Tour de France 2025 Stage 17 | BREAKAWAYS! #tourdefrance2025 #tdf2025 #tourdefrance #TDF

Hey TDF Fans! and ICW Fans!
Stage 16 we were witness to an incredible assault up the Mont Ventoux, a stalemate between Pogi and Jonas and a win for the French on the Giant of Provence. Today we jump to stage 17 and another opportunity for the Sprinters and breakaway opportunists. At present only 8 teams have scored stage victories leaving a lot of teams empty handed. Chances for them to impress are running out fast, now is their time.

And we’re live, folks. Good morning. 
Wednesday. What’s the day, guys? July 23rd. I was gonna say 22 seconds. 5:38 in the 
morning for me. Just trying to get caught up here. Let me know if the stream’s live, guys. 
Okay, it looks like I’m live there now. Yeah,   kind of a funny start here on YouTube 
today. Uh, we should be past the uh the Starlink interludes that I like to 
have here. Just let me get things sorted out. Checking all my audio levels here. Everything 
looks good. Um, audio input capture. Yep, it’s she’s good. We are on screen, 
folks. We will be jumping over here next. Let me get back over here, guys. Okay, guys. Here 
we go. Official classifications after stage 16 of the tour of France. You see Tatty in first. 
Uh, he took a couple seconds out of Yonas. Oh,   by the way, good morning everyone. Colin here, 
Inside Cycling World. Thanks for coming back, guys. It’s middle of the week, Wednesday. Um, 
kind of a transitional stage. Last chance for the sprinters. Well, they have maybe one more 
chance. Okay, let’s say three. They’ve got today,   Wednesday, we’ve got two bumps. The bumps are 
pretty hard, though. These category four fours are pretty hard. Uh, they’re nothing like what 
we’ve seen so far, but easier than the ones at   the beginning of the race. Uh, we’re still a 
neutralized start, guys. Um, just going to show you guys here. We are still neutralized start. 
Very, very slow start today. Uh, they started out at 535. The feed I’m looking at, they haven’t 
even left yet. And according to the tour of France uh, tracker here, they have not even started yet. 
But let’s take a little bit of the route here. So, what we’re going to do right now, you can see 
we finished up at the HC yesterday. Malone 2. We started in Melier down by the coast. I was talking 
all about this these long sand bars here where you shouldn’t build stuff. You should never build 
on these things. Uh they move over time. It’s called long shore drift. Another geo term there 
for you. Um the sands that they’re built on will move over time and then people will say how how 
catastrophic it is and the world’s ending and no, it’s called long shore drift. Those sands move. 
And then this part here reminds me of like   uh the Louisiana Mississippi Delta system. 
Uh you can see this changes over time. And hopefully they’re not grow uh building in here. 
It’s all nature reserve. 29° outside today, guys. It is quite warm. We worked our way up 
to the Von 2. What an awesome battle up the   Von 2 yesterday. I know the chat’s already hot, 
guys. Just want to get this all out quickly. Oh, I did ride my bike yesterday, too. I did ride 
my bike yesterday, too. Nothing too crazy. Um, probably went a little bit harder than what I 
should right now because my brain keeps saying,   “Hey, you’re still in super great shape, Colin.” 
I’m not. Uh, so today we’re going Bolin to Valenc. Uh, I think this is the first time this stage has 
ever the tour has ever started in this town. Uh, looks like a great little town. I looked at 
some pictures earlier today. Uh, let’s take a   look at the stage here, guys. This is what we’re 
going to be in for today. Starting in Boline. So, first time it’s ever started here. Let’s turn that 
down for a bit. Uh, try to give you a live screen, big screen here. And then we pop up into a couple 
of little mountain ranges. We’re going to take on   the category 4 somewhere in there. I don’t think 
they even showed it. And there is there’s only two category fours today. Uh, sprinters and breakaway 
opportunist/ontrepreneurs. This is their stage, guys. So, here we end up in Valenc. We’ll be going 
after that hard today, folks. Let’s take a look at the profile. Uh neutralized start is underway 
now. I’ll just show you that here. Stage 17. This one. Uh yeah. So the video feed is showing 
they’re underway. Uh the tour feed here has not   even shown it. Let’s take a look at some stuff 
we got seen over here. So they’re on the start here. Lots of handshakes. Okay, here’s Jonathan 
Milan himself. This may be the last opportunity   the team will have to control the race today. So, 
going to be a hot and heavy start. We’ll jump back over here again. Uh, and see that the sprint 
point is only 48 km into the day. It’s uphill, flattish for maybe the first half, a few little 
bumps, and then we start climbing slowly. Uh, so I think this is going to be a tough sprint 
today, controlled by the sprinters. Obviously, we’re going to see breakaway teams go. Uh, looks 
like we got a 7 km neutralized start and it looks like the Alpason boys have decided to start the 
day off with the best nutrition possible, a freezy pop. You know those freezy pops that come in the 
long things, the plastic, when you open them, you   tear your mouth apart. Yeah, I love those. Those 
are great. Um, there we go. So, yeah, the category 4 climb here is not that long. It’s only 20 km 
after the sprint point. So, expect huge attacks at the beginning. Expect even more attacks after 
the sprint point. Once, let’s just say it, big Jonathan Milam wins a sprint point. Uh he has to 
win these sprint points at otherwise Tatty’s going to steal the points away again. Uh or someone will 
at the front. Actually, Tatty won’t win today’s stage. This is I think it’s too fast of a finish 
and the team’s going to start getting nervous now. uh keeping him healthy, keeping him upright. It’s 
the hill climb stages where he keeps getting the sprint points. So, if we look at the sporting 
stakes here, you can see we’ve got 20 points   available at the beginning at the Rosh saying, 
whatever it’s called. I don’t have all the word written there. 20 points there, 50 at the end. So, 
Jonathan has to be involved at the end here. Uh and even said himself, this is the last chance to 
get some sprint points. Uh we got the Caldo Portis Cat 4 almost 4 km at 6 and a half%. That seems 
tough. That’s a tough little climb. Uh especially at racing speeds and after you’ve already been 
blasting for 70ks uh powered by some of the fastest riders in the world. Cali tartel 3.6 km 
at 3 and a half. So this one’s not as hard. Guys will be launching over the top of this one. Uh 
let’s just jump into see what else it said here. Got a little dude here hanging out with the uh the 
pro riders. This must be someone’s kid, I think.   Cuteness overload. Oh, it is. It’s Edward to 
Edward Twins and Scott Toy. So, this must be his son up there representing um Perry Pon yesterday 
for the win. What an awesome win by him. Hey guys, guess what? Uh the number two winning team at 
the tour of France here is Take a guess. Take a guess. Who do you think it is? Uh guys, I’m going 
to jump into my chat here right away. Actually,   I haven’t even opened it yet. Sorry. Chat has not 
been opened yet. Uh now it’s time to get loud. So, we need for this to all run through. Coffee 
sips time, guys. Still neutralized start. Nothing   to worry about here. Going to give this a quick 
refresh to see if it’s hung up or anything. It is not. Let’s get through here. get this chat 
open and boom, we should be up and running, guys. I should be able to see you all in 
the chat right now. I’ve got a fascinating   poll going on today, guys. Uh it’s the most 
pivotal poll of the uh entire tour to France. Okay, guys, here we go. Stage 17. Yeah, and I did 
see a obviously after the stage yesterday and I saw it going on uh Felix Gaul. He was nowhere 
to be seen because his transponder must have been down the whole time. Uh at first I thought he 
was out the back. I looked in the back. I couldn’t   find him. Uh okay, we’re here guys. Uh trying to 
catch up. Trying to Okay, that’s talk chat again. I need to see all my live chat. I haven’t looked 
at one here today yet, so this is going to be fun.   Uh, I can see Ruben’s in the mix. Bike Terra is 
back again. Love having the Bike Terra boys here, guys. Uh, send some love to Bike Terra. Uh, looks 
like Evan might have been the first year today. Uh, my poll’s in the way. I can’t see that, Evan. 
Uh, he says he’s got to get here before the rush comes in here. I got to turn this up a little 
bit. Uh, by Terra. Uh, this is Matt Nanzo here laughing. Love that poll. So, guys, take a look 
at the poll at the top. I’m hoping it’s rigged in my favor. I really hope it’s rigged in my favor. 
Um, anyways, Ruben says, “I beat you.” Okay. Uh, Evan Jonathan still hanging on to the the green 
jersey. I see. Yeah. Let’s take a look at that,   guys. So, here’s the green jersey. GC Patty’s 
only 11 points behind. Jonathan should get his 20 today at the intermediate. Let’s hope. Uh, and 
then he really needs to be involved in the last sprint because there’s stages coming up where 
Jonathan Milan’s going to finish 30 45 minutes behind. That’s tomorrow and Friday. He has zero 
chance. Uh, depending where the sprint point is at the beginning. Why don’t we do that quickly? 
Let’s take a look at stage 18 tomorrow. Guys, this is like mind-blowing. The stage 171K, almost 5,500 
meters of climbing. Here’s the stage. So, Jonathan will get the early sprint points, but again, 
if we look at the sporting stakes for tomorrow, uh oo say they’ve lowered the green jersey points 
as they should. Uh they’re half of what the polka dot jersey points are. Uh I guess, you know what? 
I think the green jersey now they’re trying to go back to way before. It’s more of the best overall 
racer jersey now. It’s not really a sprint jersey anymore. I think we discussed that yesterday. 
Um, so they’re allowing the overall riders, the Yonas, the Pogy, all those guys at the top 
to compete with the pure sprinters because for a while it did become just a sprinter jersey. 
Who who was the fastest guy out there? Okay, let’s get off that screen because it’s so 
bright. So, here’s our overall rankings.   Bingham in third. Remember, we lost uh 
Machu Vanderpool. Uh he withdrew yesterday. Okay, so they’re already talking here. Race radio 
feed. I’m seeing it already. I want to get back   to this here, guys. 7K neutral after that after 
directly narrow. So already now be aware of your position. Uh still in the neutralized start here, 
guys. Going to probably close one of these down because I’m getting confused as to where I am. 
Uh yeah, let’s go to the live feed. Here we go. Okay, race is on, guys. Race is on now. The race 
is on now. Stage is on. So, they pass kilometer zero at 1348. Um, this should this will be a 
sub four-hour day, guys. Sub four-hour day. Uh, what did you guys think of yesterday’s stage? 
How did you think the top guys looked? Uh,   is there anything that caught your eye? Oh, by 
the way, Joey hated the camera yesterday. Uh, she said it was way too much looking down on 
me. I just moved it over a little bit today and uh I’m going to try to set it more at eye level. 
It’s just I have all the best intentions to make these things happen. I get doing something else. 
Uh yeah. So Jonathan Mullen is just hanging on   there. This old house UCI World Tour edition. 
Yeah, exactly. Uh Evan saying the tour is wearing me out. Evan, tell me about it. Eh, good afternoon 
from Neil Rushby here for the Mockers Worldwide.   How good was that finish on yesterday’s stage? 
Yeah, that was incredible. Valentine, Perry, Ponch, uh Ben Healey. Uh I love the fact Oh, 
yeah. So, I asked the question earlier. Um who are the most winning teams in this in the tour 
this year? UAE, we got four by Tatty. Do we have four by Tatty? I think we got four by Tatty and 
one by Tim Wellins. Let’s not forget that one. Uh   and then everyone’s going to forget because I know 
I do. Uh Sudal. Two by Tim Merlier, one by Remco, one by Valentine Perry Pont. The best name in the 
tour to France. Checking out the Bora jerseys here again. Wow, love those pinstripes. Oh, it’s a 
double pinstripe. I just noticed that it looks like it’s a red and blue on the other side of 
the jersey. Pinstripe. Just caught that. Yeah, red on the left side and blue on the uh right 
side. Just trying to get caught up here, guys. I’m a little bit behind here. I I paused 
this earlier uh to watch something. So, I am behind. Uh let’s get caught up with the chat, 
then I can jump over here and see what’s going on. Evan saying, “All I want to see is that Quinn 
Simmons get a stage win.” Oh, definitely. Today   could be his type of day. Today could be his day. 
It’s going to hot up real quick here. Uh you can see right away we’ve already got riders going 
off the front. Uh, Quinton Pache here already trying to get off the front for Groupama, 
FDJ, a team that needs to do something. So, I think I was posting in the Discord. I I 
forget where I’m posting this stuff. There’s   only been eight teams win stages at the Tour to 
France this year out of 23 teams. So, there’s 15 teams sitting around now going absolutely 
pouring at the finish line. Pouring. Uh, I’m hidden away in the 10 x 10 cube of uh tour 
to France domination and uh hydration. Drink your coffee, folks. And uh those commentators 
at the end, the pro commentators at the end, they’re huddled away in those little tiny 
booths sitting just uncomfortably close to   each other. Have you guys ever noticed that? 
They’re like the good old days of Phil and Paul Sherwin. They they’re rubbing shoulders 
the whole time. Quite disturbing to me. Um, yeah, Neil’s asking, “Why is that? Is he 
a favorite of yours?” Uh, I guess Neil,   we’ve watched so much of it this year. And Evan’s 
been here, I think, every day. Hey, who’s been here every day? I think Evan’s been a guy that’s 
been here every day. Uh, Jay Taylor, Dawn 100% has been here every day. Robert’s been here a lot. Uh, 
who’s been here every day? Ruben’s been here every day, I think. Yeah, I’m actually seeing here 
on this bit of a replay where the neutralized uh start started where the rail race started. It 
is super narrow and I noticed the bends in the road. I want to show you guys that right now. Take 
a look at the map here where they started. You   can actually see Yep. Fans standing on the road 
as usual. You wonder why you get hit. Come on, guys. I mean, that penalty that dude got e. So, 
this is where we’re going to be here today. Here’s the neutralized start. So, it is a nice easy 
neutralized start. They started right downtown   in Boline. Uh, man, I would love to hang out here. 
I’m thinking right on this corner somewhere here. There’s probably a fancy little uh pub restaurant. 
Hopefully, happy hour prices all the time. Just sit there, watch this little puddle of water here, 
and just enjoy life. No straight roads anywhere. Uh, but a nice leisurely stroll out of town 
on stage 17 here. But if you look down here, look where they do the neutralized start. Why 
would you do the neutralized start on this curvy,   swervy craziness through here? Uh, the roads 
are super narrow there. How about just take it out to here and then hit the neutralized start. 
Anyway, that’s what they wanted to do. Have at her guys trying to get off the front right now. It’s 
It’s constantly evolving. There’s Pache, Burgau,   Abrahamson, V, Albani. Oh, my important 
thing I want to do today, guys. Uh, yeah, you can see the attacks ripping right away. I 
honestly, this is one of my most important things   I want to do today cuz I talked about him so 
much yesterday. Did Gashinard survive? Did anyone Does anyone know that? Did Gashinard survive 
yesterday? We have to go back to stage 16. Uh, go to the bottom. We look for withdrawals. 
I guess he survived. He survived that stage. Somehow he got back on. At least he’s not showing 
up. Uh we know Matthew Vanderpole didn’t start   yesterday. Uh Danny Van Pppppel for Red Bull Bore 
Hands Grow didn’t start, guys. It’s a good thing and a bad thing. It’s a bad thing for us watching 
racing. It’s a good thing for them. They welcomed um a new baby into the family. So, Danny Van 
Pppppel, big leadout guy, sprinter type cyclist, uh, domestic wind blocker for the smaller riders. 
That’s basically what he is. He’s like the big   wind dam uh that they hide behind for 99% of the 
stage. Um, he went home. His wife just had a baby, so congratulations. Saw that first thing this 
morning. And back to the chat. Yeah, we’ve watched Quinn Simmons go on so many attacks. There has 
been no rider on the front of this year’s tour more than Quinn Simmons. So, he probably deserves 
a stage win at some point. I’m going to try to sit back a bit, guys. Uh, get back here in the seat. 
Still haven’t found the perfect position. It’s like getting your a good bike fit. Dawn’s here. 
Good morning, dudes. Hey, Don. If you’ve been here every day, guys, let me know. Oh, look at 
this. We got a new person here. Cassidy Arrington. Good morning from uh from the ATL. What is the 
ATL? I’m thinking Atlanta. Uh I’m not sure. Don saying, “Who is all helping Yonas with 
his kitchen renovations after the tour is   over? I am okay laying grout for a tech 
guy.” Okay, Don’s a tech guy. Didn’t know that. Let’s have a look see what’s going on 
here, guys. Yeah, Pache, Burgo, Abrahamson, and Albani. So, apparently Gashinard survived. 
Let’s do that quickly. Let’s sit back, Colin. Um, Gashinard is for Total Energies. Let’s see if 
he’s still there. He’s still there. This dude, this dude here, I think, was 23 minutes back 
at one point. Uh, yeah, he was crying riding on his bike. So, we lost Crass, I think, on the 
Termite stage. I think we lost Janeir here before that. So, awesome that this dude finished here. 
Awesome. Love it. Battle through it all. Uh Wade, yo-yo calling. Yo yo, bro. Yo yo. Uh 
unfortunate timing. Jordy Moose lead out man. Danny Vel and Papa with Drew. Yep. See all 
that swoosh kid. Thank you very much, dude. Uh Neil saying my audio calling is in and out. Uh is 
it just me? Might be a bit of lag, Neil. I’m not too sure. Things seem to be working good today, 
guys. Guys, you think I’d be really good at this,   but I’m not. I’m kind of terrible at this. I might 
be the world’s worst YouTuber. Uh Evan’s saying just hit the play button. Uh way good on his 
side. Good on Evan’s side. Wait, so Neil, maybe so your internet uh Neil, your internet at work 
is not working. Neil’s probably on a lunch break   now at the shop. Just, you know, kicking butt in 
the the auto uh the repair department there. Uh Neil’s just saying must be connection. And Neil, 
love having you here, dude. So guys, Neil is uh   in charge of Neil and Kyle. Uh two dudes who 
I met through Ruby through Inside Cycling. And uh so I’ve met them through Insta Cycling. They 
run a group called the Muckers Worldwide over   on Ruvie. The biggest most competitive race 
group on Ruvie. Uh they run races Thursdays, Tuesdays, Sunday morning hill climbs, aka 
Sunday uh after midnight hill climbs for Colin. 2 a.m. in the morning hill climbs 
for Colin. Uh, beautiful scenery here,   guys. Could they grow gra any more grapes 
in France? Could they? Is that possible? Uh, so yeah, Neil puts all those events on 
with Kyle. They have a cool blog. Uh,   they I think they got a podcast, too, that they 
run. Lots of stuff. So, yeah, and all these guys, I’ve chatted with them in real life, too, if you 
want to call it that, like phone calls. So, uh,   it’s good to see them here. Wait. Uh, teams will 
break away early in the race, which has been done very frequently these days. Yeah, there’s going 
to be a lot of pressure on the front. There’s   going to be a constantly evolving battle off the 
front. We’re going to see it right now, guys. Uh, there’s going to be teams trying to go off the 
front all day long here to get established in that   break. Remember what I said earlier. Only eight 
teams out of the 23 have won a stage. You win a stage, you just made your career and you made 
the tour for your team. So, in that front group,   let’s see who we got there. We’ve got an EF rider. 
They’ve won a stage. UNOX has won a stage. Yonas Abrahamson again. Uh this guy’s a like this guy’s 
a beast. UNOX. Yeah. World Tour team coming up here, folks. World Tour team. Uh we got Burgo from 
Total Energies. Uh and Groupama. These two teams really want to get something going. Group two 
trying to get away now as well. Axel Lawrence uh Inos Grenaders. Now they’ve done pretty well this 
tour already. I thought they were going to have   nothing this tour, but um big results for Inos 
Grenaders this year would be a second place and a first place for Time and Arensman. Uh the win on 
the mountain stage earlier up the uh Super Baners and a second place from on the other mountain 
stage or hilly stage I think they called it. And then don’t forget Carlos Rodriguez. Why don’t we 
do that quickly? Uh just look at the GC standings and we’ll see who’s up there. And if you don’t 
think these teams are fighting over 8th, 9th, 10th place, you haven’t followed the tour long enough. 
Uh, so two days ago, 3 days ago, I think it was, Carlos Rodriguez was in 10th place. He took it 
away from Ben Healey. Ben Healey took it back yesterday uh resoundingly uh after he took back 
3 minutes. It was a 15-second difference at the start of yesterday. So Ben with that huge attack 
uh yesterday uh that huge battle with Perry Ponch, Santiago Braago was there as well. Uh Enrich Mass 
early on it looked like he might be able to hold them off. He did fade hard at the end, but if you 
watch the replay, even if you look at my video, I’m talking about it in there. Enrich Mass got 
caught. He got dropped by the two of them. Healey and Perry Ponch went. They dropped Mass. Mass was 
able to battle his way back on. uh he just doesn’t have the explosive power they do to get away. He 
did get dropped eventually, but that even allowed   uh Santiago Betrogo to come back on. Uh I like 
to call him Van Wilder, Van Wilder, uh Illen Van Wilder, he came back on. He came up and I actually 
watched the replay cuz when when I was watching   that yesterday, I was kind of like I’m scratching 
my head here. I’m like, where did he come from? And I noticed that uh the commentator said the 
ex Nicholas Ro said the exact same thing too on the highlights. He’s like, “Where did he just come 
from?” Uh they were just flying up the hill behind them. As hard as they were going, there was riders 
coming fast. Uh guy that looked super impressive to me was Primos. Uh Primos was flying up the hill 
uh assisting his younger teammates. If you look at the finish line, you’ll see Raj looking back at 
Leapowitz to say, “Hey, bro, you okay? you good? Let’s get you up here. Let’s secure that third 
place. I think they want to try to get Primos into fourth place overall, which would be smart for 
them for Red Bull. That even helps protect third place even more. So, I can see Primos going out 
on attacks uh tomorrow. Uh I think Primos looks like he’s deaged about five five to seven years. 
Uh looking really really good out there. Okay. Uh, just going to get back to the chat and start 
catching up, guys, before I fall too far behind   again. Okay, Neil’s all fixed up. UA might have 
a plan up their sleeves for today’s race. Oo, Wade, what are you thinking? Send out Tim 
Wellins again. Tical Nichols, bonjour, guys. Glad to be here. Enjoy your day. Uh, okay. Sorry 
guys. Uh, yeah, this is jumping around already. Yeah. So, yeah, Tim Williams. So, we got four 
riders out front, guys. We got four in the front   group right now. Pache, Burgau, Abrahamson, and 
Albani. Uh, Abrahamson, you know, I got to say this guy might be my number two behind Quinn 
Simmons for the most work on the front. Seems to always be up there working hard for UNOX. Just 
feeling super good right now. We’ll show the time slits here. So, here’s our front four. Uh, it’s 
almost a minute back to Axel Lawrence here. finds himself just riding in no man’s land. And then we 
got the Pelon 2 minutes 14 seconds back. Hopefully Felix Gaul’s transponder is working today. It is. 
So I never saw him once yesterday. So when we got into the hot and heavy parts of the stage when 
we climbed out of uh Bedawin towards the MON 2, uh I spent a lot of time researching that yes 
yesterday. So um the overall time up the MON 2 uh was eclipsed yesterday. It was held by Ibon 
Mayo I think since 2001. And I and I actually thought to myself, yeah, but what about the 
shorter segment because they don’t actually every   time I’ve seen stats in the past, it’s never 
been the full climb because the first little bit out of Bedawin is just barely climbing. 
There’s a 15.9 kilometers from the finish. uh it from the climb uh of the climb I should 
say that’s where they always say and it starts here not the whole five kilometers before 
it either way doesn’t matter uh Pugachara now has both of them and I think a lot of riders 
broke the old time yesterday uh super super fast really interesting to me to see how these things 
evolve you know I’ve I’ve joked about it before   in the stream it’s taken 30 years of technology 
and improvements uh to beat El Per 30 years to beat him. Uh cuz he did hold the uh the 15.9 
km segment, the real race segment. Actually, I think on the stream yesterday or if you look 
at highlights, there’s a hard switch back, a little turn, and that’s where it starts. That’s 
where they say, “Okay, race on. This is it.” Um and other people will record the full segment from 
Bedawin. Okay. Um, yes, Wade. Milan is still in the green jersey. I think it’s by 11 points. The 
most winning team is between UAE and Alpison. Uh, so Al UE has five stage wins. Sudal has four 
stage wins. And what does Alpison have? They   won the first stage and the second stage. Um, 
maybe they’ve only won two stages. I’m not sure. So yeah, for Sudall we have, don’t forget guys, we 
got two stages by Tim Merlier and we got one stage by Remco and we got one stage by Perry Pon. So 
that should be four stages. I was doing this last night when I was pretty fatigued. So Abrahamson 
spoiled Milon’s points yesterday. Uh yeah, I think he was ahead in that group. He was ahead in that 
group. That’s right. Game on stage 17. Yeah, Wade, good point here. Uh, I thought to climb up the 
Momb 2. Lots of groups here, guys. It’s all going   to split apart here now. Here we go. We’ve already 
got four groups on the road. Who is in group four? Uh, Rickert for Alpasyn Coin. He was the guy who 
I think was having a freezy pop this morning. I couldn’t tell what flavor it was. Maybe it been 
like a watermelon flavor. Not my favorite. If you   guys know what I’m talking about, you buy those 
things when you’re a kid. You take the scissors, cut the top off, they’re so wide that you 
end up cutting the sides of your mouth. Um, yeah. Yonas Pogy yesterday, guys. What did you 
think? Did you think Yonas was in any trouble? I I don’t think Yonas looked outside the last 20 
meters when he just basically parked it and let Pogy get another two points. Quinn Simmons sitting 
on the front, guys. Uh, looks pretty pretty leisurely there right now. Hard to tell. Uh, yeah. 
