🏔️ Stage 18 – Queen Stage: Vif → Courchevel (Col de la Loze)**
📅 Date:** Thursday, July 24, 2025
⏱ Start:** ~12:10 CEST
📏 Distance:** 171.5 km
🔝 Total elevation gain:** ~5 450–5 500 m (three HC climbs)

Route overview:**
* Neutralized start in Vif, then racing begins on rolling roads.
* **Intermediate sprint @ Rioupéroux** (~km 23.7)
* **Col du Glandon** (HC): ~21.7 km @ ~5.1 %, summit around km 62
* Descend into Maurienne valley, then **Col de la Madeleine** (HC): ~19.2 km @ ~7.9 %, summit ~km 104–105
* Long descent, final assault on **Col de la Loze** (HC): ~26.4 km @ ~6.5 %, summit finish at 2 304 m (highest point, Souvenir Henri Desgrange) (

📌 Key climbs:**
* **Col du Glandon** (HC)
* **Col de la Madeleine** (HC)
* **Col de la Loze** (HC, summit finish, 2 304 m) — brutal final kilometres with ramps over 10 %

🎯 General Classification battle:**
* **Tadej Pogačar** leads by ~4′15″ over **Jonas Vingegaard**. He’s mentally strong after Mont Ventoux and aims to assert dominance on Loze
* **Vingegaard** must attack to claw back time, seen ramping up on Ventoux; this is his final big chance
🔍 Tactical notes:**
* Queen stage – GC contenders will go all-in on the climbs.
* Three HC ascents make it one of the hardest days: ~5,500 m climbing
* Intermediate sprint offers minor intrigue but focus is on GC.
* Time bonuses for stage wins (10‑6‑4 sec) could nudge GC margins

🔥 What’s at stake:**
* Pogačar could cement his 4th TDF title if he survives unscathed.
* Vingegaard needs a career-defining assault to turn the tide.
* All eyes on whether Pogačar can avenge his 2023 collapse on the Loze

one stage 18 2025 tour to France. Let’s rock, folks. Let’s rock. Uh guys, here we are. 
Queen stage tour to France. It’s on. Uh just got some news here too quickly that 
Carlos Rodriguez, who was in 10th place, Yeah, Carlos Rodriguez, 10th place overall at the 
Tour to France, will not be in the stage today.   Uh they went down in that crash, I believe, at 
the 1 kmter to go yesterday. Uh I’m just going to take a look at a few things here, guys. Wow, 
it’s early. 10 after 4 in the morning for me, guys. Uh okay, let’s get this chat opened 
up. Let’s get this baby opened up. Turn that down a little bit. Check some levels here. 
Super pro action over here, folks. Yeah, guys. Stage 18 2025 tour to France. uh VIF uh 
new start town for us. I just read this morning that we’re in the neutralized start right now. Uh 
short neutralized start today. None of these 15 km ones like we’ve seen before. So what I want 
to do is just have a little quick peek here, guys. Um it’s actually not showing up as well 
because we’re not at the the start. The VIF is the actual start. Uh the neutralized start will 
be before that. Uh so once we get through there, but take a look at today guys just on the profile 
here. We got the call to Glond doll HC above category ors category uh called to mataline HC 
and then we’ve got the korchal cello. Uh I’ve seen lots of comments this morning already. 
Uh Yonas was saying this will be probably the toughest day ever of the tour to France. Now I 
think it’s on the cold lots last time we did it. This is where Pogy had a little bit of troubles 
last time. So, how is he holding up? What’s gonna happen today? Is it a surefire thing for Pogy or 
are we gonna see fireworks go off, folks? First   guy in Doug Sanders. Boom. Number one, Doug. 
There you go, dude. There you go. We got the early risers here. Uh, let’s People are jumping 
in now, guys. People are jumping in. Let’s take a look at the profile here. Yeah. So, right here, 
Carlos Rodriguez and Sel Bar won’t start. Um, so it looks like they had injuries yesterday 
when they at the one kilometer mark there was that big pile up at one kilometer. Ooh. Uh, just 
reading further here. As for the Spanish climber, Inos Grenadier says hospital scans have 
confirmed a fracture of the pelvis. So, he’s in good spirits. Uh, going to take a while 
to recover. He was top 10. Uh, him and Ben were flip-flopping between ninth and 10th place. 
Uh, and check this out. I did look this up a   couple days ago, too. Uh, he was fifth in 2023, 
seventh in 2024. This guy is the real deal. Uh, and now he’s sitting on the sidelines. Uh, which 
is very unfortunate. Fred Vice is back again. Hey, Fred. Good to see you. Uh, yeah, it’s going to 
be a tough one today, guys. Tough one today. Uh, so looking forward to this. Just going to go 
through a few things here. Uh, yeah. Where was   it from Yonas? There’s Ben Healey from Yonas. 
Today will probably be one of the hardest tour to France stages that we will ever see. We’re in 
for a good stage. So, let’s hope Vizma can take the action to Pogy today. Uh, will Pogy be able to 
hold off all the attacks? I’m so looking forward to this stage today, folks. Bounce back here. Uh, 
no. That’s not what I want to do. Let’s take a look at the map. Well, let’s do the profile first. 
Still got a little time before the stage start. Uh, as you can see here, we start in VIF. 
It’s the first time we’ve ever started in   this town. We got a sprint point at just under 
24 km here. Uh, 23.7 km at a word I’m not even going to try to pronounce right now. Uh, that’s 
our sprint point. So, Jonathan Milan’s going to   try to sweep up another 20 points there and then 
just go into survival mode. He’ll be like, “Okay, here’s my 70k an hour sprint. Now, I’m just gonna 
ride for another four hours after this.” Uh, just full disclosure, too. Let’s fingers crossed we 
survived the Starlink reset. Will it go off today? I don’t know. Uh I have seen once before I always 
get up early. Maybe not 3:00 in the morning early. Uh where it happened I think three days straight 
every day just around 5. Off off. Uh so if it happens just hang out and uh we’ll get her going 
again. Don, good morning dudes. Uh Fred saying, “I watched the replay of the stage and could not 
make out how close or far away Pogy was from the   uh late crash. Any thoughts?” Uh I didn’t see him 
in it at all. Gon I did see Yonas go through quite quickly though. Uh so like I would call that a 
big crash, you know, like a lot of guys went down. I’d say five or six, seven, eight guys hit the 
ground. Uh and you can see I watched the replay this morning too and you can see right where Bing 
was sitting. He sat there for a long time. Uh but like afterwards I saw when he went back when he 
rode his bike back to the team bus, he was riding   both hands on the uh the hoods of his bike. So I’m 
like, “Okay, he’s got to be fine.” He was probably just really freaked out. He probably impacted 
it hard. Uh I’m pretty sure before the end of   the video, I said yesterday that he looks fine. 
Obviously, he’s beat up, but yeah, this schedule here, uh, I mean, this profile here, these three 
HC’s, it’s this last climb that has been, I guess, uh, a little bit of a pain in the butt for Pogy 
in the past, the call to the Lot. I think they’ve only been riding it for maybe six, seven years. 
It’s a climb that’s only been put together kind of   recently. Taking a look at the map here. Wanted 
to show you guys some stuff here on the map, which I thought was uh, cool. If I can find 
it again. Yeah, right there. So, here’s VIF, the town of Viff. Still in the neutralized start. 
It’s probably going to get ready to kick off   pretty quick. Hit the sprint point early. Start 
winding our way around here. Uh, we come up the call to Glond. This is the Grand Mason, I think 
it’s called. Uh, there’s a huge there’s a huge dam there. You can actually ride across that dam, 
I think. Yeah, there’s a run across there. So,   you’re going to see that. There’s the call 
to glandon on the other side of the dam. So, you’re going to know where we’re going once we 
pass that dam there. But we’ll be climbing all   the way. Uh then the call to malign here and 
we’re going to finish up at the call to lo and it’s like a crazy climb up to the top winding 
through villages and ski stations. Just scoping around this morning, guys. Just so you know where 
we are in the world. I mean, you guys know, but   I’m like zooming in this morning. I’m like, “Okay, 
what’s this? Okay, there’s another dam here. Yeah, there’s another dam here. I just noticed that, 
too. Actually, we go right up it. Take a look   at that. That’s really cool. We go through the 
little town. Uh, guys, I wonder how big of a dam that is. Why would you have a town right here? 
Why would you have a town right here? Anyways, we’ll get to that. Uh, just zooming in and zooming 
out a little bit. If you were to hang a right at this town here and come down the road just a 
little bit. Boom. Look what we got right in front of us here. Do you guys recognize this? Look at 
all these switchbacks here. That’s the Alps right   there. Uh Alz probably finishes it actually. 
I think it finishes up in the town itself. Wow. You could actually do it two different 
ways, I guess, to the to the finish. I wonder   if they’ve ever done that. Or does it finish that 
one? I think it finishes this one here. I’m not really sure. But the Alpuzz is right there. Uh 
just over the way here. The call to Gibby is over in this area somewhere. So like we’re just 
winding our way through all the coolest clims and passes at the Tour to France. Let’s hit some 
live action, guys. Actually, let’s take a quick look at this video here. We’ll zoom in on the 
stage. You guys can check it all out. Leaving VIF. We start climbing. Let’s take a look if we 
can see those uh those dams. Okay, there’s going to be one right here. Yeah, there’s a dam there 
at the base of that town. Uh, that’s lurking over   top of the town. That’s one of them. Here’s the 
second one. We skirt around the edge of it. I think that’s called the Grand Mesa. Over the call 
to Glendal, back down to the valley system. Let’s go all the way back down. Start the call to Meline 
here. Yeah, that looks like fun, doesn’t it? 2,000 meters elevation. Go racing back down the other 
side. Get as low as we possibly can. Race along the valleys. big sprinters trying to catch back 
on here every day. Then we start to call the lows. Look at this climb here. It’s everywhere. 
And it’s like, could we get any higher? I mean, I’m sure if there’s a road, they would have 
went to that little higher peak over there. So, that’s where we’re heading, folks. We’re heading 
there today. Let me jump out of here. Just going to back out of that and we’ll just go to 
the route right now and we’ll get into it. We’re going live, folks. Going live. Notice that 
my feed from uh Flow Bikes over here is quite crappy. Just everything’s really pixelated. So, 
I’ll do the best I can over here. Uh race is on, guys. Race is on. 170.8 kilometers are amazing. We 
are just started now. 22 degrees. Uh weather will be significant in today’s race. Let me get back 
into my awesome chat I have going on here, guys. Uh, Robert’s in the mix now. Good morning. Been 
waiting for the stage for hours. Crush it today,   Colin. Yes, dude. Let’s go. I’d love for this 
stream to be like my biggest stream ever. Uh, guys, I’m, you know, I’ve said it before, let’s 
say it again. I’m here off of the chat. I love the chat. I love the interaction in the chat. 
I think that’s something I’m doing right. Uh,   the likes are It’s not like I go at the end of 
every day and go, “Oh, yeah. I got this many likes.” And pat myself on the back. That’s just 
for YouTube. That’s so other people can find us   and join us in the chat because we’re seeing 
new people every day. Uh just checking the mic here quickly. Uh and even the views, it’s 
not like my life revolves around the views, but it’s obviously an indicator that people are 
checking us out, coming on in. Anna’s in the mix,   too. Hello, everyone. Exciting day. Uh no poll up 
yet. If someone wants to uh do a poll, that would be great, guys. Spent a lot of time yesterday uh 
women’s cycling. I’m fully into it. Uh there’s so much great content on YouTube. You can learn 
about all the riders. Uh looks like a really   course this year. I don’t know if it’s as hard 
as last year, but uh yeah, yellow jersey tatty, green jersey, Jonathan Milan. Now Jonathan needs 
to sweep up these 20 points early. Okay, they’re going to make me do a little Google thing. Here we 
go. And now you got me where I don’t want to be. Okay, we’re back. So, looks like everyone’s 
sticking together right now. No one’s trying to get off the front yet. Um, I think this might be 
kind of a little bit of a slower start. All those things average speed right now is already 56k an 
hour. They all know this is the hardest g day, guys. This is three HC category climbs, horse 
category climbs. Uh, it’s going to be a long day for some riders. Going to be a very long day. Why 
don’t we do this too whilst we’re here? Oh yeah. Uh Oscar was saying he’s going to have to be very 
patient. I’m not in a position to go up front,   so I’ll have to be patient today. I think 
what he’s saying is I don’t really have a team built for me. Uh so I’m going to have to 
get up there and just defend my position. I I am seeing Tom Scoins from Latvia sitting right 
on the front right away. Uh four or five Trek   riders. They are going to have to control 
this early pace. It’s their job to do that. So, we should be seeing Trek up front and then 
after that I think they’re just going to kind of vanish today unless Quinn Simmons decides he’s 
going to go on a four or five hour breakaway. So, the weather uh it’s sunny here. They’re expecting 
storms at the uh called deotes. So, I got to think about this. So, it’s the afternoon there. Yeah, 
makes sense. It’s probably the same as here.   You might have a nice clear blue sky day and 
at the end of the day the the big storm clouds start bubbling up and then storms can hit 
anywhere. Uh here’s Primos. It’s just going to be a fight for for each rider to get to the 
finish today. And we’re off, folks. We are off. Just a little thing from X here. What are we 
looking at? Just the departure. Poggy looking good. Pogy still got that arm bandaged up. I just 
noticed that now. The slight adjustment there. I love that green jersey there just coasting along 
be behind the tour director’s car. So that would have been a few minutes back. Okay guys, uh let’s 
read this. Tatty Pagashar having some little bumps around here. Tatty Tai, I’ve heard everyone say 
it differently. Faces the Calotes for the third time in his career, but the first is the leader of 
the overall standings. On both previous occasions, he lost time to the wearer of the Mayojan. Will he 
dominate today? On the other hand, his main rival, Yonas Vindingo, 415 back, says he’s ready to do 
everything to turn the tables in the Alps. Uh, so guys, we’ll see what’s going to 
happen today. We will see. Obviously,   Trek’s going to sit on the front here today and 
try to control this. Look at the live tracking. I think I’ve got the call to Glendon pulled up um 
over on Clinfinder. Pretty sure about that. So, there’s Ve uh had this founder. Oh, there 
we are. Yeah, this is just crazy to me when I look at this, guys. I just want to show you 
this map over here. Let’s make sure that’s on. That one there. Yeah, it could be that one there. 
Yeah, there we go. Let’s turn this one off. Oh, this one’s not turning on for some reason. We just 
turn this back on for a quick second, guys. I got   to get this working here. It’s not that one. 
I thought that would work. Here we go. Okay, guys. Uh, this is over on ClimbFinder. Great app. 
Check it out. I’m seeing the black screen now on my mind here. So, we start down here in VF on the 
far left hand side of the screen. We’re going to   work our way around through here and then we start 
trucking up through this valley system right here. We can zoom in a little bit here on these maps. 
These maps are incredible, guys. And again, this probably shows it better than before. Here’s that 
town that’s at the base of that little dam. Like, take a look at this. This must be very shallow 
or I don’t know. And that that’s actually part of the call to quality affair. Uh that’s 
going to take off in a different direction.   Um, I’d have to discover that. I think it might 
be that one there. I’d have to take a look at that one. But we’re going to be heading up this 
way, cruising around that valley system there,   past this dam here, which is called looks like 
the Lac Grand Mason. Uh, that’s the Glen Dawn up there. So, you’re going to know where you are 
there. And again, take a look at this cool stuff   here on this mapping package. If you’re into 
mapping packages or cycling, take a look at the town right here. We go right by it. How far 
are we from it? Let me close that down. Wow. The one thing they don’t have is like a distance 
tool. But you can see here we’re going down this road here. If you were to hang a right, you 
could start the Altoz right there. What’s crazy, too, is the Alps is only rated at 994. Uh the 
Glandon. Okay, that’s the quad affair there. Okay, so we got to go over here to the Glandon. uh 1175. 
So significantly harder than the Alpuets. Both are HC’s. Altoz is just way more famous. Jump back 
into this section here and we can catch up with the race, guys. We should be catching up with 
the race. Uh what have I done here? Okay, kind of messed this up, guys. Okay, here we go. We’re 
back. And I will get back here. Here’s our group right now. It’s all going to be sticking together. 
It’s only 24 kilometers to the first sprint point.   Uh there is sprint points available at the end 
of the stage too. We can see that over here. Let’s take a look at the sporting stakes as they 
like to call it. Go to the Corservel stage here and we’ll come down. Sporting stakes. Let’s take 
a look. We’ve got 20 points available at Ryu Peru. It’s a hard name to say there at sprint points 
called the glandon is 20 points for HC climb call to maline same thing 20 uh called the de lootes uh 
it’s a 40 point I think they usually double up the uh HC summit finish uh the souvenir Henry Degrange 
too Henry Degrange founder of the tour to France in 1903 there’s actually 20 green jersey points 
available up there too so someone’s going to be going for that probably a climber Um, jump in the 
chat here, guys. Seeing how my camera’s working. There you are. This is me actually looking at 
the camera for one of the very few times today,   guys. I know I’m terrible at it. That camera 
is kind of like it’s up above my monitor. Uh, well, the three monitors. I have like a 
layering of monitors. I got a little monitor,   another monitor, and a big monitor here. 
It’s up above it. I’m thinking I’m going to move it over there. Maybe more at like 
face level and maybe it’ll help out a bit. Uh Fred Rice, first like let’s go 70 watching, 
guys. It’s going to slowly percolate up. I’m sure we’re going to see 600 700 people watching 
later today. Depending. It’s coming to the end   of the tour. This is probably going to be the 
best stage of the tour right here. Uh tomorrow will be like maybe one slight notch down, 
but not much. It’s these final two days. Uh, I know a lot of people are like, “Pogy’s 
already won.” I’m like, “Let’s get through   these two days.” At the end of tomorrow, 
that’s when I’ll be like, “Yep, Pogy won. It’s Poggy’s to lose right now. Yonas needs to 
go on the attack when Pogy looks weak. Yonas needs to have a strong team.” Uh, so thanks, 
uh, Fred Vice. I told him that would be his new name. Oliver Marichek, hello from the board 
of Croatia and Slovenia. Oh, he’s right in the   mountains. He’s training right now. Could 
have the new Pogy here in the background, guys. Uh Dawn’s watching from New Jersey. Oh, good 
dudes, too. Yeah. Um I got to do something here. I want to do this. So much support yesterday, 
guys. Um I forgot to set this up. Excuse me. It’s uh very early in the morning. So, I’m going 
to just do this over on the side monitor here. Okay. Um, wow. Yesterday was just nuts 
here. Where did we start yesterday? It was a big day, guys. I think this is all 
yesterday. I don’t I don’t even know, guys. What What date is it? I don’t even know what day 
it is anymore. I’ve lost track of my minds. Uh,   so I think this is all the Is it the 23rd? It’s 
the 24th today. Uh, so guys, I just want to give a special shout out to people that uh, you know, 
gave me a little extra push. Uh, they’re they’re helping me draft my channel a bit harder, 
let’s put it that way. Neil, uh, from Bolton,   uh, the Muckers Worldwide, one of the Bolton boys. 
Uh, Andrew Moss from Upgrade Your Mind. Thank you so much, dude. Bike Terra, Bike Terra, we’re 
going to see that later in the stage, guys. Uh,   I’ll try to use on the climbs. Bike Terra, uh, 
giving me support over here on the channel, too, dudes. Love it. Matt Anslow, thank you so much. 
Mike D. Ro, Hang Grenade Division, guys. Check out his channel if you’re into World War II history. 
R. Stanley coming through again for the channel.   Dude, thank you so much. Actually, R. Stanley did 
it again. He slipped his finger and contributed twice yesterday. Dude, you’re doing too much. 
Uh, Robert came through again. Thank you so much, Robert. Robert wants me to get on the protein 
shakes. That’s what he said here. I did see that yesterday. and Morton Johansson, that’s 
the guy from Sweden yesterday, I believe. Uh, he said he was in the middle of Sweden in a 
place called Asker Sunund, I think it was. So,   dudes, thank you so much. Uh, Inside Cycling 
World loves it. So, back to the race, guys. Just like a little thing I I want to do. Uh, looks 
like we are just under 13 km to the sprint point. This will be probably fairly chill, I think, until 
the sprint point, then it’s going to heat up. Uh,   it’s kind of a point where I think most teams 
are thinking, well, it’s Trex’s job. Trex’s going to lead us out. Uh, we’re not fighting for 
the points. Bingham did crash yesterday and he did sit for quite a while and he was protecting 
his arm. It looked really bad, but in the end,   I don’t think it really was. Uh, yeah, of course, 
I didn’t crash, so it’s easy for me to say that. right here. Leadal strategy for the intermediate 
sprints seems to be accepted by the Pelaton. No   attack support. This is kind of just what I 
said. They’re just going to sit back. I don’t think there’s going to be any breakaway attempts 
until after that sprint point. Everyone knows it’s Jonathan Milan’s jersey right now. It’s kind of 
accepted. Uh if Bingum was to win everything now, I don’t think he can take the jersey 
away. Like I mean everything. And he   can’t win everything. like there neither 
of those two are going to get the HC points uh jersey points at the end. It’s kind of a 
known now. So, it’s going to be like just a bit of a procession here at the beginning. That’s 
good. So, we can talk about in the chat here. Uh   we’re at 100 people already, guys. Let’s give 
her today. Let’s give her uh So, Fred Vice, by the way, I just saw another good video on 
Pogy nutritional intake. It was by Bikefit. Okay,   dude. I’ll take a look at that. Last night, 
my uh podcast of choice was Inside the Ride uh with Saiy Bradley. It’s basically it’s the My 
Whoosh podcast, guys. And they talked to it was actually the head of performance. I forget his 
name already. And I was falling asleep. Uh so he just talked about all the things they do 
there. It’s I think it’s about an hour long   podcast. So I’m going to have to listen to that 
again today when I go outside and do the chores. uh just goes through all the things they do at 
UAE uh trying to uh increase performance. Okay. Uh let’s back up here. Robert Lewig, hello from 
WV or is that WY? Oh, is that West Virginia? Robert Lewig, are you from West Virginia? I don’t 
know. WV, that’s just my guess. Uh, looks very sunny out. Nice. Yeah, it’s a sunny start to 
the day, but yeah, they’re calling for rain.   They’re saying, actually, sorry guys, I’m stuck on 
there. They’re calling for uh it’s 23 24 degrees down in the valley. Let’s have a quick look at 
that again. Okay, 22 here. Hasn’t probably hit   the peak heat of the day yet. You know, usually 
your peak heat of the day is like 4 or 5:00 in the afternoon with like the temperature lag. Uh 
maybe it’s different in the mountains. They’re saying at the top of the maline, they expect about 
10 degrees Celsius. Uh rain is in the forecast and uh they’re expecting thunderstorms on 
the final climb or storms. Anyways, uh okay, Robert, have the border of Croatia and 
Slovenia pulled up on Google Maps? Geography lesson from Oliver. Oh yeah, dude. I love looking 
at stuff like that. I spent so much of my life   just looking things up. If I if I don’t know 
something, I have to pause whatever I’m watching, grab the phone, start doing a search. Okay. Yeah. 
Oh, got it. Okay, got it. So, like an hour and a half movie might take me two hours to watch. Uh, 
if there’s stuff in there I have no clue about. Uh, this dude here, symbols. Dude, drop a chat. 
Say something in the chat. We’ll know who you are. Uh, poll. Who do you think will win today’s 
stage? uh stage today. Tatty Onus, Jonathan Milan, Van. Yeah, that’s a good one, man. I I wonder if 
people Dude, you know what? Here’s the best one ever. We’ll put Bingham in there, too. I guarantee 
you Bingum will get the most votes. I forgot about that one. I’m trying to keep them fun. I just 
couldn’t think of one. I I had a couple in mind.   And honestly, I think I made supper last 
night and then sat in front of the TV. Oh, I watched the uh Stop at Nothing. Stop at 
Nothing. The Lance, it’s a Lance Armstrong   show. Really good. You can find it on YouTube. Uh 
yeah, stop at Nothing. Uh just like basically he would do anything to win. Like dude, even some of 
the stuff like guys, I didn’t I know the name and I can’t believe I didn’t remember it. It talks 
about how in I think it was ’92 or ’93 where basically he paid a rider off not to race. Like 
so it was um and some of you may have seen it. There was a triple crown event in the states. It 
was the final race and there was a rider there,   Roberto Gagioli and he rode for Kors and I 
think at the time Davis Finny was on that team uh and a few others. So Lance went and talked to 
them and this was the guy and they were all like, “Yeah, okay man, we we won’t attack cuz if you 
won all three races, the crown, the triple crown, uh there was a million dollar bonus.” So Lance is 
like, I’m going to guarantee this. And talk to the one team. It’s all in the video. I’m not making 
any of this up. And then and Roberto Gajioli is in the video like modern day from whenever 
the movie was made. If you guys have seen it,   drop some comments. And I guess this guy had won 
it every year running. He was the man in that in that race. I think it was in Philadelphia. And 
so he said he didn’t want to do it. Lance talked to him. Hey, dude, you’re not going to attack, 
are you? You’re not going to attack, are you?   Uh, and he says, “In my heart and in my head, 
I didn’t want to go along with the plan, but he says,”My whole team had agreed with him. 
Lance wins the race. He’s the superstar. He’s the man of the hour, the first guy to ever do it. 
Gets a million dollar check. He’s up on screen   on the stage with his mom.” And then Gagioli 
says that night, he came to my hotel room with a steel box. Uh, said, “Merry Christmas.” and he 
said there was over $100,000 inside the box. So, like what do you um I don’t think sports betting 
people would like that. Uh that gets you thrown in jail. I don’t know how we got away with that. 
Okay. Uh just traveling on here, guys. So, check that show out, guys. Free to watch on YouTube. 
I think it’s an hour and 50 minutes long. So,   that was my night last night. And uh also oh 
I was watching uh Lavalta feminine as well you know tour to France fe a swift is coming so I 
want to be really up to speed as to what’s going on. Uncle Matty good morning fine sir for the 
record I have Pogy winning today. Yona second. Yeah yep that’s probably most likely what’s going 
to happen. I don’t even think the breakaway guys   are going to want to go for it here. Um, it’s 
going to be one of those days where we’re going to see a lot of heroic attacks by other climbers 
who maybe don’t have the horsepower on their teams to stay away. And then the big superstar climbers, 
Tatty, Yonas, uh, any of the guys in the top six, seven positions, I think, are going to be right 
up there. looking for a good day from Primos just   because he’s the old guy and just because I can’t 
stand when people armchair things and are all saying, “Yeah, he should have retired. He should 
be retired. He’s fifth at the tour to France,   guys.” U keep racing. Keep racing, dude. Uh 
Jakamo Jackamo’s new day here. Milan. Yeah. Yeah. Jackamo is saying Limo. So, I think Jackamo 
is brand new uh viewer here today. Jackamo, let us know where you’re from, dude. Uh if you ride, 
let us know what kind of bike you got. Uh yeah, Don’s just dropping a crazy one in there as a as 
a joke today. He says, “L Milan is a candidate   for this one. It’s hilarious.” Yeah, it is 
hilarious. Don did that on purpose. Um Don saying, “Stages like this is what defines the tour of 
France.” Exactly. I’ve been waiting for this   one all the way. any if you have any slight flaws 
today, you could lose, you know, 10 15 minutes so easily. Uh out the back of the Pelon ra. We have 
10 riders already. Um I’m just going to see what happened here, guys. 10 riders being out at the 
same time. 20 something seconds back. I wonder if   there’s like a little touch of wheels. There’s not 
actually a lot of coverage right now on flow. Uh very high uh helicopter shots at the moment. 
Uh, it’s just saying Le’s at a strong pace, 50k an hour. Looking at Arnold Dele here. Really 
good sprinter. This guy is sitting in 140th position overall right now. Uh, and I think, 
yeah, he was involved in the sprint yesterday. Think he got third place overall. Third or fourth. 
He’s back. He’s way back in the team cars here grabbing bottles right now. Uh, yes. So, Don, 
that’s a very good poll. I like that. But yeah, if we would have put Bingum up there, it would 
have probably gotten 70% of the votes. I like   I guarantee it 100%. Uh, I’m going to be getting 
nervous around 5:00 on uh in case Mr. Musk turns off my Starling for 2 minutes. So, if that 
happen guys, it’ll I’m just going to hang out   and it’ll all come back. Um, then Jo, I know it is 
crazy. Thursday the 24th. Okay, thanks guys. Um, oh, dude. Okay, Robert, fill us in 
there. I don’t remember that. Yeah,   so Robert saying, “Yeah, Milan is a pick is 
kind of silly.” Uh, it was silly on purpose. Uh, but remember when George Henappy won a queen 
stage when the moto ran over a spectator? Dude,   I do not remember that stage. Robert, let us know. Uh, Uncle Matty Colin, could I have a run into 
on a ski hill? You do seem familiar to me. Oh, really? Colin, could I have run into you on a ski 
hill? You do seem familiar to me. I think that’s what you’re saying, dude. I’m never on ski slopes. 
My extent of skiing would be like crosscountry skiing. Uh, I used to love getting out with my 
dog way back when. Just really hard workout. Uh, Jack Mo. Yeah, there’s always a throw option. 
Exactly. Well, I did that one with me yesterday. I made my one my poll really good yesterday. It 
was like who wants to go hill climb training with Pogy. Like that would be the ultimate nightmare 
test. I thought that was like I would I don’t want to go nightmare hill climbing with Pogy. 
Second was do laminate flooring with uh Yonas in   the kitchen. And third third was for me to do more 
live streams hoping people would go, “Oh yeah, we want more live streams.” And and I got outvoted. 
Pogy beat me. Uh which is hilarious. Uh okay, here he is right here. Morton Johansson. Dude, 
uh again, thank you for your support yesterday. Really appreciate it. I did give you a shout 
out first thing this morning here. Uh I went   through that’s kind of what I’m doing, guys, 
is I’ll go through the next day. Uh I don’t want to miss people that I don’t know. I always 
call it give me an extra push. I’m that I’m that guy struggling on the team. I’m falling back. You 
guys put your hands on the middle of my back and   give me a little push. Always helps the channel. 
So Morton Johansson is here. Norwegian watching from Thailand. He’s from Asker Sunund, originally 
in Sweden. Uh oh, no, he’s not. He’s Norwegian. Who is the guy from Sweden then? We had a guy 
from Sweden in here yesterday. I’m positive. So, it’s Morton is the Norwegian. Okay. Uh, 
unless I was just confused. Okay. Anyways, Morton is Norwegian from Thailand. Uh, Oliver’s 
Alps are over two hours drives from home, but unfortunately, Calot another 10. Oh, yeah. 
It’s halfway across Europe for you, dude. Uh, Robert here. Oh my god. Gagioli, dude, was a 
rocket. Won everything in the US for Exactly, dude. So, when that was going down, obviously I’d 
been watching cycling for a while, but 1993 was like, “How do you learn about cycling? How do you 
hear anything about It was like bicycling magazine   and winning.” Talking about winning again. Guys, 
some of you have heard this. I’m going to go on a prowl in Calgary here in any old bookstore to 
see if I can find wood magazine. I got rid of all mine years ago. I probably traded them in. I had a 
huge collection of them and now on eBay they want 45 bucks a copy. So I’m like that really hurts. Uh 
and you can’t even find like a PDF digital version that you can pay for. I’m all for that guys. 
You can go on like eBay and stuff if you’re in   into any old stuff. Uh what did I used to read 
all the time? Like if you let’s say you’re like into the magazine like heavy metal or uh Omni was 
another good one like sci-fi stuff, you can go on eBay. Uh now I don’t know how legal it really is. 
Those magazines I think they’re both out of print. They’re not in publication anymore. So I think 
maybe the rules are all gone. But uh you can get full PDF versions of them like full color. You 
install them on your PC and you just read them. You can stall them on your like your phone, read 
them. Uh all those things that you probably lost your copies of years ago when you moved, you 
know, when you’re cleaning out the basement, when you’re raising kids and you thought, 
I don’t even read these things anymore. Um so yeah, let’s just back up here. Uh for advice, 
amazing story about Lance. Unbelievable. Win any cost. Yeah, that’s what it was. Stop at nothing. 
Win at any cost. But yeah, it’s called Stop at   Nothing, guys. You’ll find it on YouTube. Uh, 
and for anyone that’s in Europe, I sent a copy to Steven Cycles last copy a link. I said, “Dude, 
I hope you can see this.” And he goes, “I’ve never   seen this one.” I said, “Is it region? It might 
be region free.” It is. There’s uh, so it’s not locked out in any area. Yeah. 21 degrees right 
now. Just moving towards the sprint, guys. They’re just going to let uh, Trek work to the sprint and 
then I think we’re going to see some fireworks   going off. Tom Stoven. Stoven sitting on the front 
here. Stoven. Is that right? Coins. I think I’m mixing up names. Uh, let me just check that, guys. 
I want to see the teams here for a second. Teams. Uh, Leel Trek. I’m mixing up names. Tomcoins, not 
Yes. Stoven. Jasper. Yesper. Yasper. Yeah. So, Tomcoin sitting in the front. Lavian rider. I 
think it’s Tom Scoins. Uh maybe there is a guy from Latvia here yesterday. I think this is the 
guy that a few years back. Maybe it’s not him. I’m positive though was it was him at the Tour 
of California a few years back where basically   he crashed super hard and uh he obviously hit his 
head. Uh and he was very concussed. And I remember him like kind of like walking all over the road 
trying to get back on his bike. Um like they needed a medical car. They’re so quick to evaluate 
him and say, “No, dude. You’re not getting back on   your bike.” Um, yeah. So, that Gioli story, like 
I I I watched it downstairs. I came I ran upstairs cuz uh I was trying to hang out with Joey Jojo 
last night and I said, “This is what I want to   watch tonight. I’m not watching any more crime 
shows.” I put it on for her and she was like, “What? That happened?” Basically, he paid a guy 
off not to race. P I guess he had to make sure he won. Um, but yeah, that guy says on camera it was 
over $100,000 in a metal case and that’s it. So, win at any cost. Uh, yeah, Robert here. 
Americans and fems. Khloe Dyart, Kristen Faulner, Lily Williams. Lot dude. Yeah, there’s lots of 
Canadians. Lots of Canadians. I think when I   was going through the teams yesterday, uh if you 
go to the tour the France fe Swift uh website, they don’t have anything updated yet as for who’s 
racing. So, but you can go over to pro cycling stats. You can probably actually go over to the 
each individual team’s website. They quite a few of them have really good YouTube channels 
and you can learn about them. Uh you know, I focused all my time watching the men’s cycling. 
It’s just little bits of drips and drabs and now we’re seeing more of it. So, I’m going to cover 
all of it. Like I said, I’ll probably do with stages one and two out overlapping with stages 
20 and 21 of the tour to France. Stage three will be my first day of Fem Zavxswift. And I’ll come 
on like an hour, maybe an hour and a half early uh to do like a catchup show. That’s what I’m 
going to try to do. Uh Anna here, in my opinion, they should give Lance back his medals. Yeah, 
like that’s the thing too. I watch it and I’m and   I’m kind of going, “Okay, yeah, win at any cost.” 
Blah, blah. So were the other guys. Everyone was doing the same kind of stuff. Uh Lance just like 
what they said and I heard in that audiobook too, you know, that it shows Frankie Andreo a lot in 
that and Betsy because Lance was really rough on   them. Uh Betsy was like when she found out that 
Frankie was doing it, she lost her mind on him as she should. And she goes, “You’re not doing that 
stuff. If you do that stuff, we’re not getting   married.” Um she was so opposed to it. She never 
liked Lance. She said, “I always fought with Lance and no one else would. Everyone else would kind 
of like just kind of back off.” It’s funny here.   I’m seeing uh Interar coming up. Bignyan’s coming 
up here. Bignyan’s coming up to the sprint point, guys. Sprint point’s right ahead of us. You can 
see it here on screen right now. Uh, Pelaton   sticking together. Bingan’s going to be competing 
for his, you know, 19th or 18th points here unless he can pull something off. It sure would be nice 
to see him beat Jonathan Milan once this tour. He   won three stages last year. Bignyam Germay. Uh, 
yeah, Anna, I agree with you on that. I think uh it’s just because he fought because Lance 
would stop at nothing, win at any cost. when they brought all the riders in, when they subpoenaed 
them all. Hey man, this is what we’re going to   do. You’re going to spill the beans. You’re going 
to tell us everything that you did and you’re not going to get any trouble essentially. I don’t 
know what the actual deal was. So, like they   uh Tyler Hamilton, he’s one of my favorite dudes. 
