I think I’m live. Hey guys, am I live again? Am
I live right now? I’m not even sure if I’m live. Uh guys, I think we’re back right now. Sorry
about that. Uh yeah, as someone said here, uh so the new streams Ruben saying, “Sorry,
Ruben, don’t worry about it. I thought it was allowed to. UT police is out in force. Um,
yeah, it’s all good. All good here, guys. Uh, I’m not really sure what’s showing on screen right
now. Let me get back into this, dude. Don’t even worry. Don’t even worry about it. Let me just
get focused here. Stage tour to France. Uh, yep, we’re back. Stage seven tour to France.
We’ve gone through the checkpoint here, guys, of the sprint. Let me just see what’s going
on here. So, guys, this is when people ask me, “Well, can you not show stuff?” Dude, you can’t
show anything apparently. Uh, that was highlights from four years ago. Uh, instantly banned. So, now
I’m going to have to go upstairs uh and try to get Joey to fix that. I might step away and get her to
fix that because that video is gone now until we fix it. So, we’ll be getting a notification that,
hey, you violated copyright routes, which I’m okay with. I don’t want to be taking stuff from people.
Garcia Cortina first on the line. Milan wins first in the bunch. So that kind of makes sense to me
now. They were fine. Uh guys, sorry missed the sprint there. Uh to let the front group take the
first five points. They could still battle for the later points. So currently we have a Oh wow.
Has it all came back? No, it hasn’t came back together. 1 minute 12 second gap. We got our front
Looks like we have our front five. Yeah, they’re all back. Garcia Cortina was just off the front
there because of the sprint. 1 minute 12 seconds back to the Pelaton. Uh let’s leave it there.
What I’m going to do is I’m just going to put it on the map here, guys. Uh give me a second to
run upstairs and see what’s going on at the tour. I can’t actually see my stream that’s streaming
to you guys. Just let me know guys if you’re seeing what I’m streaming right now. I’m kind of
stuck like in a little bit of a limbo land here. Um, I don’t see my video. So, I’m just seeing a bunch of my uh
thumbnails and stuff like that. Let’s see what is streaming. So, I’m seeing
me doing the map, the video, everything. And back here, it’s just showing me fixing. Okay.
So, John is saying here. Okay. So, good. Uh, I’m WA. Yeah. So, this is the way for me to I
have to watch here for a second, guys. Uh, you lost all your viewers for now. Guess what? Guess
who’s back. Back again. Colin’s back. Rocket, my friend. Yep. You lost all your viewers.
Yeah, dude. Hopefully, they come back. Uh, you were there. Map is there. Everything looking
good. Okay, that’s good. Good stuff, guys. Uh, guys, I’m just going to step away. Yeah, cuz I
can see what you guys are seeing on that one. I can’t see. You know what? I’m going to refresh
this on my little uh chat one. I’m just going to step away, guys. Maybe keep the chat going.
I need to get Joey to fix that up for me. Okay, riders. Uh, back we go here. Trying
to make sure everything is working here, guys. I’m not really sure what’s working. Um,
zero comments. Where is my live commentary? Uh, I need to come here right now, guys. We’re just getting sorted out
here. I’m really lost right now. Uh, okay. Everyone’s saying I’m back. Everything
looks fine. Uh, are we past? Yeah, we’re past the sprint. Sorry, guys. Okay,
guys. I’m just trying to see. I’m really struggling here because I’ve created a
new live stream. I’ve also edited a stream upstairs. I’m trying to find out. Yeah.
Okay. So, I’ve just got notification from YouTube that my stream was interrupted.
So, I think they just shut it down. Oh. Oh, this is this is frustrating here. So,
here’s what I’ve just read, guys. I’ll try to give you an update from uh the site here currently.
And this is something I wish I knew. And so, this is all learning, guys. 1 minute 5 second
gap. We still got our five riders up front. We’re through the sprint point that Garcia Cortina won.
It’s 1 minute 4 seconds now. Back to the Pelaton. No one’s off the back. It’s going to get hot here.
I got I’ll tell you guys exactly what I’m reading um from my email here. Hi, inside world. Due to
a copyright match, your stream was interrupted. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Uh, streams
are interrupted when copyrighted content is detected. It’s four years old. Wouldn’t have
thought it was still copyright protected, but if it is, that’s fine. Um, after
copyright material no longer is detected, streams are automatically reenabled. So, at this
point, I don’t even know what you’re watching. I’ve created a secondary stream during
that panic to get it going again. I’ve also edited my original stream, so I don’t
know what’s going to happen at the end. Uh, maybe you guys can watch all the videos. Um,
what I need to do next is I need to pull this up. I got to find out what I’m looking at.
Okay, we’re in the right spot. I need to pull Yeah, I’m actually looking for the new
stream I’ve created and I don’t see it. So, I guess I just got to hang out here
and try to get this baby going again. Uh, I’ll check the emails as we’re here. I’m hoping
I see a new one soon. So, yeah, I actually made a brand new stream. I was I was trying to
edit the old title. I was using an old title, some race I did a while ago. I’m like, that’s not
the right race. Of course, it’s not showing up. So guys, just let me know uh somewhere somehow that we’re anywhere on here. I may
have to hang out here for a little bit uh live streaming. So, you’re going to see all
this for now. Uh let me just get back here. So, yeah, I’ve all the viewers are gone,
guys. That’s fine. Uh we’ve screwed this up. Everything’s working.
I think we’re past the sprint. Sad. Doug saying sad. No, no music,
no fun, just rules. I’m okay with it. Did our host have to abandtor? No, I’m
back. YouTube police is in action. Uh, okay, we’re back, guys. On your new
stream, all looks good to me. So, um, okay. So, Tony, Tony, can you check
the thumbnail on the new stream? Um, it’s going to be some weird stream. It
probably won’t say anything to do with tour France because that’s what I’m trying to
figure out where I’m at. Uh I don’t even see that stream anywhere and I’m trying to stay
focused on the race guy. Looks like we have UAE on the front. Neils Plet uh working with
Alpison here. Uh 46.7 kilometers to the finish. Let’s see. Maybe I got to go to YouTube
myself and see what I’m streaming. I’m just trying to get to
the notification of it. So, I think technically if I would have just
stayed there, um, I would have been okay. So, let me go here. I need to go to my YouTube
studio, I guess. I I don’t even know where to go right now. Live streaming. This is why we need a
full production crew. Um, yeah, it’s not that one. I have no idea where this new uh live
stream is. Okay, I’m gonna I’m going to give this just a little bit more work
and then I’m going to stop doing this. I’m going to just keep going forward. So,
yeah, it says Oh, it does say back up. So, I don’t This is really weird to me. Really
weird. So, I’m I’m joining my my YouTube stream again. Let’s keep the volume down
here. So, guys, now we know. Lesson learned. Uh, I got to skip through this. I need to get that
chat open again. And okay, this says live here, guys. I got to open the chat panel here. I think
we’re back, guys. So, absolute malfunction at the junction. Ring a ding-ding dong dandy. Uh, you
just got clos line in the center of the wrestling ring after being bounced off at three times WWF
style. But we’re back, folks. Um, so yeah, it says tour to France 2025 stage 7 back up live. I think
that’s Joey Jojo doing that for us, guys. So, um, let’s try to rock the viewers back up. I
see 62 riders in the mix now, guys. Are we back? Back live now. Okay. On your new stream. Yeah. So,
Tony, you’re saying they’re on your new stream and all looks good to me. Doug Dave, they took you out
for the money. Yep. They they took me down quick, guys. Same title. Uh yeah, I probably called
it something similar, but I didn’t put backup live commentary. So I think that’s Joey Jojo
fixing that. I raced upstairs uh because guys, I’ve never had to do this before. And uh I pulled
that video. I opened up the editor in YouTube and I’m trying to fix this on the fly knowing you guys
are down here and the stream’s just failing away, right? Uh, I edited out that last chunk and
deleted it and saved as a new video. I said, “Okay, I’m getting rid of it. You don’t want
me to use it, that’s fine, guys. I’m cool with copyright. I’m cool with it.” I just didn’t
think that was even a copyright issue. Um, the music one that happened a couple days ago,
it was very easy to fix. It was more like a little jingle, but from the email we’ve received,
they’ll just fire it back up and once you stop streaming copyright stuff. So, that’s actually
really good to know. Um, okay. So, everyone, that’s right. That’s right, dude. Tony here
saying, “Everyone falls off their horse or bike in this case. It’s how you get back up.” Uh, what
is important? Doug Day commentary while showing a clip shouldn’t have been taken down. Yeah, Doug,
I can kind of see what you’re saying there, too, because there is I guess there’s a thing. And
guys, that’s why there’s a lot of stuff I’ve never done on YouTube. Joey Jojo will back
me up on this. I think she’s commenting now. Uh uh. She says it didn’t work. The saving edit
thing. Yeah, I think it just relaunched itself back up. Let’s go, guys. 89 as swoosh kid saying
here. Come on, Yonas. Let’s go. Come on. Uh Doug Day here is saying fair rice fair use is not
copyrighted. That’s right, guys. So you Doug, I agree with you there now, man. You’re making me
think about that. Uh so you can stream a video, a music video, and if you’re interacting
with it, giving your review on it. Oh, check out the drums here, man. They sound
fantastic. He’s doing a a 78 sound time signature here. Blah blah blah. you won’t get
copyright for that. So, technically there, maybe I wasn’t violating copyright and it was
just like a an algorithm that kicked in and said, “Hey, man.” And they hadn’t noticed me doing my
thing yet. I don’t know. Whatever. We’ve learned. Let’s move on. Uh, even commentators
get you. I got mine today, folks. Um, yeah, Joey saying, “I think the fair use thing
needs to be limited to like three to five seconds.” I know when a lot of guys do their music
reactions, they play like about 20 seconds and they generally flip things around. Uh Joey Jojo
has said to me, she goes, “Why don’t you do some like look backs on old race videos and uh talk
about them, commentate?” I really like to do that, but I’m always like, “I don’t know if I’m allowed
to. Like, am I allowed to look back at the 1993 Tour to France uh individual time trial? Is that
fair usage? if I’m putting my own commentary on it, shutting all the other sound off. I don’t
know. Otherwise, I’d be doing it, guys. So, we’re back in the race here. Average speed after
3 hours. Check this out, guys. Average speed after 3 hours is 48.5 km an hour. Insanity. So Jonathan
Milan did finish ahead of his uh main rival rival for the green jersey, Binyam Germay for fifth
place. So he got sixth place. Bing got seventh. Let’s get the stream going again, guys. We’re at
70 now. I think we can still grow it up again. Unfortunately, I think we had 700 people watching
the stream at that point. Uh all good, though. Uh Joey saying you need to edit it though and not
show directly from the link and overlink something with credits. I don’t know. Annoying. Yeah, I
dudes. We’re doing it all on the fly. It’s all good. Uh Ruben’s saying that Michael Holler
was dropped out the back with cramps. Okay, good to know. Yeah, it’s coming up right now.