46.1 km an hour. So, not as fast as yesterday’s start. I think yesterday’s start we were right 
under 52k an hour. They’ve got the whole road   blocked. Uh Sudal on the left side of the road. 
Trek Bora hands grow kind of like dominating the front end of the Pelaton right now. I think 
they’re trying to keep the speed down a little   bit. Lots of speed bumps in here. Okay. Yeah. So, 
I never thought Yonas looked in trouble at all outside the last two seconds. Uh, I think Poggy, 
just my visual what I was seeing and I did hear later from other sources. Yeah, Rickard’s riding 
out the back. He looks fine though. Just leisurely riding back up through the cars. Poggy looked like 
he was in he wasn’t in trouble. He was grimacing, suffering a little bit. He did say there was 
points he was suffering. You can read his comments   uh in the forest section. So he I think he was 
just kind of like a little bit uncomfortable in that forested section that was like a lot of 10%. 
Uh maybe it was hotter during the forest area, not so much wind getting to them. He was 
visibly grimacing and then he looked better uh for the rest. Every attack Yonas made, 
Pogy countered. Uh any attacks Pogy made, Yonas countered completely. Uh I think they 
were pretty much even Steven yesterday. Wade saying here, “Yeah, 
Yonas looking in great form.” Uh, Neil, Neil, thank you so much. Neil got the 
warm coffee today. I I kept I was like a little kid yesterday telling uh Joey Jojo how much I 
love my coffee warmer. Neil Rusky Muckers Worldw Wine. Thank you so much. Grab a brew a brew on 
me, mate. Got to get back to work, dude. Thank you so much. Thank you to Neil here. Um, Wade’s 
pointing upwards, I think, at the coffee. Uh, does Bing just try to get on any stage one today 
just to try and say he still has it? Yeah. Yeah, they Inter Mare, what has Intermar done this 
tour, guys? They’ve had Bing thereabouts. Um, I think there was one stage finale early on at 
the tour this year where Bingum was right there. Otherwise, he’s been second place, second fiddle 
to Jonathan Milan the entire tour. And that’s just kind of the way it seems to be, isn’t it? 
Like last year, guys, it was Bingham dominating   everything. Bingham won three stages last year. 
Tatty at this point has only won four. So, uh, Israel premier tech rider here back at the 
cars having a little chat with the boss. Okay. Uh, got lots of stuff going through my 
mind here. Yep. So, Cassidy saying here she’s   from U Arrington. I think Cassidy is a she. 
I’m not sure. Please say hi, Ca Cassidy. Yeah, Bingham’s got to get involved in something. 
Just it’s points, guys. I’ve done a lot of   looking at the UCI points. Did you know? 
Uh, so UCI points, best I can describe it, it’s on a 52 week, how do I call it? Uh, 
do you say it revolving or moving? Moving. Okay. Okay. Hang on a second, guys. I 
I do want to read this feed from guys. I can squeeze through and jump 
to those four. There’s Abra. So,   Inos wants the riders to jump up 
there and get to those four riders. They They always want to counter Abrahamson. 
Going to get his live cam. Quinn Simmons. Team Simmons on the front, guys. He’s always up 
there. I say that every day now. Uh UCI points. Looking at them yesterday. They run on a 52- week 
rotating uh or moving calendar. So, basically, if you scored a point 365 days ago, tomorrow it’s 
gone. It’s on that rotating. It only goes back one year. It 1300 points for first for first place at 
the tour of France. 1300 points. Right now, Tatty overall has 13,000 something points. Uh number two 
is Remco with like just under 6,000. So Tatty’s got more than two times Ranquist points. Uh far 
and away the best rider right now. Even if you win a stage at the tour, I think it’s 200 I think it 
was 210 points. So it’s really interesting to see how they can get these points. All these points 
are important for these teams. That’s why they fight over. That’s why ninth place is important. 
That’s why 18th place is important. I find there’s a lot of people just watch. Okay, who won? Uh, I 
like the smaller battles, too. Uh, they’re very interesting. Okay. Uh, guys, just doing the 
chat here again. Uh, thanks for the coverage. Great. Phil Thomas here from Florida, USA. Hey, 
Phil. Nice to meet you and welcome aboard the chat. I’m just going to scroll down a bit here, 
guys, so I can get my stuff under control. Wow, early fans here today. Actually, it was a late 
start, guys. Uh, neutral. I started at 5:35 a.m.   in the morning for me. Uh, feel like I slept 
in today. Yesterday, that 10 after 4 in on the morning start, that was brutal. I think we got one 
more of those coming up, too. So, this dude will be putting in the work. Uh, Phil Thomas earlier. 
Yeah, Phil, they were right off the gun. Right off the gun here today. Uh, I’m looking at the live 
tracking right now. We should have still four riders in the front group. Uh Pache for Groupama, 
Burgo for Total Energies, Abrahamson for Unoex, and Albani for EF. So EF still representing up 
front. Man, could you imagine if Ben Healey would have won yesterday? Like he was right there. He 
was right there. Go back and watch the highlights,   guys. You’ll see how hard uh Valentine Pipon uh 
you guys know I love saying that name. How hard he was working. He was rocking his bike so hard 
at the top trying to squeeze out every last watt out of his legs. Uh he is super skinny. His legs, 
his arms look like toothpicks. Uh he’s an allout climber. Group two still got Axel Lawrence riding 
solo for the Grenaders. So maybe he listened to that radio from earlier and uh decided to jump up 
there. He’s been the guy designated to do it. How do you How you boys feeling today? 158 riders 
in the main pelaton. And then we got Rickert. I think he’s still having his freezy pop out the 
back. You know, he is quite a ways back right now. Minute and seven back. Yeah, he’s okay. 
Um, at this point, we start a gradual climb, false flatty. This kind of train here to 
me looks like 1 to 2% just slowly climbing. Let’s get it to the chat. Yeah, breakaways get you 
on the podium. Okay, Don saying, “What’s better than one stage win?” Two stage wins. Every day is 
a classics race. Yes, it is. Today is a classics   race for sure. Sheila’s here. Sheila is saying, 
“Me.” So, I think Sheila is saying, “Oh, maybe Sheila is saying she’s been here every day.” Uh, 
Primos is doing his part to support Lipoitz with his podium finish and white jersey. Yeah, exactly. 
Uh Lipoitz looks so set up to uh take third place. They just want to protect it from Oscar only 
sneaking up. Oscar only looks incredible too. Uh Lipoitz I think is really fortunate and I 
he knows it that he’s got Primos there with him. Uh he’s got you know Grand Tour winner uh 
riding with him. Andrew Moss here. Good morning all. Hey Andrew. Andrew’s back again. Okay. Uh, 
Brandon, disappointed that Pogy and Vingo don’t work together better and aren’t racing smart. 
They broke away at the wrong time. I question   their coaches now. They could have easily have won 
yesterday. They were moving up fast. Uh, I think it was down to 30 seconds at one point, but Tatty 
said he did suffer yesterday and I think I think they were both at their limits yesterday. Uh, you 
know, they’re sitting at 99.99% of their ability. Uh, Yonas can only attack so hard. If he 
blows, Tatty takes more time out of him. If Tatty attacks and he blows, Yonas pulls more 
time back. So, it’s that just that fine line of when do you go. I did some research yesterday, 
too. And I don’t know if was which year it was that Yonas won. It was on the call to Grenal, 
a longer HC climb, and there was a 4 km segment where Tatty lost almost 4 minutes on one climb. 
So, Pog I’m gonna just try to call him Pogy from now on because everyone hates my pronunciation. 
Uh, it’s okay. I’m okay with it. Um, so yeah, in 4 km Pogy lost 4 minutes and that’s how we lost 
the tour of to France that that year. That’s what Vizma has their fingers cross for right now. Vizma 
is just thinking we just got to tire him out. We just got to tire him out. And to me, that’s that’s 
a strategy. If if you’re tired out and you’re not good enough to maintain those levels for three 
weeks straight, well then you don’t win the tour of France. Just like when Primos got tired on 
that on that hill climb and Pogy took it from him. Uh Wade’s agreeing with 
Brandon. That’s true. I agree. Don saying here Colin, you are correct. 
Sudal is second for more stage wins.   Alpison is third in stages 
and jerseys. Okay, thanks Don. Uh, okay, Brandon, good point here, 
guys. I love all these comments   uh from people that know about cycling. 
Uh, Pogy definitely looked like he could have been dropped by Vingo. And if it wasn’t 
for his teammates spraying him with water,   it’s possible he could have been overheated 
and dropped. Who sprayed him down? Brandon, I did see a few riders doing that yesterday. 
I saw I think it was Abrahamson spraying down Johansson. So Abrahamson was in the break and 
when his team leader eighth overall tour of France came by he sprayed him down. I actually saw 
an inter intermar rider. I think he sprayed down an Inos rider. I think I did I did talk about it 
during the stream. Uh so obviously they know each other from the past. I’d like to think that they 
were juniors racing together and they were best   friends in a past life and now they’re on pro 
teams killing it at the world tour. Yeah. So, who was it that sprayed uh Pogy down yesterday? I 
got to think maybe it would have been Adam Yates maybe cuz he was there. Uh I did notice too that 
uh whether obviously it didn’t click the way they wanted but Vizma’s plan was kind of getting going 
yesterday. It’s just that Pogy was able to react to it. Yesterday was I would agree too. That’s 
the first time I’ve seen Pogy kind of hurting. We saw a little bit I think on Super Baners just 
a little bit but when he was coming out of the trees his mouth was open. He was grimacing. He 
was hot. Vizma had Camparts up the road. Uh, Seous put put in a huge pull. Camparts drifted 
back. He put in a pole. They’re just hoping that at one of those pulls, Tatty just falls off. 
The problem is Tatty’s just going to sit behind Yonas and get a little bit of a draft off him. So, 
he’s kind of using Campen Arts as well. Okay. Hey, I think if Vingo let Pogy blow up on a breakaway, 
he could beat Pogy. Okay, so that’s from Brandon again. So yeah, I’m thinking that that’s our only 
chance left. So guys, going into the tour, odds on favorite far and away was Pogy. Uh it still looks 
like that. It’s not surprising to me. Vizma’s strategy is to wear him out. That’s what they did 
before. They wore him out before on the stage the two times that Yonas won before. Pogy was winning 
stages then, too. But he had times when he would just kind of fade a little bit. Uh it’s new pogy. 
I get it. Uh bar of George. From what I can see, Trek is already there in the front and they start 
to pull soon. So let’s regroup and remember, eat and drink. Next two days are going to be much 
harder. So that’s the radio from team uh DS over at Bing Victorious. Pelaton is super stretched 
out right now. I’m just going to catch up here, guys. See where we’re at. Uh, leading group right 
now. Four riders still there just going for it. Abrahamson. Yeah, most combative for me right 
now. Quinn Simmons would be most combative of the entire tour to France. 2 minutes 45 second 
gap. Things are getting heated up now. Sprint point is there. 135 kilometers remaining. Not the 
longest stage today. Uh, this is going to set us up nicely for tomorrow. It’s only 160 km today, 
guys. Let’s see if we can get anything here. Okay,   so Lance Ax, I think it was Axel Laurance sits up 
and waits for the bunch. That was the Inos rider. Two teams and three riders pulled a bunch. Tibo 
Nice from Liddell Trek, Quinn Simmons, Sudall’s, Mac Shackman. Okay guys, well those teams Jonathan 
Milan and Tim Merlier uh sprinters Tim may be out of the points classification right now. Uh 
but still wants to sprint when sitting on the   front right now. I’m watching Sudal working. Three 
Sudal riders up there at least two or three track riders. They’re all driving the front right now. 
Trying to get fully caught back up here so I can see the actual live tracking better. I think I’m 
pretty far behind here. Let me do this. Uh live live. I just hit the button. I think that’s what 
I do. I just hit live. Okay. Just learning things on the fly here. Uh can anyone see Pogy snapping 
cracking a little bit tomorrow or the day after? Uh Brooke Brook Bullock here. Who are the 
favorites for today? sprinters, breakaway artists, uh Quinn Simmons is hunting a stage win. It could 
be Abrahamson. Uh guys we’ve seen do it before. So in the front breakaway right now for Abrahamson’s 
there. That dude won stage 11. One stage 11. I’ve talked about him before. Uh his collarbone was 
broken only a few weeks back. I think it’s less than a month. And then he’s racing at the Tour of 
France getting a stage victory. Just squeaked out   a victory over Mororrow Schmidt of team JCO Alula. 
Uh it was probably like a quarter of a wheel length and they went on a huge break all day long. 
Jake was up there. Sorry, Quinn Simmons. Team Simmons. He’s got his own team this year, guys. 
Uh Sudal’s there. The rest of the track riders are   there. Victor Camponarts in the mix. And another 
another Vizma rider. Okay, there he is. There’s four Vizma riders up there. I thought today that 
maybe uh Yonas was wearing a different helmet. Okay. Uh just Inos re just radioing back. 
If you can hear me, I’m coming back. Uh too much energy trying to catch that four 
rider break up front. Average speed right   now 45k. So it’s a lot slower than yesterday 
up to this point. At this point yesterday, we were just hovering under 52k an hour. Average 
speed. Don here. Pogy said there were moments of stage 16 where he was at his limit. Not bad for 
how he has been for the first 15 stages. A perfect stage for the sprinters today. Yeah, Don, that’s 
what I was reading, too. Uh, again, I keep saying   these guys aren’t robots. Uh, they’re all good at 
different things. They can have some good years, they can have bad years. They can have a couple of 
good days. If you have one bad day at the Tour to   France, you could be out. Uh, the years that Yonas 
won, that’s what it took. It took like one bad day for Pogy and then Vizma capitalized on it. Lots 
of things have changed. Poggy’s probably better. Vizma’s team maybe not as strong and I would say 
that’s primarily uh Vout’s not as dominant as he was before. So Vout’s off a little bit right 
now. Uh Yonas is he is he the same as he was? It’s really neat going back guys. go back and look 
at like 2022, 2023 tour to France when Yonas won. The pictures where you see Yonas finishing 
ahead of Pogy all the time. Uh it’s like, oh yeah, that really happened. It did happen. 
Uh Andrew Moss. Okay. Uh just trying to get back here again. Was a great race. Nice to see the lead 
groups racing each other so hard and one v2 having their own battle. Yeah, Andrew. I love all the 
battles. Uh, I thought it was cool seeing Carlos   Rodriguez hanging in there. Uh, I always mix up 
this guy’s name and I got to apologize to him. Tobias Johansson for Uno X cuz he’s probably 
my favorite rider out there right now. Uh, crosses the finish line, collapses, needs oxygen, 
just absolutely buried himself. And he did have a teammate right alongside of him. So, that team 
is fully committed to him keeping eighth place at the Tour of France. Remember guys, they get 
UCI points. UCI points are ranked individually, team, and nation. And I think there’s one other 
um I’ll have to remember that there’s four ranking systems. So, right now, Pogy, far and away the 
best rider over the past uh 365 days and longer, obviously, because it’s Pogy. Number number 
one team is actually UAE. That makes sense. biggest budget, best riders, uh they should be. 
But guess what? Number one country, they’re going to love this is Belgium. They are the number one 
ranked nation in the world at cycling right now   over the past 365 and probably longer. Uh so 
yeah, Andrew, uh yeah, it was awesome seeing those battles. S uh Simon uh Michael here, 
Bingy Germaya will win. So he’s cheering for Bingham today. This could be a Bingham day if he 
hangs in there. Uh the two sprint uh climbs are far enough from the end that the sprinters can 
get back together. We’ll see if that happens. The prediction was for Tatty to have 
win six stages by July 27th. Well, he’s got four right now, Dawn, right? Does 
he have four? Sorry, guys. Need a sip. Love my coffee warmer. Thank you 
so much, guys. I told Joey, “Yeah,   that’s what we that’s what we’re doing here.” 
She knew I needed it. She got it for me, but I’m like, “It’s coming through you 
guys with the uh the coffee donation.” So,   I love it. Uh okay, so Don, he still has he 
could win tomorrow. Stage 17 very easily. He could win stage 18 very easily. Uh sorry, 18 and 
19. We’re on 17 today. 20 and 21 he won’t win. Like most likely the odds are probably not in 
his favor to win them. 21 he probably won’t win because he doesn’t need to win it. If it stays 
at four minutes, he’s not going to go to the   front and crash out of the Tour to France in the 
last 10 km and be laying on the side of the road hurt. That’s not going to happen. 20 looks more 
like a hard sprint stage. So yeah, he could win six stages. He could also crack on one of them. 
Guy’s just trying to hype it up a little bit. Uh this is Brandon again. Brandon, you’re 
number three in the comments today. Awesome   job. I think Vingo needs a teammate to lead 
him up to a strong breakaway. And he seems to be very strong. I would not be surprised if 
Vingo wins the tour in the Alps. Go Ving. Oh,   so Brandon is putting it out there, folks. I like 
this. I like Brandon. He’s not hedging his bets, doing the safe bet on Pogy. He’s stepping out, 
going on a limb, guys. Putting his neck out   there. He thinks Vingigo is going to win in the 
Alves. It wouldn’t surprise me either. I I think it was the 2023 year. Uh it said Vingo took the 
lead and I was tired again yesterday. Uh I did do a ride. These rides are way harder than what 
they should be for right now. I’m needing to   recover afterwards. Uh it was a 26 km ride and I 
I thought I need to rest. I wanted to see how the yellow jersey was flip-flopping. Uh, I think 
Yonas might have had it early, then lost it, but the time standings on every stage, I think 
he only got it back in stage 16 of that year. So, we’re kind of right on track. Uh, if he’s 
going to do it, if he wants to repeat 2023, it’s going to have to be like tomorrow. Uh, Andrew 
Moss here, upgrade your mind after 40, bro, from uh, Ontario, Canada. I think he said Burlington. 
Thanks for the coffee, dude. Really appreciate it. all the supporters, all the subscribers, all the 
people that hit that like, the bell notification thing. I never say that enough. I don’t really 
want to. Uh, the likes are really good, guys. The   likes are really good. Thank you so much, Andrew. 
Fellow Canadian here. Uh, Don’s watching from New Jersey. Dawn here has been here like every day, 
I think. Alma, hello from Texas. I’m late. Elma, you’re just on time. Don’t worry about it. Just 
on time. Let’s give a little catch up here,   guys. We got four riders still off the front, 
still working. Uh we’ll go to the live track and just so we can see what’s going on. I’m 
looking for some wind direction coming in today,   folks. I’m looking at the looking at the graphics 
now. There are flags on the side of the road. They are flopping around pretty good. They’re flopping 
around pretty good. They are in the trees there,   too. So, the winds might be stronger than what 
I even think. So, let me keep an eye on that. Here’s our groups. Two big groups. We got 160 
riders in the main pelaton. That’s going to be all the GC guys and all the sprinters. We got 
four riders up the road. Abrahamson going for the spoiler. He’s thinking breakaway today. 
He’s thinking I’m going to get far enough   ahead. Uh they’re never going to catch me. They’re 
never going to see me again. Uh Tequila Nichols. Bonjour. Guys, always have a pleasure. Colin, keep 
up the great work. You all have a good day. So,   I think Tika is heading out out to enjoy a 
sunny after day afternoon afternoon in France. Ooh, wow. Does he really weigh that little? Wow. I 
love those kinds of stats, Don. You could tell by looking at him like it’s like he has just like a 
a sheath of skin over top of his bones. So skinny when he was rocking his bike at the end there. I 
think he look he looks he makes Ben Healey look   overweight. He was so skinny. Cool point from Don 
here. Valentine Paron weighs 114 lbs. I haven’t been at that weight since I was eight uh 16 years 
old. I think one of my legs weighs that. Uh guys, full-size guy. Full-size guy here. Uh Don saying 
his fans all call him Pogy. Well, wasn’t didn’t Pogy mean handsome in a different language? Uh I 
think so. Don, if Pogy showed any signs of Tesser, he still gained two seconds. That’s right, 
he did. Uh, he picked up two seconds in the   very finish there. Team Simmons on the front 
driving hard, guys. 49k an hour. I think the speed might be picking up now. Uh, still average 
speed 44.4. It is just a long drag upwards here. I’d like to see Intermar get on the front. 
If Bingam wants to win, his team is going to have to be up there. Sitting for far back, it’s 
not going to help him. Let’s get some points. Okay, let’s get back to the chat here. Uh Marlin 
was here. Maybe he’s just message retracted. Marlin, where you from, bro? I see you lurking 
here in the chat. Great. Everyone’s here. Just   under 200 riders, 200 people watching today. kind 
of think today midweek uh we’re wedged in between the vontu and the two single hardest days of the 
tour to France coming up right away. I would say tomorrow is probably the hardest with the cold de 
la at the end. Uh it’s a 26.4 km climb. Uh stage 19 is really hard, but there’s three absolute 
banger HC’s. They’re HC pluses. I’ve designated it’s a new term. The UCI is probably going to want 
to adopt it from me. So it’s patented already.   I’ve already got it covered, guys. Uh, tour to 
France. You can’t take that from me. HC Plus, and there might even be one above that called 
a plus+. That’s in the works right now. I’m all   about the plus+. Uh, Brand Oni, I believe 
Adam Yates sprayed them. Okay. Yeah, guys, when I see that happen, it’s like it’s probably so 
refreshing when you’re dying in 30° C weather to just get that little bit of spray of cool water. 
And again, those two dudes on opposite teams, one just sees the other and goes, “Man, I’m going 
back here, dude. Take a cold spray from me.” Uh, just the camaraderie. I love it. Uh, Don saying, 
“I’ve been hopeful for Campers’s tour. He’s just a little short. I think he is split between his 
duties for Yonas and their personal goals is why   their tactics are backfiring.” Yeah, it did work 
out good yesterday. He was up the road and he was able to help uh Yonas, but I was watching 
him. I saw Campart slowing down, waiting, and then I was like, “Okay, dude. You’re going 
to have to speed up because the two the freight   train’s coming.” He did pace uh Yonas for a while. 
At that point, though, it’s probably more of a mental thing. I don’t think he’s really doing that 
much to help them. Uh you’ve got the two world’s best climbers doing their own thing. I think it’s 
more just, hey, my teammate’s here. He’s helping me. I’ve got this. I’ve got support. Uh, it is a 
team sport. So, at the front right now, it’s Sudal and Trek strung out pretty far. Then I’m seeing 
Vizma riders up there. Uh, Intermar is piling up behind them. Intermar and then looks like Arca 
B&B hotels. Uh, it’s kind of like the the one single file line of 20 riders and then a blob of 
the Pelaton that’s slowly starting to stretch out, guys. slowly starting to stretch out oras. Yahoo. 
Bro, yesterday at stage 16, I caught a glimpse of Mark Solair going crazy chasing uh Pogy who 
who’s with Bonoot and Yonas Vingo. I feel like he like the likes of Yates and Solair will make 
their presence felt. Yeah, I didn’t see much of Solair yesterday. Um you must have been watching 
something different or I was too busy in the chat   here. Uh but yeah, guys like Solair, they can pop 
up tomorrow. That’s probably more of his type of stage, these super long 20 kilometer plus climbs. 
So, tomorrow guys, we’re gonna basically have three sta three hill climbs that are essentially 
the Mambong 2 again. Uh they’re huge. Uh may not be as steep in places, but they’re all like 
they’re all HC categorized just like uh the MO2 is. Uh, and most riders early in the week weren’t 
that like, “Oh my god, it’s the MON 2, we’re all going to die.” They’re like worried later in the 
week when the fatigue is really set in. Uh, those days are designed to destroy the tour. So, all 
Tatty has to do is survive them, ride with Yonas, and he’s won the tour to France. So, Solair was 
in the mix yesterday, too, that I didn’t see. UAE rewards their loyal riders like Tim Wells with the 
polka dots jersey and the green light to go for   stage one when the time is right. Yeah, exactly. 
When uh you know Pogy’s got the lead right now, it should be okay. Who can we set up for the win 
today? I really like when the main rider on the   team helps his teammates win too. Uh it can’t be 
just all about the GC guy. Otherwise, your support riders are going like, man, I’m those support 
riders probably think, man, I’m pretty good. I’m a   good cyclist. I can do this. Uh maybe I need to go 
somewhere else. Uh where is Iuso these days guys? Where is he? Uh okay. So we got once here uh from 
Sydney. Once here looks like a brand new viewer today. Uh from Sydney, Australia, I believe. 