I’ve seen so much stuff about him on YouTube. I love his crazy hair. I don’t think he has crazy 
hair anymore. And he’s kind of got like a weird   he’s got like a blink about him and and he’s got 
I don’t want to say he’s got really nice eyes. Just saying guys. Uh Joey Jojo likes him a lot too 
and I he did a few really good YouTube talks to uh different groups and stuff like that where he 
talked all about the doping, what happened at the   tour to France. Uh he came absolutely clean. 
Frankie said he goes, “When I went in there, he said I told stuff I had never told anyone 
before.” So basically it was like come tell us the story and you won’t get locked up. So, and 
they were serious about it in France. I mean, this all happened in the States. It all happened 
because sprint lead out here, guys. I mean, this   is obviously gone off now. Quinn Simmons leading 
them out. Trek on the front here again. There’s Jonathan Milan going. Bingham’s on his tail. 
Bing’s following. Bing’s giving a go of it. He’s about half a bike length behind uh Jonathan Milan. 
So, that’s the excitement of the sprint today,   guys. Nothing going on there. Uh I’d rather talk 
about the land stuff right now. So basically it was like tell it’s going to be a tell all guys. 
You’re going to tell us what happened and we’re   not going to find you too harshly or arrest 
you or anything like that. Everyone agreed to it except Lance. He was just ready to fight. So I 
think that’s why they went so hard on guys after the sprint point. The brakes are going like the 
brakes are on already. Uh I think I’m seeing a Vizma rider on the front. Vanart va goes off the 
front immediately. Totel energies. Quinn Simmons is there. Bahrain rider trying to bridge up. 
Um there’s probably five or six riders in this group right now. It’s not even showing up on 
the screen probably because there’s only one   second between them. Uh let’s see if we can see 
there. I think it’s showing up now maybe. No, we got someone off the back who probably just fell 
out of that sprint. It’s already on. It’s kind of exactly what I expected for the brakes to start 
right after the sprint point. I’m sure you guys   all did too. Uh, oh, Wake Dog or Yeah, it’s Wake 
Bong. That’s Sweden. Okay. Okay. So, Morton is from uh Norway living in Thailand. Uh Brett saying 
could never stand by that. He destroyed too many of the people lives. That Yeah, that’s what he 
did, too. Uh did you guys hear that Johan Bernal got uh busted cuz he was hanging out inside the 
Tour to France enclosure where all the riders are uh at this tour? And so he’s got a lifetime value 
from cycling. He can’t do anything to do with cycling anymore. But then they’re always saying, 
well, look at the hypocrisy. Like there’s a lot of people in cycling that were actively involved 
in that entire doping area. And that’s 100% true. It’s it’s just a weird thing. Uh there’s directors 
out there right now. There’s there’s directors in cars right now uh directing these teams who have 
actively written stories and books about their doping in the past. Uh we got the Canadian Gu 
Boon going out the back right now. So looks like he’s struggling with pace. Tim Wellins on the 
front guys. Tim Wellins uh just maybe 20 m off the front of the main Pelaton right now. Uh being 
chased by Vizma. That might be Campen Arts. Just can’t tell if he’s got the super arrow helmet 
on as usual. Tim Wellins on the front. UAE. Ah, guys. Tim Wellins is trying to do the reverse 
Vizma from the past. UAE looks like they’re   trying to get riders up the road uh to drift 
back later if Pogy needs them. I don’t think he’s going to need them, but it’s a good strategy. 
This is what Vizma should be doing already. So, the Belgium’s up front. Um, Don Don says, “I should have voted for more 
live streams, but I thought Yonas need more   help with his kitchen.” Dude, I think so, 
too. How about calling live streams? Uh, me helping Yonas do rens together. Have this 
little tiny stick of a man and me hanging out doing uh kitchen rens together. his wife 
Summer in the background yelling at me. Uh Brett’s asking what’s today’s poll calling. 
I It was going to be uh who’s going to win   today’s stage. Dawn had a great one. Pogy, 
Yonas, or uh Bingum at the finish. Uh we’re I think it’s tending towards Bingham right 
now. This kind of a joke, but I guarantee if we put Bingham there, he would get all the 
votes. Uh people will always support him. Um, okay, dude. And I thought about that, too. I 
might look for some bicycle magazine. Like,   there’s got to be some I like I don’t even 
know if those uh like any old bookstore would even carry that stuff. I haven’t been in a 
bookstore forever. Now it’s all like audio   books and I just, you know, kind of read 
Kindles. I do have books back here. Uh, next to read, guys. Next to read. Hang 
on a second here. Hang on one second. I   did want to do this. I’m trying not to 
do this without smashing my bike over. Uh, oh yeah. Oh yeah. Here it is, guys. Stephen 
King, Nightmares, and Dreamscapes. It’s an actual book. Actual book. All 10,000 pages of it. I think 
this was like less than 10 bucks on Amazon. It’s a used copy. I don’t care. It looks perfect to 
me. That’s next. Next book to read, guys. Uh, love me some Twisted Stephen King. He is really 
twisted, actually, when you read a lot. I’ve   listened to a lot and I’ve read a lot lately. Some 
of his collections are fantastic. Okay. Uh yeah, so more Kitchen Renos with Yonas. Wouldn’t it be 
cool if after this Yonas retires from pro cycling and opens like a, you know, starts up a Kitchen 
Renault show on HGTV? That could be possible. Uh Robert looking for a copy of 
Bicycle Sport magazine from 1984,   I believe. Human powered vehicle edition. Oh, 
dude. Robert, Robert, I think you’re reading my mind here. Pelaton is all over the place, guys. 
Riders are swerving all over the road right now, trying to get organized here. Uh, just trying to 
figure out what’s going on here. Guys are trying to jump up. Yellow Jerseyy’s not making any 
moves here. Oh, that’s a cool building. Looks like it’s a pump house or something for one of 
the dams nearby. Uh, but looks very vintage. I don’t think it’s still in operation anymore. Uh, 
Tim Wellins off the front still. Um, so Robert, a long time ago, and somehow it popped up on my 
feed. I think it was yesterday, the day before,   the humanpowered vehicle stuff. So guys, in 
certain parts of the world, they have like races of humanpowered vehicles. So there’ll be 
like 50 of them on the track at the same time, like full aerrow foils. Um, what are we seeing on 
screen here? Oh, Pelaton’s really split. There’s about 50 riders in a front group. It’s on like a 
two-lane highway with really wide shoulders just like in a big blob rotating around right now. 
Uh, riders jumping from the main pelis on the GC Pelon jumping ahead right now. All the Vizma 
boys are back there. Poggy’s back there. It looks like one of the Vizma riders going. Good idea, 
guys. You need to get riders up the road today.   They need to send a bunch of Vizma riders if 
I was Vizma in their car. Come on, Yonas. Come on. Now you are killing them all. Uh I would be 
sending riders up the road to assist later. Get them up the road now when Poggy’s not paying 
that much attention. That’s the only way they   can really beat them as I see it. So yeah, there 
there’s actually full humanpowered race vehicles in their fairings. They are so fast. Uh it’s 
insane. They are so aerodynamic. So, I’ve seen these videos in the past, Robert, and all you hear 
is like maybe it’s the carbon wheels, the sounds of the fairings. There’s zero commentary. And so, 
for the It’s been over a year I’ve thought about this. I’m like, I need to reach out to this guy 
and see if I can do some commentary, but I just   I don’t know a lot about it, but that’s okay. I 
think any commentary would be really cool. So, uh obviously Robert’s into the the human powered 
vehicle stuff. Oh, and right here, check this out. I didn’t finish reading the Robert. Uh, so he’s 
looking for a magazine inside covers has pictures of me crashing a human power ve vehicle at Indie. 
Robert, so awesome. Tell us more about it, dude. I’ I’ve just been yammering on and I didn’t read 
the rest of your question, your comment there. Uh,   Uncle Maddie, I really wish money was not a factor 
in sport, but has become the downfall of fair play in so many sports. Yes. If an athlete gets caught 
cheating, all the rewards and medals should be given back. Yeah. Yeah. And I guess what people 
Okay, Tim, don’t kill yourself. Tim gone alone. 3 seconds in front of the group. So, they’re telling 
Tim Wells not to kill himself. This is coming   from UAE Race Radio. Uh Tim’s just riding really 
aerodynamic. Hands draped over top of the hoods. You know the old hand drape. Um he’s looking back 
a couple times. He and he’s not killing himself. He’s just riding comfortably. Pelaton is stretched 
out. 200 riders. Okay. 160 riders long right now. I think. Okay, let’s take a look at these groups 
here. Here’s Tim Wellins. Uh 16 seconds back to this group and it’s a ton of riders. Take a look 
at this guys. Oo, we got some hitters here, folks. We’ve got this second group of 61. Okay, now it’s 
merging back together. It had Leapowitz alone only up there. Uh so now it’s 19 seconds back. So what 
I’m seeing here is probably the main GC Pelaton chasing to bring that big group of riders back. 
green jersey uh T-Bone Jonathan Milan back here by themselves and Gom Boine Israel premitech from 
Canada uh out the back there. Yeah. So going back to something earlier to France Evift uh Fem’s 
Eve Swift. There are quite a few Canadians. I think I counted about five Canadians in there. 
Allison Jackson is the one that I know very well. The other girls I don’t yet, but I will. Um, I 
will point out the Canadians, but I’m the kind of race fan, too. I don’t like, you know, Calgary 
Flames are down the road. Am I a diehard Flames supporter? No. I can’t. I I don’t get behind the 
concept of I have to die with that team because they live in the same geographical area as me. 
Like, this just doesn’t make any sense to me. Um, I would probably support another team 
if I just liked someone on the team. Same as cyclists. Okay. Uh, Oliver, Robert, how fast 
were you going on HPV? Yeah. All uh Robert, take some time here and tell us about this. This 
is awesome. And Robert, if you know anyone that’s   still involved in it, uh, I would love to do 
some commentary on it. I know it’s pretty big in Australia. I think that’s where I first start 
watching it. And when they crash, they crash hard. Uh, I saw them riding and the one I saw that 
just popped up out of the blue yesterday and I did. I as soon as I saw it, I clicked on it. 
I’m like, “Oh, there’s that stuff again.” Uh,   looks like he was using like probably a carbon 
belt chain instead of a normal chain inside. I imagine they’re pretty noisy inside, too. 
Uh, Don, the closest I ever came to getting a concussion was mountain biking down a single 
track path once. I went over my handlebars and   time was playing hockey. Fun times. Yeah, right. 
Over the handlebars. That’s the way to do it. Um, Tyler Hamilton. Yeah, dude. I still love Tyler 
Hamilton. Just seeing him talk on that show last night. You know, he has the crazy hair. Uh, they 
talked about Floyd a lot. And this is the one where they, like they said, Floyd was the ticking 
time bomb because he’d already been busted for his uh 2006 stuff. And they basically just let him 
fry. He went back to Johan Brunal and was like, “Hey guys, uh, my band’s over. I need I need a 
ride. Can you put me back to work? He’d blown through all his money that he had. Whatever 
money he had was all gone. Uh what am I seeing here? Vout attacking again off the front. So 
it’s just Tim Wellins up front. Uh it says one chaser about Venart. There we go folks. So we 
are very close here on feed today. V’s trying to get off the front to cover the UAE move. 
And looking back at the Pelaton, the chasers, uh, it’s just riders swerving back and forward 
looking who’s coming, who’s going to go with us.   Can we do this? It looks like the Pelaton is 
all back together here. And it’s showing that there as well. 15 seconds uh 6 seconds back 
from vout to the Pelon. Uh, okay. Fred, yeah, I totally enjoyed listening to Tyler. Seemed 
100% honest and sincere. Yeah, totally, dude.   and Fred. Uh, sorry, Fred. Tyler used to be on a 
weekly podcast here by a guy based out of Calgary, like just down the road from me. I think it was 
called the Adventure Podcast or something. Uh, when Tyler left, I kind of stopped listening to it 
cuz I just kind of like Tyler. There’s something about him. He just seemed he does seem I mean, 
he was fully involved in the doping and he says he looks back and he says like, “I can’t believe 
the stuff we did.” Uh, and they were so serious in France about it. All this stuff, you can go back, 
guys. They said when we were racing in France,   there was two speeds. The French speed and the 
world tour speed, like the rest of the world speed, because the French were so strict on their 
internal testing in France. Uh, they would just show up at your door anytime. It was easier to get 
away with it if you were from another country. Uh, in France, uh, you’re caught with drugs, you’re 
going to jail. It’s not just like, oh, you know, it’s like they made it seem like it was worse 
than being caught smuggling heroin or cocaine or something. Um, they took it that serious. 
They would lock up husbands and wives together, you know, if they had they could 
all be locked up. Tyler was like,   “If I would have been caught there, it 
would have been this like handcuffs.” So, he was ready to come clean in the States uh 
and help out with the uh the investigation. Uh, got Phil here. Phil Thomas. Okay. Phil’s name 
looks familiar to me. Lance’s bike shop in Austin is really cool. Called Melo John’s. Yeah, I’ve 
heard about that place. Uh, Phil only been to   Austin once. Uh, let me give you my recollections 
of Austin. We went down to the F1 in 2014. Great F1, by the way. Really enjoyed the course. The 
cars were too quiet. This is the quiet area of   Formula 1. Um, we stayed downtown somewhere at 
like a standard hotel. I do know the name of the the hotel. And it was like, you know, here we 
are grown dudes. We’re all sharing we’re sharing rooms because it was I think it was like what 700 
and something a night US because of the Formula 1 weekend. Uh, the buffet in the morning. I’m an 
early riser. One morning I got up, there was Damon Hill and uh I rode the uh the elevator down with 
Eddie Irvine who has unfortunately passed away. He has Yeah, he’s passed away. You know, just a 
little in the elevator. You know what floor? Okay, good. Me, too. Morning to you. I knew exactly 
who he was. I just kind of like He probably knew I knew who he was, but I’m not going to be 
starruck. It’s just not my style. Went downstairs. I sit down there for three hours waiting for my 
friends to wake up. Uh, and then in Austin, too,   it’s a big uh, college town. I think they have 
two colleges, guys. We call them universities here. University is a 4-year program. College is 
a two-year program. Uh, that’s how we call it. In some reason, in the States, they call universities 
and colleges. They kind of flip-flop the names   together. Okay. Looking at some artwork here. 
Um, yeah. And then so in Austin too, beautiful city. Uh, love the river and they have a street 
there. I think it’s 6th or something. So they call it Dirty Sixth. It’s where all the college kids 
go out at night. Uh, yeah, just hang out at the bars. I I shut her down at 11:00. My friends roll 
in at 3:00 in the morning. Like I’m like, “Guys,   I’m done with this. I’m going back to the room.” 
The second night, my friend who room with me, he’s like, “Dude, I’m so jealous.” cuz I’m like, 
“Dude, I’m not going out tonight. I’m not I’m not   doing it anymore.” I said, “I’m going to have a 
night of watching some crappy movie. Uh getting myself a couple of uh Coke Zeros and a couple ice 
cream cones. Uh like the Frozen ones, you know, those ones that have the caramel on top.” Uh and 
my friend was like, “Oh man,” he goes, “I’m so   jealous.” But he couldn’t say no to the boys. I’m 
like, “I’m out. See you.” Uh yeah, that was a fun time. Um but yeah, I never saw Miller Johnny’s. I 
should have looked for it. wasn’t really huge into   cycling then. That was on my break from cycling. 
Uh swoosh kid miss sprints are still important to uh in for Milan. Yes, it is important to him. Dawn 
still a fan of US Postal Service team who evolved into Discovery and finally Radio Shack. Yeah, me 
too. I read all this stuff about Lance. He was a total fighter. Uh oh, here they are. They’re 
going up that damp. Uh I’m seeing the screen now. It’s got like one I guess two switchbacks on 
it and they go to the top of the dam again. It’s it’s an earthn dam. I didn’t I think I have seen 
this one before. Uh LeBron de uh ver I think it’s verier ver. Then we’re going to start doing some 
real climbing folks. Real climb is coming. You can see we’re just kind of like jumping up here on 
the profile a little bit now. We got five riders   up front. Vouts jumped up there to Tim Lutenko 
Kaden Groves. Dude, what are you doing up here? and Yonas Rooch. This guy got ran over early in 
the stage by another rider. Uh we’ve got a couple riders. Oh, it’s Verce. This guy got smashed to 
the ground on stage one uh by Ben Toma. And then we got the Pelaton back here. 156 riders strong. 
So, we did lose two riders this morning. Sir, I think it’s serial bar and uh Carlos Rodriguez. 
Like, that’s crazy. Number 10 at the Tur of France is out. uh fractured pelvis called the gland on 
guys. It’s kind of got like three steps to it where you’re going to go up a little bit, descend, 
go up a little bit, descend to the final kick at   the top. Crazy scenery here. These dams, I mean, 
the roads go right across the dams. This one looks really familiar to me. I’ve I’ve done a route on 
Ruvie where I remember passing two dams on the road. Remember, it’s all video on Ruvie. Uh, I’m 
wondering if this is what it was cuz I don’t know if I’ve done the gland on Ruby. It’s on there. Uh, 
Phil Thomas is uh talking for Wellins here. How is Tatty to die as they like to say too? Points down 
after winning four stages. Uh, points down after winning four stages. Are you talking green jersey 
points? Oh, wow. Uh yeah, that’s crazy. Uh Robert, dude, I think that was you. I think you’re killing 
it. Oh, we got a new dude here. Uh Rick Rick, it says Rick Cud. Uh dude, thank you so much. 
Here inside Cycling World loves your support, bro. Loves it. Um thank you so much, dude. I 
haven’t even got it. Just guys, all these weird things pop up in the chat for me. Uh hey guys, I 
got something really cool I want to talk about, too. So my channel from the past was covering was 
commentating on virtual cycling inside and I’m talking hardcore cyclists. Uh out of the blue la. 
So last year I did something called the Echelon Racing League erl and uh the team is called 
Project Echelon. Guys look them up. I think they might be one of the very best continental level 
teams in the US right now. I just saw some news blurs from him and so I did commentary for them. 
Uh I think I reached out to him. His name’s Eric Hill. Super nice guy. He’s the director of the 
entire team. I believe X-Racer. I don’t know if he still races at all. I don’t know enough about 
them yet. They have a huge charitable cause called   Project Echelon as well. It’s to help disabled 
veterans get active uh physically and mentally. They provide uh bikes and smart trainers uh to 
get inside cycling so they can focus on something versus dwelling on what’s happened to them. If I 
I guess that’s the best way I can say it. I’m not a spokesperson for them. So, uh just doing the 
best I can. So, I did all the masters categories racing and they had another group come in and do 
the uh the elite stuff. I reached out and he said, “Hey, we got no one to do this. if you want to 
do it, man, you’re welcome to. I thought I did a   good job at it. Uh he reached out to me last night 
from a plane in Europe flying to Belgium and said, “Hey, dude. Let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about 
it again this year.” So, I think I’m going to   be back doing that. So, I’m pretty pumped about 
that. Uh okay. Uh we’re on the HGTV stories. So, Phil’s asking about how is Tatty down on points. 
Uh he’s probably talking about the green jersey points. He’s not going to win those 50 point 
stages. I think he did win one though. Uh but Tim Wellins has been getting all the intermediates. 
So Tatty will be a bit behind on points. Uh Dawn   here. HDTV series series called Jobs with Jonas. 
Yonas. They start with his kitchen, then move to the other rooms of his villa in Denmark. The final 
episode series is of Yonas tossing fish on the docks. Dude, that would be a killer. It’s probably 
better than most TV shows on HDTV right now. Uh those channels, I don’t even know how they 
exist. Uh just I just turn them off. It’s all   fake. It’s all staged. Uh you know, it’s one of 
those things where some dude comes along, dude, you’re trying to sell your house. We’re going 
to spend 10 grand on it. It’s going to be worth   $400,000 more. Trust us. They throw some paint on, 
buy some throw pillows, and all of a sudden it’s worth a million dollars. Yeah, right. Um Robert, 
dude, love this. Uh and I’m gonna get to Rick here right away. I’ve seen he’s somewhere down in the 
chat here. Uh, got to race HPV on Indie Speedway, which is very cool. Only timed about 45 miles an 
hour. Likely very hung over. Can’t remember. Oh, Robert’s got some stories from the past. Only 
timed at about 45 miles an hour. Wow, they’re   fast. Yeah, when I see them racing, I’m like, this 
is this is brutally fast. Upgrade your mind. This is Andrew here. Morning all from Canada. Jim Boy 
the Great. Do you think Pogy will have his revenge this time against Vingo? I want him demolished 
to being Gionis in Bisma by gaining 10 minutes on   the stage, dude. Yeah, guys. So, this is the stage 
where two times and I and I think it’s on the call lot. This is the third time that Pogy’s been on 
it and this climb has only been used in the tour   for I think six or seven years. Uh it’s not that 
old of a climb. Uh used at the tour. Obviously, it’s been there before. You know, people have 
climbed it. Um but it’s the place where Pogy has struggled in the past on two different occasions. 
So, Jimboy’s hoping that uh Pog is going to go full revenge, full vindication, redemption, 
and uh destroy Vizma. It’s very possible, dude. Very possible. Uh Doug Sanders says he’s 
a diehard Denver Broncos fan in California, I believe. Dude, we were at the uh Mile High Stadium 
for the Metallica concert. Great stadium. Really liked it. Uh good layout. A little bit hard to get 
an Uber afterwards, but that place was packed. I think it seats 75,000. For concerts, they can jam 
in about 86,000. Maybe not for Metallica because their stage, but see Bingham going out the Oh, 
no, that’s not Byum. It’s another Interar rider   going out the back right now. Uh oh, it’s Yonis 
Roo off the front group. So, that front group should be four riders now. Yeah, it is. Yonas is 
just shaking his head. Oh, I know how hard this climb is because he’s doing that old kind of like 
kind of pushing his bike forward with his hands like to get that extra couple of inches on each 
pedal stroke. I’ve done that. Um, this is just a small little divot we’re on right now before 
we actually start the climb here. Tim Wellins,   Vanart, Lutenko, and Kaden Groves. Guys, Kaden 
Groves is up the road. Uh, I’m thinking with Kaden Groves here today, I think he’s like, “Let me get 
way far up the road when I’m feeling good and then I’m going to do the uh Robbie McCreean drift back 
down through the pack.” That’s what I think he’s   doing. Uh, more of a sprinter than anything else. 
So, Yonas Roo is falling out the back right now for Intermar. And I am seeing on screen here now, 
I was going to say, is that Ben Oconor? It is Ben   Oconor. It just lit up here. Ben Oconor. Santiago 
Braago who finished uh did he finish third? I think he finished third on the MON 2. So Valentine 
Perry Ponch the new hero of France uh Ben Healey and then I think Braago was there before Pogy 
Yonas and Enrik Mass. Mayor Hoffer here’s a name I haven’t said much this tour. Marius Mayorha 
German two door pro cycling team he’s in the mix. This dude, I talked a lot about him at the 
uh the first time trial. Ivonne Romeo Abad, really nice time trialist. And Matteo Virture 
crashed on day one. That’s his claim to fame at this tour to France. Got wiped out so hard by 
another rider. And they’ve got about a 13-second gap over the Pelaton. This is just going to 
string out all day, guys. This is going to be just a war out there. A war of attrition. Uh 
I think the chat’s going to be awesome today. Uh, Uncle Maddie, cheating to win is wrong. That’s 
what we teach 99% of the kids. Who convinced 1% to do the opposite? Wealthy past cheaters. Yeah. And 
so that’s what a lot of people have right now. So   Yan’s not allowed into uh the riders enclosure. 
Like he’s not allowed access to it. I mean, he was a world tour rider and you know, 
he led them through all those victories, but he’s got a lifetime ban now. His thing is 
it’s so much hypocrisy because half the guys leading these teams were all part of that era. 
So it’s a little bit of well why are they still allowed? I guess someone I said read yesterday 
was saying they got fined for different things. Some guys were like oh you got busted. Okay there 
is you’re fine. You’re done. Other guys fought it   and were more involved with it. Some of these 
riders that are now DS’s they weren’t leading the teams that were doing it. Uh yeah, that’s all 
I can think. I don’t really know for sure, guys. Okay. Uh Robert rolled the HPV in the road race. 
Hails went flying. Kind of blew up the vehicle. Six photos inside showing the roll and the crash. 
So, Robert, what’s the magazine again? I think you said it was called Bicycle Sport. I thought it was 
bicycling at first, but uh Anna, I feel bad for Yonas. People make fun of him, but the red flag 
is his wife. Okay. The red flag is wife. The fact that she was 30 and he was 19 when they met. Oh, 
she was Oh, she’s that much older. I didn’t know   that. And she was also his manager. Yeah. I think 
she was some kind of HR manager. And that’s what a lot of people are saying. It’s like, and I don’t 
want to disrespect respect him or his wife. That’s his wife, I guess. Um, but she was an HR manager 
on a cycling team who knows the demands, who knows what they got to put into this. And so she’s now 
decided, I don’t like that anymore. I wanted to be home all the time to do laminate flooring with me 
as I watch and eat bon bonss. I’m just making that part up. Maybe have a cafe bon bon. In fact, let’s 
have a sip of coffee here. Um, yeah, it’s kind of annoying, especially when she’s saying Yonas is 
away too much. I’m sure the other guys are away from home a lot, too. There’s a lot of dudes that 
are away from home. Cavendish said that um he was home less than 10 days a year during his World 
Tour career. Like every year he’d get to get race home and spend about 10 nights at home per year. 
So the sprinter uh he was definitely probably not doing high altitude camps cuz that’s what they’re 
saying. She is saying, “Oh, he’s always away at   high altitude camps.” Okay. Well, Cav was only 
apparently home 10 days out of the year as well and he’s not a sprinter. probably not hanging 
out at high altitude all the time. I’m sure   he did some of them. Uh pretty cool to see him 
hanging out at the tour. He just loves cycling. Yeah. And it’s just Yeah, it’s his wife. But 
yeah, quiet quiet time. Just don’t beat up my bosses. That Vizma is his boss. I mean, maybe 
he’s got enough money he just wants to retire and just go sit there in Denmark and eat pickled 
fish. I don’t know. Uh, okay. Phil saying here, “Wow, very cool.” I think we’re talking about the 
HPV stuff. Okay, I do want to get to Rick here. I   can see him here. Uh, oh, Don saying, “I still 
have my Festina jersey. I ride around town with it. Looks nice, but the entire team was busted.” 
Yeah, that was the Richard Rishard Veron era, and I saw him back. Someone else brought that up, 
too. So, Rashard Veron probably involved in one of the most dope teams. The entire team was kicked 
out of the tour to France. What was that, 1998? Uh he’s now like interviewing and commentating 
at races afterwards. So yeah, you I guess I’d look at it this way. You’re in a pro sport. You’re 
getting paid. You cheated the whole way. You did   illegal drugs the whole way. You got a slap on the 
wrist. And 20 years later, you’re still involved in cycling. Uh you’re still getting paid to do 
these things. That Yeah, it is kind of weird. Uh guys, I have a uh one of the first watches 
I bought uh I bought a tour to France Festina watch. It’s just a big lumpy like it’s huge. 
Like it it’s it’s way too big. I think it’s like a it’s probably like a 48 mil watch. Uh it 
was a chrono quartz chrono. Uh I still have that. Okay, catching up here. So yeah, I have a Fistina 
watch. Uh, ooh, it’s JR from Lafia. I remember the name now. Uh, his name, Jev Jenis. That’s like 
Eugene in English. Hi. Luckily, the weather is great today. Uh, Jr. from Lafia. Uh, the weather’s 
supposed to get crappy later. There’s rain in the forecast front right now, guys. Um, uh, okay. This 
must be a group trying to come up perhaps. Okay, looks like they’re catching Kaden Gross 
here. Quinn Simmons is on the move right now.   So at the front it’s Wellens and Lenko. Then the 
Pelaton. So 108 riders there. Okay. It’s balancing all over the place right now. Just Rajick popped 
up. Look at this here. Uh Primos Rajick is chasing the front group. Uh he’s 16 seconds behind 
them. This guy was supposed to be retired,   folks. I know not all you guys said that there, 
but that’s stuff I was reading. They’re on a 12 to 11% section through here. the Pelaton and 
Primos a little bit shallower up ahead. We’re like on kind of like the first little chunk of 
the Glandon here. Let’s have a quick peek where they’re at. You can see them here. And what I will 
do right now, guys, uh sometimes I think the feed from the tour here is very slow. Other times it’s 
spoton. So, I’m just going to zip down and see   what they got to say. Primos attacks with 120k to 
go. Matteo Jorgensson tries to join the Slovenian. Uh 43.2 km an hour in the first hour climbing. 
Kaden Gro has been dropped. Oh yep. Van Art went out the back. Uh it’s Wellens and Lutenko 
pushing. Okay. So let’s take a look at that front group. Uh Lutenko for Israel Premier Techch 
from Kazakhstan and Tim Wellins Belgian UAE XRG. Let’s see how this evolves. Uh chatty chat chat. 
So yeah, weather supposed to be cool later, rain, potentially storms on the final climb. Jr. uh 
Eugene, who took the inter sprint points? Uh I saw Milan go across first. Let’s have a quick 
look. Bingham looked like he was second. Uh   Jonathan Milan, 20 points. By Germay 17. Anthony 
Turgis is always there. Look at this. Abenson. Wow. Uh, for fourth, Tim Wellins, Quinn 
Simmons, Toys, Van Art, Tease, Emanuel Bman, Matty Mahoric. He’s had a very quiet tour so 
far. Scooins, uh, for Lafia, Ballerini, Martinez, and Consone. So, we got some Trek riders thrown 
in there as we would expect. Uh, here we go again, guys. Two riders off the front. UAE and Israel 
Premier Techch. Six riders chasing. Ooh, this is a nice group here, guys. This is a nice group 
here. It is going off already. Climb one. Uh, so I’m thinking Vizma Yonas probably won’t 
make a big move until the final climb, the caldera loads, because it’s 26.4 km long. 
You can’t afford to burn all your matches at the beginning and then have yourself die on 
the final climb and perhaps you drop down in the classification. But in this group here, and I 
was kind of expecting smaller groups to go ahead,   I think the big showdown between them is later. 
It’s going to be positioning of riders early on up the road. Uh so Roger gone up the road 
right now. Fifth place overall. Felix Gaul, seventh place. He’s the guy that disappeared on 
me on the MOA 2. Uh Matteo Jorgensson going up the road now. He was fifth earlier in the race. 
Lost a lot of time on a couple stages. He’s going to go Mubberger for Moastar. So Moastar trying to 
get represented and Martinez trying to get see if he can get more points. He’s wearing the jersey 
today by default. It’s actually Tatty’s jersey. Uh I think they’re tied on 60 each. So yeah, 60 
points each. Tatty got the most recent points. So he get it’s his. Martin’s wears it today because 
Tatty’s in to die is in the uh yellow jersey. Tatty to die today. I’ve heard 
him called everything. Uh Chatty. So yeah, Jonathan got them. The Festina jersey 
was sweet and that bust was spectacular back in the days when the riders would uh bleach their 
hair. Oh yeah. Yeah, exactly. bleached their hair. They all had blonde hair, I think, on that 
team. Yes. So, Rick Hood here. Dude, thank you so   much for your support. Awesome. Awesome stuff. Uh, 
this really helps the channel out, you know, with the way the channel’s going now, guys. Getting 
a message from a dude, uh, who’s basically the   director of a prolevel team from Europe. Uh, guys, 
take a look at Project Echelon. I think their most recent win and they’re all over the place and 
I’m all behind them for their charitable cause. Uh helping disabled veterans out. I did their 
So they did virtual racing on uh my whoosh last year. My whoosh is kind of like taken all of the 
uh elite level racing. They’re doing it all right now. They did the world championship. So there 
was an esports world championships every year.   Uh it used to be on Zift and I think uh my whoosh 
has the contract for the next few years now. So I started doing all sorts of coverage on my 
whoosh uh community level racing. I reached   out to Eric Hill of Project Echelon Racing and uh 
he said, “Hey man, the elites are already covered, but there’s no one doing the age categories.” 
So the non- elites, that could be everyone. That could be like 35 to 40, 40 to 50, everyone. 
uh men’s, ladies, the whole works. I did all that for them. I think that was five races and then a 
championship race. Uh and then I did the US age category esports championships for everyone in the 
US. And then I did all of the Canadian races. Um I guess it went well. They asked me to come back 
and I guess this time I was a volunteer. This time it’s going to be a different level. So I’m 
really interested in learning more about that. So   uh Rick here. Thank you so much, dude. So, it’s 
stuff like this I’m seeing here. It’s like, wow, people like what I’m doing. They like the channel. 
Uh, yeah. It’s so motivating to me. And like that call us. I’m like, oh my just like, “Hey, dude. 
So, let’s He goes, let’s talk in August.” And I’m like, “Oh, dude.” Okay. I’m like, “Wait a 
second. August is next week.” Um, cuz it is. It’s next week. Uh, I’m like, “Dude, this guy’s 
messaging me from a plane flying to Belgium.” So, I quickly jumped on Pro Cycling Stats, looked up 
Project Echelon Racing. They’ve got four races   coming up in Europe. These guys are all over 
the place. So, they’re a Conti level team. I think that’s what you call them in the States. Uh, 
watching Michael Store jumping out of the uh the GC Pelaton right now for Tudor front group again, 
Tim Wallins and Lenko. Then we got Okay, here’s Store and Arensman. Ah, Aaron’s back here. Store 
just blows right past Arenssman. very unfortunate for Inos to lose Carlos Rodriguez. Uh that guy’s, 
you know, could be a GC contender in the future. Uh had really well placacings uh at the Tour to 
France. I think he’s got a fifth and a seventh already. Uh and he was sitting in 10th this 
year. Got the Pelaton 17 seconds behind store. Yeah, this looks kind of tough here, guys. It 
looks really tough. This is going to be a hellish   day out there. Uh, looks like Tim Wellins’s here. 
Um, looks like he’s being cashed by a bunch of riders. Yeah, it’s that faster moving group coming 
up right now. It’s the Primos group, guys. Primos is driving to the front and has caught Wellins and 
Lenko and brought a ton of riders. Will Barta from the States here, this American dude right here. 
So, he’s up there. Martinez, Latenko, Stoer, who was on the attack there. Lechnesend, Garcia 
Pierre for Archa, B&B Hotels, uh, Muleberger, Matteo Jorgensson, Arenssman, who is jumping up 
as well, Felix Gaul, and Rodri. Okay, so let’s get this straight here. We got our front group 
of 15. Uh, Jordan Jagass trying to get up the two. Well placed, 11th place overall. One spot out 
of 10th. You want to be in that top 10. Pelaton’s not that far behind. 16 seconds back. Uh, I guess 
their actions are going to be dictated by what are what’s Yonas doing back there? Uh, how’s Tatty 
feeling back there? How far do they want to let this group go? Uh, okay. Team RTO here from Let me 
just have a read of this guys. Red Bull, Primos, UAE is pulling. UA is pulling fast, so don’t waste 
energy. Yeah, they don’t want Primos to like blow himself up because UAE is trying to dial this back 
in right now. UAE does not want this to get away. So, yeah. Rick, uh Rick, where are you from? I I 
think this might be Rick’s first time here. Maybe   Rick’s been here. He’s just never commented 
before. Everyone, if you’re just a lurker, welcome. Uh lurkers, just let me know where you’re 
from. Do you ride bikes? How long have you been   following the tour for? Uh Mark Listister, Mark’s 
been here before. That profile looks like most of my hiking routes. Yeah, this is a brutal route 
today. Absolutely brutal on bikes. Sitting in   the front, we got an EF rider, Inos rider, Vizma, 
UAE’s there. I think this GC group, oo, the the main GC group, guys, is already very uh whittleled 
down. Take a look at this. Well, they’re saying it’s 88. It’s not 88. They’re just changed 
to 52. I’d say the main GC group with Tatty, uh, Pogy, Yonas, EF guys, all the Vizma, and you 
guys, I’m gonna think it’s no more than 40 riders right now with dribbs and drabs going out the 
back. They’re picking up dribbs and drabs up the front. 16 riders in the front, including the polka 
dot jersey. Uh, at the top of the call to Glal, we have 20 points available. So, Lenny Martinez 
is going to be fighting desperately for those. If Lenny has a good day, he could uh completely 
take the polka dot jersey away from uh Pogy. There’s 60. Actually, there’s 20 at this at the 
Glandon. There’s 20 at the Mataline. There’s 40 at the Cold Delotes. Realistically though, I don’t 
think he’ll be able to do that. Unless Pogy just says, “I don’t care. Go for it.” Um, I think that 
the last part is going to be so brutal that most of the breakaway guys are probably going to be 
snagged by the uh the GC. Again, looking at Rick   here. Thank you so much, Rick. Just motivate. 
