00:00Okay guys, switch off the tone. Keep the colour bars online.
00:05All camera operators, be ready.
00:08Put camera one on live.
00:11Run the countdown.
00:14Again.
00:19Camera five and seven, don't lose him.
00:23Stay focused, guys.
00:28Go back and roll on.
00:37What happened? What's he doing?
00:50We're in store for one of the biggest climbing tests of this tour so far
00:54with no fewer than three Category 1 summits.
00:56After a quiet few days, the GC riders back into the spotlight.
01:05Guys, just out of nothing.
01:08Kilometre 15, full on rain.
01:12Look at the rain now. Falling here at kilometre zero.
01:21After the downpour, things dried up en route to the first battle of the day at the intermediate sprint.
01:26The top three separated by just 44 points.
01:29Pedersen keeping his eye on his rivals, but while he limited the damage,
01:33a sign of strength from Alperson's speedster.
01:37Philipsen is the rider who takes the maximum points again in the intermediate sprint.
01:43The riders reached the foot of the Grand Ballon and a long 21-kilometre drag.
01:48Driven on by Ben Healy, a big group soon broke clear of the peloton.
01:54In the end, 26 were able to bridge the gap for a sizable breakaway.
02:03UAE let it go but remained vigilant given Pipcock, Bernal, Johannesson and Richard Carapaz
02:08were among top 20 riders at the break.
02:10In the middle of the Grand Ballon and Richard Carapaz
02:13Towards the summer, EF Education took advantage of their numbers.
02:17Healy, Carapaz and Beaudin
02:19kicking on with vital King of the Mountain points up for grabs.
02:23Paripant has also 18 points he's got at the moment.
02:28Valentin Paripant dives away to try and outwitch Richard Carapaz.
02:32It's going to be Valentin Paripant from Richard Carapaz.
02:38The Col de Passe descent saw a group of six leading,
02:41Movistar's Rubio joining Paripant and EF duo, Carapaz and Healy,
02:46as well as UNO-X's brothers Tobias and Anders,
02:48two thirds of Johannesson triplets.
02:53So heavy rain in the descent, heavy rain in the descent.
02:57Keep your focus there.
03:01After yesterday's visit, a return to the Ballon d'Alsace
03:0470 kilometres from the finish.
03:06The leading group holding around two minutes on Pickcock's group.
03:09The chasers in the scope of the Peloton though, but making progress.
03:14But it was short-lived as the counter-attack group
03:16failed to keep themselves out of the Peloton's reach and reeled back in.
03:20Meanwhile, Valentin Paripant targeted as many points as he could,
03:24with the Frenchman into the virtual polka dots.
03:27And the last ten years, we need to get the horse.
03:27The blue-professional is the travelling,
03:30the car's completely over and over.
03:35There's the profile, there's your vital statistics on the left-hand side.
03:40Now it's the bike path that these riders will take.
03:43And the bikepacks will start just there after the little grey sign on the map, on the profile.
03:51Mateo Torghesson, distance. Carlos Ferrola, distance.
03:59Valentin Barry Brandt can't go with it either, so Johanesson and Katapaz now go forward.
04:05Stop it. Stop it. Stop it, distance.
04:07Let's see.
04:13Tobias Johanesson, after all the work done, cannot respond to Katapaz's strike.
04:19Pogaccio looks over his shoulder to see what the scenario is behind it.
04:24Renfengaard, Pogaccio, Lipovic and Sexas are left.
04:28Remco Evenepul is really drifting back now, but he's still going to...
04:32Hello, Johanesson, Katapaz, go free.
04:35Let's go Evenepul for the attack.
04:40Okay, this is... Whoa, get out of the way. Acceleration there by Tyler Pogaccio.
04:44Here's another attack. The tornado strikes and immediately Vengagard cannot respond to the power of Pogaccio.
04:53And now Sexas goes.
04:55Yeah, Sexas coming very strong there on the wheel of Inegard.
05:00Over the top of the climb, the gap is going to be 22 seconds.
05:04Yep, Del Toro's closing the gap now to these two.
05:0925 seconds for Pogaccio on Vengagard. 25 seconds for Pogaccio.
05:16And these three riders, they're fighting now for this... to save this podium or to considerate their top five.
05:23Now he'll start to celebrate as he checks yet again. The power of Pogaccio proves to be too much. It's
05:32today's 25th stage of the Tour de France.
05:39Del Toro looking for second place for UAE, which will start to give them the team competition as well.
05:47Sexas is going to be third on this stage unless he can get past Del Toro.
05:52Sexas does not want to be beaten by the Mexican.
05:54But Del Toro, with those eyes focused on the finish line, he's going to give UAE a 1-2 on
06:01the day.
06:02Sexas is third.
06:04Vengagard in fourth.
06:06And Remco now battling for his third place overall as he crosses the line behind Vengagard, ahead of Ayuso and
06:14Lipovic.
06:33Once again unstoppable, redefining Tour dominance. But despite all the glory, the world champion effusive in his praise for the
06:41fans and the peloton.
06:45It was really something unforgettable, I think, to see all the crowds on the hills.
06:51Yeah, it just gives you an additional boost to go to the top.
06:57All the riders, we have such a massive respect towards each other and I think we all put on a
07:03great show and it's nice to see this kind of racing.
07:17Numbers that define brilliance, a fourth win this Tour. Overall now equal to French great Andre Le Duc, 10 shy,
07:24Cavs 35.
07:25Del Toro for a UAE 1-2 and Sexas beating Vengagard to the podium.
07:31A 125th career win further strengthens an already iron grip on the leader's jersey.
07:36Vengagard more worried about what's behind him with three riders within a minute.
07:40The battle for points intensifying but Pedersen keeps it green.
07:43Philipsen nibbling the Danes lead down to 36 points.
07:48Lost momentarily but Pocaccia's sensational solo brought back the polka dots.
07:52Vantan Paris 5th and Carapaz now in contention.
07:57French darling Paul Sexas' first Tour jersey.
08:00The best young rider fourth overall, a GC top three now in sight.
08:04An electric performance to go hand in hand with an electrifying crowd.
08:11We care.
08:22We Jesús.
08:22Mine am so wrong.
08:25We 경�, we yell at Philipsen estar over 42.
08:25You