Holler dropped with 42 km to go. The Pelaton trail by 1 minutes. I did see something here.
head-to-head. So guys, not the numbers you were kind of expecting to see, and that’s because it
was an uphill sprint. Jonathan Milan at 49.2 km an hour. Bingham Germay at 47.6. It’s a long tour
to France, guys. Lots of points to be gathered. Uh they just need to stay close to each other.
So Bingham did exactly what he needed to do, finishing directly behind. So here he is
right here. Exactly. The first five points, five sets of points were gone. Jonathan got
sixth place. Bingham, I’m going to air quote it, lost to Jonathan there. Still got nine
points. One point, not a big deal. Um, all those points count, but it’s a long tour.
Jonathan has to stay healthy. Ah, okay. So, now we got four riders left in the front group here.
Four riders left in the front group. Marco Holler, I might have said Michael before. Marco Holler
for twodoor cycling is falling out. Uh hopefully he gets over that cramp really quick. Uh he’s
only 8 seconds ahead of the Pelaton. Pelon is within less than one minute now. Things are going
to get hot as we get towards the mirror. Guys, let’s grow it back up. 81 watching now. Boom
boom time. Uh yeah, guys, smash the like button if you can. We got to get this growing back up.
And actually, I don’t even know what happens to my other stream. You know, guys, there is
some uh you know, it’s doing these videos takes time and effort. Uh I don’t know if that
thing is just going to be ineligible now for it, but that’s just the way it is. We’ve learned.
And there’s been several times people have said, “Hey man, can you show us the live?” Absolutely
not. I cannot show you the live video. Uh there’s probably a way you can acquire access to the
rights. It’s probably a lot more expensive than uh I guess it would be the same as this. Let’s say
you go watch a UFC fight, you can watch at home for $50. Too expensive, but whatever. Um the bars
when they show it to you, they’re probably paying 20 times that to have the rights to rebroadcast
and show it to you locally uh inside that bar. They can’t just pay 50 bucks and show it to you.
They probably try to, but they’ll get caught. Um, okay. Ruben saying, “Everyone like the video.”
Okay, Mark Dowing’s back. Good to see Mark here. Hey, Mark. Brand new here, guys. So, you must
have been watching before. Uh, just kind of hiding in the comments. Let us know where you’re
from and what you’re up to and how long you’ve been cycling. Uh, Joe 512. Joe, you just joined
at the right time. The stream got taken down for a little while. Uh, I was a naughty boy and showed a
video I shouldn’t. Uh, he’s saying, “Good morning, all cycling fans. Guys, we can still regrow
this baby. Let’s get it going again. Had a lot of people hanging out before. Let’s get it back
up. Looks like a hot day out there. Uh 27° right now. Riders pouring water and it’s getting lumpy,
folks. It’s getting lumpy. Let’s take a quick look at the map again right now. I did just see there
it looked like uh there was a bin group out the back there. Looks like the sprinters are falling
out now. Here it is. Let’s look group the green jersey group. So Jonathan Milan’s there, but
right with him is Bingham and uh Marco Hollow, who was suffering from the cramps. Arnold Dele and
the guy with the hardest name to say at the tour, Van Stint Martins Dyke. Vans Stint Martinsky.
It’s not that hard. We can say that. So we got five riders out the back. Uh they’re just going
to lose time all day. We got the two biggest sprinters in the tour right now hanging out back
here. They’re going to ride together, probably have a good time together. Uh Marco Holler is
going to be getting a rub down on the fly trying to get the cramps out of his legs. Pelaton here
consists of 167 riders and we got our fourman breakaway up front Gant Thomas final tour to
France looking fantastic. Let’s get it folks. Um let’s see what’s going on here, guys. Yeah, Milan
stretching out back. Joe 512 is saying hi to uh Joey Jojo from Southern California. Joey would
die to live in Southern California. She believes that she’s been cursed in this life and that she
was rightfully destined to to live in Southern California. I would be saying like the Palm Desert
area myself. Um Wade saying no. Colin just Colin just went out for an insane 30 km round bike with
uh three cat five climbs. Was fantastic. Yeah, guys. Just took a little break there. Uh it was
a special live stream for uh private members. Um Tony’s got a good one here, Tony. Tony, this is
very very relevant at this moment. Uh Tony C, as you get older, sometimes your stream fails. You got it, Tony. You got it, bro. Uh pat
on the back for St. Martin Stike and Tesfu is here supporting Aratraa. I think the
green jersey is going to drift away today folks. They are currently 2 minutes behind
the lead group, almost a minute behind the Pelaton. Uh there will be no sprint points
remaining. The sprinters are over for today between the top two sprinters. Uh those 50
points are getting snagged by someone else. Watching a replay here now showing the rear
of the Pelaton. You can see Jonathan Milan and Bern Burmay riding side by side. Looks
like they’re talking to each other. Dude, you want to just pull back? I think Arnold
De’s there, too. The lotto rider. All three of them are having a chat. They’re like, “You
good?” Yeah, we’re good. Shut her down, boys. I swear that’s what they’re saying to each other.
That’s my story. And it might actually be true. Uh Remco, he’s just been hidden all
day. Do you know the camera? Here’s Marco Holler. He’s Yeah, obviously
he was struggling with his cramps and I think he’s falling. Yeah, he’s falling
back out of the Pelon now going towards the uh the sprinters group. Remco, they’ve barely
shown him. The camera’s been on Yonas for like 1 second today. All we’ve seen of Tatty is just
the yellow jersey floating along back there. five or six riders back behind the UE riders. Actually,
it looks and actually today it’s not Tatty, it’s uh Matthew Vanderpole cuz I’m going to say here,
I’m like, why is he so close to this Alpison rider? It’s Matthew riding beside probably Dillier
right now. Uh coming up on the left hand side, I’m seeing a lot of Arca riders coming up.
A lot of our Ka riders getting into the mix. Oh, that’s right. Remco had his
best domestique abandoned today. Uh, could be a problem for the rest. Um, I
did see that earlier, guys. I’m kind of like brain scattered right now. So, I
can’t remember who that was right now. Oh, yeah. Love this guy back in the day. Tor
Hushov, the reigning world champion that year. They’re talking about one second uh gaps between
first and second place. Cadell Evans won the stage four, the Mr. De Bratana that year. Moving
up to second place in the overall standings, just one second behind Hushov. Uh yeah, that
guy, he was fantastic, that Norwegian rider. See where we are. So, as you can see here,
we’re working our way southwesterly towards uh the village. There is a climb right here
through the town. There’s a town. There’s a town here called Geradan. Uh I’m butchering that.
I know that. They come through that one first. The actual climb of the Murray Bratannia starts right
after this intersection. Works its way straight. Swings to the right slightly. We cross the start.
We cross the finish line for the first time. We keep continuing on on the circuit in a
counter in a clockwise direction. Join back on where the actual climb, it’s a 2 kmter long
climb, starts. You’re right at this intersection and we climb upwards again to the finish line.