Or perhaps Sydney, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Oo, look at this dude here. Uh Mark 
Haymons, greetings from Turkey. Dude, when I see your name there, I wanted to say Mattie Haymon. Uh 
DS right now for Is he for Jacob? No. Uh yeah, he is for Jacob. He’s for Jo Ola. Matty Hmons won the 
Peru Bay a few years back. Uh great cyclist. Love that guy. So just when I see your name, Hmon’s 
there. So Mark Haymon’s here. Brand new today from Turkey. We’ve got uh Vika Franco uh cheering on 
Pogy. Vika, are you Slovenian? I’m just trying to guess by your name. I could be totally wrong, but 
I’m just taking a wild guess. Just putting it out   there. This is a big gamble on my part, guys. Just 
seen some promos for the FEM’s tour. Guys, don’t forget Tour to France Fecift. Uh I’m going to use 
that whole name the whole time. They’re doing some promos right now for the ladies tour. Ah, I just 
did it. I don’t want to call it the ladies tour. I don’t want to call it the girls tour either. I 
should don’t do that calling. Uh it’s the women’s   tour, but I think I can say ladies tour too 
or the fems. Uh I watched all the highlights again yesterday. Yes. Last year’s tour stage tour 
was pretty controversial for uh the women. Um go back and watch the highlights guys and you can 
see the battles that are coming up. It’s going   to be insane. Um, okay guys, just blasting 
along here, trying to catch up with folks. 164 riders remain from 181 riders from stage one. 
We did lose a couple riders in stage one. We lost Ghana and I think we lost Bissinger in stage 
one alone. Yeah, guys, don’t forget women’s tour starts Saturday. How I’m doing that, I can’t 
do both stages at the same time. I might try to do something later in the day so it’ll be live for me 
watching flow bikes over here telling you the best I can about it or I might do a hour to an hour 
and a half pre uh live stream before the stage three on the Monday. So the women’s tour starts 
Saturday. Stage one and two Saturday and Sunday.   Stage three would be Monday. They just run nine 
days straight. They don’t they don’t do a rest day. They don’t need a rest day like the men’s 
guys. Just kidding. Uh, so they do nine stages. They start in Britany. Uh, so it’s going to be 
windy crosswinds. They have a couple of stages   up there. Could be pure mayhem for them. Uh, and 
then they work their way completely across to the southeast corner of France. Uh, where they start 
taking on the mountains. So, I’m thinking stage one and two will be like a a preamble to the live 
stream that day. Moving on, guys. Moving on. Uh, oh, that’s right. KBSS reviews. Dude, who are you? 
Uh, thanks for jumping in. You I can tell you’re a lurker because you heard what I said. Poggy means 
handsome in Tagalog. Uh, Filipino language here, guys. Uh, tagalog. I am full pogy today, bro. Full 
pogy. I’m going full pogy. Hoping that. Anyways, uh, Pogy Vanderbriger from Julius Caesar here. 
Julius has been on a lot too. Intermar Lotto, FDJ need to do something today. Second to last 
chance from Yeah, they are running out of chances.   Sudalo on the front. Team Simmons up there as 
well. Tom Skoyans. Uh taking a look at Victor here in his super arrow helmet. He refuses to wear 
a ventilated helmet. Doesn’t need it because he’s shaved bald. Uh just coming on the back of the 
group right now. They’re obviously in a It’s interesting seeing this and I like seeing this. 
They’re in a uh garbage. You’re allowed to dump   your garbage here because there’s just junk all 
over the road. So, it is kind of cool they fixed that up. The bottles I don’t care about because 
I know the bottles are going to be collected by   someone, but like the gels and the wrappers and 
all that. Previous years in the tour, like I think maybe even 5 years ago, it was just all thrown 
out. And now I think there was cleanup crews that went behind them, but still they can’t get it 
all. So now they have designated uh dumping spots. So if you’re brand new here and you’re like, 
“Okay, I like this tour to France stuff. It’s   got good scenery. I don’t know one person here. 
I don’t know who this guy is talking to me. Colin inside Cycling World. That’s who it is. Uh they 
have designated like 1 to 2 kmter long intervals where you dump your garbage here and if you 
don’t, you’re going to get a fine later. Uh Wake Bong watching from Sweding here. You’re awesome. 
Thank you so much, dude. No, you’re awesome. Guys, I’m going to work on the camera today. Joey said 
to me my camera setup was terrible yesterday. I   had it too much over here. I’m trying to get it 
more kind of like face level. She actually said uh she’s constantly got me doing things. She goes, 
“You need to do redo your entire studio.” So,   I guarantee you in the back of her mind, she’s 
already got it planned out. She’s probably going to have me doing rens today. Yonas, bro, I 
need your help. Yonas, I I’m doing some floor laminations in here, laminated flooring, vinyl. 
Um, I need your help, bro. Just stop racing at the tour of France. I’ll fly you over my dime and uh 
I need some of your assistance over here. Okay, so Wake Bong, dude, thank you so much for watching. 
Dude, where are you in Sweden? When people say   Sweden, I’m like, give me give me something more. 
Where you at? Sweden, guys. Uh just so you know, big for uh all the Nordic sports. They’re actually 
really involved in uh sled dog racing as well, guys. I think I’m going to do some of that 
this winter, too. So, the channel’s a bit of   everything. channel is 99.9% cycling and.1% other 
stuff. So, that’s going to come down the road cuz Joey’s like, I’ve talked to her about it before. 
She’s like, you’d be really good at that. Uh,   but you need to make a new channel. I don’t want 
to make a new channel. I just not interested. So, I’m going to do some sled dog racing this 
winter. What does that mean? I jump in   my car. I head way up north. We’re talking Oh, 
thousand kilometers north of here. Thousand? Oh, yeah. It could be. Uh I think it’s 800 kilometers 
from here to uh say Prince Albert and then Lrange is probably another 200 kilometers up the highway. 
Lange is kind of like the end of the road. After   that it’s like gravel roads, trails. Uh in 
the wintertime the roads are the lakes. You drive down onto the lake and you drive along the 
lakes. I’ve been up there. I’ve done those races. I think it would be really cool because 
as a camera dude on the side of the road,   I raced dogs for 21 years. If I saw a musher 
in trouble, you c you can assist them. So, if you see a runaway team coming down the trail, 
I would have no problems watching that team and knowing how to wrangle them. Uh my key thing would 
be when I see a runaway team at a dog race, guys, we still got our four riders up front. They got a 
2 minute and 15 second gap here. Things are just   getting teed up for the sprint point coming 
up. It’s coming real fast though. Coming real fast. Going to jump back to the other point. If 
I ever saw a runaway team coming down the road,   it does happen all the time. Uh I would be looking 
for dogs that are tangled because when they get tangled, that’s when they get injured. Let’s 
take a look at the average speed right now. 44.2. So guys, it’s really not that fast. However, 
looking at the front of the Pelon right now,   you would think it was an all sprint. Now they’re 
finally showing the winds today for me here, guys. Uh the winds right now are coming across their 
left shoulder crosswind to just barely a tailwind like a cross left side tailwind at this point. 
So how will that affect the race later? Yeah, when there’s the turns and the roads, it’s going 
to start changing things up right before the   sprint point. Uh due to the the way the road 
turns, uh it becomes more of a cross headwind just slightly. Team Simmons sitting on the front. 
uh mullet just rocking it right out. I think he’s the only rider with a mullet. He’s one of a kind 
this guy. Uh having a little Kag Martan here. Uh rider that hasn’t done a ton this year. However, 
he sits at 13th overall for Groupama, 35 minutes down. Uh maybe looking for an exploit exploitive 
attack uh tomorrow or Friday in the mountains. Some of these big long stages when the GC is 
getting kind of tired GC leaders they’ll allow huge breaks to go. Yeah. Sudal leadel trek at the 
front guys and I’ll do what I do before. Um best way for me to do it is kind of jump to the live 
track mode because it won’t show the leader and   I’ll call in the sprint the way I see it. I’ll 
give it to you my style. Uh Morton Johansson watch. Okay. Uh Morton Johansson, dude, where are 
you? I just saw that. Uh, okay. Morton Johansson, watch you every stage, dude. Thank you so much. 
Thank you for your excellent coverage. Norwegian   in Thailand. Dude, I love it. Um, I know I was 
talking to some of the Filipino viewers and uh or people living in the Philippines. I think 
it’s mon season there, monsoon season there. It   must be the same in Thailand. Rains every day. Let 
me know. Um, Vika Franco again. Oh, she’s saying uh Primos bronze uh Poggy Gold. I agree that could 
happen. It could happen. Team struggles there, isn’t there? I wonder what happens in Red Bull’s 
uh team meetings at night. You got looks like a resurgent Primos. And I always love to point 
out all the armchair critics. Uh even a lot of dudes in the mainstream media saying, “Oh, Primos 
needs to retire. Why? Why does he need to retire? Uh I think people just forget how good he really 
is. Uh I can see uh Jonathan Milan hovering in about 10th spot right now. Maybe six or seventh 
spot actually. Teeing up for the sprint now. Uh according to this we are almost on the sprint 
guys. Almost on the sprint. I’m going to go to the   live tracking this way cuz when the sprint happens 
I don’t get to see it pop up on screen here. I’m going to use this one here. Um I want to get as 
live as I possibly can. I’m probably still behind by about 500 meters of road time uh watching this. 
I’ll let you know how it goes. Andrew Moss asking, “What are the latest green jersey standings?” 
Let’s take a look. Andrew, uh Jonathan Milan in first. I think Pogy’s behind by 11 points. Yes, he 
is. He’s down by 11 points. Bingham’s at 169. So, Bingham has to win everything now to take that 
green jersey away. Pogy uh will take some green jersey points tomorrow. They have green jersey 
points at the top of the hill climbs. Tim Merly   is at 150. Tim Meria and Bingum could have 
a fight. Uh, look at this. Yonas Vingo 150 points. He’s in fifth place right now. Come back 
to this one. Uh, oh wow. What happened here? On the wrong stage, guys. Let’s go to the live 
view here. Okay. Going to hit this one here. Here’s our group of four still. So, these guys up 
front, they’re going to steal some of the points.   They are stealing points away. Um, now there’s 
no one here from Bingham’s team. There’s no Trek riders here. There’s no Sudal riders here. So, 
these are just random points that are going to   be scooped up. Again, points are important. 
Uh, I’m sure all of these points help towards UCI standings. Uh, there must be some designation 
as to who won the sprint. Again, there will be a monetary reward for winning the sprint and there’s 
always like a local prize, too. Okay. Uh Jun Basada from the Philippines is here as well. Good 
day to everyone. Don’s waving. Okay. Don saying, “I predict Mark Solair uh and Pavl Civicov 
to do some work the next two stages.” Yeah,   I can see that too. So, uh that’s two riders 
from UAE. Civicov and Mark Solair climbers. June, I’m doing great. How are you doing? Uh, it’s 
I think it’s 12 hours ahead for you. So, June,   let me guess. It is currently 8:49 for you at 
night there, I believe. Is that correct? 8:49 p.m. for June here. Uh, still on my coffees, guys. Uh, 
I will be taking a break in a little while to go have the third one of the day. Oh, and it’s hotter 
than it was 5 minutes ago. I love it. Absolutely love it. It’s like uh it’s like cold pizza, guys. 
I hate cold pizza, too. Has to be heated up. Vard here is back. Arard’s here. Vard’s been here most 
days as well. Good morning. Good day to you, dude. Uh Vika, greetings from Slovenia. Our guys love 
mountains. Yes, indeed they do. So, VKA, you are Vika Franco from Slovenia. Don Wano, I thought he 
would have been with Del Toro in Austria. Yeah, he wasn’t there either. And I did mention yesterday 
too, Dawn. Uh, okay. So, that’s a bit delayed, I think. Uh, I just saw Del Toro win another race. 
Where was it? It was a one-day race in Spain. So, that was on YouTube. You can go find it on 
YouTube. I forget what it was called. The class,   it’s only the second Classica. Oh, I forget 
now. And, uh, zero commentary. It’s just like all you hear is a helicopter and motorbikes. 
So, I’m like, man, I should just download that   and put some commentary to it. I think it’d be 
a lot of fun. I might try that out. Bike Terra, thank you very much here, dude. Uh, Bike Terra, 
we got to give Bike Terror some love here, guys. Thumbs up for Bike Terra. Thank you so much for 
two coffees that I can have fun with today. Rider doing a little stretch here for Total Energies. 
One of the riders that’s in the break stretching   out his back. He pretends he’s stretching. He’s 
actually just not wanting to take his turn at the front. That’s what’s going on there, folks. I’m 
just kidding. Kidding. Uh like to be controversial   here. Update on the leader. Serge just tuned in. 
Uh dude, uh so we have four riders up the road. Four riders in the breakaway. They’ve been in the 
breakaway since kilometer zero. Quinton Pashier   for Group FDJ. Uh Burgau for Total Energies. 
That was the guy that was just stretching, not taking his turn. Uh Yonas Abramson who won stage 
11 for UNOX Mobility. And Albany for EF Education. Now again, I’m not watching the leaderboard here 
for the sprints. I’m watching the sprint how it goes down. I’ll tell you it goes. Vika saying 
Vikica Francovic from Slovenia. The harder it gets, the better our guys go. I agree with you. 
Julia Caesar, are bikes inspected after stage? Yes, they are. They are. You can find There’s 
so many feeds that you can find data on here,   guys. I’m still watching the sprint here. Uh, want 
to watch it closely, make sure I’m live. It says I’m live here, but I know the stream is delayed by 
about 500 meters, so could be 30 seconds of road racing. So, I’m not going to look over here. 
Uh, at the front right now is Sudal Rider, team Simmons in second. Uh, followed up with three 
track riders. Jonathan Milan, the fourth track rider, and then two more track riders behind him. 
I see Bingham and his teammates lurking on the right hand side of the road right now. Definitely 
climbing. Definitely windy here too. Uh it’s just I just passed the 3 km flag to the sprint. I think 
they’re actually about a uh 1 km head. Tim Meria here looking for the sprint as well. So I will 
look later today and see are there any. So you get UCI points for winning the race. You get win 
you get UCI points for winning a stage at the tour and they’re all placed down to a certain point 
past that. Is that 10, 15, 20 riders? I don’t know. Uh I can see them actually giving points for 
some of these sprint points as well. And if it’s not sprint points, it’s cash monies towards the 
team. So I think I saw now this I heard this in a book I’m listening to the one year I think it 
was Team Sky one, they won like €800,000. Second place team gets €200,000. So all these cash prizes 
along the way, and I’m I’m rounding those numbers, guys. I think the payout for the entire tour 
that year was like €1.2 million euros to the   teams. Sky who won team Sky uh with Chris Vroom 
got over €800,000. Second place team didn’t even get a quarter of what Sky got. Uh and then it just 
drops from there. So a lot of these smaller teams are winning money out on the roads and what you 
would call a pre. That’s what they used to call   in the day, a pream. It’s a cash prize along the 
road. I’m watching my live version, guys. Desync a little bit here, but I’m going to uh call this 
as I see it. They’re one kilometer out from the uh sprint point now. So, I’m going to watch that. 
Obviously, the first four positions are going to   be uh that’s the front riders, too. Front riders 
are just getting ready to go through live over here. They’re just going through the sprint point 
now. So, there’s points down to 15th. 20 points for first, one point for 15th place. Points are 
going to be broomed up. The big points uh by these four and there’s been a crash at the back folks. 
There has been a crash. Interar rider down. Don’t   worry guys, not Bingum, just some other poor 
dude. Uh Lewis Bar for Intermar wanty and he looks pretty hurt. The way he’s sitting looks he’s 
holding his left hip. He is sitting on his right side. So hopefully he skittered and didn’t just 
do a kaplon on the road. a gadouch as we call it here. Uh where it’s just like bang. There’s no way 
to get yourself down. There’s no way to slide into it. Yeah. He’s sitting on the road. Uh Medicar 
is looking at his left thigh, left hip area. I think this guy was in the breakaway at one point 
yesterday. He’s 83rd overall at the tour. Looks   like 2 hours and 40 something minutes down. 
Sprint’s already going off here. Who’s leading out? The UNOX dude. Uno X dude. Abrahamson going 
for it. Uh this is Yonas Abrahamson. Is it Jonas or Tobias? I mixed their names up. Totel Energy 
Riders was given it a go and then backs off. So Total Energies and Yuno X interested in the 
cash prizes there for the uh Scod Sprint. Yeah, I keep forgetting to mention it. Scod SCOD is a 
huge sponsor of uh the Tour to France and I love their cars. Did I tell you guys ever how much I 
love Scod automobiles? Probably my favorite car of all time. Wink wink. As if that would do anything, 
right? But could you imagine? Could you imagine? Scod calls me up today. Dude, dude, we got a car 
for you. It’s going to be like a 1983 SCOD when they were in their prime. Uh, yeah, I’m going to 
back up here a second. Julia Caesar, are bikes inspected after stage? Um, I don’t know if they’re 
inspected every stage. I think they are. Uh there was a comment a few days ago, 60 bikes were 
inspected for um technological scrutinering. Now, you can take that for whatever you want it to be. 
Uh guys, I’m still watching. So, I can’t see any results that’s happened here. I’m not going to 
scroll down the screen yet cuz I know some of you   are right on top of this. Uh someday there may be 
a second commentator here over at Inside Cycling World, folks. So, yeah. Yeah, I’m just making that 
up, but whatever. Uh so the first four points are gone. We’ve got Lidell Trek pushing at the front. 
Sudal is right there. We got a Leel Rider and Sudal Rider between a Trek sandwich with uh Quinn 
Simmons sitting in third place. Fourth place is Tomcoins. Another Trek rider, Jonathan Milan. 
And then Bingum. So Bingham’s going to have to surf the wheels here. Uh I think there’s one 
other interar rider there riding behind Bingham. uh really not going to be doing much for him here. 
So, they need to get in front of Bingham. That’s part of Bingum’s troubles right now. His team 
is not superjelled. Uh maybe the team’s changed a little bit. Leading it out right now, Jonathan 
Milan up the middle. Violent attack up the middle   of Bingham right with him, but Jonathan Milan 
easily can pull away. Oh, that was pretty close. Bingham had some really nice closing speed. I 
think Jonathan cut it down a little bit early   there. Uh, I’m going to get back to absolutely 
live here, guys, and catch up with the chats. I see Mike here. Uh, Mike hand grenade division. 
So, dude, yeah, Julius, again to your question, they do inspect the bikes afterwards. And again, 
I I like to be the conspiracy theorist here, guys. Um, if no one’s mechanical doping, then 
why are they inspecting the bikes? Long pause. Very long pause. Think just think about that for 
a little bit. If no one’s mechanical doping. Okay,   so Lewis, it’s probably Luis Bar back on his 
bike for Intermar. This guy looks like he’s hurting. Hopefully he can get moving here. Uh, 
Cortasi is back. Dude, you haven’t been here   for a couple days. Where you been? Auso Del Toro 
Almeida at next year’s tour to France for a fifth Pogy win. Dude, there’s so much firepower in 
the names you’ve mentioned. Obviously, Cortasi. Cortasi. I know him. He knows his cycling. 
He’s a total Pogy supporter. Love it, dude. uh really like uh people that are behind 
their teams uh behind their riders. Dude, that team’s too powerful. Uh they’re all I 
can see with Auso specifically is infighting. Uh even Almeida like unless they’re going to 
pay him huge amounts of money just to dude, you never get to win. You never get to win a 
stage. It’s all about Pogy, but here’s your money. I guess that’s what you had have to look at it 
as. And moving on to Mike here, guys. I’ve known   Mike here. Mike just bought me a steep coffee. Uh 
what do you say? Steep tea. Tim Hortons, guys. Tim Hortons. Greatest coffee place on the planet. Mike 
will attest to that. Uh we never go to Starbucks. Tim Hortons. I need a gift card. I need 
a 20 pack of Tim Pits. Stat. Uh so Mike, thank you very much, dude. You didn’t have to, 
but dude, I really appreciate it. I’ve known   Mike since Mike, what would be the first year? 
I think I met Mike in 1984, guys. Holy crap, Mike. We’ve known each other 40 years. Like now, 
actually, me and Mike would have met each other uh probably the first week of September in 
1984. That’s when I started high school, guys. Yeah, it would have been 1984. Graduated 
in ’87. We met in social studies class. Can’t remember the teacher’s name. I guarantee 
you Mike knows the teacher’s name. I   won’t remember right now. Uh so, Mike, I do 
have my steep coffee. We’ll go with that. Uh, okay. So, KBLSS reviews, dude. What do 
you review? That sounds like a channeling to   me. Filipino Canadian from to Toronto. Love your 
tour to France coverage. Thank you so much, dude. Thanks for hanging out here with us. Uh, oh, look 
at this dude here. Sadique Williams. Hi, I’m from South Africa. Our waiter on Saturday night at the 
Salt Lake Steakhouse in Calgary downtown. It was really good. Not my favorite. Going to say that 
right now. Salt Lake. You’re never going to see   this, so who cares? Uh, I didn’t have the fillet. 
I had the ribeye cuz the fillets were tiny. They were 6 fillets. I am a full-size guy. I need at 
least an eight or a 10 fillet. So, I went with the ribeye. Eh, you know, whatever. Uh, yeah. So, 
our waiter, cool dude from South Africa, living in Canada now. Uh, okay. Got to back up, guys. Got 
to back up. Mike, thank you so much again, dude. So Mike’s going to let me know here in a little 
bit who our social studies teacher was way back   in the day. So weird thinking Mac, you know, and 
not to sound gloomy and but that guy’s no longer probably around. Whenever I think about stuff like 
that, it’s like, “Oh, wow. That’s weird.” Uh Don, three pockets on my bike jersey. One for food, 
one for phone, one for garbage, banana peels,   and wrappers. Good idea, Don. Uh Wake Bong, 
this is the guy from Sweden in the middle. Uh, ask your son. I’m gonna look that up later, 
dude. Uh, let’s go back to the race here, guys. See those gaps? I’m gonna now I’ll be 
able to scroll scroll down. I want to like I want to do my commentary. I don’t want to do what 
they’re doing over here. So, but here we will get the points now. So, Abrahamson took it over the 
total energy guy. That was Burgo. They were the only two that even contested it, just so you know. 
The other two just coasted along at the back. They   were 100 meters back. Uh, so here we go. Two 
minutes back. Milan easily took it. You know, Germay had a good little sprint at the end. 
He was a lot closer at the end than it looked than I thought it was going to be. Milan shut 
it down way sooner. Germ kept going. Turgis is always there or thereabouts as well. Nine 
points. Uh, Con, you’re going to see a lot of Trek guys here. Like look at this. We got 
Milan here, Trek guy. Uh, Conn, I believe,   is a track rider. Simmons is a tre rider. Sudal 
rider. Scoins is a tre rider. Uh Edward Toyins is a trek rider. Uh I think Stoven is a trek 
rider. So they’re sweeping up all the points there. And they are talking about Barry back here. 
Uh I’m hoping there’s maybe a French rider, French speaker here. How do I say his name? Is it Barry? 
Beret. It’s Beret. It’s going to be Beret as in a raspberry beret. So that’s all we’ve got from the 
tour feed there itself. Jumping back here. So, we know that Wade Wake is in the middle. Ask her 
Sunund. Uh, I do have Bike Terra floating in the background right now, guys. Let me just double 
check that. Uh, probably going to hold off on using Bike Terra again until tomorrow. I just 
want to make sure I’ve got it here. Okay. No, I don’t. I’m going to fire it up just in case we 
get some funky looking stuff later in the race. Um, no. Let me just do this quick. It should just 
pop up there now. Perfect. So, I’m doing this all on the sideline here, guys, as you guys can’t see 
it. Let’s just look at the routes they have today, guys. So, if you were to go over and take a look 
at Bike Terra, uh, free to use, up to a limit. Um, this is going to be so bright on me now. Uh, they 
got Swiss National Championships from 2025, so an official route. Uh, looks like a bit of a hill 
climb at the beginning and then a flat section.   Green Lake Loop, Black Mountain. They’ve got an 
Italian route here. Lago Majori, Cano Riviera to Larno, Box Hill, Monaco Hills, West Park Loop, 
Birch Bay Highlands, Roa Cororba, and Washington River Canyon. Uh, I’m not even sure which ones are 
available to me right now. I don’t know. Uh guys, uh so bike ter is here. Guys, are you get are 
you guys providing more uh routes for people   to ride now? I’m not sure. Used to be six routes 
available. And guys, I am here is stage 17 in the tour to France. So I’m doing this offline. I’m 
going to spectate that now. And I think they’ve uh implemented more features into it so that it’s 
kind of sinking quicker all the time. So guys, I’m all offline. I’m on the Pelon right now. 
I’m going to jump to the leading group. And   guess what? It shows me Quinton Pache, Machu 
Burgau, Yonas Abrahamson, and Vincenzo Albani. Gonna zip up the road here. I’m going to wait 
until uh Wow, this looks really good today,   guys. Really good. Really good. Here, I will 
jump back to just the actual tour itself. And we’re going to jump into that a little bit later. 