It’s things like that. It’s you guys watching the channel. It’s you guys participating in this 
chat. Um, hanging out with me, talking, cycling, being interactive, getting phone calls from 
some director over in Europe. Uh, sorry guys, it was a message. It wasn’t a phone call. Uh, 
dude, and it was just so cool. He goes, “Dude,   I’m on a flight to Belgium right now. We got more 
races planned.” I quickly jumped on Pro Cycling Stats, and it looks like they have two races 
way up in Northern France. I don’t even know the names of them. Uh, they’re like, what would 
they be? Uh, you know, when they say 1.1 or 1.2, I think they’re like 1.1. And I think one’s a 
stage race. I think they have a stage race, a   three-day stage race, either in Spain or Portugal. 
Uh, yeah, it’s just crazy following these guys. And the guys I was doing commentary on over the 
winter were kind of like I think a lot of them were like just their junior guys trying to make it 
to the main team. So I met all these cool cyclist dudes like 19 years old. I had guys jumping into 
the chat. I don’t know who these guys are. And I remember one dude his son was in the chat. So 
he jumps in. Thank you so much for cheering and doing such a great good job commentating. And I’m 
like okay dude your name sounds familiar really   familiar to me. And he goes yeah. He goes, 
“That’s my son.” I’m like, “Holy crap.” So, like dudes my age watching their sons race and 
some other guy they don’t know commentating. Yeah, it was so much fun. I loved it. Absolutely loved 
it. Uh, Maddie, explain to me why Vizma needs to send riders up the road. Why should they ride 
the Pelaton every stage, let other teams go,   then smash you can more riders likely to finish? 
I would send riders up the road. This is what they’ve done before. uh if they can get some 
riders up the road when the attacks go off uh and UAE other riders are gone, they’re still 
going to have riders up the road to help Viz uh   Yonas out. That’s the whole strategy behind 
that. If they could get a couple riders, two, three riders up the road, he can use each one kind 
of as the mental draft uh to pull him up the road. Uh David Gel here. Let’s go. Primos going for 
fourth place. Thank you, Colin. Appreciate you,   dude. Thank you for being here. David Gistler is 
in the mix, folks. Guys, I can’t believe we have 350 people watching right now. It’s only 5:35 
in the morning for me. Today is going to be an epically long day. Uh UAE is on the front right 
now pushing guys. Max speed right now. 16 km an hour. That’s 10 miles an hour. We do have our 
15 up front, which is a pretty good size break here. Ooh, we have It looks like a UAE rider’s 
having a mechanical right now. Uh just missed   that. He was winding his pedals backwards trying 
to fix his chain. Let’s have a quick look at this. I’m going to tell you what happens here right 
now. Actually, small crash. Actually, almost a crash. It’s What’s Pavle Silvikov? Uh, looks like 
his chain jumped off. Probably shifting too many gears at once. Even the prolevel equipment does 
that, guys. And then it just showed the Pelaton   going a whopping 10 mph all diverting around 
him cuz he was dead stopped in front of them. So, Civikov out the back. It’s going to be a 
bit of a chase for him to get back on. Now, 15   up front. Uh, okay. I’m going to want to call him 
Carlos Rodriguez. This is Christian Rodriguez who is placed 17th overall for Arca B&B hotels. Uh, 
Jordan Jagat, Enrik Mas, who had a great day at Devon 2. Vanderbrook here, Frank Vanderbrook for 
picnic. Hopefully can help Oscar only out later. Uh Castrio Zapeder and Luke Plap got two really 
good time triers right here trying to get up the road. They want to get out the road early and 
drift back. Do the drift back and then not fall   out the back and get eliminated today. Uh anyone’s 
guess are we going to see elimination today? Okay, I’m seeing a call for this rider here calling 
for assistance right now. It’s Emanuel Bookman. I   think there might have been some touches of wheels 
more. So he’s calling the team car right now. Let’s uh get that figured out. Uh yeah. So, 
Maddie, it’s just a strategy. Get riders up the road in early breaks so that GC guys can 
use them later. Uh they they don’t want to be isolated. It’s all about isolating someone. 
The times that Tatty has been hurt by Yonas, he’s been isolated. He doesn’t have any 
of his own teammates there to help him. Tatty’s so good though, he’ll use the other guys 
against him. Like he’ll use Yonas’s guys to help him. So, it’s not a surefired strategy, that’s 
for sure. Uh, so David, thank you for being here. David Gistler here. F uh who’s this dude here? 
FK89, I think. FK89 Green. Until multiple teams don’t join forces, Tatty will keep winning it. 
Yeah, dude. I’ve been saying that for a while. Uh, I would like to see a coalition of more teams to 
work against them. Uh, I’m thinking Red Bull and Vizma should be working against them. There’s 
got to be, as much as, you know, Primos kind of   left Vizma on bad terms to lead his own team. Uh, 
there’s still got to be friendships there. Like, hey dudes, you know, we’ve ridden together for 
years. Let’s do this. Let’s get it today. Uh, I’m going to help you move up in the standings 
and hopefully I move up in the standings, too. Uh, Primos definitely wants to move up. Uh, standing 
on the road here, we’ve got a tutor rider. It’s   Michael Store getting a full bike change. Just he 
had his bottle waiting for his team just guzzling the entire bottle down. So, obviously, these 
guys will be drinking tons on this climb. So, Store just fell out of the back of that front 
group. He would have been, I think, in this   group here. It’s down to 14 riders now. Uh, some 
good names here, guys. Primos, Felix GS group, Ben O Connor, Ersman, Matteo Jorgensson, who is 
an incredible cyclist. He just went through a little bit of a bad spell uh for a few days there. 
Tim Wellins, Bruno Amarel. I really like this guy here. He’s been on so many moves. 60th overall. 
Uh then we are still 32 seconds back to another group of seven riders, Henrik Mass, Michael Woods. 
Kind of a Woods day to show off. Uh then we’ve got uh Baine for EF Barry who I think went down 
yesterday in a crash. Beret and uh Clemo Berth here for Decathlon. Dathlon well represented in 
the brakes today. Neil’s Paul on the front guys. He’s not sitting. He’s out of the saddle grimacing 
right now. Uh yeah, this part looks pretty steep where they’re at right now. Saying it’s about a 9% 
gradient here. 11% gradient now. uh 22 riders in the GC uh group. So, these are the these are the 
big names here, guys. Uh let me just have a quick scan down through here. Uh there’s Yates. Where is 
Yonas right now? Okay, so stores out of the back of the GC group. Quinton Pache is further back. 
The green jersey group is already five minutes behind on the first climb. Uh they could be 15 
minutes behind by the top, I think. Where are we? Here we are, guys. Yeah, this is good. Here, 
gonna try to do something here. Fun. Uh, how am I going to do this? See if I can jump over to 
here and jump over here. Have a sip of my coffee. Uh, Dathlon Radio, uh, cheering 
on Felix Gaul right now. Here’s our leading group. Uh, I’m going to do 
this because he’s the man right now. Hopefully I can show some stuff to hear, guys. 
Um guys, we’re going to do this quickly right now. You know, I like to do this. I love this 
little application. Boom. Guys, we’re now back over on Bike Terra. Uh let me get situated here 
to see so I can describe what I’m seeing here. 10% gradient right now. Take a look at the profile 
on the bottom of the screen. That’s the profile   they’re climbing right now. And their location is 
that little white line. use the map in the bottom right hand corner. Uh you can see we’re actually 
going to uh the Grand Mesa. So the maps are really good here and this is going to virtually simulate 
the climb. Uh if you were to be on this right now, you could do the same climb as the uh the Pro 
Cyclist are. So they’ve got a nice little lead up the road. And this group you’re seeing here is 
the group that is up the road. Uh we’re going to   jump back to the Gort Jordan group here. Should be 
six riders here, I believe. Six riders there. Uh, they are a little bit behind, though. Okay, 
they’re not that far behind. What I like to do is I like to kind of take a look at the map in 
the bottom corner here. There’s a really crazy   switch back there, isn’t there? That’s going 
to be a good location to view them there. And we’re going to bump back up to Primos here. Wow, 
these cars are actually really close together. The other riders are just a little bit 
behind in these trees back here. I think   uh I’m going to jump back again to uh here. 
Let’s jump to Luke Plap just because I think he’s an awesome time trialist. Yeah, these 
guys are not far behind at all. In fact,   it says uh they’re only a couple 
hundred meters up the road. So maybe when we get to that switch back, I’ll 
jump back there again, guys. That’s bike terrier   you’re looking at there. Uh, it’s a great way 
to track the race and also for you to work out at home if you guys want to get into inside 
cycling at all. Um, let’s see where we are. Okay, there it is right there, guys. So, that’s that’s 
the what I just said was the crazy little switch   back. Look at how close together the road gets 
there on that switch back. I’ll jump back into uh Bike Terra at that point there. And Bike 
Terra dudes, Matt and Anzo, thank you so much for supporting the channel yesterday. Uh it’s kind 
of like the newest, the latest and the greatest of um the inside cycling platforms. I haven’t 
done a lot of riding on it. I’ve done more   race coverage than I have riding on it. Uh but I 
have done uh kind of a flattish cl ride ride and I did a hill climb up Mount Palomar on it. 
Okay. Uh sorry guys, falling behind again. Yeah. Uh FK89 Green. Yeah, multiple teams need to 
team up against the big powerhouse of uh UAE right now. So, I’m going to keep a close eye on that. 
14 riders in the front group, Jordan Jagat group, which was six. We saw that over on Bera. Uh 
so, they’re getting data from the transponders from the uh world tour cyclists here and they’re 
showing it in their world. And I think the plan in the future is and guys, I’m not a spokesman. I 
don’t represent Bike Terra. I’d love to. Um, yeah, UAE sitting on the front, two of them. Uh, then it 
looks like at least six Vizma riders there. Five, six Visma riders. Pogy just a little bit 
further back. Uh, Vizma looks really well represented right now here. Plet on the front. 
He’s not going to last that long. He’s way too big. I don’t even know if he’ll be able to 
lead all the way over the top of the Glandon. Uh, okay. Don, exactly. You just summarized every HGTV 
show. I stopped watching those two, but my friends still watch. Yeah, they’re just hilarious. They 
get some expert renovator and real estate guy. Oh,   you’re trying to sell your home? Yeah, it’s not 
going to sell for that much, but give me $15,000 cash and we’ll sell it for three times what 
you originally thought it was worth. Huh? Put   on a slap of paint here. Put some Put $38 worth of 
throw pillows down. We’ll put some new rugs down. Yeah, it’s going to be worth triple its price and 
people buy into this stuff. It’s all fake. Um, I guess we all need our mindless uh addictions. 
Oh, wow. I’m behind, guys. Let me catch up. Let me catch up. Oo, I am really behind now. Uh, you 
guys are talking a lot. Someone’s just asking about bike ter. I’m lost, guys. Okay. Does Pogy 
try to win all three climbs or just the last one? Fred Fred Vice Fred Weiss. Uh I think Pogy just 
wants to win the last one cuz that’s the one that he’s lost time on on two different occasions 
in the past. Him and Yonas are going to stick together. Uh it would be epic to see Vizma go 
early, but there’s a huge gamble in that. What if it doesn’t work? What if they blow themselves 
up? Remember guys too is we got these really   technical descents coming up. They’re going to be 
high speed. If the rains come, it could get even worse. Watching the front group now. I can see 
Lenny Martin is struggling on the back end of it. See the the Norwegian rider there from UNOX just 
hanging off the back too. Let me catch up here. Um FK talking FK Green talking to Uncle Maddie 
because the GC can have someone up there who was resting while waiting for their leader to provide 
support meaning to give a wheel for a draft. Yep.   So those Vizma riders kind of like what we saw on 
the Bond two camparts was up the road. He was able to like oh boss is coming. I’m going to slow down 
right now. When he gets here I’m going to bury   myself for a couple of minutes. Uh it’s basically, 
you know, a physical draft and it’s also what I call the mental draft. I got a teammate here. 
He doesn’t have a teammate. Uh yeah, looks like good five or six Visma riders there. Pelaton just 
grinding his way up. Uh Enrich Moss riding way on the right side of the road right now. Kind of 
drifting back hard right now. Looks like Mass   is not feeling that good right now. Not able to 
hang with that the GC Pelaton. GC Pelaton right now has uh 23 riders in it. Uh great move here. 
Smart Felix Gaul getting up here. Primos getting up here. Ben O’ Conor Arenssman. These guys 
are off to the races right now. It’s not a huge lead. Uh but it’s developing. Neil’s Plet just 
grimacing away. How long can he hang in there? Uh, Don, the name I remember from the time trials 
is Remco for the first one and Luke Plop for the   second one. Yeah, Luke Plop had a really good 
ride. Luke Plop was really fast in the first one. Kind of died at the very end. He his time 
held up all day at the second one, too. Uh, Remco did a great job as well. You’re right. Uh, 
proud of the tour to object to kick uh, Johan out. They didn’t have to do that. Good for them. 
Yeah, it’s just he’s got a lifetime buying from cycling. It’s kind of like Lance George Henapy’s 
trying to start a new uh prolevel continental team which they want to take pro I think I read by 20 I 
think they said 20 sorry pro world tour team they want to be at the tour to France well I guess they 
don’t even need to be world tour you can get in on   a wild card uh there’s only 18 world tour teams 
and they’re all fighting for relegation every year every point is important some people say 
well it’s over uh you get points I think it goes all the way down to 15th. So, winning the tour to 
France, you’re going to get 1,300 uh UCI points. Winning a stage, I think, is 210. And there’s 
points for each stage and each placing as well. Uh holding the leader jersey. Oh, wow. There’s the 
dam in front of us. Holy crap. It’s like they’re riding up to wall. Yeah, I’m sure I’ve done part 
of this climb over on Ruby before, guys. Let’s uh And I saw someone ask about Bike Terra again. 
Probably a good time for me to jump over there   right now. I’m not in it. Okay, so they’re getting 
to the switch back. Actually, the main group is probably on that switch back. They are main group 
is on that switch back. Just so you guys can see it here. Uh I’m going to turn it on right away. 
Give me one second and then I got to get to the   the chat again. So here’s the main group on 
the switchback. This is our leading group, the Lenny Martinez group. Most of the jerseys, 
they try to do the jerseys as close as they can   to the teams. Um, obviously there’s no polka dot 
jersey. We need a polka dot jersey, guys. Anselow, let’s get coding, bro. Let’s get coding. Just 
kidding, dude. You’re doing a great job. So,   here’s that crazy switch back I was talking 
about. Bottom right hand corner, guys. Obviously, it’s leveling out here on the switchback. 4% 
gradient. Here’s that dam. This is the Grand   uh Mason behind it. There’s actually looks 
like there’s a walking path up here. So, maybe it’s more of like an earthn dam. I imagine 
it’s something like that. Uh, if we go down the road a little bit so you can see the crazy switch 
back here. Here it is, guys. Here’s that crazy   switch back. I’m in control of the camera here. 
This is what I love. This is me doing all this professional camera work, guys. It’s incredible. 
They’re slowing down hard on the switchback. 7 km an hour. That’s their actual speed over 
on the left hand side. Uh, 6% gradient here. Now, what I want to show you guys, there’s 
another group coming. There’s another group   coming up right now. Uh it’s the Jag group. 
They’re only Wow, they’re only 60 meters back. You guys might have just seen them here. If I zoom 
back around, there they are. So according to this,   these two groups are coming together. Uh we 
won’t see the GC group because they are too far back right now. Okay, I think I just jumped 
on the wrong person there. Okay, always like Okay, I’m on the Norwegian here. And Lechnusend. 
Uh the GC group is only 500 meters back, but it ends up being like a minute and a half of 
road time. So, can we see where they are? Let’s   just go to Tatty here. They’re way way down low 
in the valley system. You can see that on the map, too, guys. So, you you kind of got to take a look 
at this the road and then take a look at over the pro the map in the bottom corner here. So, they’re 
down low in the valley and you can actually see if you look at this road here, the hill on the left 
hand side, that’s the switch back. They’re going   to be going up in the opposite direction. So, I 
think that’s really cool to see. They’re going to And you can see the switchback coming up right 
here. We’re just going to hang out with them for   a second. I’m going to have a sip of coffee. Uh, I 
will put my pro cameraman skills to work here and we will be zooming around them. We’re up in the 
trees. Helicopter view here. Coming around now. They’re on the hard switch back. Uh, really tight 
switch back here. if we were to jump up ahead. So, 600 meters up the road, we got Barry by himself. 
I’m going to try to remember all this and see if when I jump back to the standings, that’s what 
we see. Um, yeah, let me just jump back, guys. Looks like things kind of got messed up there a 
little bit. Anyway, guys, if you like Bike Terra,   just tell them in the chat. Please do that. I want 
them to see this. They’re super nice guys. Um, so here we go. Here’s the Raja group at the front. So 
it said the Jordan Jagat group was close. It was within 15 seconds here. It’s saying, uh, okay. 
William Bart is in between. Uh, and then it’s 1 minute 48 seconds back to the GC group, which 
has grown in size. I got to catch up on the chat, guys. Let’s just let this sit stagnant for now. 
Uh, everything looks pretty stable. Uh, okay. Matty’s saying that Cav has tree trunks. We’re 
like, yeah, definitely. Upgrade your mind. So, we just did our bike ter review and upgrade your 
mind. I know Andrew here, I think it’s Andrew   Moss. I know he was actually viewing from home 
on bike terror himself. Guys, you can do that, too. You guys can log into bike terror right now. 
Why don’t you do that? It’s just a browser. You   don’t got to install anything. You don’t got 
to sign up for anything. I don’t think so. Uh, you don’t got to commit to anything. You don’t 
got to give them a credit card, nothing. Um,   just jump in there and go to events and look for 
TDF8, stage 18. Uh, Matt and Anelow would love it. Uh, what would they say with that age gap? Okay, 
I’m missing that. I missed something here. Uh, you’ve mentioned Mark Caendish. Was it him who has 
the most stage wins all time? Yeah, Mark Cavendish   has 35 stage wins and his last stage win was his 
last year with Estana. Correct me if I’m wrong, guys. Was he with Estana when he won? His last 
stage win. Yeah, he might have been. He might have been, dude. Uh, and you know what? When he 
was catching up to Eddie Mks, there was a couple years where he got none. Like, no stage wins. Uh, 
and then he picked up at the very end. And again, it was one of those cases where, oh, he’s 
too old. He needs to retire. Nah, he doesn’t,   man. He just set the record. Yeah, Tatty can break 
it eventually, but Tatty’s got to stick around. Uh, Jr. here from Lafia. Yeah, it’s been raining 
all over Europe. Yeah, there will be rain today, guys. There’s going to be rain today. 13 riders in 
the front group. Jordan Degraph now got eight. 1 minute back to uh the yellow jersey group. Uh 
from front to back, green jerseys is actually doing pretty good. It’s only 7 minute 7 and a 
half minutes from the front to the back. So,   I thought it would have been a lot more 
catastrophic for them. Uh good job for those guys back. There’s 52 riders back there. 
Gashinard. Yeah, this guy here, he survived the von two by himself somehow. Quinn Simmons is back 
there today, guys. Looks like Quinn’s not going on a break today. It could be a rest day for him. 
By resting I mean climb 5,500 meters of the three hardest climbs at the tur of Francis here. That’s 
a rest day for Quinn Simmons. Manimal. Uh yeah, Uncle Matty. Yep. Correct. Robert kind of 
a hypocritical world. Yeah, I think we’re   talking about Johan again. Tom here. Tom Bonan. I 
want to see. Yeah, I just want to say Tom Bonan, dude. Tom Boone. Uh today only needs to sit on 
Yonas’s wheel till the last climb. Yep. That’s   what he’s going to do, which we’ve seen him do on 
several occasions. Just keep the GC guys close to attacks with it. Yeah, exactly. Uh, you know, 
people say Vizma might be right. Like Yonas is being defensive at this point, too. Uh, Pogy’s 
being defensive. That’s all he needs to do. He   just needs to be defensive. The Vizma strategy 
is that he tires and they can take advantage of it. Uh, guys, go on Pro Cycling Stats and 
look up his point standings in the world. He has more than twice the other riders points do. 
Uh he’s got over 13,000 UCI points. Uh I think Ramco has 5,500. So far and away the best cyclist 
over the last year, over the last several years. Um dying the hair. Drug testing has advanced a 
lot since then. One guy shaved his head before a drug test at a job I was at in 1997, but 
they plucked an arm here and said, “Yeah,   that’s a good idea.” Uh Ian Holmes back from the 
Philippines. Hey buddy, Sunday is with Meetup. Okay, Ian, let’s try that. Sundays with Meetup. 
Uh, we’ll have to get it figured out because   I will be doing final stage and actually the 
stage starts later that day, guys. It doesn’t start till after 8:00 in the morning for me. Uh, 
so Ian, let’s try to figure something out. Ian,   you should try my whoosh. Free to try, guys. Free 
to try my whoosh. Uh, there’s no cost to ride that one. If you like I would say if you like swift, 
you’re going to like my whoosh. There’s two camps. There’s the graphics camp and there’s the video 
camp. So, Ruvie is the video camp. I think Kenom does some videos. Full Gas used to do videos, 
too. Full Gas is now owned by Ruvie. Uh, so a lot of Iron Man triathlon stuff in there, guys. I 
mean, I’ve been riding Ruby for over three and a half years now. So, I do know a lot about it. Um, 
but yeah, they’re all videos. Zift is graphics, uh, closed worlds. My whoosh has got really, 
really good graphics if you got a good PC. Uh, it’s got the best graphics out there, but I 
think even for my uh, yeah, it’s 30 something gigs install for my whoosh HD. It’s worth it though. 
Uh, Dawn, this route is diabolical. Three tough climbs. Each one is harder than the last. Uh, 
yeah, totally, totally. Uh, this guy here, uh, outdoorsman. I love guys like this. Outdoorsman 
all day. Show the damn live feed. What a waste.   These are the guys that give me dislikes on the 
channel, guys. Joey asked me last. She goes, “Why would people give you 10 dislikes?” She asked 
me. I’m like, “I don’t know.” Cuz I don’t look at   that. Uh, dude, go pay for a subscription. How 
about that, so I’ll be as nice as I can. Yep. Dawn, thank you. Outdoorsman. He can’t show the 
live feed. Yeah, it’s called copyright, bro. Um, and it actually and and Joey Jojo spent her time 
uh a lot of time in the comments. Obviously, people don’t read the description. It’s we’re not 
showing the live feed. When I’m allowed to show   you video, I will. Um, it’s more of a watch along 
party, a chat party, an audio party. I’m showing what’s going on on the race. Uh, and I know 
everyone here appreciates it. So, okay guys, uh, we’re passing that. We are getting to the top 
of the glandon real quick here. That’ll be   a good time to be jumping back into Berra. 
Yeah, there was a guy yesterday that said, “Show the live feature.” He must have said 
it 20 times. And someone here piped up. Dude,   chill out. Uh, so whoever that was, thank 
you. And Don, thanks for jumping in there. Um, Outdoorsman all day. It It cost me $16 a month 
to have low bikes. You’re welcome to do the same, dude. Actually, I think Peacock’s even cheaper 
than that. Uh, I’m feisty this morning. Uh, the lead group is strong, man. This is from 
Brett. If they work together, who knows what   Roick could do. So cool to see the go uh guys 
throwing caution win. Panache baby. Oh yeah, I love the panache. Yeah, Brett, you word of the 
day by by Brett here. Exactly. The the front group is very strong. Felix Gaul. Uh Roick here. And 
actually when I was doing some research yesterday, I think Felix Gaul when he was at AG2R Leondiel 
when it was the the brown shorts with white and red on them. I think he was a guy that 
did very well at the uh cold deoz. I don’t know if it was the tour or maybe a different 
race, but that’s a strong group in the front. Very strong group in the front. Uh big winner 
there would be Felix Gaul and Primos right now. So, okay. So, I’m just going to these comments 
like that. I’m just ignoring them. I thought I’d even waste my time and just delete that comment, 
but I don’t care. Uh moving on, guys. Moving on, onwards and upwards. Let the haters hate. Uh 
Tom Boon here. There’s a very good chance that Tedai and Jonas are the only ones at the start 
or very shortly into the final climb. Yeah, dude. It might be just the two of 
them all the way to the top. Uh God,   could you imagine that? The two of them just 
riding side by side for like an hour and 15 minutes cuz that’s probably what it’s going to 
take, that final climb. Uh June here saying, “Watch Pogy on the climb to call them out of 
line.” So June thinks Pog is going to go on the   Maline. Okay, Don. Uh Pog has wings up these 
mountains. Brent Mccor Brett McCormack here, dude. Welcome aboard. He’s in New Zealand. 
Been following the tour since 1985. So   are the Bernardi. No, Greg Lamont. Uh Andy 
Hamston. Fantastic years, dude. Uh Lav Cla, that’s the jersey I wear on Zift. There’s a jersey 
on Zift. Uh it looks just like the Lavy Claire video uh jersey. My favorite jersey to wear. Um 
Robertson like actually following. I think he’s talking about that. Brett, that is the that is 
awesome. I have been watching since ‘ 86. Yeah,   guys, that’s when I started watching too. I 
would say probably 85 86. And by watching again, it was that 15minute highlight reel. YouTube was 
not even thought about yet. The internet didn’t   exist. It was 15 minutes every Sunday like ABC Y 
World of Sports or something. And then in Calgary, the mall, I remember going to Sunidge Mall all the 
time, constantly looking for the latest edition of uh Winning Magazine because they’d have 
race reports in there. Like I didn’t know   when Winning Magazine came out. Now you can 
probably find out, hey guys, we just released a new edition. Uh digital comes out today. Print 
copy comes tomorrow. You can find it out. Back   then there was no way to even find out. It was 
just like I would just go there and check. Ah, it’s not out yet. Okay, I’ll go back tomorrow. Do 
it again. It was just like a daily affair for me. Uh Tomboy and everything he has into it if he 
wants any chance at yellow. Yeah, Jonas has to go today. And guys, this is how Yonas has kind of 
done it in the past. Send the team up the road. The team has to be strong uh for him to stand up 
against Tatty and hope Tatty’s a little bit tired. Lurker. Rick, he’s a lurker. He’s definitely a 
lurker. uh working and listening from Columbus, North Carolina, USA. Nice job. And 
it takes a team to put it together.   All the best to you and everyone listening. 
Yeah, thanks, dude. Really appreciate the uh donation today. Love it. Uh definitely 
a couple coffees. The coffees I drink,   that’s probably about 10 of them, bro. Uh I’m a 
$1.99 kind of coffee guy. Uh it’s all good. So, we got 13 riders in our front group, guys, with 
almost a one minute gap over uh Jagat here. Let’s have a quick peek back over here. See where we 
are. Wow, we’re still getting there, aren’t we? Okay, this might be a good time to uh possibly 
jump back into this. Shagat Group is just back here. Oo, they’re pretty close. They’re like one 
corner back from them. Okay, let’s see if I should jump in here or not. I think I’m going to wait 
just a little bit longer right now. Back to the leading group. They’re 300 meters up the road. 
Here’s Primos. Primo’s the man coming through the switch back now guys. I am going to jump back 
here right now. Uh go to the window capture there.   Back to bike terror again. I told the boys over at 
bike terror too. Uh I said I’m going to use this a lot during these stages just so people can 
figure out what we’re looking at. Guys, this   is our lead group. Uh I believe it’s 13 riders 
up there. Let me do that quickly. 13 riders in that front group. Actually, it does say 12 rides 
in the front group. Um, I think they can only they’re only displaying 12 now. Uh, I think they 
have the ability to display more because I noticed uh Anelow was showing some video over on Berra 
and uh there was a lot more riders. So, it must have something to do with resource usage. Emanuel 
Bookman struggling again here. Okay, he’s riding like he’s in his top gear right now. Guarantee 
you he’s stuck in his highest gear right now. I I mean he’s doing like 10 revolutions per 
minute. So guys, they have electronic gearing and uh if the battery’s dead, if something comes 
disconnected, some of them are wireless. Uh they won’t have any shifting available. Let 
me just jump back into this for a second. I   want to show you what’s going on. Here we are 
going through uh the call to glandon right now. This is going to be the summit coming up 
right away. Here you can see the switch back.   So we still got to work through them here. uh 
2% grade through this section. It’s wide open, too. Uh I’m looking at the video stream, too. 
It’s just wide open. And that’s exactly what’s over here. There’s no trees being shown here on 
uh by Terra right now. So, it’s picking up the   map data really good. So, we’ve got our group 
of 12 up front and further down the road. We’re going to jump back to the Jagat group. They’re 
only 250 m back. Here’s Jordan Jagat. Now, it’s going to populate those guys in. The 
other riders are just around the bend up here. So, take a look here at the switchbacks. 
There’s the call to Glandon there. Let me get back to the front to Primos again. And 
you can see where they are on the map. So,   they’re actually starting. They’re descending 
now. They’ve already crested the top. Uh, guys, going to jump back here for a second. I want to 
see who got over the top there. I’m sure Lenny   Martinez was fighting for those points. Going to 
jump back in here now. Uh, do we have any data? Yeah, I did see Wellins taking a new bike there. I 
actually I saw him slowing down. So, Wellins took   a new bike before the summit. Okay, the leading 
group is less than two minutes ahead of the yellow jersey group with 2K to go to the summit. That’s 
a little bit delayed, guys. Uh they’re descending now. Primos group is gone. Uh they’re now 
descending 12% gradient going down. So, as steep going down as it is coming up, remember you can 
guys too. That’s I I keep always saying this. Uh, wow, we did the glandon. Well, you did half the 
glandon because you got to come up the other side,   too. If you want to mark it off your bucket list, 
you got to do both ascents. And they all got rated differently, too. So, we’ve got three groups 
descending the glandon right now. Front group   of 13 riders. Second group, Bodin and uh Frank 
Vanderbrook. Uh, third group is the Jagat. I think these groups are busting apart. Jagat, Rodriguez, 
Berth, William Barta, and Luke Plap. Luke’s doing a great job today hanging up there. And then our 
yellow jersey group. 23 riders. Lipoitz. Lipoitz did get into a break really early on today, but it 
didn’t uh sustain itself. Right now on the front, we got three UAE riders and then I’m seeing six 
Vizma riders. One more UAE guy and then Pogy. Uh Pavo Civicov looks like he’s having more issues. 
So unfortunate for UAE because they kind of need him up there. Uh he had an issue earlier. So we’re 
just going to let these guys. They’re going to be rolling downhill here. I’m going to watch the 
ascent of the GC group. See if anything goes   off. Nothing’s going to go off here. They’re not 
going to attack this early. There’s no way. So we got Rick. He’s the lurker. One of the lurkers. 
375 people watching, guys. Thank you so much.   like if you can. Uh, let’s get this video out 
to everyone out there and see how I do things around here. Oh, check this dude out. I love it. 
The abstract poetic. Yo, from the UK, dude. Yo, back to YouTube, bro. Yo, back to YouTube. Wide 
openen descent here, guys. Yeah, this road is just nuts. We like again, we don’t build roads 
like these here. Uh Tom, I was saying Yonas has to attack and hope that I cannot keep up. If he 
wants any shot at yellow, it’s not an easy stage. Anything could happen. Thank you, Tom. That’s what 
I’ve been saying. Uh if Pogy finds himself alone,   he can sit on Yonas’s wheel. Yeah, it’s just 
a matter of how does Pogy feel today? How are his legs? I don’t think Yonas is any better than 
Pogy. And probably if he’s equal, that’s a maybe. um he’s probably like just one step down from 
Pogy overall in like true cycling ability. But if Pogy just feels tired uh or just feels a little 
off, well then it all changes. That’s the hope for Vizma right now. Uh the infamous finish at Alp 
Lemon cross the line together, arms around each other in sol show of solidarity except you know 
managed to get his wheel in front for the win.   Yeah, it’s like all stage. I think they absolutely 
wanted to kill each other back then, dude. Uh, upgrade your mind. Andrew here saying, “Your 
channel’s blowing up, dude.” Yeah, it’s rolling   right now. Rolling, rolling. I saw those guys 
with Metallica. Loved them. Never thought I’d like their music. I loved it. Uh, dude, Tom here 
is new to the channel from Indiana, USA. So, Tom, yeah, it’s it’s great. New people are coming 
in every day. And, you know, Joey goes, “Well,   is there any new people?” I go, “There’s new 
people every day. Every day there’s new people and it’s amazing to me um that people like this 
format. They like the interaction. Uh it’s not just me telling you exactly how the race went 
cuz you guys are seeing how the race went too. Some of you can’t see it because you’re working. 
Ooh, super sketch here. I don’t know what that rider was thinking. Who was that? Are you kidding 
me, dude? You hit him. Two riders descending. Um, I can’t I can’t tell who this is. It was a a 
rider in a red jersey and then a rider in a   black jersey, and they were both going into 
a right-hand bend. The rider on the outside decides to basically NASCAR his way into the 
rider on the inside of the bend, bumps him on a high-speed descent. Then the rider that did 
the banging throws his arm up in the air. Dude, you messed that up. I’d love to. The camera car 
is sticking on him right now. I There might be a penalty for that later. That was dangerous. And uh 
yeah, I still can’t tell who it is. He’s got a It looks like he might have put a jacket on for the 
descent. Uh yeah, that was super sketchy there, guys. Super sketchy. So Tom, welcome aboard from 
Indiana. Uh so Lernito, uh public computers. Oh, Loi, why aren’t you able to show some of this? 
Dude, it’s all copyright protected. The second   I show the real race, my channel goes down. So, I 
can show you updates. I can tell you what’s going on. Uh, think of it like an audio commentary 
when you’re listening to like a football game,   a baseball game, soccer game, except I’m seeing 
it. I’ve got all the data on screen here for you. Uh, I can show you the groups. I can show you a 
visual representation as to where they are on the   course. Unfortunately, that’s all I’m allowed to 
do right now. Maybe when the channel gets bigger, uh, I’ll get to the point where I’ll have access 
to, uh, some of the feed. Uh, the channel needs to grow. There are channels that do have access. 
This descent is super sketch, guys. It’s like this lane that goes down here, and I’m calling it 
a lane. Uh, it’s barely a road. It’s maybe one car wide. I don’t know how people drive in this 
part of the world. It’s patched up everywhere. The cameraman’s hanging out with this dude that 
just did the uh the bike ramming before. I don’t Maybe this guy’s just not a good descender. 
The guy that he hit is further down the road   right now. Probably a good couple hundred yards 
ahead. And they’re all spread out here. Uh wow, look at this. We started the day at 22 degrees. 
We’re descending. It’s going to warm up. It’s 13° at this point right now. It was probably cooler 
at the top. I missed the temperature. It’s 13.7°   right now. We’ll probably be back to Dak down to 
20° in the bottom of the valley. Let’s just see. Yeah, dude. I wish I could show you more once 
the channel grows and I get more connections and I talk to more people. Uh like I said, I’m 
I’m already talking to I guess I don’t know what to call them, like the Project Echelon dudes. Uh 
I’ve covered their racing before, talking more about covering their virtual inside cycling 
over the winter. And these guys are pros. Um, they ride their bikes inside in the wintertime. 
Uh, continental continental level teams. Uh, Fred here, Fred Vice saying, “Long day for you, 
Colin. Thanks for the early start at 4:10. How   many hours are sleep?” Dude, uh, I set my 
alarm for 3:30, but I was out of bed by 3. It was just like, dude, if I fall back into a 
deep sleep now, I’m going to feel even worse,   so I might as well just get up. This is how 
my brain works. Uh, 13 riders up front, guys. Raj killing it today. Then we got Lechnesend. 
Looks like he’s had some trouble on the descent.   He was in that group. Badin, Frank Vanderbrook and 
Bodin here. Uh bouncing back to the Jordan Jagat group. There was five earlier. There still is. 
