He has four already here. His team rode so hard all day. They’ve been in control. Okay, short stage. So, all day maybe over exaggerating, but they’ve ridden really hard as a team to keep things under a tight control and the way Ted Patch has been riding on this final climb, setting the pace on the front. This is not about controlling his rivals in his wheel. is about controlling the gap in front of him and making sure he’s not letting the stage slip away. More Slovenian flags on show for the yellow jersey. Came into this race with 17 stage wins and three overall titles at the tour. He has 21 of those Tour to France stage wins now. And of course, if he carries on like this, he’ll have his eye on that magic number of 35. Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22. Well, that was the number of seconds between Irisman and him a moment ago, but it’s come down by a couple. We’re looking back at the Vulcan group. Of course, he’s got Clemon Belt just in front looking around. This is Arnman. He’s obviously going to go cheered on. It’s another big effort. It’s Arsman versus the world. This is when he’s at his best. But as Robbie and Sha have been giving us those doses of realism, when if those accelerations come, that gap could disappear into nothing. But another kilometer ticks by. 3 km to go now. He’s cheered on. He’s roared on. And Iman is looking for number two of this race. One from each mountain range. behind it’s Poggy, it’s Vingle, it’s Onley and it’s Leap. Yes. And this will be uh the one where the director of Sporties will have to just uh really encourage man and tell him that yeah, you have a good advantage. Maybe add on him maybe 6 or 8 seconds and say it’s 25 seconds, 26 seconds. You have a great opportunity here. Just dig deep just right like a dog. Over to you, Zack Dempster. Again, [Music] another second or two shaved off as they get further up this mountain. This is Patcha in not exactly energy saving mode, but using his head a little more. Here comes the steeping one. Sorry, Rob. See where Aronman is up and out of the saddle. Steeper section opportunity. Is there an acceleration coming? We wait to find out as those behind come around the corner at 1 minute 06 for Madman at 45 seconds from Pula. We get our eyes over to the yellow jersey group surely because this could be the moment. This could be the time. They’re about to go around the corner. 2.4Ks to the line for Ardensman. But it’s probably about time we did look at that yellow jersey group. Well, this has to be the moment because 2.5 to go, 18 seconds unless Pogaro is very confident in the very d moments he can take this one back. He’s continued on to set this pace, but there have to be a big attack coming very quickly. He was saying the other day that he was fed up now. He wanted it to end. He wanted to go home. He was feeling the stress. He was feeling the energy depletion. wanted to get the Paris and get back to what he called a normal life as Oscar Onley is showing his first signs of weakness. It’s advantage Leapovitz now in the fight for the podium and Onley’s having to dig very very deep indeed. Look at him fighting the bike. He does so he gets back to the wheel but this is the first time we’ve seen this Sean. Yes, it is the first time we have seen Oscar on. He was the one who was in front of Lieovitz previously on the time and Lieovitz lost a bit of ground but hley he’s digging deep here and you know he will just have to fight for his life here and try and hold this wheel but yeah it looks like Leapitz is the just a little bit better at the moment another kilometer ticks by only two seconds are shaved off the gapman may be dreaming of surviving now what’s Patcha got does he have the final punch we know we know that at his very best he can do this but he’s not being as aggressive as maybe we expected on continues to pay again and now Lieovitz will get excited. Yes, we can see Liverp just looking over his left shoulder here. But I think Yonas Finger will be getting a uh interested in this one and try and attack because as we go inside the 2 km to go 18 seconds, he’ll be wondering is Pogchar not that good? I have to give him a Now Lipovitz, he’s seen the opportunity. Lipovich wants to finish the white jersey competition. He wants to kill any dream of Oscar only sneaking away maybe even tomorrow and getting a few seconds. Lipovich sees the threat of Oscar only diminishing. So now he’s turned his attention to possible stage victory. He was just on the radio to the team. It would have been Oscar’s gone. Can I attack? Oscar only off the back and being ridden further away from the podium after yesterday’s sublime performance. And how the tables turn at the tour to France because it was leap of its nightmare yesterday that allowed only to get within 22 seconds of a dream podium result. It looks as though Lipovich is going to seal the deal here for German cycling and for Red Bull Bora Hansa. They gap down to 16 seconds. 1.4 km to go. Keep your eye on Bingore. There just around the corner. We watch. We wait now. Patcha leaves a little bit of a gap as well. Is it his moment to come around 17 seconds 1.3ks to go? Looks to be picking up the pace. 5% is the gap, but Artisman still out ahead. And the Flam Rouge is in sight now. Robbie 15 seconds and it’s now Lipovitz is the man trying to close the gap effectively becoming a lead out for Ted Patcha or is he 131 12 there must be an acceleration coming from behind now 1k to go for Tamar but he will feel them coming yes well this is uh you know just hovering in and out here we can see it’s going out again and we can see the gap there it looks like it’s more than that 7 seconds and it’s crept out to 15 seconds at the moment but als man he’s inside here and if they have got it here Pogchar if he kicks on well this gap will come down so quickly but amazing kilometers to go and still haven’t made a move and you go I was expecting him to give it a try here because you know he has nothing to lose only go for try and go for stage win gent everybody must be on their knees it’s been a neverending tour in terms of nervousness energy expended full gas every day this man’s been a revelation of it. But Oscar Onley, he’s looking great for fourth. The podium dream here is dying, however, and it’s a tremendous performance from Floron Leeovitz, who is riding himself into third and riding those behind him into sight of Timman Ardensman. 700 m remain. It’s still all in play here as Leapovitz looks behind. One launch behind and it could be over, but Iman’s hanging on. 630 m to go. Is there anything here? I’m not sure. They look like they’re on their knees. One more burst of speed from Tam and Ardensman. This gap is still crossful. 8 9 10 seconds. Tulacha almost looking now reluctant to give Verness. Vinegard a chance at a victory. Vinegard in turn doing absolutely nothing. Everybody was pushed to the limit yesterday. It’s been the way for 18 stages before this. Lieovitz is going to take some sort of victory today. He’s on his way to white. He’s on his way to the podium. Germany are back in Grand Tour racing. They have a young hero who was under so much pressure. He’s riding this group, the top two in the world up the mountain. And none of them so far with a possible victory in sight are able to make that move. Well, it just tells that they must be under pressure here because Bingo is the one. No, he hasn’t got a stage win in this race and that would really, you know, make a good chill for him. Not making any move. Pogchar surprising that he hasn’t tried. Leapovitz behind Patcha there in second wheel. Here comes Ringigo around there is Ardensman. A look behind but don’t look. You just got to pedal. He’s still not at the line yet. They wait for him. Vicky Moore has launched it. Pukacha’s behind. Ironsman’s coming up after two hours 46 minutes of an explosive stage, but he has time to celebrate. And Tim and Iman doubles up. Pyrenees Alps a second stage win when it looks so unlikely. Vingor Pogachard and Leapovitz over the line sealing a likely podium and the white jersey. But so much fight in the man from Keelso. He’s limiting the damage because there’s still one stage with climbing to go. But in terms of the general classification, even the top riders, Robbie Mchuan are down and out and they cannot wait for the shot at his hand. Oh, this tour has been brutal on absolutely everyone. And in the end, it was very standoffish behind it in the wheel of Té Pachard. But it shows you, we said it further down the climb. When it comes to winning stages in the tour to France, Tamman is everything. It certainly was a game