Probably on the climb uh the call to Poru. I like showing where the climb kind of zips back and 
forward. Why don’t we do that right now? Let’s   zoom in on this climb here. Yeah. So, this is 
what I want to see. I want to see these little switchbacks where we can look back and you can get 
a perspective of where the groups and the bunches   are. So, we’ll do that in a little bit. I told 
the guys this morning, I was up first thing and they’re already in their Discord. Uh, I said stage 
18 and 19, it will be on all the time. Okay, I got to catch up, guys. Uh, Eard, this might be a day 
for Benny if it ends in a sprint. Yeah, exactly. see if that happens. Brett Rogers, I had 
a thought this morning after listening to   David Miller talking about how one day team 
Visim is strong and the next day team UAE is uh I didn’t catch up. So David Miller, one of 
my faves, too. I’ve read both his books. He has two great books out there. Uh you know, the 
doping era, all that stuff. He was an incredible time trialist. Uh, I would say probably the 
best time trialist back then. Uh, you know, 40 to 50 kilometer wrong time trials. Team radio, 
we think that things can still happen. Things can still happen once we get into these clims. 
There’s a possibility that the race could open up again if there’s not too much of a gap. 
At the moment, it’s around 145. And let’s just see if that’s what it is. I think that was 
pretty live. Uh, yeah, it’s 148 right now.   So that’s the Totel Energy’s car raiding up 
to their boy up front. Uh Machu Burgo here. So they are still hoping he can do something. 
Alfa Phip’s on screen. Oh, he’s slapping uh Valentine Perry Poncho on the back here. Loves 
this guy. Love it. Love the camaraderie out there. You know what? It’s funny here. I’m looking 
at Alfa Phippe and you look at Perry Ponch on   screen. It looks like a younger version of him, 
just skinnier than Ella Philippe, if you can believe that. They kind of got the same look, the 
same complexion, uh the same rugged bearded type, scruffy look on their faces going on. Very similar 
looking dudes to me. Um Jeff here says, “Is it over?” This is a good one, Jeff. Is it over? Did 
we win? Are we doing Lalta? Dude, that’s coming   up next month. I’m already studying it. Uh and 
guys, I’m really really excited about Tur France Fe AZ Zift. Uh watching all the highlights from 
yesterday, watching the Jirro Donna DA last week, uh it’s going to be some great racing. I actually 
thought about yesterday, too. With the women being   generally smaller in stature, they’re probably a 
lot more aerodynamic than the men. I just thought about that yesterday. I’m like, what’s the 
big difference? Well, they’re way smaller. Uh,   which at first kind of catches me out because 
I’m like, where’s all the big riders? They’re smaller. Uh, but they’re all giving her hard. 
Some of the sprinters are really good. There’s uh a woman named uh Oh, she had the green jersey 
last year. Her last name looks like cool. I want to just call her cool. I think it’s Cole. Uh, 
powerful rider. I’ll tell you that right now. I think she did withdraw from last 
year’s uh tour to France fems avift uh Brett Rogers. Do you think this kind of up and 
down team ability is an indication of a cleaner sport i.e. in the past cse USPS and dare I say it 
sky could power for day after day. Dude, when you say that yeah I know what you’re saying and that 
that audio book I’m listening to. I’m almost done. Joey Jojo I need part one. I need part one. You 
don’t listen to your audiobook credits. She pays for them every month. They expire every month. 
Send me some books, dude. Uh, I’ll have to notify her again. I think I’ve notified her three times. 
Uh, they said one year, and I don’t know if it was USPS or whatever, where Lance’s team was doing 
terrible. The whole team was just not doing well. That’s the year that the team bus broke down. 
Guys, this is all public knowledge, too. This is not something that I just know every, you know, 
if you do a little bit of reading about it. Uh,   I’ve ordered Wheelman. That’s like the big deep 
dive into the Lance whole thing. And it’s not just Lance. That’s where the team bus broke down. The, 
uh, the bus driver hung out at the back of the bus, pretending he was working something, banging 
around with a screwdriver or something uh, on the   back of the engine there doing absolutely nothing. 
And the team riders laid down on the floor of the bus and all refu all received blood transfusions. 
And the next day, tada, they absolutely smashed it. They’ve pieced this all back together. You 
know, at the time, no one knew what’s going on. Like, oh wow, Lance’s team, probably would have 
been US, maybe it was Motorola, I don’t know. Uh, is doing an incredible job today. Oh, wow. ah 
all that kind of good stuff. And then you look back and it’s like, oh, based on the testimony 
of all these dudes, people that were there, it’s all came out. Uh we won’t charge you if you 
testify and let us know what happened. They piece, they can tell you exactly. Yeah, we all got blood 
transfusions the night before. That’s how it was. Um yeah, Brett, who knows what was going on then. 
I’ve just know in the past they’d have bad days and then all of a sudden they’d come out and have 
a really good day the next day. Something happened   that night. Uh oh, dude. Wade. Exactly. Del Toro 
is a Pogy Prodigy. It’s kind of hard to say. Pogy prodigy. Uh he’s winning everything right now. 
And uh guys, take a look at uh I don’t do much of my my my whoosh stuff anymore. And guys, 
is it my whoosh or my whoosh? I’m saying it’s my whoosh. I see the double O. It’s my whoosh. 
It’s not my whoosh. Uh, a lot of people say my wish and including the people that work there. So, 
I’m saying it’s my whoosh. Uh, Sai Bradley has a podcast interview with the head of performance for 
UAE and he talked about I listened to 30 seconds of it. It’s on my phone right now. Uh, it was a 
little highlight thing I saw. Uh he talked about he was looking at Del Toro’s numbers two two 
months before he joined the team. You wouldn’t   have thought he could be that special. Two months 
into our program with our nutrition, training, all stuff. He’s like world tour guy. He’s at the 
top. So it’s incredible what they can do. Oh, wait saying there’s a crash that I’ve missed. Okay, 
that was Lewis. Okay, guys. I’m way behind. Uh, surely you’d think that a team putting up so much 
money could put out a plan of a attack and not   just concede yellow. Yeah, Julius, I think you’re 
talking about Vizma here. I think they do have a plan of attack, their plan of attack because Pogy 
is so good right now. Pogy is so on fire right now. Uh, and guys, we’ve seen this before. Riders 
that dominate the tour, dominate stage racing, dominate the classics. Uh, different eras. Uh, but 
there’s always those guys that stand out. Happens in women’s cycling, too. Guys, I’m I’m I’ll be the 
first to admit I’m not super up to date on women’s cycling, but I’m taking it all in right now. All 
I’m doing right now, anytime I have free time, uh, which is all the time, uh, I’m catching up 
on all the women’s cycling, any bit of replays I can find because I want to know what 
I’m talking about for you guys next week. [Laughter]   And Mike says you’re ah the gadouch. Yes, the 
gadouch Mike. Uh, Scod pretty good in it in rally. Yes, they are. But I don’t know about 1983 SCOD. 
What do you guys think? Wade, what do you think of   Scotas? I remember when Scotas first came across 
to Canada, I was like, what are those things? Uh, I don’t think I’ve seen one on the road in 
probably 40 years here since me and Mike met   each other in high school in 1984. September of 
1984. Uh June Basada here again. Uh appreciate very much the mention. We have monsoon season. 
Flooded streets in the last two days. Hope weather   will improve coming days. Uh I think when I was in 
one year I went to Mexico in May by myself. Uh I was finding myself uh mental health break. Uh no 
it wasn’t. I just went on vacation myself. And it poured at the end of every day. And where I was I 
was okay cuz I was higher up on the mountain. But down below the water would just like go through 
people’s houses. No one there has carpet. Uh it’s all tile. So the water just kind of gushes in 
and gushes out. Guys, that climb’s coming real soon here. Uh this is not an easy climb. It’s not 
It’s nothing like the Vontu. Uh it’s going to be a leg snapper. 4 kilometers at 6.6%. So you would 
notice this climb in your car, that’s for sure. Uh just going to jump back here and see if we’ve 
got any reports from race radio. So here we go. They’re saying themselves here and again this 
is from tour to France. Some breathing room   for Milan in the point standings after the interim 
sprint. Jonathan Milan lead at 262 today. Pagachar uh 240, Bingham 179, Timier 156, Jonas 150. Yonas 
points were the same at the start of the day. Uh, so we have 98 km racing still left. Our four 
riders still up front on the breakaway. They currently have a 1 minute 46 second gap. I would 
expect some other riders to be attacking now uh on the climb to try to catch up with 
them to attack over the top of the calder   twe and escape together. Ah, yes, Mike. As 
soon as you say the name, dude, I totally remember it. I’d like to think I have a good 
memory. Mike’s memory is way better than mine.   Uh so yeah, monsoon season in Philippines. I 
imagine it’s all in that part of the world. Uh that whole Southeast Asia part there, Vietnam, 
Thailand, there must be monsoon every day. Uh Tika is talking about mechanical doping, guys. They’re 
still looking for it. They test for they do uh urine samples every day. I don’t know if the 
stage winner has to do anything more above that.   So they se it used to be they selected like the 
stage winner and I think it changes all the time with the tour and some random riders. Uh they 
tested 60 bikes that was a third of the Pelaton. So what are they using to test the bikes? I 
don’t know. Uh they don’t have a big scanner   that travels to every race. They that doesn’t they 
say they do but it doesn’t go to every race. Uh there’s an eightpart podcast you can listen to. 
Uh Ghost in the Machine. It’s really interesting. Uh, and I think the guy that does that podcast, he 
also does the Rouair podcast. As soon as I put it on a few nights ago, I’m like, “Hey, that’s the 
same voice.” I think his name’s Chris something   something. Young dude, uh, cycling journalist 
apparently. uh he’s basically he spoke to the UCI and they told him face to face it’s recorded uh 
we are implementing new measures to to catch uh to improve our technological scrutinering which means 
they’re looking for mechanical doping. Okay. And again, if it’s absolutely, if you’re absolutely 
convinced it’s not in the tour, recycling in general, why are you looking for it? Just put that 
out there. Bar back at the medical car right now. His whole left arm is being bandaged. Uh they 
were checking out his leg and he was holding his leg. Okay, they’re taking a look at his knee as 
well. Guys, uh remember when Skeleos crashed out uh few days ago? I guess he hit a sign. Go look 
online somewhere, anywhere on social media and see how horrific his left arm looks. He is back on 
the bike. The whole thing is absolutely bruised. Blood deposits in it. Uh ooh looking here on the 
climb. Inos on the front. Garant Thomas. Uh second place rider. And there might be another Inos rider 
there. Yeah, there’s three Inos guys on the front. Four Inos guys in the front. Probably trying to 
set something up for Carlos Rodriguez today. uh he he was very close with Ben Healey. I think it was 
a separation of 20 seconds between uh ninth and tth place. That’s out to 3 minutes now with Ben 
Healey’s impressive performance yesterday. Uh chat time again. And uh yeah, I forgot to do this too. 
Okay, not bad. Yeah, I did change the camera. You guys can see things look different here today. You 
can see more of the bike here today. Uh, you can   probably see more of my mic, which you don’t need 
to see. Ah, whatever. Who cares? It’s all good. This is all amateur hour commentary over here. 
Anyways, uh, do we have live broadcasting of the actual video or race or is it only possible? So, 
this is Pi Code. This is a new commenter here. Uh, dude, yeah. So, I can’t show you the race itself 
because, uh, unless you’re paying for it and you’re showing it, uh, you’re violating copyright. 
You will be copyright struck immediately. Um, if you’re finding videos online they’re showing, 
you can see that they’re going to they’re probably   going to get pulled down every 30 minutes to an 
hour. Uh, it’s just people rebroadcasting it. The funniest thing I saw so far this year was 
a guy, you could see his camera looking at his TV cuz you could see everything that was around 
his TV and you could hear his family chitchatting   in the background. Uh, just like dude, like what 
are you even doing with your life? Like it’s like the old days when people would go to the movie 
theater and sit there with a camera, a handy cam   uh watching the movie like just stop. Uh yes, Mike 
Social 10 with Mr. Preston. I do remember that quite well now. Mr. Preston. Uh Robert saying, 
“Good morning. Go Giants.” Okay. Julia Caesar, the Free Republic of Alberta. Yeah, Alberta is 
talking a lot about independence these days. Um, I’m trying to ignore most of it, honestly. 
Uh, part of me is like, yeah. And the other part is like, what’s it going to do? Inos driving the 
front here, guys, with, uh, team Simmons sitting in fourth place. EF team is coming up behind them 
here now as well. Let’s take a look at the polka dots right now. Uh, I’m sure Pogy has it. He’s 
got everything, doesn’t he? We’re going to look at that right now. And I probably will do some bike 
terra action here. I think so. Pogy in first place was 60. He’s tied with Martinez. This does this 
seem right, guys. Does this seem Oh, because the other points would have been swept up yesterday, 
I think, by uh Ben Healey, Perry Ponch. I thought it would be different than I’m going to double 
check that later here to make sure about this.   I don’t think that’s correct. Uh let’s get to a 
live route here. Looking at the stage now. We’re going to just quickly zip in. We got our four 
riders here. Uh gonna jump back over here for a second and see what we can do here. Just going to 
let this uh fire up. Leading group Quinton Pashe. Okay guys, it’s going to be time for this. Uh, 
appreciate all their support coming through.   Just trying to move some stuff around for you 
here. Let’s take a look at what’s going on on the climb. I need to do this here. Think it’s going 
to be that. Think it’s going to be this. And boom, folks. Wow. I’m actually learning how to do this 
way better, guys. So, what are you looking at now,   guys? All of you pros, all of you OG Inside 
Cycling World viewers know we’re now looking at Bike Terra. Take a look at the profile here in the 
bottom corner. Again, just trying to show you some of the features of it. We can look at the climb 
here. Here is the actual climb that we are doing   right now. Just kind of memorize those little 
squiggles in your head. There’s a town here called La Pate. I like that. Uh we have four riders doing 
this climb right now. I will try and it’s actually showing you the gradient. We got an 8% gradient. 
And look at the the riders here. Quinton Pache,   Matthew Berg, B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B 
B B Burgodo, Yonas Abrahamson, Vincenzo Albani. Uh I’m just going to say right now, By Terra, you do 
a better job of showing who is in the groups than   the tour to France does. Uh because I don’t have 
to just pretend I know their first names cuz guys, I do forget their first names. So, going around 
that hard corner there, now what we’re going to   do, we’re going to just take a a bounce back to 
the Pelon. It does say they’re two minutes behind. Uh, so it’s not going to show the entire Pelaton 
guy, guys. Uh, it only shows 12 riders, but what’s interesting here, well, they’re showing the top 
10 here. Uh, this group will be quite big. So, they’re too far apart right now for me to really 
show you what’s going on. However, you can see   riders off the back. It’s saying 61 m back here. 
We’ve got I think this is Connor Swift back here. It is Connor Swift. So, Connor Swift uh falling 
off the back a little bit. I’d have to double check here. Guys, this could be 20 30 riders back 
here. They’re only showing up to groups of 12. Uh, so let’s just back out of this for a little bit. 
What you can see though here is just we’ll go to   the Pelaton. We’re going to pick um we’ll pick 
Pogy himself. Should all populate in right away. And you can see where they are on the climb. They 
haven’t got to La Pate yet. My favorite town, Pate. So, they’re not there yet. Our leaders are 
through the town. They’re almost at the top of the climb right now, I would imagine. Let’s 
just jump back. Uh, I’ll jump back and give   you I’m just kind of memorizing what I’m seeing. 
I imagine they’re on that last hard turn up there. We’ll jump to Abrahamson. Yep, they are on that 
last hard turn up there. You can see the turn   happening on the map here right before our eyes. 
Uh, they’re taking a hard right bend right now. Wind direction is going to change. Uh, and then I 
think they’re descending now. Let’s keep an eye on their speed here. Just going to hang out here for 
a little bit, guys. I should make sure that you’re   actually seeing all this. Yes, you are. And what 
you’re seeing here is just a visual representation of what’s roughly nearby. Now, if we were to 
look at the map here, there’s probably going   to be a couple of buildings located nearby on the 
map, which there is. You can just see them here uh on the map. So, it’s giving you, and for me, 
I think this is the best way to show it. uh Bite Terra’s concept of going a little bit simpler to 
run through a browser. Not huge demands on your uh PC, phone, your old tablet, whatever it may 
be. Really easy to get up and running. I will jump back here and tell you who gets the uh K points. I 
think I’m watching it right now and it looks like   it’s going to be uh my man Yonas Abrahamson. 
No, it’s not. It’s still one kilometer out on this replay. I’m going to change that up. It’s not 
going to be my man Victor Campenarts anymore. It’s   my man Yonas Abramson. Yeah, guys, the Pelaton 
absolutely getting smashed to pieces right now. Looking on my replay here. I don’t want to see 
what’s going on here. Uh, and you can see here   too, we are going downhill. Take a look at the 
speeds in the lefthand corner. 45k an hour. So, it’s not a huge downhill. Uh, but you can get 
the idea. It’s a full simulation of what’s going on in the real world. Let’s bounce back, guys. 
Uh, check out Bike Terra, guys. If you like it, if you enjoy what you’re seeing, uh, drop 
some comments for the Bike Terra boys uh, in my stream here, guys. I know there’s lots 
of people that see this. Uh, so it’s a great way to give a little shout out to Bike Terra. I’d 
really appreciate if you guys could do that. So, we’re back in the race, guys. I don’t really want 
to see what’s going on here. I want to figure it out myself. So, they’re through that point right 
now. Uh, we’ll just catch up. So, our front four downhill right now, still existing from today. 
Front four, best place rider, 37th place overall, Quinton Pache. Let’s see who got the uh the 
points. I’m going to I’m just going to guess I’m going to think Yonas Abrahamson because at the 
1 kilometer mark, he was already attacking. So, I’m going to just scroll down and have a 
little quick peek here and see who got it. Uh they I don’t think they’ve given us anything yet. Okay. So that was Axel Lawrence with Gar. So Axel 
Lawrence here. They’re just saying he was uh ready to pull with Gurant Thomas earlier today. He was 
the guy that tried to jump the gap earlier. Bridge up. So they haven’t given us any points yet. Well, 
it does hear the bunch splits. Milana’s at the back. Uh they’re well over the top here, guys. So, 
very slow feed from the France today. Meanwhile,   Emerson goes first at the summit. I thought he 
would. I’m not sure if he got the points. Uh will they show us? They haven’t given us any points. 
It’s only one point. That seems Yeah, he did get   it. It just lit up on screen right now as I was 
talking about it. One point for that. That’s way harder than a one-pointer. 4 km at 6.6%. Uh 
the entire Pelaton was blown to pieces. Uh, okay. So, this gives me good time to get back 
into the chat, guys. Uh, currently our leaders   have a 34. That’s not correct. Our leaders 
have a 36 second gap back to the Pelaton. So, that 2-minute lead just got shredded down to 
36 seconds. Uh, Thomas and Friends, there’s got five riders who were roughly 30 seconds back. The 
green jersey is now 120 back from the front end. Uh, and yes, here’s uh Connor Swift and Barry. 
That’s the writer who went down hard earlier. So, we’ll hang out at the front here. I’m going to 
catch up in the chat. Those four riders there. Uh, so go Giants. Free Republic of Alberta. Okay. 
Uh, I think you’ve been here before, dude. Uh, how far delayed am I? I’m trying to catch up, 
guys. I’m very delayed. Uh, Chris, USA. Okay, so Chris is an American living in Nagono, 
Japan. Uh, he’s asking, “Is the tour pretty much in the bag for Pogy?” Dude, I would say odds 
on favorite to win the tour is Pogy, but there’s two days coming up that he could absolutely lose 
the tour. Uh, two days specifically designed to wear Pogy out. Uh Pogy said at the route preview, 
you know, this tour was meant to hurt him where there’s just lots of climbs, long climbs where if 
he gets isolated and Vizma works well as a team, it all has to come together the pieces. Uh we got 
morning uh Peter Kimble’s back. Morning all from Minneapolis. Don Colin, how do you know that Del 
Toro won twice in two weeks? Okay, sorry. Sorry, Don. Colin, I do know that Don that Del Toro won 
twice in two weeks. I see him being in the 2026 tour with UAE. I see Auso leaving UAE. He is too 
selfish. Yeah, Aayuso will probably be leaving UAE. Uh the rumor mill is already floating 
that uh you guys have seen this at Dawn. I know you’ve seen this. Uh Remco will be at Red 
Bull next year. Uh I don’t know if he’s signed,   but there’s rumors floating around. Uh who knows? 
Maybe he’s sitting there having terrible days and thought, “I don’t even care about this anymore. 
I got a new team next year that’s probably better built for me. I’m out.” I’d hate to think he did 
that, but uh PY Code 9:00 p.m. at night. Okay. I graduated in ‘ 87. Were you into Aussie way back 
when? As I was, dude, I wasn’t a huge Aussie fan back then. I’ve got a lot more respect for Aussie 
now just as I became more of a Metallica fan. Uh because they worshiped Aussie, they worshiped 
Black Sabbath. Uh another great from the past is Lemi. Uh you know, like uh James Heffield 
loves that guy. So I’ve learned more about them from that. Obviously I knew all the Aussie 
music. It just wasn’t my thing back then. And uh yeah, sorry to hear guys. Uh Aussie Osborne 
passes away yesterday. Don’s back out into the   park for another kickboxing class. Don, watch out 
for those kids running around out there. Uh, Don, so I think Don’s actually going out into the park 
for a quick kickboxing class mid stream here. Uh,   Julie said, “Personally, I hope a French man never 
So, Julius saying, “Personally, I hope a French man never wins the GC again.” Uh, it’s been a 
while. It has been a while, hasn’t it, Julius? Uh, R. Stanley back in the mix, dude. Thank you so 
much for your support uh from Oklahoma here. We got support coming from Oklahoma. Thank you 
very much, R. Stanley. Uh very supportive of the channel, dude. I really appreciate it. Uh every 
time this gets better, I don’t even know how many people are watching right now. That number 
seems to be very stagnant. I’m not going to   be too concerned about it. I I kind of expect 
this to be a lower uh slower day this week. Oh, but that was fantastic. Thank you, Stanley 
R. Stanley, uh, from Oklahoma. Hopefully the weather’s good for you down there. We’re having 
some very stormy days here. Uh, Calgary’s been   smashed around quite a bit. Typical time of year, 
though. Uh this is the time of year where we get lots of hail, uh lots of crazy rains, and uh 
the occasional tornado warning, which usually is nothing uh nothing like tornadoes and the weather 
down there in Oklahoma. Oklahoma, Kansas. Um I was in Hamilton in 2003 for the World Championship 
week. Tried to get a good picture of David Miller   on the TT. I could not walk 5 km before he made it 
around the course. Okay, I see what you’re saying. Yeah, David Miller was incredible. I I still need 
to catch up on that. Ned, uh, so it’s David Miller   and Ned Bolting. Uh, they do a little uh thing at 
the end of every day. Julius, may the best rider win? Yes. Motorc crossed out. Oard, Mariana Voss, 
uh, Marianne. Mariana, is it Anna or N? But Voss, yeah, I mean, so dominant. She won the green 
jersey last year. I think she’s 38, 39 years old. Still super strong, still able to compete with the 
best. Oh, Evar, check out Scotas’s Warrior when Herman Goring’s brother was running the company, 
ignoring sabotage and stealing prisoners from a   concentration camp. Okay. Uh, that’s some history 
I don’t know about. Yes, Robert. I saw her. Uh, so I watched all the highlights, guys. I 
don’t know what it was. Eight highlight reels, maybe 10 minutes long. So, 80 minutes. I was like, 
I got to get figure out what’s going on here. Uh, Robert saying, Robert, huge support of the 
channel, too. Thank you very much, dude. Uh,   watch Puck Peters and it’s when I hear them 
say it now, when I look at that word, I’m like, Peters Peters is how they say it in the fe. She’s 
a young redhead. That’s right. She won at one point last year. I think she had the white jersey 
and the polka dot jersey, I think. Uh, in the end, just retained the white jersey. Uh, really young. 
She had a huge uh scab on her chin here. Uh she seems really cool. Very fierce competitor. Robert 
saying eventually she will win everything. Okay, Anna. To be honest, I don’t care that they cheat. 
It’s all about the show with the tour to France.   I don’t think it’s true. They really look for 
cheaters. Big stars and breaking records is what brings viewers. Anna, I think I’m on 100% on board 
with you. I don’t look back and uh I don’t look back at the tour in the in the 90s, the early 90s, 
the 2000s, the 2010s. Uh guys are still coming out admitting that they did. And usually they’ll say, 
“Oh yeah, in 1998 I cheated, but they won’t say the other years because they know everything will 
be taken away from them.” Uh it was just part of the sport. It’s just the way it was to compete 
at this level. How can you expect them to race   this hard for three weeks straight? How can you 
really expect that at these levels? Okay, guys, looking at some feed here. What’s going on? I’ve 
been uh busy here. Four riders in the front group down to 28 seconds. The whole Pelaton’s coming. 
Well, actually, the whole Pelaton is only 121 riders. So, some riders are out the back here 
today, guys. Green jersey group is 37 riders.   I’ll take a look at it here. Highest place rider 
will be, as I call him, Ben Wilder, but it’s Ilian Van Wilder. I think he’s in 29th place. 