Um and then we’ve got the uh GC leaders at 215. Let’s see where the green jersey is. Looks like 
they might be just over the top now. We got some drop riders. Uh we’ve got uh the GC group nine 
minutes almost 10 minutes behind. I was overly uh pessimistic and I said they might be 15 minutes 
behind at the top. Uh so they’re doing not bad. Not bad at all. Okay, let’s take a look at the uh 
the map here. You can see what’s going on, guys. It’s not very long. They go down into the valley 
uh and then they start climbing immediately. Let’s take a look uh here again. I just want to 
show you the profile, guys, of the route itself. There’s your route today. So, we’ve just came 
off the uh call to gland. Uh we’re bombing down through here right now. We’re probably 70k into 
the race at this point. Let’s have a take a look at that. Uh remaining uh 100k remaining. So, we’re 
about 70k into the race. It does level off for a little bit here. Uh you can see they’re they’re 
on this little plateau area here. Uh St. Columbian des villards. Uh then they drop down even more. 
Then they immediately start climbing. They’re only in the valley for 3, four, five kilometers 
where it’s flattish. Flattish air quotes. Get that coffee on that warmer. I don’t know why I’m 
holding it. Uh yeah. So let’s catch up, guys. Yeah, dude. Totally long day. I think I probably 
creeped downstairs at nine o’clock last night uh into the basement with these early starts. I 
do everything down here. So, I kind of like just   went and hung out with the uh the TV on in the 
basement. I don’t know, dude. Like, I was waking up a lot. Maybe I got like a good consistent four 
to five hours of sleep. It’s not bad, but uh I’ll tell you one thing. After I’m done this, it feels 
like I’ve already put in a full day. So, yeah, just 3:00 is hard is a hard start time. Um, and 
yeah, later on tonight, I’ll be a train wreck. Yeah, corporate is soon as you like a jingle. 
Anything that you show will be put down. Uh, I see all these other people from all over the 
world. Uh, just showing the full coverage. It just gets crushed. I’m trying to to grow the channel, 
guys. I’m trying to make like a community here.   I’m not just trying to rip off the tour to France. 
Um, yeah. Robert St. June Colin can’t show live coverage for League. He would get shut down within 
hour. Yeah. And they get shut down over and over,   guys. Guys create new channels, they just get shut 
down. I’m kind of like, what’s the point? Like, what do you get out of this? For me, I’ve 
got this cool community going on here. Super   smart cycling fans. Uh, it’s so much fun. Uh, Tom 
from Indiana’s been watching since the Armstrong days. It attracted many Americans for cycling, 
especially the tour to France. Now, I’m hooked. Uh, after it’s over, I feel at a loss. Lol. Tom, 
stick around. Uh we’re doing the tour of France uh fems a Zswift. It starts on Saturday. So I will 
be going full guns on that starting on the Monday. Uh and that’s only because I can’t do the two 
at the same time. I’ll do a catchup preliminary before I live stream on Monday. That goes through 
I think till the following Sunday. Uh then guys, there’s a ton of races after that. But don’t 
forget we got the VA coming up in August 2. So,   if you love tour to France style racing, stage 
racing, 3 weeks, the toughest climbs out there, uh the VA is the next big thing. You’ll 
see a lot of these same riders at the VA. Uh hopefully Pogy doesn’t go to the Valta and uh 
go he who knows he might I don’t think he’s won of Welta. Has Pogy won of Welta? Okay, here it’s 
showing that rider with that black jersey on. Yeah, I don’t know if that was him cuz there’s a 
JCO rider. Was that Ben O’ Conor? He’s got a black uh jacket on covering up his purple jersey for 
JCO Alula. Ian here saying looks like a good race so far. Yeah, it’s been really good so 
far. Big winners right now. Primos Felix Gaul uh way at the front. They now have a twom minute 
30 second gap over the GC pelaton what you know a few kilometers on a really hard climb that could 
easily all be pulled back. Uh trying to catch up. Yeah, Armstrong days were really good. Uh all the 
coverage ON versus Discovery Channel like they dominated for Tour to France coverage back then. 
That was just part of my normal cable package or satellite package back then. So, I didn’t even 
feel like I was paying for it. It was just like, okay, I’m getting this with all my other channels. 
Yeah, this is great. Now, they want you to pay for   that one channel, which is why a lot of people 
don’t want to anymore. Uh, Doug, true. It’ll be a while before another American went through to 
France. Yeah, I don’t know who it would be right   now. It’s more of a stage racers right now for the 
Americans. Uh, who knows though. Don saying, “Uh, bike chair looks cool.” Guys, I think it’s super 
useful. Uh, and just imagine you could ride the call to Glendon at home inside. And I think I was 
talking about earlier today. Uh, I don’t know if you can right now. You could ride the stage today 
with the pros if you wanted. They’re going to make   it so that you can recall that this stage of all 
the riders and you can ride with them. And I think they’re making it too that you can uh slide along 
the course. Obviously, you’re not going to keep up with Pogy and Yonas. Maybe you could jump on your 
bike first thing in the morning when you’re fresh and say, “I want to take up Poggy on the Calder 
Oops.” Just to see how crazy it would look. And so you can attempt to keep up. you would just 
slide your dude along the map and say, “I’m   starting here. Go.” Uh, and just see how quickly 
you get blown out of the water. It’ be really great training. Uh, Uncle Matty, I would love to 
see Woodsy, Alf, Philippe, Van Art, and someone else go for a breakaway on the second climb. Get 
a bunch of time ahead for the last climb. Yeah,   I’d love it, too. I love a good breakaway, Maddie. 
Uh, Stan Stan. Okay. Stan Stanley or is it Stan Lee? Stanley. We got Stanley. We got another 
Stanley here. Um, Stanley looks like a lurker. He’s brand new here today. Welcome aboard, dude. 
Um, yeah, I’m way behind, guys. I’m sorry. Um, where is Vingo? Vingo is safely in what I call the 
GC group. Uh, it’s a group of right now. It was 43 riders a few minutes ago. It’s 33 riders now. Him 
and Pogy are just keeping an eye on each other. Uh, can’t lie. This is Tom again from Can’t 
lie. I’d love to see Primos on the podium.   Likely third. Pogy is my guy. And no one can deny 
Yonas’s ability. So Primos third. I love Julian Alipe. He’s so Yeah, dude. Uh I think Brett said 
it earlier. Pache. That’s uh Julian Alipe right there. Defined. He is the Pache rider. Um yeah, 
I love that guy. Iard’s back. Morning folks. Is Felix Gaul related to Charlie G? No, I don’t 
think he is. Not the Angel of the Mountains. Uh, and I think what was it? Charlie Gaul. I 
think he was like uh I think he’s in the 50s, like 57 or something like that. Yeah, Yonas is 
just hanging out with Pogy right now. Oh wow, guys. I’m really behind. I’m sorry. You guys are 
just giving her in the chat today. Oh my. Okay, I’m It seems like I’m just going back forever. 
Going back. Okay, Stanley. Okay, there’s Stanley.   Dude, thanks for being here. Dawn’s back, too. 
Newbie tour question. If the teams had a salary cap on the writers, would that even out the 23 
to a point where you don’t have just a couple of   really dominant teams to make it more competitive? 
Um, I talked about this early in the tour because Don I Yeah, the salary caps are kind of weird to 
There is no salary cap. So, some teams are walking   around spending 60 million euros. Other teams are 
spending 15. There’s teams here, probably some of the wild card teams, UNOX in particular, that 
spend even less than that. What are we looking   at here on replay? Ooh, someone bailing on one of 
the switchbacks. I don’t know which group this is right now. Uh, Muellberger. He was in the front 
group and he hit hard. It looked like it was one of those crashes where his tire caught an edge 
and just flipped them. You know when you see   a motorbike do that, like a GP racing motorbike, 
they just go around a corner, they catch an edge, and the guy is instantly flipped and down. He hit 
the ground hard. It was a tight switch back so it wasn’t like he was going 80k an hour but yeah 
that hurt him for sure. So Muellberger will be   separated out of that group. I think he was in 
this group. Wow. Uh the descent is busting that group apart. Only three riders in the group. Roger 
group a little bit further back. Um Mu Muleberger now is with Martinez and Lechnesend. So yeah, 
he did hit the ground pretty hard there though. Uh yeah, someone else talked about if there’s 
a salary cap, it’s going to breed mediocrity.   Um I guess yeah, like when you got the 
most money, you can’t have the best team. I would like to see a salary cap. 
Someone else suggested no salary cap,   but maybe a point system. So kind of like, 
you know, when you do your fantasy leagues, if you I don’t know if you do a tour 
to France fantasy league or not,   but there’s a point system. It’s just the 
same as when you do your football league, your hockey league, your baseball, basketball 
league, whatever. You can’t just stack your team   with every single best NBA player. Uh because 
everyone would do that. You got a point system to try to think smart and strategize it. Maybe 
no salary cap, but a point system for you can bring 300 points worth of riders to this tour. 
Uh you can bring 200 to this single day race. Um, otherwise, yeah, let’s say I had unlimited 
money. Yeah, I’m going to throw a billion dollars   at this. Why not? Uh, my name is uh Elon Musk 
and I just want to blow my money on stuff. I would just have every best writer on my team, pay 
them all $50 million a year, win everything. Uh, Will Barta in the lead group, not a rookie. 29 
from Boise. Matteo, too. Don’t know much about uh Barta. Yeah, I don’t either, actually. I know he’s 
an American. Um, he is at the front. Movar rider. Uh, Vizmo was saying pre-race being down 
over for they have to attack early. Yeah, you’d think so. You’d think they’d want 
to do something by the matala line,   but I think it’s so dangerous to do 
that. Let’s see how it plays out. Uh, uh, okay. Mike Martinez here. New guys or 
Martinez rooting for Pogy. Big hello from the Philippines. Hey dude, welcome aboard. Nice to 
have you here. Okay, so learn to uh looks like a cool dude here. Learn to log FF public computers. 
Have your staff. My staff, dude. This is it. This is it. Have your staff fill up the Doppler 
raider to figure out where the rain is. Uh yeah, dude. Where is the rain right now? 
Dude, this is a really good comment here,   dude. I appreciate it. Uh we’re just going 
to call you learn to um new guy here today. They probably are looking at the weather on 
course ahead of us with do I love looking at   uh weather radar 2. Um just seeing how it’s coming 
towards me, where the predictions are for it. and uh Doppler radarator too. That’s 
how they first started seeing   uh I think that’s how they saw tornadoes. You can 
find tornadoes very easy with Doppler radar and uh tornadoes that you never see really is I 
guess what I’m trying to say. They could see   where the weather is. Good point, dude. Learn to 
here and then maybe figure out do we need to send riders now to get ahead of that weather. 
Uh yeah, that’s a very interesting point. Uh good point. June Brony here, dude. This guy’s 
back. Uh, Lenny Marters can win. Best climber. I think he’s tied with Pogy at Yeah, he is tied with 
Pogy at 60 right now. And actually, let’s go back here. Let’s see what we got for points. I never 
did that. Oo, so Lenny definitely is in the lead   right now. He got 20 points over the front of the 
Gondon. I wasn’t on that when that happened. So, he has 80 points now. And Pogy should have none 
through there. Uh, it went from 20 points down to two points. It looks looks like they only 
paid points down to eight eight positions. Uh why am I stuck on this now? Okay, there we go. 
I’m out. They’re in the bottom of the valley now,   guys. Uh 88 km remaining. Two riders there. 
This is all going to come back together. Uh that front batch of riders, that 1315 riders, 
the Jordan Jagat group might get on. Uh if we go to the map mode here, you can see where 
we start climbing the mataline right away.   Uh it won’t be long here. We’re just 
down in the valley system here. Now, here’s the river coming through the small French 
village and we start climbing right away. Ooh, look at this here, guys. Okay, I thought it said 
cruel. It’s Notredam de Cruette. But it would have been better if it was cruel because this looks 
like a cruel course here, guys. Uh, switchback   starting early on. Ooh, that’s a tough one. That 
is a tough one. And if we take a look at it, uh, 19.2 km at 7.9%. This one’s really going 
to hurt. This one’s really going to hurt them, guys. Uh, I’m feeling like I need another 
coffee here before the start of the mat line. Uh, Learn to still asking what the operator shows 
with regard to when it will hit. Dude, I Yeah, I’d love to know that, too. If someone else can 
figure that out, Dude, can you figure that out?   Can Learn to help the channel out here and let me 
know? 416 people watching right now, guys. Likes. Uh, again, I can’t see the likes. I have zero 
likes right now. So, if you haven’t liked yet,   do it now. I won’t even see it, but thank you so 
much in advance. Um, dude, learn to if you can, Dude, can you take a look at that? If you could, 
that’d be awesome. Uh, I just don’t have I I’ve   got three screens going right now. Uh, this looks 
like Aaron is maybe off the back, the rider he was with there. So, who is this here? Um, we’re 
looking at Jorgensson and Aaron. I think they might be together right now. Here they are. We 
got a Vizma rider way up front. Now, guys, this is kind of what Vizma wants to be thinking about. Uh 
hopefully Jorgensson is on the day of his life and he’s going to be able to do something spectacular 
later in the stage. That Inos rider there, too. Uh Inos is out for their own gains today. 
They’re not here to help Pogy. Uh they’re here to help their own gains. They just lost their 10th 
place rider the tour. This guy is in 14th place. uh time and errandsman. 14th place overall. There might be a little bit of a coalition 
here. I do want to take a look at this guys.   Uh Pogy in the lead obviously what we’re 
going to do here. So Carlos Rodriguez is not in 10th place. He did not start today. 
Next rankings. Uh that moves Jordan Jagant into 10th place. And I I don’t know when they 
made the decision to it, but I saw it already   announced. They just haven’t removed him from 
here yet. Ben Oconor moves up. Gear Martan moves up. And here’s Ty and Arensman in 14th place 
overall. Uh 4420 back. He does have a lot of time to make up. Like the next spot up is uh 9 
minutes ahead of him. To get into the top 10, he has to pull like 20 minutes back today. 
That’s possible. Absolutely possible. So, really interesting move here. So, they’ve 
already got Matteo way down the road. Oh, wow. Could we see an attack on the Maline? Uh, 
Ice Coffee for me this morning from Dawn here. Uh, we’ve got Vivani Weki here. Uh, where can 
I live watch? Dude, I can’t show you the   live video here. I my channel would be taken 
down immediately. I apologize for that. Um, it’s more of a watch party, listen along 
party. Some guys are watching from home uh and listening at the same time of There’s 
people that are watching in different parts   of the world listening to a different 
language they don’t understand and I’m trying to just give them what’s going on in 
English. Uh lots of cool cycling fans here. Uh learn to dude you’re you’re going to fit 
in here well dude. I love your comments. He   says no time for coffee breaks. You should have 
an IV bottle connected to your blood vessels to keep on talking. Dude, I talk continuously here, 
man. It’s It’s non-stop. Um, but dude, thanks for commenting and I appreciate your humor. Always 
love a little bit of fun, guys. Keep it fun. Keep it cool. You can take shots and jabs at me. Um, I 
love it. I love it. Doesn’t hurt my feelings. Uh, the only thing that kind of gets me a little bit 
is people that are mad that I can’t show the feed   all the time. If you ask a polite question why 
I can’t do that, I’m happy to answer you. Uh, I get there was a guy that asked like 20 times 
yesterday. Show the feed. Show the feed. Show the   feed. And I just kind of ignored him and someone 
else stepped in. Uh, we got uh Ken 888 here from San Jose, California. Hey dude, welcome aboard. 
How’d you find the channel? How long have you been following for? Cassid’s back again. She’s 
saying, “Love it.” She was here before. Uh,   Robert, interesting. Roadside Rocks calling. 
Oh, really? I missed them. Um, Andy here. Where is Yonas? Yonas is in the GC group, dude. He is 
sitting comfy right now. Race is really looking interesting. Um, let’s have a quick look here. 
We got two riders up front. Matteo Jorgensson, Yonas teammate. Uh, we got Aaron’s been up there 
for Inos Grenaders, a really good climber. Uh, has had two fantastic showings at the Tour to 
France already. A first and a second place uh, on two different stages. He’s in the lead with 
Jorgensson. Vizma’s got one of their main dudes up front. Um, I know people are thinking, “Yeah, but 
he’s kind of had a not the greatest tour. Started out really strong, fifth place overall, then faded 
really bad for a couple stages. Maybe he’s got his legs under him again.” And this is the kind of 
strategy that Vizma has to put in place. We’ve got the Raj group chasing. So, Primos uh, fifth 
place overall tour could be moving up. Actually, I need to see where Oscar only is. I haven’t 
seen him yet. Uh, we got this Muielberger group.   Mielberger crashed on a descent. Uh, low speed 
crash, but it looks like he hit the ground pretty hard. Obviously, he’s riding, so um I’m sure it’s 
not that bad, but still. We got a chasing group, the Jordan Jagat group. They’ve never been able 
to get back on. Luke Plap, William Barta, Berth, uh, Christian Rodriguez for Archa, and 
Jordan Jagat for Total Energies. He’s   11th overall. Taking a look at Enrich Mass 
here. Abandoned. Enrich Mass abandoned guys on screen here right now. I think this happened 
a few minutes ago. Here it is right here. 1433. Uh I’m at 633. So just abandoned. So what 
I’m seeing here is very live. Uh he gave it a shot on the bon 2 and now he’s decided 
to pull the pin. I’ve heard there’s a lot of sickness in the Pelaton. So yeah. Uh dude who 
asked the question, I think it was Andy. Uh, Pogy and Yonas are riding together. That elite 
GC group is 33 riders and then it’s a further seven minutes back to some drop riders and the 
green jersey group. So, let me get caught up. Once I get caught up, guys, I’m going to try I 
don’t know if I can get caught up. Uh, Colin, you are correct. Cavendish was the last person 
to do anything for here. Let’s get reconnected. Okay, guys. Uh, quick disconnect there. I’m 
sure you all saw that. Let me get caught up. Uh, Jim Brony here. I have a serious question. What 
is the largest lead someone has had in the tour   to France? And another was able to catch up. Dude, 
that’s a good question. Like where I was going to do some research on uh what was like the most 
catastrophic implosion of the tour. Okay, watching this here now. Looks like Lenny Martinez has been 
picked up by the GC group here. So, Lenny’s got 20 points today. He’s not getting any more, it looks 
like. Um, yeah. Sorry about the disconnect there, guys. I saw everything shut down quickly. So, 
hopefully we’re back. Lenny’s been caught by   the GC group. Three, four UAE riders on the front 
and the entire Vizma team’s there. So, this looks like this might be the Jordan Jagat group getting 
picked up. So, the Pelaton’s moving, guys. GC Pelaton. Dude, I don’t really have an answer 
for you, but it’s something I’m going to look   into. Jumbon. Uh, I’d like to see one where, you 
know, he had a 12-minute lead, he had a puncture, this happened, the team was nearby, he lost 
all his lead. Going through a feed point here,   everyone’s grabbing bottles. Uh, don’t don’t pop 
in. How many more hours till the race is complete? Have a big bet with crazy odds on Primus. Really, 
dude? Let us know more, dude. I bet you we’re uh I’d have to check the schedule. We could be two 
and a half hours out still. I think I think we’re probably two and a half hours away from being 
finished right now. Long day. Um, that’s a five   hour stream for me. Uh, jazz or some national TVs. 
Uh, oh, I think he’s saying how to watch it. Oh, yeah. Doug, perfect one. Landed stage 17. One of 
the best stages ever at the tour of France. It’s hilarious to look back now. 2006 attacked from so 
far made up 13 minutes in one stage riding dirty. Exactly. And they Yeah, he at that point he was 
in the yellow jersey won the tour to France and it was like ripped away from him right away. Uh don’t 
pop even thinks about three hours polka dot points coming up. Uh yeah, we’re just climbing up this 
right now guys. Uh this is a grind. I will do this could be good here guys. You know what guys? It’s 
time for this. It’s time. You know what that’s from? Let me know. Uh, let’s just jump back in 
here, guys. Hopefully, it refreshes for me. Here we go. Here’s the Pogy Group. They are down in 
the valley right now. So, this is the Pogy Group,   guys. You’re watching Bike Terra, the app that 
could uh super simple graphics, browser based. Try it out. Uh, get yourself a bike. There’s 
no reason you shouldn’t be biking, guys. I got   back into it. Get yourself a bike. Get yourself 
a smart trainer and get riding. So, this is the chase group here. We’re going to bounce up to the 
Malberger group. We’re going to hang out with uh   Andreas Lechnesend. So, just let it pop in here. 
They’re already on the climb. And it’s important to look at the map in the bottom right hand 
corner. You’ll see roughly where they are. They’re   going through a series of switchbacks right now. 
Looks like there’s someone just up the road. It says 117 meters up the road. We got Garcia Puria 
here. Let’s bounce up to him. There he is. Check this out, guys. We’re going to take a look back 
and you’re going to see they’re coming right now.   You can just see them off the edge of the screen 
there. I’m trying to show them to you. Take a look where my hand is on the screen. They’re chasing 
him down right now or he’s escaping. I’m not sure. So, here’s Garcia Peria climbing here at 21 km 
an hour, guys. We’re going to further bounce up. Let’s go to the Ro group. And we love Primos. At 
least I do. Uh his loss to Tatty way back when was just like one of the hardest things to watch on 
TV ever. Here’s the Tatty group. And I do see a right on distance. I see Purium back there. I just 
saw him flashing. You guys wouldn’t have seen him.   I want to bounce back again to him. They’re just 
up ahead of him here. I can’t see them here. Now, uh we’ll go back to Primos and we’re going to flip 
around. Yeah, he’s not that far back. This is the Primos group here. Now, we can bounce up to Matteo 
and Aaron. And I’m seeing the chase group. If you look at that little building back there, uh, 
they’re coming around the corner. What was that   building back there? Either it was either building 
or cliff. There are buildings back here. So, it was probably showing a building from back here. 
Um, I love Bike Terra. I hope you guys do to It’s not going to be a onetoone. It’s not going to 
show every building. It’s going to show you a   representation of what’s generally around them. 
So, they’re climbing up through the mountains here, uh, all through the forest. I’m looking back 
again. And so this is Matteo and Tim and Arensman. 123 m back we got Primos. So those guys are just 
around the bend up here. We might see them right here. We might see them. Depends how the road 
curves and the drawing. There they are, guys.   If you look just up ahead here, you can see them 
straight ahead. Uh they’re pulling them back right now. The distance went from 123 m. We’re out to 
116. So they’re slowly pulling them back. You can see them just ahead of us here. Uh, I’m going to 
jump back to uh there’s that same structure that’s on the side of the road that popped up before. 
He’s riding solo. Oh, and take a look at this. The Muleberger group is only 80 meters back here. 
Here’s Gregor Muleberger. This is the guy that   hit the ground earlier. So, good to see him up and 
riding. Guys, what you’re seeing here is not fake. This is live feed uh data feed from the tour to 
France from those little transponders. Oh, Anzo, we need to get the transponders on the bikes, too. 
Sorry, dude. I’m making more work for you here.   Um, and it’s being visually represented for you in 
Bike Terra. So, hope you guys like that. And now I will be even further behind in the chat. So, dudes 
in the chat, I apologize. I’m falling behind here. There’s so much chat going on. I love it. Oh. Oh 
yeah. Okay, I’m going to start scrolling ahead here. Wade saying, “Yeah, he is the Slovenian 
alien.” Tickla is back. Mojo guys, hope all is well with you. A2 uh Tula, the newspaper was 
how I kept up with the tour in the mid 80s. We did not get much coverage in Canada until 
the 90s. Yep, exactly. It was like newspapers, magazines, that’s all we had here. Um, and again 
like I’m on the hunt for winning magazines. Uh, Jim, I tried looking up can’t find the records. 
I guess my question would pertain to any stage.   Like if a writer had lost 40 minutes in stage one 
and somehow caught the leader in stage 15. Dude, it’s a great question. It’s probably all buried 
in the history. Um, yeah, you’d have to study each race and figure out how all the races went 
because it’s just going to show you the GC at the   end of the day. Uh, but like someone mentioned, 
Floyd’s comeback. So, the day before stage 16, he died. He lost the yellow jersey the day before. 
Looked like probably one of the worst riders out there. Something magical happened to him the 
night before stage 17. Whatever that magic is, that’s that’s another thing to discuss. Um, and 
he came out and blew the Pelaton apart the next day. Like one of the single best days I’ve ever 
seen of a rider out there. Pelon is definitely broken up. Allan O’Keefe afternoon. Where 
is Vernard gone now? Uh, dude, he’s probably drifted back. I did. He was in the breakaway 
earlier, but he’s gone now. He slipped back, I think, probably to help Yonas. Garcia Perier 
riding solo, guys. Uh, Bike Terra did an awesome job of showing these groups on the road. Uh, 
right now, limitations are big groups. Uh, limitations for me anyways, I think the boys that 
run it, they can have all the data. It all comes down to resources. We’ve got two UAE riders on 
the front. Vout is right now. He’s with the GC group. He’s actually the front rider right now for 
the GC group. Uh there’s at least three UAE riders there with Pogy. So maybe Vizma has a slight 
advantage in teammates, but UAE is so strong. Um so yeah, he’s back there with the GC group. Yeah, Vocler had a good lead. Yeah, Vocler 
was a great rider. He was like, you know,   the sweetheart of the French. That guy had 
panache, too. We’re going to keep using I think it was Brett’s word. Uh, so Alan O’Keefe, 
good to have you here, dude. Where you from? Let us know. Uh, Wade saying, “I hope Tim 
Wells can create an opportunity for Tatty.” Uh, you know, in these clims probably 
going to be uh Adam Yates and we’re going   to be counting on Jonathan Arvay 
to do something for Tatty or two. Uh Jeff here, if you look at all the 
shifting problems in the chainishers,   I think we are obviously designing drivetrains 
now that are less reliable, not more. Yeah, when you lose your gears on your bike, you’re 
absolutely screwed now. You’re stuck in that   gear. I guess you could manually shift it, uh, but 
that’s the last thing you want. And I’ve heard all sorts of stories where it’s like, “Guys, I charge 
my DI2.” You know, it’s like charging your phone.   You don’t realize it’s not charging. The thing is 
not in all the way. You think it’s fully charged and when you need it, it’s gone. Uh, calling in. 
Dudes, I need to sign off. My kiddo has something going on this morning for summer program. 
Should be fun. Log back in later and watch   what I missed. Okay, Don, thank you for being 
here. Don is one of the main dudes here. Uh, Paul Solon, nope. tomorrow’s hardest stage because 
after Yeah, Paul, you could be right about that.   So, I would rank this as the hardest stage 
just looking at the climbs. But you’re right, they’re going to be so blown up after this stage 
that tomorrow may feel just as tough and we could see even more damage. That’s why I will not 
say that Tatty has won the tour yet because realistically he hasn’t. He has to finish in 
the yellow on Sunday, stage 21. We still got two more critical days. uh well today and tomorrow 
after that I think it’s pretty much confirmed uh outside of other places that have got 
little battles. So Paul good comment. Yeah Junior you’re right. You can find certain 
stories of it but it’s hard to figure it out   because they’re always going to say he made up 
this much time on the GC. So when you look at results for a stage and you see the final GC 
standings it won’t say there hey buddy made up eight minutes that day. You have to watch all 
the races and read all the books. Uh Gervin wants me to check polka dot points. Uh Gerin, 
thanks for commenting here. Where you from,   dude? Uh 80 points for Lenny Martin’s right now. I 
don’t know why it’s showing just uh it hasn’t been updated. Tatty still has 20. Lenny did pick up 20, 
so he would be in 80 points right now. Yeah, this is weird that it hasn’t updated. Not sure why. 
So technically he has it right now. Paul’s gone. Okay, I’m going to read some stuff here guys. 
Matteo Jorgensson. Oh, he went on the Yeah, fast descent him and Aaron to get away. Plet’s gone. 
Uh, that’s what they said. Vanart takes the reigns of the munch and we saw that before. Uh, Bon is 
there for Vizma, Solair for UAE, Pogy for UAE, Vindigo, Campanarts. Uh, both teams represented 
pretty well there. Let’s check our groups, guys. eight in the front now. So, they’ve came back to 
Matteo Jorgensson. This is good for these guys   here. Um, this this move here with Jorgensson in 
the front and Primos and Felix Gaul coming up. Uh, with Primos at the front looking like he’s trying 
to prove something today. Uh, this actually works in Vizma’s favor because if Jorgensson has good 
legs, it’s going to help drag him further away to further assist uh, Yonas later. Again, it all 
comes down to how does Taddyy feel. Uh we’ve got the Muleberger group, five uh five riders there. 
They are one minute 32 back from the front to the uh the yellow jersey group. Uh it’s uh almost 
2 minutes. Actually, it’s almost 3 minutes heading up this climb here. So, they’re all pretty 
stretched out, all busted up every switch backs coming up here, too. Uh, good separation here on 
the guys. I’m going to try to catch up. Yeah. So, it’s 80 for Martinez Gerwin and 60 for Pogy. Right 
now, Pogy didn’t get any points on the first one. Martinez got passed by the GC group. So, uh, he’s 
not getting any more points today. I think he’s   been shelled out the back now. Oh, look at this. 
Uh, Jesse Pogy just came around. Yonas, I think Pog is about to blow this apart. Okay, guys. I’m 
watching close to the abstract. Poetic Yahoo. Uh, yo, repping only from Scotland. Yeah, I haven’t 
seen much of Oscar only yet, dude. Let’s do a   check on that because I did mention that earlier 
and I didn’t look for him. Is he in this group of 20? I really hope he is, dude. Be there. Be 
there. Be there. He’s not in the group of 20. Um, wow. So, I think he’s fallen further back. Yeah, 
he’s not in the GC group. There is a group further back. Uh, 230 behind the GC group. Uh, 
Illan, Vin, Wilder, Blackmore, Woodsy, Martinez is in that group, and Fred Wright. Where 
is Oscar only today? He couldn’t be back here, could he? Maybe it’s a transponder day for 
him because, uh, two days ago, I had no idea where Felix Gall was. I have no idea is right 
now. Uh, I’ll keep looking for him here in the background. Let me get caught up with the chat, 
dude, and I’ll look for that in the background.   Okay, we are on that. Just want to make sure. Just 
let this climb stabilize here. Eight riders in the front. We still have almost 80 km riding going. 
Vout sitting on the front. Bonut second. Uh then we got the That’s Mark Soler there in third, guys. 
They’re not even halfway up yet. Not even halfway up. Okay, we got a rider from Scot. Yeah, sporting 
only. My friend Steven Cycles from Scotland as well. Diehard Only fan. only. Yep, I think that’s 
what I said. Uh, Jumbrroni. Okay, so we saw that. Yeah, Paul Salon tired. No. Okay, so Paul says it 
doesn’t matter if Tatty’s tired. The question is   whether Pogy is sick or not. I think he’s mildly 
sick. Um, but like when he lost time before, dude, he was tired. Uh, he’s like I remember his 
words exactly. He goes, “I’m gone. I’m dead.” Um, tired being I don’t think he fueled himself 
properly. So that’s kind of what I’m thinking   has a chance of happening. See a rider here 
getting a bottle from uh neutral shano car. Great to see them there. Uh June here again. 
Everybody has a chance. Everybody could crack, not only Pogy. Yeah, guys. You don’t win 
till you cross the line. So anyone could   crack here. Uh where Melvin, bro. Uh where’s 
the green jersey? Green jersey is way back, dude. Way back. Green Jersey is 12 and 
a half minutes behind the front leaders. Milan did get the points earlier today. So 
Milan’s in that group. He got 20 points at   the intermediate sprint. They got 20 20 uh green 
points available at the top of the uh HC Call of Lots later today. So Pogy might have a chance of 
getting them. Some other climber might get them. Oh Jeff, listen to this story. This is a 
good story. I got a lifetime ban from my   Pelaton glass. They accuse me of spitting 
in the water fountain. I said, “Hey, it’s this fit chick instructor with the busty 
armpits.” Oh, wow. Lifetime ban. So, dude,   you are not welcome at a Pelaton class anymore. 
I love it. Eric Gibart’s back. He’s been here before. It was Lchnesend from Unix that ran the 
wheel there. Dude, is that who it was? Yeah. Eric, did you see that? Like the rider that 
was throwing his arm up in the air. Um, he’s the guy that did the ramming. That’s what I 
saw. So, he was saying it was Lchnes and question   mark from UNOX that rammed the wheel there. Okay, 
we’ll have hopefully see a replay of that. Junior, I am fair in my comments even though 
I’m voting. Yeah, so June is a Pogy Rep   uh supporter. But yeah, I agree you are 
fair there. Anyone could crack. Actually, right now they’re showing Caloes uh Rajlick 
versus Pagachar right here. And I think this is a time that Pogy suffered. I mean, this was 
5 years ago. Different Pogy, different times. And it’s uh Rajick back then. Five years 
ago. Wow, that’s insane. And Rajick jumps on a Vizma Rider’s wheel. That’s where they 
had the strategy of getting Vizma riders up   the road early to kind of jump. And this is 
where Pogy cracks back then. Wow. So cool. Um, yeah. Okay. Iard here. Broadcast right rules 
are so strict that ESPN and CNN can only show   stills of the turf for the first 24 hours after 
the stage. Wow. I suggest if you’re going to do more of this, try streaming on Twitch and Kick as 
well. It wouldn’t take long to qualify for pay,   especially if you start doing uh big tours, dude. 
Yeah, someone else said, “When are you going to get on Twitch?” Yeah, I can stream right from OBS 
to Twitch as well. I do have a Twitch channel. I   used to do bike rides on Twitch all the time. 
Uh got a little too friendly on there, though, if you know what I’m saying. Wow, so much 
chat here, guys. Oh my, so much chat. Uh, okay. Let me back up, guys. Let me back up. 
I may need to go. Okay, there we are. Yeah, so I had a Twitch stream and I had uh 
how do I put it this way? Admirers who   I didn’t want to be admired by, so I kind of 
stopped Twitch streaming. Uh Abstract saying, “Do not stream on Quick. It’s full of 
awful people.” Okay. Uh FEM should be great this year. Some legit rivalries where 
they really don’t like each other. Yeah, just catching up on everything like how the wind 
went down last year. Oo, it’s going to be intense. Uh, June, I feel someone is rooting for Yonas 
and Vizma. Uh, Fred Vice is TW is fem. It’s uh nine stages, Fred. It starts this Saturday. 
So, there’s overlap uh of the last two stages of the men’s tour and the first two stages of the 
women’s tour. I don’t know why they did that.   You can kind of only really watch one at once 
and I can definitely only stream one at once. Looking at Vocalon here, he’s being paced by a 
teammate. Vocalon doesn’t look like he’s having a great day. He is not in the GC group, guys. It’s 
showing here right now. Group Valon is actually 17 seconds 15 seconds behind the uh GC group. Poggy 
Vingo Leapo. There’s Oscar only right there. Okay, good. He is there. Yeah. So guys, Scottish fans 
rejoice. only’s there. Tobias Johansson’s there, eighth place overall. Ben Healey, Simon 
Yates, Adam Yates, Xander Murice, that’s   a name I didn’t expect to see there. Uh, front 
group is still eight riders. Trying to just roll through the comments to catch up, guys. That’s 
right. Pogy and Filipino Tagalog is handsome. Uh, that’s right. Rodri has won 
the VA four times including last year I believe. Yep. Femies are 
getting there. Last year was Cashia uh by 4 seconds. Married to Taylor 
Finny. Yeah, I did know that. Uh Jeff, I was once very neutral about Pogy. Now 
I believe he is bicycle G Jesus. I asked my rabbi and wife’s priest if they would all pray for 
Pogy. Dear God, Yahweh, give Poggy the Watts. I like that, Jeff. Uh yeah, Maddie, I think when it 
comes to team money, the background help is where the big teams spend more. Food, science, mental, 
health. Exactly. And that gives me huge. It was David Miller one day. Um Oh, I’m seeing a Vizma 
rider over on the side of the road here. Who is this? It’s T- Bonoot. I don’t know if he just hit 
the parachute and pulled out the back there. Uh there was someone on the side of the road gave 
him a bit of a push, but I think he’s done for   the day. Uh yeah, those big teams, they got the 
signs. Dave Miller says he looked at someone in the time trial way back on stage five. Might have 
been Vocalon. And he goes, I can tell he’s from a smaller budget team because he needs to work 
on stuff like his positioning on the bike. And that’s where the big teams have that extra money 
uh to get their riders even faster. More access to wind tunnel time. Uh there’s a lot of stuff that 
goes on the background that we never really see. Yep. Good one there, too, Revard. I thought the 
same thing. Poggy, you almost probably make more   money from their personal sponsorships than what 
the team pays them. Yeah, it’s a sport where the Okay, team radio here from team Vizma looking at 
this here now, guys. We do it well at our pace. Only 25 guys left in the group anyway. Really 
good. Come on. Come on, Yonas. Put the laminate down quicker. Uh guys, it’s uh two Vizma riders. 
