Yeah. So, this this climb has been the kind of perfect launch pad for him. You can just see there’s just little changes in um steepness and um each time he gets out the saddle, he he can keep his speed going while the other guys are just struggling that little bit to keep maintain the wheel open say 10 second gap to Junior the surf and chip there. He’s certainly uh piling on the pressure at the moment cuz he knows that this is the race win. Jungle are trying to do what he what he can to keep the race under control. He’s obviously went a little bit too deep. So, um caught him. And now you try to distance him. So he he will kind of stay in he he’s got the chance of moving up to second position if he can distance the surf. Res the surf is really in trouble now. You full grim there’s done a really good job so far. You know that done the perfect lead out from the team and um yeah now he’s on his own. He’s going to just keep this pressure on all the way to the top. It’ll be interesting to see if that that second group can come, the chase group that was behind the leaders can come back. 2K to go. Just one more kilometer of the kind of steep 8% and then it eases off and Kar Bruce is looking really really good for the win stage win and the overall win. Okay. About 15 seconds at the moment. Okay. Out is doing a really good job here. It’s okay. Just do know what most climbers do that out the saddle when there’s this little increases in gradient just to keep your speed up, keep the pressure on the gap. So that’s virtual surf falls back to 9 seconds and back to 13. So that means that the gap is roughly 18 seconds to Junior Ler. Just looking at the pedaling styles here. Fanchella number 53. It’s definitely more comfortable than general the surf. The surf probably went he went into the red and never he’s not going to recover all the way to the finish now. So he’s going to have to be careful that he doesn’t lose second position on GC as well. Sorry for the interrupt. [Applause] a few technical problems. So last little bit of steep steepness from um Jan Brooks well, you know, out the side of trying to keep the speed up. He knows that stage is probably going to be his. He just doesn’t want to allow those two guys to get any closer because then they’re within one kind of big brutal acceleration to try and close the gap. Well, I’m hoping I can stay connected through to the finish this time. Fanchel and Lurf. They see Kot Brooks riding away into the distance and pulling the yellow jersey off the shoulders of the man from Sudal Quickstep. Kot Brooks came in as favorite. Found a a climb that wasn’t quite to his liking on stage two. Did all the work on the way up with then was jumped within side of the line by Lurf and Felu. But today 6 km average 7.7% the steeper gradients pure climbing. Kean Obrooks really finds himself in his element and he’s found his rhythm now. He’s ridden them out of the wheel and he knows just just looking at there he’s straight back onto the big ring one as someone eases off. So he’s not at all burnt out. So he’s saying you know really good ride into the last kilometer. certainly looks like he’s going to pile on the pressure here. Trying to win the check tour. Just look at the size of that gear he’s pulling. So, he’s he’s obviously got a lot of resources still left and um yeah, definitely going to win the stage. Is he going to hold enough gap back to Junior Deser Fantello? We’ll have to wait and see. Well, no signs of cracking from Keano to Brooks. He’s not only holding the rhythm, he’s upping the rhythm. And the other two looking to get caught by a chasing group. So Junior Lurf trying to defend that jersey. Got Fello in the wheel. But there’s a large group coming back onto these two. And it’s Kean Oduks who’s doing maximum damage on this final climb. The thing is back here they both have no teammates. So they’re um you know they’re going to come into this group and the these guys know they’re all fighting for second third position. Well, you got Jano Brooks out the front already well on his way to winning the stage and winning the overall. So he he’s not going to go slow down at all into the last 500 m. Still on the big range. So that that shows you how fast he’s going. Junior Lisser back on the front. 500 meters to go. He’s got to try and close that gap to Keano to Brooks and then and hope it kind of stays inside the 9 seconds, but his problem is Kean Brooks is going to take the 10second bonus for winning the stage as well. So we he needs to get inside that that 13 15 seconds or so into the last 300 m to Brooks now 200 m to go. He’s gotten away from the rest. He’s opened up the gap. He needs 9 seconds on Junior Lurf who’s leading the rest in. The gap is closing. Lassurf resurgent. He can see the race win just up the road and Kean Obrooks now going with everything he’s got. Lasserf being passed. There’ll be no bonuses for Lurf. This will be the difference. Obrooks will take the stage win. He’ll take the 10-second bonus. Kean Obrooks at the top of the climb is being caught. He’s being passed. Obvious will not win. Junior Lurf has done enough. He will win the Czech tour. It was unusable and Kean Brooks has been caught within sight of the line the last 150 m proving to be too much. And it’s the rider from the VA team who gets up and gets the stage victory. What drama on the final couple of hundred meters of this race and it looks like it’s Giannis Pet who gets the stage victory for Voralberg and Otterbrooks. He’d done everything he had to do. He had an unassalable lead. How did he I cannot believe that he’s fell apart. Yeah, he looks so strong. You think now he’s into the last into the last kill. He’s got almost 20 seconds on the on the race leader and he’s falling apart on that on that last section, that last two 300 m at the most. He’s just died to death. Well, that is quite unbelievable. You know, the the first time they went over the climb, they didn’t come through this point. They went over the climb and down the descent. Where the cars are going through in the background is where they went when the race went through the first time. I wonder if Kot Brooks sort of expected to get the finish line there. Yeah. And he’s turned off and suddenly just completely crumbled and he’s turned put himself in the red to what he thought was the top of the climb and then had another couple hundred meters to go. Yeah. If if you look at here where the cars are going in in the background, it’s it’s at slightly lower levels. So, he’s turned on to the kind of Swedish part this last 200 m and stayed on the big rig and it’s too big and he’s just falling apart.

"Un-loseable" 😁
Great coverage, if you like MICHELIN Ads
LMAO at the announcers. Unprofessional.
"definitely going to win the stage"…indeed:) that'll teach the announcers to predict the outcome in the future. With hindsight, its easy to see that dug too deep and blew up hard. He had no other choice than to try and most of us probably would have done the same if we were in his situation.
Commentators curse.
xd
It takes a minute — to understand that seconds count.
lol cian
We need to put on some seatbelts if the commenting gets any more excited.
