[Music] Well, what now for the tactic of Ben Healey stuck there on the front, everybody in the wheel knowing Brago has a really venomous finish. He is a very fast finisher on an uphill. Got a very good turn of speed. I can imagine Ben Healey is just going to pick his mark and go so hard and suffocate the rest. Try and just ride them out of the wheel. Here goes Pagatoa. Here goes Pagachi. just leaving seeing leaving that little bit of a gap and Paul Gachan puts in his first attack on Monto this year. It’s 118 to close. He’s put two bike lengths between him and Vingor who is reacting well this time and looks like he might be able to get on the back wheel. There is a positive reaction from Yonas Vingor and you could just see him leaving the gap there as he now gets to Alfip and they’re a minute and 10 behind. Yes, we can see the advantage to the lead here. Counter counter attack by V being go there on that. This is all kicking off here now. And now the guys here on the front will be getting majorly concerned with the battle on between the the two big hitters. Sits down on the wheel. There’s nothing between them today. Getting to one kilometer to go almost and in the front we saw a move from Bahan. That was counted. Mass left behind with Draago goes on with the Flam Rouge. He in the pink jersey trying to close it. This is so precious, so prestigious that they will fight to the last pedal stroke. Came for GC. It didn’t work out. Now he has an opportunity to add a tour stage to a JO success which would be a huge turnaround for Vrago after that really nasty crash on stage seven to Mud Banned open all over. He’s recovered. He’s back at the front of the race. Been in the hunt for one of the most iconic stage victories in the tour to France. Many of the greats have won here. We’ve had so many episodes. They’re 210 m behind. 44 seconds. Mass is trying to work his way back as well. Yes, he’s coming back. And we can see here they’re just all watching each other. In the meantime, the advantage is coming down and you know another attack here in the final couple of hundred meters. We could see them just getting swallowed up in the end. But looking like Pogar is happy city the wheel at being go here and if that goes on for another couple of hundred meters they should be able to stay out in front grab it and look who else is back. It’s Elon Wen motion. really worked his way well back. Nodded the head to Par said follow this I’m going to wind it up and then Parant you’d think needs to attack off the back of this but for such a slightly built man he’s pretty quick on an uphill finish and we know how much it can change around those final corners. 550 m to go on the bald mountain the giant of pules with some of the most slight slender climbers in the world trying to take victory on it. Remember the hair pin still to go. The ascent up to the observatory. 500 m. It’s 43 seconds now. Back to Patcha and a Vingigore who I think have probably missed their opportunity now to take victory here. Just too late for Pagacha and Vinegar. But from these riders at the front, looks like everybody is backing his own sprint. He still waiting on the wheel of for Wilder. It’s all about what you have left in the tank here because it’s not about being the fastest if you’re still feeling the fatigue as Guago has made a big effort to get back in. Normally, he will be, you know, quite a fast one this sprint, but it’s all about energy in the tank at the moment. Think back to the history. Think back to the big names, the fantastic, the tragic, the feuds, and of course the farle. the last time we tried to finish up here. But now after four hours of yet again full gas racing, it’s been a copy and paste start. But what will the finish look like? MVU in glorious sunshine and it’s the man from Ireland who’s going after it. Ben Healey in that pink jersey wants to get it again. But keep your eyes out for Bahra. He has the French hopes on his small shoulders. Healey’s going. He’s out the saddle. Bahan’s trying to do it. They’ve still got to turn around and go up the hill. The observatory awaits and watching them come in. You can see the flags there as well. But here goes. Look at Pra. There are French hopes. Are they about to be satisfied? And I think they are. Look at Pra. A dream come true. And finally, it’s the French. This one’s historic. This one will go down as special. He joins the great names who have done it for his country. From Puro to Timmy Bell now Virhank and now Pipan he wins the stage and Pugacha is still trying to win the GC war attack three times. This is Pugacha’s second dig now and still there’s nothing between them today. They have gone toe to toe team to team around the final corner. There might be a second or two in it, but it’s Pogachan in yellow who will not add his name to the big list of winners. Al Manu. He will though survive another day and not just survive but thrive as he still finishes just in front of Yonas Vingor who tried and tried but couldn’t even get him swinging towards that canvas. No, I think Vizma Vizmea did a great job here. You know they just put that teamwork into action. Satellite riders being a go tried everything there but Pogar never in difficulty because seeing the final run to the line not any difficulty on this stage. Well, we mentioned earlier on that it could have been Wembley, Marakan, the MCG. In the end, Robbie, it’s the Stard France. Listen to that. Stard France moved to the Mong 2. Big thanks to his teammate Vilda for a team that was down and out a couple of days ago despite having three stage wins already with Evan Apool and Mer. It’s a Maf who takes it on the Mon 2.