So hopefully no one thinks they won the first time around. That’s happened so many times
at races. It’s insane. Uh really cool here rider offering a bottle to the EF rider out
on course. Love seeing that kind of stuff. probably like you’re thirsty, man. Here’s
a bottle. Uh workload and the breakaway. Uh they’re showing right now basically everyone’s
at 21 20%. These guys are all working. They got one last compatriate right less compatriate
right now with the loss of Marco Holler. Let’s keep getting it, boys. Let’s keep
getting it. Back to the race itself here. Checking out the gaps. We’re going to zoom in a
little bit now, guys. I’m hoping here at the end we can get a bunch of people jumping back in. Uh
79 watching right now. Hit the likes. Joey saying good morning to everyone. Ah, yeah. Perfect.
Tony’s got it. It’s a bad dri burrito day. I had a bad burrito. Um Oh, Matia can uh Kat Katanio.
Matia Katanio. He was out earlier today. They said he was ill. They think bad burrito day. Yeah. So,
he had the bad burrito. I feel like I’ve had one, too. Uh Joe 512, thumbs up all around. So, Joey
Jojo uh thinks she’s got my stream fixed up. I thought I’d done it, but I have edited videos
one time before in you. So, you can edit a video inside YouTube. Uh I forget what I was trying to
do. I can’t remember. But it’s it’s clunky. And when you save it, the save process is really
it’s like almost like a three-step save. So, I kind of passed the laptop back to Joey
and said, “I think it’s saved, you know, and it it doesn’t look like it’s saved.” Come
downstairs. The stream has resumed itself. Um, I’m reading the email and then I just see uh now
the stream’s got a different name under the name. I don’t know where the other stream went. Where
did my other stream go? Does it exist? I’ll just delete it afterwards. Uh, and yes, everyone,
please always hit the like button. Helps other people find the video to watch along. Like,
share, comment. Scotty Mack in the mix. Scotty, you missed all the drama this morning. The stream
was interrupted. Uh, and we’ve gone through some issues trying to get things going again. Scotty
Mcool here. Buy me a coffee supporter. Thank you so much, Scotty. Scotty’s just up. Scotty, uh,
where you from again? Are you a West Coast guy? can’t remember now. Uh it’s currently 7:51 in the
morning here. After this, I will be scrambling to figure out um what happened. Yeah. So, basically,
it’s just a live stream copyright notice. Your stream was interrupted. So, that’s good to know.
Next time I don’t need to panic. However, the problem is that live stream uh guys, there’s like
Google ads associated with this. So, it’s the only way I get anything out of doing this besides the
fun that I have. It’s a little extra for me. Uh, if that’s gone, the whole video gets just goes to
zero. So, going through a huge roundabout now. Uh, we’re 57 seconds behind the leaders who are
currently at the coat. De Armour, where is that going to be? Still heading in this direction.
It’s going to start getting really heated up now. Teams are going to be thinking about going on
the break. Uh, Vocalon’s team very present at the front end. UAE Alpasin and Vocalon team, Arca
B&B hotels up front. Uh, looks like we got some riders out the back. And Remco has had a little
bit of issue off the back, guys. He does have a rider with him. Actually, just notice now that
that Crease Botech Biotech company is right on uh the white jersey leader there, Remco.
Four riders up front. The F rider having a good stretch. Alex Bodin has his foot out of the
pedal swinging his leg back and forward. Yeah, there’s going to be a massive amount of attacks.
Oh, Scotty Mack, Denver, Colorado. Scotty, we could have met you in Denver. Uh we were
just in Denver. Uh end of June for uh Metallica. We actually caught a Rocky’s Colorado Rockies
Dodgers ball game there. Scotty, just so you know, when I’m in Denver, like when we flew in, I’m
like feel like I’m flying into Calgary. you’re kind of like nestled up against the mountains. But
guys, on the east side of Denver, it is the mile high city. It’s uh probably 2,000 ft higher up in
elevation than Calgary is. Uh Calgary’s I think Calgary is around 3,400. So it’s probably yeah,
just under 2,000 ft. And um but the east side of Denver pan flat, it’s farming, ranching, same as
Calgary. You go to the west side of Denver. The mountains just take off. Rocky Mountains, baby.
The Rocky Mountains. Uh yeah, downtown Denver is a gong show. Uh I’m wondering if we’re going to
get back over 100 viewers again. We’re sitting at 86 right now. I feel like it’s 4:30 in the
morning time again. Once you lose that stream, guys, people are looking where they can watch and
listen. I’m hoping they come back. Uh yeah, Scott, it was a lot of fun. A lot of fun. Downtown was
crazy cuz we couldn’t get a taxi out of there. That was a long day. The first day, uh, downtown
Denver is kind of ruled by Uber. Uh, I went to, we were hiking around trying to find out how to get
out. Uh, I said, I’m going to ask the concurge at the Four Seasons. Maybe Scotty knows where I was.
I was on I don’t even know which direction we were facing. And he says, “No, dude.” He goes, “They
don’t come down here.” I’m like, “What do you mean they don’t come down here?” He says, “Just
Uber down here.” I’m like, “What?” We crossed over to another hotel on the other side. two concier,
they told me the same thing. They said, “Dude, you need to walk that way. You need to get to Union
Station, uh, which is on Wire Coupe or something. Got there, found a couple with luggage.” I’m like,
“Are you guys going to the airport?” They’re like, “Yeah, we are.” They’re like, “This is the train
you want. A train, Amtrak. Let’s go.” We got out of there as fast as possible. Uh, Vizma rider
off the back here. T-ponoot just going back to the car. Looks like he’s grabbing his last drink
of the day. Give you some time checks here, guys. uh 1 minute 3 seconds from the breakaway
group of four back to the Pelaton. Uh the green jersey group which only consists of
it’s growing bigger now uh is 2 minutes 51 behind overall Marco Hollow with the cramps
uh Germine Jonathan Milan competitors in the jersey here. We saw Arnold Dele earlier
with them. The three of them were lined up across the road having a chitchat and they
were probably saying to each other, “Man, do you just want to take it easy now?” “Yeah,
let’s do it.” And so they just pull a parachute, they jump out the back. Uh they are showing a map
right now with the wind direction. I know they’re just been showing the finish here. So the Mir
Dean is just kind of a big hill. Big hill that just comes up out of the countryside. It’s not
a massive climb, but it’s very famous at the tur of to France. uh just uh 1.9 2 km long. I think
it’s 129 mters of climbing. Uh I think average at 6%. Max 12 13%. Will these four stay away
today? I’m not even sure if they can do that. Scotty Max saying it here. Yeah, downtown Denver
sucks. Yeah, I didn’t want to say that, Scotty, but yeah, it sucked. Uh just the fact that we
were like, “Okay, we’re done. We saw the we flown from Calgary into Denver and it’s a really
easy flight. The coolest thing is Calgary is a hub for the states. So we have a like a US customs
hub directly in our airport. One time I asked the customs guy, I go, “Am I on US soil right now?”
He goes, “Yeah, kind of.” Uh they all live in Calgary. So we do our customs in Calgary. So that
takes that stress out of it. Then we go and chill out and have some food before the flight. 2 hour
2our 5minute flight to uh Denver. Easy landing, easy airport. Uh, what are all those tunnels there
for, Scotty? Why do they have weird murals in the airport? Strange questions. Um, raced to the
hotel, changed quickly, Ubered downtown, went to the Rockies game. Joey drank a massive beer way
too quick. Uh, we stumbled around downtown, had some strange random hot dogs on the street, took
a scooter, uh, what do you call it? rickshaw ride around. Uh the guy had a little bit bo that wasn’t
fun. Then we were like, “Okay, we need to get out of here. Uh let’s call taxi.” None available.
So we actually called a taxi company. He goes, “I’ll send someone to you in 20 to 30 minutes.”
