00:00It is a triumph for Tadej Pogacar, four stage wins in the Tour de France and a total obliteration.
00:30Jonas would maybe try on bonnet, that was my initial thought, but then we saw that they were riding also really super fast in the front so I think their main goal today was to take the stage, but yeah, I take that.
01:01You give everything into it.
01:08Another piece of a ride, how would you summarize it?
01:12Take it easy guys.
01:15Very tough stage, didn't have my best legs today and I had to switch a bit the mindset halfway through the stage.
01:23I don't think he was better than on Plateau du Baie, but I was just not as good.
01:31Looking better than ever, I would say so also. I'm super happy, it's quite a margin now.
01:37Always when there is a possibility to win a stage you can take it, especially if it's the Tour de France.
01:52On to the final mountain stage of this Tour de France with four climbs and a first ever finish on the Col de la Couillole. It kicks off in Nice where the race will conclude tomorrow.
02:14Birthday of my son, one year today. I love you.
02:23EF Education Easypost made an aggressive start with Paulus pacing hard for Carapace on the Col de Braus and doing some serious damage.
02:32The boat is sinking in this ascent, the boat is sinking.
02:37It's a bit of a mess, it's a bit of a mess, but we won the stage.
02:45As the race was being blown to bits on this first climb, three men got a small gap.
02:50Kelderman and Amirai joined by Enric Mass of Movistar.
02:55UAE soon took control of the yellow jersey group, keeping a close eye on Carapace and Jorgensen.
03:01The gap was only a minute at the first summit as several dropped riders, including Carlos Rodriguez, caught up to what was left of the peloton.
03:09Carapace then countered, going clear with Champassin, Bardet, Tratnick and Solaire.
03:14The three escaped the second difficulty, the famous Col de Turigny.
03:20The Carapace group managed to join the three leaders halfway up the Col de Turigny, although Champassin was dropped after a mechanical, so seven now at the front.
03:29And just before the summit, seven became ten as Steuven, Jenietz and Johannesson also bridged across.
03:40There was a change back in the peloton meanwhile, with Soudal Quickstep now pacing on behalf of Evenepoel.
03:47The Carapace group managed to join the three leaders halfway up the Col de Turigny, although Champassin was dropped after a mechanical, so seven now at the front.
03:58The Carapace group managed to join the three leaders halfway up the Col de Turigny, although Champassin was dropped after a mechanical, so seven now at the front.
04:28The Carapace group managed to join the three leaders halfway up the Col de Turigny, although Champassin was dropped after a mechanical, so seven now at the front.
04:35It's a dream scenario for these riders if they can get to the finish line.
04:39There could be a rider who wins his first ever stage of the Tour, but Soudal Quickstep seem to have a different plan for the day.
04:48Carapace is the rider who's injecting a little bit more urgency into that group.
04:53Bardet does the same.
04:562'30", 2'30", the group's delay to the yellow. 2'30".
05:16Two men in front, two men in front, Henrik Maes and the jersey is completely clear, Richard Carapace.
05:25Big acceleration, big gear change there. Jonas Vengergaard clawing his way back onto the wheel.
05:31A big concerted move by Remco Evenepoel.
05:34He's got rid of Almeida, he's just got about a metre between him and Vengergaard, and he thinks, no, it's not going to happen.
05:41There he goes, Vengergaard, big acceleration.
05:44He looks at Remco Evenepoel and says, anything you can do, I can do better.
05:50Oh, into that corner. Big acceleration.
05:54The double Tour de France winner says, well, Remco, you try and match this one.
06:09Vengergaard gets out the saddle with the yellow jersey, the top two in the Tour.
06:14The fans being treated to the best two riders for the last few years in the Tour de France.
06:20And Tadej Pogacar is now in a position to win his fifth stage in this year's Tour.
06:32The Ecuadorian eagle right now doesn't have the wings.
06:35And now the yellow jersey strikes and a shake of the head from Vengergaard, who says, there's nothing, nothing I can do.
06:44It's pure power. It's Tadej Pogacar.
06:47It's win number five in this year's Tour de France.
06:51Take a massive bow, Tadej Pogacar, because that is five wins in this year's race.
07:05If you told me this before the Tour, I would not, I would not believe it.
07:23And it's just out of this world, actually.
07:28Today he showed that he's not easy to crack and that he's a real fighter.
07:42Pogacar showing everyone else who's boss for the fifth time on this Tour, with Vengergaard unable to even sprint in the final.
07:49That's 19 wins in 51 race days this season.
07:53The Slovenian's victory is all but assured, but he'll no doubt be going for a sixth stage win in tomorrow's time trial to match his exploits at the Giro.
08:01Away from the GC battle, Biniyam Gemay is set to round out his dream Tour with victory in the points classification ahead of Jasper Philipsen.
08:10And even if he couldn't take another stage win today, Carapaz will be heading home with the polka dot jersey, 30 points his lead on Pogacar.
08:19Evenepoel lost 53 seconds today, but remains the best young rider and will be looking to finish on a high note in the time trial.