And then, uh, Swift and Bar are out the back. Yeah. So, yeah, Puck Peters, as I saw her 
yesterday, uh, Robert, you’re 100% right.   She’s got like just bright red hair and it’s just 
like crazy. And yeah, you can tell she’s a wild one. Uh, and Anna again too. Yeah, like you can’t 
compete expect them to compete at this level and recover every day and give us the same show every 
day without there being something. And it’s such a hard thing to talk about because you can’t say 
that anyone presents doing it because the tour is   clean now. Uh there was mechanical doping in the 
past. 100% that’s confirmed. They’re still testing for mechanical doping. Uh I even back then. So, I 
saw one, sorry, Saul. I listened to one yesterday. I can’t even remember the cyclist name. Uh, he 
was fully busted afterwards. Wow. Seen Moar on the front here with Tre doing some work right now. 
Movar again had a great performance by Enrich Mass yesterday. That was the only thing they were Oh, 
I can see it looks like Tom Scoins is waving the   motorbike car away. Uh, sorry, the motorbike away. 
The camera car camera man. Uh, camera cars. camera motorbikes have been involved in the tour this 
year. Uh I guess it’s the the motorbikes. And I got to say too, some watching some of that other 
other coverage I’m seeing that have no commentary. Uh the motorbike cameramen do such a good job 
at the tour. Uh they know how to get close. Uh zoom in, try to stay away from the action. I’ve 
noticed that some of the other races that are, you know, not top tier, uh, they are so far 
away, you can barely tell what’s going on. Uh, Julius is asking about Pogy’s time trial 
bike. Uh, all I know about Pogy’s time trial bike, he had no handlebar tape. So, he had 
no padding on his handlebars. Uh,   and the bike wasn’t even painted. They said the 
I think they said the paint alone was 2 to 300 g. So, a half pound for a white bike. Uh, cuz 
they got to put so much white paint on. Uh, Oliver Marachir, there is one on YouTube right 
now. I think you’re probably talking about someone just uh rebroadcasting something they don’t own. I 
think Morton’s agreeing with Anna. Yeah, guys. You know, like my thing too, uh, Lance, the only thing 
he did wrong that no one else did wrong was the way he attacked people. That’s what he did wrong 
that I don’t like. Uh, the other riders would take their penalties and say, “Yeah, you got me.” Okay. 
And even before that, uh, in the 60s and 70s, they test guys afterwards and they’d get they’d 
receive like a 10-minute penalty. Oh, here’s a   dude. He’s on a boogie board it looks like in the 
field being pulled by a tiny little looks like a little tiny pickup truck uh that is smaller than 
like a small microcar here being pulled around the fields of France. So don’t fall off dude. You 
will get shredded by that uh by the crop in that field. Anna from the Niagara region’s back too. Uh 
June here saying great virtual simulation. Yeah, dude. I really think it is. Uh, I just wanted to 
make sure that I do have that all turned off and I   think I might have the cameras figured out today. 
Cameras and uh, hey guys, it’s me. I’m going to look right at you. This is what I actually look 
like versus all you guys see is the top of my head and no bald spots. No bald spots. No bald spots, 
guys. Uh, yeah, just kidding around here. Um, I definitely don’t have Quinn’s hair. Maybe 
I should go for that look. Uh, Robert, wow,   Quinn Swimman’s not just hanging with the 
best guys in the world, but thrashing on. Oh, absolutely. Quinn is I hope he gets a win this 
year. I really hope he does so he can prove to himself that he can do it. Uh, Dawn, brand new 
dude here, Don Culver. Don, is this your first day here? Let me know. I’m interested in knowing 
where people come from, how they’re finding the   channel to see if I’m doing everything right to 
get maximum attention over here. Uh, you guys know I’m doing things differently than the rest. I’m 
not just talking at you and giving you my expert opinion. Uh I like the interaction. Uh it feels 
like we’re just having hanging out having a chat. Alpas on the front here too driving with uh Team 
Simmons again. Uh Don’s asking, “What’s Quinn’s next tour going to look like? He seems to be an 
upandcomer.” Uh yeah, Quinn’s great. Uh, when you say next tour, when I see you capitalize it, next 
tour to France, dude, I guess that remains to be seen. Uh, he has probably two opportunities to win 
a stage left this year. Uh, today and Saturday, maybe Sunday. Maybe Sunday, too. Uh, Sunday’s 
a tough stage. It’s not going to be our typical   parade around the Shamsay. Tomcoin’s going off the 
back right now for Le. Let’s have a look at him. See what’s going on here. Uh, he’s not pedaling. 
I’m going to think he’s got a mechanical back   there. He’s waiting for a team car to come up. 
Uh the Pelaton looking pretty hot and heavy right now, guys. Driving hard. Single file of riders at 
least. I’m just going to get a good look at the camera. We’re doing a helicopter shot here. Uh 40 
riders long. So, there are going quite fast right now. And if we look at the average speed, how’s 
that looking? Has it came up yet? Average speed about the same as it was earlier today. However, 
we have just done a climb, so that’s going to   bring the average speed down even more, but not 
as insane as the start yesterday. It’s kind of the way they’ve got this year’s tour planned out. 
They’ve made it really hard for the riders to   decide what to do. Does Quinn Simmons go all in 
today? And I’m just using Quinn as an example. Or perhaps uh we should talk about these four at the 
front. Pache, Burgau, Abrahamson, and Albani who have been gone away. meter one, not kilometer one, 
meter one. Uh, do they blow themselves up today to potentially not survive tomorrow? Tomorrow’s the 
kind of day where I think we we will see riders not make the time cut. Now, off the back here, 
we can see Quinn Simmons way at the back. Uh, he’s hanging out with a teammate here, 87. Uh, 
who is that there? Another track rider. So, they’re at the back having a little chitchat here. 
Yeah, Quinn is not gone with the man bun today. Actually, there’s a nice split in the Pelaton 
right now, guys. There is quite a nice split. Oh,   this is the green jersey group chasing. They It 
looks like they can see the other riders just ahead of them. Uh it must be very close, which 
it is. I’m seeing it already. Uh green jersey group today actually hanging on really good. So, 
we have 38 riders here. Best place rider 29th. Illen Van Wilder. Van Welder. I just like Van 
Wilder. And so Quinn’s way back there. So he’s gone from the very front to now he’s riding with 
the green jersey group, just chilling out in the   back a little bit. Here’s our front four riders. 
Uh yeah, wind direction is going to change here, guys. So at this point here, I think we’ll be 
going more into a headwind. Uh when we start when we take this turn up ahead and we start heading 
more westerly, this will be all headwind through   here. And then when we head north again all 
through here, this would be a potential for more crosswinds. The wind is coming from the left hand 
side of the screen from the west. Alpas driving at the front, two doors up there. Uh picnics up 
there. Actually, I can see three riders from   Alpas at the front right now. So Alpas looking for 
a stage win. I believe they’re hoping to pull back the breakaway, send riders over the top. Who 
are we saying it would be for Alpasin today? Uh Niagara region here. Anna from the Niagara 
region, St. Catherine’s perhaps. Uh at UCI Worlds, the commissaries scan the bikes with a device 
that looks like an iPad. Uh and then there’s also a portable bike scanner in the back of a Q truck 
equipped to scan. Yeah, I’ve seen all about that,   Anna. Good points here. They talked about that in 
the podcast, too. It’s kind of like an iPad they scan with. They did talk to one I think it was I 
don’t know if it was a DS or someone that worked for a team and they said they kind of laugh 
at the iPad scanner because they said certain carbon layups can basically block or interfere 
with that scanner. So it’s like really is that really possible? And then they talked to a guy 
during the same podcast. He said, “Guys, you build your motors, you use brushless motors, and then it 
doesn’t develop that magnetic field that they’re   looking for.” Now, whenever I buy equipment, uh, 
and it says brushless, that means it’s better. I pay a bit more money for it. Like, it could be 
like an electric lawn mower. My best lawn mower   ever, guys, has been an electric lawn mower. Uh, 
40 volt Ryobi electric lawn mower. I love it. So quiet, I can listen to my podcast as I’m doing 
it. Um, I have tons of batteries for it. Yeah, the batteries are brutally expensive. One battery 
uh is almost the same cost as the lawn mower. So, you got to hope everything holds together, but 
apparently these brushless motors don’t give off the magnetic signal that those iPads are looking 
for. So, they were kind of like those scans are useless. Uh that’s not to say people are doing 
it. These guys were just saying and they weren’t denying it either. They were just saying those 
scanners are pretty much useless. the big cube   one that Anna is talking about. Uh those work 
apparently. Uh they can see everything. It’s kind of like an X-ray machine. They can see what’s 
inside. The problem is they don’t take it to every   race. Uh and the guy in the podcast, remember 
Ghost in the Machine, eight parts, really good listen. Even if you don’t believe in motor doping, 
um whether you do or not, it doesn’t matter to me. There’s just a lot of good cycling history in 
there, too. So, you can learn more about cycling   history that way. Uh, he says he went to all the 
races that supposedly had it at, requested info, and a lot of them were like, “Well, we don’t 
have the info or that that thing never came   here to our race.” They make it seem like it’s 
everywhere, but it’s not. But then again, too, what what would be the chances? Like, h how 
could you risk so much to have that little bit of an advantage? That’s always the question that 
comes up. Uh, so they are scanning for it. Um, Hol Colin, I was reading that Pogy broke the 
record for Vaughn 2 by a minute or so and four   minutes over Lance in 2002. Yeah, Fred Weiss Vice. 
Is it Weiss or Vice? I’m going to say it’s Weiss. Uh, because I think you’re probably American and 
you probably say it that way. Uh, yeah. The record was held by Ibon Mayo. And guys, just so you know, 
I think a bunch of riders broke it. So that was the climb from Bedawin itself. Uh I talked with 
this in my discord group earlier today. So the climb from bedawin to the top of the bondu I think 
is 20 point something kilometers. Now if you were to talk to guys in the past or where they say 
the real climb starts at 15.9 they were different records. So a ban mayo uh Spanish climber is 
he Spanish? Yeah, I think he was Spanish. Early 2000s, he had the record from Bedawin. The other 
record, the 15.9 km, and if you you can find it online if you type in 15.9 km vonu Marco Pontani, 
uh I think he did it in 46 minutes flat. The reality is though, after some research yesterday 
along with all my other stuff I do around here, uh both those records fell yesterday. So, 
they’re flying and again, but I think it’s really cool because they they did have a picture 
where they showed Lance’s Lance Armstrong’s bike,   Lance climbing, and then they had Pogy’s bike. It 
doesn’t even look like the same sport to me. Uh, and I think it’s really cool. Is it really cool? 
I think it is cool that they’re just starting to be able to beat the times now. Uh, again, it 
depends on how the tour is designed, uh, how that stage is designed. Did they ride 300 kilometers 
before they got there way back when? It every stage is different. Uh the tour is definitely 
getting faster, but the route is getting easier. Uh overall, it’s shorter, less time trials, the 
climbs are the same. Uh but did they do the vauntu at the very end of the stage? They did yesterday. 
So riders would have been getting fatigued. So yeah, they did break break it. So Fred, good 
point. I did look into yesterday. Uh if Iard read Tyler Hamilton’s book about his year at US Postal, 
it was so common that no one hit it. 100%. Dude, uh he’s one of the first guys that came out. 
I did hear to uh in that audio book, there’s a reason why Floyd came out. Floyd Landis came out 
so hard against Lance was because uh Floyd Landis told Tyler Hamilton, “Hey man, Lance is trying 
to get you busted.” So, I guess there was a stage somewhere in, you know, let’s just say ballpark 
2003, 2004 where Tyler beat Lance. So, Lance went screaming to the UCI, “Hey, he’s cheating, man. 
He’s cheating. He must be doping.” Floyd was on Lance’s team at the time, was still good friends 
with Tyler cuz Tyler went on his own team. I think   Tyler went to Was Tyler at Phoneac first and 
then Floyd went over? I can’t remember. Um, so that kind of like, you know, set up some, you 
know, a little bit of a fight there between them. Uh, Lance tried to call out people, too, but he 
wasn’t doing it. So, that’s that’s what Lance did totally wrong. So, then you’ve got Floyd Landis 
in 2006 after he won the tour to France, uh, got a doping test for the day that he blew everyone 
out of the water. I think that was so obvious. Um, and then everyone told him just to be quiet. 
Don’t don’t fight it. Just be quiet. Don’t say a thing. That was that was his comments. He got like 
burnt alive, lost everything. Uh, and then he just said, “Okay, fine. Lance, you don’t like me. I 
don’t like you. It’s time for you to go down with   me.” So, he was one of the guys that came out and 
kind of released everything. Everyone did it back then. If you didn’t do it back then, you had no 
way of competing. Uh, Niagara region. This Anna, our podium presentation was delayed by an hour 
while they scan the winner’s bike in the back of   the white truck. That’s Yeah, Anna, awesome stuff 
to hear. Like, I I didn’t know that. Uh, so they do scan bike guys, just not every race. Uh, I you 
know what? Honestly, I would find it so hard to believe that mechanical doping is going on at this 
level. I honestly would find it hard to believe. It’s a good conspiracy story though that 
they are looking for it. Uh that there’s   rumors of it. I know at amateur levels it does 
happen. Grand fondo levels there’s that famous I think he’s a French actor who basically got 
caught. People said they could hear things going on his bike. Uh he’s in his early 50s, 
an incredible cyclist riding with 20-year-olds. uh bridging gaps that no one could bridge. At the 
end of the race, he gets confronted. He jumps in his car, drives away, hits a race official. Like 
when they say that, he probably just bumped them, hit him with the mirror. But either way, he 
was like, “You’re not catching me. I’m out   of here.” Uh that’s been fully confirmed. So 
amateur levels, yeah, it probably does happen. Uh, okay. So, yeah, great uh M4 there, Anna. 
Joe 512 in the mix. Good morning all cycling fans. Joe, good to have you again. Robert, 
it’s still photo motors that are always   the problem. TV motors are pretty good. 
Ah, so Robert’s saying the photo motors, guys that are just out there taking stills, uh, 
probably aren’t as good as the TV motors. Yeah, good point, Robert. And R. Stanley here jumping 
in again. 270 viewers, only 80 likes. Everyone, please like and sub so Colin’s channel reaches 
more viewers. We have to play the algorithm. Dude,   it’s so true, dude. Thank you so much again. 
Uh, Inside Cycling World loves you. R. Stanley, uh, from Oklahoma. Thank you so 
much. And my coffee still warm,   guys. Thank you to for your contributions. 
It’s warmer than when I brought it downstairs. So, the coffee is getting better the longer 
it sits. Uh, and I will be trying a cafe bon bon here very soon. Uh, it sounds fantastic. 
The problem is I’m probably going to make it   in a large mug. Uh what is an espresso glass 
called? So a cafe bon bon was described to me as it’s basically half condensed milk sweetened 
condensed sweetened like eagle brand if you guys know what that is for desserts and then you put 
espresso over top. I would make it too big and   I’d probably have a heart attack later that 
day. R Stanley, thank you so much dude for uh the generous support of the channel. Uh, telling 
people to like, guys, I can’t even see my likes live right now. I can’t see how many people are 
watching right now. So, it’s all kind of messed   up for me here. Uh, Joe 512, double thumbs up, 
dude. Thank you, R. Stanley, you the man. Uh, and everyone is everyone that’s here in the 
chat. Super supportive. Uh, Sudol, very strong,   guys. Very strong. Scoins is also waiting for the 
moments. Alpas is pulling. We’ve seen that. So, this is Sudal coming through. Just wow. Wow. Wow. 
So, they’re loving what Sudal is doing on the   front right now. Uh there’s one Sudal rider just 
driving the front. It’s just insane here. Okay, so I’m going to find out. Yeah, guys, just a few 
minutes ago, uh Quinn Simmons was off the back in the green jersey group. Let’s just jump back here. 
Four riders up front. One minute gap. Pelaton, they’re all back together. The green jersey 
was off the back. Quinn Simmons was sitting at the very back. He’s on he’s second from the front 
again now. Quinn Simmons is second from the front now uh with the Sudal Rider and the track team. 
They’re trying to hold this all together now. Pogy saying you guys want the sprint win. You got to 
go up there. It’s not my job. He’s 100% correct. It’s not Pogy’s job today to win the stage. 
It’s not Pogy’s job today to control the stage. It’s up to the sprinters. So Trek needs to be up 
there. Sudal for Tim Merier needs to be up there. Intermar better be showing their presence soon for 
Bingham. That’s how it works, guys. Uh Joe here, two quick questions to the chat. Where are you 
watching from? And what do you ride? Uh Joe,   I love that question. Guys, why don’t you drop in 
what kind of bikes you have? Uh where you from? Uh when I do the new studio redesign, which is guys, 
it’s a room in my my basement. It’s the 10 x 10 cube. Uh there’s computer stuff everywhere. 
There’s junk laying everywhere. I’ll just be honest. Uh this is not a professional stage setup 
like you see on all the other channels, which I do like too, but sometimes it’s like, “Oh, you got 
a garage back there. That’s cute. That’s real cute.” You don’t have a garage back there. Uh it’s 
probably just a green screen showing a garage. I   don’t even believe it. Uh but I do have my bike in 
here. This is the bike I work out on every day of the week. Nah, not right now. Uh, my bike’s right 
here. There’s a huge mat on the floor. I haven’t even cleaned up the sweat from yesterday. I know 
that’s disgusting. Uh, I’ve been flying, so I have a bleach bottle. I spray it, wipe it all down. 
Uh, everything bike paraphernalia is in here, guys. This is what the real studio looks like. 
Bombing downhill here, guys. Everything stretched out on this giant uh really wide road here. Really 
safe for the descent. Let’s see what uh we’re hearing from race radio here. Four riders in the 
breakaway. I don’t even I had have no clue what they’re riding through here. Some kind of I don’t 
know. I don’t know if that’s probably even grapes. Probably is grapes. And average speed now 45k. So 
I think the average speed is actually slowly just drifting upwards. Uh Marcela’s back. Good morning 
from Brazil. Excited for tomorrow stage. Oh yeah, I’m going to start Marcel. Me too. Uh, and I’ll 
be the first to admit, guys, I am super jacked, pumped about tomorrow stages. This stage, exciting 
as it will be, the real actions tomorrow. Guys, don’t miss tomorrow stages. Uh, yeah, if 
you’ve only got two stages to watch, it’s Thursday and Fridays. If you can’t make Saturday 
and Sundays because you’re out for the weekend,   you’re camping, you’re doing family stuff, don’t 
miss Thursdays and Fridays. That’s where the tour will officially be decided. Um, remember Pogy 
doesn’t win until he crosses that finish line on stage 21. He’s got to get through tomorrow 
and Friday. And I see lots of people saying the only way Pogy can lose his tour is if he 
crashes, doesn’t stay upright, gets sick, uh, or has a bad day. Exactly. Exactly. That’s what 
Vizma’s hoping for. They’re hoping They’re not hoping he crashes. They’re not hoping uh he gets 
sick. They’re hoping he has an off day where Yonas is able to capitalize and pull some time away from 
him. I’d even just like to see a day where you see basically Pogy lose almost all of his time and put 
it really close to get that. Ooh, it’s on again. I think it’s still on. Sir Marcella, great points 
here. Uh she’s super excited about tomorrow. Dan Don Colber, yes, it’s my first day to post. been 
watching your live feed. Love it. I’m an F. I’m in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dude, man, I’ve 
never been down to Florida yet. I would love to be there. Uh living in Canada, it’s like 
when I see places like uh Okay, so for me, I see places like Key West and I’m like, how is 
this even possible that you can have places like that to live in North America? Because we don’t 
have that here. Uh, I guess that’s why you guys have 330 million people and we have 40. Uh, cold 
all the time. Uh, Julius, the the vulnerable point in motorizing is the inspectors. Wink wink nod 
nod. Yeah, dude, that could be happening, too. Uh, it happened in the past. Oh, I had a dope test. 
By the way, I’d like to make a contribution to the   uh the World Foundation of Doping Against Drugs, 
yada yada yada. That’s what they did in the past. you could buy people. Uh Wade’s saying the front 
gap is dropping quickly. Uh it did drop quickly. It looks like they’ve built it back out again. 
They’re at 106 right now. Uh it was down to like 30 seconds for a while in the climb as they 
assaulted that last climb the call to Puerto who’s leading group three at the moment. Right now 
I only see so that would have been back earlier.   Uh the third group which was the green jersey 
group. They’re all back together now. We’ve got 160 riders back here. All the sprint 
teams doing the work right now. And guys, you can see it. I’m looking at the bottom here. 
Take a look at the bottom of your screen there.   Right in the middle, we got 63K remaining. Average 
speed now at 45.1K. It’s slowly building. Uh I’m expecting that average speed. I think the final 
quarter third of today after the cold tarte gui uh is going to be very fast. Uh, so that should 
help build that average speed up overall. Uh, remember guys, tomorrow is horrifying. Uh, I 
do want to take a quick look at that. Let’s   just jump back here again and have a quick 
look. So, they’re riding this today. Tomorrow, uh, bright and shiny here on Colin. Take a look 
at this stage. 171k. So, it’s a little bit longer than today. Uh, they’ve got a sprint point 23k in. 
At that point, the sprinters will just slam on the brakes and watch them take on the calderondon 22 
km climb. The kind of climb if you’re if you’re having an off day, you can lose 5 minutes. If 
you’re having an off day, then they take the risky descent into the valley. All filled with 
risk, guys. Uh mechanicals can happen, team cars can get left behind, riders can get split up. 
Then they do the calderatal line. Another 19 km at almost 8%. Uh, another brutal descent into 
the valley system and the final climb up the Cal Deal 26.4 km at 6.5%. Uh, the tour is not over. 
The tour is far from over, guys. Uh, okay. Um, I’ve just lost the chat feed here, guys. 
Um, I saw someone talking about bikes. I   want to hear about these bikes. Okay, 
so I think I’m back on track. Okay, Don Culver. Been riding a Giant Rapid 3 flat bar 
with carbon fork and bar. Just bought my new bike, Jones uh, long wheels purple color with 29. Oh, 
so it’s a mountain. It’s like a 29iner. Okay. excited to try out something new at 61 years 
old. Dude, Dawn, love it. Love it. Uh, old guys were mentally tougher. I’m I’m going to say that. 
I’m putting that out there right now. Uh, Oliver Marach Green jersey keeps dropping back while 
Simmons drills it at the front. Uh, we are seeing   a Visma rider pulled on vouts on the side of the 
road guys getting a mechanical. His car was right there. He’ll be fine. He’ll jump back on. Uh, 
yeah. Here’s the Van Art group here now. So, Van Art, guys, I always say it if I see like a little 
30-se secondond gap here or the little pointers pointing, that’s always a mechanical uh quick 
stop, 30 second gap, that’s about all it takes. Robert, watching from Eugene, Oregon. Main ride is 
a steel lemon alto. Oh, dude, that is so awesome. That is so awesome. Cheap steel motorban track 
single speed gets the most miles. Old Richie Commando for touring. Nice. Wait a dawn. That’s a 
nice bike for climbing hills. Vote coming back on now. Uh JT Taylor, good morning y’all. What’s 
up? We had a cut. We had clouds here and heat index under 90. So I did a 10k walk, jog, no 
bike. Feeling great making breakfast. Nice job. Nice job. Uh 90 Fahrenheit seems hot to me. 
Uh we’ve had some brutally cold days. Yesterday, we barely got over 50. Uh, I have no idea. 
There’s a guy in a quad here out in the field, an ATV, a four-wheeler, bombing around with the 
French flag. Looks like he’s dragging. To me, at first, I thought it was a dead body 
behind his quad. Must be some kind of   little toy he has on like a sled 
or something. Uh, Julius Caesar, just seems to me that if I was going to use 
a motor, I would only use it on one bike. Uh, okay. I see you were saying at a strategic time. 
I would use it in one. Dude, that’s something   that Greg Lemon brings up a lot. And dude, I don’t 
really know what’s going on. Uh, I’m probably the worst for speculating. I’m probably the worst for 
conspiracy theories. Yeah, exact. Exactly. Quinn   Simmons back on the front again. Uh, the entire 
Trek team there. Sudal present. Jonathan Milan right at the front here. Uh, sprint teams need 
to control all this. So, it’s basically Trek and Sudal on the front right now. I don’t see Intermar 
at all. Uh, looking for flags on the roads. Hard to tell if it’s Wendy. Quinn’s driving so hard. 
His uh mullet’s flopping around everywhere.   Raiding in the team car now. Back to the chat. 
Yeah, so Julius, good point there. That’s what Greg Lemon says. He goes, “Why is there so many 
bike changes these days?” Like, they do change their bikes a lot. Uh, but again, it’s pretty easy 
to fall into the conspiracy, right? Why do they change a lot? Because it’s just easy to do now. 
It’s quick. Uh, I can look at it from both sides. Uh, Joe saying, “If you’re going to use a motor, 
make it a two-stroke motor.” Exactly. God. Uh,   that would never pass scrutinering. It would be so 
loud. Watch the Armstrong movie. Was intense. Very good. Which one? Uh, Wade are you talking about? 
