00:00I
00:18Helping to set him a good sprint at the very end
00:21Max Cantor being consoled by Maz Pedersen about his relegation perhaps don't know what they're talking about
00:26But that's what it looked like as the race gets underway and straight away
00:30We have an attack from Arkea B&B
00:32Hotels which makes perfect sense because they don't really have a rider for the finish today and Palti visit Malta
00:37Straight onto that no immediate counter
00:40Reaction yet, but VF group Bardiani surely have to be in the break if it's going to go today in slightly bigger number
00:47Where are those light blue jerseys?
00:49We are respecting them, you know, also Petilli give us indication that would be quite disappointing
00:54I can spot one of Bardiani guy riding a little bit in the mix really surprised. They haven't tried to go
01:01And Movistar I think he didn't want to get involved because he's
01:04Yeah, it's slowing slowing down. Yeah, I think he was there just to police things actually for Allah
01:10In fact Movistar were riding there as if they were one of the the the big teams trying to control
01:15Last time in Matera same finish a Frenchman won. Do you see it finishing this way today as well?
01:20Yeah, at least I will try. I felt quite good yesterday
01:26Yeah
01:27A good final yesterday and today I think we can go again today with 8x8
01:34Yeah, will be very hard, very active, but we are motivated
01:37Too hard for you?
01:39Yeah, maybe too hard. I think the climb
01:422.5k at 10% 25k from the finish will decide if I feel good or not
01:49But if I'm still there in the final, I think it's it's a very good final for me and
01:54Yeah, with the with the steep climb to 3k from the finish
01:58This is something I like and if I'm there, I will try to go for a stage win
02:03And it's exactly what Epis does. Oh, does he? Yeah, he's just where he was waiting there for Davide Bais to launch
02:11And he's going to back himself to come round Davide Bais
02:14These two riders will know each other particularly well
02:16Bais though, by the looks of it just about hanging on although he's beaten now and
02:20He's got the result that he wanted, Josue Epis and Lorenzo Milezzi just let them
02:25Here's my list, my nice list
02:26Yeah, look through the team so you can remind yourself of which teams are in the race
02:32EF
02:32Yes, I got it! Fantastic!
02:35That was something I was...
02:36What about you?
02:38Well, it's interesting isn't it because they...
02:39Yeah, Richard Canapaz had a relatively disappointing time trial
02:43Sergio Perez, but here comes Sebastian Vettel, he's there connect with Lewis Hamilton
02:48Vettel is alongside and ahead, Ocon is also ahead, there's more of Brisco into the cove
02:54You know what that is? Simply lovely
02:58300 meters still to go, Epis is forced into sprinting, that was smart by Milezzi
03:03He kind of...
03:05He bluffed Epis a little bit there and this is an opportunity for Davide Bais
03:09If he's got the legs to come off the slipstream of those smaller men but he can't
03:12And Epis holds on and...
03:14Do you take part in the Red Bull Kilometre for sponsorship reasons or for winning the Giro d'Italia?
03:22I cannot tell everything, let's be the secret
03:26Do you intend to go for time bonus again today or maybe every day?
03:31Boy, I mean...
03:34Obviously, hopefully not now, I don't really...
03:38Yeah, it's hard to do sprint after sprint so
03:40Just have to see how the opportunities will be
03:44There is an interesting sprint to do today, sometimes you're a sprinter at the finish of stages like this
03:49It's an uphill finish
03:50Do you go for the win?
03:51I mean, if I would have the legs, definitely, I mean, yes, it's...
03:55You know, the thing is when you have it, you have to take it, so we will see definitely how the stage will go
04:01Taking off the foot from the accelerator and they're slowing down
04:06As this is, uh, this is gonna be probably the sprint that we see
04:10He's going very early
04:13And, uh, not with any great deal of conviction or confidence, I don't think
04:17But he's got on the slipstream of Epis
04:19But once again, I think the, uh, smaller Italian has got enough
04:23Just double checking through his legs there that Davido Brais isn't coming around him and, uh, he takes first place, so...
04:27Be in the mix. Oh, Olaf Koi, so we were wondering, it could have been a day for him
04:33He won't. No, it won't. This early on
04:36That much is clear
04:39And there's still, what, 50 meters to go at this point, or is it 100?
04:43150. 150, so a nasty little sting in the tail of this climb
04:48If you look at the camera or, uh, the placement of the barriers, you can
04:51See how steep it is this little
04:55Oh, Malese, Malese can't quite believe what faces him, but look at the crowds
05:00The whole town has come out and Malese is suffering here
05:04Surely he is ripe to be picked off by Davide Baiz
05:07If Baiz has got the legs to come round the man from Movistar, he should have this
05:12He'll be motivated to take these three points
05:14Is there going to be a sprint for the line here? Baiz can do nothing
05:18The gradient is an absolute killer here, Malese hangs on
05:22Gets to the top, takes the three points with Baiz on his wheel
05:25Wow, that steep
05:26There we go
05:46Switching round and Roglic safest place is out front and indeed best form of defense can sometimes be attack
05:52And he's going to go for it, Vacek is here, Simon Yates, likewise, just bouncing on his toes at the moment
05:58Caden Groves is staying with it and famous Roglic, is he going to light it up right now?
