00:04Tim O'Leary, if I'm correct, a fifth stage win on the Tour de France, but today you really showed
00:10you were the boss.
00:14It didn't feel like this.
00:16We get set for the finish.
00:18Just before the corner, I was a bit boxed in, and then they almost crashed.
00:23I needed to fight for my position.
00:25Mathieu van der Poel ignites and goes forward, and Jasper Philipsen is on the wheel.
00:32I thought it was over, so I gave it a try to come back on the guys who did the
00:37reload.
00:38Come on, Timmy, come on!
00:40Come on, come on, come on!
00:42Yeah!
00:42Come on!
00:43Yeah!
00:44Come on!
00:44Come on!
00:47Come on!
00:49Yeah!
00:51Yeah!
00:51Yeah!
00:52Yeah!
00:57Mathieu van der Poel, an amazing lead-out, but when he swung off, Philipsen had nowhere to go.
01:02Like you say, the lead-out was good, and Jasper could not finish it off once again, just like yesterday.
01:09He was motivated the last two days to bring Jasper in a very good position.
01:15But the team was there, Jasper was for 92% there.
01:21Mathieu van der Poel, his third stage winner in the Tour!
01:25The start of the Tour was not great for our team, but I think, like always, we stayed calm.
01:31We have a really nice group here, and we kept believing that they will turn around.
01:35The Van der Poel Festival starts today, there will be more episodes on the Tour de France.
01:40Maybe it's a one-day festival, but at least it was a nice one.
01:45Can Merlier make it number three?
01:48Very possibly.
01:49What do you think?
01:50I have him as my favourite, so I do think so.
01:53I hope so.
01:54Let's hope.
01:55Let's see what happens.
02:04A flat day means attention reverts back to the sprinters.
02:07Two climbs, both though, just category fours.
02:10The wind and rain could add a layer of intrigue, but expect the fast men to be fighting it out
02:14for stage honours.
02:22The road is still wet there, so just caution, caution with the wet roads.
02:28Stay out of trouble, no silly crashes, no risk.
02:36That's a good little group of riders there.
02:38It is, isn't it?
02:39It's Charmik, you're on a stage of the Tour of Verne Road now.
02:4210 seconds before, for the quarter of the test, 10 seconds.
02:47I think he stopped to take a bit of air out.
02:50He must feel that he was slightly over pumped.
02:52That's why he was playing around with the valve.
02:55Four brave riders broke clear.
02:57Nelson Oliveira on his tenth Grand Boucle.
02:59Julien Alaphilippe riding his ninth home Grand Tour.
03:02The duo joined by Anton Charmik and Mathis Lubert.
03:05The roads were somewhat slippy as the race arrived at the day's intermediate sprint.
03:09An early duel for green jersey hopefuls.
03:14Now they go for the finish.
03:16And it's going to be Jasper Philipsen who's going to take the maximum points.
03:19The 10 points to Cantor, to Pedersen, Germay and Quinn-Simmons.
03:26Yes, Mathis, it's going to be a good day.
03:29However, I know you're a general driver in the car, so we don't do too much.
03:32You're with two good riders too.
03:35Whether it's Charmik and Oliveira, they're good riders.
03:38You have to take advantage of them.
03:42Let's go.
03:42The tempo remained intense the first two hours at around 52 km an hour.
03:47The escapee is never more than a minute 40 ahead.
03:50Cantor's Astana and Merleur Sudar keeping them on a short leash.
03:53Despite the pelotons stretching out at times, no crosswinds meant no damage done.
04:05He's gone, not good news, suddenly the legs have gone.
04:15The race had earlier past the halfway point of this edition.
04:19On the road, Charmig awarded the combativity prize.
04:21But as the gap dropped below a minute, how long could the brake hold out?
04:35What a job these three riders have done, they were with Julien Alaphilippe.
04:43Still they hang on.
04:45Olivera, a stunning time trialist in his career.
04:48Trying now to just hold on for as long as possible.
04:52They don't believe that they will get completely caught.
04:56They're going to try everything they can to stay away.
05:02The race is all together, guys. The race is all together now.
05:11It's going to be hard for him.
05:13Oops, sorry.
05:15But Pedder says sorry.
05:19Pedersen gets ready.
05:21Benut goes with Olav Koi.
05:232k to go.
05:25Now an acceleration of NSN on the other side of the road.
05:28As they try to take control.
05:31Alps and Premier Tech have got Mathieu van der Poel leading out.
05:35Jasper Philipsen on that right-hand side as we look.
05:39Big move now.
05:40Still of NSN as they close it off on that right-hand turn.
05:471km, the first straight straight drive of 1k turns.
05:50Here, take your confidence.
05:51It's the distance, let's go!
05:55The right-hand side is going to be the quicker line.
05:58But most likely the line where the riders are going to get boxed in.
06:01Big acceleration, Beryl 7x.
06:04Big move now of Uno X.
06:06It's getting very chaotic there in the middle.
06:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:09Pedersen is a bit further back.
06:11Abrahamsen is trying to lead out for Uno X mobility.
06:15The move now of Mathieu van der Poel
06:17with Jasper Philipsen on the left-hand side.
06:19A look at Gaviria.
06:20Gaviria's freelancing.
06:22They swing across the road.
06:24Van der Poel getting set.
06:25What a mess this is right now.
06:27500 metres to go.
06:29This is the sprint.
06:30And it's a big acceleration of Case Boll
06:33to try and put Decathlon into the position.
06:36Soren Varenskold comes across
06:38and goes for the finish line.
06:41Big move now as Soren Varenskold
06:43goes for the finish line for Uno X mobility.
06:46Philipsen hunting him down.
06:48Our Uno X mobility going to get a stage victory
06:50in the middle.
06:52Uno X mobility.
06:54Soren Varenskold wins the stage.
07:12Coming off his bike yesterday,
07:14feeling terrible this morning.
07:15What a difference a sprint makes.
07:17The Norwegians successfully calling
07:18the big-name sprinter's bluff
07:20and the 26-year-old won big.
07:25When I came here,
07:26I knew that there are two, three guys
07:28that are faster than me.
07:29But if I'm lucky
07:30and I have a good sprint,
07:32like today,
07:33then it's possible.
07:36I was just waiting for the same thing
07:37to happen like when Malia passed me
07:39the last time,
07:40but luckily it didn't happen this time.
07:44It's my biggest win so far
07:46and it's a real,
07:48it's unbelievable.
07:59The biggest win of Warenskold's career,
08:02the Uno X's second tour stage success
08:04after Abramsen last year.
08:07Khoi and Philipsen running out of road
08:09to catch the Norwegian.
08:15Pogacar able to relax at yellow
08:16and will do so again tomorrow,
08:18a massive 3 minutes 36 still in hand.
08:23Pogacar keeping himself out in front
08:25in the fight for green,
08:26the dame the only one
08:27to break the 300 point mark.
08:32As you were in the King of the Mountain category
08:34with Pogacar in command,
08:36Vinagor to continue wearing polka dots
08:37giving his rivals golden GC lead.
08:41Ayuso will remain in white
08:43for another day at the very least.
08:44Two jerseys for Lidl Trek
08:46in what's been a strong team showing.
08:49Malia went back to back,
08:51Bounshaul targeting a sprint double tomorrow.
08:539-9-!'
08:579-9-!'