And then we’re just waiting and waiting. I’m like, “This doesn’t seem right. I hadn’t even seen a
taxi yet.” So we started walking towards that Four Seasons. And the guy says, “They don’t come
down here. Uber only.” Confirmed with another guy. Get to Union Station. Get out of there. That
was such a long day. I I yeah, I wasn’t thrilled about that part. Um yeah, Scotty saying, “Getting
around Denver is a clown show. Hit me up next time you’re in town.” Will do, Scotty. Uh Pelaton
licking their chops, chasing their prey. Yeah, they’re going to bring them back. They’re not
going to let these guys escape all day long. Uh as you can see on screen, I’m just keeping on the
screen right here now. The Kotu Vage Deir Dean, that’s the smaller cat 4 climb. Then we do the cat
three downhill. Do our leap, which is our loop, which is gradually downhill. Ever so slightly,
probably my I don’t know, one to two% downhill. Take a hard right hand corner. That corner is
going to be super important right here. Let’s take a look here. I’m going to zoom in for you
guys. So, here’s the climb through town. The start is at this intersection. That’s where
they actually started at. We climb, we climb, hit the top. This stuff is all gradually downhill,
maybe one or two% downhill. Up until this point, this right hand corner here, this is the one I’m
talking about. This is where you want to be at the very front of the pelaton kicking as hard
as you possibly can. Uh it will be fast coming through here, but everyone’s going to get jammed
up on this corner here. Uh some of these corners back here are going to be important, too. Uh if
you’re too far back in the Pelaton, you’re going to lose like 10 seconds right there uh with the
Pelaton trying to navigate that corner. That’s more than a 90° turn. It’s more like 120 150° turn
there. Uh almost a hair pin right in your face. Uh yeah, Joey saying Seattle’s downtown smell has
the worst. Yeah, I agree 100% with that. That was pretty nasty. Uh, Scotty Mack, Denver. Strange
place. Google airport. Conspiracies galore. Yeah, they apparently they spent years building all
these tunnels for the airport that know what the airport does. And they have some very,
very strange murals right in the airport, which I never got to see. Um, I was looking
for them. Landing was fine. Leaving was a bit of a gong show. Uh, I asked the guy. The lineup
was so long. It looked like it was a three-hour lineup. I’m like, “Are you kidding me? Are
we going to make our flights?” I thought it was because of the concert. I asked it. The
line actually kept moving the whole time, but it was so gigantic. Uh, I asked the dude,
you know, who takes your passport. I said, “Hey, dude, is this normal? Is this cuz of Metallica?”
He goes, and he looked at his watch. He goes, “8 to 10:00 any day of the week.” He goes,
“Absolutely normal. Sixth busiest airport in the world. Gadouch.” I’m like, “Got you,
dude. See you later. Have a good day.” Um, yeah. Uh, Joey saying here, Oklahoma was all
about the conspiracies. I’m big time into that stuff. Hardly. Hardly. Uh, Scotty Mack lived
in Seattle from 96 to 20 2014. Loved it. Yeah, I think Seattle’s a really nice city. Uh, we
stayed right down by uh, Pikes Market. Just awesome. The original Starbucks is like right
across the street from it. Um, two blocks away, it’s like drug use central. Uh, and I don’t
want to be mean to Seattle because Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is
exactly the same. Great city, but there’s areas where it’s just allowed to
happen. Uh, so as a tourist, it’s like, ooh, are we in the right place? We were in the right
place, but you know, the drug use is right there. Uh, yeah. We had a good experience in
Seattle. Metallica was great there, too. See, Scotty, you know, Scotty knows. Scotty,
we need to get a channel going together. We can uh discuss uh pressing issues of the world and
the conspiracy world. How about that? Joey singer here. Oh, lordy. You and Colin could be full bros
then. Cycling commentary. Cycling and conspiracy. Yeah, Joey loves a true crime. Okay, guys, let’s
get to it. We haven’t managed to branch over 100 again. We got our nine likes back. Let’s just keep
going, guys. Uh hopefully we got the I don’t know what they’re going to do to my stream today.
We’ll see, guys. We’re back tomorrow, though, so don’t worry about it. Back tomorrow. I’ve
got the fantastic Calgary Stampede tonight. Uh out till probably 1:00 a.m., sleeping by 1:32 and
right back up for probably another 10 after 4:00, 4:30 start tomorrow morning. Joey, please do not
schedule anything for Saturday afternoon. I don’t want to hear about anything tomorrow. I will
be sleeping the race. Let’s check it out. Guys, the leader’s doing a really, really good job at
staying away. That’s probably due to the fact that right now, if I’m looking at the profile,
generally downhill through this area, they’re able to keep the speeds quite high. Leading group
1 minute up the road, 1 minute 7 up the road. Uh the green jersey group is 4 minutes and 25
seconds behind them right now. So they’re going to lose time. They don’t even care. That’s not
what they’re here for. They’re here to win the big sprints. The biggest sprint today is going
to the first person that crosses the line at the finish. 50 points for the green jersey. That
could be a match of Vanderpole. Uh while I’ve got that going on, let’s look at the rankings
again then. Uh for the green jersey currently, general rankings. Uh so it is Jonathan Milan
right now. If Matt if Matthew Vanderpole uh wins the stage today or is anywhere near the front, he
will be back in the green jersey. He will be back in the green jersey. How do I know that? We come
to the road again and okay, I thought I already did this. Stage seven, we go to the sporting
stakes here at the finish. Green jersey. First place gets 50 points. Second place 30. Uh this
point here it looks like he would need first or second to get it. Possibly third. I forget
the numbers now. Do that again. Points jersey. Oh, he could even third place. Uh Matthew
Vanderpole would be back in the green jersey today. So there’s going to be a lot of jersey
swapping today going on. anything, folks. Just hang out here. Back to the map. You
can see they’re coming to the town now. First climb is going to be starting very
soon for the Grand Thomas group. It’s only category 4. One point available
in the G uh for the uh KM jersey, Polka Dot jersey. You can see that the green
jersey group is kind of taking a chill back here. Going to watch the race. Zoom back in folks. Yeah, the Mirab Data is in sight
now. Uh they hit town with 20 km to go and take on the small cat 4.
They leave town, take on the mirror, do a 15 km loop back to town to the finish.
Very close to the finish now, guys. Here’s uh just a quick little look back here.
Murdered Bratana 2021. Matthew Vanderpole. Stick up here with the race. Keep
the chat going. 90. We’re at 90, folks. Let’s just get back to 100.
I’ll be pretty happy about that. Uh oh, I can see Joey’s got some good
description. Yeah, guys, what we’re doing there, um, I I don’t need to say this out loud. I’m
not trying to do anything wrong here. I’m not trying to break any copyrights. Just kind of
stuff happens. Get back on your horse. Um, what is what is the saying? One of
the greatest things of all time. Uh, you wouldn’t even know who it’s from. Um,
it’s not the setback, it’s the comeback. It’s something like that. Uh, one of the
guys from Jersey Shore, Mike the Situation, said it. Uh the the comeback is Yeah. You
have a setback, it’s all how you come back. Um yeah, Vanderpool, the new Peter Sagon. Probably
he’s probably better for an explosive finish uphill. Although Peter Sagans has some good ones,
too. 2015 UCI World Championships of enrichment. Peter Sagan went on an attack there uphill. uh
I believe was 23rd Street maybe. I know all this from Zift Guy because Zift Guys because that route
is on Zift and you can do the same thing that uh Peter Scan did. Uh I’ve got Joey here
giving me a donation. Thank you very much, Joey. She’s wanting everyone to
hit the like button if they can. Uh Joe’s asking where can he find the elevation
change for the Cat 4 and Cat 3 hills. Joe I was using Hill Climber last night which looks like
a really really good platform. Probably going to subscribe to it. It was all just European climbs
though so I’m like oh I didn’t know that. Um this morning I was using my coal. So what I can do
here Joe I know you you came on the chat late today. What I can do here is let me turn this back
on. Don’t want to show that one ever again. Uh, that’s the one that got me in trouble last time.
I think I want to go here. Is it this guy? Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s a separate window.
What I’m going to do is I’m going to shut uh Discord down there. And I want to show you this
here, guys, as we’re coming into the finish. Now, I don’t think it’s going to show me.
Yeah, I’ve lost it. Oh no, I got it, guys. H Yeah, sorry guys. It’s having trouble resetting
itself. Uh yeah, so uh I think it’s Joe asking. You can find the profiles of the climbs. You can
see them in the tour to France website itself. Uh what are you guys seeing here? Okay, guys, I got to get focus here. We’re in the town right
now on the Cat 4 climb. Uh, this climb here, I think, is like 1.4 kilometers long, pretty
gentle, only one point available on it. Um, so you can find them on Hill Climber. It has
really, really good details. Scotty Mack, bro, thank you so much. Uh, you’ve already supported me
through buying me a coffee, so love it, dude. Uh, I’m trying to rebound here on the stream today.
I’m upstairs confused, a little bit of stress, trying to stay calm. Uh, it’s like, “Okay, bring
it down. Don’t worry. Things are good. Life’s not over. Moving on.” It’s actually warmed up to here
now. It’s 29° C here on course right now, folks. The flags of Bratton just waving everywhere.
We’re in the middle of the first climb today. This is only the category 4 right now. Actually,
they’re they look like they’ve just finished it. They have just finished it again. That’s a
replay. Uh, it’s not a tough climb here, guys. Now, we’re going to be starting the ascent. It’s
coming up right away. We’re actually the group one is on it. I need to get back here and show
you this, guys. So, like I said, it’s going to go off here now. The the chasers have just cast
passed through the first part of the climb. Um, these guys up here, there should be four of
them still. Ooh, what’s going on here? What’s going on here, folks? We have one rider up front.
Where’s everyone? So where’s Gurant Thomas going to get back here? Oh wow. So you and Kostu went by
himself. He’s going up the the mirror de Brbertton by himself. Grant Thomas out the back right now.
I can see it happening right now. This is is this another EF? It’s an Arca rider. Arca B&B hotels
rider up the front right now. Uh it says he has a 24se second gap over Alex Vaine, the EF rider.
