[Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you it’s appeared and look at the line of people waiting we are back it is back Marvel 2 place but that’s now decided to kick on he doesn’t want a passenger anymore this is a amazing strength he’s showing through the curve here great time to attack and he’s out of sight the stage is over but you can just see from from our shops that um you know he’s super pleased with the effort to date and it’s it’s been a monster effort he could imagine and uh how fabulous is it that we’ve been here to enjoy it with him so much bad luck has rained down on jumbo risma but there is light and this man has just ignited it how wonderful is that that has taken the big day [Music] thank you well fine arts could well end up leading out Mark Cavendish to take the big turn here oh well that’s still got his man Mike turnerson is there Mark cavanish has decided he’s going to follow up on that just for the time being time to pick it up and here we go spread wide across the line here’s well for that with uh Mark Cavendish on his back wheel everyone look at each other there’s elbows out here Mark kavlish hasn’t lit it up just yet he’s waiting for her for however to go for it he’s gonna follow him that’s the chosen wheel but cabbage is boxed in here it looks like it’s going to be others is it caliber through the situation oh it’s well further that makes the steal well fan art and it is an artist isn’t it magnificent uphill down dial against the clock against the best expenses in the world is there anything this man can’t do [Music] yeah well Bernard really having to dig deep to haul his frame up this uh this steep section of the climb still over a kilometer to go well but not all over his bike Mike Woods gripping his teeth to stay with the world champion on audio goes on the right hand side the runner from the clinic Quick Step remember and always there as well but he was matched and flanked straight away by wild for NATO and all they leaving leading things out now 200 meters to go who’s gonna open things up Allah Philippe goes on the right hand side turning a huge gear opens things up look at Well for now on his will but not on the wheel of the world champion but art now goes on the right hand side and the flip tries to close the gap and it looks like he’s going to host head to the neck and neck now hard to finish all looks like well but I’ve got that one at the last what if I know it takes the win Atop The Great Dawn you know well done well by now but look at him on the deck there that was a a huge effort [Music] huge attack absolutely brilliant while when art goes over the top of the bosberg it’s just a handful of seconds though that he has a big year ahead of him in The Monuments and the Cobble Classics to come in March and April but he’s got himself off to the best possible start her first race for the season for Wildman arts and a first Victory incredible [Applause] [Music] two rides from the same team that are riding away from everybody one kilometer to go for our leading juror of wild Bernard and Christoph Laporte it’s been a demonstration of power a demonstration of skill and speed from these two Riders what will be the answer from the other teams in the bigger races still to come back to the drawing board for them but for jumbo vizma things could have become any better Bernard said there was no discussion between them about who would take the win so he was lucky there was no surprise for him [Music] it’s all about now trying to make the move and yombo visma are even causing splits at the bottom here it’s just like bahinis on the opening day and they’ve called everybody off guard here and this is going to cause major problems of the sprinters now it’s definitely going to be uh splits as we come over the top so Bernard pushing on at the moment he’s making Yates do the chase to try and cross the Gap and fanat continues here they are ones twos it’s like watching the end of the classic race this but here is wild Bernard they turn into the final corner behind a Peloton but they are not going to catch him now no organization not enough Firepower not enough to catch the man who’s gonna win the stage what a day what a ride Antoinette is about to bring the wealth factor to the Tour de France three second places now a win wearing the yellow Jersey Deja Vu and a deadly demonstration from Watson as you can hear the bell ringing for that last lap [Applause] this is the moment really to go for it I think Bernard’s gonna pass him again if he can very close wrapping shoulders it’s going to be a rematch after Sprint that we saw in host Azure with the addition of the world champion let’s see who is going to start his Sprint first we have much of on the ball in Pole Position top pick in second and falz fanart lurking in the background and he’s launching his attack both for that is launching a Sprint and much of Thunderball is trying to counter that but I think it might be too late I think it might be too late for the man in blue and that it’s going to be another win for vouch for that sprinting all the way to the line a fantastic win his fourth in a row for valve for that but what a fantastic race and look at that the crowd is going wild [Music] did make it to the end but didn’t quite carry as much speed as van are and just that Gap little gap opening up and Fan Art such a strong Runner to see the speed that he’s carrying across the top there and he carries that into the remount this is a big attack from well then art here’s a man in form what a brilliant Christmas and New Year period he’s had well been art the Belgian Champion is going to be our champion here today at the cockside at Flemish June and cross what a performance bang bang and uppercut he knows the direction he is headed a psychological blow over his big rival Matthew Vanderpool so the pool launches his attack at the same time funar tries to follow him but gotcha turns up for business it’s chaos today pogachar here at the front taking it to those top two cobbled races on their very own Terrain positive so good to see fanart and mahoric started to lose their little climbs he’s on he’s on the head of the race with the Three Amigos back together to try to surprise them thought a pool coming through the center for the side it’s a big battle but it’s one for now who wins it one for not the first man to defend his title here in over a decade [Applause] it’s Belgian go bananas [Music]
