00:00After nearly five hours of incredible racing across the mountains, we're about to see the
00:06dynamic duo race head-to-head for the stage win. Who is going to get it? Pogacar is ready,
00:13Wengergaard is set, and now they start to kick. Pogacar's second wheel, Wengergaard
00:18wants to have the mental blow of beating Pogacar to the line. It's a flat-out sprint between
00:24the two of them. Who's going to win this stage? Look at Pogacar go, look at Wengergaard. It's
00:29going to be a photo finish. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. This is more legendary
00:41than just dropping everybody off your wheel. You showed so much fighting spirit today,
00:46so, so, so proud of you. Ha! Yes! What a legend. A stage like this is good for Jonas, I think,
00:57and it's a long and a hard race. I think, first of all, a super nice stage win, but
01:04more important, it's really a mental victory, I would say, if you can close the gap, like,
01:09I think, 35 seconds on top of Pogacar. It's really impressive. I heard everything in the
01:16radio until the final kilometres that he was closing the gap, and that was really nice
01:23to hear a really close-knock score.
01:28Did you ever doubt it? Yes. Yes.
01:54Ah, the crash was so hard, and at that moment I was so deep with him, and the hospital was
02:02terrible, the weeks after was terrible, and that he's back here as a robber.
02:08And only congrats for the winner, for Jonas. He's two days better in the final, so this
02:15is a congrats for the winner, and the battle will continue.
02:19There was a moment where we thought, OK, if he loses two minutes today, then everybody
02:23loses two minutes to Pogacar today, then the tour indeed might be over, and what Jonas
02:28showed, that was more than incredible, so I'm really, really impressed by him, and he
02:34really deserves his victory. When Pogacar attacks, he attacks so hard. Jonas couldn't
02:38follow initially, but how he rode then for the last, what was it, 35 kilometres, was
02:45very impressive.
02:46Fran spoke about how you coached him back into the race, but to close that gap. What
02:49were you saying to him?
02:51Yeah, that he should do his own race, his own thing, and that it's not over yet, that
02:56he had to fight until the finish, and that he had to show what a champion he is, but
03:00I think that's only a very, very small part that you can help a rider with coaching when
03:05he's pushing 500 watts or 400 watts on the climb.