Be cool to see EF win again, wouldn’t it? But I’d love to see RKO win right now. Uh there’s a
couple of riders missing here. I’m not seeing all the riders from before. Garance out the back, so
it’s not showing everyone. There’d be too many to show here, I think. If we look at the map, though.
Let’s have a look. This will be Costu working his way up. It’s not showing the other few riders that
are in between right now. Group two is saying is Alex Baine. Uh here’s the main pelaton. Everyone’s
chasing. Matchu will be lighting it up right now, folks. Uh there is a group of 48 riders who are
already out the back. We haven’t even started the mirror yet. Look how things just bounced around
there. Now we’ve got the entire Pelaton chasing down Costume. Vizma Lisa Bike is driving the
front, folks. Vizma is trying to hurt Tatty here. Let’s let this settle down and see what’s going
to happen. They’ve now got a 32 second gap between Costu and the Pelaton. Uh there’s riders, there’s
48 riders in a group right behind the Pelaton and another group, uh the green jersey group out the
back. Uh okay, guys. Just trying to catch up here. Um oh, Crime Con. Are we getting on the crime
stuff here? Yeah, dude. Exactly, Scotty. Dude, I think we’re bros. Definitely bros watching
true crime videos. Sounds like my wife. She’s a dine true crime junkie. Oh, Joey watches
every She watches full uh court cases on TV. I walk in there, I’m like, “Yeah, I’m going
to probably die tonight in my sleep.” Uh, please don’t feed me supper. I may die the
next day. They are on the mirror right now, guys. 12 13%. This is where Mat Vanderpole won
it uh four years back. Doing the first ascent of the mirror right now. Uh there is a a group
up front 21 seconds ahead. I think that’s cost you. It is cost you for Archa B&B hotels. He’s
actually looking over his shoulder. Dude, don’t look back. Don’t look back. Get through these. The
The roads are just packed with people. Actually, a strong crosswind from the right hand side right
now. The baton flag’s blowing the flag of Scotland there as well. Two Scottish riders at this year’s
tour. Is it just two? I think it’s two. Flynn and only the Pelaton is in pursuit. Vizma on the front
driving hard, folks. Vizma seems to be doing a lot of work at the end of the stages. Uh looking for
where Tatty is right now. He’s kind of uh hard to spot right now because he’s not in the yellow.
He’s not in the polka dot right now. Uh not on the green. He’s not wearing any of those today.
So the Pelaton’s pick already picking up the other guys. Had a little bit of touch of wheels at
the back here. this further back in the pelaton. Pretty narrow road. Fans encroaching. Riders are
bump. Costume’s been caught. He should be getting caught right away here. Uh, it’s showing that
he’s solo, but I’m seeing him caught right now. Let’s see the leading group here.
It’s still got him as the leading group. Saying the Pelaton’s 20 seconds back.
Well, looks like it was caught to me. Ooh, and on the video feed here, I’m
seeing it looks like a certain Yates uh leading Yonas up the climb. Leading
Yonas up the climb in the 12% section. Uh that’s right. Joey’s got it guys. This is what you
say about anything in life. Okay, so this is some of the earlier guys. The EF guy being caught now.
This is Boding being caught by uh Vizma Lisa. The comeback is better than the setback. So no matter
what whatever you face in life, we’re over the top of the mirror right now. And it looks like right
now they’ve given it to Kosu. They still have him. He is still out front. Here we go. Ku gets two
points. Wellins gets one point. Wallen still wants the polka dot jersey. So guys, now we’re going
on a 15 km loop. Apparently it’s 15 km. I haven’t didn’t fully check that. Uh, I’m assuming from
where we cross the line here, we head out into the countryside again and it’s generally downhill all
the way all the way around. I think the key parts coming up here, um, they’re all going to be kind
of well, there might be attacks, but let’s say the pelon sticks together, key points where you might
want to be right near the tip of the spear is this sharp hair pin here. It’s going to slow down. so
much on that corner. Uh you’re going to go from 50th place to 150th place. Uh the next key point
will be on screen right now. You can see the green jersey group has just started the myrr de Britana
right now. But this right hand corner here, you do not want to be near the back of the pelaton
here if you’re going to contest for today’s win. Uh Vizma at the front, guys. Yonas second place
right now. Jonas, remember he was out of the tour just a few days ago. Uh I’m saying that very
sarcastically. Uh he was off by 2% on what any given day of the week, folks. Anyone can have a
bad day. So it must be so hard for those guys to answer the questions. So Yonas, what happened?
Are you feeling terrible? Do you feel like your turn to France is over? He’s just sitting there
the nicest guy on the planet. Oh yeah, I just didn’t feel good. I’m not sure why my legs failed
me. It’s just like, oh, the questions are brutal. Uh, come back is better than the setback. Thank
you, Joey. Yeah, Joey went to the Crime Con in Vegas. I didn’t go. I’m like, I can’t do it. Just
can’t do it. Actually, I think I was sick. Uh, John’s Chady. Thanks, John. Smash the like
button and click the bell so when Colin does another copyright, you’ll get notification of the
new replacement stream. Thank you, John. Guys, we’re back to 111 people. Thank you. Pelaton is
looking angry. Uh, Polka Dot jersey up there, too. Yonas right at the front. Just trying to
get a good look on Tatty here. Of course, he’s hard to spot today. Now we’ve got Matchu in
the yellow jersey. He’ll be easy to see, but we’ve got a UAE rider off the front. Two Vizma bike
Vizma Lisa bike riders. Then looks like another uh UAE rider. I’m assuming that’s Tatty there. Couple
more Vizma riders coming up to the front now. Um, let’s get back to here. Whoa, you guys are
getting into the crime stuff now. We’re starting a new crime channel here over on you. Oh, whoa,
whoa. We got a lot of talking going on here. Yeah, we love the I got Joey on the interrogation.
Scotty Mack a while ago. Some of the best stuff you’ll ever see on YouTube where they interrogate
people and the lies and the stuff they make up. It’s hilarious. is pretty much all we watch on TV
now besides Inside Cycling World, which we never really watch. Scotty Mack, dude, thank you so much
again for the super chat there, guys. Super chat is how you can help the channel out. The the
channel’s gotten beaten up today, but we’re back. The comeback is better than setback. Uh gap
here. Yeah, let’s check the gap. Tony C’s on it for me. Thank you so much, Tony. The gap here. Uh
whoa. What I’m seeing here now, everyone’s back together. Looks like Costu has been caught
at this point. I’m reading older messages. Uh, then we got a group of 19. Ben O
Conor’s back there, Valentine, Mius, uh, Nelson, Paulus. Let’s see how many are
on the Pelaton right now. 102 riders. So, the majority of the race is still up front.
They caught Costume. Uh, I’m really going to want to watch the map here and see how this
turns out. So, yeah, you can see it here. They’re on the front. Group two should be
the group of 19 riders. Sepus is back here. Shampus. Uh the time traveling young feller. Uh
Romeo Abad. He did really well on stage five. So they’re heading out of town here. Uh if we come
back to the profile, you can see it’s generally downhill. We’re going downhill ever so slightly
here. It’s kind of ups and downs in places, more downhill than up. As we get back to the
finish line though, you can see there’s a little bit of a lump. There’s a little bit of a problem
they got to take care of at the end here. I’m expecting a Matt Matu Vanderpole Watts Apocalypse
right at the very end, guys. Right before as they take that corner. Um, if I was to take that corner
at high speed, Tom Pitcock or Matthew Vanderpole, probably two of the best bike handlers out there.
I actually saw something yesterday talking about Kaden Grows, how awesome of a bike handler he is,
how he avoided an accident. I guess he’s got a huge mountain bike background, too. We’ve got uh
the UAE guys on the front. Visma’s up there. Arca is there. This is who we expect. Yeah, Scotty
Mack, you are the bomb. Tony CC and Pelton has gone to Jay Taylor, thanks get for getting in
here, man. Uh Jay’s back again. Just jumping in now. We’re getting to the end of the stage, guys.
We had a little bit bit of a malfunction at the junction. Colec Kane, thank you very much, dudes,
for your super chat here. Really appreciate it. Uh Cole Kane is a supporter already from Saudi
Arabia. Uh working over there. Oil and gas. Swoosh Kid is asking, “Has Lanny McDonald ever
been grand marshall of the Kyaku Stampede? Is that Dude, I’m positive he has been. I’m positive.”
Um, and Lanny is still local to this area, too. Yeah. Joey Joey saying cocaine. Love it. Thank
you so much, dude. Thank you. Ruben saying to the race, Colin. Uh, we’re on it, man. We are
on it here. Live tracking, folks. Let’s see it. Uh so you can see here our leaders, the main
pelaton 102 riders is on the general gradual descent on the uh clockwise loop being pursued by
19 riders here. Still 19, the Ben Oconor group. Third group coming up the hill. Uh I think that’s
Steph Cass. Tobias Foss is there. Mark Hershey’s in that group. That’s 48 riders there. They’ve
just gotten over the top the first time. And the green jersey group, Germi and Milan are back
here. Nine riders in total. It’s going to go nuts, guys. It is gonna go nuts. Let’s just stick
right here. We’re going to stick right here. Uh yeah. So, going around that final right
hand bend, I think you’re going to see a dude, tall, skinny dude. Um really nice legs, I
got to say. Uh he’s not in a gray jersey, folks. He’s in a yellow jersey. You’re going
to see an absolute mother of all bombs. explosion as he takes off around that corner. Uh
he might attack before it to get the lead into the corner. It is a 2 kmter run to the finish, so
it’s no joke. Um 2 km roughly 6 and 12% gradient. Currently we still have uh let’s
see 8.5 km to the finish here. Don Tony saying the fat ladies warmer.
