Yeah, there’s a lot of fast riders left at the front at the moment of well, what is still the whole bunch is an awful lot more sorting out yet to do here, particularly if they are to use the steep slopes to get any kind of separation for the more climby types. Yeah, exactly. There’s, like you say, it’s a big big pack and it’s a real mixture of riders here. And this is where the sprinters really just show just how good they can be cuz they can just hold on on these on these punchy climbs and they can they’ll just fight to survive. And I see Alberto Betto for XTS Astana also in in good position. There’s a one of the the guys that can be quite quick in a finish like this. But we see in the back of the Pelaton already quite some guys getting dropped a few with mechanical problems there. One on the right hand side of the road. Yeah, just seen Chris Broom drifting backwards as well. Uh plenty of work done during the day in amongst all of this. But let’s keep an eye on who else is there. Paul Lera, the former French road race champion is up alongside Dorian Gdon. There you go. the two Decathlon riders sitting on the wheel of uh Matias Vatk Vatk an obvious wheel to be following in these situations if he’s still there because he’ll be one of the fastest climbing riders at the front that can survive a climb like this cope very well with the steep stuff too. Um leading Red Bull Bora hand rider at the moment looks to be Tim Van Djk but I’m looking for Maxim Van Hills as well. He’s very good at hiding. Pale Bill Bao is sitting back there and moving up too for Bahrain Victorious. There he is at the bottom of our shot. Rafa Micah also looking really comfortable. The Polish road race champion inside the final 1800. Sorry. Go on. No, no, you see at the moment kind of not really any team fully together. It’s just kind of ones and twos from those team. You see Hikoski there also moving up Magnus Sheffield. I saw Betol and Shelling from XDSA sitting really well together. But there’s a real mix of riders in there just all fighting for those wheels. And like I say, some guys have been caught out of position and they’re also having to make those big efforts to bring themselves back into the front of the race. That was the Belgian Stander Wolf doing a big turn for Dath on Ael. This is now Enzo Paleni of Karma FDG the French team. Who’s he working for back there? Don’t see a sign of any other group riders back there. That’s a strange one to find himself on the front. He’s got Brandon McNei just behind him and Matt Vatet looking cool as you like in third as well. Now they come on to the the harder part of the climb. They’re still not on the steepest part yet. Actually, the gradient at the moment just kind of pushing upwards of uh 7% in the final part of the climb. They’re going to be hitting 9 10% for small moments in this real final part of the climb. You have Quatosski moving up looking roundos rider on the outside and he has Magnus Sheffield on his wheel. So despite the fact there’s a lot of fast man still in play, riders with general classification aspirations here being brought into good position. And this is Magnus Sheffield being brought up by Quatosski. Philip Posanna moving up in the purple of Jacob Alula as well. One of the Arca BMBB riders taking the criterium style dive bomb up the inside as well. So many riders still in play and we’re inside the final kilometer. We need to keep our eyes peeled for the likes of someone like Matty Brennan. The fact that Maxim Dan Hills is moving up as well. We’re looking for the fast legs in here that are still hanging on at this stage. It is Mihal Katosski, the former world champion, the Polish rider. I’ll remind you here in the 82nd edition of the Tour of Poland on stage two as we run towards the finish in Katch. We’re looking at shots which are coming up our finishing climb. This is where it steepens. Rafael Mah, the Polish champion moving up as well. So, two of the biggest and best known of the Polish riders of all time, it has to be said, right at the front of this pelaton. This is fascinating. A really big effort from Mikoski here just to keep Sheffield in position. It’s the group thinning out all the time now as they come into the final 700 m. Yeah, Yan Christristen looking good there. He’s just moved ahead of his teammate of course Brandon Multi well inside the final K as you can see from the sign. 500 meters to go as you say. Yan Christristen’s moved up there in the middle just in front of Matias Vat. Maxim Van Hills has also moved up. Look out also for Quinton Herman’s. Quinton Hermans looking very good. The Belgian for Alpine Kernik in the gray. He’s there. Pale Bill V goes for the drops. He’s ready as well. Nihal Quakoski doing long eternity camp for Magna Sheffield before Sheffield goes as well. But there are what three more of the UAT Emirates riders with Yan Christristen locked in just behind them as well. First of those is Raphael Micah. Pakoski does the last of his turn now. Magnus Sheffield goes. There’s not much of a snap, but he’s not got too much of an answer either to to Yan Christristen. Yan Christristen goes now. Kristen looking over his shoulder to see who’s come with him. Looks like he’s got Maxim Van Hills on his wheel if I’m not mistaken. That’s sex following. Can Van Hills kick off this? He normally can, but I’m not sure because Yan Christristen’s looking really good as well. Yan Christristen on the left. Actually, it isn’t Van Hills. I think we’ve actually got um Finn Fisher Black up alongside him. It is Finn Fisher Black on the other side of the road. He looks across. It’s going to be a juke out between Yan Christristen. Finnfisher Black. Finnfisher Black so good normally in a sprint finish like this, but he’s getting wiped out as well. It’s the Cathon Aziz with one rider coming over the top of them. Just looking to see who that is. It might be Paul Laera actually in a sprint finish like this. He’s going to get it though. Um is it? I’m not entirely sure who we’ve got going. Clear a bit here, but he’s taken the win. That is unbelievable. Looks like Paul La, but I’m not entirely sure. Out of nowhere as well. Finn Fisher Black looking really good for the win there at the finish, but uh that’s a surprise. There’s a team we hadn’t been mentioning at all, Matt. Yes, it was a interesting sprint finish that you saw. Okay, the stage hadn’t been that hard the whole way through, but as soon as they started to open up the tank there in that final, you just saw legs were just starting to fall off all the time. People were making the move and then uh and then just dropping away. So, uh yeah, a really interesting finish, but it what is clear is Kathon Asha with a really nice victory there and also made it look pretty easy as he came up towards the finishing line.
