know in some respects uh then um yeah and even being here at the start line was a great achievement but I am very glad he is here because could you imagine no vingo here then tacha would just do copy paste of what we saw in the jirre so V go the only man who’s able to match tacha in a grand toour setting or even beat him on some occasions on two occasions as we know but right now it’s we’re winding a our time back to 2021 with Pacha in the yellow and vingle the man who is the hunter so vingo has just sailed into the second place virtually uh 700 M here vingo is he going to go for an attack here no he just UPS the pressure here well he just UPS the tempo a bit they’re just doing rotations here at the front 600 well about 700 met to go of this final Climb come on yess attack attack attack attack we want to see it we don’t want to see this neutralized racing by you two okay I I I can appreciate the tempo’s high but put a dig in just test him test him see where Pates is you never know if he’s doing a poker face it could be the biggest poker face here but if you don’t attack you’ll never know here he’s just looking behind yis Bingle tyacha reluctantly on second wheel now is he just going to he’s looking like he’s about to attack here Pacha o Yus just making sure he covers off the left hand side there it’s it has a very track Sprinter feel here but yores is he going to be the first man to cross the line here of the final climb of the stage of course as we know the virtual polka Jersey wearer is sitting right behind him in the form of tatcha 250 M to go there’s no bonus seconds available here for the two up here that was already decided in the last one and Remco and rage are coming up behind them so uh yeah 35 seconds still they’ve maintained that Gap to the second second pair but yoris looking around here Pacha looking around they’re coming towards the top here is yoris just going to sweep this cap three points here he’s not ah this was boring yess why didn’t you attack yores yess yest that was a wasted opportunity H that was a wasted opportunity but uh this descent could also throw up something as well maybe maybe you want vingo is going to try and do an attack a masterclass attack move here by yis I don’t see it happening of course we had him in a gr Comino we had him in terano riding very well downhill but it’s down to 31 seconds now 30 seconds between yores Bingo group and the rank Veno lead group as well well pair it’s not a group but yonas what can he do here he’s trying to follow the motorcycle uh is it doesn’t look it looks a bit damp the road I’m not sure if it’s just the road surface here but yeah Yus coming around a hair pin here coming around a corner taking a very easy tacha might just attack him two kmers to go here these two this is going to be a tacha victory two kilm to go here this is going to be interesting to follow what happens in terms of the top 10 of course we’ll get you those standings after the racing is over for the top guys of course the racing is going to be quite long from many of these guys uh going into the stage but yeah right now tadat and yoris bingo they find themselves at the top here of the standings right now and who’s going to win the stage today D remains o this is a very wet patch there are a number of wet patches here on The Descent so it’s not over this this is a very tricky descent here so uh they’re both taking it quite easy here 1.5 km Remco is really putting some pressure in here on The Descent trying to get rid of Rage cuz of course they’re all burus seconds out the Finish but yeah right now Remco venol PR rogl 30 seconds of a gap here 1 minute and 57 seconds to the RL groups not the r the Rodriguez group so Carlos Rodriguez losing time on the podium favorites here so I think that top five is probably a more realistic goal for him but jonis vingle and oh crash crash crash crash RL crashes RIT issue RIT rogl rogl RIT is in trouble Rog is in trouble oh R is in trouble rogl is in trouble here oh so the fourth place finisher was being put under a bit of pressure there by uh rco vinole and it’s starting to pay he’s paying for that Ving go coming towards the the front here and yeah this is going to be a Sprint for the Finish is T going to give him the stage win I think not vingo looking around this is going to be the easiest win for Tache almost ever we know he’s the better Sprinter of the two 500 met to go yess we know you’re playing for second here but tacha you this isn’t where you should have won the stage it wasn’t that final climb if you were going to do it but you didn’t do it but yeah Yus vingo there that is it’s Tes for the win here let’s be honest 61% of you believe it is Tes for the win I think that’s not going to surprise any of us if Ty takes lifts the victory here uh or is he going to give the stage to yonas I don’t think so these two are