Which Armstrong movie? Don Culver. Hey, Wade. Uh, hills in Fort Lori are hard to come by, but I 
do plan on taking it out to the Everglades. Ooh,   the leveies. Watch out for the gators. Watch 
out for the gators. Yeah, again, so crazy. Okay, I guess it’s not that crazy. You guys got 
great gators. We got grizzly bears. I mean, that’s something I think about. Joey Jojo will be 
like, I haven’t mentioned Joey today. Uh, yeah,   Joey Jojo is doing good, guys. Um, Joey Jojo, 
like, hey, you want to go on a hike? And I’m like, uh, there’s grizzlies out there. Even a small 
brown or black bear can absolutely take your head off with one hit. So, nah, I’m not feeling 
like it today. Uh, let’s take a look at the poll,   guys. Let’s see where we’re sitting 
after the tour. I love this one. So, here’s your three choices. Uh, Altoz Training 
with Pogy. That’s choice number one. And it’s got a 54% win right now, folks. Help Yionis 
do kitchen rens. Only 19% of you want that. more live streams with Colin 27%. Thank you guys. 
Uh just trying to have a little fun here today. You know, kind of a transitional stage before the 
battle start again. Uh even though these riders   are going for victories. Four riders still up 
front, guys. 1 minute 9 second lead. They got 57k to go. Uh they are talking to Thomas Gastronard 
here. Now this is the guy that was out the back all day and somehow he survived. I don’t know 
how he did it. I have no idea how he did it. Uh yeah, he’s the total energy writers who was like 
23 24 minutes at the back before we even got to uh the Mong 2 yesterday. So I’m going to try 
to catch up on that later. Uh Dave Nicholson, first time you dude, where have you 
been the whole tour, man? Uh Dave here,   uh first time viewer here from Montana, bro, 
you’re a neighbor. Thanks for the commentary, he says. and gearing up for the last best 
ride gravel race on Sunday morning. Dude, tell us more about that. So, it sounds like Dave 
uh it’s called the last best ride gravel race   on Sunday morning. So, there must be some race 
going on in Montana. David, where are you from in Montana? I do know Montana pretty good. You 
are due south of us. I’m just up in Alberta. Uh, and I like to shout out to people all the time. 
Montans and Albertans, we’re like neighbors. Uh, pretty much the same people. farming, ranching, 
oil and gas. We got the mountains right there. We have the same kind of weather. Brutally 
cold one day in the winter. I’m talking -40,   guys. I’m not talking uh 0° C like in Europe, but 
like -40 one day and then it’s the snow’s melting the next day from those winds. David, let me 
know if you know what I’m talking about and   let us know where that ride is. Oh, yeah. Ivard 
here. Tyler went to Phone after US Postal. So, that makes sense to me now. So, he would have been 
Lance’s competitor and there was a ride that Tyler   beat Lance at and then Lance automatically accused 
him of doping. So, very strange. Uh, Wade’s just commenting, “Don, that sounds awesome. Uh, 
Florida levy riding, avoiding gators. Hopefully, you can bunny hop them.” Wade likes to climb hills 
with a mountain bike and road bike. The feeling is   fantastic. Okay, so Joe’s heading out to work. 
Uh, yes, switching to lurking mode. I love it, Joe. Just lurk away. We love lurkers here, too. 
If you are a lurker, just keep on lurking or say hi anytime you guys want. No one’s going to 
bite you here. Um, Floyd gave up chapter and verse after Lance wouldn’t help him get back into 
cycling, so he handed everything. Yeah, exactly,   dude. Exactly. I actually heard Floyd went to uh 
Johan Brunal and said, “Hey, dude. Can you help me get back in?” And Brunal just shut him right 
down. Like basically uh what do you call it? Uh he was a pariah at that point. Basically no one 
could touch him. Is that the right word? Did I   use that word right guys? I hate to say it didn’t. 
113 gap now from the front of the pelaton. Uh we are starting to get out of the flats now. It does 
start getting rolly before we start our assault up the uh cold day Tartigui which really isn’t that 
big guys. It’s only 3.6 km at 3 and a half%. I’m thinking if these if anyone wants to join this 
breakaway they’re going to have to do it soon.   Uh, we’ve got the pelon in the front. Vanart is 
22 seconds back. So again, he’s in that mechanical gap, if you can call it that. 30 seconds, 35 
seconds. He’s just in the mechanical gap. He’s surfing his way back up through the cars. Uh, 
yeah. So, Ivard, you’re right. Floyd tried to get back in, did nothing else do, uh, and then 
they all just shunned him. No one helped him. So, he was like, “Fine, if that’s how it’s going 
to be, that’s how it’s going to be.” He needs to write a book. That guy, uh, Tony Tony Kabaru, who 
you’re saying, “Benny will win today. Legs will be heavy.” Okay, dude. Let’s see how it goes. They’re 
going to have to get up there and start. I think   they need to get up to the front and start helping 
uh Trek and uh, Sudal here. Wow. Just the roads here are just insane. There’s like they’re going 
down a long road and to get to the turn there’s like two camper vans in the middle for a huge 
switchback coming back around. I want to see if I   can show you that real quick here. Uh let’s see if 
I can do that. Going to have to let this refresh here, guys. Uh supposedly it’s refreshing on the 
fly. Um here we go. Here’s the Tatty group. It’s Everything’s trying to load in now. I just missed 
it. What I’m talking about is this here. If you   look at the map, you can see it right here. They 
have to go down here. You could have just jumped across the road there real quick, but they had to 
get to that uh the turnaround there. And we’ll go to the leading group, guys. All the data is coming 
straight in. I can pick any of these riders. I’m   going to pick Yonas cuz I’m really impressed with 
him uh riding along. Again, here, take a look at the buildings on the side of the road. Uh very 
simplified. It’s supposed to look that way. And   then if you look at the map, you can see we are 
passing buildings on the side of the road. So, it’s showing you what’s exists in the real 
world based on the maps that you see nearby. So, we should be seeing little isolated pockets of 
forest. When we take the corner up ahead here, might be hard to see cuz the forest is up high. 
No, it is popping in there. Uh there’s a bit of   of a hill here on the left hand side. I can 
see that on the map, too. And then you can see the forest. Look at the green patch here. 
Uh you can see the forest up ahead here. So, it shows it really well. If we go to the right, 
uh, there should be more open fields and forest and more on the right hand side of the road up 
ahead. So again guys, that’s bike terra. Just wanted to have a quick peek. Probably use that 
a lot more tomorrow. Uh, I think it’s going be   really important tomorrow. Uh, guys, I’m really 
far behind in the chat. Got to have a coffee sip. I will take one natural break. A natural break for   me is basically I may do that but also 
I got to grab a coffee every time. Uh Tony here Floyd was delusional if he thought 
Lance would help him. Yeah, I know. They were kind   of like they just wash their hands of Floyd. Uh 
yeah, I’d love to hear his story. I really would. Uh Fred saying 20696 spread currently. Okay, 
Fred. I’m not sure what that means right now. Um, maybe that’s the viewers and the likes. 
Maybe. I don’t know. Again, I for some reason mine’s not live at all right now. It’s stuck 
at 11 likes. I’m 11. Perfect. Times 10. Uh, Lance, I salute him because no matter what, he 
turned attention on cancer all by himself. Yeah, dude. That’s the thing. Exactly. Phil Liot 
talked about this. He really doesn’t have anything good to say about Lance except for 
but he did all that good stuff, too. So,   it’s kind of it is hard to hate him. Uh, but the 
way he treated other people that were trying to expose what was going on, people that were trying 
to ride clean, he basically had them, they forced them out of the tour. There is at least one or 
two pro riders in the tour that were trying to ride clean and Lance would go up to them every 
day and basically bully them. Uh, yeah, not cool. Oh, Oliver, espresso cups are called demitask 
cups, 60 to 90 mls. Yeah, I did learn that an espresso shot is 40 ms. Uh, and that’s just using 
like a kind of like a higherend pod machine. Uh, it’s a 40 mil shot. Looking back at the 2021 stage 
here, looks like that looks like a Cavendish win there. I think I think one year he did just a 
one-year stint, wasn’t it? Over at might have been a quick step. I think he did a one-year stint 
with them. He kind of bounced around a bit. Uh Morton said he has a Honda sofa raider, I think. 
Uh that must be his bike. Is that a motor bike? It sounds like. Hey, Tony. Hey, Colin. As 
long as you are comfortable in your space,   it’s all that matters and we appreciate your 
time and effort to keep us up informed. Yeah, dude. Tony, thanks so much, dude. Uh yeah, so 
I kind of got everything jammed in here and   uh sit back a little bit, talk here. Oh, where’s 
the mic when you need it? I need a new mic arm. That might be the next uh investment here. I My 
mic’s good. This arm, I picked it up one day. It’s kind of crappy. Uh so maybe I’m going to buy a new 
one here quick. I need a longer one. One that’s   easier to move. Uh yeah, it’s just my space. It’s 
where I work out. It’s where I do the streaming, but I it does need a retweak. I think you’re 
here pretty quick. I’m happy with it now. Uh so US Chris in Japan rides of Bianke. Very nice. 
Fred Vice was everyone doing blood transfusions when Lance posted us or was Lance first or unique 
with that heard you would capture blood in the Rockies for you said tour. So what I saw so that 
whole blood doping thing that was like Soviet era you know like uh LA Olympics in that time Russian 
Olympics or Moscow Olympics in that time they were kind of leading the charge and all that. What’s 
funny too, there’s I think there’s track records,   female track records that still stand from the 80s 
that no one’s ever touched. Uh they were like the kings of all sorts of uh supplemental assistance. 
You go back and look at some of these female stars and you’re like, is this the men’s event? You 
can’t even tell. Uh they are so powerfully built. The steroids, the cortisols back then. Then they 
went to the blood doping. I heard that uh again it’s just things I’m listening to in an audio 
book. They were doing uh micro doing of EPO when EPO first came along. Then they did full shots 
of it hoping it would like directly to the vein uh hoping it would go in and out of the system 
quick. It was all timing. And then when they   finally got smart or the testers were able 
to catch the EPO, uh they actually went back to blood doping. So that’s when that whole blood 
doping thing came out. Uh Tyler talks about it in   his book. He got super sick. Uh because they take 
the blood out, they store it. If it’s not stored correctly, it can go bad. Uh or what if they give 
you someone else’s blood? Like the risk is just brutal. Um I think they might be even if I was to 
try to cheat, uh maybe you can do a micro blood infusion. I’m not talking about a liter of blood 
that they took out or a unit, whatever they call   it. How about like a tenth of a unit, a 20th of 
a or 10 20% of a unit. Uh it would help. So yeah, that was all during the Lance era, too. So Fred’s 
saying he would capture it in the Rockies. Yeah. And for use at the tour, they’d store it all 
the way. I think that was very, very common. I have seen a video that when a crash, the bike is 
still running in circles. June, I’ve seen those.   as well alleging there’s a small motor inside 
the frame. Is this true? Uh June, I guess we’ll never know if it’s true or not. I’ve seen those 
videos, too, and I’m like, “Oh, yeah, that looks   funny. That looks really funny.” I’ve seen one, 
I think, where a rider crosses the finish line, puts his bike down. I’m going to I’ll try to find 
it. I’m going to look again today. They’re only like three, four minute long videos clips. Some 
might just be physics. Uh or you didn’t see that someone was nearby or the rider because it’s 
the way it’s filmed. I’m just seeing a small   crash here. Tutor rider. Oh, actually quite a 
few riders down. Uh looks like there’s five or six riders involved in it. At least standing on 
the road. Two Inos riders, one just waiting. One   tutor rider calling for a bike. I think uh looks 
like there might be a group rider here. I’m not going to call it a massive crash like I hear uh in 
theuh other commentaries. I saw one a few days ago massive crash on the road and there’s two guys and 
it wasn’t a massive crash. It was basically they just touched wheels. One guy fell, the other guy 
put his foot down. I’m like what are you what are   you guys watching? Uh I know I like to hype it 
up but I don’t want to fake it either. Um yeah, so I’ve seen those videos doing Yes. So, the one 
I saw that looked really fishy was he put his bike   down, was no longer moving, standing beside his 
bike, lifted his bike, back tire, and it started spinning really fast. And I’m like, what? Yeah. 
So, that crash that just happened, that was not a massive crash, but four or five riders did hit 
the deck. Uh, probably delayed 60 or 70 riders, I would say. I’m going to see how that’s for looking 
here on the screen right now. If we’re seeing that   with the tour, how quickly did they get back 
on here? Uh we’ve got our four riders up front. 1 minute 13 Pelaton here 113 back. Obviously 
140 riders, 10 riders out the back. So they’re obviously getting back on. Now the tutor rider 
must have been Julian. I wasn’t sure if it was uh cuz we’ve got a tutor rider and a UNOX rider back 
here uh pacing the UNOX car. And then we’ve got ah that’s Alfalipe. So Alfa Phippe was probably the 
slowest to get up. He was on the left hand side of   the road in the ditch. didn’t go down super hard. 
Alfalipe has had a few bumps this year. Um yeah, I think the I think the blood transfusion FD 
just to back go back was very common. They   said I think the EPO test the first good EPO test 
came out in 99 uh 2000 somewhere in there. Uh the Olympics had it. The tour to France wasn’t using 
it yet. So people were still just doing whatever   they felt like. they they basically had no way to 
find it and the writers knew that. So then once they found a way to test it then it became what 
can we do now? Back to the blood transfusions. Uh you know I saw everyone to Bjorn Reese 
he’s commonly called Mr. 60% with a 60% hematocrit level. Uh that’s the blood volume 
of red blood cells in his blood in total. um that book talked about it that his his test 
rate was actually at 64%. Like his blood would have been like maple syrup. So super dangerous. 
He would have been a guy up in the middle of the night exercising uh re receiving saline solutions 
uh to thin out his blood. That’s what they did. Tony here. Everyone was doing blood doping in the 
pal. So why single out Lance? Pure jealousy. Yeah,   dude. You’re right. Again, I’m not singling out 
Lance. Lance attacked everyone. Everyone else said, “Yeah, okay. I’m bad. I’m a bad boy.” 
Whereas Lance fought people to the end and refused to die and refuse to admit it. That’s what 
That’s what he did wrong. I I still like him. Um Oh, sorry guys. I’m missing stuff here. Uh 
missing lots. Oh, guys, I’m sorry. I’m so   far behind. Free speech. Uh Free speech looks 
like a new person here, dude. Welcome aboard. Yonas should not be renovating, but if he does, 
I need to watch it. Laughing. Hey. Hey. Yeah, dude. Yeah, exactly. Why is he renovating? 
Leave that till you’re retired. Focus on uh tour of France. Robert again, dude. Thank you 
so much. Uh really appreciate all your support, guys. There’s so much generous support here. I 
love it. It’s fantastic. Um, it’s only going to   make the channel better in the future and it gives 
me a chance to put time into this to make this happen. Uh, I’ve been working long and hard on my 
channel. Uh, I can’t I guess what I’m saying is I can’t just keep doing it forever. Uh, it has to 
it has to be successful at some point. R Stanley uh from Oklahoma. I know he’s from Oklahoma. 
Riding a dude, nice bike. 2023 Trek Doani. I love it, dude. Love it. Uh going to keep a close 
eye here. It’s still a one minute 9 second gap back. Uh we’ve got one rider M Lou here who is a 
Israel premitech. Oh this guy my Mattis Lavell. I talked about him quite a few stages ago. Looks 
like just a larger type guy to me. Larger type guy. He’s a bigger rider. He’s not like sticks and 
bones. And Alfalipe uh is catching up with Mattis Lavell right now. Matis maybe is probably his 
name. Uh I got to catch up with the chat guys. So,   Robert, thank you again so much, Robert. You’ve 
been very kind to the channel. Uh, Wade, stage 18 is a great stage for Pogy and Mountain Ghost. 
Exactly. It’s going to be a huge battle tomorrow,   guys. It’s going to be an epically long stage. 
I think it’s probably a brutal start for me, too. Let me have a look. Uh, 12:10. That 
one hurts, guys. That one hurts. So, 12:10 is 10 after 4 in the morning for me. That 
means I’m going to have to be up at 3 a.m. to get my brain fully on focus. Get the coffee going. 
Speaking of which, hot coffee. Um, I’ll be in bed tonight by 8:30. Going to have to I I’ve been 
really tired, especially trying to ride. So, what I got to do is soon as I’m done this, you 
guys have heard this, the routine, do the chores,   I got to jump on my bike right away. And in my 
mind, I’m a really good cyclist still. Uh, they are on the climb now, guys. They are on the climb. 
Let’s take a look at the live tracking here. Here   we can see the climb now. Ooh, look at this guys. 
Will these four up front be able to hold on? How hard is the back group going to push? Uh, jumping 
back again. 44.7K an hour right now. So, uh, it is up from the very start. Hill’s going to slow 
it down again. Going to go back just to the live   tracking here. And as I’m doing that, I’m going to 
take a quick peek over here. See if this reyncs. And after the top, I will grab a quick coffee 
front group. They’re there on the climb. If I go to the Pelaton, hang with Florian Lipoitz here. 
Okay, seeing all these riders here. Jumping back, catching up with chat still, guys. Uh 
yeah, tomorrow’s going to be incredible,   guys. Do not miss tomorrow stage. Three HC’s 
in one stage. We did one HC yesterday and we saw the excitement. Uh, Israel Premier Techch 
leading the way. This looks like Woodsy to   me right here. Woodsies on the front. Uh, are we 
seeing that? Uh, looks like the Pelaton group here right now. They’re all there. Polka dots, yellow 
jersey, green jersey, white jersey. They’re all   there. Team Simmons at the front again. Woodsy 
leading out. Woodsy trying to go on a move, I believe. I can see the UAE riders lurking. 
Everyone’s being attentive here over the top. Not sure if he’s going to be able to get away 
from these guys, but this the whole P they’re   saying that Pelaton’s together. It’s pretty strung 
out and it’s going to string out even more. Yeah, front end stringing already. Catching up with 
chat, guys. Uh, blood transfusion expensive and risky. Not everyone doing those. Kind 
of easy to make a fatal mistake. Exactly,   Robert. Uh, things are a lot different 
since the bio passport started. Yes, true. Uh, Gearhard Schultz saying, “Oo, the tur of 
French should move to another country. The French are being arrogant.” Okay, I’m not sure what I’m 
missing there. This is Oh, and I’ve seen an attack   by Vizar. It looks like about Vanard. Venard’s off 
the front, guys. Venard puts in a huge attack over the Trek uh team. Uh, and he is on the move today. 
So, Vanard’s probably thinking, “Wow, we need a stage win. We need a stage win. It’s my time.” 
We saw Tim Wellins do something similar to this. Tim went after the top though. Uh Venard’s trying 
to put an attack in here. Uh this is not something that’s going to set anything up for uh the GC 
category. This is not Venard going out and that Yonas is going to be able to do something. It’s 
not that type of date. Uh yeah, this is the first time in a long time that the tour to France has 
been completely inside of France. It’s been a long time. Uh they’ve stayed 100% inside of France this 
year. I think that’s maybe what Gard’s referring to. Gard, nice to have you aboard. Tony here. Uh, 
tomorrow and Friday are days of reckoning. Don’t think Pogy will crack, but watch Rodri. He can 
reach the podium. Yeah, guys, it’s going to be   just a watch and wait game. Uh, can Roick move up 
to fourth? Maybe third. That’s going to be a tough decision point for uh Red Bull Bore Hands Growa. 
They’ve already got a guy on their team in third. Uh, is he is Roick there just to help? Will they 
let Primos take it away? I think it might become a friendly battle. Like whoever’s feeling stronger, 
guys, go for it. We can’t even say now. I think they still have a lot of respect for Primos. They 
know Lipoitz is the new upandcomer. Uh Primos has got the record behind him. Uh so that’s going to 
be a tough battle there. Uh will Pogy crack? Guys, we won’t know. Um, if you go back and look at 
all the stuff that was written in 2022 and 2023, yeah, can we crack Pog? Poggy. Uh, back then, 
Pogy was called the Phenom. Uh, he’s unbeatable unless he cracks. You just got to go back a 
couple years and read all this stuff, find   the videos where they talk about it. Uh, it’s all 
out there. U, I’m going to just have a quick peek over here for a second. See what I can see here. 
That’s the Pelaton leading group, Quinton Pashe. I don’t think I’ll be able to show you much 
here. There’s too much of a gap here between   these groups right now. Um, is I’m not sure 
if I’m actually seeing Gashinard off the back right now. Again, is Gashinard off the 
back? I hope he’s not. I don’t want to   see Gashinard. Gashinard is off the back. Uh, 
maybe he’s still suffering from yesterday. So, this is the dude that survived yesterday 
somehow. uh he was 23 minutes behind and then he disappeared as well. I’m like did he withdraw? 
Obviously he didn’t because he’s here today, but   he is slipping off the back right now. So whatever 
was bothering him before is still bothering him. And Matis Lavell here uh he’s uh falling off 
too. 10 seconds further back. Over the top over the top I think EF was pushing hard there 
going over the top. So that would be Albani. They should be over the top 
right now. Oh, yeah. They’re It’s right here. It’s It’s actually hard to see. 
They’re over the top. Uh let’s just see if Okay, so they’re talking about Van’s house. We saw wood 
accelerate. We’ve seen all that, guys. Uh Vanart’s away. Vanart would have been the fifth person 
across that uh mountain point. There’s only one   point available at that point and the tour is not 
showing us any uh points there. It’s one point, but this is going to be key for the breakaway. Can 
they stay away? Uh 42 km to go. This is just like the stage from the day before. Uh when Tim Wellins 
went over the top, it was 43 km to go. I think there was four or five riders. It became seven 
or eight. Wellins went the seven riders behind. never got working good together. Uh Quinn Simmons 
was really ticked off about that. Also ticked off that one of the motorbikes got in the way and Tim 
was riding amongst them. Uh but it’s not his fault the motorbikes were there. He’s just racing. It 
did show him several times passing the bikes. It wasn’t like he stayed behind them. He come up 
behind them, used them to his advantage as he can,   and then skirt out and go around them. Okay. 
Uh, can we have a quick sip here, guys? What time is it here now? 
8:30 in the morning, guys. Okay. Free speech, but the body is not with you. 
So, what did free speech say earlier? I’m trying to figure out what they’re saying there. Uh, 
okay. I’ll figure that out in a bit. June Vizma is hoping something incredible happens to Pogy. 
Why not Vizba concentrate on the races and do the best they could? I call it. Okay, so June’s saying 
it’s unsportsmanlike for Vizma to do that. Well, I don’t think they’re hoping that something 
happens to Pogy crash. No one wants that. Uh   I’m sure they’re thinking that they don’t want him 
to get so sick that he can’t ride. They want him to see they want to see him tire. They want 
to see him crack a little bit. Um much like Pogy wants to see other riders crack. Uh you know 
you’re beating them. they can’t keep up with the sustained pressure. Uh, I’d love to see that. 
I’d love to see Tatty crack a little bit. Uh, and bring it closer together. I don’t think that’s 
unsporting like. Uh, but yeah, I definitely don’t want to see Pogy crack like crash today and 
be so hurt tomorrow that he doesn’t defend his um, jersey properly. Guys, speaking of 
which, I’m gonna throw this out there. Uh, I brought up this morning the women’s tour last 
year when Demi Ballerin crashed. Well, actually, when someone crashed into her, I watched that 
stage so many times. She’s on the ground. She has the yellow jersey. Uh, this is controversial. 
I’m This is going to stir the pot right here. Uh, she’s on the ground. Her team car pulls up beside 
her. They know what’s going on. It wasn’t like she   was isolated. Everyone attacks. Everyone just 
goes. I think they were about 4 and a half km to the finish. So, I think it was just pure mayhem 
uh at the front. I believe her teammate won, but they handed the jersey to the eventual winner of 
the Tour to France fe last year. Uh I was kind of like, would that have happened at the men’s tour 
to France if Pogy was laying on the ground four to five km from the finish? Would they all have went 
full in on the attack? What do you guys think? Just a little pot stir for advice. How often 
does the tour to fans do the trifecta climb in tomorrow stage? Did Lance do this one and how how 
did he fare? Dude, I’ll have to look into that for you. Um, you know, they’ve made this tour really 
tough. Generally, they don’t do three HC climbs in one day. Uh, but I’m sure we can look back and 
find examples of it. Sometimes they use almost the exact same routes that happened earlier. Uh 
that mountain stage of the hoticam I think it was the hoticam no super bananers uh the super 
bananar stage where we did the tormale we did   the parry sword uh and then we switched up the 
super bananers or we did the aspan in between too. So we did the Tormale, they did the Aspan, 
then they did the Perry sword, they finished up at Super Banars. Uh there was a stage I think in 
200 was 2006 where they didn’t do Super Ban Years, they just went up another hill and finished there. 
Uh they link all these roads together uh so they can put together exciting stages. and some of 
the records from the past still stand because the modern generation of uh pro riders hasn’t 
been in a tour to go up them. Good question, Fred. I’ll have to look into some of that stuff. 