Camponarts and looks like Simon Yates. I don’t see Cous here. I think Cous is further back. Yonas. 
One, two, three. Uh, Vizma riders on the front. They’re uh plowing their way up through the 
dropped riders right now. Uh, look at the gap. It was at 3 minutes. Now it’s 2 minutes from the 
GC group to the front. Still climbing, guys. Uh, they just picked up a MOAR rider going past 
him now. I think they picked up Ben Healey, too. I think that’s what I saw there. Uh, and 
Ben’s being paced by another rider from EF. So, maybe Ben’s not on a hot day. Man, his his 
riding style is so distinctive. Okay. Uh, Dawn, the NFL uses it to varying 
success. I think he’s talking about   uh salary caps. Probably the NBA is becoming 
more superstar oriented. Not an even a team, just a superstar team and the rest role 
players. Yeah, this is what I’m Dude,   exactly. Uh once there’s like unlimited monies, 
it just kind of goes crazy. Although I do know, I did look it up. It’s MLB is the only major sport 
in North America that has no salary cap. The other ones do have salary caps, but the numbers are 
so high and they probably get them through other   ways. He’s like, “Dude, we can’t pay you this, 
but we’re going to structure this deal so that might be one of those ones where you’re making 
20 million bucks a year, but when you’re retired,   you’re going to make another 2 million a year 
for the every year for the rest of your life.” I just saw that in the news lately. There’s some I 
don’t know if it’s basketball or baseball player,   he gets a million dollars a year every year for 
the rest of his life. He’s and he’s retired. Um, upgrade your mind. Is the next climb HC or HC 
plus? Um, well, okay. So I would say the cold de la is an HC+ and I would say the H just looking 
at the cold to matalan is an HC plus as well. Uh there’s an HC tomorrow that’s not as hard as 
these ones. Let’s take a look at that guys. So   we’re looking at these climbs here. Let’s look at 
tomorrow for the route um up to Lia Bright the HC route in the middle. It’s 12.6 km at 7% 7.7%. 
We don’t need that up. Uh the last one. Okay, that that’s 19.1 at 72. That’s that would that’s 
I believe that’s is comparable to today. But this middle one here, 12.6 at 7.7. Let’s just jump 
back here, guys. Look at the call to mat line. Uh it’s 19.2 km at 7.9. So it’s slightly steeper 
on average and it’s seven kilometers longer. HC plus HC+ all the way. compared to that one 
tomorrow. Um, okay. Jay Taylor’s in the mix. Morning Jay. Bicycle. Jesus. I know. Jesus would 
have been a cyclist knocking out the commute between Bethlehem and Jerusalem. No problem. No 
helmet. Uh, okay. I got to check out the windy app. People are talking about it here. Uh, now 
starting maline. I am calling my wife’s rabbi.   We’re praying here. 85 likes so far. Thanks, 
guys. Wow. 640 people people watching right now, guys. I I don’t even want to step away. There’s 
so much action going on here right now, guys. Um, yeah, guys, guys are going to be waking 
up. I mean, like Pacific Coast, guys,   there’s people that watch from there. It’s 6 
o’clock in the morning for them. I only got up at 3. We got Primos Lemon here. Hi 
there. More power to your program. Uh, looks like his name is Ian Monte from the 
Philippines. Jeff’s going back to bed. He can’t do it. He cannot do it. Jeff, we need a 
coffee transfusion for you, bro. Um Jay Taylor, I like Matteo Jorgensson. Yeah, he’s in that 
front group. Actually, it’s seven now down.   It was eight riders now down to seven. We’ve 
lost someone. Uh Jorgensson’s still there. Okay, we lost Bruno out of the front group. Bruno 
Amarill is out of that front group. Then it’s uh   6 seconds back to Fran Van Vandenbrook 
and the Pelaton’s there too. Uh guys, they’re coming fast now at the mataline. I 
think the front group, if they’re not careful,   they’re going to be caught before the top of 
the Maline. Tim Wellins has just been riding solo today. He’s been hidden. Like, I just 
haven’t seen him. He’s sitting off the front   of the group right now. Unless he just went Let me 
just see what the uh race feed’s saying here. Yep, Healey did get dropped. Oh, it’s Sweeney 
that was waiting for him. Harry Sweeney. Uh,   and it’s saying Primos is driving the break. 
Valon’s group. We saw that. Venard is gone. Yeah, it’s a brutal ascent. Primos just giving 
no quarter, guys. So, the Vizma team is picking up Tim Wellins here. I’m not sure if Tim 
went out by himself. He He was earlier,   so I think he might have been floating 
around up there by himself all day. Uh, three Vizma riders sitting in front of Yonas, 
then Pogy. Uh, a couple white jerseys from here, which I got to assume are UAE riders. pretty 
high up camera view here. Uh, okay. We got uh Raz Razam 618 watching from Merc. Dude, thank 
you uh from watching from work. Don’t get yourself fired now. Don’t get yourself fired. Hopefully, 
you’re the boss and you’ve got all the employees   watching at the same time. Get them here, dude. 
713 watching now. Let’s give her bang bang time, folks. Bang bang time. Uh, as a very casual 
fan, Jacob, you’ve been here a lot, dude. I   think you’re more than cash now. Uh any thoughts 
on what Roick is aim for? Dude, he’s trying to get he’s trying to jump up the standings. Uh 
I think they’ve got a third place. I mean, they have third place now. Lipoitz is further 
back. Uh if anything, it’s going to be to secure fourth place over Oscar only to protect their 
third. You know, bounce him out so they can’t take third away. To have a rider on the podium 
is a big deal. Uh Jacob here. Thanks, dude. Yeah. He’s trying to basically protect their third 
place. So they have Florian Lipoitz, same team as Primos. He’s in third place right now. Oscar only 
is lurking in fourth. Primos wants to jump ahead of Oscar only, which he has at this point. Um I’d 
have to check the standings exactly to make sure. I think it’s a pretty close battle. Oscar only is 
floating around back in the GC group back here. Here he is right here. This is Oscar only. Fourth 
overall right now. uh and riding really strong though. So, this is a huge day for Primos if he 
wants to take time. Uh he’s going to be out there all day. Visma setting the pace on the front right 
now, guys. Setting the pace. I’m I’m waiting to see if they’re going to attack on the Maline. If 
they do, it’s going to be so heroic and epic. Uh Edvard had beans for breakfast, so he’s ready for 
he got recruited by Licky Gas. Licky Gas today. Yeah, Mass is out the back. He could be sick. 
You’re right. Gonna start cruising up here. Oh, we got a new guy from Looks like uh Israeli 
EOPMC, I believe. Going to have trouble with that name. Bicycle. Jesus is about to show 
us the resurrection. Here we go. Simon Yates on the front. Septus Yonas flag on the side of 
the road cheering on both Simon and Adam Yates. Uh Mark Lane. Mark’s been here before. Love the 
app graphics. Uh yeah, guys. That’s Bike Terra. I’m going to just uh What’s the best way for me to 
just going to look at the map again here too now,   guys? We’re getting up there, aren’t we? This 
might be a good Oh, yeah. I think this climb uh St. Francis Lamp uh I think the ladies do this 
climb, too. I don’t know if they go all the way to the top or they stop maybe somewhere up here. 
I’m positive this is going to be used at the fe. Uh it’s just a stage I remember popping up. 
So Primos getting close now, folks. Actually, there’s still there’s still a ways to go, isn’t 
there? 20 points available at the top. It’s a 19.2 km uh ascent at almost 8% gradient all the way. 
These guys are going to be shattered after this. This is the kind of climb I do inside and I 
find it inside like on Ruby or something like that and the route will start at the bottom 
like down in the valley and by the time you   get to the top that’s the end. That’s the 
end of your day. You’re absolutely done. You get off your bike and you go to bed for three 
hours. Watch some YouTube. Watch my channel. Um, okay. Uncle Matty uh he’s loving 
bike terra. Mark loves the graphics. Uh wow the PP jersey. Yellow jersey is letting 
the climbers get away on the matal line. Greg   Lamont 89 50 seconds final day. Yes. One of 
the greatest stages ever. Yeah. To go from being second. Four Vizma riders on the front 
right now. Pogy riding fifth place. It looks like Vizma is trying to accelerate here right now. 
Hopefully some we see something happen here folks. Hopefully we see something happen. How does 
Pogy react to this? I love this action here.   I love it. Uh Eric Gibart, Steven Ro nearly 
two minutes with three stages to go. Chase down Pedro Delgato. That must have been 88, 
I think. Uh 1 minute 39 seconds. Heaven stage 21. Altoz. That was an Altoz time trial. 
Okay, dude. I’m going to have to go back and look at that. I do remember all those 
stage tours. Um yeah, Steven Ro in ‘ 87 won, I think, the Jirro, the Tour to France, 
and the World Championships. Triple Crown. Uh Sheila here. Peacock’s coverage of the end 
of stage 17 was ridiculously bad yesterday. The camera was everywhere except on the race. 
Yeah, like guys, I’m watching a lot of the same   stuff you guys are and sometimes I don’t even 
know what the commentators are looking at. Um, like they’ll say it’s a huge crash and there’ll 
be one guy on the road and there’ll be one guy standing beside him like just unclipped. 
I’m like, where’s the massive crash? Like,   what are you guys looking at that I’m not? That’s 
why I always wanted to do this. Uh, okay. So, yeah, she peacock would be I think NBC’s coverage. 
Trying to keep up with got seven in the front, guys. So, we still got our seven up front. Ooh, 
the GC’s coming fast. Vizma has hyped up the speed in this chase group. Uh they’re pulling 
the gap now. It’s only 1 minute 6 seconds to the Rolet group. We got Pogy, Vingo, Lipoitz is 
still there. Only Johansson Cous Narvas, Higuita, Yates, the other Yates, Solair, and Stoer. 
So, we still have UAE riders there. Stoer is uh still hanging in there. He went on the attacker 
today. I can see Yonas talking to the team car   now. Campon’s on the front. He just pulled over. 
Had the uh the little rubber band thing. Sorry, the the band-aid thing on his nose. Simon Yates 
takes over. So, we got Yatesy and Seus Coupe up front. Cous and uh Campon is totally pulled over 
here. Just recovering now, guys. They’re pushing hard here. Uh I’m surprised they’re actually 
trying to do damage this early. Poggy looks like he’s riding comfortable there. Uh 750 people 
here, guys. I love it. Um who else we got here? New dude here. Anagua Valdes Wel. Thanks. Uh 
dude, thanks for being here. Jeff’s asking, “Is there anyone who just doesn’t want Pogy to win 
just because they want to see a different guy from   anywhere win?” Good question, Jeff. I think a lot 
of people feel that. So, either you’re going to be 100% behind Pogy or you want to see someone 
else win. I think there’s two camps. Um, I mean, I would love for something crazy to happen and 
like primos go to the front. I’ve never actually been a real huge Primos. Looks like Solair is 
going out the back right now. Solair is going out   the back of the replay I’m on here. He’s getting 
out of the saddle trying to get back on. Dude, you need to do it now. It’s in a six to 7% 
section. He’s got about three or four bike lengths. I don’t think he can do it. I think 
Solair might be gone for UAE now. Let’s see. It needs to slacken down a bit. Uh this is Simon 
Yates just sitting on the front grinding here for Vizma. The reality is though, they may be 
just grinding themselves into oblivion because eventually Simon Yates will pull off. Eventually 
Seth will pull off leaving Yonas and Pogy. And let’s just say they’re equally matched. Let’s just 
pretend they’re both equally matched right now.   One is actually four minutes further up the 
road from the other. Uh Allan Alan O’Keefe, I’m from Ireland but live in London. I’m watching 
cycling in France via feed from Canada. Isn’t   technology great? Absolutely, dude. Absolutely. 
Mark Lane, uh let the best writer win. Not a fan of Pogy myself. Shappo to him. Nevertheless, 
yeah, exactly. He’s an awesome writer. Uh oh, wow. I just jumped around again there. Okay. Uh 
John Chades here in the mix. I just saw that. Uh, okay. Learn to here. Uh, Matteo Jorgensson 
could take the win today. Uh, if they get away, dude, it’s it’s closing fast now. They’ve 
only got a 40 second lead. And actually,   I see the group of six up front. Jorgensson’s 
still there. Uh, on the last descent, Jorgensson was a hammer going down the hill. So, if they can 
get over the top, maybe he can get away. Uh, Iard Uncle Maddie saying, “You may want to refresh your 
tabs if you swap pages.” Okay, so I don’t know if   I’m behind by a little bit perhaps. I know I 
got a lot open right now, don’t I? I’m going to close some down right now. Let’s just close 
some down. Uh, stuff from yesterday. We don’t need to see that. We’re going to pin that tab 
to shorten it up a little bit. And then I just   want to keep tomorrow’s open. Uh at this point in 
the tour, the only one not hurting is the sponsor stretched out in the camper at the back of his 
caravan. Absolutely. Yeah, these guys are all   suffering right now, guys. So, six up front. 
Uh we’re jumping back to Baine for EF here and then the yellow jersey group’s coming. Four riders 
left, guys. Wow. I’m just glancing over this way, too. It’s it’s I think it’s Septus and I think 
it’s Yonas. Then it’s definitely Poggy and I think Leapowitz is just hanging on. According to this, 
Leapoitz is just hanging on here. He’s got about   one bike length back, but Lipoitz is there. We’ve 
lost everyone else. The war is on, folks. The war is on. Yep, that’s definitely Septu sitting on the 
front there right now. Uh pulling Yonas up. So, I guess technically Pogy’s isolated right now, 
but I think he feels fine with this. We’re in a   9% gradient here, guys. Um, I hope I don’t bounce 
too much. Okay, I saw something here before. R. Stanley from Oklahoma again. 650 viewers up from 
about 400 from this time yesterday. Like and sub,   guys, as always. Thanks, Colin. Dude, thank you. 
Inside Cycling World loves R. Stanley here. Get the little heart symbol there. Maybe a few more 
over here. Dude, I really appreciate your support,   dude. Uh, yeah. Right now it’s saying 750 people 
here, guys. Everything’s just clicking right now, you know. And guys, I’ve been grinding at this 
for coming up on three years and it’s finally getting traction. Uh it’s like anything in life, 
guys. Stay consistent. Stay consistent. I remember talking to Joey Jojo about this before I started. 
And friends, and they’re like, “Are you going to   do it every day?” I’m like, “Absolutely. I’m going 
to do every day.” Well, what if it doesn’t work? I don’t care. I’m just doing it. I got to stay 
consistent. It’s all about being consistent. G looks strong. Yeah. Gaul’s in that front group 
with Primos. Uh so Gaul is trying to wake work his way up standing, guys. Going to take a look 
at this quick healer here uh for the rankings   individual general ranking after stage 17. I know 
it’s bright now. Felix Gaul sits in seventh place. He’s at 1450 back. Vocalon’s only a minute and 
30 up the road. Guess what? Vocal’s out the back right now, guys. Vocalon cracked today. Uh I think 
he’s lost several minutes already. Uh so Gaul is already jumped ahead of him. Uh Oscar only has 
just departed from the main group. Uh so there’s going to be a big shuffle by the end of today 
guys. I mean things are going to consolidate a bit   later. So right now we’ve got a 47 45se second gap 
from the Primos group D back to Pogy. Uh and here we are. Wow guys, it’s two riders. It’s Pogy and 
Vingo now. So, everyone’s been shed. I’m actually watching Lipoitz here. I’m seeing Lipoitz. Pog 
Jonas put an attack. Seth pulled over. Yonas is putting an attack on Pogy. Pogy sitting right on 
his wheel. Uh, Lipoitz is gone. It’s just the two of them. It’s the main men of the Tour to France 
here. Pogy able to remain seated. Yonas has to stand. Yonas now sitting 8% gradient here. They’re 
going to start catching all these other riders at the pace they’re going. Uh it’s 9 seconds here 
according to the tracker here uh from the front end of the group to these guys. So the number one 
and number two at the turtle of France are going   to sweep up that breakaway group and start the 
they’re going to catch them before the top. Let’s just have a little look over here. See what I can 
see. Oh wow. They’re right there. They’re right there. So guys, let’s do this again quickly here 
because I want to support bike terra. Um, here they are, guys. Okay, so Yonas just technically 
disappeared here on screen, but he’s not. Okay, the catch has been made according to 
this. Uh, I’m just not seeing it right now. Uh, I saw a group up the road there. Can I still 
see that group up the road? No, I can’t. So,   here’s the white jersey group uh with 
Florian Lipoitz. Sepus is back there. I’m not seeing all the data. Uh only is further 
back. We’ll look at Oscar only here riding in a smaller group bouncing back up to Flor and 
Lipoitz here and the leading group. Okay, they’ve got Tatty together with Yonas Primos 
Rodri. They should all be here together now.   There’s the yellow jersey just coming on now. 
So they do show Tatty correctly in his yellow jersey. Where is Yonas? Jonas is right beside 
him here. Still climbing though too guys. We’re still climbing. Uh the climb is not over yet. Uh 
interesting here. Two guys. Matteo now is now with uh Vingigo and Tatty. Let me just get caught 
up here. I want to make sure everything’s   looking good here. Eight riders. Pogy Vingo. 
Relick Felix Gaul. Ben Oconor who’s been with the group all day. Aaronman Matteo Jorgensson 
and Einer Rubio Reyes climber from Colombia. Take a look at the live tracker here. Coming 
to the top. Who’s going for the HC points here?   It’s going to be Tatty trying to get it because 
uh he’s 20 points behind right now. Lipoitz is out the back, guys. So many groups here. We have 
five groups here. Who’s group five? Group five is Healey, Velasov, Harry Sweeney, and Tim Wellins. 
Group four, Vocalon, Bargui, Costu, and Johansson. Group three, Tobias Johansson there. This guy’s 
having such a great ride. Eighth place overall. Here’s Oscar only. Sept Cous did his job. Narvias 
was gone earlier. Simon Yates did the job. Uh they might all regroup and we might see them back 
together at some point with the leaders. Uh if   there’s any hesitation up front. Uh Lenny Martinez 
is quite a ways back now. the King of the Mountain jersey riding with Valentine Perry Pont, the uh 
the hero on the Vonto from two days ago. And then uh group seven back here. Who’s this back here? 42 
riders in the groupetto. Quinn Simmons. Uh a day off for him. His rest day is three HC ascents. 
Okay, let’s hang out here. So again, Arsenal, thank you so much, dude. Man, you’re killing it 
for my channel. I absolutely love it. Uh yeah, Anthony Anthony Mina Moangi or Yates brothers. 
While they may share insights or observations,   they are not known to compromise team strategy or 
reveal confidential. Yeah, I wonder what they say to each other. Like opposing teams, the two 
most powerful teams at the Tour to France, one and two in the GC classification. Like could 
you imagine if they did? Yeah. So according to this, Leapowitz is riding solo. Let’s see if 
he is. Leapowitz is riding solo here. Okay, good to see. Uh, let me get caught up, 
guys. Still trying to catch up. Yeah, right here. Eric Gbart baseball. Bobby 
Bonia, who gets a million bucks a year   and that’s becoming the new thing in the L&B. 
The Dodgers have multiple players getting paid big money 10 years from now. Yeah, they retire 
and they get paid money for the rest of their   days. What a life. You’re good at a thing. 
You’re good at a thing. Uh you may not be good at anything else, but you’re good at 
that thing and uh you’re set up for life. Okay. Uh NHL is near cap. Yeah, I did look 
that up. I think I saw 88 million. So it’s a pretty small cap. Uh I think NFL is 280. MLB 
that has no cap. Some of the biggest teams are over 300 million. I mean, it’s not Oh, guys, do 
I have the right uh thing on right now? Actually, I don’t. Sorry, guys. I’m on the wrong thing. 
I screwed that up. That was my fault. Uh, I thought I jumped away from that. I forgot to put 
it back in the OBS here. You know me. It’s just standard amateur hour over here. Yeah, more Polka 
Dot John points coming up. I got a lawn chicks back to enjoying the playbyplay. Listening from 
North Carolina. Bella, thanks Colin. I appreciate your effort and dedication to bring friends to us 
in real time. It’s great for this new cycling fan.   Bella, how long you been following for? or who 
are you cheering on and do you ride bikes? Dudes, I’ve never had 819 people watching my streams ever 
in my lifetime. It’s only going up from here. Help a semi-retired geologist. Actually, an unemployed 
geologist. I’ll never get working again. Uh I’m too far out of the mix, guys. Uh David’s 
cheering on Primos. Joe’s here now. Good morning, all cycling fans. Joe must be on the West Coast. 
Joe, are you on the West Coast? Yeah, Vizma keeps trying to wear him out. Um, it’s not happening, 
guys. It’s not happened yet. Again, it’s all about fueling. Matteo sitting on the front right now. 
Yonas on his wheel. Felix Gaul right there. Uh, Primo sitting about six back ahead of Ben Ben O’ 
Conor. Guys, all these climbs, it’s going to get harder and harder to fuel, harder and harder 
to take on nutrition and hydration. Just think they’re struggling to do it now because they’re 
climbing over the top. It’s going to be even   harder to try to smash a gel into your face before 
the next climb starts. So, I think that’s their only real chance. The daily EF video especially 
fun yesterday from Robert here. Interesting about their chef. Yeah, EF has great video guys. Go 
check them out. I was spent a lot of time on the uh the women’s teams yesterday. Uh FDJ Suez, Demi 
Volering. Um probably the favorite for the women’s tour this year. Colin Woodson’s checking in from 
Hong Kong again. Colin, you’ve been here almost   every day, dude. Good to have you. Oh, yeah. 
Chris Chris her in the knucklehead talk. Um yeah, so right now it Vizma’s been doing 
all the attacks. We’re still waiting to   see if Pog is going to light it 
up here. I don’t think he will. I think he’ll go for the points. 
Maybe Felix Gall Primos is there. Uh, okay. So, we’re still watching this. I told 
you Pogy will attack on the call to believe you and me. So, June thinks Pogy’s going to put 
in a huge attack here. Uh, John saying almost a thousand watching. Yeah, John. I have no idea. 
The number bounced around so quick. I don’t know   how many likes I have. It doesn’t really matter. 
It all matters to me. This channel is about this community here. This is how I always The guy with 
the crazy antlers is running over. This guy needs   to get off the roads. I mean, dude, if he if he 
stumbled, he could catch the riders with those stupid antlers. Kind of fun to see, but also kind 
of stupid. Uh, French flags blowing hard up here, guys. John Chady back again. John, you’ve probably 
done this climb on Ruby, I would I would assume. June’s waiting for the huge attack by Pogy to 
come. Uh, yeah, fantastic, guys. Okay, we got uh slide directly here saying the animation is 
nice. Yeah, guys, sorry I left it stuck on there   so long. Uh I do like to jump in and out of it. 
In fact, we could probably do that now, guys. I’m going to do it again. I love bike terra. I don’t 
ride it enough. Here we are again on bike terra,   guys. Let’s hope it’s going to do a reset here 
for me. I think it’s resetting on the fly now. So, this is And there. Yeah. Some Take a look at 
this. This is what my uh I think I’m going to have to I’m going to have to jump out of 
there, guys. I think Okay, I think here I’m going to exit this. I want to reset that myself. 
I don’t know if that’s my OBS or just interacting   with that there. Uh here’s the group riding right 
now. Leading group itself, climbing Tatty, Yonas, uh Primos, Felix, Ben Connor, Matteo Jorgensson, 
and Rubio Reyes. Uh again, take a look here. at the climb itself, guys. You can see the 
switchbacks. I keep zooming in on this to   see where we’re at. That’s our lead group, the 
black arrow on screen. 7% gradient right now. If we look down, so Aeronman’s only 141 is back. 
I love to see stuff like this time and take a look there. There guys, you can see the lead 
group just ahead of us. Uh paid subscription, you’ll get better drawing. So, guys, I don’t have 
a paid subscription. Uh it’s free to use, free   to use for everyone until you really enjoy it. 
And then support, guys. The the subscription is like really compared to the other apps, it’s dirt 
cheap. Uh you get as much value out of this app as you do the others. So he’s chasing hard here and 
he is a good climber. They are 125 meters ahead of them. You can see here where it says leading group 
at the top, it’s giving you the distance back to   time and Arenssman. And then we’re going to bounce 
back. Oh, it’s only 100 meters back to Leapoz. Let’s take a look at him. When we jump to him, 
we’re going to see time and Aeron’s man ahead.   And there’s time and Aaron ahead, guys. So, it’s 
using and actually I could just see the drawing there. I can see the third group. There’s a little 
shimmer of a shadow where my hand is right there.   You can just see them. Let me know if you can see 
them there. Yeah, you can see them. Look at them there when I do that. So, front group, second 
rider, third rider. Oscar only is 400 meters back. We won’t be able to see him close enough. I 
just love doing this stuff. Let’s look at uh Immar Rubio Reyes here and I’m gonna take a look down 
and there he is. There’s time and Aaron’s been coming up from behind here. Uh not that far back. 
We’ll do one more shot and then I’m going to jump   out. There is Leapowitz. So Lipoitz is battling 
his way back on. Guys, I love to see this kind of stuff. Love it. Bike Terra. Love it. Dudes, you 
got something brand new going on here and I think it’s fantastic. I just moved my uh OBS feed there. 
Getting close to the top here now, guys. Oh, I hate when it does that. Something goofy going 
on there on my screen. Uh we’ll probably jump   back to this one and things should settle down. 
Okay, we’re good, guys. Leading group of seven. June saying Pogy will win the stage. 
You believe in me? I agree with you,   June. Uh RC is saying yes, dude. Atlanta Primo’s definitely not helping Lipo 
today. Yeah, Lipo’s further behind. Uh I was wondering how that would work out. It’s pro 
it’s probably a very tough situation for the   team. There’s a sign on the road, every cyclist 
is a hero. Yes, Lipoitz riding solo. Uh you know, Primos is kind of the leader of the team. Lipoitz 
is the future of the team. I think Leap, sorry. I think Lee Points is smart enough to know 
whoever’s the strongest man will probably   get to vive for the win, vive for the third 
place. Uh, learn to usually have two powerful teams are chatting amongst each other. It’s 
often because they’re telling the team, “Oh,   I wonder how much trash talking there is.” 
Willy saying Yonas is going too early. Yeah, I’m surprised they attacked on the Matteline. 
Uh, I think it’s what everyone wants, but the smart move is to wait till the end because 
if you mess it up, you’ve really messed up. Okay, if saying my guess is Pog and have decided 
to consolidate their positions, make the rest work so they can relax a bit tomorrow. Okay. Uh, 
they’ve just getting to the top of the Maline now. Let’s go on the live track. They should 
have just they’re just getting to it now, guys.   Actually, they’ve gone over the top. Over the 
top. We’ve got our seven riders. I’ll try to give you who got there first right away. Okay. Time and 
Arensman’s going over now. Leapits is hot on their heels, guys. I think all these riders are going to 
come back together on the descent. All it takes is   for the two riders behind just to push a little 
bit harder and they can jump back onto those groups. If I go back to the race here, see the 
live track at the head of the race. Uh they’ve got nothing for who’s over the top first. We can check 
the point standings. So they gave it to Vingo. So Vingo got first over the top. Poggy second. 
Jorgensson third. So Pogy’s Sorry. Vingo has only got one rider uh to his system. Poggy’s kind 
of like leading the descent. He probably wants to be the front rider to pick his own uh path down 
the course. Leapitz is coming over the top now. That means Aaronman’s already gone through. So 
Aeronman’s must be through as well. We can do the points again. See what if they give it any more. I 
I would think there’s more than three uh positions   for points on that climb. It’s a 20 pointer. Um 
Black Mesa, dude, welcome aboard. Hello from North Carolina. Lots of people from here from North 
Carolina. Paul, yeah, Paulon Vingigo and Pogy are together. They’re now going down the backside 
of the call to maline. Uh kind of a long descent uh valley riding again and then up the uh the 
epic climb of the caldero the HC plus climb today. Uh Jim Brony talking to Johnny if you ain’t trying 
to break someone’s legs ain’t trying. Kenneth   Kelllet new dude here uh saying he’s laughing. Uh 
mountains are a solar ride. You get zero drafting, dude. Some of the speeds they’re going at on 
shallow gradients, they will get drafting. Uh   cuz they’re climbing 24 25k an hour. Obviously, 
not on these ones. Uh these are too steep to get really anything in the way of drafting. I 
think I’m caught up, guys. I can’t believe it’s   Pogy pulling ahead going over the summit like he 
doesn’t want to follow Yonas squirly descending. Yeah. Uh and I think Yonas is always going to 
be afraid of descending after crashing. So Pogy probably wants to pick his own line. Lana 
saying, “Lena, where are you from?” Uh, oh, Lana did say, I think she’s from North Carolina. 
Lana, how’d you find the channel? Wow, guys,   I see 800 and something people watching right now. 
Um, around the world from Brazil, dude. Welcome aboard from Brazil. Love it. Uh, we’ve got a man. 
I Dude, we’ve got Benny support. We now have Benny support in the house. Fantastic. Um, Emmon Abraham 
here. Uh, probably from Eratraa’s got the Air Traan flags flying flying for Benny. Benny’s on a 
day of survival. Ammon, uh, all the sprinters are back. They’re just suffering together today. Paul 
Salon, we don’t care about your sleep. Where are go? Thanks, Paul. I love it. Uh, dude, they’re 
riding together. They’re in the front group. There’s seven riders in that front group. Uh, 
they’re riding side by side right now. In fact, looking at the feet over here on the descent, 
uh, looks like Matteo’s leading Yonas out. Oo,   Pogy hit the brakes really hard there. They were 
right together. And you just saw him just back up completely on this corner. Uh, let’s take a look 
at this this ascent, guys. Let’s take a quick peek at this. See how sketchy and hairy this is. There 
are some pretty nasty switchbacks. Uh the section they’re on now it is a pretty a few switchbacks 
but also lots of like alpine valley windy curvy descents high speed. Yep. Matteo sitting on 
the front for Yonas. Yonas having a little peak back at Pog here. I don’t think they’re going to 
drop him on the descent. Team Vizma radio coming   through guys. Let me take a look at this. This is 
important. Come on. This puts a lot of pressure on everybody. This is really really good. Super job. 
Come on Yonas. Come on. Oh, they’re cheering on Matteo here. Well, they’re but they’re not doing 
anything to Pogy. Pogi is just going to descend   with him. Uh maybe it’s putting a lot of pressure 
on other people, but there’s no pressure on Pogy here. Average speed up the call to Lataline for 
Yonas cuz he did get the 20 points. 21.0 km an hour. That is absolutely flying. Um Okay. Oh, wow. 
So busy in here, guys. It is insanely busy. So I’m gonna bounce back to Paul. I love your comment, 
Paul. We don’t care about your sleep. Where are you even go? Dude, that’s that’s classic. Okay, 
Lana is in Australia. Uh John Shady Classic Colin, noticing new people in the mix, either riders 
or commenters. Thanks, John. Uh dude, guys,   I always like to know about people, where you’re 
from. This goes back to my earliest days over on Ruby. Um I’m sure John can attest to that. I know 
a little bit about everyone that’s there. I like to learn about people. Um, Second Breakfast is in 
need for these long adventures. Absolutely. So, John knows me from way back when over in 
Ruby. Probably one of the original OG uh   GRC hanger bouters with us. Okay. So, Alexandrew 
Capusan here is in Shanghai airport flying soon home to Europe. And dude, you’re watching the 
channel from the airport, dude. Killing it. Um, Jeff’s asking what kangaroo steak. Do they 
eat kangaroo? I didn’t know that. I don’t think   so. Um, Joe here is talking to Atlanta. Cheers. I 
watch tennis talk with uh Cam Williams also. Okay. John Shady, come on. Hit the thumb up. We need 
to get this channel over a thousand viewers. Hey,   John. Thank you for helping me there. MCM Racing, 
dude. Where are you from? Okay. Says, “Greetings right there from Costa Rica.” MC Racing. Uh, 
I’m going to guess you are a mountain biker if you’re in Costa Rica. That’s just my guess. Let us 
know more. MCM Racing. Uh, someone’s asking about Quinn here. This is TR Play. Quinn is back in the 
green jerseys group. He is, like I said earlier, he’s having a day off. It’s just a slight casual 
ride today. Quinn Simmons, you can see him right   here. Uh, they are quite a ways back. So, on a 
Quinn Simmons day off, you do three HC or category climbs through the Alps. Green Jersey Group is 21 
minutes back right now. So definitely a huge day off for him. Watching the feed. Uh still seven 
riders in that front group. Seeing if anyone can bridge back on. They actually pulled out a bit of 
a lead on me. So 33 seconds back to Aaron and it’s 51 seconds back to Lipoitz. Maybe in the valley if 
they back off there is a little bit of a plateau. It actually kind of like ticks back uphill just 
the slightest bit halfway down the climb from the maline where they probably join onto another 
road. Highspeed descending guys. I’m going to try to get a coffee coffee right after this. Uh Roy 
here. Roy Kloffenstein. Roy, where you from dude? And he’s saying thanks for speaking more slowly. I 
didn’t know I was doing that. Um, I have been told I speak very fast. Uh, so I will try to speak a 
bit slower. Jim Brony, I love this too. Jorgensson hired Tanya Harding. Tanya Harding to stand at the 
bottom of Adeline with a 2×4 to break Pogy’s legs. Ultimate teammate, dude. So good. Paul Jason 
Castro from the Philippines living in Hawaii, dude. Yes, man. You’re killing it. I love it, 
dude. Thanks for coming on board here. Um,   Kenneth, kill it. Is it dry? Dude, bone dry on 
the descent here. We haven’t seen any rain yet today. They are forecasting rain. In fact, they 
said there could be storms, rainstorms going up Coraveal to call Dalo. So, they’re very fortunate 
today. It’s not a sketchy descent like yesterday on any of those little hills. They were only on 
cat fours yesterday. Soaking wet. Uh Shayongo, good evening from the pills. So many Filipino 
supporters you guys. I absolutely love it.   Shout out to the Philippines. I probably 
the country that’s the most represented here in the channel. Uh, Uncle Matty, I wonder if 
someone tries so hard on sending crashes. Yeah, I don’t want to see it. Uh, but yeah, if 
you’re trying to desperately make up time,   things can happen. Oh, yeah. Geez, I forgot 
about that. Dude, I’m glad you said that. Um, Paul Jason Casser here. It’s 3:32 in the morning. 
This guy is completely cycling crazy. Dude, where are you in Hawaii? I’ve only visited Hawaii once. 
Um, where would I have been? I guess Honolulu, but there’s another name for it. The touristy section 
there. Uh, what’s it called? I didn’t like the flight there. I hated the flight there. It killed 
me. Um, it was a direct flight from Calgary,   so probably an 8 hour flight. We thought we had 
great seats. We ended up being in the bulkhead uh area, which is great cuz you think you get like 
lots of leg room. Everyone decided is where they   would walk through all night long going to the 
bathroom. Bunch of kids on the plane. Uh one girl actually tried to jump over Joey Jojo’s legs, my 
wife, and actually landed on her. So super uncool. Uh really nice when we were there. Uh John saying, 
“You keep throwing commentary. We keep listening.” Mission cardiac here. Uh guys, sorry the chat’s 
just jumping everywhere. Uh, okay. Dude, check this guy out here. Mission cardiac and from right 
around the world from Durapur, West Bengal in India. Dude, I love it. Absolutely love it, man. 