Arch Rivals um tid patcha come on yess what are you doing it’s a track Sprint here at a long day of of racing yoris vingle desperately wants to oh he opens up here yoris opens up is tacha going to be able to follow him yes he is the flesh Fone former champion the winner of Le this year has he got it him him tyach yones vingo epic Sprint here who’s going to take it I think Jones might have it Yas Yas Sprint finish here joras takes it what a win by yonas Bingle wow wow wow that was a win yis winning a go that was a champion effort there that was a remarkable effort by the dean wow wow I didn’t not see that coming the the Finish was a bit of an incline as well rco Veno in third place here and uh yeah that was remarkable wow and then we have um a Rog glit coming up the road as well he’s just doing his best after that mechanical or whatever it was his break lever looks a bit wonky so that could maybe be where he crashed so uh RIT going to be losing time but we kind of assumed that but he’s going to be losing time to rco by quite a lot so yeah he stops the time just before the one minute Mark here we’ll get you the top 10 as well that was one incredible ride there wow wow wow uh but yeah Adam Yates is in that third group here Jo M up there as well caros Rodriguez Chon mikz managed to recover as well so these five Riders they probably our lower end of the top 10 they’re going to be battling it out for that fifth place fifth place is going to be where this around this area uh but we it looks like we might have four UAE Riders inside the top 10 here Adam Yates is going for the late charge here so is chakor chakor is trying to get that fifth place on the day here is he going to get it looks like the polka out jersey winner from last year is well and truly going to get that and he’s going to get a gap between him and I think the two UAE boys here as well Carlos Rodriguez the loser there he’s the last man out of that group there so Carlos Rodriguez that fifth place is even looking a bit shaky at this stage of course he finished fifth place last year but yoris Bingle wow wow wow wow this is remarkable yoris Bingle We Salute him the Dane friend of the channel of course we’ve sub well we’ve uh chatted to him twice but yeah TB gacha was he just on the limit there I don’t know that was very interesting to say the least anything can happen in today’s stage or not no nothing can happen in today’s stage it’s over uh but in terms of that yellow Jersey another uh another interesting chapter in their remarkable rivalry here he takes his first stage win the Dan first Danish winner as well toor France where we’ve seen two Dan leave the race with Casper pson Mass Pon but right now it is a Day yoris vingle sales at the top here y being G Hansen is the man who has taken the stage win the two just linging out for the Sprint there track Sprint at the end of today’s stage and who would have seen that coming but Jones vingle and tyacha add another chapter to their incredible historic rivalry that we will wait to see what more they can do into this year’s torto France but yeah we’ll get you the top 10 we’ll see how that changes the GC as well and what it kind of does to the lower ends of the top 10 as well but a lot can happen here a lot can happen on the stage that’s for sure um but uh yeah uh we’ll wait and see um what’s going to happen on today’s stage but that was an incredible Victory there for yores uh we can’t say anything but that to be honest is he going to be able to take uh the win in nice later on this year that remains to be seen but yeah what an epic Sprint that was just getting the better of uh taracha and the two of them really crossing swords there um on our epic moment there but yonis Bingo just winning that by half a bike well half a wheel length there but I’ll get you the top 10 go through the GC as well we will do the recap race analysis over on the cycling day extra Channel we’ll of course have our Sprinter well your Sprinter Jack Bennett will break down what’s been happening on the stage and uh yeah that’s also available on the cycling Dane podcast but in terms of the stage win that is going to the Danish Shores and we have our first Danish winner of course I’m very happy about that being a Dane myself as we know hence why the cycling Dane um yeah some people don’t know that and think I’m called Dane I’m not called Dane uh but yeah a win for this Melisa bike that will be great relief for the team as well coming so close with W Bernard in a number of stages they didn’t quite get that top result that they were lusting for and uh after having so much bad luck this year even having crashed with Kerman Mato jensson with what we not even on today’s stage while vard crashed and then being able to lift their arms raise it up and uh yeah at one point it did look like it was all over and tacha had it but