He is the only one among the 10 who escaped. Today, they have been in front since perhaps the 15th kilometer. Quentin Pacher, Axel Laurance, Hugo Houle, Nelson Oliveira, Kévin Vauquelin, Cristian Rodrigez, Mike Teunissen, Harold Tejada, Jonas Abrahamsen. We get there in passages with more than 15%. This is what really hurts your legs and your morale as well. You have returned, but in a few moments, things may break down again under the arcades. We are there in this S. and it is Axel Laurance who attacks. The attack by Axel Laurance, the French rider from Keninck’s Alpecine team. We had doubts. Followed by Quentin Pacher, Kévin Vauquelin, Cristian Rodriguez who is hanging on. The best defense, sometimes, it is said, is attack and that is what the Frenchman from Alpecine is putting in place. He was waiting for this moment, he was very patient. He always followed in ambush and he is hurting everyone. Kévin Vauquelin who manages the effort. Solitary effort, it can be a choice. Why not ? We are not interested in others and we say to ourselves: We can leave, we are far away. More than 31 kilometers from the finish. There will be a second ascent of San Luca later. Tejada who, also a bit like Vauquelin, gets on the train. And behind, it’s harder. We always have the same ones. Hugo Houle in difficulty. Quentin Pacher hanging on. Two riders from the Arkéa–B&B Hotels team among the four. Look at the Visma team which takes this peloton 3 minutes 34 seconds behind the 10 men in the lead. Watch out for Abrahamsen too. Yeah. Which came back every time. And Oliveira, we must not let him out. Again for the Portuguese. It’s a great attack from Nelson Oliveira who will be able to take a few meters in advance. Kevin Vauquelin who goes there with Abrahamsen. That would be great. And yes, and then behind us we stay a little in the wheel of Axel Laurance, who is the fastest runner. We are obviously wary. Axel showed that he was in good condition earlier. That’s a good move for Vauquelin, that. Three beasts to ride. Abrahamsen, the Portuguese Oliveira and Kevin Vauquelin. It’s a great attack from the experienced Nelson Oliveira, the oldest among these 10 front men. There was a little moment of respite. Kevin, you made him pass by. You saw Abrahamsen and he doesn’t ride. He doesn’t drive, Jonas Abrahamsen. Off we go, Oliveira in the lead, behind him, Kevin Vauquelin and Jonas Abrahamsen. There, we can imagine that Kévin Vauquelin will certainly, perhaps not from the start, but will try to get rid of Oliveira. That would normally be relatively easy. And get rid of the weighted jersey wearer. And there, we know that Abrahamsen is not going to give up. That’s it, here we go. Let’s go to Bajocasse, Kévin Vauquelin. Look, Abrahamsen, he’s huge. Bajocasse? Yes, native of Bayeux, of course. In Calvados, it’s off to Kévin Vauquelin. Abrahamsen turned around. It’s not good. Come on, here we go, Kevin. Come on ! This effort is enormous. We had already seen him behave well in this first ascent of Son Luca. With Abrahamsen. Watch out, Abrahamsen, because he’s going up at his own pace. It’s smooth, as they say yes, but afterwards, Kevin Vauquelin, too, is smoothing out his effort. Remember, we are not yet in the highest percentages of this climb, but he will have to at least switch with at least 15 or 20 seconds at the top to be sure. He will go for victory. 15 or 20 seconds, Jacky. 15 or 20 seconds up there. Yes, it takes at least 15 or 20 seconds. I think he’ll get them. It’s a long way behind. Yes, there is this second climb which makes… Because it changes. there is this little false dish again. This finale, Kevin looking back, looking a little. Abrahamsen, I almost want to say the intelligence of also waiting for Nelson Oliveira. They are not very far away. It is not very far, the Norwegian, Jonas Abrahamsen, Nelson Oliveira in third position. We will have the behavior of those who follow them at 33 seconds from now on with, among others, Quentin Pacher and Axel Laurance. And then, also see how Axel Laurance will behave. If he fires the same shot as earlier, he could get back to around fifteen, twenty seconds behind Kévin Vauquelin, or even better. But for the stage victory, I think it was well done. It took less than 20 seconds and it’s double that. It’s still a long time, Jacky. It’s long. Less than 13 kilometers for Kevin Vauquelin who will take the lead. Look at the gap, 41 seconds showing. There will be Jacky’s time in a few seconds. Kevin Vauquelin. But it’s not Armirail there will be these three seconds. Maybe a lot more. Jacky, Kevin Vauquelin, the Arkéa–B&B Hotels runner, it doesn’t go down all the time. No, it goes down very slowly and then it goes back up again. It’s true, we are expecting a first success on a grand tour from the Arkea BNB team . We have never been so close for Emmanuel Hubert. It would be a first in a Tour de France, in a grand Tour. What benefits Kevin Vauquelin is that Nelson Oliveira was never able to join Jonas