00:01It's a lot of work and as Abraham said, since 2007 the team has been growing, they were on a mission.
00:07Yeah, there's a lot of emotions there going in the Norwegian squad.
00:12Very proud allies there from Toryshoft.
00:19You never know when you crash, it could be an easy crash or a big crash.
00:24Bogatian, the champion of the world.
00:29I completely opened my left arm, but it's just abrasions and I hit my hip and my shoulder a little bit.
00:38It was a little bit out of thing to put the chain on, so we did it for him.
00:45They're all here for one thing, to ride the Tour de France and we help them. That's our job.
00:55It's full gas to the finish and I'll do that as well.
01:00We also go all in today and try to survive the stage and if it turns out that I feel great, it's going to be a good day for me.
01:09I have good memories from the last climb, how to come.
01:13It's a special climb and hopefully today the legs are good.
01:19And yeah, we'll do absolutely everything we can to have a good result today.
01:24Otakam, the launch of the Pyrenees Trilogy, the final climb nearly 14k at 7.8%.
01:40Three years ago Vinagor won as Pogacar cracked, will it be a repeat or revenge on the cards?
01:45Lot of the day, keep a good overview guys in the beginning.
01:57Oh yeah, a big group of the Beaumont.
02:00Guys, this is such a big group but it will slow down because there will be lots of passengers.
02:09Current gap 35 seconds and we just keep chipping away with Casper together with UAE.
02:16Trying to cool down in 30 plus degree heat, yet after 50 kilometers a colossal breakaway group of 51 riders.
02:29Ineos with no fewer than five in the lead group, all riding in memory of their late sporting director, Nicola Portal.
02:36And their leader, Carlos Rodriguez, the best placed escapee, 12th overall and nearly six minutes from Ben Healy's yellow jersey.
02:438 minutes, 40 seconds in advance for the Coupe de Tête.
02:51Fan excitement may be contrasted with some trepidation from those on the road.
02:56The Col de Solor, the first mountain of this year's race.
03:00Around two minutes gap, could escapés make a move for stage success?
03:04Meanwhile, Visma setting the pace in the GC favourites group, it proved too hot to handle for some.
03:09The white jersey is cracking on this climb already. Remco, eh?
03:14Nepal is being dropped.
03:20Look at Axel Laurence, literally at a standstill. Oh, well stay on the road Axel, don't topple over.
03:25Michael Woods, the first to reach the summit. The Canadian with Max King of the Mountain points and moves second, five points behind Lenny Martinez.
03:41On the descent, Woods was joined by Scalamosa and Bruno Armeray.
03:46It was the Frenchman who elected to kick on as they started the Coupe de Bordeaux.
03:50But a long way to make a Tour de France dream come true.
03:53Armeray with two minutes to protect from the group containing Pogaccia and Venegor.
03:57A long descent before the hors category climb to Otacap.
04:00Otacap is coming back to the group of the favorites.
04:04The porter of the maillot blanc, Remco Evnepoel, comes back.
04:16Two minutes to advance for Armeray, on the group of the favorites.
04:19The group Scalamosa, Scorer Rubio.
04:2330.5 kilometers, 7.8%. We're on the first horse category climb of the Tour.
04:32The bull in difficulty, Everpool in difficulty.
04:35Everpool in difficulty.
04:37Adam Yates says, I can't.
04:39No, I can't.
04:40Shakes his head.
04:42Now Venegor starts the acceleration and really starts to ramp it.
04:47Oh, Venegor.
04:49Venegor cannot respond and Pogaccia attacks.
04:53Now the world champion puts in a hammer blow and Venegor cannot respond in any way.
05:01And Pogaccia has ripped away as though he has been fired out of a firework.
05:07Yeah, we know when Venegor looks behind, it looks always just a bad moment, but he's not totally exploded yet.
05:13You can catch him back, come on.
05:15The question is how much time can Pogaccia take by the top because he could be putting this Tour de France out of sight by the time he gets to the top of Altecam today.
05:26Pogaccia with a potentially defining Tour blow, the gap to Venegor growing 10 seconds every further kilometer the Slovenian climbed.
05:35We are 34, it's also a mental game, you do your thing.
05:4005, 1, 05, le retard de Venegor, maintenant 1, 05.
05:47Two Red Bull Borahansgora riders in the nearest chase.
05:52It was Lipovic rather than leader Roglic stretching his legs from the group.
05:55Time trial, Lipovic, time trial to the top, time trial to the top.
06:031, 40, 1, 40, le retard de Venegor represent 1, 40.
06:07A tornado has struck on Autocam, the defending champion destroys his rivals.
06:16Tade triumphs on Autocam, 20 stage wins in the Tour de France.
06:21And now we wait to find out what the time gaps are going to be.
06:26It has been a tough chase up this mountain.
06:30Once the world champion went, it was all about a matter of survival and holding your place in the Tour.
06:38Jonas Wengergaard has won on Autocam before.
06:42Today he has been beaten by the better man.
06:442 minutes and 11 seconds is the drop.
06:49Look at Lipovic as he comes up to the finish.
07:03Oh, it's too much flash.
07:06Fuck.
07:14Don't know how the body reacts after the crash.
07:23Really, I'm super happy to take time and to win on this climb.
07:31We had this stage in mind a long time and we did it.
07:36I think this stage can go today for Samuele.
07:44As statements go, this was huge.
07:58Pogacar banishing memories of cracking in 2022.
08:02Winnegore a distant second.
08:04Lipovic third.
08:05Pogacar storms back into the Maio-Jean.
08:11And how?
08:12A whopping 3 minutes 31 seconds on Winnegore.
08:16Milan remains in green, but Mathieu van der Poel, up to second, seems intent on chasing the Italian.
08:25Pogacar undoubtedly the king of the mountains.
08:29Martinez will regret not taking an earlier point in the day.
08:31And a tough one, but Remco stays in white.
08:36The four best in the top six overall, but only one man is the tour top dog.
08:40Top dog.
