wins. Yonas, I think second. Good job, boys. This is the best we could do. Really, really good job. Something is not going well for this rider. I was fighting my uh my bike and my legs today. Everything needs to go as as the plan is. And in the end, uh I think it was pretty good. Pagatcha is on fire in this time trial. Daddy did a a very strong time trial as well to be 16 seconds behind the world champion, Olympic champion and gain time on the GC. I’m super super happy and proud. What can you say about the gap now? That it’s uh yeah about a minute. Every day is a GC battle. There’s a lot of cards to play today, but I think uh yeah, the priority is uh to not to spend too much energy and uh see how the stage develops. I hope it will play out that we have a hard start, a strong breakaway and then it will be hard for team UAE and Alpine to control. There’s a chance for the breakaway. There’s a chance for the favorites again to go for the stage. Maybe a guy like Matio wants to go for it again. Mandul is very ambitious. The break has a great chance if he’s in it. It’s not only perfect for me. I think Tai show is uh he’s the strongest at the moment. This could be the first chance of this uh tour. I guess it’s going to be a bit chaotic at the start. A deceptively tough stage with six categorized climbs, 3,550 m of elevation, all packed into narrow back roads. The vibrant and colorful fans supporting their home riders, in particular Kevin Flan, as they departed from his hometown of Bayou. The lack of any early attack had the green jersey hopefuls primed for the intermediate sprint. 20 points on offer for the first across the line. Gi goes with Machu Vanderpool. Milan down the right hand side as we look. Gay looks across, but it looks like Jonathan Milan has got the legs and he’s just going to power his way off the front by at least three bike lengths. Second is Vanderpool. Third is Binian Gay. Good boys. Really good work. So guys, pay attention. Quinn for the breakaway. Uh yeah, good to watch. I think it was proving hard to break away. The trio of Quinn Simmons, Ben Healey, and Harold Teada hoped to change that. While the first real bumps on the stage were leaving the sprinters behind. Come on, guys. Fight for every position here. Fight for every position. The move will happen. So as expected, Vizma is playing this card that they want to keep the race open. They want to keep the fight longer. They want to go all out, all in all day. By the looks of things, they don’t want Pagata to have any form of recovery time and any form of rest. An intense battle unfolding. Sixth on GC, Matio Vanderpool bridging to the front group as did Jirro champion Simon Yates who lost time in the north but signaled a return to form. Work to do of this breakaway could win the stage. Could he attack before the final uphill? Could the American champion dream of a first tour stage win? The gap growing past a minute, what would the final 100 kilometers have in store? Let them go. Let them go. And a big attack now from the front group of riders. Ben Healey’s decided time to try and win the stage alone. 24year-old Healey looking to leave his mark on Lron Bller. Initially, there was no urgency to chase the Irishman. That would soon change. Michael, come on. You’re super strong, guys. Super strong. Come on. Come on. On course for just a fourth tour stage win. His 2018 EF Education trying to keep Healey cool as a cucumber. And this is where the Irishman thrives and you chased his breakthrough tour def. I don’t enjoy so much sitting in the pelaton and waiting for the moves or being reactive. And I like being on the front foot and being being able to be the aggressor. I can kind of turn my hand to anything. Um apart from sprinting maybe, but um just like a long hard days, whether that’s if that’s a flat long hard day or a hilly one and that’s absolutely fine. [Music] Um a mistake I made last year was was just going for every single stage, you know, and I think I need to need to be more selective. He’s dreamt of winning a stage of the tour to France and now it’s about to come true. Brilliant Ben stage win in the tour to France. Matthew Vanderpool crosses the line now at 358. [Music] They’re not far from the finish line. All the favorites seems to be in this group. That’s it for Tish Bonut. Lipovich taking the front only on the wheel. You know, Tatty Pagatcha might hold on to the jersey here. It’s very very close for Pagatcha to hold on to yellow from Matthew Vanderpool. In fact, I think he’s just going to do it. So, the sprint now going on. Wengerard behind Pagatcha. It’s going to be really, really close as to whether Vanderpool is in the jersey or Pagatcha is in the jersey. By my calculations, it’s going to be a matter of seconds of a difference. Pagatcha starts to jump away now. And now Wengerard has to stay in the wheels. And right on the line, I think it’s going to be 1 second. [Applause] Good buddy. Congratulations. [Music] Just unbelievable. It’s uh yeah, really what I’ve worked all for, you know. [Music] Yeah. I just grew up watching a tour and and one day wishing that I could could maybe even be there, you know. So to to even be here is an achievement and now to win a stage is just Yeah, it’s just so so so amazing. A huge moment for Irish cycling. Healeely joining an illustrious name of stars for the Emerald Isle. And not just that, Edward Dumbar meaning it’s two from Ireland in the top four. But a solitary second, Vanderpool back as the tour leader. The Dutchman didn’t start the day with yellow in mind, but it’s where he ended up. Jonathan Milan wore the jersey on the stage. Now it’s the Italians outright. Vanderpull just 4 seconds a drift. Tim Valins didn’t wear the polka dots on the road, but he’s back in them on the podium. Healey jumps up to third after his solo effort. Still in white, Remco Evanapole home alongside homeboy Vocalan to remain 17 seconds clear of the Frenchman. Next the tour is off to Britany where Matio Vanderpool won in 2021. Can he remain in the yellow jersey?