Abrahamsen to help him and to be together in the hunt for Kevin Vauquelin. I don’t see how it can fit. 45 seconds is mission impossible, even if Tejada, Pacher, there is still Cristian Rodriguez, so obviously… He is not going to ride behind. It is the third of the last Tour de France who leads. We can’t see… Oh, Pogi’s attack! Pogacar with Jonas Vingegaard who was attentive in the last hectometers of this climb of San Luca. And it will switch behind Pogacar to get seconds. Here we go. So there, no bonus. He wants to test Vingegaard. Well, Vingegaard, he’s doing well despite his lack of competition. What a response from the Dane who was vigilant, but what an attack he turned around. We’ve already seen this image of the duo a lot last year. It will not be for the final victory of this stage, but it is a first indication. There are only two of them. The others haven’t been able to follow yet. It’s not a classic, but it looks like one. He doesn’t have the experience yet, Kevin Vauquelin, but at 23 years old, he could watch. Look, maybe we’re starting to believe it within the training. Arkéa–B&B Hotels could win this second stage of the Tour de France after Romain Bardet yesterday. He watches Eurosport, Hervé. He hears you. We look at you, we see you, Hervé. Look, yes, we watch Eurosport. He’s the press officer. He will have work, Hervé, this evening. Three kilometers. Look at Cristian Rodriguez who maybe understands. Cristian Rodriguez will be able to have a part of this success, it is perfectly illustrated. We saw the duetizations at DSM. Duets at Arkea BNB Hotel, again with two men in a breakaway, less than three kilometers. But Kevin Vauquelin will win today. Realize, he was so unhappy. There were these tears, these tears when he saw that Bruno Armirail was faster than him in the pre-control of the French championships. Three seconds better, less than a kilometer. The red flame for Kevin Vauquelin. A second victory in two days for a French runner. This hasn’t happened in a very long time at the start of a round. We’ll see that in Les Rois de la Pédale with Lesly. In a few moments, the class will be able to enjoy it. In a few moments, still focused, Kevin Vauquelin, 600 meters. What number What number in the second climb of Sam Lucas. This is where he made the difference. He was smart to follow Nelson Oliveira, to also follow Jonas Abrahmsen, he is only 23 years old. This is the first time he has participated in the Tour de France. His second grand tour, he dazzled with all his class, the roads of the Tour de France. Well done ! Kevin Vauquelin, a second French winner in two days on the roads of the Tour de France. It’s in Italy, but they will be celebrated in a short time, starting Tuesday in France, Kevin Vauquelin, ladies and gentlemen. Kevin Vauquelin, a young runner, but one who ran with experience, who benefited from the numerical superiority of the Arkéa–B&B team to win. First victory to protect them from Emmanuel Hubert on the roads of the Tour de France. Stage victory is completely crazy. Yes, it’s completely crazy. Yesterday I was at the bottom of the jump. I spent weeks, as I said, difficult, with disappointments. Even if I was at my level at the French championship, around that, I wasn’t good, that’s on that either. To be able to do that is a bit of an escape, but I’m really happy. We had the perfect day. We saw that the peloton was letting us go. I think it’s thanks to the breakaway that wasn’t caught yesterday. They said: We can let one more escape. I think it was the perfect day. Tactically, you played extremely well with Rodriguez who was with you. You left at the right time and ciao ciao. I’m going to thank a lot Christian who put a lot of power throughout the race doing the relays to animate, escape and then control everything, he was very strong. And frankly, a big thank you. And I felt in the bump before, when Axel accelerated, I came back to the tempo, I could attack at the top, but I said: It’s far. I’m going to do this in the last bump and see where I can get. And when I went out with Colivera and Abraham Sen, I knew that in the bump, I was punchier than… So I said: It’s time. And if there are two of them, they will have difficulty riding. So it was perfect. When did you start to like it? Late, because I kept asking about the weather. I know they can attack very hard, they rode very hard, Abraham Sen, Olivera and even the cowards from l’Échappée. So I was always a little wary, but I think my riding skills were there. So I didn’t give up at all and it was cool. I imagine you have a lot of dreams, but at least this one is done. Already, the dream was to participate in the Tour de France and now, I manage to win the second stage. At the start of the Tour de France, I think it will put me in a good spiral for the future. And even for the team, it is Arca BNB Hotel’s first victory in the Tour de France. I am very, very happy to have brought them this first victory. Well done, well done. THANKS.