Jones Wingo just managed to sail in the Slovenian the jira dalala champion and the two-time Tor France defending Champion meeting there on the slopes of this climb but anyways the top 10 in terms of the stage we have got the winner of the stage is jonis vingle of Team Vis M Lisa bik the Dane adds another uh tour France stage onto his palmares of course and uh yeah he that means he adds how many stages has he won the C granon the H to come and the stage 16 so there you have it fourth stage win Ty batcha second place the yellow Jersey winner of course he does extend his lead because of that bonus second um and of course he was the second place rider was Remco Veno but he’s finishes on the same time as JIS Bingo and then Remco ieno the white jersey he managed to get third place on the day takes two seconds as well courtesy of that bonus Sprint that we had on that cized climb Primos rogich in fourth place 55 seconds down chor he finds himself in fifth place 1 minute and 47 seconds down but best of the rest being the man bidding to get a fifth place potentially that fifth place is looking very competitive to say the least and Jo El MAA 1 minute and 49 seconds down the first of the UAE men that aren’t tacha and then you’ve got Adam Yates there as well in seventh place you’ve got mik under uh the lieutenant for Remco Veno finishing in a strong eighth place and Carlos Rodriguez disappointingly 6 seconds down on this group so that means this Melissa bike will have it to go back to the drawing board a bit here because uh yeah that is a bucket load of seconds to lose to his rivals on what is supposed to be kind of his terrain here but great to have still 2,000 people in the chat make sure to hit the like button subscribe to the channel as well of course we got the the cycling day extra Channel um where we’ve got the the what are we saying the recap coming up as well in a well hopefully an hour and uh yeah make sure to hit the like button as well if you haven’t already and uh we’ll Wai to see uh what is going to happen on today’s uh in later into the stage but uh yeah and subscribe to our sister Channel as well if you haven’t already the second Dan extra Channel and of course also the cycling Dane action Channel but uh yeah anything can happen on today’s stage that’s for sure well no nothing can happen uh but yeah let’s get you the GC as well that was kind of what I was stalling for as the Manchester Jersey points as well but uh yeah a lot of questions to be answered in the recap here should yoris have attacked apparently not because he did very well to win the Sprint but yeah a top 10 I found the top 10 plenty of movers there Derek G found unfortunately it’s not a good look for you um but yeah let’s just get you the top 10 and then we can Scurry off and do the yeah the recap race analysis but of course the cycling day action channel that is a place where we desperately need 150 of you so the cycling day in action our little brother Channel where we had B gay on The Recovery day cycling with him that was pretty funny but yeah there you go TI Bater still leads this year’s toal France 1 minute and 6 seconds ahead of Reno vapo so that means he extends his lead on the Belgian but the Belgian he loses touch or loses his advantage to yones vingal here so yones vingal goes up into well he was in third place but he takes a lot of time back on the Remco 1 minute and 14 seconds down Prima rage in fourth place and losing more touch to the front three Jo MAA moves up into fifth place we’ll be very happy about that the friend of the channel Carlos Rodriguez moves up as well one place inos granders four minutes and 40 seconds down mikanda as well 5 minutes and 38 seconds down Adam yat almost 7 minutes down but crucially inside the top 10 and there you have it Juan Yuzu the fourth UAE Rider in top 10 wow Julio chor he’s in 10th place and that is our top 10 so uh yeah that is uh exciting times here to say the least great to have so many people in the chat and uh of of course make sure to hit the like button if you haven’t already and subscribe to the channel before we finish up here but Tia uh yeah a very emotional uh yis Ving got here at the end and uh what a recovery that was by him Shao my friend Shao um and uh very emotional T of gcha Yus B go but uh yeah Yas what an effort that was was what an absolutely incredible effort that was and uh we’ll see what he can do later on in this race but with that

Sound is fine for me
Now who won the last bonus ? You first say Vinegard loose and then he wins. Confusing, you are contradicting yourself.
Yay for Jonas!!

Jonas pulls out the stage victory! I guess even though he may not be at 100%, he is still performing at an extraordinary level. Hats off to young Tadej on getting the 2nd place stage victory and KOM points. Definitely exciting.
💯💯🇪🇷🇪🇷🏆🙏
Vingegaard Rock'n Roll 😎🇩🇰🤟