Yeah, definitely your mama jokes out there. Uh, new dude here again. Lynen Bridge falling down as 
in the London Bridge. 9:30 p.m. at night in the Phil. I told you guys, Filipinos are just all 
over the place here. They love their cycling. Uh, why am I only seeing this channel now? Dude, 
I don’t know. Why have you just found this now?   This is almost over, dude. We still got a few 
stages left. I am doing the tour to France. Uh, feminine feift. Uh, after that, there’s a a bunch 
of uh smaller stage races that you’re going to see all the world tour riders at. I’m going to do 
those. Don’t know which one exactly yet. There’s a tour of Poland, tour of Denmark. Uh there’s 
an Arctic trail race, and then we got the VA, tour of Spain. Uh Alexander saying he can’t 
see the tour due to bad internet. Yeah, I never thought about too. Some of you, it’s just 
easier to do it this way. Um Alexander, hopefully I can get you on the flight. Dude, you’re killing 
it, dude. Where are you going back to in Europe? Oh, check this out. Atlanta. We’ve 
got some inside scoops here from the   Australian. Kangaroo meat is very lean but 
very good. Different taste but decent. Okay. Uh Wade is Pogy in the leading Pogy is 
in the leading group. Dude, there’s seven   riders there. We basically got a group of 
seven. It’s going to stabilize now because uh everyone’s descending at roughly the same 
speeds. Aaronman’s by himself. Leapowits by   himself. Then we got the only group Oscar 
only. Uh Cous is there. The Yates brothers are there. Narvas is there. Yates brother. 
Mark Solair did get back on into this group. Uh descending still, guys. There is that little 
plateau slight uphill coming up. I’ll just show you that there for now so I can catch up. 
I’m going to run and get a coffee here right   away. Uh Dan Wade, greetings from Tacoma, 
Washington. Hoping Matteo has good day, dude. He’s right up in the front right now. He’s 
in the front group of seven. Uh Munasad here from Eratraa supporting Bingum as usual. Uh, as 
with winter riding, I would be more afraid of the descent than the climb on a day like this. 
Exactly. Aard Lana Jorgensson at the moment. Yeah, Jorgensson’s right at the front. Uh, dude, I’m 
going to try to do this name here. Uh, Mangustave Tech Techley Techi from Eratraa supporting 
Benny. God bless. Uh, all platoon I guess all riders. Crest Cristano here supporting Bernie 
from Eratraa. Oh my, this chat’s insane. Jeff, I tried Vegemite a few years back. It wasn’t 
too bad, but I couldn’t eat it every day. Yeah,   I think I tried. Okay, UAE Jorgensson is going 
What are they saying here? Oh, this is UA talking to them. Jorgensson is going full gas downhill. 
Small gaps opening up between Jorgensson, Yonas, and Pogy, but Pogy is just staying far enough 
back to watch their line. Very technical descent, guys. Like, it’s just not one curve. It’s like 
a snake. It’s it’s the roads are doing this and   then into a big switch back and doing the same 
thing. Uh almost like switchbacks, curves within the switchbacks to try to even level it out even 
more. Otherwise, it gets too steep. Yeah, Benny’s fine as far as I can tell. Ramon Regio watching 
from Manila, dude. Welcome aboard. Marcela, Marcela’s back. Good morning. Pogy has no one 
from his team with no Pogy is isolated. Jonas only has one rider. I think Pogy’s looking pretty 
good though today, guys. Uh so basically for me it was today’s stage and tomorrow. I think at this 
point Pogy can almost check this one off. Okay, I got this one done. I got one more to go and then 
I have another tour to France win. John Croissant here. Cresette, uh John from Vermont, enjoying 
your coverage and your commentary. Dude, thank   you so much. Uh I’m going to just jump back to the 
time gaps here, guys. Uh 45 seconds to Aaronman. Further 18 seconds to Leapowitz, the only group 
chasing from front end to back end. We’re talking it’s 20 almost 22 and a half minutes back to the 
green jersey group, which is a big groupto. It’s 66 riders today. Uh polka dot jersey at this 
point. Martinez still has it. He has 80 points and I actually it doesn’t update on the fly, does 
it? Poggy had 60 at the start of the day. He would have picked some up there. He got 50. Okay, here 
we go. So, Lenny has 80. Vingo picked up 20 on that climb. I don’t know what his total is right 
now. Pogy had 60 timed with Martinez. And that   puts him at 75. Martinez probably won’t have the 
polka dot jersey at the end of the day. He fell out real early on. on. He made it over the top of 
the first climb and then fell out. He’s actually right now he’s 14 and a half minutes behind the 
leaders. So if Pogy gets more points, he’s only five points out of her. Pogy will get more points. 
We all know that. Um so John’s watching from Vermont. Roy, Southern California, Sky Valley. 
Dude, Palm Springs. Oh dude, I love that place so much. I’ve been one time. I’m going to look up Sky 
Valley later today. I went for a concert in 2003 at the Polo Club. It was a a metal concert. Best 
concert I’ve ever been to. I loved my time in Palm Springs. So hot, so clean. Uh yeah, dude. I can 
see why people go there. I already told Joey Jojo, my wife, I said, “Hey, let’s think about getting 
like maybe a longer term time share down there.” Allan D Alan Dupali here just joined from the 
Philippines again. in the Philippines, man.   Rocket it. Eggy saying mubahigh, which I don’t 
know what that means. Maybe that’s hello. Uh, okay. So, Joe is just outside is in Vermont. Used 
to live outside of White River Junction. Michael Sagermanman’s here as well. Fred Vice Wiki. Yes, 
that’s where I was, Fred. You’re right. So, yeah, Honolulu, then they call it Wiki there. I was 
in that like touristy area. Best part of the   trip was we met a dude that took us on a tour of 
the island. And check this out. So, we do a tour where you go to that uh not the snake head thing, 
not diamond head, whatever they call it. It’s u an extinct volcano where the ocean has eroded into it 
and it’s a perfect combinment for snorkeling. We went there. The dude that took us on the tour, he 
was friendly, fun guy, I could tell. And we asked   him on the way home, I was like, “Dude, do you do 
any private tours?” We just asked him and he goes, “Well, I have in the past. I could.” Um, so we 
arranged for our last day before we flew out to go on a tour. He took us around the entire island 
all up to the north shore and we pull up there to   the north shore and there’s people there waving 
to him, saying hi to him, like real deal surfer dude. Uh I think he said he came to Hawaii when he 
was 18 just on a whim like I’m going to go there, see what it’s like. And he never went back. 
Anyways, he said just off the beach, guys, he goes, “I don’t know if you remember the 
show Lost.” He was in I think nine seasons   of Lost as one of the background extras and I 
can’t remember his name right now. Uh, but he you can definitely see him in the background 
of all the extras when they’re on the beach.   I think he died in season nine. Uh, I’ll have 
to remember his name. Um, so just a really cool guy to meet. Joe is asking who’s on Strava. I am 
slide Drexeler here watching from the Philippines I believe. Are you is that the Philippines? 
I always screw that flag up. Is that okay? Uh, good evening from the Philippines. We 
got Ronald Boura here, guys. I don’t know how   there’s 900 people here watching, but thank you 
so much. Uh, all the new people, welcome aboard. There’s so many awesome people here. Uh, so much 
knowledge, guys. We got our seven riders at the   front. They’re still descending. In fact, they’re 
probably actually Yeah, they’re still descending at 3% now hitting zero. I think it actually goes 
false flatty up for a tiny bit. Just a little smidgen on the road here. Uh, we’ve got Aaron. Oh, 
look at this. Aeronman and Fleet Poets are back together. So, we got two working together here. 
Now, we got the third place rider on the road,   uh, trying to chase back on. Remember, 
he’s trying to protect his third place. Um, fourth place is back further down the road. So, 
he he’s actually in a good position right now,   but 40 seconds up the road is Roick, his teammate. 
Um, who could be moving up into fourth place, which would be a good thing for Red Bull. 
I think that’s their plan. Uh, okay. Wow, this is the busiest. This is the busiest 
I’ve ever seen the chat, guys. 890 people   watching right now. Insane. Ramon Romeio, thanks. 
Uh, Cycling Junkie channel. I hope that’s what it becomes, guys. Uh, Dan, wait. I’m not seeing 
the video here. Is Is it a subscription? Dude, I I can’t show you all the video. Once in 
a while, I can show some highlights. Uh,   it’s my audio commentary of what I’m 
seeing on my video feed that I pay for. Uh, and how I can interact with the maps and how 
I can show you where the riders are on course. Uh, yeah, there’s no subscriptions to watch the 
channel. Uh, that’s why the Filipino because Pogy and Filipino is handsome. I did know that. 
So, Alexander is going to Istanal first and then Bucharest. Oh, exotic. Uh, okay. Jacobus Vanzil, 
uh, Dutch guy from New Mexico. Great reporting. Thanks, dude. Thanks for being here. I’m glad you 
appreciate it. Uh, guys, this is when you guys   think my commentary is good or it’s entertaining. 
At least that that’s why I do this. Um, yeah, guys, dropping into the valley. And I didn’t look 
at the temperature on the maline again. Sorry,   guys. Uh, it’s already back to 19°. I should 
have looked at the temperature on the top. I need a weather check. EF, could they win another 
stage like this one today? Uh, they have no one in the front group. Ben Healey’s their climber, 
so they don’t really have a chance of winning   this one today. I guess there’s a chance tomorrow 
Ben rebounds. Maybe he can do something tomorrow. Um, Cheyam Sundar. Uh, Cheyam from Oh, this is 
a hard combour India supporting Bingo. Dude, welcome aboard. Robert’s saying Pogy wants 
nothing to do with following Yonas close.   Exactly. He’s definitely hanging 
back from Yonas. Uh we got uh Leto Lucero here. He Tatty is in third place 
right now following Yonas’s wheel. Okay. I couldn’t tell. I thought there was a rider 
off the front. It’s just a motorbike motocam. Yeah. Uh learn to hear saying Jorgensson and Vingo 
are going to Vinegar. I like that dude. are going to work over Pogy. That That’s their plan. Whether 
it works or not, that we’re going to see that   happen. And then they got one more chance tomorrow 
to try to do this entire thing again. Uh Robert saying there’s some ugly broken up pavement on 
this descent. Very tough stage. This is like the   hardest stage. Someone did mention earlier maybe 
tomorrow will be just as hard if not harder. Sore legs. Uh educate us on what the cutoff will be. I 
think it’s like a 30 or 40. It kind of changes by day to day. We’ll see the cutoff here uh when 
they finish. It’s calculated on the bottom of the screen right away. Some of these riders 
though uh they’re 24 minutes behind right now and they’re just getting to the top of the 
GC. Take a look at this guys right here. Sorry,   the HC climb. So, the green jersey group of 66 
riders. It’s still 66 including Quinn Simmons and a bunch of great riders back here, guys. Um, 
it’s going to be a struggle today. It’s going to be a struggle for sure. I’ve seen cut offs in 
earlier stages that were like 40 minutes. Um, but it all kind of changes on uh these climbing 
days. We’ll get to that. I’m going to be around   for that whole thing. Looks like the riders are 
probably getting Yeah, they’re still descending. They’re getting close to the valley floor now 
and then I’m going to run and grab a coffee. Stefano Carvo. Stefano from Brazil. I’m excited 
for the last client. Thanks for your broadcast   and good comments. Thanks, dude. Uh, thanks 
to everyone being here. Thanks to all the supporters. Uh, everyone that watches the video, 
everyone that likes the video, all the dudes that go above and beyond and donate to the channel. Uh, 
just keeps me so pumped up to keep doing this. Uh, I’ve got a long stint. I when I started on Tuesday 
morning, I have 13 days straight of streaming,   guys. So, if you’re into cycling, into having 
fun, chatting, talking about other stuff. Oh, guys, I’m going to do this for tomorrow. Maybe 
I’m going to put together a little quick slideshow   of my dog sledding days so you can see what 
dog sledding is like in Canada. I did race. I wasn’t just doing touristy stuff. I’ve been 
in the middle of nowhere mushing my dogs. Uh, Robert passing several American flags. Always 
relieved when they don’t do something embarrassing   like the Seahawks fan and the horse. Yeah, that 
dude scares me. that guy running along with those those uh antlers on. Uh oh wow, guys, this chat is 
unbelievable. Unbelievable. It’s so fascinating. From Manila currently with two storms flooding 
but still watching. JV from Manila, dude. Thank   you so much. Yeah, the rains there, the monsoons 
in there is insane. Uh Atlanta, crazy how these guys can crash and then come back and descend like 
Yeah, Jonas. I think you’re talking about Yonas.   He had a a life-threatening crash and now is 
doing this. So, how close is an American cyclist from someday winning the tour to France? Dude, I 
think there’s probably a new crop coming up. Um, dude, I don’t really have a good answer for 
that right now. There’s there’s no one right   now that’s right there at the top. I’d say Matteo 
is, you know, he’s a very very good cyclist. Um, he might be working his way back up really good 
today. He was sitting in fifth place overall. Uh he’s an incredible cyclist, just he had a few 
bad days. Uh someone’s asking where the next feed zone is from. Carmelo Aglar watching from Las 
Pinas, Philippines. Love the Filipino sports here, guys. There’s over a thousand people watching. 
Mind absolutely blown, guys. Uh this is insane. Going downhill, guys. They’re probably like 
80 85k an hour in places. I know early in the   tour guys were hitting 105k an hour hit going 
downhill. So 65 miles an hour. Uh Lana saying, “Great stream.” Thank you, Lana. Lana’s from 
North Carolina. Sheila Newman here. This is fun.   Hello from Richmond, Virginia. Welcome aboard, 
Sheila. How long you been following the tour? And who’s your favorite writer? Uh next we got Leo 
Lero from the Philippines. Video please. Dude, I can’t do the video. Uh it’s copyright strike. 
my channel would be talk would just be taken right   down and everyone here would be just wondering 
where I went. Uh let’s go. Great numbers. Thanks, dudes. Yeah, they should be well over I think 
guys in the past have been over 120k an hour down hills. I know that’s happened. Okay, 
guys. Um looks like we’re heading Yeah, we’re already starting to climb here. Oh, that’s 
a flashback from earlier. But there is a bit of   false flatty here right at the bottom. So, seven 
riders up front. Everyone still looks strong here. We’ve got our two other riders, Lipa Witz and 
Arenssman. Great ride by Aaron today for Inos. Probably to trying to go out and show support 
for Carlos Rodriguez who had to withdraw from   the race in 10th place. He crashed out in that 
last kilometer yesterday. Uh fractured his pelvis. Uh David Geyser coming from L Creek, Little 
Creek, California. Basti Dianio, hi Washington from the Philippines. Awesome stream. You rock 
now, dude. You rock, bro, for watching. Uh, we got Machus Chianka Ferrer from Brazil. And we got 
Oh, look at this guy. Music plus Peralita Frogo, you were doing great. Thanks. Thank you very much. 
I’m glad you guys like this. Dan Myers hanging out   from Seattle, dude. I was in Seattle in 2023 for 
the Metallica concert. Great concert there. Uh, the linguist life. Love this name. Sounds like you 
got a YouTube channel. Tell me more. Cheering for   Felix G to move up to fifth. Uh, Felix Gaul is 
rocking it today. Um, Oscar only, he is going to be worrying about his position right now. He’s 
two minutes behind Felix. Why don’t we take a look at that quickly? So, yeah, it’s bright, guys. 
I got it. Um, Felix Gaul is at 1450. Oscar only has about three four and a half minutes on him 
overall. He’s currently about 2 minutes behind   right now. I think and I hate to say the biggest 
loser, but it’s just a term people say. The rider that’s probably lost the most today is probably 
Kevin Valon at this point. Uh was in sixth place. Uh the Vocalon group right now. So the Vocalon 
group right now is that’s not that bad really. He’s three minutes behind the very very front end 
of the race. Uh so hopefully he can recover here, catch up with the only group. He’s in 1 minute 
and 23 seconds behind the Oscar only group. Uh, and Felix Gaul is behind him in seventh. 
Valon’s in sixth. Primos is in fifth. Uh, Felix Gaul. Okay, so they’ve got three riders 
now in this front group. They’re probably just   splitting a little bit at the part here uh from 
the descent. Let me have a good look at this, guys. I’m trying to figure this out now. Okay, so 
three riders are going off the front. Three riders pushed ahead. It’s Ben O Connor. Ben O Connor, 
Matteo Jorgensson, Inar, Rubio, Reyes off the front by 20 seconds right now. Uh looks like the 
yellow jersey. And I’m watching the feed here too. So they’ve let three go away up the road. That 
puts Pogy, Vingo, Rodri, and Felix Gaul together. Felix Gaul having an incredible stage today, guys. 
So, he’s one spot behind Kevin Vocalon overall and he’s currently uh almost 4 minutes and 45 seconds 
up the road from him. So, he’s chasing after Kevin’s spot right now. Virtually he may have it. 
Uh there must have been some kind of like little   bit of a pause in the action there and three 
decided to go. I don’t think I’m ever getting my coffee, guys. I don’t think I’m ever getting this 
coffee. Who thinks I should get one? The linguist   life uh cheering for Felix Gaul Banebridge Island. 
Okay, I don’t know where that is. Let us know. Rile Manastas watching from Quesan City in the 
Philippines. I know that place. Uh Deem Gamble West, love the coverage from Vancouver Island. 
Looking forward to tour Victoria in August. Dude,   I heard about that. I’m going to look into that. 
I saw something pop up on Facebook about it. Ann Celsius, newbie, uh, get a lot more information 
here than from any other live food. Thank you so much, Ann. Uh, just doing the best to do this the 
way I think it should be done. Uh, there’s so many extra people here. I find a lot of the pro stuff 
is just someone just talking to you the whole time. Half the time they’re not telling you what’s 
going on. The other half of the time they miss things. I’m looking at the same feed they are. 
This is the world tour feed. Um NBC doesn’t have his own cameras here. Flow bikes all. It’s a world 
tour feed provided by the tour to France. We’re all looking at the same thing. Um okay, Decathlon 
right here. This must be Felix G here. Yeah. Okay. This is the smaller group that’s just chasing the 
guys up ahead. I’m seeing six riders here. Ooh, interesting. Here, guys. Okay, they’re not showing 
it properly here. Okay, there is G and Arensman. They’re they are together now with the four ahead. 
So great descent by Gaul to catch Aaron. And now those two have caught the front four which just 
splintered. There’s three out ahead right now. Matteo’s going back up the road again. Is this a 
move to get Matteo back up the road ahead for the   next attack? Could be that. So Ann, thank you very 
much. Uh yeah, Benny can’t climb good enough to be here, guys. Uh oh wow. I don’t want to miss anyone 
here, but this is a lot. So much stuff. Uh guys, you guys are so heavy in the chat here. I 
love it. Gary T, I suspect this the shutting   down of the Filipino live stream increased the 
numbers here because your channel is next. Okay, dude. Awesome. Awesome. Good to know that. Well, 
so guys, my channel’s next in the YouTube search because some nice people out there are hitting 
that thumbs up button and giving me a like, letting you know where to go next. Uh Dean Ryder 
Hzard Doll event in Victoria. That’s right. Ryder came from the Victoria area there. Riders HD Doll.

here. 30. It’s only 300 meters behind my feet, guys. Like road feet time. Felix Gaul is pushing 
on the front. Looking back, I think he’s trying to open a gap on the rest of them. Lipoitz is chasing 
though. Pogy is in third place. Yona sitting on Pogy’s wheel now. Wow. Felix Gaul very confident 
now. That he’s back on. He has to work. Um, Don Anel’s absolutely newbie here. Coming in

makes my day. Um, okay. Trying to catch up again. Out of curiosity, do you know what the Lantern 
Rouge prize will be for the last space ride in   the GC? I don’t know what it is, but Lantern 
Rouge, guys, is guys actually want the Lantern Rouge. It’s kind of a thing. Well, I’m gonna be

to cross the finish line. Everyone comes home. So, travels with Tony is cheering on Felix G. 
Hans Anderson here. Hans, where you from,   dude? Saying hi. Uh, Lana saying, “Oh, sick. I 
don’t have any dogs in Australia.” Yeah, Lana, I’ve been I think I mentioned it like two weeks 
ago. I haven’t put it together. I got a bunch of   pics. Uh, I I do have a lot of more recent ones on 
my phone. like some action pictures, some pictures of the dogs. I’ve got a ton from the old days, 
like pre easy to carry phones. Uh, probably can’t find those, but I can I’ve got a ton I can show 
you guys just as a quick slideshow. Uncle Matty,   think bike ter is very helpful and interesting due 
to copyright. You found a way to make it all work. Yeah, they they mention it to me, guys. uh they 
know I’ve covered some of the races before. So, I just go online, I jump into the races, there’s an 
event with 20 people and I’ll do a full commentary on that. That’s how I get to know all these 
cyclists out there. Uh the community is massive, guys. They’re showing a shot here for tomorrow. 
Actually, for today, we’re in Cororvel. What am I talking about? Uh travels with Tony saying last 
place is €1,000 for GC. Wow. Hans Anderson writing from Denmark. Danish commentary has stated that 
Vingo has a headwind on the climb in on Adaline and did as well in the stage tomorrow. Okay. Uh 
Norber Norberto Oh, watching your mountain graph and riders location on my CP and live camera on 
laptop on Facebook hitting 76k an hour downhill. Yeah, guys. So, they’re flying on these downhills. 
Uh and they can go faster than that, too. Uh Hanza saying how the first part of loads 
there’s apparently wind from behind. So they   may Oh, they’re speculating he may attack there. 
So we’re getting some good info here from Hanza Anderson who’s getting the Danish feed. 
Obviously Yonas is from Denmark, guys. Oo, I just saw a little split in the road furniture 
there. Yonas took the wrong side. Let me get back   to this here. We got our three riders up front. 
What’s the gap now? They’ve given them a minute. They’ve given them a minute and 5 seconds, guys. 
I’m going to be getting that coffee here right   away. Uh JR from Lafia saying, “Put up more likes,

Tatty are in that group. Oscar only group’s got nine riders now. So, a lot of the Vizma riders, 
a lot of the UAE riders and overall right now, let’s see the gap. 25 minutes back to the back of 
the group, folks. So, the groupto at the back if I can ever get caught up. I’m grabbing a coffee, 
guys. My throat’s getting dry now. Uh SW preparing   for the Valta here in Kansas. Oh, dude. Are So, 
SW preparing for the Valta here in Kansas. So, are we talking about Lavalta tour Spain or is 
it something else there and you’re just using   that word? Let me know more about that. Let me 
know how excited you are for Lavoa 2025. Uh, Julius, I think a certain YouTuber is feeling your 
attacks. Uh, Julius, yeah, you’ll have to fill me in on that one. But Julius, dude, you’ve been here 
almost every day now. Uh, Dixon Mooki Maui, why Pogy team is not fighting closer there. Only Pogy 
against two. Dude, that’s the plan by Vizma. Um, Vizma’s team is to get more of their riders at 
the front to support their rider. It’s a great strategy, but I think the problem is Tatty’s so 
strong that he’s like, “Okay, well, I’ll just ride with your guys then. I’ll just pretend these 
Vizma guys are my team today.” And he’s probably   capable of doing that. Uncle Maddie, uh, I know 
how that speed feels. I tested the timing for, uh, World Cup downhill skiers at Lake Louise. 
Dude, Lake Louise, just down the road. That’s   right. Maddie is uh spent time in Alberta. 127 
km/h on ski on skis. Yeah. And when they guys when those skiers catch, you know what? There’s 
there’s that turn calling is uh catching an edge. Um you’re sliding, you’re sliding, you’re sliding, 
and all of a sudden a ski catches an edge and all   of a sudden now you’re cat you’re catapulted and 
you’re cartwheeling. It’s once you catch, it’s like when you see Moto GP, the guys crash, they’re 
sliding, they hit the grass, that resistance of the grass, they catch an edge, and then they’re 
gone. That’s when they get hurt really bad. Yeah,   there was a big attack from Ben Oconor earlier. 
Uh he’s up front right now with two other riders, right? Travels with Tony G won the stage two 
years ago. That’s right. I did see him in an AG2R uh jersey, Lamondial with the brown shorts 
and it did show him do really well on Cal   Lo two years ago. I just wasn’t sure if it 
was Tur to France or another stage race. Uh because a lot of these climbs get used in 
other stage races as well. Uh Uncle Matty’s feeling good about the pick today. Who’s 
got the money on Primos? Someone said they   had money on Primos earlier. Uh yeah, I’m 
thinking Poggy and JV will catch them, too. Jerry Smith, get the coffee. I know, Jerry. I’m 
trying. Jerry, thank you for that. Uh, Peter,   LDN, LDN, I was going to say London when I see 
LDN. And he says, “Greater London, Islington, bro.” Okay, dude. I’m going to look that up. 
Uh, Poy, quick, the coffee, dudes. I know. Okay, I’m going now. I’m going now, guys. Thank 
you so much. I’m going to go grab a coffee,   guys. Loving it. Over a thousand 
people watching. Be right back. Okay, cycling junkies. I’m back. Sorry for 
the delay there. The kitty cat escaped out   of the basement. She’s here taking care of 
her kitties. I have uh three kittens living down in the basement here. They’re almost ready to 
start walking. Guys, I was going to say here too,   thinking on the way down. Number one country 
viewing right now is definitely the Philippines. You guys rock. Uh so funny. Everyone’s telling 
me to grab my coffee. Um okay guys. Uh this is busy. It’s so funny you’re reading all this. This 
is hilarious guys. I absolutely love it. Um wow. Holy guys, there’s so much chats here. So many 
chats. Quick, get your coffee. Quick, get your   coffee. reading all that guys. Uh Bane Bjan right 
across from Seattle. Okay. Travels with Tony. I’m going to look that up too. Uh bite terror 
while coffee. I should have done that. I should   have done that. Uh I will be getting that set up 
right away again. Maddie Keith Bennett, Athens, uh Georgia, home of the Twilight Criterium. 
Uber Eats a coffee delivery. Exactly. That’s Mike Sagermanman. Put a bike ter. Okay, I’ll do 
that next time, guys. Uh okay, let’s get back to the front here. I just want to see what’s going 
on because I’ve missed the last two minutes.   Got our three riders up front with a 1 minute 
10-second gap. Uh InRoo Reyes, look at this dude here. Movar getting ready to show something 
off today. Jorgensson and Ben O Connor. Uh Lipoitz group. They got Lipoitz riding solo right now. 
Wow. Everything got changed up there whilst I gone. Guys, I was going like I’m watching a replay 
here and I’m seeing Lipoitz pull up beside No, that’s Primos. That’s Primos there. So, it 
looks like Leapoitz has gone up the road. Are you kidding me? So, he’s riding solo up the road. 
Then we got the uh yellow jersey group. Yonas just taking a look back here. I’m on the feed here 
now. Uh yep, very very close on stream here. Looks like Primos is going to have a talk with 
the Bora car. Red Bull Boro hands grow I should say. Primos is looking fine. Just having a little 
quick chat here. Felix Gaul over on the right hand   side of the road. Um, okay. So, Lipoitz has gone 
on attack. Lipoitz is feeling really good today, guys. I’m going to see what’s going on here. Yeah, 
right here. Take a look at this. Calot 2023. G takes off. Poggy crumbles. It has happened, guys. 
Lipoitz has attacked with 34 km to go. Um, yeah, I guess he’s gone. And that was the year that uh 
Pogy said, “I’m gone. I’m dead.” Felix Gone go. Felix Gaul goes on attack. Yonas reacts. Pogy goes 
with him. There’s a gap now between Primos and Aaronman. Primos looks really good, guys. He looks 
under control here. He’s working his way back up now to get into this group. Felix Gaul backs 
off a little bit. Okay. Uh yeah, I’ll do bike terror next time. I Okay, we’ll do that tomorrow, 
guys. Jacob Hill, you’re working so hard, man.   put tear up and run for a coffee before the last 
climb. Dude, I’m I’m on I got the coffee here now. I’ve got it on the hot plate that uh Joey picked 
up. The channel helped support me and get it. So, I love it, guys. Um, Eagle Spirit here. Where’s 
Minnie? Benny’s back in the uh green jersey group, the groupto today. They are currently 25 minutes 
behind. I imagine the cut off’s going to be like around 45 minutes or something. I don’t 
actually know, guys. Just a good I think it’s   just a reasonable guess. Jillian Marks here. 
Awesome feed. Thanks from San Diego. Jillian, thanks for watching, guys. I can’t believe this 
stream today. This is insane. Absolutely insane,   guys. You know what, guys? This is what I’ve 
been trying to get going for the last three years on my channel. I’ve been trying three years 
to get something like this going. Uh, I finally found the right audience. I found some of the 
coolest people on the planet out there. And any   of you people that are watching here right now, 
uh, wow, I just see someone donated something, guys, I haven’t even gotten to yet. I apologize. 
If you’re here in this channel and you’re spending your time with me, feel free to message me outside 
of here. You can leave comments afterwards. Um, you can re reach out to me on Facebook. I will get 
back to you. Uh, and it’s not going to be 4 days   later. I guarantee you that. I try to stay on top 
of that stuff. Uh, if you watch this later too, guys, make sure you turn your live chat on. 
It’ll be in your settings somewhere. Um, if you’re watching on PC, you can see all this chat 
later and see what was going on and why did this guy from Canada say these things at that time. He 
promised me he’d show me some sled dog videos. Um, I will do that. Yeah, G won the stage two years 
ago. That’s correct. Travels with Tony here. Uh, Learn says no coffee. I’m almost at a thousand 
viewers work on Pure Dr. Dude, I love you,   man. You’re great. Uh, I love it. So, guys, 
Learn to just met him today. came in, asked, “Where’s the video feed?” I’m like, “Okay, I just 
got to be polite.” And he’s been super polite back   and now he’s got some great oneliners at me. Dude, 
you rock. Learn to where you from again. Let us know. Atlanta, so many spectators love it. Yeah, 
guys, this is the place to be, isn’t it? Uh, Juni, did Dude, you clearly took proper advantage and 
great timing with streaming this tour. I’ve seen   your viewers go up daily over the last two weeks. 
Yeah, it has, man. It’s been insane watching again. Felix Gaul attacking off the front right 
now, guys. Felix Gaul is trying to get away from that group. Three riders still up front, guys. I’m 
going to jump to the map mode here so you can see   all these breaks. Wow, look at this final ascent. 
So, Lipawitz is solo. We know that already. Um, I think Felix Gaul is trying to go. Uh, it’s Raj. 
Like, he is so strong. Yeah, Primos is going to pull this attack back every time because he’s 
got his boy up the road. Uh, Florian Lipoitz. They catch Gaul. Gaul is probably like Primos, 
you’re supposed to be retired, bro. Um, Primos is looking strong, guys. He looks like Primos from 
like six, seven years ago. So, Aeron’s been Gaul, Roick, Vingo, and Pogy all together. We’ve got 
our three up the road. So, what I’ll probably do, guys, look at, if you look at my map here, look 
at all these crazy roads around here. Like, just climbing paradise. if you’re into climbing. Uh 
we’re gonna throw bike terror on back up through all this stuff here, guys. So, we will get back 
to it. Uh the chat has just absolutely blown up in my face. I don’t know what to do. Sheila here. 
Been following her since the 80s. Love seeing Tatty and Yonas fight it out. Seeing Hilly win a 
stage was great. And also love stories about the old days. Yeah, me too. I’m trying to bring that 
to the channel. Andy Wolo watching from the aisle of white. Dude, that place just seems so uh so 
mysterious and magical to me. The aisle of white. Love it. We’ve got uh Biomemed Life here watching 
from Riad, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, right? Uh yeah, Uncle Maddie, dude, too kind, bro. 
Welcome new viewers. You are watching Colin. He is world famous Canadian geologist in my 
own mind. Yeah, guys, my name’s Colin in case   you didn’t know. I I don’t think I’ve even said 
it this stream. Um I never know what to expect in here. Bashock’s in the mix here, too. Uh hi 
there, Inside Cyclone Fanatics. Great coverage, Colin. Looking sharp in team GRC kit. That’s what 
I’m wearing today, guys. Clutch time coming. It’s   going to be spicy. Uh yep, Gio Gall, whatever 
you want to call me. Dude, I I use both people. I I talk about my geo buddies, my gels. Uh in 
fact, beside my name, I get to do one of those fancy things cuz being a geologist here in Canada. 
Okay, hang on guys. Red Bull Ale Lipo. Now you are time trial. Don’t look back now. Don’t look back. 
Focus on your watts. Focus on your watts. Focus on yourself. Don’t look back. Oh, dude. I love that. 
He knows he can ride at a certain wattage and he’s just going to sit there and look at that power 
meter and do it. Yeah. So, here in Canada, dude, um recognized as a professional, whatever 
that means. I’m very unprofessional. Um, I was good at my job, but whatever. It’s 
kind of like this. Just kind of do it. Uh,   so beside my name, it’ll say Colin Emerson. 
P.G. That’s what he used to say, dude. So, Gall’s good. Uh, I got the coffee. Marcela 
got the coffee on the third one now. Shaunie. Shaunie from Ireland. It’ll be hard to look pa 
look pasty. Yeah, exactly. I mean, guys, still Pogy’s going to win this, but uh, anything could 
happen. Uh, Lana’s really enjoyed this year’s tour so far. Yeah, Lana, you know what? Doing 
this has made me love the tour even more. Like,   this is my entire life right now. I’m like, 
I when I finished this tour, it’s like, okay, I got to go outside and do chores. I got to 
do a quick bike ride myself. I got to start   recovering for tomorrow. I got to get things set 
up for tomorrow. I asked Joey Jojo, “Can you make me a new uh a new thumbnail for tomorrow?” She 
starts doing stuff in the background. Uh, she puts all the route previews in, all that stuff. 
We’ve only found one that was a total disaster to be honest. Uh I don’t know where it came from. 
It just the wrong course even. But uh and I know someone’s contributed up top. I don’t know who it 
is. I’m trying to find out who still who it is. Um George C here. Hi from Romania. Romania’s 
in the house, guys. I think we’ve had like   we’ve had so many countries here. 
Uh we got someone up above here. Uh what is this all I don’t know who this is. Uh, okay. Someone’s talking about a book, Night and 
Zegreb. Okay, I’ll have to figure that out later. Uh, dude, I’d spend more time reading that, but 
I want to just get caught up. Get your coffee   quick before the climb. Oh, wow. I’m way behind, 
aren’t I? Sorry, guys. Oh, yeah. I’m behind. Uh, let me just take a look again. Three guys. 
We still have our three leaders. Leapowitz   just smashing himself. Uh, Vocalon’s back, 
guys. Vocalon has rode himself back on. I can only imagine what kind of crazy risks he took on 
that descent. Uh, he was a couple minutes back. The only should be back. The whole group’s 
back. Yeah. Here they are now. They are all   back together. There’s Oscar only. Uh, the Yates 
boys. Jonathan Narvas is back. Everyone’s back. Wow. So, there’s going to be more firepower in 
this group when the attacks go off. Let’s see if the Vizma guy. So, the Simon Yates is back. 
Adam Yates is back. Jonathan Narvay is back to help their team leaders. Uh, okay. So, Fred, yeah, 
Fred Vice saying, “Get your coffee quick.” Cisan, thanks for covering. Truly made my night here 
in Jakarta, dude. Welcome aboard. Glennon R2 is here watching from the Philippines. are 
Philippines number one country guys and the Filipinos are quite a poggy. Did I use that 
right? All my Filipino uh viewers are very poggy. Oh, that’s fantastic. Um Napaorn 
Napthorn, hello from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Oh, dude. Chiang Mai, Thailand. 
That’s like cycling hot spot. Um, I know a lot there’s a lot of YouTubers that hang 
out there and do their cycling stuff there. Uh, okay. So, we’re going to go from that. He 
wants me to just talk. Okay. Jay wants more focus on the race. Yeah, we can do that, Jay. 
Lots of people here, folks. Okay. So, Jay, um, we’re going to go back to here. Let’s 
go through it again. We got a three riders   at the front. 7% gradient right now. 24 km 
still remaining, guys. 24 km. They could be potentially climbing for the next hour. Uh 
they still have Yeah, it could be the next hour because I’m looking at this right now. I can 
see that if you look at the bottom of the screen,   positive elevation covered 3,900 m. They still 
have just over 1500 meters to go. These guys climbing at this level at this probably late in 
the stage. Their vans vertical ascended meters. It’s an Italian Italian Spanish. I think it’s 
Italian. How much they can climb in an hour. The world’s best right now is like Vingo and Pogy. 
They’re like 1850 1850 meters in an hour. These guys are a little bit more tired now in the stage. 