That’s right. Yeah, Joey saying to Lanny, oh my god, L. He probably has been probably
multiple times. He’s so famous around here. Ruben saying that Vanderpole’s letting go
almost. Okay, I got to take a look at that. I thought I just saw him on screen here.
Uh he’s sitting about 20th back right now. Uh yeah, you’re right, Jay. Vizma trying to hurt Pogy
again. They tried to do it yesterday, too. I mean, I think, you know, when Yonas won last time, he
had a very strong team. He used his his team to beat up Pogy. That’s what happened last time. I
think they’re trying to redo that strategy from 23 uh 22 20 23. Arca very present at
the front. 7.5 km to go now, guys. Just keeping a close eye on this. Here’s
a lead group. All the big hitters here. Where’s Remco? He’s here. Valon, he’s here.
Where’s uh Yonas right now? Yonas is here. I can see him sitting fifth on screen
right now. Matteo Jorgensson’s here. Oscar only is here, guys. All Raj
looks here. These are riders. It’s kind of a day where a lot of riders
kind of blend away into the Pelaton. Oh, dude. Right here, Eric Gart. Uh,
new commenter. Uh, 100%. If I die, my wife did it. I swear she’s studying up with all
the true crime shows and morbid podcasts. Yeah, absolutely, dude. Uh, yeah, I come home.
I’m I’m worried I’m going to die every day. Yeah, it’s insane on YouTube. Uh I I do
enjoy the interrogations afterwards. Okay, it’s a little old now. I like to sit back and
watch a mindless zombie show. Uh Don saying good morning to Joey here. Yeah, guys, I did do a
a crime cycling video. Uh oh, what was her name? The one that won the Unbound race and Colin
Strickland. that whole series of events. Yeah, we’re not going to see Pogy right till the very
end when he’s sprinting for the win. Uh remember, I’m watching a little bit of delay here. Actually,
it looks like it’s they’re 3 km behind. So, I’m going to have to really pay attention to
uh the Twitter France site here and see what’s going on. See where they are on course. So again
guys, I I I think I’m going to keep it on this here because we’re going to see numbers pop up
as guys take off. This corner here is going to be really important. Some guys might start their run
right there. Make more of a long range attack. Uh to the top of the mirror, let’s try to get this
center for you. For the top of the mirror here, uh it’s a 2 km climb and then uh looks like about
a 1.5 km run over from that strong hairpin. These almost look like they’re on a one by one mile
grid to me. Having trouble telling possibly. That’s kind of what it looks like. Uh yeah,
I’m just going to catch up with the chat and busy busy guys. Busy busy. Thanks for everyone
coming back. 122 in the stream right now. Uh yeah, Pogy. We will see them. I mean,
Pogy could easily win this stage today, guys. Could easily win this stage on the front
right now. Let’s have a quick listen here. Oo, guys, we’ve been notified of a
crash. Jiao made down. Santiago, Petraa, Petrago are affected by
this. Costu was caught earlier and uh yeah, it’s getting smaller front. It’s
going to slowly start falling apart here. Uh, let’s take a look. 4.2 km. Still 102 riders
here, it’s saying, but it’s going to start splintering here very quick. So, we’re going to
find out more about that crash later. Hopefully, no one’s injured too bad. Let’s go to the map.
I think the map’s really important here today. They’re at that really sharp bend right now.
It’s coming up right now. Uh, I think this will be good for positioning here into the final.
Just all depends what they got left in the tank. Uh, Ashock’s asking, “What’s
the toughest stage?” Oh, dude, one of the mountain stages later where I think
there’s like uh a category one and two HC’s, two beyond categorizations in the same stage. They
look insane. Stage 10 looks brutal to start with. Oh, yeah. Joey did go through a kidney thing a
while back. Uh, he’s probably referring to me. with my little touch of a
kidney infection here. Uh yeah, you can find all the mountain stages. Yeah,
there’s a ton of them. Yeah, I’m seeing they’re finally showing the crash on screen. Uh looks
like about 10 riders down and they were in that main group. JCO Alula, that could be Eddie Dunar
there. I see two F education riders down. Ooh, one of the barring guys is holding his shoulder
already. motorcycle dudes trying to clear the carnage off the road. Bikes stuck together.
Yay. Uh guys, that 90 degree corner is going up and that’s why you’re probably seeing this gap
open up here. Now, uh I just said there was two EF guys in that crash. Look at this. We got Ben
Healey and Alex Bodis. Uh two F riders along with a star rider. That was Eric Moss. I saw a star
rider there. Uh I’m looking for Jaw Almeida. Is he up already? Hard to tell here, folks. I’m
waiting to see some updates here on the fly. Let’s see what they’re saying about the crash. I’ll try to see what they’re saying.
5 km to go. Mark Solair at the front. Trying to keep a good eye on this
and follow these groups. Okay, so there is a group of five chasing. Uh when that
crash happened, I saw more than five riders. So, some riders instantly got up and chased back on.
Oo, Eddie Dunar hit hard. If that’s Eddie Dunar, Jacob Alulu rider there. Bikes flying off into the
ditches. I can see Moistar riders going down. Two RK one lotto rider and maybe an RK rider there,
too. Could be another lot rider. Some of these riders are going to be waiting for bike fixes. Uh
there’s a pile of five or six bikes on the road and there is a rider laying in the road getting
medical attention right now. We have started the ascent of the murder Bratana for the second
time. Riders down in the middle of the road here, folks. Doing the climb right now. Let’s
see what we’re getting here, folks. Tim Wellins at the front in the polka dot jersey,
folks. Leading his way up the climb right now. Tatty directly on his wheel. Wonder if we can
show that a bit more. I can’t show you that. Uh I thought it would leave that small for us. But
you can kind of see the mirror on the side here. We can zoom in. That’s what we’re doing. We’re
going to use it this way. See how to use it. We learn something new every day, folks. Uh no, we
can’t do that. Maybe I got to click on it. Sorry, guys. Over the top here. Who’s it going to be
starting the steepest part of the climb now? Remco and Yonas are going with Tatty at
1.7 kilometers to go. Tatty accelerates. Remco and Yonas able to hang with them. We’re
just going to have to watch like this for now, guys. In the front group right now, eight
riders. Tatty, Remco, Yonas, Oscar only as usual. Felix Gaul for Dathlon, Jonathan Narvay, Roma
Gregar, and uh Laurance from Inos Grenaders. They currently have a 24se secondond gap back
to the yellow jersey of Matthew Vanderpole. So, Matthew will not be doing a repeat of uh 2021.
Uh this I I right now I’m throwing my money on Tatty. Uh, I wouldn’t have said that earlier on,
but the fact that he’s up front in that group, this is going to be a day for Tatty here. Unless
he wants to keep Nah, they’re not going to worry about that. Tim Wellins is in the polka dot
jersey right now. I think he’ll still retain it. Valon’s chasing hard. Matteo Jorgensson’s
there as well. There is a gap, Matt. The It’s going to be split all up again today, folks. Eight
riders still at the front. One kilometer to go. the group back here. We’ve got 13 riders chasing
including Matthew Vanderpole, Raj Lick having a great day. Enrich Moss, Tiss Bonut, uh Simon
Yates, Tim Wellins, Vout’s back. So, looks like Vout is recovering here. 900 meters to go now,
folks. Remember, it’s going to get We still keep climbing. It levels off at the top. Flat finish.
Watching a replay here of the attack by Tatty going off and how the riders reacted. Looks like
Remco was on his wheel quick. And then I’m looking at the live over here. 800 meters to go climbing
the mirror de Britana. Uh things have even shattered more. Raj now is in between the front
group of eight with six riders and the yellow jersey. So Matthew Vanderpole has drifted further
back. There’s 12 riders in that group back there. uh is showing a nice replay of Tim Wellins getting
to the front uh in the 12 13 actually it gets up to uh 15% in this section there in the replay. 600
meters to go 10 riders some of it’s people have gotten back on board folks. Kevin Vocalon is on is
back. I don’t think he was there before. I think he’s just made it back on. What a champ. What a
champ, folks. Kevin Bakalon back on. 500 meters to go, folks. Here we go. Put your money on the chip.
You want to win, folks. I think Remco is looking really good here. Again, this is not a high alpine
pass. 400 meters out at the moment. Uh the chat, there’s no way I can follow here right now.
