00:00Sean Quinn, having had a season marred by injury and illness, he's looking comfortable, he's able to match Verde, pedal stroke for pedal stroke.
00:12Verde is in a good position, he's in prime position, he crests the top of Isilio, the second categorised climb, he takes the five points, he's worked hard for that.
00:21He's got that intermediate sprint point in front of him, even Jonas Vingegor is challenging for some points there in the red jersey.
00:31Matt Pedersen picking up the remaining bonus seconds, the two bonus seconds, but look, that was a challenge between Giulio Ciccone and Jonas Vingegor.
00:38Don't forget, Giulio Ciccone came into the day second overall at four seconds, and so Vingegor sense that Ciccone was wanting perhaps some of those bonus seconds.
00:49It all happened very, very quickly, you can see the former Colombian road race champion Esteban Chavez, not happy there at all.
00:58Let's take a little look, he's got a rear wheel puncture, you can see that the...
01:07Clearly got an issue, pulls to the right-hand side, he's wanting Shimano neutral service, they do eventually stop there.
01:14A little bit too far.
01:15So he would have jumped on everyone. Once you're in the final sprint, you give it everything until you get to the finish line.
01:20Fortunately, we're one rider down, a crash on the left side.
01:25Crash on the left side by one of the riders from EF Education, Easy Post, but also one of the riders from XDS Astana,
01:32and that's Harold Martin Lopez, inside 20 kilometers to go. Sean Quinn, who's had two professional victories in his career,
01:39will feel that the peloton is bearing down on him.
01:44Little track still got the command in that red, blue and yellow jersey as the road splits.
01:49Oh, a bit of a jump there of one of the riders of Team Visma Lisebike.
01:58Wilco Kelderman says goodbye, his job is done for the day for Visma Lisebike.
02:01Also at the back here is Jonas Gregar. Also now being distanced is Joan Baal, the rider from Valencia.
02:10At the back of the group, number 156, Chris Harper of Jayco Alula, as his teammates start to move forward on the far right-hand side.
02:17One of those is Ben O'Connor. Moving down through the centre is Juan Ayuso in that white jersey.
02:22Oh, Ben Turner of the Ineos Grenadiers. It's early, one kilometer to go, they see the Flamme Rouge and they go under that banner,
02:301,000 meters remain. It's a real drag race between Ben Turner and Andrea Baggioli.
02:38They take the sweeping right-hand corner, it's Little track who win the battle for the sweeping right-hand turn.
02:43Ben Turner pulls the pin, other riders being distanced, Alex Sagard, also Andrea, Pierre-Andre Cote,
02:50also distanced there, James Shaw, as Ben Chulik now grits his teeth and starts to wind things up.
02:57Jonas Villanagor is still there and Little track currently have the commanding position at the front floor, Mads Pedersen.
03:04Look at how it's all strung out into the next sweeping hairpin. Baggioli almost runs it wide.
03:10Luis Aola is trying to get on top of the gear. He gets himself onto the wheel of the former world champion, Mads Pedersen.
03:16Julio Ciccone taking charge now and we saw how strong he was yesterday. He's really, really stretching this out.
03:23We even have riders that have to go out there. We've got Orlyard still there. We also have the sprinter Jonas Vingegaard in the front.
03:31Now we've got Juiz at the back here for Group Armour, FDJ, trying to close the gap.
03:36Santiago Boutrago, the Colombian rider for Bahrain Victorious. Look at this from Mads Pedersen.
03:42He's in the commanding position. He's going to take this final sweeping right-hand corner in pole position.
03:47He's being challenged by David Godiu. David Godiu gets the better of him. He's got the acceleration.
03:52David Godiu is going to come through. And David Godiu, the Frenchman, is the stage winner in Chérez.
03:58My word. David Godiu, who's in third position. Look at the way he takes this line.
04:04He takes the line so incredibly well. He comes underneath Jonas Vingegaard, has the inside line also coming up next to her, even just in front of Mads Pedersen.
04:14Mads obviously did the sprint all out into that turn, thinking that if I go through that turn first, I will take the victory.
04:20No one will be able to come around me.
04:22And Julio Ciccone, who has done the job already before, just still jumps on the wheel and tries to sit there.
04:27We see Egan Bernal just behind there. But Godiu with his arms in the air.
04:32And what a victory for the man who has been trying to get back to his level, to that high level he had a few years ago.
04:39It's taking him a long time, but he is here now. And he made it. And unbelievable. What a victory.
