Lots of riders who want to be in shape, who want to try to participate in the Grande Course de Juillet. And there, it’s a sprint between Paul Ourselin and Pierre Thierry. He’s going from afar. Pierre Thierry is more of a rouleur. He’s capable of riding hard, but perhaps doesn’t have the punch needed to win this Grand Prix de la Montagne. We’ve fought them out, and each time, it’s Paul Ourselin who’s taken the lead , so at the top, he’ll have three points. You see, the high percentages, they’re there. They’re 200, 300 meters from the summit. It’s not long, 600 meters, but you see it, when you see these two riders, the difference we’re capable of making on a 600-meter climb, you tell yourself that on the last lap, when there’s a big fight, we’ll be able to make some gaps. And it doesn’t tip over. We hit a bit on the climb. The Bora, who are normally racing today for Maxim Van Gils. The Lidl-Trek, who are trying to take Jonathan Milan for a sprint to the finish. The Israelis, who had ridden either for Stewart or, Jacky was talking about it, for Pascal Ackermann. We see the EF team, a great EF team, there’s no one for the general classification, normally, but who will play the shots with Ben Healy, Esteban Chaves. The small bonus behind the breakaways with Nils Politt, who will go for 1 second. We didn’t really understand what we did on the Visma – Lease a Bike team side. We saw Per Strand Hagenes who was throwing Jorgenson, and we got caught out. Yes, Jorgenson, as we remember at Paris-Nice, was doing the bonuses. There, he wanted to do it, but we saw that on Tadej Pogacar’s side, we had delegated Nils Politt to go and get that little second, to prevent Jorgenson, in particular, from taking a little bonus second. So, Uae-Visma match, Uae 1 – 0 Visma. Only 40 seconds. We have the impression that the peloton would like to slow down for the… On the inside, a fall in the bend. We didn’t see it, but I think there’s… Look, there are riders turning around. Problem for Per Strand Hagenes. It was Per Strand Hagenes who had launched the sprint for Matteo Jorgenson earlier . It was absolutely necessary to keep his position in this bend. It was important. Plus one point for Paul Ourselin. On the other hand, he’s going to be met by Pierre Thierry. Pierre Thierry who will try to prolong the adventure a little. Come on, Pierrot. Very good rider, Pierre Thierry. He understood that he lacked a bit of jump, a bit of top speed to challenge Paul Ourselin for points in the mountains. Things are getting crazy. There, we have a big turn of the screw. Change of direction + wind. A little wind coming, which will come a little, causing small breaks. Look what’s happening. We mustn’t tickle Pogi, because if you tickle Pogi, he goes, Vingegard will follow and it’s chaos 38.4 kilometers from the finish. We’re going to have fun on this Dauphiné. A 600-meter climb, a Ben Healy who is causing havoc and behind, the favorites of the Critérium du Dauphiné. There’s one who can’t be too happy with this scenario. We, the viewers, are happy. Jonathan Milan, he must be a little less satisfied with this scenario. It’s probably also the EF team’s desire to get rid of Jonathan Milan and thus free themselves from the yoke of this Lidl-Trek team that wants to keep everyone together. Mathieu Van der Poel follows. Pierre Thierry didn’t expect to see any movement within the peloton either . He who approached this climb with almost 50 seconds. And then, Ben Healy, he does it again. Schachmann or little Paret-Peintre? I’d say Valentin Paret-Peintre in second place. Mathieu on the move. Come on. Mathieu Van der Poel himself behind, followed by a teammate of Tadej Pogacar. At some point, the Lidl-Trek team is going to have trouble controlling everything. Yeah, especially since it’s exploded. There’s a bit of it everywhere, the peloton continuing to explode on this climb. We’re only seven seconds behind Pierre Thierry. And it’s still going. Come on, if everyone plays their part. Fred Wright. Come on. That’s good. Yeah. A nice finishing straight. It’s almost flat. Tadej Pogacar, on the right of the image. Remco Evenepoel, on the other side. And 34 seconds for Fred Wright, the Bahrain Victorious rider. And for Pierre Thierry, the Morbihan rider. Look at Pierre Thierry, who still has a little idea in mind. I didn’t get past, but I gave Fred Wright the climber. He’s going to explode. Come on, go. Over. One last stint, he was nice. He must have talked about the country, about London anyway. No, but I think he told him that. I’ll give you a run for it, I’ll give you the odds. Is Mathieu going to attack? We’ve got him in position anyway, Mathieu Van der Poel. Look behind, Remco Evenepoel is coming up. Ben Healy is already on the right wheel. Ben Healy is on Van der Poel’s wheel. We may have talked too. Come on , it will be, remember, the foot of the hill in about fifteen kilometers. We’ll be at the foot of the Côte de Buffon. Where is Jonathan