[Music] Are you okay? Yeah, it’s okay.
There’s nothing nothing I can do.
Let Ram go right in front. That’s no problem if he’s alone. Huh? I wouldn’t say lack of balls. I would just say riding spot. Come on, Y. If you catch him back today, this will be a big blow.
Very emotional for me. Try to set up then we have to accept this. Huh? I don’t need to to point them really out. I mean, the way today is riding, the way Ziona’s riding and Ramco and uh I don’t care really much. You know,
I’ve had a pretty horrible winter, so we’ll have to see how it goes over 3 weeks. Try to survive, try to get through the the first 10 days without any troubles, without any problems. Your dog is your dog. [Music] I hope I can live up to the expectation. Yeah, you never know with the new guys coming in as well. And yeah, somebody can surprise. I hope uh I will not uh face difficulties in the the big mountains. I’m gone. I’m dead. I’m more heavy now than I was last year, but it’s muscle and and we know that it gives a lot more power as well.
And now the yellow jersey strikes.
I can say that I’m on the highest level that I’ve that I’ve ever been. Um and then we’ll just see if if it’s enough or not. [Music] 185 km around Leon Metropole. Three shore climbs aren’t what’s concerning the sprinters. With 140 km of exposed roads, potential crosswinds the only likely barrier to yellow. We’re ready for the start of the 2025 tour to France. [Music] A 100% tour to France for the first time since 2020. Appropriate then that four of the five first escapes were native riders. Jonas Rusk, the oddman out following Bruno Amaray alongside Matias Leair, Benjamin Toma and Matio Verer. One of the 12 national champions at the Pelaton’s front, Quinn Simmons tasked with helping deliver teammate Jonathan Milan with Yasper Phillips and other sprinters hunting gold at the end of the stage. Thanks to them.
The first challenge of this tour as the group prepared to climb the Ken Nautraam de [Music] big move of Benjamin Tomar. The cafirus rider taking the first point in the King of the Mountains before the quintet reformed. Oh, crash. First crash of the race. Oh, there’s another crash.
Another crash. Oh, Stefan Bisiger is down. Filipo Ghana would also go down the Italian. The first to abandon this tour. Meanwhile, the speeds were preparing to stretch their legs for the first time. How ferocious would the fight be for the line? So, Jonathan Milan, he’s going to easily take it. From pure sprinters to brave souls going out alone, Matio Verse of Total Energies following the path taken by another of the day’s original escapes. Linking up with Benjamin Toma on route to Mon Castell. Nothing short of hairraising fight to the summit. If there’s anything to go by, it’s going to be some battle for the polka dot jersey.
Look at the wheels bouncing all over the place. Verse goes, Tom goes on the left hand side. Photo finish. Oh, big crash of the breakaway. Both riders in the breakaway are down. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Pelaton ran out of time so the leading group prepared for the inevitable brunch sprint into Leon Metropole. Yeah, for me it’s pretty simple this year. I am here to win stage. Of course, a lot of things in my mind at the start of the tour. Let’s see what’s possible. A lot of pressure for the sprinters the first day. So, uh yeah, nice opportunity. There’s a big opportunity for all the sprinters for the day one. We’ll try to achieve the this big goal. happy uh that I can give it give it a try to to take yellow juice. Echelon forms at the front of this race now. 16.8 km to go. Are the sprinters going to be left behind? Because this acceleration by Yonas Wengerard and his Vizma team have split this race. The roads of Northern France are causing chaos. Right back to 25 seconds to the front group.
Remco is in the group with Meria. He’s missed the splits.
He’s in the grass. Come on, guys. In the front here looking at each other. Second. We gain. We gain. They come up. In the end, it came down to this group to set it up and fire for glory. Not just the stage, but the yellow jersey. The crowd is incredible here in Leil. Matthew Vanderbal. Oh, a big touch of wheels and they almost came down. Biam Gay is right on the barriers. Big move on the right hand side. An attack of the team of Israel. Premier Tech. Joe Blackmore I think going to try and win the stage. Philipsson moves. Yasper Phillipsson now fires. Philipsson goes for glory. Philipsson of Alpasinda Kernik. Is it going to be a dream yellow jersey? It is. Yasper Philipsson wins stage one and takes the yellow. [Music] Yeah, it’s really amazing. Uh I I already had a green jersey from uh two years ago and then to have the yellow jersey hanging somewhere in my house uh in the next uh years, it’s going to be amazing. Not bad getting a hug from Camdish. A long way from a record of 35 set last year, but a 10th tour stage under his belt. But more importantly, the Belgian’s first Mayojon Philipsson reached a speed of 71.46 km an hour during his winning sprint in Leing the likes of Gay and Milan into the green jersey. An early 18-point cushion and only three points handed out, but Panja Toma certainly put it all on the line to take the polka dots. Green jersey winner 12 months ago. Germine now respended in white ahead of Suran Venon Norwegian third on the stage. Bravo team Bravo team. Good job guys.
