00:02the nasty flat section it unwinds very quickly it's about 1800 meters but they'll see him they'll
00:08see him on this on this road and they'll know what they've got to do what he's got to do
00:13is
00:13just keep going a little bit of a trackies look underneath his legs at the moment just looking at
00:18his kits the rider himself will be very will be thinking about everything on this moment it's
00:25life flashing before your eyes moment this is pushing out to 23 seconds baray is there and
00:36there is a team time trial on his case albeit with some uh some passengers who are of course his
00:43teammates including lemon the race leader he's also got the gift of having a team in heart great
00:50time trials is part of this and i've got to tell you as well um so i beg your pardon
00:56uh yeah yeah
00:57crud and uh and wilto kelderman the uh netherlands champion there he is uh astra can't yet release
01:03bettiel and they've tried to get him into a decent position but even the explosivity of the great
01:10man is not going to work for him they've got scurroni of course and uh olissi in the game but
01:14this man is playing it he looks like it may hold all the cards it's 20 seconds going to be
01:19enough
01:193.9 kilometers he starts the final climb the uh inflatables are here for him but right now he's
01:25going to be his chest will be puffed up by the end if he manages to deliver it can he
01:30get there brian
01:31well he's still got a good chance here 21 seconds it's only at least it really depends on you know
01:36who attacks this plane this is not a claim as such it does rise up it's more of a kind
01:42of drag all the
01:43way up to the uh the finishing line the middle of this uh final 3.6 kilometers is possibly the
01:49hardest but if everybody just sits back and this is the case then louis barry takes it takes the
01:55victory the riders know that as soon as they go lazy he's not closing the gap and in fact the
02:02gap
02:02opening ever so slightly it's just about time now the the riders are set up behind have to attack
02:09this final climb and it might be a case of what we've already seen carlton where they they just
02:13um neutralize each other you know if the attack goes and they don't want to take anybody
02:18and i think yeah wilco kelderman and um the uh race leader um lemon will play a major part in
02:28this
02:28final climb of a snaffling out anybody trying to get across 25 seconds it's starting to be uh believable
02:35now i think it is as well 25 when he said 30 at the bottom but he's into it so
02:422.9 kilometers to go
02:45it's getting to him and then having the beat him on him when you meet him and here it is
02:503k marker
02:51so the uh the graphics just slightly out or maybe even the marker who knows 7 slope not that bad
02:58brian
02:58and it actually does ease a little bit before it kicks again to the line and i think he's got
03:03this
03:06yeah looking good um he's given absolutely everything he's not going to hold back at all
03:10now it's about on this kind of harder part here so elisi is not bringing this back on his own
03:18so it's
03:19just about timing now 24 seconds they have to start to you know attacking the the group now and
03:26trying to close this gap because the gap isn't slowing as well like you say this is a quite a
03:32difficult part just level out a lower bit and then kicks up towards the line again so
03:37looking good for uh louis barry's eking out another couple of seconds there 27 seconds hanging on out
03:42the saddle pushing the power down it's looking uh a lot better now i've got to tell you as well
03:49he's uh
03:49six seconds in the race lead as it stands right now um as soon as that hits 30 seconds with
03:542.6 to go
03:55and it does this is that tipping zone where i think a chance of anyone coming back at him
04:01are pretty slim they'd have to be attacking now brian and they're not yeah yeah they're not that
04:06at least he's not going to bring it back if he goes into the last kilometer um with 32 seconds
04:12it's
04:12it's job done this is um really helping at least it now decides he's actually losing time then closing
04:19it down and look no one's attacking no one's going for it whether they're at the limit is very
04:24difficult to see but they're running out of rods and uh skaroni looks at they go lacing goes right
04:29what do i do i said you have to go if you want to win the race you have to
04:33go now go and he can't
04:36it's been such a tough day and it's been made tough as well by visma lisa biker still in charge
04:41and here we go doggedly chasing everything down lemon himself is uh is on duty this is fantastic
04:47finn fisher black there in wheel two just behind andy cron is one up here in the past
04:52finn fisher black picks it up 37 seconds though and he's got a lead weight of bart lemon is going