So, I don’t think they’ll ascend that quick. So,   I think we still got a full hour of 
riding out there. Uh bouts further back. Uh Kirk Amberulu here. I’m from the Philippines 
but watching from Spain. Thanks for the English   commentary. You’re welcome, dude. Thank you 
for being here. Zephr, I got the coffee. Awesome coverage. Hello from Singapore from Beal 
here. Tom uh Ton DJ DJ Monagu. This so far is the only channel I will find with English coverage 
of the tour here on YouTube from Valenuela City,   Philippines. Thanks for dude. Thank you for 
being here. Travels with Tony. Singapore has the best food. I’ve Dude, I’d love to go to 
some of these countries that are far away,   but the air travel just kills me. Just kills me. Uh yeah, coffeey’s in hand, guys. Still here 
for the climb. And with 24 km still to go, I’m here for the next hour straight. Uh 
what time is it now, guys? Just to give   you some perspective, uh it’s 8:21 in the 
morning for me. I started streaming at 410, so we’re 4 hours and 10 minutes 
into the stream. Non-stop chitchat. Yeah. So, got some great stuff going on here, 
guys. I got to catch up in the chat here now. Coal Kane. Uh, I missed Coane here. Did I 
miss Cole? Someone said Coleca legendary. Oh, that’s cocaine there, I believe. Let’s see. 
Can I bring this up? Oh, jeez. Cocaine, dude, that is legendary. I just caught up here. 
Cocaine. Cocaine. Uh, yeah, I I think Coleca was in the very first stream on the very first 
day. Uh, instant connection with them. Dude, man, you are an animal. Colec Kane now becomes 
known as Mr. Manimal. Uh that is fantastic, dude. I I can’t tell you how much appreciated. 
Um who else here? John Chady. Dude, come on, dude. Love it, man. Uh John Chady repping hard 
here. Um John’s in training for the Tour to Donut right now. It’s an event that gets put on in his 
local part of the world. It’s a kind of like a grand fondo type thing. Guys, I’m still watching 
the racer, too. Uh, two riders up front. We’ve lost Jorgensson now. We’ve got Ben O’ Connor and 
Rubio Reyes. Jorgensson is 23 seconds back. Now I’m waiting for a camera feed on Jorgensson to 
come up here now to see if he’s hurting or he’s   fading back on purpose. Let’s just pretend he’s 
fading back on purpose. And then we got Lipoitz riding solo. He currently is 40 seconds behind 
Jorgensson. I’m going to watch closely and see how Jorgensson reacts to Lipoitz. Then we’ll know what 
he’s up to. So from the front end of the group, our two soul riders, it’s actually three and 
a half minutes back to this group of 16. So tour to donut for John, it’s kind of like a 
grandfather thing. You do the race, I think   there’s different classes. There’s checkpoints 
and the more donuts you eat at every checkpoint, it takes I think one donut takes a minute off your 
time. So stop. just smash donuts in your face and then try to survive the race with a stomach full 
of donuts. Watching the front right now. One UAE rider on the front and the Vizma team is back 
working. Guys, looks like we’ve got two. Yeah, we got two Vizma riders here. This is going to 
be Sepkous and Simon Yates are back to support uh Yonas. Pogy’s right there, too. The UAE rider 
just pulled off. He’s done. He might have a little sit down on the side of the road. Maybe he needs 
coffee. So now I’m trying to look closely at the screen here and see this. Is he isolated? I think 
he’s think he’s still got Jonathan Narvay. So   Pogy still has Jonathan Narvas there. John, thank 
you so much, dude. Love it. Love the sports. Uh, okay, man. It’s just flying. Drew Schaefer’s 
here. Yeah, Drew. Exactly. Is Matteo called to help JV? I would guess. Yeah, the fact 
that he’s faded back, I just want to see. So, Lipawitz is on the hunt to catch Jorgensson. Now, 
I think Matteo might be just slowly sliding back. I’m hoping to get some race radio here, too. 
However, when Leapoitz catches Jorgensson, if he just kind of slides back, I’m going to then I 
think we know what Jorgensson is up to. They want   more Visma firepower on the front, hoping to crack 
uh Tatty. Tatty looks strong, though. Tatty looks strong again. John. Uh, everyone. Colec Kane. Uh, 
Colec Kane. I swear he was in day one. I’m gonna go look back today and see if Colec Kane was in 
the live chat in day one. Uh, Michael Carelli, hello. Been following you this week from Sudbury, 
Ontario. I tried to do a tour climb on Zift last   night. Crashed. Oh, it was my second time. I 
don’t know how they can power so hard up that hill. Dude, which one you doing? Oh, probably 
hotcom. hoticcom or actually guys right now   on Zift you have to do the hoticcom and the call 
de laaline they’re in the climb portal I haven’t done either of them because I don’t know when I’m 
gonna have time I’m thinking you got till August   3rd to get them done to unlock the Ddier diddy the 
devil suit uh you got till August 3rd I’m going to try to do it on the tour to France fems axswift 
uh stages they’re they’re shorter stages for me uh Lana saying it’s 10:30 at night for her wow 
Lana it’s late. Thanks for watching. Rich Rich Vanderford here watching listening while 
landscaping in North Carolina. Go Kanees.   So much Carolina support here too. I love 
it. Uh having a close look here, guys. Okay, so Jorgensson is 45 seconds back from the 
front end of the group. From the front, which is only two riders 
now, Ben Oconor and Obeyz. Okay, so he’s slowly drifting 
back almost 50 seconds now.   And then uh it’s 20 seconds back to Lipoitz. So I’m really interested to see what Jorgensson 
does with Lipoitz here. Um 15 riders in the yellow jersey group. We just lost one rider apparently 
out of that group. There was 16 there. Uh that could be just transponders. There is a drop rider 
here. Bargui Moleberg and Sair. I don’t think they were in that group at first. So I think there’s 
been one transponder just drop out there. Wow, dude. Bashock, dude. Love it, dude. Thank you 
for your support. Awesome, guys. What a great day we’re having here. Still a long ways from the 
finish, guys. Long ways from the finish. Uh we’re going to take a look here. 21 km still remaining. 
Uh this is the kind of thing if you were to put me on this course and a lot of my other cycling 
friends, we’d be climbing it probably, oh, I don’t know. Well, it’s long. It wears you 
down. You’d be probably like 10 kilometers   an hour. Best speed. Best speed of that. 
I am gonna have a quick look over here, guys. I want to see something. If I can do this in 
the background quickly. Do this in the background quickly for you guys. Uh, that might be locked 
up. So, I’m just going to hang out over here for   now. And it looks like my mouse might have frozen 
up there. Okay, we’re okay. We’re going to back out of this. We’re going to spectate it again. 
I want to get you some footage from elsewhere. Okay, two riders up front, guys. Ben O’ 
Connor going for JCola. He’s just hoping   the guys behind start slowing up. Both these 
two would love stage victory. I don’t think it’s really likely. Uh Jorgensson is 
now 1 minute and 5 seconds back. Okay,   Lipoitz is almost on Jorgensson. So, I’m 
watching over here. This actually might be really good to do this, guys. Uh let me see 
what I got going on. Can I do this right now? Okay, Lipoitz, try to get to him here. 
Jorgensson, guys, I think this is so awesome. We can do this. Uh, By Terra for the 
win, guys. By terror for the win right now, the little app that could check this out right 
here. Right now, this is showing you Leapowitz. And it looks like this is him catching Jorgensson 
here. I’m watching Jorgensson on screen right now. So that’s Jorgensson there. Leapit should be 
coming up on him now. So they did do a good job   here. They got more of a darkish colored jersey 
on Jorgensson. Leapowitz in the white jersey. I just want to make sure this is all correct 
here. Leading group is just up the road. We   got Ben O Connor. And can we see? We can see 
them down below. Take a look down below there, guys. Right down there. We can see the two riders 
that are chasing. That’s Jorgensson. So we got Ben   O Connor here in the purple jersey. Einer they 
got in the white for Moistar. So it’s just the the predominant color is what they’re using. Uh we 
can jump back to Florian and Lipoitz here. So the next guys are on this next straightaway ahead 
of us here. Uh they’re just up the hill. Can’t see them right here. Uh it says it’s 418 m. The 
yellow jersey is uh over a kilometer behind right now. Let’s just jump onto Well, let’s go to the 
man himself. Here’s Pogy. And there’s the popping of the other. So, the group is growing. Uh, group 
is bigger than that. I believe it was 15. Uh, the boys over at Bike Terra told me that they’re only 
displaying 12 at this point just for resources. Um, you can see the climb here, guys. Going up the 
switchbacks. Let’s take a look and see where Ben Connor. So, take a look at the map in the bottom 
right hand corner here. Just kind of memorize that little picture in your head. We’ll jump to Ben O 
Conor. So, they’re through the next switch back. They’re a full switch back ahead of the chase 
groups. Here’s the Leapoitz group. They’re just coming out of the switchback. They’re rounding 
a really hard bend here. Ooh, they’re they’re   gaining on them. These two are going to be gaining 
on the group ahead. Uh it’s 280 m to the Ben Oconor group. I think they’re catching them fast, 
guys. Um somewhere up ahead here, just kind of in what I call the fog of cycling, uh are the other 
two. Gonna do one last look here. Ben O Connor and Inar just down the hill around the corner are the 
chasers. Okay guys, I’m going to bounce back here now to the proper feed. Hope you guys like that. 
Uh, okay. Yeah, Bashock, dude. Thank you so much, man. You didn’t have to. Love it, guys. Bashock 
again, another OG guy. I’ve been probably riding   bikes with Bashock. You know what, guys? Here’s a 
crazy one. one of the first videos I ever did. It might have been video eight or nine. Uh, and 
actually I do know this for a fact because I used to say his name wrong all the time. His name 
is B A S A K. I used to call him Basic. It’s so funny. And he saw my video and he said, “Dude,” 
he goes, “It’s like ba ba shock. S H O C K.” And that’s what I’ve always called him. Uh, my first 
actual live race commentary video I did inside on Ruby. Bashock was in that race. It was captive 
for mentor. It was April of 2023, I believe. Uh, probably video eight or nine. It still exists. Uh, 
okay. Just catching up, guys. Dude, Bashak, thank you. John, everyone, Cole Kane, you’re the man. 
You are really the man. Lenny Martinez. Uh this is uh Stan Atuma here asking where Lenny Martinez 
is. Uh the that’s going to be the polka dot jersey   group. Uh quite a ways back right now. Polka dot 
jersey group right now is 18 minutes behind the leaders. Green Jersey group is 26 and 12 minutes 
back. Watching the feed. Yeah. So Jorgensson is just riding with Lipoitz now. I think Jorgensson 
came back on purpose and he’s just kind of like floating around in front in case Yonas can put 
an attack. He’s going to try to jump onto uh Jorgensson’s wheel and jump away. Tatty looks 
like he’s got it all covered, guys. Uh, okay. Bash’s got some great stuff here. Cold loses on 
Ruby took me 2 hours and 15 minutes uh in 2023. I may get it done in under two hours, but 6200 feet 
of elevation is just tiring. Yeah, dude. I see you guys doing all of it. I’m like, yeah, I’m staying 
away from that. Uh, guys, doing this every day. I’ve been doing this every day. I’ve having my 
rest days. I can’t complain too much cuz I do love   doing this. Uh I’m doing like 45 minute rides, 
maybe two 300 meters of climbing because that’s about all I can handle right now. Um someone’s 
asking why don’t I look live? This is Woo Chris. I don’t know if they’re looking for a video feed 
or not. Uh I’m seeing here 18.8. And if I look at the front end of the group here, 18. So, my my 
feed, my paid subscription feed I’m watching over here. I’m 200 meters behind the guys on the road 
right now. They’re at 18.5 km to the finish. Uh, yeah. So, oh, 3D wearables back. This guy’s from 
Idaho. Uh, he’s saying the Rockies provide a great player learn climbing through the growing years. 
Boise Idaho has two guys in the current tour of   to France. The other’s from Colorado. So, yeah, I 
know Matteo is from there. Who else is from Boise? Yeah, Bashock saying, “Yep, laughing it up here.” 
Uh, I am in the famous captor. That was one of my   very That was my first race commentary video. 
And again, probably video eight or nine. Uh, I think last night I’m at 379 videos. Uh, Brett 
Rogers saying, “Lanna, Yens is my all-time fave. I had his Yenvo sound app on my phone where you 
could play his shut up legs.” Derek J. Fielder here. Feedler here. Love seeing the stars and 
stripes jersey. Dude, that’s a great jersey.   I love it. Uh it just stands out more than the 
traditional stripes around the the middle. Okay guys, let’s catch up with what’s going on. 18.2 
km to go. Ben O Connor Rodeo Reyes being pursued 136 back. Florian Lipoitz third place overall 
today. Uh Matteo Jorgensson, you can see here he’s 20th place overall today. So he’s not a big 
threat to Pogy. Uh it’s 136 back to our group of 13 riders. All the hitters. Uh first, second 
place, fourth place, fifth place, sixth place, seventh place. They’re all here. Felix G did 
go on an attack earlier. Uh he has done very well on his climb. Look at Johansson still here 
for Yuno X Mobility. What a champ. This guy here uh this is the guy that uh crossed the finish line 
at Vonu totally out of air. Uh went for oxygen. They did take him to the hospital just, you know, 
precautionary. I’m sure he was just exhausted. Eighth place for UNOX UCI points, baby. The year, 
the cycle for UCI relegation ends in 2025. It’s this year. Uh, what’s the big deal about that? If 
you’re a UCI world tour team, you get automatic invites to all the World Tour events, which 
is great, but you have to attend them all. So, you got to attend all the grand tours. You got 
to attend certain week stage races. You got to attend all the monuments. Uh I think there’s 36 
events in total that you have to attend. Uh so maybe it’s a bit too much at times, but you could 
be like Q36.5 that didn’t get a wild card event entry to the tour to France. We’re not going 
to see Tom Pidcock again until Lavalta. Evard, thank you very much, dude. Uh, I’ve already got uh 
I’m going to have a sip of coffee right now, guys. Visma controlling the front 
of this 13 rider group. Oh, Will Barta is from Idaho as well. 
Okay, I didn’t know that. Robert, impressed with you knuckleheads who 
have ridden some of these mountains.   I’ve only done them virtually, guys. I I know 
people in Europe that have done a lot of them uh just through this whole inside cycling thing I 
got going on. I’ve met people all over the world and I try to remember something about every one 
of them. Uh yeah, Avar, thank you so much, dude. Um how do I do this? I’m just trying to think 
how I do that. So again guys, uh yeah guys, love the support here from everyone. Uh just 
the fact that everyone’s in the chat here. Okay,   guys, watching this now. Leapowitz is 
pulling away from Jorgensson right now. Leapowitz is out of the saddle and going. 
Jorgensson is just, you know, se seated,   dieseling up. It’s an 8% gradient here, guys. 
Uh they’re not even halfway up it. They’ve been climbing this for looks like about 9 
kilometers. 17.4 km remaining. This is a climb I’ve never done on Ruby and I don’t know 
if I’m too interested to do it at this point. The good thing about these the inside events 
is you can meet up with people from all over   the world and ride them in groups. 
Jonathan Ova is just hanging out. Oh, it looks like Jonathan Virus is just blowing out 
the back. Nope, he’s having a look back for the   car and it looks like he’s still accelerating. 
Probably sticky bottle time. Actually, really quick bottle exchange there. He was grabbing a 
bottle, though. So, Jorgensson is now slipping   back more. Either he’s done or he’s more needed 
to help Yonas right now. He’s letting Lipoets go. Um, okay. So, Will Bart here, thanks 3D wearable. 
Uh, Boise, Idaho, rides from Movar. John Shady, if any of you can’t help calling out, it will 
help him be able to keep doing these things.   Every little bit helps. Yeah, John. So true, guys. 
I hate Yeah, I’m glad other people help promote me because I’m the world’s worst promoter. I just I 
keep doing this, guys. We have like over,00 people   watching. This is pure insanity. Um NBC, I’m right 
here. Take a look. This is how you do it. Uh we got Alvaro Cess. Hi, where is Tim Wellness 
from UAE? I think Tim is way back right now. I’m going to say he’s in the green jersey group 
where a lot of there’s 66 riders back here. Uh Tim Wellins was important earlier on the stage. 
He went out by himself. I’m positive he’s back in this group back here. Uh in the green jersey 
group, they’re 26 and a half minutes back. Uh funny this little king of the mountain jersey 
group. There’s been five riders all day. Burgido, Tron, Lenny Martinez, Fred Wright, and Mororrow 
Schmidt from JC Ola. Mororrow Schmidt got a second place at the tour this year. Let’s take a look at 
him. We can see this real quick. I think it was   second place on stage 10. Second place on stage 
11, guys. He missed first place after the rest day by maybe half a wheel. So, he’s sitting 108th 
overall right now at the tour. Close that down, guys. Just Yeah. Like I live and breathe tour 
to France right now. And everything’s cycling. After this, it’s more uh be looking at more uh of 
the women’s cycling. So much good cycling there, too, guys. Uh and again, pretty controversial 
tour last year, how it went down, the crash, how their team reacted. They basically left their 
t they basically left the tour to France leader in the yellow jersey laying on the ground. Her 
car showed up. They didn’t for some reason signal to their riders to slow it down. the 
other riders who saw the yellow jersey laying   out just said screw it, we’re going. They just 
left her. Uh, and I know that I mean, and again, it’s heat of the moment, too, though. Like, what 
do you do? You’re another racer. You’re like,   well, what do I do? Do I stop? Like, I don’t know 
what to do. Um, Boise has a very strong cycling community that drive the modern cycling 
science. Okay, dude. Good to know that, dude. I can see team radios at time. Uh, so I 
do have my live feed up here and I’m reading it as I see them. I probably miss them once in 
a while. Uh, it’s just what’s being broadcast. Yeah, when I see them, I’ll give them 
to you, man. As soon as I see them,   I let them know. Like they’re really pumped about 
Leapowitz right now. Uh, they were really stoked about Matteo earlier. Guys, let’s take a look 
again what’s going on here. And if I can show you   some of the catches going on, I will. So we’ve got 
uh Ben O Connor and Onar Rubio Reyes at the front. Lipoitz riding solo again. Had Matteo with him. 
He’s 2 minutes back almost. Jorgensson is now 30 seconds behind Lipoitz. Uh and then we’ve got the 
big guns coming. They’re only 34 seconds behind uh the yellow jersey group here. You got to say 
that. And most people said this, you know, guys, I watch all the same stuff you guys do. And just 
when you think about it, if there’s going to be an   attack that’s going to succeed, it’s going to be 
on the last climb of the day. To think that Yonas and Vizma will go full out on the Glandon, that’s 
too risky. Even on the Maline, although they did, they put in attacks on the Mataline, which was 
pretty shocking to me. I I didn’t expect that. Um, okay. So, Dawn saying, “Purple C means 
you overlook my question early.” Okay,   I didn’t see that. Um, yeah, great question, Jason. What might happen 
if the riders caught up with the caravans? Dude,   I would jump in the back and 
go for a ride. The caravan, the caravan’s way up the road right now. 
Actually, if you look at the tour website,   it’ll tell you the arrival time of all the 
things. The caravan sets out two to three hours before the tour does every day to kind of 
entertain all the fans on the side of the road. Favorite cycle? Ride your bike. Ride your 
bike. Ride your bike. Fost copy. Legend. Uh Evard saying had a delivery at the Dutch 
consulate. Asked him if they could have Aname Vanvalutin’s phone number reception. Yeah, 
super champion. So guys, there’s this is only the fourth edition. Ben Oconor attacking now on 
IMAR. No reaction from Inar Rubio Reyes. Ben’s going for a stage win here, guys. He’s hoping it’s 
going to let off in the back. Ben is now off the   front. We’re seeing it now here. 15.3 km. Wow. 
At this point here, I’m only 100 meters behind on the speed. So, that’s getting really good. 
Uh Ben’s leading solo for JCO Alula. They’re probably going insane in the team car. uh 
9% gradient the hero guys this is no joke uh already 16 seconds back super 
strong attack by Ben Oconor there uh you know he’s moved from I think 
he was AG2R Leondiel I don’t think he even was on the Dathlon team and 
then he went to Jolo Alula over the   offseason there coffee is getting hotter by 
the second guys I love it Lipoitz riding solo Let’s have a good look here. I want 
to see what’s going on on the map. So, yeah, lots of groups everywhere, guys. Uh, 
one, two, three groups. This is the Leapro group.   Here is yellow jersey. Fifth place, Jagat, 
Aaron. So, Aeron was up front all day. So was Muleberger. Muielberger went down on one of 
the corners. Wow. He’s 24th overall for Oastar. uh this sixth group out there. Ben 
Healey, Valentine, Matto, Bari, Xander, actually it’s Xandro I think 
Mark Solair and Braago Badin for EF on the front right now. I can see Vizma still 
working the front. Pogy hanging in there. Guys,   this is how it Okay, they’re now gaining 
on Matteo. I’m going to watch this close, guys. I want to see how Matteo reacts to 
them coming through. If he sits on the front   planted and works, then we know the attack’s 
coming. Um, looks like Ben O Connor just guys, you see that? I kind of ducked down. I wanted 
to see under the banner. He’s just gone under   the 15k banner. Vizma comes by. Looks 
like Simon Yates on the front. Matteo is looking over at them. 9% grading here. 
I think they’re having a little chitchat. Is Matteo gonna slot in here and do some work? 
He’s talking to Jonas now. Throws a bottle away. Pogy’s looking fine. I think Jonathan Arivas 
is still there. Let me just check that for you   guys here. I can’t believe Valon got back 
on. I thought Valon was going to lose two, three minutes today, but he fought his way 
back in. Yeah, Jonathan Narvay is there in this group. Okay, Matteo Jorgensson is just 
sliding down the back of this group. I think he’s going to go with the back. He’s now last 
place rider in this group. Now standing up and I think he will get distance here. Slovenian 
flags flying guys. Fly them proud. Okay. Uh 3D wearable. Dude, thank you so much. David Robs, 
you’re doing a great job. Great work. Thank you so   much, David. Thanks for being here. Uh guys, we’re 
killing it. 1160 people watching. Mind blown. Uh Joey Jojo is going to wake up and probably scream 
at the top of her lungs. I got to get her off to   work here soon. She usually goes into work for 10, 
so we’re all good. Uh, thanks to Inside Cycling World Chants, perhaps we could build a sport. 
Thanks for Yeah, we need way more coverage in the   US and North America in general. Uh, Kim Szo here 
is asking, there is a group of 13 riders. Let’s see if it’s still 13 riders. Uh, Tatty, Vizma on 
the front. So, it’s three Vizma riders, then Pogy for UAE. I can see Matteo has gone straight out 
the back. So he kind of had like a little chitchat   with the boys as he was going by and just went 
straight out the back. So not a strategic move or a tactical move uh to bring Matteo back to help. 
He was just tired. So off the front again, Ben O Connor solo warrior. 14.1 km of climbing still to 
go though guys. Any climb that’s 14 km long will basically be almost an HC climb. And uh we haven’t 
even done half the call to loss yet. We’ve got more remaining than what we’ve done. The field is 
absolutely splintered. Sepus on the riding ahead of Yonas. Simon needs ahead of him. Then we’ve got 
uh Pogy and looks like that little bouncing style small frame. That’s Adam Yates there. Let me just 
check to make sure that’s Adam Yates. Uh yep, the Yates brothers are there. So, he is there. Michael 
Store there doing well. So, Matteo Jorgensson looked like he was on a good day, but just not 
feeling it yet. Guys, this has been a brutal day, I got the cat talking to me 
outside the door. Okay. Uh, Juan Miguel Lorenzo, you think Roick will ever 
have a chance to win in the next years? probably when Pogy sits out. Uh well, it’s kind of like 
it before. Primos could probably still will live well till this year if he goes to it. I don’t 
think Primos a age has gotten way past him now. I think the oldest ever winner of a tour to 
France was 35 and Rodick is 36 right now. Um who would be now Chris her won the Velta at 42, 
but that’s a totally different story. Uh yeah, Pogy sitting it out. I can’t see it. If he 
sits it out, Vingo would want to win again. Uh, but Primos looks awesome right now. Matteo, Dan, 
Matteo just kind of faded out from Florian. I thought he might be going back. I wasn’t sure 
what they were planning there. He took a look   at the Vizma boys and just kind of drifted out the 
back and he’s gone now. So, he’ll be riding solo to the finish. Probably going to be picked up by 
some of the riders behind them. I want to see if there’s any close gaps we can see right now. 
The gaps are almost a little bit too big. Uh, I’m going to say this Jagat group, Jordan Jagat 
here, 11th place overall for Total Energies. He’s actually that’s a great position for them. 
Um, they’re going to probably pick up Matteo   Jorgensson. They’re showing Kevin Bakalon here now 
riding at the back. Simon Yates pushing the front hard. Sepkous as well. Yonis Vingo. When did they 
decide to go? Let’s take a little look at the map, guys. See what we can figure out here. They are 
pretty close together here. Let’s have a little   quick peek. We’re going to do this right now. Uh 
let me just get this refreshed in the background for you guys. It’s actually auto refreshing 
now in Ber. These guys are working on this   thing every day right now. Here’s Ben O Connor 
in the lead. Ernest Einer Roberto Reyes. Wow, he’s pretty close. So, what we’re going to do 
just so I can show you what’s going on live here, guys. Uh remember, I can’t show you video. My 
channel gets taken down. Wow, dudes. 66 people watching. Who are you nuts? Uh right now guys, I 
know people are coming in and out. This is Bike Terra, brand new app. Not brand new, it’s the 
newest of the apps out there. Uh we’re looking at Robe Reyes riding second place right now. 
Important thing is to look at the bottom right hand corner. That switchback he’s going through 
through this town. Well, this is Corchal they’re going through now, guys. This is Corchal. 
So, when you look on the side of the road,   what are these big square things? Just simple 
representations of the buildings in the area. Now, what I want to show you here is take a look 
at Ben Oconor up the road. Um, he’s on the same straightaway. He Robero Reyes is just around 
the corner back there. Uh, I’m going to jump back to him quickly and see if I can get the camera 
figured out quickly. Uh, what’s the distance? Actually, it’s 333 m. So Ben’s actually moving 
along pretty good through town there. We’ll jump back to Lipoitz. He’s 600 meters back. So he’s 
entering Corvel now. We’re going to bounce back some more to the yellow jersey group. We’ll jump 
straight to Pogy. They’re on a bit of a downhill descent here. Let’s see how the climb kicks in, 
guys. You can see their speed. 85k an hour right   now. And it’s going to slowly drop because they’re 
going to start climbing now. They’re they’re starting the switch back turn here. They’re going 
to turn around to the left here. here. A big broad   switch back here to the left. Four 4% gradient. 
It’s already climbing now. Speed’s dropping fast here. Now they’re down to 56k an hour already. 
And you can see the buildings of Corvel are just up here on the right hand side. And then 
we go right through the heart of Cororcheel. So this is our group guys. This is what’s 
absolutely happening on the road. I think this group is only 13. So, there might be 
one rider missing. Again, I said earlier, uh, they’re only showing 12 for resources. 
Remember, this is all browser based. Um, guys, get a bike. Get a smart trainer. You can ride 
these same climbs. It’s so simple to do. Um, you got Bike Terra, you got Zift, you got Ruby, 
you got My Whoosh, you got Training Peaks Virtual. All great platforms. This is the only one that 
allows you to do this though. Uh, very simple to create rides on here. Here’s Florian Leipoitz. 
So, he’s just came around the bend tatting those guys. Wow. They’re just like one corner behind 
him there. Looks like they’re pulling him back.   They’re at 283 meters behind him. Rubbero Reyes 
uh is looks like he’s 800 meters up the road and Ben O Connor’s pulled out a more of a gap. 
They’re probably screaming at Ben Oconor. So,   Ben O Conor’s left town. Let’s take a look at 
the map down here. Uh so you can see how the climb continues. Guys, I hope you guys find that 
useful. Going to jump back to the map view here and we’ll resume guys. We will resume. So again, 
that switch back you’re seeing there right now. If you look at the top of the screen, I’ll put 
it in the middle with the yellow blob. This is   the main group. 11 riders here. We lost someone. 
That was that switch back I was watching before. Who’s in this group here? Pogy, Vindigo, Oscar, 
only Primos, Vocalon, Felix, Gaul, Johansson, Septcus, Nvias, Yates. Uh, looks like we’ve lost 
Simon Yates. Simon was doing all the pace setting there. Uh, I’m going to start watching over 
here now, guys. Yeah, Simon Yates at the back.   They’re just showing it now. Uh, I think he’ll 
recover and be able to get back up to speed. Yeah. So SW saying the Walter race uh riding 
the Maline and Zift stopped halfway up. That thing is massive. Oh yeah, dude. It is massive. 
Uh dude, and there’s bigger ones than that,   too. Uh Matteo was with the yellow jersey 
group and straight out the back. Uh guys, lots of comments. Lots of comments. 
Oo, 1400 people watching. Joey Jojo,   uh you guys have made her day today, guys. 
Uh all the supporters here, all the viewers, all the commenters, you guys have made my 
day. It’s probably the best day in a long   time. I had a young dude uh on my trainer 
that made 1189 watts. He’s only been on a bike for three months. He’s only 20 years old. 
Dude, what does he weigh? What does he weigh? Uh oh. Slide direction here. Tatty must be doing a 
Yonas on Yonas. By Yonas, I mean uh being a wheel sucker. Uh yeah, exactly. Drew Drew Schaefer here. 
Dude, where you from? Uh Yonas, Tatty’s best super domestic ever. Yeah, Yonas. Tatty’s just content 
to sit there and mark the moves. That’s his job today. He doesn’t have to attack. Uh Yonas has 
to attack, but they’re so equal. Like right now, I would say they’re very equal. Uh I know there’s 
a lot of Pogy France, but Yonas is so close. If anywhere, it’ll be, you know, Pogy Drop him in the 
last 100 meters, something like that. Unless he’s   really out to prove it today. Now, he might be 
out to prove it today, guys, cuz this is a climb he’s kind of crumbled on twice before. It’s been 
this climb in particular that Pogy hasn’t liked. But it’s crazy now, guys. We’ve got two UAE riders 
setting pace up front. Pogy riding third. This is really smart by UAE. They’re just saying, “Hey, 
guys, we can do the leading two. We’re just as strong.” Uh, we still have two Vizma riders here. 
Okay. I thought it was uh Simon Yates’s back. So, we got Sept Cus and Yonas here. We’ve got three 
UAE guys. So, Jonathan Nervaz is there. Uh, remember he started that huge assault up the 
hotcom. Okay, so we we know we got Pogy here. We’ve got Yates and Jonathan Nirvasz. I’m not 
seeing him on this list, but he’s there. Okay, so we’re going to bounce up to this section here, 
guys. Uh, Ben Oconor still has 10 kilometers to go, guys. He’s in the easy sections at 7%. 7% 
grade. That’s the kind where your car is kind of struggling up. It’s, you know, you’re going to 
downshift in your car to get up a 7% grade. Uh, Rubio Reyes. Uh, 115 back from Ben. So, Ben’s 
putting in a huge attack here. Getting energy gels from the team car. Hopefully, they’re 
not sticky ones. They probably are sticky. I think that’s why I don’t use energy gels. 
I think they’re sticky. Florian Lipoitz.   um still doing really well. I think the yellow 
jersey group’s going to pull him back. Uh looks like he’s faded a little bit at this point. He 
is third overall on the road, but not gaining anymore on Rubio Ruiz Riaz uh yellow jersey 
group. Kevin Valon out the back end. So he’s 16 seconds back. He needs to get back in. TV just 
happens to be showing him right now. Uh right now we are seeing Ben go under the 10 km barrier 
there and it says he’s got 9.7 km to go. Uh Goji here. Uh who you got for the stage? Pogy 
or Yonas? I mean Ben’s got 10 kilometers to go. Uh let’s see. He’s got a threeminut lead 
but he’s got 10 km to go up one of the most brutal climbs in the world. watching from Bise 
is Elston Wade. Uh Jonathan was saying by terror time. How long ago was that? 8:47. That was 
a little bit ago. I’ll I’ll jump back in. Uh Iard who in North America knew about 
bike racing when they were 12. I guess   I learned about it when I was 14 or 15. That was 
40 years ago though, guys. Drew saying via Sports Illustrated in the 60s. Michelle Gallow Horntol 
Levalta. He was full of EP last year. Yeah, they say that about him. He won he won a grand 
tour at 42 years old. Uh I should go back and watch that race. I remember his when he took 
it. It was like all cloudy. Really cool looking   stage. I’m going to go back and watch that you 
knuckleheads. Henrik Gustafing go vinga go fly. Marillo sea tattywin. Not yet. It’s getting close 
guys. Uh saw a picture of the gavia pass when I was a little kid. Bicycles and mountains. Mind 
blown. Did pre bike for years. Didn’t discover bike racing till college. So guys, let’s take a 
look again. Man, I’m cheering for Ben O Connor. I am cheering for Ben O’ Conor. Who gives him 
any chance of surviving? I actually don’t, but I’m cheering for him. Uh Rabo Reyes looks 
like he’s brought it back a little bit. I think he’s recovered and feels more comfortable because 
the gap’s going down to Ben right now. It was a   bit harder than that before. 118 right now. Uh, 
Lipoitz is 1 minute and 51 seconds behind Robo. Uh, and right now I’m watching this. Felix Gaul. 
Okay, he was grabbing a drink way over far on the side of the road there. But he does go out quite 
wide. I think he’s trying to look up the road. Two   UAE riders. Jonathan Narvay riding on the front. 
So strong. Oh, we got a dude in a speedo. Got a random dude in a speed on side of the road. Kevin 
Vocalon trying to get back on, guys. Uh yeah, his uh position here on the GC is pretty sketchy right 
now. He’s 30 seconds behind the yellow jersey group. Nine riders here. Pogy, Vingo, Oscar only, 
Primos, Felix G, Johansson, Septcus, Adam Yates, Michael Store. So Simon Yates is out. We’ve 
lost him for sure. We saw that happen earlier. Wow. Wow. Vakalon’s got to get back on,   guys. Uh to the finish right now. We 
got 8.4 kilometers to go, guys. Uh Dante here. Any link? Dude, this I 
do. It’s kind of like a watch along,   listen along party. Uh I tell you what I see as 
it’s going on. If I could show you the video, I would. Maybe when the channel becomes super 
huge, um I’ll somehow to be able to access rights to him. Oh, I think Joey Jojo is awake. Joey Jojo 
gives me a super sticker. Thank you very much, Joey Jojo. You do too much for me already. Um, 
trying to shut this back. Let’s go back to the live chat if I can. Live chat. Uh, Drew. Oh, 
wow guys, I bounced way ahead there. Sorry. Uh, that’s right. Wait, as long as Tatty sticks with 
Yonas, he’ll stay ahead in the GC. Yeah. So right   now, Pogy is 4 minutes and 15 seconds ahead 
of Yonas. So if Yonas finishes 15 seconds up the road ahead of Pogy, Danish flags are 
out in full force here, guys. Uh they’re really like there’s flags everywhere. Um 
if he finishes 15 seconds ahead today, he’s still four minutes behind. It’s a stage race. 
You got to bring that time back. Jonathan Navayz out of the saddle here. Uh pushing hard for UAE. I 
don’t know who that second rider is there for UAE. It’s Yates. Okay, I did know that. So, we got 
Narvas and Yates. One, two combo here. Uh, we might see an attack by Pogy. If he feels good, 
he knows he can do it. I think in Pogy’s head, he knows I know Yonas is very, very close to 
how good I am right now. Canadian flags are out, too, guys. Um, Slovenian flags everywhere, 
of course. actually backs off a little bit here down to 4% gradient in this section 
if you can believe that. That’s uh yeah,   you can see here Valon is now in the 4% gradient. 
He’s 30 seconds back just dangling. Uh I want to show you why that’s important as I get blinded 
again. Uh Kevin Valon is at 1320. Felix Gaul is at 1450. So one and a half minutes back, Felix Gaul 
is ahead of Kevin Valon on the road right now. So that could be a big flip-flop in the standings. Johansson’s still there for Yuno X. Like what 
a huge win. Like guys, obviously Pogy leading the tour to France is massive. I think the biggest 
thing going right now is this Johansson dude right   here. Eighth place, UnoX Mobility. They are not a 
World Tour team. They are a pro series team. They are trying to fight their way into the world tour. 
