and a half maybe well let’s see if it is two and a half it’ll be about on time if it’s three he’s out of the time bro yeah two minutes separating them jaw made it given absolutely everything as as we would um he would dearly love to win the stage you possibly know that’s that mark i just put a new mark there at that British flag never mind brake you’re trying your best and everyone no I think he’s I think he’s lost i think it’s near a three i do yes I think so too i’m afraid the man with the cowbell maybe you can take a time on him don’t think he’s moving anywhere uh I’m going like the clappers and so indeed is this man shiao Almeida is powering home here for the tour to Swiss title and to add to that he’s going to have two stage wins but he has had to fight for this entire race after a terrible tactical error on the opening stage where his team hadn’t quite woken up maybe the fact that they stripped out the time trial prologue which quite often has uh started proceedings and we went racing straight away a lot got caught out oscar only himself got caught out don’t forget as well he had to battle back and did an amazing job but Shiao Almeida [Music] not to be denied not for a second time almeida has been the master of his destiny once the wakeup call of stage one had been declared and from that moment on his team and he had to go all in at what cost well he’s got plenty of time to recover I guess ahead of the tour of France the show made that he’s stood up to the mark he’s taken two stage wins two second places as well he’s been absolutely brilliant it could be just an amazing three-stage wins talk about emphatic it doesn’t matter how you knock me down I’m coming back at you and that is amazing yet another enormous margin taken and Almeida has just won the tour of Switzerland surely there’s nothing that this man can do about it sure enough still to finish it’s going to be a while before he gets to do that but Kevin Vocalan the brave I think will have to seed the title to this man he went absolutely to depths that only professional cyclists and the very best of those as well can reach and it looks like he’s done it brian yeah the the time of 233 is gone now is getting near the 3 minutes mark and he hasn’t come to that point where the uh the the the team cars have so unfortunately for Vulan he’s fought ever so brightly the whole way but you know the candle’s just gone out see you can see the team cars just gone up there it’s now counting 313 so he’s lost 30 seconds now in the general classification and it looks as if he’s going to lose even more so I think by the time he he crosses that point where the team cars are he’s lost a minute there he is well just under a minute 54 seconds he’s lost in this time track needed to keep it under 33 but unless he’s got some sort of motorcycle in that bike he has lost the uh the tour to Swiss but his fight now is to stay in second place let’s see uh because even that I guess uh ultimately if there is any capitulation would indeed have a cost here’s Julian Phipe it’s been wonderful to see this this man backed approaching his best uh getting towards the autumn of his career but clearly some great displays still to be had there he is Mr cherry Blossom absolutely fantastic he brings that cherry red tuda helmet to the line and the blossoming of his career the reblossoming is absolutely confirmed here at the tour of Switzerland he’s looked to be in a happy place and when Alma Phillips’s happy the world of cycling is he’s a great showman and has been brilliant circulating still almeida and he will be realizing what he has achieved here victory in the tour of Switzerland surely no way back for Kevin Bland has been a great battler throughout though and with 400 meters to go rather cruy no rolling clock upon him just for now as the chair lifts show off the easy way down this mountain he’s had to come up it it’s been a trial for him Brian he passed most of the tests but just not this last one yeah just came a little bit short um just like Gregoire coming a little bit short here um you know you have to say what a valiant effort it has been um it’s not over yet he has to get to the finish within uh 2 minutes and 20 seconds to hold on to second place of course in reflection he’ll take that all day long but this could have been you know one of the the biggest days of his career so with 200 meters to go Jia made up well he’s got this one quite easily in the end vland is going to be in second place with the Scots oscar Only Brookl fourth from the day as it stands at the moment but more than that second overall he would have relished the victory it would have been the biggest result of his career shameu missed out last year so we’ll know exactly what this feels like how many times have we said that after the jural Ameda crosses the line minute and 40 goodness me down on Sha Almeida he had a cushion of 33 seconds goodness me he needed probably a hammock of 2 minutes if he was going to have a chance that’s a big gap in the end but I’ve got to say a beautiful victory for Almeida who suffered the same disappointment last year right here he’s made a noise for a terrible start and he has got there he said he get no internet the person is with him doesn’t know no reaction yet he knows winner of stage eight and winner of the tour to Swiss stley waits for official confirmation and of course we will give them that honor as well but Brian what a performance yeah no brilliant performance i know Josie T who’s with him now with from Galissi is brilliant um person to have as a staff member but what an exceptional performance today he knew he needed it but what a dominant display it’s been with Oki lost what was it 322 in the first stage you know I think everybody was saying game over well you know the game was him to play and he he definitely played with it he played with it in every stage and um to beat Voy by 144 that’s quite substantial congratulations I win I don’t know because they don’t okay here he knows Okay you want to if you show me I can go uh he doesn’t want to give any interviews until he sees it written down but uh I can tell you today he has taken it uh the margin that he had over Vulan in the end was well it turned into a country mile 33 seconds was what he had to make up and he made over a minute and 40 up in the end brian He did um normally the protocols are there that the stage winner cannot be interviewed until he interviewed officially after the after the stage charma takes the time trial here stage eight of the tour of Switzerland and he wins the tour of Switzerland itself by over a minute from Kevin Vocaline in second place and Oscar Onley onto the podium in third

Bota lume Joao 🇵🇹
Cool
Good thing Pogi is already basically the GOAT otherwise the TdF would be an intra-UAE knife fight lol
great win! had to fight for that one after the early cock-up, but that comeback was ruthless. UAE looking super strong in prep for the TDF.
It was not the best version of the Tour of Swiss since the best tested their legs at Dauphine.
We love João, congrats on the win chapeau 👏🏾

French riders and TT… So far from other ''big'' nations…. Good time for Kévin but why 're we strong on tt….? Joao is a top 5 gc rider !!?
