[Music] This Christmas motorcyc [Music] [Applause] Today we’re going to ride the last K of the tour. [Applause] [Music] We are with Halona. Halona. [Music] Yes guys, it’s Christmas for the cycling fans because today starts the tour the France in Liil and guess where we are exactly in Liil. This is the village the park the first stage of the tour the France here with all the stands of all the sponsors of the tour. In a few minutes, the buses are going to arrive here in Liil because it’s going to be the team presentations and we’re going to head there. But we saw some familiar faces. We saw the the guy that broke Eddie Mer and finished with his glory in the tour to France. And also we saw Andy Schle, a winner of tour of France, a great climber from the pre the previous era. And we talked with Andy about who does he think can win the tour to France. If it’s going to be a thing of one single guy of Patcha or you think there’s going to be a proper rivalry. Well, I believe uh we are all here for a reason that we don’t know who’s going to win. So it’s too easy to say the first day is going to be a battle and battle between these two. But on paper it looks like is extremely strong. Vine claimed he’s in the shape of his life. So uh we should not forget that uh Jumbo they already know the plan how to beat. So I think they they have all the tools to do it now. They can pull it off. It’s another question. Um but yeah an extremely hard week the first one even on paper looks flat. But uh for the GC guys this is more stressful than if they go straight to the mountain. So uh I go this year um is still ready able to follow in the big climbs. Uh we will see. Um but on paper of course we have five stars for Foga and Migar maybe just right behind and then Ramo at the same level. So it’s going to be interesting. Um but that’s yeah that’s institute event we will see a couple of days more and then I truly believe we will have an exciting tour until the last week uh because I believe it’s the mountains going to decide yellow now we’re about to head to the paddock to see the riders but we’re just running to James boy and we had like a nice conversation with him about cycling now you’re looking for autographs to see some of the riders when you come for the [Music] Yep. He’s a very cool rider and a very good rider, right? Yep. So, who’s going to win today then? Which one? All right. Defend off the green jersey last year. He had a difficult start into the year. Some sickness, but it’s the tour. He is ready. We’re in the pilot of the tour. France Disneyland but for for people that love sports and Philip is over there. Yeah. A lot of excitement. We saw Yunas Binger and this is how it feels being Yunas Binger and being loved by the public. [Applause] Then we saw for sure one of his top domestic seph got a good impression with Seph. We were chatting with Se before the stage and he says like he feels great for this tour of France. So let’s see what he’s capable to do in this tour. I’m sure that in the mountains it’s he’s going to do a great great job. See, hey, we also saw Primo that he said hello to the camera. This is Jonathan Milan, one of the wheels to follow in this first stage of the tour, the France. And for sure, cycling is one of the sports where fans can get closer from the idols. Now we’re going to leave the paddock and head to the VIP area in the finish line to see who’s going to be the first yellow jersey. in a minute. [Applause] Jasper Philipsson got the first victory of the tour is the first yellow jersey and two days later we came back on the tour to France to enjoy stage three. This is stage three of the tour to France. The first two days althin has been yeah in another level. First stage Philips won and yellow jersey. Second stage Matier Vanderpo won and also took the yellow jersey. First stage is going to be sprint finish here in Dun and it looks like Philipsson can win again. Let’s see what happen. But we are in the Flam Rouge last kilometer of the Tour of France. And today we’re going to ride the last K of the tour a few hours ahead of the cyclist and we’re going to jump in the podium and be in the backstage of the race. Have a look. Eh, this is the Flam and we are ready here gathered to to the last kilometer. Have you thought about your celebration kilometer? So, finish line cross and now we’re going to take a group photo under the arch of the last kilometer. [Applause] Now, it’s time for the podium. So, now that we’ve done the podium and we’ve complete the ride before we head to the VIP area, these tracks over here are showers. We’re going to get a shower and then we’re going to be sparkling to head to the VIP area, have lunch, and enjoy the race on the telly’s and after be there to watch the finale. We’re heading now to the VIP area, but we run into a previous minutes ago with Marcel Kit, one of the best sprints of this 21st century, and we ask him about who does he see as the strongest sprinters now day in a tour of France with a lot of level on the sprints, Meran or Yasper Philips? I think um yeah, those guys, they are definitely the fastest ones. Um especially Yonathan Milan is also the one with the best leadout train. next to of course Jasper Philips with Alpus in the kerning. I’m personally really excited uh for today’s stage that we will hopefully also see little track in the lead out and we will see what they can do next to Alpus in the kerning. So yeah, I’m really excited and somewhere in between we will see Tim Malia who’s going to follow just like he always does just almost on his own maybe with pale of course before him and um yeah it’s going to be an exciting sprint and if you compare them as a sprinters maybe Milan is more the kind of sprinter you were more like powerful and big but which like strong things you think has every single sprinter like Milan is the power probably Milan is the power is the positioning Jasper Philipsson is um not not only his team but also uh the more difficult sprints more uphill. We saw it yesterday. He was uh quite a long time still in the first group until he had to to let them go and uh I think we will see him especially on the more difficult stages again in front. Okay. D. Oh, a safe crash from Jasper Phillips. And the first winner of stage in this brand yellow jersey goes on at day three YouTube. A very bad crash. Remco Remco. They coming. They coming. They coming. [Applause] [Music] wins the spring. Overtaking in the last minute. What a spring from Mil from Mer bit sweet feeling for quick step with a victory of Mer and the crash of Evanool just passed right now in front of us and he looks quite okay. He was interacting with his uh teammates. It looks like it’s nothing serious and he will carry on with no problem this tour of the France. We don’t want any more abundance at least. This was our first week in the tour of the France. We going to be back on the Pyrenees for the second week and for sure on the Alps to enjoy the third week. So keep an eye on our vlogs here in the tour to France because the best is still to