I’ll catch up with that later. Keep the stream trucking for a while. We got 118 people in
the watch group right now, folks. Appreciate and I love all the comments. always believe is
back. I I’ve asked I think it’s a lady here. Okay, she’s talking about uh a setback. Oh, Tatty wins the stage, folks. I just missed
that by a second there. They’ve got Yonas listed as second here. We’re just going to let this
pop up. Oscar only in third. So, there were time gaps there. They’re popping up live. So, Tatty
finishes first. Uh Yonas on same time in second place. Oscar only the Scotsman uh potentially
future Grand Tour winner right here folks. Uh two seconds back. Tatty wins stage seven. Uh
Matchu wasn’t in the mix. That makes sense to me. Felix Gaul gets an impressive fourth place finish
and Matteo Jorgensson for Vizma is right there as well. Let’s have a quick look at the map again
here. We’re going we’re going to jump back here. Uh there was someone in the chat yesterday who
taught me how to do that. I had no idea how to get back. I just want to show you that the groups
are right now. So you can see there’s quite even with the tour of France from the live stream,
we know who the finisher is from here. They haven’t crossed the finish line yet. Uh actually,
yes, they have. That’s the yellow jersey. That’s Matthew Vanderpole coming in next. I wonder
if it’s going to jump to the finish right away here when I do this. when they cross the line,
does it just jump me out? We’re gonna find out. Let’s watch the standings. Looks like Matthew
Vanderpole finished at least 20 seconds back for the uh the stage today. So, yeah, uh Tatty and Yonas on the same time.
Another good confidence boost for uh Yonas, especially on a stage. I mean, everyone here knows
there’s a big difference between the two. Tatty, steep, short climbs, he kills it. Where
Yonas has been good in the past, not always, he’s beaten Tatty on longer, more grindy
climbs. Uh, so I think it’s a good sign for Yonas that he had the explosive power to
stick with Tatty. I’m going to jump back to uh all the rankings here. Let’s see what we got
going. This is for the stage, guys. This is for the stage. Let’s go through this. I’ll jump back
into the chat here. Uh Tatty Pagashar, Vingo, Oscar only for team picnic post. Love that team.
Felix Gaul, Matteo Jorgensson, Remco Aventipole, uh only lost two seconds overall today. Kevin
Bolon on two seconds for Airbnb Arca, sorry, Arca B&B hotels. I think I just made a new team
name up there. Apologize. Jonathan Narvez for UAE. Strong showing by him. Seven seconds back. Just
finally getting the replay here. As I’m looking at the replay, guys, there’s only two riders that
go. It’s Tatty and Yonas glued to his wheel. Uh Tatty gets the win. Great. Um but basically at the
finish line there, Yonas was halfwheeling them. Uh overlapping wheels right there. They Jonas is the
one that looked back to see how far of a gap do we have. Uh four or five riders finish in a group
right behind them. Uh let’s take a look here. Uh Laurance finishing for Inos Grenaders at 16
seconds. So yeah, two riders in the front group. Then it looks like we’ve got five in the second
group. 7 seconds we got Nyvez 15 seconds Laurance and then Johansson here for Unox Mobility. Let’s
keep going through these. Uh how far behind? Lipoitz here was 21 seconds back. Gregoire, these
two uh you know, young guns, guys of the future on same time today. 21 seconds. Skeleos looking good
at 21 seconds back. Uh Roick 21 seconds back. So don’t count the old guy out yet. Don’t count the
old ski jumper out yet, guys. 21 seconds back. Um I’m looking here. Matthew Vanderpole did not
have a strong finish. uh finished one minute and 20 seconds behind today. And again, I’ll say the
same thing about Yonas. Not sure why I did that. Uh these guys aren’t robots sometimes. I think uh
Matthew’s a Superman. Uh you can’t kill it every day. That’s just how it is. So, Matthew Vanderpole
finishedes 22nd overall today. Uh what an awesome stage. Uh I do want to jump back to the chat here,
guys. Got a about a 100 people watching right now. And I do want to read some comments here. I
think there’s some really good ones here. Uh yeah, so the newbie here, dude, you’re not nude.
You just you’re a new cycling fan. Uh yeah, there’s a lot of tough mountain climbing
stages. Uh or categorization stages. Uh I’ll take a look at that in a second. I’ll
tell you which one I think it’s going to be. Uh yeah, Joe’s comment always believe. Yeah, great
comments here. The comeback is always better than the setback. NBA Olympics name me the comeback
kid of the 2014 Winter Olympics. I got to look this up. Who are you? I don’t ever tell anyone
to Google my name, but the story is there. Okay, I’m looking. I’m going to look and find out who
you are. Uh I know you said in one of the first I think this is the third time you dropped
into the stream and I really appreciate it. We struggled with the stream today. We had severe
technical issues. I was a naughty boy apparently. Uh but I know you said that Calgary had really
fast ice. So for some reason I thought you were a speed skater. That’s what I was thinking
with the at the Calgary Olympic oval. That was my guess at first. I’m going to look you
up though. 2014 Winter Olympics. Uh Seth Cous saving himself for the mountains climbs.
I believe in that too. They need him for later. That’s the last guy that’s going
to be with Yonas all the way to the top. W it look better today too. Um Mvon 2 will be very hard because it’s
a long stage before we get to the bond two and is it a summit finish? Yeah, I
think the bond two this year is a summit finish. Uh there was one year where they
did the Bond two twice if you can believe that. I think that’s the stage I think
that Bon uh Boutard won it that year. That’s right. Uh Joe saying here, I think I
might have mentioned that uh 2003 Tour to France, Tyler Hamilton broke his collarbone like at the
very beginning of the tour two and still raced to fourth place against Lance. Tough crowd. Oh yeah,
Mo, that was the the young female cyclist. There was a crash in the loop. Um I’d say 10 riders went
down. I think about six or seven of them were up on their feet and there was a guy laying in the
road at the end. One guy was sitting in the road, one guy was laying be being attended by the medics
that were nearby. So, let’s see what’s going to happen here at the end of the stage today. Tatty
will be back in the yellow jersey. Match Matthew will uh Matthew Vanderpole will lose it. Let’s
see. Uh individual general ranking. Let’s do that next. Here we go, folks. Matthew Vanderpole, uh,
sorry, Tatty Pagacher, back in the yellow jersey. Second place, Remco. He’s now 54 seconds behind,
uh, Tatty. Kevin Valon at 111. Jonas at 117. So, Yonas lost nothing today. Uh, looks like Kevin’s
moved back up. Kevin was down further in the standings before with Matchu being up there.
Although this Yeah, there’s so many things bounced around. So, Matchu was first, now he’s in
fifth place. The day before he was in sixth place. Oscar only looking good here in seventh place. Uh,
Lipoitz looking fantastic in eighth. The two Red Bull riders here. Uh, that’s a really, really good
one-two combo here. I think this is going to be a powerhouse later in the tour. Skeleos rounding
out the top 10. Just going to finish off my chat. Yeah, I’m hoping uh your this might be the year
Jorgensson’s got a nice start to the tour. Um give as much assistance assist assistance
to Yonas as he can. How long can he hang on in those mountains? I think sometimes
you just learn how to ride differently, too. You ride above your level for
the cause. Uh Dawn’s clearing on Pogy. Uh Tony here saying Pogy knows he’s
the best on the best team. Just my humble. Yeah, dude. He is the best right now. Uh Joe saying here, “Hey ladies and gents, I
am going to share the link with Stra Riders I ride with.” Hey Joe, thank you very much.
More exposure the better. Uh if you guys want to share this with any of your friends,
please do so. They can watch the video later. Okay, so Kelly Gunther here, long track speed
skater. Okay. I’ve always loved long track speed skating. Uh, and all the stuff that happened the
at the Olympics. Who’s the main dude? Dan. That guy. You know, the American dude. Uh, I’m thinking
like Dan O’Brien or something like that. His whole family was speed skaters and he crashed at the
Olympics. I believe that I think that was before Cal. Maybe that was Calgary. Uh, I’m going to have
to look it all up. Wade saying he knew Tatty would win because of the Final Cut. That was suited
towards Tatty. To me, I was thinking it’s a Tatty Matthew Vanderpole finish. Colec Kane, thanks
for the commentary. See you all tomorrow after my planned endurance ride. You, Dude, you better
get out nice and early. You better get out nice and early. Avoid that hot weather. Thank you so
much for your support today, Cole. Uh, up north. So, there’s a guy here up north. I think
he’s brand new with Katana dropping. How do you think Ramco will do in the
mountains? He’s kind of be going solo now, right? Let’s just take a quick look at Sudal
right now. See if they’ve already got him marked out. Sudal Quickstep. What do they
have left here? Uh so yeah, Matia Katano, Tim Merly is a sprinter. Uh I think Van Wilder
will be able to give him some support. Perry Ponch uh is a very good rider, too. Uh we’re just
going to have to see it plays out. At some point, I think we’re going to see a Ven Pole just working
by himself. He’s going to have to use other teams uh as his teammates. You see it happen all the
time. Ride with other dudes that you kind of know. Use their wheels. Do as little work as
possible. Uh let me get through this here too. Wade saying that uh Vizma wanted to recruit Tatty
way back when. Dan Jansen. That’s right. Thank you. always believe. Thank you, Kelly Gunther.
