Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Philipsson crashes. The green jersey is down. From joy to despair, in the flash of a second, Philipsson has lost nearly the entire green jersey off his back. We had a goal to go for the green jersey with him. I have to say that I’m really sorry for Jasper. [Music] A victory of mature today would be a a beautiful symbol. It would be a beautiful symbol. It would be uh great for Yasper also to see that that we continue without him. Everybody mentally uh is still with him. No fractures, no major issues, just burns everywhere. Yes, quite some skin loss, but luckily no fractures. Today is is all about the recovery. We’re going to do our best. We need to try and uh yeah seize the opportunity today. The first 100k is cross tail. So I think it’s just going to be be a big fight for the break and and maybe a super strong move goes. Maybe not. It should suit me. So let’s see how the race goes. After Bon Sumeare in the north, it was Normandy’s turn to host a punchy finish and Ruan 173 km, but it was the final 50k that would unleash five short but brutal climbs. Plenty of bumps and bruises already. Who is ready to shine on stage five? Martinez victorious mobility. [Music] [Applause] Casper ascreen bridged the gap to the initial three escapes. The quartet building up a two-minute gap while Kernik were protecting Matio Vanderpool at the front of the belt on more than happy with the proceedings so far. 215 2 minutes 15. The break riding well together. The gap holding as they entered the final 100 km. But with the action-packed final 50k to come, the fireworks had yet to be lit. And here goes the first attack from Martinez. Lenny Martinez attacks hard. Big move of the Frenchman for the team of Bahrain. Victorious. Martinez has a plan for today. Maybe it’s polka dots. One point on offer on the first climb of today’s stage. Ascreen now hits it hard. Ascreen wants the polka dots. He goes. That’s what his aim of today is. Look at the speed of Ascreen. Really strong acceleration. Lenny Martinez now moving 48 kilometers an hour on the king of the mountains. Oh, Aspreen got it. Having failed to catch as green on the line on the previous climb, this time Martinez is all alone to nab the maximum two King of the Mountain points on the Kelb Buff. The Frenchman going all out, but heading into the final 20 km. The final was only going to get harder and harder. Jockeying for position, the favorites rising to the top. How’s your legs? Pagatcha gets out the saddle and here is the moment of the first attack of the world champion. Pagatcha goes 21 km an hour 14% and immediately onto his wheel goes Yonas Wengerard and Mach of Vanderpool hanging out there not too far not drifting too much but the last 200 m are absolutely brutal. Oh, Vanderpool he sits down. That’s it. It’s done for Mach of Vanderpool. Remco Vanipool now takes the front in the wheel and Vlan behind him. Jorgens in that group two. But look at these two go. Look at Pagacha and Wenger can’t go. Venard cracks as well and lets Paga go and he’s almost at the top of the climb. Wenger looked around to see if anyone was there and he just can’t go. Now he has to fight his way back onto the wheel of Pagacha. Can he do it? Hauling himself pedal rev by pedal rev back onto the wheel of the world champion who I don’t think realized that Wengerard had left a gapson [Music] goes and decides now time to go. And this is the left hand turn and you will start climbing. Jorgensson attacks now. Goes clear to try and win the stage for Visma Lisa bike. Leans it into he almost had to go onto that and use it as a drone banking. Jorgensson going for glory. Xiao Ala trying to hunt him down. Behind him is Remco Apollo. Matthew Vanderpool moves up. We’re 700 m from the top and the finish line. Jorgensson is still there, but the yellow jersey is getting ready for another stage win. Xiao Meda starts the sprint. Paga is tucked in on the wheel. He wants his hundth stage 100th win of his career this afternoon. On his wheel is Wengerard. Gregoire is getting ready to strike. 3 hours and 50 minutes. This final part of this stage has been one where you get the pop curl out and you enjoy a blockbuster. Remco Apollo is being a little bit distanced on the run in. He needs to close the gap into the finish. Here goes Matthew Vanderpole. Pagatcha wants his 100th win. Bengard is there. It’s going to be yet again Pagatcha. Pagatcha goes for the finish line. Now it’s going to be 100 career wins. Taga stage number four. SP moment. Yeah, I’m I’m just without words was such a nice victory. 100 100 victory in your career and you do it on the on the post. What a symbol. Yeah. uh to win at the tour is incredible in this jersey even more and uh to to have a 100 victory. It’s uh it’s amazing. Yeah, the cycling said cheering continues to stack up the numbers. The three-time overall winner taking his 18th tour stage success and a 12th win of a dominant 2025 campaign. Despite the same overall time, Vanderpool keeps the yellow jersey, courtesy of Countback. Veragor sees an 8-second gap open up. Jonathan Milan remains in green. Little movement in the category for another few days, will keep the Italian in the jersey. UAE again with the tour polka dots, both on five points, but Tim Wellins hands the jersey back to Pagatcha. Kevin Vocalan retains the white jersey, but the flying Scotsman Oscar Onley gained 10 seconds after coming fourth on the stage. 100 very much not out. Pagatcha won on stage four last season and went on to claim another five wins. Ominous. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
