Dingle linging the Run goes to T pagat A 13th career stage win at the tour to France making him 14th on the alltime great list surpassing our great here Robbie McAn that was an absolute Master Class by UAE wasn’t it Jonathan I mean they really did they rode they rode the same way they did the other day yeah exactly I mean we’re talking neutral and then we can then we can bring our bi and biases into it it’s all right no that I mean they were confident enough to take the race to ride hard all day long bluntly speaking I thought this isn’t going to work for them that that vinard is going to be able to take advantage of this that visma is going to be able to take advantage of this and that they’re actually maybe not going to lose any time but lose another day for pogar to put it to sleep or put it to bed and just win the race but instead they stuck with their plan they believed in what they were doing and T put in well with the time bonus 45 seconds into the Yas which is going to be more and more difficult to bring back it is and it’s far from over we’ve got to say we have a huge day tomorrow Danny we have a huge final week as well but if this if this was indeed a boxing match then he has dealt a significant blow to you huge blow because he didn’t have to do this today you know he was 1 minute and 14 seconds over vingo coming into today’s stage and we said all he needs to do is ride defensively head of tomorrow as well and the and the last few days that we’ve got so yeah psychologically now he has got the upper hand right let’s get some reaction from within the team I’m understanding that Anders has already had a quick word with xia Al maida let’s hear from him what a performance by uat members by you guys chah H talk us through the the plan how you executed it in the Finish yeah it was was a hard stage wented to do a hard pace and try to do yeah gain time to wiing guard we executed the plan perfectly so yeah I think congrats to the whole team we did a perfect teamwork and yeah we did uh we accomplished the goal so let’s go for it was it the plan that Adam has to to attack and T had to to bridge up to him I mean it was of one of the options it depends like the race situation how is it going so yeah was was really good congratulations SW thank you words from SCH ma we have GC Riders rolling in Pacha straight to protocol but he was C crating you could see how much it meant to him celebrating with M jti and his SW big one for U memor be make sure that you stay on our coverage because we’re going to bring you a lot of content from the GC Riders we certainly well and as we have so much to talk about after all of that Adam talk to me about Adam yet and that maneuver in the final few kilometers first of all great name fantastic name can we ever mention Adam Y without that being your first reaction you were shouting Adam in The Green Room earlier and I was getting really annoyed I didn’t know which one you’re referring to similar language being used for both of us anyway now what was interesting in the day when T attacked a couple of days ago that he was caught by yonas on that climb and I think they were worried about him not being able to hold his pace so I think today they set off with that plan so Tad had that person in front of him to do to almost have that recovery time between him you mentioned it in the Green Room there Robbie that when Tad got onto him it’s almost like I don’t need the Gap to go out yet I just need to recover on that wheel for half a minute a minute then to be able to go again rather than not have that recovery so I think that was you heard y said that was part that could have been one of the plans but when you look back at it it’s almost down to the tea what they did so it’s the big acceleration get rid of Yus get onto the wheel in front of you have that recovery and then go again and these are the shots of their just having a little chinwag about it deciding when they’re going to go but interestingly you know Tad even sat behind yonas all day today he never sat in front of him he always sat behind him he wanted to catch him off guard and even when Yates went there was points where he was bringing Ben back and it was like is he going for the stage and then there was points no he’s waiting I think there was a thing all along that it would have put the doubt in everybody’s mind oh they they’re trying to get at him just to win the stage and and T’s just going to sit tight and when his attack did come it did come somewhat of a surprise he got a big gap straight away by the time the reaction came so did it a little bit differently but for me there there’s a couple of things I think the frame of mind of tday after what we saw a few days ago when Yus beat him at the finish and we speculated that t maybe was under fueled it hit him unexpectedly and really hard this seems to be a statement there’s nothing wrong with my legs or my form and it probably was a case of of a fueling incident and then there’s a whole other discussion about yonas getting better through the tour but where will the point come if it comes where he is no longer getting better but he starts to go the other direction because of lack of preparation when poar does those massive accelerations I mean that has to take a minute to recover from it you can see that I mean he can always take Jonas off his wheel he can always do it but it’s whether he can keep the Gap and I think it’s a pretty smart tactic on uae’s part they just adjusted for it that much and it worked that’s why I think Adam was so instrumental there because if you look back I think it was when Adam was done with his effort and Tad was behind him you could see the difference in the pedaling style of Tad Adam was gone and then he accelerated again after he’d had that little rest bite so that was huge for me today I can bring you the initial time gaps on General classification as they’ve just popped up taddy pagat of course keeping the race lead he now has 1 minute and 57 seconds over yunas vingo who does move into second place but loses time to First Remco AO remains in second at 2 minutes and 22 xia ala is now at 601 Carlos Rodriguez 607 then we mik Landa at 717 so that top three head and shoulders above all the rest and I guess the question now really is over y as Ringo and how much he and visma Lisa bike can actually deliver given the mous terrain that we still have to come of course um Hannah has been catching up from on the gr he she’s having a quick word with matin Fernandez matin first of all congratulations to the whole team Tedy batcha taking the victory just taught me through another tactical master class today and Tedy just showing his strength over his rivals is the master class of the of the Riders is the team made today is made the Perfection uh Team balance in the first moment it’s amazing polit is the new climber pull all all T Mallet after his Sol made the change and give the the recovery for tomorrow Nils after solet is the Perfection after pabel it’s amazing amazing job Almeida for in the in the over classification a pull attack tactically Adan and Adan in front is today killer mode and with Adan in front OB is better and after is the the pace of of today is the killer style did T Pacha tell Adam Yates this morning on the bus to attack where he did or was that purely just instinct is the the teammates in that case is the teammates that decided with the in the moment of the look good the pav zakov and don’t spend with Y and with withan t and the teammates decided to make the pace height no full Pace you have for attack and obligate to the to the BMA for for for entering the in the first position the first Mountaintop finish of this toor of France how much confidence Will T take away from the fact that Jonas couldn’t follow day by day today a good day for us another day is a good day for Jonas H every day it Chang a lot for this is the remaining the same line remaining the same Prudence mode and uh believe in this team believe in these Riders and the mentality of the create atmosphere perfect for the for today and all together with today is important thanks ma congratulations let ask go he looks understandably calm confident in control that’s going to be very assured um quietly confident team bus this evening isn’t it and team Hotel Jonathan it’s a it’s a totally different interview than what we saw this morning with his his peer um Mao the I mean obviously they’re going to be confident after winning the race today but you could see this morning Maro was hesitant he was second guessing he wasn’t really sure and this was just a we set out to do exactly what we said we were going to do and it worked and maybe even a little bit of relief because you know they actually set out with this with this tactic today that they could have backfired on him like it did the other day but they just stuck with it did it made a small adjustment with that Adam y was a really good call two Riders on the road Riders on the road are always better at making those little decisions than the directors back in the car they made that little little adjustment and that made all the difference I think as well sorry I think with Tad in that team BS instrumental as well in terms of how that team performed you know there’ll always be that doubt from the team directors that’s their role to have that doubt and then be able to use it but I think with T he be in that bus this morning going there’s no chance that going to happen again I’m going to do this today I’m going to make sure I’m going to do it you have to believe in me cuz I’ll make it happen I think having a leader like that it’s massive and then to be able to do what he did today they’ll go into the next stage tomorrow and just be like right let’s go again let’s do it again that will have G te was the whole team every single Rider did their job today to Perfection so everyone does step up when you have got a leader like that and they they certainly did today
