5 and a half kilm to go we’re making our way to the final 2 km which is uphill up to a gradient of about 7% and crucially for that that those final 3 kilom or so everybody knows what they like they’ve been through there on two occasions therefore they all know how

It’s going to play out when they come to the Sprint baril finished in 13th Place yesterday Bastian T didn’t race yesterday so maybe he’s got the freshest legs we know that AO won skelm MOA was third vanil was Fifth and Mark hiri finished in 24th Place so five of these

Riders erased yesterday the only one who did was Bastian ton let’s see if that actually helps him on that final climb but the game that u8 MERS have to play because they have the numerical Advantage is happening right now marishi is the first to attack and hono thinks

Hey whatever you do your thing I’ll just wait and see what happens here nobody reacted straight away so you could see Bary waving at the the camera bike to to tell him to to you he thinks he’s getting a bit of slipstream they’re going to have to be

Careful here they can’t really give something about like Hershey much more than 10 15 seconds cuz he’s not really going to he’s not really going to slow down the motorbikes are awfully close I do give that to uh to war baril they have to move up a little bit and that is

Up to the commissaires to uh to give that instruction Vil is leading the chase group final 4 kilm right now of the Drome classic Mar his final victory was in the uh tour of Luxembourg in September last year always a wonderful race to watch with uh beautiful scenery beautiful landscapes and Punchy climes

Like we had today luckily this is not the first rain they had in the region so the roads won’t be too slippery but this is a good attack here by Mari and through the corners pipper they lose sight of him pretty soon as well they have he’s going

To take a few more risks there soon as they stop pilling back back in this Chase group there she’s going to take a second there on Cor you can see that that just through that little Hamlet he’s double disadvantage almost unless they ride flat out straight away doesn’t like they’re going to take

Him back anymore no the chasing is up to ma the man with number 21 obviously is not going to do anything it’s his teammate up front and the case of Maas skelo yeah he’s just hasn’t got anything left he was dropped on that climb we saw

That before so we can’t expect him to uh to be part of the chase so it’s Mari versus baril uh fil and T and the road yeah they’re running out of road as we speak 8 seconds it’s not a lot and of course 8 seconds is something that you can make

Up in these final 2 kilm that are uphill there is a percentage at about 200 M from the finish line that is up to 12% that must be the inside of a corner uh that is that is giving these gradients but um yeah it is a steady 45% in the

Final kilometer so 8 seconds it’s it’s not a lot but we do know that marishi is a bit of an expert when it comes to these uphill Punchy Punchy type uh finales these are the two Chasers uh at 55 seconds we won’t discuss them but it is indeed Corbin strong and and paulaa

Of De kaplon but this man is in the lead he is fighting free Riders who are chasing and and these three Riders Pier they will be thinking okay if I do all the work I’m not going to win the bike race either exactly and they’re they’re going to take less risks on these

Corners um because now that Hershey’s out of sight it becomes more difficult them to to commit fully to the corner because if they fall off they’re going to lose any kind of chance of the podium so for her she is looking good and he’s willing to

Take that risk for the win so he’s all in at the moment most definitely we’re going into that final kilometer the road starts Rising just a gentle 3% but this is the final kilometer and now the road goes up towards that 5% Mark marishi is still glancing over his shoulder but

According to the GPS the Gap is going out the Swiss National Champion is on his way to his first victory of the year he was already sixth in the opening race in Portugal the Gua Champions classic of course won after that magnificent solo by Remco aapo erased the Volta o algard

It was 24th yesterday and now took full advantage of the numerical advantage that they had in that chasing group Mar she he’s got a gel ready for Ah that’s too late we’re going into the steepest part and this group is beaten you can almost see it in the body language on

The shoulders of waren bar juo sets himself in second position making sure that nobody even thinks about going for another attack we’re going into the final 500 m hiri is not taking all risks he knows that the roads are slippery this is going to be the steepest part

The red light is not going to stop him still glancing over his shoulder but he doesn’t see them they haven’t turned that corner just yet this is a reassuring lead for the man from Switzerland a very narrow road and then after this corner he can almost see the

Finish Line although that comes really really late just throughout the corner there another glance over his shoulder after 4 hours and 40 minutes of racing Mark H of UAE team Emirates is on his way to the win he’s 25 and this will be win number 15 for the Swiss Rider he’s

25 years of age 200 me to go MK hiri he puts everything on the pedals the final ounces of energy and around the corner he sees the Finish Line the Chasers they’re not really that far back he has to keep on pushing it’s actually his teammate qu Uso making sure it’s a onew

For the UAE team Evers but number one is going to be Mark hiri he knows it he has it the first win of the year and a nice second place for teammate juo won two for team emat Maxim fills in third place