You How you do that? accumulate UCI points over a three-year cycle. These guys may be getting in 
there this year. Someone gets relegated, too. Uh, okay. Just catching up. Alfonso Jose de Go 
from the Philippines, dude. Awesome. Yep. So, I’m going to catch up guys from Minnesota now 
in Southern California. Southern Colorado.   That’s Drew Schaefer. Ben’s still looking good, 
guys. Let’s see what the gap’s like now. So, he has pulled a bit of time back from Rubio 
Reyes. 7.2 km to go. The roads are wet here, but it just looks like it’s something from a 
building nearby. Maybe uh someone left their   sprinkler on overnight. Roads are dry. However, 
it does look like it’s getting cloudy up here. There’s no shadows on the road anymore. We are 
entering the clouds. Uh I have no idea if there’s rain up ahead. People are all over the roads 
here. They’re not behind the barricades yet. Rubio Reyes is 1 minute 32 back. Uh Lipowitz 
has been caught by the yellow jersey group. So he’s going to try to hang on in there now. 
Hopefully he’s on form and he doesn’t get spat   out the back. I’ll let you know as soon as 
I see that. Vocal on 38 seconds back guys. And yes to that coffee. Thanks so much for 
watching guys. Commenting uh input. That’s right. of our Greg Lemon’s greatest quote ever. 
It doesn’t get any less painful. You just get   faster. That’s right. Dixon’s here as well. With 
Nirva in front, I can see Pogy will attack. Dude, that’s what I’m thinking, too. They got Nirva 
setting pace right now. UAE is trying to show that they’re the stronger team. A lot of this is just 
mind games. Then some Adam Yates is in second. He’s going to take a pull and then Pog is going 
to go for it. I think he’s going to wait till   maybe the last kilometer or two. Uh just so if he 
does have a problem, Yonas can’t steal 4 minutes back from him. Uh we’re seeing the arrival sign 
here at uh Cold Deal. Yeah, it’s fully misty and foggy up here. People have umbrellas out. Everyone 
is fully decked out in rain gear here, guys. So, these guys are climbing the mountains. Uh it’s 
13 degrees Celsius now on course. Uh, they’re in, like I like to joke around, they’re basically in 
their underwear riding down the roads. It was hot.   They’re sweaty. Uh, and now they’re going to be 
freezing at the top. You’ll notice afterwards that Pogy always has like a a woolen cap on, as I would 
call a toque here in Canada. That’s the actual name for it, guys. A toque. Uh, Uncle Matty, hit 
the like button, guys. Yeah, guys, I see my likes and I know it’s going up, guys. My like counter 
says zero right now. It just kind of stalls out on this one for some reason. It’s fine. Uh but 
yeah, please like, subscribe, join the channel, guys. This dude here too around the world. Thank 
you so much, dude. Like and subscribe. It is free, dude. Exactly. It’s free to like and subscribe. Uh 
the more that you guys like. So, all the Filipino uh people that are watching right now, they found 
the channel because it’s next on YouTube. Their   Filipino stream got shut down. Someone in the 
Philippines is streaming it. It got shut down. I’m next. Uh, and I’m doing it the right way, 
the way that is okay to do it. And hopefully I can tell you what’s going on the road, uh, in 
a way that makes sense to you. I think we might jump back here for a second so you can see this. 
I just want to see the map here quickly. Oo, yeah, guys, we’re going back to Ber. I know you guys 
love Berra. Make sure you say uh, hi in the chat to the bike terra boys. That actually really helps 
my channel out, guys. Uh, I know they watch this here. This is the Pogy group right now. Watch this 
here, guys. Uh we’re gonna go sit with Lipoitz. He was just caught. We’re catching Rubo ahead of us 
right now. So, it says we’re catching Rubeo Reyes right now. Look at the speed at which they’re 
coming up on him. So, and I’m watching over here on TV at the same time. Sorry, on my PC. It’s 
not a TV. Uh Jonathan Nvayas still driving the front. There must have been a big So, there’s 
speed slowed down there. So, I imagine there’s like a big gradient change there. 7% gradient at 
that point. We can see uh Ryan Inar Rubio or Rea is up ahead. I’m looking for him here. What I’m 
going to do is I’m going to jump back here quickly as you guys are on that. And okay, I’m not sure 
if that’s correct. We may be getting some weird transponder stuff because he still has more of a 
gap than that to them. So, let’s just jump back   again. I will jump back in here. I’m not even sure 
if I’m on it. Yeah, I am on it. Going to jump back here. Every time I jump out kind of screws it up. 
So, I think he’s actually further ahead. Okay, so this is on Rubes. We’ll see what happens when 
I jump back. Let’s jump up to Ben O Connor here. You can see how close Ben Connor is to the finish. 
He’s going hard. There’s an airport up here at the   top of Korchal. I don’t know if it’s as crazy as 
the one that pyaguds 11% gradient through here, guys. And it’s a very uh technical ascent 
really. The road switches around everywhere, corners everywhere. It’s like they pieced it all 
together to get up there. I think it goes from   roads to more of like bike paths up the side of 
this giant ski area here. So, Ben Oconor looking really good in the uh purple of JCO Alula. 
Going back to the yellow jersey here. Uh, who do you guys want to see? Let’s check out Oscar 
only here. Young rider there. I’m seeing one rider at the back. What I’m going to do here, I’m not 
sure if he’s closing out. I’m going to jump back   to the race data and see how that all corresponds 
to what we’re seeing there. So, 5.1 km to go for Ben Oconor. He’s got a 1 minute 50-second gap here 
to Roberto Reyes. Yeah. So that data I think was off a little bit and that’s going to happen guys. 
This whole thing that uh bike terror has been doing is basically a beta to see how this works 
out. See how they can improve it and implement.   We got 10 riders left in this group. Pogy Vingo 
Lipoitz only Primos Felix Gansen Sepus Al Narvay and Adam Yates. I’m just looking here at the feed 
now. Uh okay so this is Ben O Connor. This is him getting to the 5 kilometer mark for me right now. 
It says 4.9 on screen there. So, we’re really on good schedule here today to finish. Nice. Reginald 
Benran, hello. Very nice coverage. Uh from the Philippines, dude, nice to have you here. Um Drew 
Shaver lived by Lake Geneva, I think he’s saying here. 1997 2010. Wow, dude. Uh Kim Szo from the 
Philippines as well. Uh, Zephr, Yonas wasn’t equal to Pog on the climate. Yeah, you’re right, dude. 
He wasn’t. So, I had the discussion yesterday.   Don Don had to leave. He did correct me, and 
he is absolutely right. As soon as I said it, I thought Jonathan Nvive just pulls off, hits the 
brakes. He might be jumping into a camper van. Uh, I think that’s happened before. I know it has. 
There was a story Leapowitz just hanging on   the back where one of the pro cyclists jumped 
out, needed to go to the bathroom in a big way if you get my drift. They’re actually showing the 
airport now. Um, and use someone’s camper van. Uh, you can guess, right? You know, if you know, 
you know. Uh, hopefully they gave him some water bottles and jerseys after the tour. Hopefully the 
team car stopped and gave him something. But yeah, so at the mountain time trial, Pogy beat Yonas 
by 36 seconds. I think there was a little bit in the equipment choice that day. Uh, Yonas picked 
all the wrong equipment. I don’t know what his   team was thinking. Uh, the only arrow parts of 
that course were the first three kilometers. So, you’re on a time trial bike. Uh, that helmet could 
not have helped him in the final eight kilometers. I mean, that big goofy helmet, all you’re doing is 
catching wind then. Um, who else is here? I don’t know who this is here. Wow, James Anderson. 
Dude, thank you so much. Love the channel, Connell. keep up the great coverage and thank 
you for all your hard work and long days,   dude. Thank you so much and I appreciate everyone 
being here uh inside cycling world uh loves the support. Yeah. So, he lost 36 seconds. I think 
maybe let’s say 20 seconds if he would have picked the right equipments. But then on Hodiccom, he 
definitely got blown out of the water by Pogy.   When Jonathan Narbias attacked, uh, he attacked, 
Pogy went, Yonas went, Yonas was only able to maintain his attack as long as Jonathan Nvias was 
pulling. They both basically pulled over to the   right at the same time. And Pogy Jonas just said, 
“Okay, I’m done.” And Pogy just assaulted 14% gradient through here, guys. Uh, looks like one 
UAE rider, Adam Yates, on the front. And I can see Pogy right there. It’s a really long camera shot. 
Uh there’s people every inch of this climb going up here. Windy. Super windy up here actually. 
Adam Yates on the front. Slovenian flags flying. German flags are too. Fans are out. The fans are 
out like in their jackets with their hoodies up. It’s that cold up here. Uh says it’s 10° C. 
And it does say it’s raining. I’m not really seeing much on course yet. 13% gradient, guys. If 
you’ve never done it on a bike, you don’t want to. Uh, yeah, that’s right, Drew. They used to say 
that the mountain categorizations basically represented what gear you had to be in your car. 
So, if you’re in a cat one hill, you’re going to   be in first gear in your car. That was kind of the 
joke at the time. Maybe it was true way back when. Uh, oh wow. Okay, still flying, guys. Absolutely 
flying. Joey Jojo, how do you like this? Awesome stuff. I know Joey appreciates this. Uh right 
now I know John’s asking here. So guys, three and a half kilometers finish, 3.4. Uh wow, Ben O 
Connor might get a stage win here, guys, for Jac Alula. Absolute win at this year’s tour to France. 
Absolute win for them. He’s got a two-minute lead over Roberto Reyes, who is a one-minute lead over 
the yellow jersey group. There’s only six riders there, guys. It’s falling apart as we go. Probably 
started getting blown apart in that 14 15% zone. Felix Gaul still hanging on here. There should 
be six riders here. Oscar only still there too. Yonas is now isolated. So exactly the flip-flop of 
what they wanted. We got Pogy Vingo. Oscar only. Primos Rogick. Going to keep saying it, man. Keep 
riding, dude. Do not retire. Felix Gol and Adam Yates. Lipoitz is out the back. So he couldn’t 
maintain what he was doing earlier. Uh he was looking really good. Probably went out a little 
too hard. Uh Kevin Valon still trying to work his way back. He’s just passing by Jonathan Narvayz. 
I think the Pogy attack is going to come in the last kilometer when it’s safe enough for him to do 
it. Um any further out you could still lose a lot of time. The last time I think it was this hill 
here. Was it this hill or the hoticome? There was a 4 kilometer segment where Tatty suffered and he 
lost three minutes and 57 seconds. So, you don’t want to go too early. Ben Oconor. Yeah. Getting it 
done, man. I would love 2.8 km to finish. I just went under the 3 kmter barrier here on my stream. 
Uh, that’s as live as I’m going to get right now, I think. Yeah, it looks cold up here. There are 
raindrops on the camera. The roads do look damp now. Okay, guys. This is good. This is getting 
good. Here we go, folks. So, look at these groups. Ben O Connor is like a full Yeah, he’s a good 
distance up the roads now. Uh but these groups   chasing is probably going to get caught. Here’s 
the the six riders that are pursuing now. Who thinks this bike terror time? Let me know. Uh 
Evard saying bike terror is awesome. Uh John’s   asking how far back in time are the red and green 
jersey groups? Uh yeah, John, they’re a long ways from the front to the back. Green Jersey is 
33 minutes back to the green jersey and the red jersey. They’re there together. There was five 
riders in the mountain climbers jersey in a group like virtually all day. They finally been picked 
up by the green jersey group. You know what?   They’re probably like, “Why are we doing this 
work by oursel? Let’s just fly on back and hang out with the groupetto.” Uh once we’re done, we’re 
going to see how bad the cut off time’s going to   be. Uh going to get back to I like the map view 
now, guys. You know, I love my maps. Ben O Connor just flying as hard as he can. Just bury yourself, 
dude. You need this stage win for JCO Alula. Uh uh learn to saying YouTube keeps 
bouncing him back to blank. Dude, yeah, I have no idea what YouTube does. I’m sorry. Yeah, Ben O Connor looks like he’s going for the 
stage win guy unless he falls apart. Um looks like there is a bit of a descent here too, guys. I 
I can see them going downhill right now. Okay, so that that’s slightly delayed. So, there was a 
little downhill section even on that climb. Just   like a couple hundred meters of it as they kick 
up to the next section. Yeah, the roads are wet up here, guys. Raindrops are on the camera. Uh, 
just going to be very uncomfortable for them. Uh, Drew saying, “Your lower right 
thumbnail shows all the ski lifts, the dotted lines.” Oh, I wonder 
if you’re talking about Big Terra. Oh, check this out. The 20-year-old who made 1189 
peak watts, 145 pounds two days ago. I didn’t ask him. Oh, wow. He was in Birkenstocks on 
flat pedals. There was a thrift video,   dude. I’m going to watch that later. Okay. See 
who this young dude is. Ben is making up for Oh, yes. Uncle Maddie. Ben is making up for the budgy 
smugglers wave crash from early yesterday. Grant   Thomas talked about it. Love the budgie smugglers. 
Uh sometimes here in Canada we call it a pickle dish if you get my drift. Uh Adam Yates out 
of the saddle right now pacing Poggy. Uh they look like they’ve just gone under the 3 km go 
barrier a little bit less than that now. It’s   probably like 2.8 km. Ben Oconor is now 2 km 
1.9 there in an 11% segment. So JCO Alula what else have they done this tour? Ben Oconor’s 
been at the front a lot. No sprint wins from   Dylan Groonovan. So this is like a massive massive 
massive massive for uh Jolula. I think yesterday morning I said only eight teams have won stages 
at the Tour to France. Let me think about that.   Who won yesterday? Lead Alrech did. They’re 
one of the teams that’s already won stages. So it was still eight. We could see a ninth team 
today. I think we’re going to see it. Uh again, James Anderson, dude, I don’t know where you’re 
from. Uh thank you so much for the support here. Oh, we got the flares out. Robert St. Flares. 
I hope the Jean Darmms wrestles guys. Yeah,   the Flares can seem to be a bit too much. Lipoitz 
riding there. Yeah. So, Lipoitz is out the back of the Ooh, it’s been whittleled down more, guys. 
Uh, Adam Yates, Roick only, Vingo, and Tatty. So, uh, we’ve lost another rider out there. It was 
six before. It’s not showing up yet. Ribero Reyes still surviving here. Getting to our map, 
folks. Getting to the map. So, Ben’s out front by himself and then we got a stream of four groups of 
riders here. Uh Kevin Vocalon here. He’s trying to get back on. He doesn’t want to lose his position 
today. I think he’s doing a good job here. He’s uh settled into it, pacing himself, not going crazy 
and attacking, trying to get back on. Just slowly working his way back up. In fact, I want to see 
that, guys. I do want to see that. I want to see Valon. I think he’s very close to Lipoitz right 
now. Uh Kevin Valon here. Let’s see. He is very close to Lipoitz, guys. You got to see this 
again. Bike Terra, you rock. Uh here we go, folks. So, I’m over on bike terror now. This is 
Kevin Vocalon chasing Lipoitz just up the road here. We’re going to bounce to Lipoitz. He’s 52 
meters ahead. Florian Lipoitz here just around the bend. There’s another group of riders right there. 
So, that’s our yellow jersey group right there.   Uh, it’s only 50 meters to them. Let’s jump to 
the yellow of the yellow jersey group. Here’s Ted Pagacha. Uh, five riders in this group there. It 
says here they’re just catching Rubeo Reyes. Now, now what I’m going to do, I’m going to keep you 
guys there as I go confirm that over here. I’m at the race. It says Rubo Reyes is 34 seconds 
ahead. So, it looks like the date has fixed itself up. 1.2 km to go for Ben Oconor here at 
the front. JCO Alula. This is like winning the tour for them. This is as big as winning 
the turn for tour for uh Jac Alula here. Keep the coffee on the hot thing, Colin. Keep the 
coffee on the hot thing. So, Leapitz is further back there. Uh let me get back here, guys. It’s 
going to do a refresh. So, around the corner, they’re saying Roberto Reyes is there. That looks 
like it’s less than 30 seconds, but at this climb, uh, we are on a 9 to 10% gradient, so maybe it is. 
We can see Leapowitz in the distance. I’m going   to bounce back to him. Here he is. He’s watching 
those guys just go, you can look at the top of the screen there. You can see them now. Oh, yeah. I 
think what uh so I think it was Drew saying, those are all the ski uh ski slopes here. It’s just ski 
stuff everywhere here, guys. I was looking at some of the Airbnbs here. I’m like, are you sure this 
is a like a hotel room? It looks like just like a closet that they’ve thrown like a bathroom into. 
Like they’re tiny. Uh they weren’t expensive. Take a look at We’ve got all four groups here on the 
screen at once, guys. You can see Rebees just   off in the distance. There’s the yellow jersey 
group. Here’s Florian Lipowitz. Here’s Kevin Bakalon. Really good to see this. I’ll zoom out 
a bit. You can actually see the four dots. Ruby is just disappearing into the distance there. And 
guys, this totally corresponds to this map down here. All the curves in the road are what you’re 
going to see here. You can actually ride this. Uh, jumping out of that, guys. We’re back in the 
mainstream here. Back in the mainstream. I will jump back to the map mode here so we can see it. 
Guys, Ben Oconor, what a champ today. Worked hard. Going in for the win right now. Yonas is on the 
front right now with Pogy. Uh, and Oscar only is with him. So, it looks like there might be only 
three in the yellow jersey group. They’re just catching Rubio Reyes now. I think the the There 
they are. Second and third are almost merging together. Here we go. Oscar only. Future superstar 
GC contender very soon. Uh for Picnic Post NL Yonas pushing to the front. Tatty just sitting 
there comfortably on his wheel. The Visma strategy has not worked today, guys. It’s not worked. Oscar 
only out of the saddle at the back. Yeah, there’s flares everywhere. I see what you’re talking 
about. Uh again, James Anderson, I’m looking at   your stuff here. Thank you so much. That’s another 
good one. The banana hammock. I just caught that. I just caught the banana hammock. Guys, there’s 
so much chat here. Uh yeah, Lipo is long gone. Oh, Sly Drexler are saying Bjorn Reese did a 
number two in the ditch. I I missed that one. I I was thinking Tommy Dumalan. Uh trying to catch up, 
guys. Joey Jojo was here. She uh up a little bit late today, I think. Joey Jojo, I think he stayed 
up too late last night. Man, it is so steep up   here, guys. I’m just Ben is fighting his way up. 
It’s still 11% gradients going into the final 100 meters. It looks like it’s a fall day. Or maybe 
this is a summer day in the UK. Yeah, this is a   summer day in the UK on TV I’m seeing right now. 
Or Victoria uh all winter long. Slovenian flags flying. So Ben Oconor is going to get the 
win there, guys. Ben Oconor takes the stage win. You’re going to see that pop up right away. 
Hasn’t even shown up yet. Ben Oconor gets double   points for that, guys. Double points. That’s 40 
points towards Ben Oconor. Group two coming in next. It’s Pogy, it’s Vingo, and it’s Oscar only 
here. Wow. Super steep finish, guys. This is a brutal climb. Bash, if you’re still watching, 
dude. Yeah. Uh, congrats for doing this in the past. I think he said it took him two hours and 
15 minutes on inside on Ruby. Uh, yeah, similar, but you don’t got the wind, you don’t got the 
rain, you don’t got the uh the flares going off   in your face. Let’s take a look at the map. I can 
see my live stream is from flow is kind of choked up there. Who would be number two here? They’re 
saying it’s in Rubberius. Is he actually away? I don’t know if these dots have refreshed in a 
while. Just going to try to figure this out, guys. So, they’re still coming. Now, let’s just see 
how far they are from the finish. Uh, I need to get back here. Yeah, I guess they are two minutes 
behind. So, they got a little bit of work to do here, guys. Two minutes behind. Pogy. Oscar only. 
Ooh, Pogy pushing hard at the front right now. Just spat out Oscar only out the back in this 11% 
segment. We must be into the final kilometer for them now. Uh, they’re Yonas has just been shed. 
We’re less than that, guys. What I’m seeing here,   we’re only like 3 400 meters to the finish. It’s 
13% through here. Pogy states his dominance. Uh, has just put a 30 40 meter gap. Pogy just gets 
paster Reyes. Probably the last couple hundred meters here. Soer did not get second. Looks 
like he’s going to get third. I think Yonas is going to pass him too. Hopefully that guy 
can hang on for third place. I hope he does.   Pogy fully in the barriers now. So, like I said 
earlier, two big stages. Check for Pogy already. He’s got one more to go and he will take uh 
the yellow jersey of this year’s tour of to France and hold it and be the winner as long 
as he survives the last couple days. I think Yonas has just passed uh Rubier’s Ruby as 
well. Scot signs out everywhere guys. 11% gradient all the way to finish. World’s best 
cyclist is riding at 14k an hour through this.   So 8 miles an hour. That’s how steep it is. 
Unbelievable. here. Uh, so many people here. Yeah, Leap Woods got dropped. Joey Jojo’s here. Okay, 3D wearables always got great 
info on cycling and performance. Okay,   so Oscar only got fourth place there. Rubo 
Rea Reyes comes in fifth. And oh, I’m seeing Felix Gaul coming next, guys. Looks like Felix 
Gaul has been hidden here in the live tracking. Is this the same as yesterday? So they’re saying 
Lipoitz is here. I’m seeing I’m seeing Felix Gaul here finishing ahead of Lipoitz. Uh yeah, 
Felix Gaul has crossed the finish line. It says Leapoitz is still out there on the tracker. 
So obviously same as Devon 2day or Yeah, I think it was Devon 2day. Felix Gaul just disappeared. 
I think his tracker is acting up. Oh, so this Oh, sorry. This is Primos coming in. Wow. Is Primos 
ahead of him. Okay, there’s Florian. Here’s Oh, Kevin Bolon, guys. We’re going to take a look 
at the standings back here in a second. Let’s uh jump back here to the standings right now. 
Okay, so here we go, guys. 5 hours 3 minutes and 47 seconds. Ben O Connor, Jake. That is like for 
these guys at the tour. That’s like winning the tour to France. So great job here Kevin Balon. Oh 
that’s Tobias Johansson crossing. Sepkus is coming up next. Uh Tatty comes in a minute 45 down. So 
great job by Ben O Connor. Uh and Yonas loses a further 9 seconds to Pagachar. Oscar only came in 
next. So this is the general ranking here guys. So now Yonas is a further 9 seconds back. He started 
a 415 down. Rubio did get uh fifth place. Huge win by Ben Oconor here, folks. Uh yeah, Drew Senior 
Lemon had brown legs one day from diarrhea. Yeah, I heard that was horrible. Vicks action. Where’s 
Pogy standing? Uh Pogy just got second overall on the stage and he’s now still number one on the 
GC. Drew, I heard that during that stage, uh, 85, 86, his team had to surround him to try to protect 
them from the cameras. John Chady, uh, nice job, James, cheering on James, uh, contributions 
to the channel. Thank you so much, dude. Slide Drexler. Yeah, it’s a good comment, dude. 
Uh, we got Los Ratitos here from Victoria, BC. Where’s Michael Woods? Great stuff, dude. 
Uh, Michael Woods is somewhere further back   down right now, dude. It’s going to take me 
a while to catch up here. I’m just going to catch up with the catch. I guess we 
had 1500 people here at some point,   guys. Unbelievable. Like, why didn’t I 
do this last year? I don’t think I had Starlink last year. Uh, so that really helps 
me out. Yonas came in third place today. Uh, Yonas was on Pogy’s. Yeah, Jonas was 
sitting on the wheel. Pogy put on a huge   attack. It shed Oscar only immediately. Yonas hung 
in there for a few seconds and then he was gone. So, let’s see what happens tomorrow. Someone 
earlier today did say they don’t think this is   the hardest stage. They think it’s tomorrow. 
Ben O’ Conor like huge smile on his face, fist pumping. Yeah, it looks like it’s winter time 
up here. Uh people all wearing woolen hats. I do notice they put like a little towel thing around 
their around their shoulders probably to keep their necks warm. I know when I’m done working out 
uh 20 minutes later I’m like freezing to death.   So, and that doesn’t even compare to what these 
guys just did. Perfect here. Drews got it. Ben, amazing. Uh, Vicks action. Pogy number one. Epic 
breakaway win by Ben Ocon. Yeah, guys. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought Pogy and uh Yonas would 
be so heated that they would pull it all back. Oh, Trump Gustav saying your Pogy is the best. Yeah, 
he is the best right now around the world. I think he’s talking about how far we were from the the 
distance there. Yeah, Rubio, this is Michael Sron. He did get caught. Banana hammock in the Cayman’s. 
I like that, dude. Like I said, we got sometimes   it’s a pickle dish here in Canada. Uh, just trying 
to get all caught up, guys. Wow. Dawn saying, “Ben looks like Kramer’s love child. Congrats.” I 
love that temperature at the top, dude. Oh, see if I can get back to the Let’s see if I can see the 
race here. Uh, why are they not showing it now? Okay, so all the dots have disappeared. The race 
is not over, guys. There’s still guys out there   riding and there will be for quite a while. 
Huh. They’ve just taken all the dots away for some reason. I don’t know why they’ve done that. 
Guys, the cut off time is 41 minutes. I think some   riders are in danger of not making it would be my 
guess. Uh guys, I’m going to do this. I’m going to try to fire this up again live and see if uh 
yeah, it’s like we’ve lost transponder. There’s still 149 riders out there. 8 minutes since 
the finish. Time to cut off is 40 minutes. So, they’ve still got 40 minutes on top of that 
eight. They’ve got 40 minutes to go. I think   they are like 30 minutes behind. So, they should 
be safe unless they blow up in the final. Uh, okay. Lipo was finished with the gap of 337. Guys, 
let’s look at the GC here. General ranking. Uh, I want to take a look at this here. Should I do 
it here? General ranking. I want to see more of the standings. Okay. So, let’s go to the yellow 
jersey. General ranking after stage 18. Viv to Korchal K called Deot. Individual Tatty. Yeah, 
this is this is right. It’s 426 back to Yonas. He lost 11 9 seconds. Lipoitz is in third. 11 
minutes back. Oscar only here is only 22 seconds behind Lipowitz. Wow, that’s a good battle. That’s 
why Lipoitz was trying to get out so hard today. Looking at uh Pogy here at the finish. Looks super 
chill. He’s already cooling down on his trainer. Insane how much bike riding they do. I think some 
cyclists are riding down off the mountain already.   I just saw a guy going down with a big bright 
yellow uh rain jacket on on a bike riding the opposite way. Simon Yates’s coming to the finish 
now. So yeah, they might have to ride down off   here. I doubt the tour buses are up here. So, they 
got to ride back down the hill and hopefully not crash there. Uh, so yeah, there’s only a 22 second 
gap for Oscar only to try to get on the podium, guys. That’s going to be a war between Oscar only 
and Lipoitz. I think that’s why Lipoitz was trying to get away. Uh, cuz he knows Oscar only is just 
lurking there. Uh, we’ve got Primos Rajik at 1249. He’s about a minute and 20 behind Oscar only. 
Felix Gaul is in sixth place. There was the flip-flop, guys. So, Felix Gaul just took Kevin 
Vocalon’s sixth place away. So, they flipped sixth and seventh place. Wow. Amazing here, guys. Take a 
look at this for Jacob Alula. Holy. Okay, so first off, Tobias Johansson for UnoX. Been in eighth 
place the whole way. Absolutely dominating it. But take a look at ninth place. And guys, this is the 
GC standings. This is not the stage ranking. Ben O’ Connor flies up is now in ninth place overall 
to Tour to France. Uh just flew up the GC there. Awesome stuff, guys. I’m going to hang out here in 
the chat for a little bit with you if anyone wants   to talk cycling. Uh wow, that’s amazing to me. 
I don’t know why I can’t see the other ones. 38 minutes of time cut off. Uh Ben here. Yeah, I can 
see. Yeah, he’s the Kramer love child. He has got that crazy hair going on. Um, Alma here. Alma’s 
been around for a while. Great stage. Thanks. Okconor moves into the top 10. Yeah, Jacob, he 
does. That’s amazing to me. Michael Sum 10° C this summer. Yeah. So, it’s not cold, guys, but when 
you’re sweaty and wet, uh, it probably freezes   into those guys. I can see right now, looks like 
Ben O’ Conor has slipped into a fresh jersey. Uh, full arm length jersey. I’ll wear mine tomorrow, 
maybe. I got a full arm length one, too. Uh, Lanny Carrero here. This is my first visit channel. 
Nicely done with your commentary of today’s   staging, dude. Lanny, thanks for being here. It’s 
got the American flag up. Thumbs up to you too, dude. Uh, guys, still 800 people here. Like, 
absolutely insane for me today. I think you made Joey’s day, too, cuz she always asked me where’d 
it go. I’m like, I think it went pretty good. Uh, slides going, wondering what excuse will Yonas 
fanboys think of today. There’s no excuse, dude. uh their strategy. Vizma is not strong enough 
this year, I don’t think. On paper, they look super strong, but Vout in the past, he would 
have been here at the end. Uh Matteo obviously is tired. Uh Simon Yates as he was incredible at 
Jirro. Uh has had some great days this year. Not the Simon Yates from a couple years back anyways. 
He’s not as strong as he was before. 10th row, Connor. Okay. So, let’s just go back to the GC 
again. I missed that. It should be. Uh, let’s have a look. Uh, okay. So, yeah, it’s going to start 
changing here depending on how riders finish. So, we’re going to see maybe Okconor go down because 
these are just the riders that have finished. So, it all depends who comes up next and the times 
are going to change. So, Ben O’Haley, sorry, Ben O’Haley, I just made that up on the fly. 
Ben Healey uh is in ninth place. Ben O’ Conor uh 2919 in 10th place. So I think Okconor 
might be safe for 10th place depending what else happens here today. John, love it. Nice job, 
Colin. I should really work now. I’d love to hear some of the stats from the stream over on Discord. 
Yeah, John, I’ll be jumping in there later today   after this. It’s a quick uh go outside and figure 
out my life and then um always getting ready for tomorrow. Still trying to catch up on uh tour 
to France fem stuff. A Swift that’s coming up next week, guys. Southwested made it up to the 
the maline died lol. Dude, I love it. I love it. Uh the double bends are back. Marcela calling 
you are super nice and the live streams have been great. See you all tomorrow. Marcela, thank you 
so much. Ben O Connor going up to the top here. Fist pumping as he finishes. Yeah, so awesome 
for Jake Olio. I hope he stays in the top 10. June’s popping on. June, I know it’s late at 
night for you. Thanks for being here. See you   tomorrow. Uh June, your Jonas is done. Not my 
Jonas. Uh Pogy will increase his lead. Yeah, definitely. Um he’s got one more day he’s got 
to hold on. Cole, dude, you are such a superstar supporter of the channel. Thank you so much. Uh, 
I don’t think Jo even knows that. Thanks so much, dude. Um, you’re the number one fan today. 
See you all tomorrow. Don Meer, great job with commentary from Dryen, Ontario, dude. Don Meer 
from Dryden, Ontario. Good to have you here, dude.   Just getting ready to pop out here right away, 
guys. And Cels, the game of American football. Uh, yeah, and I know, too. That’s what I like. I 
like the scenery. It’s flowing. Cycling is very hard to understand at first, but once you start 
understanding all of those stories that are going on in the background, uh, I don’t know why all of 
the trackers are gone, guys. I can’t see anything that’s going on out there. Riders just trickling 
in. It’s like all the trackers got turned off. I don’t know. Something weird’s going on there with 
the tour today. Um, so yeah, Cole Kane, thank   you so much. And Ann, you’re 100% right. It’s the 
scenery, it’s the culture, it’s the mountains. Uh, you learn the story as it goes. You need to kind 
of watch one tour of to France and go, “Oh, yeah,   I get it. I get it now.” Uh, Brenda, is it Brenda? 
Looks like Brendo here. Brendo Gascon. I’m going to say that. Says, “Thanks, calling, dude. Thank 
you. Thanks so much. If I call you a dude and   you’re not a dude, you’re still a dude.” Uh, we’re 
sticking with that. Uh, Ian Banebridge here. Thank you, Colin. Really enjoyed it from White Rock, 
British Columbia. Dude, I know exactly where you   are. Guys, I’ve had so much fun today. Uh, it’s 
Thursday. This is the best day of the week for me. This is absolutely the best best day of the 
week for me right now. This is the best channel   stream I’ve ever had. Uh, fit Rudy. I like seeing 
a different winner every year, just like in all sports. Rudy, I could agree with that. I’d like 
to see more different riders come up. I wish there was like five or six that any given year they 
could win. always seems to be like one dominant cyclist at a time. Uh, but I totally understand 
what you’re saying. Bike terra, thanks for the   shout outs, Colin. Great stream as usual. Thank 
you, Bike Terra. Uh, everyone, show Bike Terra some love. Go check out the application. Uh, free 
to use. You can subscribe to uh I’m one of those guys, too. Once I use it for a little bit, then 
I start subscribing to it and I stick with it.   Uh I’ve already got two subscriptions right now to 
other platforms, but Better Terra is doing stuff that other uh platforms can’t. They can’t show you 
that live coverage. They can’t let you bite Terra can. You can generate your own routes. So wherever 
you live in the world, could be Hong Kong,   could be Thailand, the Philippines, you put the 
GPX file in from your phone using Strava and you create the route and you can do it yourself. You 
can challenge your friends to do it. Uh Henrik Sornson since Pogy’s wrist injury his improves 
7% which is not normal. He is super normal dude. He’s the Slovenian alien. Palm Mar is coming up 
here guys showing all the stage wins. So yeah, now we’ve had nine teams win a stage at the Tour 
to France. Uh what does that leave us? I can’t even do math. I think that still leaves us 13 
teams that have not won anything. Uh, tomorrow stage is going to be good. Someone said earlier 
they think it’ll be harder just because the guys   are going to be so fatigued from today. Remember 
too, their day is not over now. There’s no buses up here waiting for them. They got to get down off 
the mountain. Probably find a bus further down, jump on the bus, take the transfer over to the 
next town, get to the hotel, massage, recover. Matteo Jorgensson just finishing now. Wow. 
Absolutely implosion by Jorgensson here. Uh he was with the main group. He’s going to finish 17 
minutes down today. Uh we got Rob Stone here. Rob, great to have you on board. I think that might be 
the first comment from Rob. Dude, thanks so much   for being here. Guys, I’m going to keep doing this 
as long as Well, guys, I just do things my way. Um I was going to say as long as people keep showing 
up and do I’m going to keep doing this no matter   what. I’ve been doing this for the last it’s 
coming up on three years in January. I know that’s a few months away, but I’ve ground out a lot of 
videos. Uh, and like I said, I got a call. I got a message from some dude. I’m going to call on the 
DS of a team of a continental team that’s racing in Europe right now asking me if I’m going to do 
commentary for them for all their inside cycling this year. I did it last year and I guess they 
liked it. They’re like, “We want you on board this   year again. Let’s talk. What can we do?” Uh, super 
stoked about that. I think I told Joey and all you guys get to know, too. So, they’re basically 
the inside cycling stuff. Fred Vice here. Thanks, Colin. Awesome job today. And in reference to 
talking fast, no problem. I liked it. You keep it exciting. And perhaps you might have a future as a 
DJ aka Robin Williams. Good morning Vietnam. Dude, I just like chatting. Uh, when I did my other 
videos too, guys are like, “You people would say,   “You’re really good at this.” And I’m like, 
“I’m It’s just me. This is what I do. I know just enough about cycling to keep it fun. I 
like to have fun. I talk to anyone I meet. I’m always one of those dudes that I can strike up 
a conversation with anyone. We go on vacation, I’m the one that’s out meeting people, just random 
people from around the world.” Uh, Phil Como, uh, I think this he’s in his banana hammock right now. 
Thanks Colin from Cayman Islands. I get to watch live on TNT. You’re at work, but I will listen to 
you tomorrow as well to add to your views. Thanks   again for keeping me sane. Love you, buddy. Dude, 
you too, man. Phil Como, shout outs to Phil in the Caymans, guys. With that, I think I’m going to 
shut her down. Let these uh vocal cords get rested a bit again. Stream looked pretty good today. I 
think uh I don’t look too creepy here on camera. Uh guys, I cannot thank you enough for pushing my 
channel upwards. Last sip of coffee from Colin, guys. Bright and early tomorrow. I don’t think 
it’s as early as today. One more big mountain   assault. Uh we’re going up to La Plania tomorrow. 
Uh and there’s a bunch of climbs before. There is an HC before it’s two HC’s tomorrow, I think. 
One CAT tattoo. two cat twos and one cat one, I believe. Uh, that’s all my research after 
this, so it’s like around the clock. Love it. Uh, now I just got to get recognized by the 
big powers that be and get me to the top,   folks. Anyways, guys, thanks again. I’m 
jumping out. You’ve heard enough of me.
