00:00.
00:19The brazen!
00:21The brazen!
00:24It's the factor!
00:25There's people who're taking the money.
00:28There's people who don't make them!
00:30Thank you!
00:32The chicots are dry.
00:34It's okay, I'm going to go to the bar.
00:36I'm going to go to the bar.
00:38I'm not going to go to the bar.
00:40We're going to go to the Wifi!
00:43To know the strategy
00:45and to put Elin attack and Alicia attack everywhere!
00:49Hello my friends!
00:50Hello my friend!
00:52Yes!
01:00The chase-dough works!
01:02I'm going to be happy to know it!
01:04The chase-dough works!
01:10You could have a discreed in the back.
01:12You can go to the back.
01:14I'm going to go to the back.
01:16I fell here in the 40 km in the middle of the street.
01:20You're at 50 km per hour.
01:22It's not crazy, but I'm going to go back and finish the stage.
01:24I think it's a good satisfaction.
01:30I'm going to remind you of the day.
01:32The first point is really important.
01:3320 km.
01:34We think there will be a good exit at this point.
01:36The goal of the day is to be in this race.
01:39You have to believe it.
01:41You have to be invested, like the previous days.
01:43I'm counting on you.
01:45It starts at 14 hours.
01:53Hopefully, it could be a day for the breakaway.
01:56I think with how it's been race the last few days, you really don't know.
02:00Today is like the first selective stage, with lots of climbing towards the end of the stage.
02:06I'm definitely curious to see how everything will pan out.
02:09I know that I don't have my legs to follow the best in the mountain,
02:12so I try to make fun and try to anticipate.
02:14For the moment, it doesn't smile at all, but I hope it will smile at the end.
02:18A short but savage day in the massive centrale.
02:28Time to test the legs on day six.
02:31Unlikely GC defining, but don't be left behind.
02:34Leaving Clermont, there was a line out of riders wanting to escape.
02:39Here they are, 12 riders in the breakaway.
02:44Queen of the Mountain rivals Elise Shabby and Silke Schmulders placed in the front group
02:49on the hunt for points.
02:50AG Insurance on high alert in service of the yellow jersey.
02:54And this is the first big test of riders.
03:01We will find out who's got the climbing legs, who hasn't got the climbing legs.
03:06Not Lorena Weebis' wheelhouse, but safe in green is vos struggled too,
03:10and there was plenty of suffering.
03:12Two riders starting to feel the pressure.
03:15The Queen of the Mountain's leader had already picked up five points on the road,
03:19but she wanted more at the first category one climb of this edition.
03:24Here we go.
03:25And here's Shabby now.
03:27She decides to turn the pressure on the Polkadot jersey.
03:31Marianne Vos has won the first stage.
03:34She's now being distanced.
03:36She'll go back to the Groupetto.
03:38She'll ride her way in.
03:40The peloton is closing in extremely fast.
03:44We're almost at the top of the Col de Biale.
03:47Here we go now.
03:49Silke Schmulders kicked hard, and Shabby tries to go after her.
03:52It looked like Shabby may well have been the first rider across the top.
03:58The Super-Swiss certainly was, and her supreme effort confirmed she'd hold on to the Polkadot jersey.
04:03Shabby and Leanne Lippet used the descent to kick on, following their lead a couple from the peloton.
04:09Oops.
04:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:14Oh my goodness.
04:15This is Cedrine Cabal.
04:17She does not worry about going through corners, does she?
04:21She's one of the most exceptional descenders.
04:23Coming after her now looks like Kashia Niwia Doma.
04:27So two of the fastest descenders in women's cycling are now flat out on this descent down to the base of this climb.
04:35Now hold on to your hats because this is going to be something special.
04:40In the end, the duo's daring dive, negated as the peloton was made whole on this fourth and final climb.
04:48Shabby and Co reeled in, hard work done by the lieutenants, with pats on the back.
04:53But three kilometres from the summit, twist or stick, someone felt they had a strong hand.
04:58Squibbin goes on the attack again for UAE Team ADQ.
05:02This rider on the climbs is impressive.
05:04UAE Team ADQ left with just four riders in the race, but first Chapman early on.
05:11Now is the home rider activated.
05:13Skibbin soaring solo over the summit.
05:16The 23-year-old pushing to upgrade her second place from last year's Stage 7.
05:21Shabby picked up a further three Queen of the Mountain points at the peloton's head.
05:26The GC contenders, though, turned their immediate attentions to the upcoming bonus sprint.
05:31Maiva Squibbin, Destination Omber, Destination a stage win if she can hold on.
05:46LeCourt moves early, goes on the tops and squeezes Vollering out the way.
05:52Kashi Niwi Adoma goes for it now.
05:55So it's going to be Kim LeCourt who takes it and Niwi Adoma takes second place.
06:01Here goes Juliette Labouse again to the front to try and get some sort of cohesion in this group.
06:12And now she goes clear.
06:14A French fight for the win, but Skibbin was not in the mood to be denied.
06:21One of the most audacious rides we've seen in the Tour de France Van Mavic Zwift.
06:31She turns the corner, the gantry is there.
06:34Look at the theatre that welcomes this young French rider into Omber.
06:39She takes the adulation of this Omber crowd.
06:43And she's asking the crowd, just give me a little bit more noise.
06:48And is that at all possible?
06:50She's about to celebrate.
06:52Magnificent!
06:55Now going into the finish, Juliette Labouse.
06:58There's still going to be some time bonuses on offer and they're going to fight for them.
07:02She started the day 13th at 1.37.
07:05She's going to close six seconds and a little bit more.
07:10Labouse finishes second and diving through the middle, Kim LeCourt takes some more bonus seconds.
07:17It's incredible.
07:32I hope to jump in a small group with a bonus sprint.
07:36In the end, I was really excited to watch my watts from time to time and time.
07:40But I thought I didn't want to watch them.
07:42I thought I was bugged at the beginning because I was good.
07:45And then I had my father and my entire trainer at about 12km from the end.
07:50And I thought I was going to go to the end, so I have to go to the end.
07:54And that's it.
07:55I don't even know what to say.
07:57It's Maëva Skibon!
08:03Ascenta Lake takes solo ride for her biggest career victory.
08:06Labouse holding on to make it a Le Bleu 1-2.
08:09LeCourt leading in the peloton.
08:12The Mauritian therefore remains in yellow and even extended her advantage.
08:16Eight bonus seconds crucial to moving 26 clear of Ferrand-Prévot.
08:21And the last two tour champions only a further four and five seconds adrift.
08:28Neither green jersey candidates pocketed anything on the day.
08:31Ribas therefore retains her 30-point lead over Vos.
08:42Xabi knew today was important and the Swiss delivered.
08:46A 12-point advantage built over Schmolders across the massive centrale.
08:50She may have lost over six minutes in the GC but Jeune Begaud stayed in white.
08:59The Cofidis riders 22-second lead intact.
09:08More excitement ahead as we come into the weekend action.
09:12And will the GC finally light up?