Milan? A little further back now. We see him in 10th, 15th position. He still has teammates. Here it is, the Côte de Buffon, 600 meters, but it’s going to drop almost 9% on average. We’re going to catch Fred Wright. Where is the pair from the EF formation? Ben Healy, Nerurkar, who had moved earlier. Trentin accelerating. It’s not following. Axel Laurance. Axel Laurance, who’s making a nice acceleration. The French rider from the Inéos Grenadiers team. With Ben Healy, I think he’s in the wheel. It looks like it. No, it’s not Ben Healy. No, it’s not Ben Healy. We’re keeping an eye on the punchers. Pogacar is there. In third or fourth position. It’s Ben Tulett in third. I thought I saw Tadej Pogacar following all that. In fourth position. Nerurukar in second position. Jonas Vingegaard isn’t there. He’s a little further back; we can see him with his red and white helmet. The sprinters are going to suffer, because it’s still climbing very quickly. Maxim Van Gils, who’s still there, with Finn Fisher-Black for the Red Bull Bora team. Paul Penhoet, who’s there. That’s what he’s doing, Paul Penhoet. One of the few sprinters to have been able to pull off a run. That really hurts. That little false flat that comes just after the real climb. Vingegaard attacks! And Pogacar is going for it. And Mathieu is going for it too. We’re already testing ourselves. It’s classy. This Tour de France is good. We’re on the first stage of the Dauphine criterium. Look, we have two world champions. Lenny Martinez. That’s good, Lenny. Or Buitrago. And look behind, curtain. Will they collaborate? Remco? No. It’s Remco who comes out with his Olympic champion’s helmet. It’s Buitrago, I think. It’s not Lenny. It’s Santiago Buitrago who’s there. That’s what we call a royal breakaway. Give me a little Remco. All that’s missing is Remco. When he goes, he’ll turn. He’s coming. Let him come back. 5 kilometers from the finish. We’re being polite. Remco lets Buitrago pass. It’s going to be a boost behind. Romain Bardet wants to be part of the party for his last week of racing. Immediately chased by Matteo Jorgenson. The more the merrier. Guillaume Martin is there too. Jorgenson isn’t going to ride. So, it’s okay. We don’t see the Lidl-Trek, we don’t see Jonathan Milan in the 20 first positions while we’re under the red flame. It’s not going to go in then. 880 meters from the finish. Alex Baudin giving his all. Up front, are we going to be looking at each other for the stage victory? Mathieu Van der Poel, yes, it’s worth looking at. Tadej Pogacar, Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel who’s behind. And Mathieu. And Mathieu attacking. Yes, Vingegaard who knows he’s slower than Pogacar. He’d be sceptical. Pogacar getting ahead of him and taking time-limits. We’re working for Jack Stewart. And we’re 500 meters from the line. Will Team Israel be able to close those 50 meters? It’s going to be complicated. Watson launching for Ineos with Hugo Page in his wheel. It’s worth looking at, it’s worth looking at up front. Come on, Mathieu is forced to launch the sprint more than 200 meters from the finish line. Evenepoel in the wheel. Turgis behind who has triggered his sprint. Mathieu Van der Poel in the lead with Remco Evenepoel and Tadej Pogacar. It’s not going to work for Buitrago who is going to be caught. Mathieu Van der Poel is holding on. Tadej Pogacar is coming back. On the finish line, Tadej Pogacar. The world champion who wins this first stage ahead of his best enemy from July, Jonas Vingegaard, this world champion who will swap this jersey for the yellow jersey of leader of the Dauphiné in a few moments . This is the second time he has participated in the Dauphiné. He took fourth place in the general classification in 2020. What a finale! We want it again and again. What a finale! What a spectacle! Oh my! Tomorrow, 3 p.m., the lineup of the pedal kings with Louis-Pierre for the second stage. The images around 3:20 p.m. with Steve, with Jacky. So here is the result. The French who were just behind. Yes, we said it, we predicted a sprint finish. Everyone is at the same time, it’s true, but one is missing, it’s Buitrago who recovered in the finale. And then, we said it, this finale was still muscular, perhaps too muscular for Jonathan Milan, who will have a great opportunity to redeem himself tomorrow. His entire team worked behind today’s breakaway. But the last climb, the Côte de Buffon, was fatal for the Italian. It’s going to be fun tomorrow. Yellow jersey on the shoulders of Tadej Pogacar. The green jersey on those of Jonas Vingegaard. That way, we won’t lose them. Then Mathieu Van der Poel, who wanted to play, but who will probably play again tomorrow. He risked everything, even losing. He lost. And behind him, Tadej Pogacar, already Christ-like in this world champion’s jersey that he will swap in a few moments for the yellow jersey of the Dauphiné. It will probably be Bernard Thévenet who will hand it to him.