I’m going to have to look up the story now. Uh this will make a fantastic uh chat conversation
tomorrow where I won’t get my stream interrupted. Uh yeah, UA’s got fantastic talent scouts and
ooh there’s a rider at the finish from Intermar. This guy must be in agony. His entire shorts are
ripped away from his lefthand side and the color, the amount of blood that’s dried onto his body
right now, the road rash must be horrendous. I don’t know who that was. I didn’t see a
team uh number there, a rider number. So, Tatty is in the yellow jersey. Tim Wellins is in
the uh polka dot. Tatty is in the green jersey for that sprint finish where he got 50 points. And
Remco stays in the best young riders jersey. So at the sprint finish there, Tatty just got 50 points
back. Stage winner, Tatty, most combative rider, uh, Euan Costu for Arca B&B. He almost stayed
away. If he could have got a top of the M Britannia and started the downhill, maybe he had
a chance to stay away. We’ll never know now. Uh, so Up North, thanks for joining us. says,
“Thanks. I’ve been watching, but that was my first comment.” Yeah, dude. No problem. Jump in more
often. Uh, we had some problems with the stream today. Uh, we’ll make sure everything’s squared
up for tomorrow. I got to get now on YouTube and figure out what was the other stream I made. Did
it actually launch? I bet you when I reinitiated the stream, it just tagged it back onto this one.
I I don’t know how YouTube YouTube does a lot of stuff in the background. It is really smart. Um
yeah, watching that final spin finish finish. They’re saying here Bisma saying Yonas looked
really good and played it really well. When Tatty exploded, handshakes here from Venrar
to uh Yonas. When Tatty exploded over Yonas, zero gap. The only reason he finished ahead is
cuz he started his sprint ahead. Uh they probably sprinted 100 meters from the finish. Jonas stayed
on his wheel. In fact, started half wheeling him at the finish. Um, so Yonas looked really good
there. That’s a confidence builder for him. Uh, Cole saying he’s going out uh 2 and
1 half hours. Go for 102 total suffer score starting before 4:00 a.m. because it’ll
be uh 40° C by 7 a.m. in Saudi Arabia tomorrow. Guys, appreciate everyone watching. I’m just
going to jump back to the route for a second and make sure we’ve got everyone across the
line. We still got some riders out there, I believe. Yep, the green jersey group is still
out there. I can hang out here for a little bit longer. What time are we looking at now? Uh 84.
That’s not bad. 8:47. I got lots of time. All I got to do now is mow the lawn at the office, race
to another town, do some stuff there, get home, uh pretend I’m going to study for a course. the
but there’s no way I can do that today. Then get ready to go all the way into Calgary.
Easy day. Easy day coming ahead. Yeah, Dan Jans here. I’m just talking to Always
Believe. Yeah, I remember that story so well. Uh and so here Sheila Sheila Near is saying Yanni Yanni Honen sounds like a Finnish. Yeah,
it is Finnish comeback kid of the 2000. So, I guess there was a couple of comeback
kids at the 2014 Olympics for Finland. Uh, I don’t even remember the 2014 Olympics really.
Some years I see it, some years I don’t. It’s like anything. It’s just like cycling nowadays. Uh,
it’s getting harder and harder to watch it. Uh, it seems like everything is a pay per pay to watch
now. So, we’ve got a group of 83 riders here. And then we got the green jersey group. I want to make
sure they’re even out there. That doesn’t look update. Yeah, they are moving. They are moving,
folks. Going to go to the finish here. Uh, nope, that’s the search. We’ll go to the race here.
So, yeah, it’s still 4 minutes back to the green jersey group. They still have to assault the
mirror for one last time. Uh, time since the finish almost 16 minutes. Time to cut off is
28 minutes. So, unless they decide to park and have a little uh picnic on the side of the road,
everyone’s going to make the cut off time today. uh always believe is saying that’s awesome. That’s
why I love the tour because I have so much respect to and for them. Yeah, UAE is dominating the
jerseys. Also over at the Tour of Austria, UAE dominating over them with Isaac Del
Toro. Uh they got a strong team there too, guys. They got Isaac Del Toro there, Gro Shartner.
Uh I can’t even remember all the riders, but they they’ve got three World Tour riders sitting in
that group. Uh Bob Yungles is over there I think for Inos. So so far this tour uh Tatty has won
two stages, stage four and seven. Similar type stages too where the the hard climbs are in the
back end. Venipole stage five, Ben Healey stage six. Tim Merier stage three, Matthew Vanderpole
stage two. Uh I’ve already forgotten stage one. Tatty looking quite relaxed being
interviewed afterwards. Imagine having to do this every day. Same
questions over and over. Uh yeah, you never see the broom car anymore. I wonder
why you never see the broom car anymore. Uh Wade saying at times I can’t tell the
difference. I’m wondering what Wade is talking about here. Uh just trying to figure
that out. Oh yeah, I’m getting hungry here, folks. So, what do we got for tomorrow? Why don’t
we take a look at that quickly? It’s going to be uh this is a sprint fest here. This is a a stage
for Jonathan Milan right here. He needs to win this one. Uh you can see here 171 kilometers long.
Uh there probably is a lot more climbing than it looks. They call it a flat stage, but these stages
would be so hard to ride in real life for me. Sprint stage at 85.5ks into the stage. Uh we’re
going from St. Men Leon to Laval East Mayan. Sure. Uh that’s where we’re heading anyway. We’re kind
of like in north we’re kind of in central France now I believe like in the northern end there.
There’s only one categorized climb, but there are a few other climbs for potential breakaways.
But this is going to be a day where the sprint teams are going to control the pelaton. Uh this is
one of the few stages where it’s kind of designed for them to win. Their teams are going to have
to step up and do the work on the front. Yeah. Uh T Dawn’s saying here today Tatty was super
good. It was a super tough stage. I bet you he told him at the finish line that he’s super happy.
Uh me and Steven Cycles joke about that a lot. um that every cyclist here they always say yeah I’m
very I’m super happy I’m super happy I didn’t see Yonas blow any kisses today so I kind of missed
that today but uh we’re doing good there guys so that’s stage uh eight on Saturday I’ll be up for
that one uh start time oh yeah this is perfect so I think I get to sleep in till 4:30 a.m.
tomorrow morning. Uh the start time says 13:10 C EST. I think I think that’s 10 after 5 for me,
I believe. Yeah, that’s 10 after 5 for me. So, I’ll get up at 4:30 for that. Uh it is showing
smatterings of brighter coming in now. And the guys that have finished are riding back down
the mirror. They’re probably the team buses are probably parked parked down the bottom of
the hill and they’re probably going to ride back down to them, I think. Want group riders
coming in. Unix riders coming in. Two door. Uh there’s Bingium right there. I see Bingy now. And
there’s the green jersey of Jonathan Milan. So they’re all coming in together safe and sound. So
that’s going to be stage eight tomorrow. All out. Sprint stage. Stage nine will be this guy here.
More of a kind of a flatter stage again. Yeah, another sprint stage with the sprint intermediate
at the beginning. There will be big sprint points at the end too. It’s either for sprinters or
for breakaway groups. Uh, stage 10 on Monday. I hope you can all join for that one. Is going to be
horrifying. 165 km long, 4,400 meters of climbing. Uh, take a look at the profile. I’m just going to
leave this right here for now. Just absorb that. Uh, taking a look at the chat. Don saying, “That’s
incredible. He’s able to win stages and give away takeback jerseys.” I will. Yeah, definitely
the strongest rider in the Pelaton right now. Uh, Jacob saying, “Agreed so hard to find a
reasonable way.” I think it was Jacob yesterday who was telling me that there was weird time
splits, I think. Or Jacob asked about could Ben take the yellow jersey. Am I right about
that? Agreed. So hard to find a reasonable way to watch the sports you enjoy these days.
Hence, I’m grateful for your stream. Thank you, dude. So, see you tomorrow. Got to believe. Go,
Jonas. Yeah, dude. Yeah, I think Jonas is still totally in this race. Watching the sprint finish
again. He’s right there. Even the UAE didn’t know what happened. They’re asking what happened, good
or bad. They can’t see what’s going on. They’re in the cars chasing along, right? Uh yeah, they’ve
made it really hard to watch sports. And yeah, so my stream got shut down. I showed
something from four years ago. Uh lesson learned. Don’t don’t show stuff from four
years ago. I think someone said though, I was kind It was kind of like fair usage. I was
interacting with what I was showing. Uh maybe I wasn’t interacting enough. I don’t know. It’s
kind of hard to test it out, right? You don’t want to lose your stream. Okay. Anyways, riders,
that’s where I’m going to jump off. The green jerseys has come across the line now. We’re going
to call it a day there. Thanks for watching. See you all again real soon. Appreciate you
guys. See you tomorrow bright and early.