Uh free speech, 3 minutes behind is not the end,   but if they not go after the win, it’s far away. 
Amen. Yeah, you’re right. Free speech. Uh and like I said before, call the grand on when Caddy 
did crack last time. He lost 4 minutes and 4 km. These climbs tomorrow are 20 kilometers long. I’m 
just saying it’s possible. Uh if someone said, uh, here Colin Inside Cycling World, 
here’s $500. Pick the winner. Um, all everything else being kind of 
even, uh, and not using betting odds,   I put my money on Tatty 100%. Let’s say it would 
be like you put $500 on Tatty, you’re going to win a,000. You put 500 Yonas, you’re going 
to win a,000. It would all go on Tatty. Now,   if I could win a million dollars on Yonas, I put 
it on Yonas because something might happen. Uh, our leading group is now down to 39 seconds, 
guys. They’re flying 36.6 km to the finish. And as I was predicting earlier, take a look at 
the average speed on the bottom of the screen.   We’re now at 40.2 45.2 km an hour. It’s came up 
about half a kilometer, sorry, 0.5 km an hour, uh, just getting over the top and on the downhill. 
And I think it’s going to probably increase uh   from there as the sprint teams come out uh as the 
teams who’ve done nothing this tour really come out. Yeah, just looking at a flashback here of uh 
the sprint point. You know X had it easy. Total went after him then gave up at about 50 meters 
to finish. The other two didn’t even participate. Um where’s Benny? He’s in the main group 
dude. Abel Keffle. Abel’s been here a lot too. I’ve seen this name a lot. Uh Benny safe 
in the main pelaton right now. Uh expecting the sprint finish. Wade they are pedaling so 
hard. Okay. Wade saying hi calling the movie is called the program 2015. Okay dude I’ll look 
for it. I’ll try to find a YouTube. If not I’ll   uh that kind of stuff to me is worthwhile 
doing a quick rental. Fantastic watch. Ghart here. Gearart’s on the uh he’s on the 
motor pacing conspiracy side. Sorry, the motor open conspiracy side. They change the bikes 
so often because the batteries get flat. Well,   dude, that that’s that’s the the viewpoint of the 
other side. You’re right. Uh people are saying, “Why are they changing bikes so often?” So, you 
could say it’s for motor pacing if you want, or you could just say it’s so quick and easy 
now. They’re so efficient doing bike changes. Flat batteries. Yeah. Uh seeing Tom’s uh Scoins 
doing selfies with his team maybe yesterday stage. He has to get a yellow card and a fine for that. 
Yeah, he might. You’re not even allowed to have   your cell phone uh on the surge. Colin Whittington 
here back from Hong Kong again. Colin’s been here virtually every day. Gard’s just thinking out 
loud. He says, “Guys, I’m super far behind   here.” So, anyone I’m getting to this Morton 
here. Morton, dude. Sorry I haven’t uh gotten this yet. Inside Cycling World loves Morton’s uh 
contribution here. Thank you very much, dude. He’s   just saying thank you. Uh now, it started raining 
at 10 km ago. 10 km ago. It started raining, guys. I told you earlier at the very beginning, if you 
were here at the beginning at 5:35 this morning,   we’ve been going 3 hours now. I’ve been 
chattering non-stop for three hours. Um, and I love doing it. It was pouring at the finish 
line. So, it’s been off and on raining all day. And actually looking at the road right here, you 
can see spectators standing with umbrellas. So,   the the finish for the sprinters is going to be 
super sketchful today. Super sketchville. Um, I think we’re going to see some crashes. Everyone’s 
so desperate for wins. Only eight teams have won a stage at this year’s Tour to France. There’s 
23 teams in total. The roads are wet. Uh these guys are bombing downhill. I know 53 54k doesn’t 
sound fast. That’s 33 34 miles an hour. They’re up to 60k now. Wet roads, paint all over the roads, 
speed bumps. Uh yeah, brave guys. That’s all I got to say. Ooh, these corners are sketchy. And it’s 
probably like the first rain, so there’s still like oils and crap on the road. Uh UNOX guy, he’s 
feeling comfortable pushing ahead. He’s already won one stage tour to France. Vote riding solo. Uh 
he’s in between uh them and he’s just ahead of the Pelaton here. He’s going to wait out for them now. 
Uh Jay Taylor’s back. Uh talking to Don Calder. I’m in Florida, too. If you bicycle the fabulous 
Van Fleet trail there, gators are lounging, any uh gravel trail ride around Lake Opaka Oopa, 
uh gators actually sun themselves on the trail. Yeah, guys, I wouldn’t be anywhere near that 
trail. So, yeah, Morton here, uh Morton Hansen, Morton, are you from Sweden? I think Morton’s 
from Sweden. Uh I think it was asker sunund,   I believe. I believe so. That was earlier in the 
chat today. Uh, thank you so much for you helping out Inside Cycling World. Uh, we’re going to keep 
growing this channel here. Uh, G Ghart being super active in the chat. Love this Ghard. Love your 
viewpoints. Uh, Vout is very aggressive. Wonder   what he is up to. Probably has the wrong voltage. 
So, Gard throwing some nice fun comments in here, guys. Some really tough corners here coming into 
the small town. Pelaton really slowing down. If you’re at the back, you’re really out the back 
now. Gingerely going around the corners. All the fans lined up on this corner probably waiting for 
a crash. Van Art looking back letting Team Simmons come back to the front. And again, guys, who’s 
on the front? Quinn Simmons. If anyone deserves a win, it’s Quinn Simmons. I’m going to say it right 
now. Uh, for the effort he’s put in at this tour, let me know what you guys think. Does Quinn 
Simmons deserve a tour win stage victory?   I’m just saying on the amount of effort he’s put 
in. So again, Morton, thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Uh Dave’s finally getting back to 
me here. The last best ride is in Whitefish up here in the northwest corner of Montana. 55 or 95 
mile options. I’m in the 55 milei version of the parasyclist category. Awesome, dude. Riding a hand 
cycle. Oh my, dude. Super pumped by that. Um, if you go back and look at the channel, uh, there’s a 
race series I did for, uh, Echelon Racing League. Uh, it was all for, uh, so that’s the Echelon 
Racing League. They have Project Echelon,   guys. They have a procontinental team in the 
US. Um, they’re very successful. They also have, so Echelon team. They have Project Echelon. They 
support disabled veterans um by providing them with bikes and indoor trainers to get them back 
focusing on something really positive. Uh it’s a great uh charitable cause. I did all of their race 
series inside uh over the winter and I did their uh national age categories championship series. 
So I’m hoping to do that again this winter for them. So yeah, the hand cycles, dude, that’s 
tough. That is really tough. So Dave’s walking around. He’s probably just absolutely jacked. 
When you see these guys arms like incredible, Dave, do you do any inside riding uh for training 
and fitness? I’d like to know that cuz I do see guys if guys, if you ever ride Zift, there is a 
handbike on there, too. And I see them floating around. So I’m like, this is probably a real 
parasyclist out there riding. Dave, let us know. Andrew Moss, joining from Kingston, Canada, and 
riding a 1994 Brody Sovereign I picked up new. Wow, dude. That bike’s 30 years old. 31 years 
old. Awesome. I remember the name Brody. Uh, I don’t even know if they’re still 
around anymore. Probably not. Uh,   we got Lawn Chick here. Lawnchick 22. Brand new 
here. Enjoying your take on the stage and other topics. Listening from North Carolina. Go Canes. A 
lawn chick 222. I wanted the Canes to beat uh the Panthers so bad this year. I was really cheering 
for him and I hate to say it, but they got kind of   beaten up pretty bad. Uh Canes are a great team. 
There’s a guy uh his name’s Cycling Slapshot. His I think his name is Chris Sheer. Uh he supports 
me over uh in my Discord group. Uh he’s a huge Canes fan. We always talk hockey, me and him. So 
yeah, go Canes. Pulling for him next year. Evart, I think I mentioned before my two Roborikkes 2001 
yellow Trelli Express steel carbon fork seat stay and yes I think you did. Full campy. I do remember 
the full campy and the Colonago CX0 Jirro pink 105 group. Nice. Love it, dude. I my inside 
bike here, my Jake the Snake Kona cycle cross bike. I ride 105 mechanical. Uh my Cllo I have uh 
Altegra Di2 on it. And then my oldest bike, uh, the Look TT bike that you would have seen ridden 
at the Tour to France somewhere way back when, uh, is full Jura Ace, strictly mechanical, and I 
think it’s actually, you know, it’s probably 10 speed, so it’s not super old. Uh, great job, guys. 
Currently at 106 likes, up 26 in 30 minutes. Thank you so much, dudes, for pushing this. Thank you 
so much. Uh, yeah, guys, if you’re here, just uh,   give the the channel a quick like. it gets it out 
to other people later today. Four riders up front riding on really wet roads, guys. Really wet 
roads. 107 lead at the moments. Uh the tension, as I say here from the fe the feed, the tension 
increases in the bunch. They’ve got a little rain   symbol here. The road is wet, exposed to the 
wind, and the pelon need to up the ante to get back to the chasers. Let’s take a look at the map 
quickly. Now, earlier the winds were coming from uh the west. Yeah. So right now they are exposed. 
The winds are coming from the the left hand side   of the screen you’re looking at. So anywhere 
along here echelons could happen. Then this is insane too. Here I’m just looking at the 
front. There’s team Sim as us as usual. But   there’s Valentine Perry Punch at the front just 
giving her like a madman. Uh so here he is winner of the von two yesterday. Probably the biggest 
victory of his career driving the Sudal team. Uh cuz they they’d love to get another victory 
today. They’re probably get full of confidence   today. Wet weather conditions. Tim Merlier, uh, 
probably better in the wet than Jonathan Milan. And I’m just saying that from where they grow up. 
Jonathan Milan being Italian. Uh, Tim, I’m not sure if Tim is Dutch or Belgium. Matty Mahoric 
trying to get back on uh, riding behind the race director’s car here. I can see Tatty riding 
probably from here probably 30th or 40th place. staying safe near the front. As we get further to 
the finish, guys, we’re going to see Vizma move to the front. We’re probably going to see UAE come 
to the front to get their riders out of trouble, uh, and keep them near the front so no one goes 
down in front of them and causes an accident. Uh, Gearhart saying, uh, little Figgot. Who’s 
that? Uh, no idea. When I look at that, I I think you want to say Phil Liot. I think 
I think he’s got a twist on Phil’s name here. Phil Liot, he’s got little Figot says, “Who’s 
that?” Uh, if we are talking about Phil Liot, the world’s greatest uh cycling commentator. 
Uh, Ivard workhorse is a 1997 Canidel F700 in team Volvo Canidel blue and yellow. 
Dude, I’ll have to look that one of   those up after. I’m not really sure what an 
F700 is. Yeah, they’re showing Maddie on the back here. I’m not sure if he was all in an 
accident. He almost clipped the back end of Uh, wow. I can’t tell what card that is. It’s a 
board car. Didn’t look like a team card. He almost clipped the back end of it. Vizma coming up on the 
left side here. Quinn Simmons pushing hard here. 27.3 km to go. They’ve got a minute to pull back 
now. This is doable. They could pull it back. These wet conditions are probably going to help 
the breakaway. We might see. So, you’re saying So, you’re saying there’s a chance? There’s a chance, 
guys. Uh let’s take a look here. We’re gonna have a quick peek. This dude here, Jonas Abramson, 
has already won a stage at the Tour to France. He’s already won a stage. Uh he put himself out 
into the break again at the beginning. Uh you can’t score if you don’t take a shot. You got 
to shoot the puck. You got to shoot the puck.   Uh when I watch hockey, I always scream over at 
Joey Jojo. I’m like, “Stop with the tricky dicky. Shoot the puck. Shoot the puck. Uh if you don’t 
go on the breakaway, you can’t win the stage. So, he’s out there again. One minute gap. What do you 
guys think? Is the breakaway going to get caught? Especially in these conditions. Uh up at the front 
now. We’ve got more teams assisting now. Ooh, it’s totally changed at the front now. This 
looks like a lot rider on the front doing   an arm flick to a picnic rider. And then 
there’s Perry Ponch. I can totally tell him now from a distance. Two Sadal riders coming 
through. three Sudal riders coming through,   then the Trek team. So, Trex’s getting 
support now from Sudal and two or three other riders from other teams. So, 
they’ve all got uh ambitions here today. Evard blood doping is the oldest form of doping. 
It’s been since the 40s or 50s. Yeah, dude. And   they came back once EPO started getting caught. 
So, uh Yeah, dude. I can’t imagine. Yeah, it’s so hard to think what they’re doing now. Like, why 
would you take that risk? Uh Julie saying Yonis is attacking. I think Yonas was just moving up with 
the Visma team trying to keep him out of trouble.   Guys, these roads are like a skating rink. You 
can just tell. Uh 55k an hour, average speed, 45.5 km an hour out there now. Soaking wet out 
there, guys. Uh we’re down to 25.7 km. Uh that was Jay, but I’m behind, guys. Oh, wow. I’m I’m 
half an hour behind this chat, guys. I’m sorry. Uh, okay. I’m going to have to start catching up. 
I’m going to have to start catching up. Under 20 km to go. I’m just jumping forward here a little 
bit, guys. Oh, Don said he lives about 10 km from the Panther Stadium. Uh, what’s it called? I think 
they play at I think it’s called Paradise. Watched all the series. You guys are good. Wishing you 
well for next season. Does anyone think the NHL   needs to look at their division makeup? Okay, good 
question there. Yeah, I think the Panthers play is somewhere called Paradise, which to me, Don, you 
can let us know. It looks like it’s just a suburb of uh Miami, I would guess, or Fort Lauderdale, I 
think. Do I want to miss this dude here, Phil Ko, living in Cayman Islands from Canada, dude? Living 
in the Cayman’s from Canada. Uh, riding a 1991 Rocky Mountain Blizzard from Two Wheel Resource 
in Canada from in Edmonton, dude. Dude, I had probably a 90 or 91 Rocky as well. Hard tail. Uh 
I think that’s what you’re probably riding. Uh it was like a dark blue with a light blue fork. 
Carbon forks weren’t around then for me anyways. Uh that’s what I did all my mountain biking on out 
in Canonasis country. I talked about it before. Little elbow, big elbow, about a 42 km loop. I’d 
go out there every Sunday morning by myself and just blast it. I remember just flying down trails, 
going through creek crossings where the rocks are all built up. Um, I look back now, one wipe out, 
I would not have gotten up. Uh, Secretassie’s back here. JT talking about the Florida Panthers. 
Yeah, they could win again next year, too. Guys, we’re at 24.5K. I’m just going to catch up with 
the chat because I feel like I’ve left Guys,   I’m just falling behind in the chat. Uh, you 
guys are so active here. I absolutely love it. If I don’t respond right away, it’s because I’m 
too busy. Every time someone brings up a comment,   it gets me thinking about something. Uh, it’s 
like a coffee chat with your friends. Uh, Uncle Uncle Matty’s back. Hello again. Fine, sir. 
Did you hear about the funny crash yesterday?   Three Aussies. Oh my god, I love this dude. I’m 
gonna say this all out loud, too. Did you hear about the funny crash yesterday? Three Aussies and 
budgie smugglers. Guys, what’s a budgie smuggler?   The best name ever for a speedo. Around about 
here. Who went the wrong way? Left side went the wrong way. Gonna lose 20 30 spots right there. 
Soaking wet, too. Uh, three bud three Aussies and budgy smugglers were waving uh and singing at 
the Pelaton. One of the Aussies waved back and   ran over the rider in front. Ooh. Okay. So, there 
was a funny crash at the end there. Uh, the budgy smugglers. Keep them away from me. Uh, Oliver’s 
asking, “What year is your Jake the Snake? I also read one model from 2010.” Dude, I’m going to say 
I think I bought this thing in I bought it in 20 I probably bought it in 2018. Uh, but it was new 
old stock, so I think it had been sitting around for a couple years. It’s a greenish color. It’s 
actually a really ugly color of green. It’s the   same color as my green scheme, so when you never 
see it. If I if I turn the camera over there, it’s invisible. All you see is the handlebars. 
Um, Lucas here is asking where he can watch, dude. Uh, this is like a a watch along party. 
Let’s go. Quinn Simmons. Yeah, I’m I’m cheering for Quinn today, too. Actually, I’m cheering for 
Yonas Abrahamson for being up there all day. 34 second gap, though, guys. That’s all we got left. 
And it looks like it’s socked in with weather, guys. They’re going through these small towns. 
I want to get the map up. Here we go, folks. There’s lots of hard corners. Any of these corners 
through these towns are scary. Uh, these are all towns here. Back out into the open here. Uh, could 
be some wind action at this point. Going around the corners, those big white stripes for the 
pedestrian crosswalks. That’s like a death trap   for these cyclists. And they have the speed bumps 
everywhere. So, you hit a speed bump, it’s soaking wet with white paint stripes on it. Quinn’s still 
driving the front. Uh, bar victorious rider here. It is Mattie. Mattiey’s just getting onto 
the backside. Of course, these all these little villages and that have cobblestones down in 
places. Super sketchville here for all the riders. Lucas keeps asking where can you watch? Uh, Don, I 
agree. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Last year at the Stanley Cup playoffs for all the 
teams, um, very tense watching Edmonton because they’re right up the road from us. I should be a 
Calgary Flames fan, but I’m just not that kind of   a supporter of sports. I’m like, just because I 
live here doesn’t mean I need to be a, you know, forever fan for them. I like who is doing well. I 
like to watch all the players, but Edmonton would skate in. Just take the shot. Don’t worry about 
setting up a tricky dicky play where you pass it   four times, someone does a spin around, you know, 
one-time. Uh Florida was better at that. They’d race in and take the shot. Uh if you don’t take 
that shot, there’s zero chance of it going in. Uh okay, let’s go. Quinn Shadow Blood Pirate. 
This guy sounds like a gamer to me. Sounds like a gamer name. Who’s number one right now? 
And how long is left for the race to end? Dude,   we’re getting close to the finish today. We got a 
group of four up front. We got 21 km to go today. That’s 13 miles. They’ve got a 30 second lead over 
the Pelaton who’s screaming. I can now see Vizmo. Hang on, guys. Uh, have news from the finish 
roundabouts in last corner. I have news now. Ricardo is arriving now. The last corner to the 
left is narrow. It’s left. It’s narrow. So guys, this is RA radio broadcast from talk with 
Matteo because Matteo before the start looked at the video of the last kilometers. This is 
Twodoor Race Director talking to the riders   live out there saying the left corner is really 
scary today. Uh I am seeing Vizma at the front right now. They’re trying to keep Yonas safe 
at the front. This is not for Yonas to go on   some crazy attack today. That just would never 
happen in the realms of reality. The Pelaton is super strung out. Uh looking at this this 
Decathlon rather back he’s 250 300 m behind the front of the Pelon. Actually a UnoX rider 
coming up now. Intermar rider coming up too.   Uh, they’re all strung out here, guys. This 
is scary. Um, so you miss all the shots. Yeah, Uncle Maddie here saying, “Dude, Flow Bikes.” 
Yeah, you got to get a Flow Bike subscription.   I’m not sure where you are in the world. Uh, 
here in Canada, we watch on Flow Bikes. Peacock in the States, so get a sub and watch them. Uh, 
look at this dude here, dude. Your name, sorry, man. Oh, from Latvia. I love it, dude. Hey, 
watching from Latavia. Two guys are out there   riding strong. Nan. Okay, Nan is laughing. 
And I did know Tom Scoins was laughing, too. Uh we saw Tom earlier today with the Trek 
team pulling on the front. Just saw an Interar rider going off the back. Uh looks like he was 
pedaling a monster gear. One thing to remember,   guys, too. Uh all these bikes will have 
electronic shifting. You push a button, your gears shift like instantaneous. Uh if the 
batteries go flat, that’s when you know, I know we talk about the batteries going flat on their 
bikes. If your batteries go flat on your shifting,   you can’t shift gear. you’re stuck. The way he 
was pedaling, it looked like his battery pack for his shifters were was dead. So, you get stuck 
in a gear you don’t want. Uh, so the Latvian guy, Jevanis Renvos, I think. Uh, dude, I know I 
destroyed your name. Sorry about that. Uh, RC here is saying Simmons is a redneck. 
Uh, RC looks like he’s new here today. So, we still got our forefront, guys. They’re still 
holding 31 seconds. This rain helps them more   than it helps the Pelaton. Helps them more than 
helps Pelon. Just saw a funny thing on the side of the road here. One of the helicopters just kind 
of hovering low uh to get good camera shots. I’m surprised they’re still out. that audio book I was 
talking about back in the day. I think it was when   Lon Fenon was doing really well uh against Italian 
riders. Uh they talked about how the helicopters would get so low back then they would use them 
to assist the the riders. They would go in front of the rider that they didn’t want to win and get 
low on the time trials for camera footage. There would be a wind pushing against them and for their 
riders they would go behind them to give them a   little bit of a tailwind. That’s what I heard. 
I don’t know how much truth there is to that. Uh, Robert saying, “Yo, Lucas, set your 
VPN to Belgium and watch on Sportza.” Yeah,   there are ways to watch, guys, if you want to use 
a VPN. Uh, I’m just doing my own thing here. Evard Volvo Canada was the mountain by team. Allison 
Cider. Okay, do that. Tinker Warez, Missy Glover, Dave Coleman. Yeah, Tinker still posts all the 
time on Facebook. He’s still out there getting it.   Uh, guys, 17.9 km ago. still holding 31 km uh 31 
seconds. Average speed now up to 45.8. It’s going to slowly start creeping up. I think these four 
are going to be safe. I’m going with the fourman   breakaway. I think they’re going to survive. 
I think the finish is going to be really hard. There’s a lot of road furniture. The roads are 
dripping wet. On the front is still Sudal and Trek at the moment. Jonathan Milan sitting about fifth. 
Trek uh the Vizma team is right there. And I was going to say no UI, but uh Tatty’s right there as 
well. They’re bunny hopping things in the roads,   guys. One mistiming, one other ride makes a 
mistake, everyone could go down. Uh yeah, this is super scary here. Yeah, Dawn saying Panther 
Stadium is in Sunrise, Florida. It’s always changes his name depend. Yeah, dude. Same here, 
Don. It’s the same here. The the stadium changes names. Um, whoever pays for the sponsorship. Sudal 
finally helping Leel Trek. That’s from Robert. Bring back the four guys in front. Been letting 
Simmons do all the work. Monster again. Okay,   I’m way behind, guys. 850. Am I behind? Yeah, I’m 
still beh Oh, I’m getting close. Uh, yeah, Oliver, you’re right. You’re right. Uh, yeah. So, still 
cheering for go for the Canes. Panthers playing Sunrise Florida at Emirant Bank Arena. Merier’s 
team is working. Yeah. So, Sudal wants to get involved. There is some wins here at the finish, 
but they’re only 15k an hour showing. Uh, so I don’t think it’ll impact it too much. There won’t 
be any echelons from that unless it gets a lot   stronger. Yeah, these four Jay, as you’re saying, 
they’ve been in the lead all day long here. Uh, Oliver Oliver Met Marichek, at least you have 
disc brakes, dude. I do. I have disc brakes on my You know what though? They’re mechanical disc 
brakes. They’re not even hydraulic, so they don’t really have tons of stopping power. Uh, minus can 
lever brakes. Imagine bombing down. No, I dude, I can’t imagine it. Uh, you know what? I don’t 
even know how I’d tell which one mine is. Mine’s   all aluminum, too. Uh, my Jake is all aluminum. 
Uh, and I’m absolutely fine with it for the kind of riding I do outside. I just bought it because 
I wanted to try out some gravel riding. And I I just thought, you know what, original OG gravel 
riders, off-road riders were cycle cross riders. I thought, if it’s good enough for them, it’s good 
enough for me. So, I picked up a a brand new old   stock Jake the Snake Kona. Uh rode it outside 
a few times. Yeah, it was fun. It’s It’s a good bike. It’s a good bike. Held up well. And now it’s 
got so much miles on it. Uh riding inside. Okay. Uh, shadow blood player here. Damn, I’m betting on 
Meria to win. Is there any hope? Yeah, Meria could win the stage, but I think the weather is in huge 
favor of the four out front when they’re going through the hard roundabouts and stuff in town. 
