00:00The voice of Seb Piquet, the voice of Radio Tour, we're not getting him in English at the moment on these days.

00:06We've got two riders immediately onto the attack, one of them being Mathieu van der Poel.

00:12176 riders at the race start. He's in full mode, isn't he?

00:17Look at the way he's riding already at the beginning of this stage.

00:21He's full out, trying to get as big a gap as possible.

00:25Crash at the back of the peloton, Uno X rider down.

00:33On an uphill section, one of the best climbers in the world, and some would have said, before this race started,

00:40one of the top three fastest climbers in the world, and the UAE team cars had to leave him.

00:45Yes.

00:45Get back, oh, another crash. The German champion is down.

00:52Left-hand side of the road.

00:55Nice. As well, he's dropped and he will stop, so he will retire from the race.

01:03Back through the cars.

01:05Look at, wow, van Aert, one of the classiest bike riders in the world with so much power.

01:11And look at van Aert here as he sprints flat out, desperately trying to get onto the string.

01:17Van Aert on his limit and cannot close the gap on his own.

01:21Surely there's a point now where he will be safe, and he'll just be able to ride in.

01:28I mean, even that, whoa, watch out, motorbike.

01:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:30That was close.

01:32That was very, very close.

01:3364 kilometres an hour. This race is firing. 34 seconds is the gap now to Mathieu van der Poel.

01:42160 kilometres in the lead now for these two riders.

01:52What an incredible day out.

01:55And still van der Poel looks and focuses and grimaces a little bit.

02:01Look at Alpecin de Koenig trying to completely disrupt what's going on.

02:06They come up to the front.

02:08Two of their riders right at the front trying to slow this down.

02:12What a job being done by Delia and Emil Verstringer.

02:16Come on, come on, come on.

02:17Here we are heading into Châteauroux, Cavendish City.

02:23He won his first ever stage here, and now Mathieu van der Poel goes.

02:28Jonas Rijkaardt, what a day.

02:31He deserves to be on the podium this afternoon.

02:34This ride, 168 kilometres with Mathieu van der Poel.

02:39Now van der Poel says, right, now's time to win the stage.

02:43Van der Poel goes clear, 6km to go.

02:463.2 kilometres to go, 14 seconds, 52 kilometres an hour.

02:52They take the right hand up.

02:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.

02:55And Alpes take the left.

02:57And everybody gets safely through just about.

02:59As Kofidis lead out of that turn, and the peloton are just behind.

03:04The rider who's lit up stage 9 of the Tour de France.

03:08He's been in the lead now for 172 kilometres.

03:12Van der Poel grimaces a little bit more.

03:15Can he find some more speed and try and win this stage?

03:19Yes, but the Groupama United are looking very good at the front of this peloton.

03:23Whoa, with one kilometre to go, Mathieu van der Poel is going to be caught.

03:29173 kilometres in the lead for Mathieu van der Poel.

03:33Big move there from Israel Primitech on the right-hand side.

03:36And here we are in the final kilometre now.

03:39Moving up, Danny van der Poel.

03:41Big acceleration by Tim Malia.

03:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

03:44Pocard almost hits the wheel and manages to right it.

03:48Big attack now on the right-hand side.

03:51As Israel Primitech go for this.

03:54They lead out Pascal Ackermann.

03:56Danny van der Poel goes for the line.

03:59Jonathan Milan now opens up the sprint.

04:01Tim Malia, the European champion.

04:03It's a drag race.

04:05Is Jonathan Milan going to take it?

04:07Tim Malia wins an incredible stage.

04:11Here's the sprint, Nico.

04:13What a messy sprint.

04:14Danny van der Poel going very early.

04:16But look at Tim Malia.

04:16There was a moment he wanted to go right.

04:17He sees the opportunity to go left.

04:19Fall into the wind.

04:20Gets around.

04:23Really close to...

04:27What a day.

04:29Mathieu van der Poel.

04:31How to light up the Tour de France.

04:36173 kilometres.

04:37But Sudar Quickstep said before the stage,

04:42this is a perfect finish for Tim Malia.

04:45The drag to the line.

04:48Milan just looks across.

04:50Can't believe it.

04:52He had no lead-out train, did he?

04:54They were all gone.

04:55They had to work all day.