06:022.4, it's a long way out, he's keeping the hurt on everybody, Vacek's staying with him, so is Pedersen
06:08Simon Yates there in the yellow, uh, trying to stay with it, Ciccone is still here
06:12It might well be for Ciccone today, possibly a better pick for Lidl Trek in a trade kit
06:18Roglic just eases off, lets Vacek come through, likewise Pedersen, Ciccone is still there, Simon Yates hanging on as well
06:25Few others, Caden Groves looks like he might have dissipated at the moment, let's wait and see, still there, but here we go
06:31When's he going to go? That's the big question, Vacek's still grinding it home here, Brian, 2.1 to go
06:37Pedersen is drifting now, this is a little bit too hard there, nice acceleration there from Primus Roglic, but he just made that effort, dropped back
06:45But look at the pink jersey starting to lose, but Vacek, I don't know if he knows that Mads Pedersen is drifting now, but he's setting the
06:52pressure at the front of this peloton now, he looks back, can't see where the pink jersey is, I don't think he realises
06:59They're all trying to get in the mix, but Pedersen somehow has battled back, and he's got his lead out man
07:04right where he needs him again, Vacek once more, Pedersen on his wheel, this looks unstoppable,
07:09Can anybody prevent him? Well, Vacek goes long now, Vacek now releases Pedersen, tilt Tom
07:16Pidcock on the wheel off, the Magliorosa, but Pedersen powering to the line, can he hold them all off?
07:22Pedersen, Tom Pidcock coming very close now, Pidcock against Pedersen, but Pedersen, all that strength, my word,
07:30That was close, who's got there? They looked down, Pedersen might just have edged them all out, there was a challenge there from Bahrain
07:37Victorious too, that was perhaps too close to call. Oh, Zambanini, I think it was Zambanini, it was Eduardo Zambanini
07:44He was a very close call, it seems like from everybody was running to Pedersen, it seems like he got the win, but we have to wait the confirmation
07:50want to win one? sure, let me say
07:56hey, bring, bring, bring, bring something
08:02did I win or win?
08:05I won?
08:05do you want?
08:06Sure, yeah, let me say
08:08I'm sorry
08:08let me say yes, please
08:10ok, confirm I did
08:12Yes, confirm
08:13god, man
08:14god, god
08:15How are you?
08:16How are you?
08:17Tragam is celebrating
08:19He wouldn't have imagined he'd be in the lead still with three stage victories and a very good
08:27chance as we'll see in a minute of another stage victory tomorrow into Napoli. Yeah it's he has a
08:35stellar beginning of the Giro d'Italia and as you said tomorrow it's another day they can search
08:40him quite well. Better than today. Better than today exactly. If there is possibly some limit to
08:48what he can is able to do I think we should we have to wait stage eight to see that's better than
08:56off the back. Here we are some champagne time for him I think today seems like even more pleased than
09:08the other victories I think this one was it cost him a lot of sweat and power in order to keep in
09:15touch with the peloton. Just a small detail today as well he um won both the intermediate well he
09:21didn't win the intermediate sprints but he beat everybody else at the intermediate sprints
09:26and on the second of those sprints he had to actually he had to work really hard for it as
09:31well like up against Jensen Plowride. Yeah he's actually demolishing all the all the
09:36hopes and uh yeah of each rider because uh like while uh all the sprinters were getting dropped he
09:43was still in contention and uh finally and ultimately having another victory.
09:56Good to see Damiano Caruso probably probably in his last year of racing up in the top 10 at the Giro d'Italia
10:02and very really good to see Tom Pitcock getting involved getting into the thick of a bike race actually
10:07today for the first time reminding us of his talent with a third place at the Giro d'Italia his first ever
10:12podium finish but uh Maz Pedersen continues in pink and shores up his advantage a fourth day in pink
10:20for Maz Pedersen and don't forget how close he came to defending that pink jersey in the individual time
10:26trial just one second between him and Primoz Roglic on GC at the end of that day had that gone the other
10:31way he would have worn pink the whole way so far. Yeah he's bossing uh all the ceremony awards he's gonna
10:40come back even after the Malia Rosa for yet another jersey. Yep
10:48picks up another Wolfie which would probably get lined up on the dashboard of the uh team car
10:53in yeah oh yeah it's right next to us don't realize that
10:56this is the GC that looks a lot like it did uh this morning except for the fact that Maz Pedersen has
11:09added 10 seconds on everybody so Primoz Roglic now back down to 17 seconds
