It’s going to be uh probably the first real GC battle. I think on paper the the climbs are not the hardest ones, but it’s up and down all the day. Come on. You’re the strongest. You’re the strongest. I remember the stage in last year. And now cracks. If it’s going to be the same tomorrow, I think we might expect already some first cracks in the GC. The top two riders in the tour are yet again Tadip Pagacha and Yonas Wenger. Are you going to be on the offensive or on the defensive today? Yeah, that’s the question. Pagatcha goes and Venard can’t go. Can he do it? Hauling himself pedal rev by pedal rev back onto the wheel of the world champion. It’s always better to have more time. Pagatcha starts. Fenagard is going to go with him. The more important is not to lose time. I would have liked to do a better time trial there. Obviously, I would have liked to to lose a little bit less time there. Yeah, let’s go for it. Who will celebrate the storming of the Basti by successfully storming up and down the massive central? No fewer than eight category climbs, a GC battle, or a breakaway going the distance. Perhaps it’ll be both. Let’s be conservative there. It’s going to be it’s going to take a bit of time to get through the break. It’s good that you are there, but don’t waste the bullets. More attacks. More attacks from Viz Malisa bike. Yep. Big attack of Yates. You can see that style out the saddle. Nearly 30 riders at the head of the race. Teammates Simon Yates and Victor Campenards there as an early indicator of Vizma’s intention to crank up the pressure. Pseudo Quickstep represented by Vanten Par and Remco Evanipole’s main climbing companion Elant Van Valdo. Their Belgian leader back in the Pelton tucked in behind team UAE controlling the Pelton with a steady pace. The best placed Escape in the GC was Ben Healey just under four minutes down and the French promised then delivered their presence in the break. Lenny Martinez and Julian Araflee hoping to deliver on the Fed Nasau. A reasonable gap to control but sparks were about to fly. Ben O Connor goes on the attack. The Australians attack asking questions of who could respond. Around 15 managing to do so. Lenny Martinez in particular on the hunt for the polka dots and nabbing enough points to be the virtual king of the mountain. As they reorganized, it was EF Education’s Harry Sweeney setting a fierce pace that would help put teammate Ben Healey into the virtual yellow jersey. Thank just thank you. 30 final kilometers in this small but elite group of riders had survived at the head of the race. The winner of the stage to be decided between them who could make the stage winning attack. Quinn Simmons clearly threw his name into the hat, but a long way from a defining move. Back down the road, Bizma Malisa bike were trying to pressure the yellow jersey of Pagacha. Jorgensson and Cous testing out the world champion. And of course, they’ve done this on the Galibbeia a couple of years ago, if you remember, sending riders and then uh Vindigard with that big attack going from rider to rider to rider. Not too much. But then on this car, not too much. Keep an eye on the others. Guys, stay close to and communicate between you. Another move of Jorgensson. Tatty Pagatcha has to close it. Come on, boys. Really good. I like this. This is what we want to do. attack of Simon Yates as he reaches the bottom of the climb. Ben Healey tries to go with him. The winner of the Jiro Ditalia, the winner of Love Welter, goes onto the final climb of the day with a move to try and win the stage. The British rider reaches the top of the climb, breaks into a smile. He’s now got a hat-tick of victories in the Tour to France. Yates wins stage 10. Here’s a big attack. Remco apole decides to go. Remco strikes and Paga decides it’s not worth going. The Irish rider reaches the line and the clock starts. He has got 3 minutes and 55 seconds to wait to find out if he is the yellow jersey. And here goes Pagatcha. Pagatcha’s decided. Well, today you’ve tried, but now I’m going to show you who’s the boss. Ben Healey celebrates. He is going to be on the podium in yellow. And here is Lenny Martinez on Bastile Day. Has done a wonderful job for France and Bahrain victorious. Paga on his wheel finishes about 4 minutes and 21 seconds behind Ben Healey. Winning the Jurro. You still have the legs. Uh it’s not easy. I’m still a bit tired from there, but uh stage played out in a way that I could be there for the for the stage and yeah, I took took it with both hands. It’s a fairy tale, you know. Uh if you told me this before the tour, I think I I wouldn’t have believed you, you know. So, say to win and yellow jersey, it’s it’s just Yeah. incredible and uh beyond belief really. Simon Yates earns his third tour stage win, but first for six years. The reigning Jirro champion holding off tour debutant Timman Arsen for the Inoss Riders best stage result. And Ben Healey third yet the Irishman in radiant yellow. How to top a stage four win become Ireland’s first yellow jersey since 1987. No movement in the points classification. Jonathan Milan still in green. The only rider to have broken 200 point barrier. Lenny Martinez made sure Frenchman was in a major jersey on Bastid. A swashbuckling performance to be the current king of the mountains. And Ben Healey’s heroic saw him take the white jersey too. 1 minute 29 on Evanapul while Voclan had a bad day at the office.
