00:23Today was, yeah, I mean, uh, maybe my day to, to, uh,
00:29to take, uh, opportunity to win and tomorrow we, uh, we make sure that, uh,
00:34Isak fights for, uh, uh, for this beautiful white jersey and podium.
00:40Uh, crazy guy again, trying to be friendly with me and trying to support me.
00:46Yesterday we saw him, like, uh, doing what he can do and, yeah, a hard day in the mountains.
00:54Vemos que teníamos varios puntos y al final, pues, eh, bueno, ha sido como ha sido la carrera, no?
01:02Eh, sin más, muy contento por portar ahora este mayor.
01:05Tenemos una misión para París, así que, bueno, sin más.
01:13I'm proud of myself and my whole team today.
01:16We had, uh, we made a plan, a bit optimistic plan, but, uh, in the end it worked out.
01:22And, yeah, we will try again tomorrow and maybe we can seal it there.
01:26Uh, if not, it's gonna be, uh, still a good fight in Paris.
01:39The Alpes d'Huez again, this time via the Côte d'Israine side,
01:43only previously a descent on the tour.
01:45Before that, there's not one but two further or category climbs,
01:49the Croix de Fer and the Galibière, beyond the telegraph.
01:52A day for the survival of the fittest.
01:58The Hulkini, the strength to beat the whole route,
02:03It's about to move all the trucks,
02:16So, what are we doing?
02:23on the Carapaz.
02:53Carapaz solo over the top of the Croix de Ferre, 20 more points and closing in on the jersey
02:58while Pedersen's hard graph was going to be richly rewarded.
03:02This is the most important sprint he's put in in this green jersey campaign.
03:08Mads Pedersen has produced a scintillating ride today.
03:12He goes through and he takes the 25 points.
03:22Parapampera is cracking.
03:36Three kilometres from the summit of Galabier.
03:39There remain just four at the front.
03:41Hindley Kussarricatello coming back to Carapaz while Juan Ayuso had cracked.
03:46The same fate befell Groschapner coming to a near standstill.
03:51However, not standing still was his leader as Pogacar, the world champion, set a leg ruining pace.
04:02Carapaz is looking for the crest of the Col de Galibier.
04:06He is the king of the mountains.
04:30Cheering to Sören.
04:32And there was the VE know, the day being in 13kg, 40kg.
04:36But the circumstances are more likely to turn around here in the middle.
04:38In fine where, we can try to take Sacri-Chan Nikki and Milain for the seven feet now.
04:39The Springs Aunty Kodá, for VE know what he gets to do.
04:40Then 1972 ahead of粉 welding will announce thealer of Pogacar-Armids.
04:41four kilometers from the finish.
04:46Wanojuso is right on his limit this afternoon now.
04:50The attack of Sepp Kuss is the rider they tried to set up yesterday.
04:55It didn't pay off. Now he goes again.
05:03So Kuss is caught by Carapace and Hindley now.
05:06They go past and they start to up the tempo.
05:09And now they're dropping Sexas.
05:12He's starting to struggle to all that work at Decathlon.
05:15And Sexas now is on the limit.
05:18And Del Toro is proving who is the strongest rider
05:23in the Best Young Rider competition.
05:25Del Toro starts to move and Sexas doesn't have an answer.
05:30No, and Lenny Martinez is going to hang in there.
05:33This is Sepp Kuss.
05:35Kuss has attacked.
05:37Well, we haven't seen this attack.
05:39Sepp Kuss goes clear again.
05:41And Carapace hasn't given up.
05:42Still trying to come back.
05:45Kuss checking over his shoulder.
05:48Ecuadorian is coming across.
05:50And the cards are in favor of Sepp Kuss.
05:53He's coming across.
05:55He's coming across.
05:56Go, go, go.
05:59Richard Carapace has mopped up pretty much all the points on today's stage.
06:05He goes over the summit in the Polkadots and he is the winner of the King of the Mountains.
06:12He's coming across.
06:13Come on, Sepp.
06:13Come on.
06:14Now we go.
06:14And now we go.
06:16No way back anymore.
06:17There's no way back.
06:18Come on.
06:21About two minutes.
06:22Oh, crash.
06:23Oh.
06:24I think he's come down.
06:25Sepp Kuss.
06:27Kilometer.
06:27Kilometer.
06:28Kilometer.
06:28One to keep one point.
06:29Take the very slippery turn.
06:32Oh, and another crash.
06:35Sepp Kuss hits the deck again for the second time.
06:51Carapace is on a mission, but the yellow jersey group is also on a mission.
06:55Can Richard Carapace hold on to win this stage?
06:58Can Sepp Kuss come back?
07:00Or is it going to be drama and the group of the yellow jersey and the white jersey
07:04will be sprinting for victory?
07:08The action of the Ravenpul.
07:09The action of the Ravenpul.
07:10The action of the Ravenpul.
07:12Tadei Pogacca, who is dropping Del Toro.
07:16He's just almost holding himself back right now.
07:19He wants to bring Del Toro to the finish, but at the same time,
07:23Remko Evenepul's just riding away.
07:26A drama-filled stage.
07:30Carapace looks around now.
07:33He checks one more time.
07:35He sits up and he gets ready to celebrate.
07:40Polkadot power in Alpe d'Huez.
07:43Carapace wins his second stage.
07:51Cep Kuss gives everything he's got.
07:53Yes, Remko's just going to go around him for second.
07:56Remko Evenepul, second in the Tour de France, is going to sprint in here to the finish
08:01to take second on the stage and take back a little bit of time.
08:05That's academic, but this rider has shown that he is without doubt the second best rider in the Tour.
08:11Pogacca is the master.
08:14Tomorrow, he will ride into Paris as the winner of the Tour de France.
08:19They sit up and they celebrate.
08:22Del Toro will be third overall as Martinez closes in.
08:44Carapace is one of three Grand Tour champions in the lead group and the last man standing.
08:49The Ecuadorian Eagle has now won at least three stages on each of the biggest races in cycling,
08:54but all three Tour wins have come after turning 30.
09:00There was a moment where I didn't believe it.
09:03I've suffered, I don't know, the last four kilometers of the Alpe d'Huez has been...
09:09very hard.
09:13At the end it's been a dream tour, right?
09:25Carapace primed for the mountains, top three the last three days, twice on the podium's top step.
09:30Evenepoel came through for second, while Sepp Kuss paid for his crashes to come third.
09:36From winner to super domestic, Pogacca delivered Del Toro and a Team GC 1-3.
09:42Remco's second is best ever Tour result.
09:45A day of rubber stamping jerseys, Mads Pedersen no different.
09:49A swashbustling display ended Jasper Philipson's hopes of taking the fight to Paris.
09:55Carapace has done it before, but these polka dots no less sweet.
09:58Two King of the Mountains titles in the last three Tour editions.
10:03Del Toro ending home hopes of Texas in white and the GC podium from 24 seconds to over two minutes.
10:11The peloton battered and bruised after three weeks of battling,
10:14just one more stage left to set. We'll see you in balance.
10:32We'll see you in the next one.
10:34We'll see you in the next one.
