big boys are back let’s go summer’s here come on we’ve never had I mean I’ve been covering the Doofane for years five years or something and we’ve never had the three Tour to France favorites here in good shape remco Jonas Tatty Paga i don’t even care what the stage profile is there’s a hill near the finish that’s all you need to know it’s a flat finish these two are scheming they’re plotting something up what are they talking about pagatcha and Vingard i mean I’m so hyped for this summer hopefully they the action continues israel and uh T were controlling there’s also the GC teams nervous you see these narrowings the road furniture the roundabouts and these narrowings in particular come before that hill visma bring some rulers for that purpose peranhoges Camponauts Vultus sort of the allrounder as well in the Hungarian natty champs jersey so Trek want Milan sprint i think Israel won an Arkham sprint there were 1 second left uh at the intermediate sprint uh bonies behind the breakaway of Oscela and Terry but Polllet takes it from Jorgensson and then they resettle back into a rhythm of one UAE on the left side Vizma on the right side terry leaves also behind we have the first Kubon 800 m 9% punchy ben Healey says “Thank you i’m about to have this dance.” Civ on the wheel archie Ryan third wheel tullet a bit deeper visma may be caught by surprise solair flicks Wellens wellins can’t hold the wheel of Archie Ryan pagach is in brilliant position vingard comes around Vulta he senses something’s up vanderpool’s positioned by Johnny Veromesh on the left hand side shoo’s there for Treasurus controlling proceedings and Archie Ryan the young Irishman steps off a Healey look who’s about to have a dig tyler Pagacha 39ks to go on a sprint stage tessionis Wingigard sees how he’s going since his absence from racing after Parinise all the way back in March uh trying to get some early answers looks around sees ah the familiar sight of the Dane on his wheel israel they were really well represented inos want to go for Axel Laurance or Sam Watson but attacks start going healy goes again valance Perry Prant in good position jorgensson goes and MVP closes it vanderpool decides to shut itself pagatch is boxed by Tullet and Vingard civicov goes on the wheel of Vanderpool and Trek losing control here you don’t see him in his one Trek jersey in the first 25 johnny Milan already slid a lot on that hill and also where was Narvas Arkamman has a illtime mechanical with 30ks to go quickstep get into good position with uh Ankhorn and Varka because we’re coming up to that important hill remco is obviously noticeable from the golden helmet from winning the Olympics last year and it’s with about eight less six sevenks to go that hill crest but still the breakaway is not caught if Fred Ryder had counterattacked and gone across after that lull after the first rep and Pagatcha is free lancing he’s not going to trust his team he’s going to go to the Vizma train then he switches off to the Alperson train he’s moving himself around the pelaton which he’s brilliant at there’s almost nobody better in the world is he’s a classics rider he’s a Tour of Fllanders two-time winner for a reason if you can’t position you can’t win the tour of Fllanders and here’s that narrowing you got to be in position for that roundabout cuz look how stretched it is right now you can’t move up very easily it’s single file except K dive bombs this corner peran Hagenz is first and we see three four V of hisma jerseys in the front and Pagacha and he placed himself in brilliant position he’s following Vanderpool’s in okay position but on the left hand side Axel Laurance launches it lucas Narur’s the EF rider who gets to his wheel tallet goes as well and look at Paga he says well if you’re going to give me a lead I I’ll follow van Hills I think one of the Red Bull Borah Hansore riders has to sit down and Pagatcha goes round him to the gutter side jorgensson following Pagatcha tallet just getting tailed off a little bit but Laurance maybe went too hard too early naruka steps off him very very impressive as this levels out but where’s Vingigot he’s coming back to the wheel of Vanderpool and Pagatcha and now some really exciting racing kicks off nuruka’s up the road jorgensson sees this is an opportunity he can roll over Vanderpool i mean who wants to go to a sprint with Vanderpool who wants to go to a sprint with Johnny Milan if he’s still there and Vanderpool doesn’t really want to react straight away but he’s like I guess I have to for the stage win remember Vanderpool just had a scaffoid injury from a crash in the mountain bike his legs look pretty good to me in this stage closing a lot of attacks pagatcha does the the rest for Vanderpool closing on this short downhill as Naruka slows down a bit but that’s not it i mean look at it in a single file it’s like 25 riders van Hills goes Tullet goes and Pagata reacts on him so Pagatcha is reacting on a lot this isn’t We aren’t in the mountains we aren’t even This isn’t even a steep hill anymore they’re just racing on flat slightly uphill roads now at the end of a sprint stage and here was the surprise of the stage gonas Vingar drops the hammer on Té Pagatcha which I don’t think Aanapool was expecting we don’t we’re wondering where is Aanapool when this is all happening vanderpool reacts to let the wheel go santiago who was really good at the start of the season before he had a crash i think he jumps out of the pelaton and these four look like they’re gone vinger guard’s gone 50 kph on the false flight uphill pagatcha gets back to his wheel jorgensson’s on the radio saying you got a gap and look at Ramco he just got brought back I think by Shakman on the left hand side i mean he’s seeing the two GC favorites for this race look at the gap they’ve got so Reno’s positioning wasn’t great but his legs must have been good because he bridges this gap pretty fast when everyone else in this pelaton was cooked and no one else goes with him but for Vanderpool this is looking really good got GC riders pagata is always going to ride remco is always going to ride santi will ride for his GC position ter got one rider bard is getting countered and Vizmer helping block behind because Vingard’s up the road even Vingard’s relaying for Vanderpool is looking perfect but unfortunately for him the Pelton starts getting closer vingard skips here he skips a turn pelton gets a little bit closer looks like they’re about to get caught 2.4ks to go they can almost reach out and touch them ef are for chasing for Narup reduce group sprint danthon have got Tron Shawn there and now Vingard stops pulling all together goes to Pagatcha 700 meters to go and Vanderpool’s pot committed he has to go to the line now he’s not going to win the sprint from the group behind santi goes to his wheel pagatra and Vingar weren’t going to react but they have to react on Remco and so Pagatra goes to the wheel of Remco vulnerable has to do like a 700 meter lead out and unfortunately for him he gets finessed by the GC boys the group coming from behind Jake Stewart for Israel uh I think won the group sprint behind but it was Tai Pagatcha who won the sprint he rolled over Remco rolled over Vanipool vingard comes second in the sprint but Pagatcha gets the better of Vanderpool and the Dane winning his I don’t know like millionth race this season and going into the leaders jersey of course ahead of Engle Aable then Steuart Pon Venttorini Tomar and Penway here’s what Pagacha had to say after the race I followed the moves on the on the steep part of the climb and then uh yeah Vizma was uh clearly going for the stage win they were trying with everybody to attack on on the top and uh uh fortunately I had good legs and uh I cover all the attacks and then even uh for the last one for the cherry on the top he attacked on the top then uh that one was painful and luckily was downhill almost almost all all the way down and uh to the finish so I could recover a bit and then uh around 2k to go to to prepare for sprint and uh it worked probably the most exciting opening stage of the dopamine I’ve ever covered hopefully the race continues like this if it does we’re in for a treat check out the joint cycling link down below and I’ll see you with a recap of stage two tomorrow