04:58to get a free ride all the way home lemon himself it could be one and two at uh the
05:02end of today
05:03bart lemon absolutely there within this quartet which i believe is marco brenner as well who had
05:09such a good strong finish yesterday is it better all that pixie up and has to and tries to get
05:13into
05:13this uh into this gang as well but 35 seconds they're fighting each other not bar a at the moment
05:19yeah they're not they're not prepared to help and like i said the lemon and the kelderman are
05:24are doing a terrific job they'll just um go with the moves try and put you know anybody off from
05:30uh
05:30from going on the attack where this man is still holding on to and actually increasing his gap to 35
05:35now so two kilometers to go the attacks have started so they don't want to help each other and um
05:41looking like a nice victory here for uh louis barry louis barry looks absolutely magnificent
05:49two k's to go 36 seconds he might actually win by well he will be winning by more than that
05:56if he takes
05:56uh the the line because there's 10 6 to 4 bonus seconds as they stop and the chase has stopped
06:02as
06:02well it has run out of puff brian with 1800 meters to go barry is going to have some joy
06:08at the end of
06:09today and visma lisa bike have played an absolute tactical blinder haven't they today yeah they have
06:15um best events the best defenses attack and you know that's what they've done they've they've
06:21attacked today they've attacked the climbs and then sent a rider in front so yeah looking looking
06:27rather good for them and legness undecides to go but kelderman just goes straight onto the wheel and
06:33yeah just these guys are are racing for second place here they are um lecson kicks again kelderman
06:41stays with it fin fisher black is part of that trio lemon tries to get over uh as you can
06:47see betty all
06:48and scurroni um also playing the game here for us and i'm just closing this one down but they're
06:54self-neutralizing at the moment and um of course the the missing cog within any push is being served
07:00up by visma lisa bike who indeed is making sure that the drive doesn't get there meanwhile their
07:07teammate is heading for the lead of this race brian with a time trial to come tomorrow and louis barry
07:13chapeau to him and indeed the team they have been exceptional he's not a noted time trialist so this
07:19was indeed his big moment and it looks like he's taking it yeah unknown in the time trial um you
07:26know wearing that yellow jersey um may may work wonders for him so inside the last kilometer he's
07:33going to win he's going to take the 10 seconds as well what will his margin be at the finish
07:38he wants
07:38to gain as much time as possible you can see that he'll go all the way to the line because
07:42he knows
07:42the time trial is coming betty all and call you can see matt lemon closing this one down so yeah
07:48they're all negating each other and the fact that lemon and dick helderman are here that's just
07:53you know sheer um willpower to stop any attacks from um going across to this man here but it's not
07:59going to be possible with 700 meters to go no but uh it might be that lemon stays in the
08:05leader's jersey
08:06but by uh by doing the marking out that he's doing at the moment it's uh it's tumbled down to
08:11a 22
08:12second margin betty all those uh full tt mode as you can see others are coming to join the party
08:19but there's only 500 meters remaining for barry to get home and make it his own absolutely fantastic
08:25days racing a brilliant strategy i've got to say by pisma lisa bike and as we look at the chase
08:31really we should be heads up for the man who had his head exactly nailed on where he needed to
08:37be
08:37and here he is louis barry's in the uh in the haunted zone 300 meters and all the dreams of
08:43those behind
08:44him are going to come to naught he has to go for it again out of the saddle back into
08:48it like a jack in
08:49the box but louis barry is going to bring home a fantastic victory today just this left-hander to take
08:55to bring himself to the line as the battle for other places including marco brenner's really lit
09:00up yet again he's digging into this gap you'll see brenner appear around the uh the corner after this
09:06man everybody is after this man and then metaphorically they have been after him as well but he gets there
09:12absolutely superb wonderful stuff louis barry and the clock ticks and it's for everybody else to think
09:18what might have been terrific racing asana did everything they could brenner fabulously so as well
09:25that company inios had hopes so did so many other teams like eurox but in the end it was not
09:32to be
