00:30We have a few riders that we've seen in the sprints before
00:34All eyes will be on the man in green
00:41That was the safety zone, final 3km
00:43As John explained, if you are a rider who wants a good position in GC
00:47You have to make it to that 3km line in one piece
00:51And then you will get the same time as the first group
00:53Short summary of today's stage with 4.4km to go
00:58Fast is the shortest summary
01:01We are on our way to the fastest stage in the history of the UE Tour
01:06Ended up with a breakaway of 5 with Mikutis, Thornley, Hole
01:09And Milezy initially also with American rider Esra Cardell
01:14Maximum lead in 1.30
01:16And the peloton at full speed right now
01:19To catch them just before the sprint starts
01:25This is the moment, John, that the sprint trains are starting to get into formation
01:30On these really, really wide roads
01:31What are the words that the sports director will be screaming in their ears at the moment?
01:36Or are they quiet?
01:39It's always a difference
01:40You just try and remind the riders where they are
01:43And what the key points are
01:45There's so much noise in that peloton
01:47If I'm really honest
01:49When I was a rider
01:50You heard hardly anything from the team car at that point
01:53You try and listen for your teammates
01:55The shouts behind
01:56And they're only simple communications
01:59You can't have a conversation now
02:01So simply it's left, right, go, slow down
02:05We're all here, all good
02:07That is kind of it
02:09And that's all you can communicate
02:11But unfortunately, most of the time
02:14The rivals, the other riders
02:17The other sprint rivals
02:18The other teams are saying the same thing
02:20So it's all about being organised
02:22Sticking to the plan
02:24Going as a unit
02:25And that's exactly what we get to see nowadays
02:27All those teams all together
02:31Swing to the left
02:32But there's a little pinch point
02:33Coming from the left-hand side
02:34So this is
02:35So much movement at the moment
02:37In this peloton
02:39This is a headwind as well
02:41So it's, again
02:42Can't stress enough
02:43It's all about the timing

05:02The road starts to get a little bit to the right
05:05We don't have a straight line finish
05:07Let's get to the sprinting

06:04Controlled things
06:05They put riders there
06:07And that lead out
06:08Was key actually
06:10They were through the Flamme Rouge
06:12With three riders still in front of Jonathan Milan
06:15They had to use riders up in that headwind though
06:18He was left on his own
06:19He had to surf a little bit
06:21In the final 400 metres
06:23But thumbs up
06:24Three fingers
06:25Three wins
06:26And
06:28Jonathan Milan
