Tour de France 2025 | Episode 3

In the last week at the @LeTourDeFrance , we sadly lost João Almeida and saw Tadej Pogačar hit the deck in a crash 🤕

But we refused to let that keep us down, and struck back on the Hautacam! Across the Pyrenees and Friday’s time trial, Tadej made his case for 💛

Tune into our latest behind the scenes video to watch it all come together 🎬🍿 #WeAreUAE

Nice uh as well is dropped and he will stop uh so he will retire proper. Terrible news. A rider who was the key man in the mountains for Tad Pagatcha. Jah is with us uh after the feed zone and we will take him through to the finish and the team bus. one side. [Music] [Music] So unfortunately we lost Juaw made it today. the crash he sustained on stage seven was just too much uh for his body and uh at this level of racing in the tour to France really can’t expect him to to carry on. Uh he bravely fought on for two stages but um with these kinds of injuries often the discomfort and the pain and the generalized inflammation get worse in the week afterwards and obviously his health is priority. So he’s gone home to recover uh and prepare his uh his uh training for the rest of the season. Uh and we we really are going to miss you uh not only as a really important member for our GT aspirations uh but more importantly for his personality, his team player attitude and his general ambiance he brings to the team. We wish him well in his recovery and uh watch the space soon. [Music] coffee shop on the east right also haircut. Yeah, massage then some uh meetings saw my family dinner. That’s a good day. pretty good day. The end I was quite tired also also from rest day but uh it was in a good way. That’s good. I also heard that you uh and the team were looking at the closing finish. Just back to the racing for a second. It looks pretty tricky. It looks quite difficult. What’s your take on the finale today? It all depends on what the other teams want. But uh yeah, it’s a bit technical final with a punchy bur. So yeah, there’s a lot of guys that can win today’s stage, but uh depends on on their teammates as well. So um yeah, we’ll see either breakaway or punchy final [Music] and good riding there by Tagachar. Needs to be on the wheel straight away. Now he’s going to have this little descent where he’s going to recover. There’s more attacks for Oakland again. Only on goes everybody. Oh, there’s a big crash. Oh, huge crash. And the world champion is down. Paga hits the deck. A massive crash of the world champion. Now he needs some help. The neutral service is there. There’s a little bit of panic in Paga right now. He’s not inside. There’s no sprint zone. I repeat, we do not pull it after crash of somebody. He’s only 7 seconds behind. No one is taking advantage of the crash of Tad Paga. Yates brings him back. And if they have decided to wait, then that is sporting etiquette at its very best. Respect to everybody. Thank you. [Music] You never know when you crash. It could be Yeah. an easy crash or a big crash. Fortunately, that one uh even it was a quite high speed, it was not so damaging. uh today itself if you feel okay. So that’s that is the good news. Not what you want for the hodiccom though. Yeah of course. No never no the rider they never deserve to crash. This is a sport enough hard enough uh complicated but this is part of the of the sport and we need to to make to make with it. So uh stage 12 uh is the first uh demanding stage on the Pyrene of this tour. 180 kilometer uh quite hard. Uh this is the will be the really the the first uh uh hard stage with uh a lot of gaps also between the GC riders. So we see we are ready. The the guys uh they feel feel good. we are motivated and uh we we go for it for sure. Clash of yesterday it’s uh it’s something that we should avoid and uh it looks not so bad and he’s confident and we we are confident that we we can manage and we can be there for to fight. Adam says, “I can’t.” I can’t. Shakes his head. Now starts the acceleration and really starts to ramp it. Finger can’t go. Finger Godard cannot respond. And Pagata attacks. Now the world champion puts in a hammer blow. And Finger Godard cannot respond in any way. A tornado has struck on autoam. The defending champion on autocam. 20 stage wins in the tour to France. And now we wait to find out what the time gaps are going to be. Come on. Come guys. Congrats. Oh, it’s too much flesh. Let’s go. Today is a TT climb with a small part flat and then 8 km at 8% with the last part super steep. The the time will be around 24 minutes the best time. So we will see big difference between the riders today. [Music] [Applause] I think more. Come on. [Music] [Applause] Heat. [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Applause]