And apparently there’s a really wicked lefthand   corner at the end. Let’s see if we can find that 
on the map, guys. Uh, I see it right there. There it is, guys. Look at this finish line here. So, 
they got to go through. Actually, it’s sketchy all the way, guys. 30 seconds. Uh, they’re hot 
on their heels, but there’s things they got to watch out. It’s all these roundabouts. There’s 
a roundabout here, another roundabout further up the road. Roundabout, multiple roundabouts to 
navigate in the wet. Uh, all these roundabouts have road furniture there. Uh, slippery 
paint. Oo, you can see it now in the distance, you can see the Pelaton coming. Average speed 
now has gone up. We’re almost at 46k an hour. So, you can see here in this little chunk here, if 
you look at the map, 1 2 3 four roundabouts, probably within a kilometer to go through. And 
then there’s a really sketchy left-hand bend.   It’s not a roundabout. And it was the twodoor 
radio saying it’s a really narrow corner. So, I don’t know how far that finishes. I wish I 
had a bit of a scale on here. this last corner, you need to be in front or ready to go uh super 
narrow. The Pelaton’s all going to get hung up back here. If you’re at the back, you’re not 
even getting around the corner in the top 50. Going to go back to the race here right now. 24 
second lead. Okay, guys. It’s coming down now.   It’s now starting to come down. They can easily 
pull this back with 14 km remaining. 24 seconds. They can do it. It all depends on the rains, how 
wet the roads get, uh, how brave these guiders guys feel up front. Again, guys, more of just a 
transitional stage. I love these stages. I love them, especially with four riders like this out 
front. Let’s give a shout out to these four riders   out front. Who are they again? Quinton Pache, uh, 
Maddie Machu Burgau, Jonas Abrahamson, and is it Vin? It’s Vincenzo Albani. So, EF could be in on a 
stage win today. Uh 25 seconds. Lot of road spray here. Anyone riding here right now, their teeth 
are full of road grits. And you can just imagine, right? Soaked to the bone here. Uh okay. Uncle 
Mattiey’s going for Milan winning with with Groves and Merier close. Okay, that’s a good one. Groves 
hasn’t done a lot, but he is a good sprinter. Uh, the Latafian dude, we’re going to call 
you Jr. Jr. Bigg Jr. from Latafia. No worries about the name. Uh, happy smile. Similar to 
the name that is is Eugene. Okay, got you, dude. So, Gennness is like Eugene. Okay, I’m 
just going to say it like that for now. I am an all-in Pogy fan. Right on, dude. Although, I feel 
Yonas has deserved the win. Maybe not this year, though. Yeah, dude. I I have equal respect for 
both of them. Like I don’t want to say Yonas is very strong right now. Tatty’s even said it. 
Tatty said yesterday, I was suffering at points at points. I didn’t I had nothing left to give. 
Uh I feel that this year people are expecting Yonas just to ride away from Tatty. And if Yonas 
can’t do it, he’s a loser. But Tatty hasn’t done   it either. Uh he’s taken a couple seconds here and 
there. I haven’t seen Tatty destroy Yonas yet on the road. Uh I mean Yonas lost time way early 
on, but I’m talking about the mountain climbs.   Like I didn’t see Tatty yesterday look back, give 
Yonas a stare and drop him. That didn’t happen at all. That was not what was on TV. Arnold Dele at 
the front, Jonathan Milan just ahead of him here, guys. There’s road stuff everywhere here. Medians, 
they’re going around a big right-hand bend. Uh, and you can see they’re drifting to the left cuz 
I think they’re taking the the corner so easy. There’s a big thing down the middle of the road 
with all the paint over it. Every one of those   paint stripes is a place to crash. I saw that in 
the women’s race last year from uh Tour to France Fam’s FX Swift where one of the the riders coming 
up. The only way she could pass on a wet stage was on this uh white paint strip that was about that 
wide. her sprint point was like on the scariest, sketchiest part. She didn’t win the sprint. Uh, 
she’s probably thinking, “This is where I crash.” Um, okay. So, Big Jr. from Lafia, thank you for 
your comments. Uh, Uncle Maddie again agreed. Yonas has been strong and deserves credit for 
his efforts. Potty is so Pogy is so strong. Yeah,   like I mean, again, just going to say it again. 
Pogy is the allout odds favorite to win. I don’t think you can say Yonas is weak this tour. I don’t 
think you can say that Tatty has destroyed Yianis’ tour either. Uh he’s gotten time gaps early on. Uh 
he did he did do well at the uh time trial. There was the one day of the Oticcom where yeah that 
huge attack by Jonathan Narvz and Tatty went up the road. Since then Yonas has been looking better 
day by day. Uh, but that’s I guess when we look back, you probably look back to the autocom stage, 
which I think was stage 10, and say that was the day where Tatty soded up if he does win the tour 
to Francis here. Big roundabouts again, guys. Uh, oo, Albani goes by himself on the front. I can 
see that happening right now on the video feed. And we’ve got Pache and Burgo chasing. Uh, it’s 
not showing. I’m going to watch this here quickly because Johansson is attacking like a madman 
on this feed. Going to get live here again. I don’t know if he’s just blown himself off and 
out the back. Attacking so hard on the front right now. There goes Albani. I’m seeing that now. 
Johansson’s the one that’s actually down the road. It’s Johansson down the road. Albani counters. 
Uh this is a bit delayed. I’m just going to keep watching this here. I just don’t think he’s 
showing up yet. Uh so here’s Albani. It’s not showing anyone here right now. So we’re not really 
sure who’s where. The four riders are there. I   think uh Abraham’s very strong rider and I think 
he’s still there in that mix. Uh but the gap is coming down. Uh from the very front to the Pelaton 
right now. It’s saying it’s only 22 seconds. Matty Mahoric still chasing on. I think he’s the only 
rider at the back. Maybe one more. Uh okay. Nope. Yeah, there’s Matty Mahorick. And then we got some 
dropped riders. Four riders. Valentine Perry Ponch who we I saw him earlier today uh in the last 20 
minutes driving as hard as he could on the front for Sudal. So even the climber gets out there 
on the SDL team and does the work. Albre this guy got dropped. Uh he crashed earlier. Luke 
Plap just out the back for Jo Alula. And Arvin St. Martins dyke think I’ve got his name finally 
figured out. Front guys 9.1 km. It’s just saying it’s Albanesei. I’m not sure yet. We’re going to 
take a look at that. Uh chat time again. Uh Wade, the leading the leading group will soon be ended. 
Um and be caught by the Pelaton here. Like it’s   it’s grouping up now to catch them. Let’s just 
see here. In total, they’re only 12 seconds back. 8.7. So, everyone’s taking huge risk here. I think 
I’m seeing Pogy on the front here. Uh about fourth rider back. So, I think some guys have seen 
this and went, “Why does Vizma keep putting Yonas near the front?” They’re not. They’re 
just keeping him safe. It’s like right now,   why is Pogy riding fourth coming in here? He’s not 
going for a stage win, although he’d take it if he could. Yonas is right behind him. They’re trying 
to stay out of trouble. Uh they’re worried that if they were in 70th or 80 place, there’s 80 riders 
ahead of them that could potentially fall. Okay, here it is happening. They are catching them now 
on this feed here. It should have all been caught.   Albanesei might be the only one left out front 
actually. And it’s showing Abrahamson. So the tracker is not working very good. They keep saying 
it was Albani. Now it’s Abramson. Either way, it’s only a 15-second gap. Let’s just jump to the map 
here. You can see what’s going on. We’re now going through that series of uh sketchy roundabouts 
here. So, one rider out front. And this is what I thought because when I’m watching the video 
play here, it’s Abramson that was off the front.   Albani was falling back. Um, and they kept saying 
Albani was out front. So, don’t totally trust the tracker. I’m trying to watch two things at once 
here and figure it out. And my gut was telling me   it was Abramson, he’s probably going to be caught. 
Uh, all depends how hard they drive on this front. Jay say neither Milan nor are going to win the 
stage. I’d say, but the Pelaton is closing with 15 kilometers left. Okay, bit old. On the other 
hand, the road has some hiccups and it’s raining.   Who knows? Yeah, this could be in anyone’s stage. 
Uh Jr. from Lafia, totally agreed. In the end, it’s all about the heritage sports unites. Corti 
Van roasted. Yes, dude. You’re right. Today, uh Cortasi says everyone gets roasted. Uh dude, 
I’m feeling roasted right now. As in a roasted coffee. How’ you guys like that? And I won’t 
be getting my third coffee today because we are running out of time today. Shorter stage 
today, guys. And yeah, it is your So yeah, sometimes I got to go sometimes you got to go with 
your gut, guys. You know when you say you hear   that saying go with your gut. I was convinced 
it was Abraham Simmer front. I’m watching a slightly delayed feed, but he’s off the front. 
He attacked Albani was second. Pache and can’t remember the other riders’s name right now. They 
were falling back. It kept saying Albani was at   the front. I’m like, where’s Abrahamson? There’s 
no way he’s back in the pelon. He was out front the whole time. Now Pache here. Uh Pache through 
the pelon straight out the back. He’s done. Done for the day. Couple of Alpison riders getting at 
the front here. Uh Israel Premier Techch looking uh very present at the front trying to call 
through the Tudtor riders. It’s either Israel   or Groupama from here. They both have kind of the 
same color jerseys. a lot of blue and purpley red on them. Let’s see what they’re saying here. 
Average speed now and it’s slowly creeping up, guys. It’s not going to be mindblowing. 46.4 
right now. Looks a lot colder than 20°, I’ll tell you that. 5.6K to go again. So, I’m looks 
like here, guys. 5.6 here. I’m at 6.1 here. So, I’m 600 m behind. As soon as we get close, 
I’m going to tell you how I see it at the end. Robert saying at uh at 5K the GC teams will 
all drift to the back and Robert’s going for Benny now. I’m still cheering for Abramson at the 
front here. He’s still out there by himself. He’s done it before. Uh did a solo while he was with 
Marorrow Schmidt all the way to the finish. Pogy lurking in the front for an attack. That’s coming 
from Wade. Oh, okay. So, yeah, Richard says, “Okay, this is a good point.” Richard, Richard, 
I don’t know if you’ve ever commented before,   uh, but Richard Corgi, welcome aboard. Looks like 
there is zone protection at five. Okay. Hey guys, that’s why I’m hearing what, uh, someone else 
said later. I think the, uh, Robert said the   big teams will disappear at 5K, which is now 
uh, we’re at 4.5. Zone protection means uh, if you were to crash and you’re sitting 
on the side of the road, they’re going to   give you the same time as the finishing bunch 
uh, because they know it’s super sketchier. And oh, I see what’s going on here. Okay, 
gotcha. So, basically, they just want to get to the protection zone and then finish with 
the bunch. So, that’s why Robert says at 5K, the GC teams will all drift back because there’s 
a 5k protection zone today. Probably based on the   weather. And Richard saying again, zone protection 
in play. Yeah, good points, guys. These guys know they’re cycling. Uh, Uncle Matty, the GCS will 
want to be in the front for that corner. Um, yeah, it depends how the Pelon is. If it’s a huge 
bunch, they’re just going to start drifting. Uh   sprinters need to be in that corner if they want 
to win today. So yeah, Abrahamson has been caught now. He’s just been caught and we’re seeing it 
here. Uh his little lead out front is gone. I’m going to jump to this tracking, guys, just so I 
don’t see who the winner is right away. So I’ll probably be like 30 seconds behind uh here pretty 
soon. Tudor’s pushing really hard on the front. They’ve got three roundabouts to get 
through. Are they roundabouts? Yeah,   you can see them here on the map. I’m going to 
keep you on this feed here. Riders out the back. Who’s that? Time and Eronsman saying enough for 
today. Guys done really well in the climbs. Uh, three roundabouts still to go 
through. Roads are super wet. Uh, Julius Abe is saying Abe. Yeah. So, Don’s 
correct. Yeah, Don. I I was trying to figure that out. I was saying too. Pogy most of his time 
on the second time trial and the autocom stages,   but he has not cancelled conceded one second to 
Yonas the entire tour. I agree. Yonas. Yeah. So, when we look back when Pogy wins, it’s going to 
be the Hodicon tour. That’s where T where Yonas really cracked. Remember Jonathan attacked 
and then UNOX guys congratulating Abramson for staying away so long. He’s going 
to coast out the back now. But yeah,   it was the autocom where Jonathan attacked, Pogy 
went. It’s funny cuz afterwards he’s saying, “I didn’t really expect that.” He said, “We were 
kind of joking about it.” And I thought, “Okay,   I got to go now.” And soon as Jonathan pulled off, 
Yonas pulled off. He was done. Uh the time trial, Yonas only lost 36 seconds to Pogy, but no 
doubt that was 36 seconds. Tatty won that easy. the majority of it was in the hotcom. So that’s 
where you know if I was say where did he win it hotcom stage he won it for sure. Um Uncle Matty I 
wonder Benign will be there. I kind of expect to see him early but he has had a hard time. Yeah 
we’ll watch. I don’t see any intermares at the   front right now. So who is this out the back 
here? Looks like Morris still time and Aaron’s been back here. He’s content just float. He’s 
got some big days in the mountains coming up.   They’re getting through all those there. I want 
to see if there’s been any crashes. We’re in the sprint zone. So, Abrahamson got caught at four 
kilometers to go. Going to jump back to the map here and I’m going to follow from the map, guys. 
I’m not going to get away from this now. We’re   finishing in Valenc today. Super hard left corner 
coming up. I haven’t seen any more crashes. Milan and Merly are about 20 to 30 riders back. So, it’s 
saying I’m 1.8 8 km out right now. So, just so you guys know where I am compared to the finish. 
Going to read through this chat here again. Shadow Blood Pirate, who’s the favorite to win 
right now? Who’s in front? Might have a hedge   in my wager if it merely go to win at 5 win 5K. 
Uh fastest sprinter in this group is Jonathan Milan. Hands down. Uh can he stay upright? Sudal 
has been working super hard for Merlier on the front. I don’t see any signs of intermareteer 
here. Like not one white yellow jersey. Uh it’s all helicopter view now. No motorbikes 
are near them right now. It seems probably I wonder if they call the motorbikes away on these 
sketchy uh rainy stages. Uh they might get really involved with the Pelon. They’ve taken that hard 
left corner now already at the finish. So guys,   I’m going to look here. I don’t want to see 
what’s going on over there. I will. I’m one kilometer to go now. And there’s a crash right at 
the 1 kmter barrier. Uh, and I’m going to say big crash here compared to what the other commentators 
say. I think maybe 10 riders got through. Guys,   whoever you thought was going to run probably just 
thrown out the window now. Jonathan Milan was one of the ones that survived. He survived that crash. 
He was right at the front. So, there’s maybe I’m going to say 12 to 15 riders. Uh, this is going 
to totally turn everything upside down today. Uh, Jonathan Milan does not have a leadout 
guy. It looks like Arca B&B’s on the front.   Uh maybe Dathlon. Their jerseys are getting 
uh wet and grimy so some of the colors are going. There’s a Red Bull guy up there, too. 
Jonathan Milan sitting in fourth wheel here. 57k an hour. 59k an hour. Jonathan Milan 
in third place. They’re only 3 hours and 20 minutes. Jonathan Milan moving to the left 
side. Getting himself now. He attacks with full   force. Go guys. Just goes right by them. Super 
assault here by Jonathan Milan. 70k an hour sprint. And there was a Red Bull rider right 
there with him. That was awesome, guys. Now, I’m going to jump back here and see what they’re 
going to say. Stage man, it was Jordie Muse there. Jordie Muer. That guy was riding super hard there. 
He Their blue shorts really stand out well there. Big crash there, guys. Big crash. I don’t know 
who went down. It was right at the 1 km barrier. Okay. Uh, so let me just catch up here guys. So, 
Jonathan Milan won. He’s the fastest guy out there right now. Uh, Vingo is also at the front. That’s 
from Paul. Paul looks like his first comment here. Paul Shreenan. That was a few minutes ago, guys. 
That was 5 minutes back. Uh, Marcelo was asking from earlier. I think I did say uh Jonathan and he 
did, but the crash kind of threw that whole sprint out the window, guys. Jonathan Milan, smart guy, 
savvy sprinter at the very front before that last corner at the kilometer mark even. Um, and there 
were so many riders down on the road. I’m going to say at least 20 people went down and it just 
delayed everyone behind them. So, it would be good to see a replay of that. Uh, how held up the uh, 
Pelton was. Yep. Here’s our new commenter at 9:13. Juice desirable crash. Yeah, there was a crash 
right at one colon rear. I see Bingium on the   side of the road here, guys. I think he’s parked 
on the side of the road. I can’t tell yet. Uh I don’t know where we are. I think we’re on the side 
of the road. Ooh, they’re looking at another rider here. Uh mostly blue. This might be a Groupama 
rider. So it it happened right at the 1k barrier. Everyone just went down. Probably a Okay, so 
they’re showing the sprint again. Jonathan Alama in third. He just accelerates. Jordi Muse 
is ahead of him. He gets on Jord’s shoulder and goes. Jordy kind of gets trapped behind two him 
and another rider boxed in by looks like an Arca B&B rider. Yeah. And the uh the Picnic Post rider 
did a good job there, too. Uh this dude here, Lond Anderson. So, I can’t tell where Bingham is right 
now. I don’t know if he’s down on the side of the   road or because that final barrier has continental 
signs all the way down the road from 1 kilometer out. They’re at the finish and they’re at right 
where the crash was, too. Yeah, big crash. Uh, Robert here saying, “Haven’t heard Dylan 
Groin’s name in months until now.” Yeah,   he’s I’ve seen him only maybe two times this 
entire tour. Milan wins. Yep. Milan win makes all that Quinn Simmons totally worth it. What a great 
team win. Exactly. Uh Quinn’s part of these wins. watching Jonathan Milan right now run over, start 
hugging all the Trek riders. Uh, this is one of the probably the last day that Jonathan will be 
anywhere near the front or on the podium except   for his jersey at the end of the day. He really is 
the fastest guy in the world right now. And guys, this kind of happens. Last year, it was Bingham. 
Bingham won three stages last year. Everyone’s just trickling in now. Uh, they’ll probably just 
give this one big bunch time, I would imagine, since they all crashed at 1 kilometer there. I 
think that’s how they do it. Or maybe the front guys will get their wins and like the front 12 
or 15. And honestly, I don’t think 15 riders made it through that crash. Uh, that would 
be the high end of what I’m predicting. So,   I think this is a replay here of the crash and 
it happens right at the 1 kilometer barrier. I’m trying to see it now. Looks like they just 
touched. It was a rider that went down to the   paint in the middle. Riders are hitting the 
barriers on the side of the road right at the 1 kmter. They all pile up and then everyone has 
to stop behind them. Guys are slowly filtering through on the left hand side. Yonas in a pretty 
good position there. Filters through on the left   hand side pretty quickly. The right hand side 
is completely blocked. Quinn Simmons did his job today. Mullet rocking. Uh just crossing the 
finish line now. He hasn’t even hit the finish   line yet with another Trek rider. Bahrain. 
Uh Tom Scoins is there for Lafia. Bingium. Uh he’s nursing his right arm, guys. Right 
arm. He’s nursing his right arms and looks   like his shorts are torn apart. So Bingum has 
not hit the finish yet. So hopefully he’s okay, guys. The crashes are exciting, but I don’t want 
to see guys hurt. Uh we never want to see that. Okay. So yeah. Okay. So Robert is saying 
it. So yeah, I wasn’t sure for sure.   He’s got two interar uh riders with him. 
One guy’s holding a seat pushing him. Trex cheering in the background. Tom Scoins and 
the other Trek rider are both pointing at   Quinn Simmons saying he’s the man. He’s the man. 
Quinn Simmons is the man. Uh it’s all teamwork, guys. It’s all teamwork. Benny’s hurt in the 
crash. He’s still down. He’s up now. I think   he’s just crossed the finish. Um he’s nursing 
his right arm. He’s keeping his right arm close to him, so we don’t know yet. Uh Mark Lane, 
dude, you’re brand new here, dude. Welcome aboard. 20 crashing at 50 plus an hour. How 
beaten up are these guys? Uh pretty beaten up,   actually. Benny’s just getting to the finish now. 
I’m looking at uh Groupama guy here. His left side of his shorts are shredded. Uh I don’t know 
who that was. Bing’s not even pedaling anymore, guys. He’s crossed the finish line. Uh 
really cool to see his teammates with him. This looks like actually I don’t know who this 
is. He’s already got patched up elbow. His shorts are blown open on the left hand side. And now 
that might have been from earlier. Hard to tell cuz he’s bandage. He’s got bandages stuffed in his 
shorts. So I don’t know if they quickly threw that   on at the crash or was that from earlier today. 
Either way, this guy’s had a rough day today. Uh Cole Kane back again. Thanks for the great 
commentary, Colin. See you tomorrow. Cole,   hope you’re loving life in Saudi Arabia. Uh 
getting some wells drilled. Cole, you still haven’t told me what end of uh oil and gas you’re 
in. Um maybe it’s just production. Who knows? Uh yeah, dude. They might have been going more than 
50k an hour there. So Mark Lane saying they’re   crashing at 50k. They might have been doing 60 
at that point. We don’t know. So ballerini. Okay, so it was the red rider was Arnold 
Dele. Sometimes from a distance, guys,   it’s hard to tell. They’re mostly in red for 
Lotto. So, he’s done really well at this tour, too. Really good sprinter. Doesn’t have 
the team behind him to uh get the sprint   wins. Ballerini was there for uh 
I think it’s Estana. Estana XRG. Uncle Matty, I called Milan. My record is six 
right out of 17. Nice job, Maddie. Uh Don’s hoping Bing’s okay. Me, too. Phil Thomas. Uh, Phil, you 
look like you just commented for a new first time as well. Thanks so much. Yeah, really strong Ren. 
And you know what’s crazy, too? This sprint finish by Jonathan Milan, he’s not holding back. He’s not 
afraid to crash. Uh, no fear in this guy. Like, he’s got a pretty violent explosive effort. He’s a 
real head bobber. Um, his bike is probably sliding everywhere. So Arnold Dei kind of came up on 
the left hand side and that kind of trapped uh Jordy Muer for a little bit. Arnold faded, 
gave enough room and really good sprint here, guys, too. No one’s like trying to force people 
in weird directions. Very safe sprint uh in very dangerous conditions. Uh Robert again, yeah. Yeah, 
sure. You see all concerned about safety, but run a full pelaton through a narrow pitch point at 1 
km. making news about handlebars and said, “Yeah,   dude. I know.” Uh, maybe they should have thought 
about that sprint finish before the stage started. Um, I guess it’s hard to predict the weather, 
but then again, they probably had four hours to figure something else out. Maybe they could 
have backed up the finish by a kilometer. Uh,   yeah, and then the fans get mad. Yeah, it’s it’s 
hard to do. Uh, but I hear what you’re saying, uh, Dawn here. I know. Oh, no. I bet Benny has a 
broken collarbone. No bueno. Yeah, the way he’s holding it, it’s the sign that he’s got a broken 
collarbone. Uh maybe he just smashed it really bad and he’s just being paranoid about it like I 
would be too. They all kind of pull Alfie did it a couple days ago with his left arm. He was pulling 
his left arm in the same way. Uh and he was okay. So, let’s hope Benny’s good. Uh Milan is making 
a strong run for Green and Paris. Going for it, guys. Why don’t we take a look at that right now? 
So Jonathan Milan right now has 312 points. So got the intermediate well he got best of points in 
the intermediate sprint and got his 50 points today. Uh the only way person that’s going to 
take it from him is Tatty. If Tatty gets green jersey points on those climbs that Jonathan Milan 
won’t be around for looking forward to chatting in tomorrow. You tooard come back. Uh jump in early 
and we’ll get her started. I think tomorrow guys is an early start. Yeah, tomorrow I start at 4:10 
a.m. So, yeah, hopefully we get uh people jumping early and it’s 3 HC’s. Uh, it’s really tomorrow. 
Are you kidding me? Is tomorrow Thursday already? What the I’ve lost track of all reality guys 
doing this. I’m I’m so involved in the tour of France right now. Uh, fresh roads throughout all 
the safety changes. Exactly. So, guys, incredible stuff. So, no changes in the uh the GC standings. 
Uh Jonathan Milan, another straight uh great stage victory for Lead Alrech. Uh watching Bingham ride 
away to the bus. He is using both arms here. So, he’s probably just really scuffed up, guys. I 
don’t think anything’s broken. I don’t think   it is. His back is his jerseys all ratched up. Uh 
I think they’re going to have a good look at him. Maybe he’ll go for X-rays, but he did ride to 
his bus with both hands on the handlebars. So, I think it was more of just a an initial shock of 
hitting the ground. Yes, Fred, you’re 100% right, Fred. Uh Fred says, “Get the coffee ready.” 
Uh, love everyone being here. Get coffee ready. Thanks, Colin. Yeah, dude. I forgot to do that 
this morning. Uh, I’m at the point now where   I’m so committed to this. I’m making coffee the 
night before. So, hey, Robert. Dude, thanks for supporting the channel so much. You’re like one of 
the number one dudes here. You’re here every day.   And to everyone that’s here to the new people, I’m 
seeing new people every day. Joey Jojo asked me, “Well, did you see new people today?” I’m like, 
“Every day there’s new people here.” So again,   guys, thank you so much. It’s going to get even 
huger tomorrow. You cannot miss tomorrow’s stage of the tour to France. It’s if you got 
if you got to pick one more day to watch,   it’s tomorrow. Uh and then Friday is like a 1B. 
Uh so tomorrow is an HC plus in my world and then Friday is an HC stage. Like the hardest 
stages at the Tour to France uh are tomorrow and Friday. At the end of Friday I’ll we’ll be 
all be able to say yeah we know who the winner of the tour to France is now. Uh it’s very much 
leaning towards Pogy right now. Uh but we still got two days to go. So you’re saying there’s a 
chance. Uh thanks for watching everyone. I’ll see you again real soon. Gonna get started 
with my day. He going to hit the bike and uh
