That’s going to be a huge power for the pelaton here. And it’s going to be again stretched. Yeah, you got you got to be at the front of this this pelon going into the Porsche bag if you want to try and attack or go with any moves at the front. But it’s obviously always easier said than done getting to the front of the pelaton. So you were able to see him. Yeah. And the gap’s not very big. No. And the others are already caught by the Peloton. Yeah, it’s got 5 seconds left. 5 seconds gap here. Is alone. I don’t think 5 seconds is going to be enough for him. No, I don’t think so either. [Music] Having another Hopefully everything is good there. Another tight one. All right, you can see him just up the road there. I think it might get a bit tight for for Beloki, the Spanish rider. That was a good try. A very good try, but the Porsche bag is going to be the decider. And here we are. That was the start of the Porsche bag. The last huge task in that stage one for the riders of the 74th tour of Austria. And you can see here I’m Porsche. And now it is showtime. 7K to go and everything is going to be Yeah. Okay, looking towards UAE and Jacob little track. Or is there some surprise coming up? So, it looks like they’re riding tempo at the front. Quite a hard tempo. Yeah, as riders are getting dropped out the back of the pelin right now. It looks like we’re hitting the slopes of 19.9% the steepest of this climb, but it isn’t a long one. It’s 150 m long uh in vertical meters. Yeah, that’s 1.3k long. Just over 4 minutes. So, it be interesting to see what’s happening at the front of the group now. Yeah, that would be amazing to see it. 3 hours and 38 minutes in the race, 7k to go. And you can see it. Yeah. They’re maxing the tempo there. I 40 and we have little trek here. Oh, and we’ve got a Paul Valencia. A cramp it looks like for Patrick Conrad if I just saw that correctly. Former stage winner of the tour to France here. Cramping on home turf. Very bad place to cramp. Oh yeah, that’s for sure. 20% climb. Okay. What’s happening at the front? It looks like a rider is there. There’s one trying to get away there. And I guess it was a UAE jersey. I’m not quite sure yet there. Who is up there in front? Um, yeah. This is definitely the decisive climb, but unfortunately we are now we’re at the top of the K points. So, we’ll be able to see who comes over here first. Yeah, it is those category 2 mountain classification, the deciding one. And as you can see here, it is pretty narrow up there. Oh, it is. It’s very exciting. We have no idea who is at the front right now. Who is going to come around that bend first? Uh here having the motorbikes. I think they might have also been a bit scared if they sent a motorbike up in front of the race. Here we are. EF Education. Is it still It’s still Wow. Wow. But the gap Oh, there are two UAE UAE. Are they two UAE riders? Yeah, they’re uh Yeah, yeah, yeah. two UAE riders. I think it might have been Gotta, I guess. I think it was Rafael Mah as well. Oh, Rafael Mah. Yeah, Rafa Mah. I couldn’t tell which UAE rider it was, but the gap to Belki was not more than 5 seconds, but it is downhill now to the finish. No, it was not Blocki. It was not Belloi. It was Archie Rin. Oh, Archie Ryan from EF Education Easy Post had the used the momentum and did a breakaway here on the Porsche Burke. The last Yeah. the last it’s a 23 year old representing Ireland here also pretty young athlete but yeah to the Romani 11th in the youth classification so now it goes downhill for him for the next 3k we are in the last within the last 5k and then it is flat to the finish for the last you have to like really put the head in there. And here we have Felix Khartner. Yeah. Oh yeah. Felix Khartner and Rafael Mer. Rafael Mer. So that is great for Felix Khhatner. Now he’s got Rafael Mer in front of him to just dig as deep as possible and then Khatnik can and 7 seconds is just just a glimpse. That’s he they can see him and now Felix Groshhatner is now doing the leading work. TT specialist TT uh national champion 2025 couple weeks ago and threetime TT champion. Three time TT champion now. Three times in a row I think 23 24 and 25 and also with an outstanding performance there at the national championship was able to ride like a threeminute gap in 13k. Yeah. Yeah. Incredible. So, it’s going to be very interesting if Rharch is going to be able to hold off the two. Well, that that’s not powerouses from Yui. And then it looks like a further 10 seconds back is the rest of the group. I’m not quite sure who is in that group at the moment, but he is fighting pretty hard, but there they are. and Emmanuel Tangal was awarded the prize of the mo for the most competitive rider from team. So he starts with that and he will start tomorrow with the rat number. Okay. So the two UE riders have caught up with Ryan Archie. Now what are the team tactics going to be? Will they attack over the top with momentum? Oh, they or they attack him. But that’s uh now we’ve got the short technical part of this this stage for the two hairpin corners and Felix Ketta taking looking back to Rafael Michael and Ryan. Where’s Isak Del Toro? Yeah, that’s the that’s also the big question. And where is the to here on the first stage here? But maybe in that chase group. Ah, they’re also not far behind, are they? So, no, there’s not a They’re not allowed to play many games at the front. No cat mouth games at the front. 17 seconds. Maybe a bit more. 2K to go here for those three men. strong leading group with Ireland, with Poland, and happy for the Austrian with Felix Roartna in there. Yeah, Felix is trying to trying to get them working together, taking turns. There’s only 2K to go. So, and then now you can see Rafael Michael is signing him now. Let’s go. Come on. Let’s go. Here we have two JO and Lula, one of EF Education, then Astana. And now that’s it’s the moment where Felix go is attacking Rafael Michael and Ryan Archie trying pretty hard to get away here, but Archie is glued nearly on the back wheel coming to the Flam. It is the last K here on the first stage here. And it looks like it is going to be again a pretty intense fight here in the finish area. Philip Gardner is having a gap about there will be a 20 20 m 20 30 m and is looking back is looking back. This is looking brilliant for Oh, this is amazing. That’s Wow. That’s the win here on home turf on the first stage. 500 meters to go to the finish score. He should bring this home now. Oh, for sure he should bring this home going. Yeah. Yeah, cuz Rafa Mic is just going to sit on the wheel of Rachel. And he let them go. And here we are. Shardner is coming through. Amazing first stage here. Stage win for Phelix Gardner for UAE team Emirates XRG. Incredible racing from UAE Emirates there and from Phelis Gardner. And we can see Rapid and Micro in the background just overtaking Ryan Archie. And there you have your winner. Here we are. And here we are next coming up. You can see Isaac Tojo here in the chase group coming to another sprint finish. And again UAE on two, four, and five. So four UAE riders up there. Incredible ride from Felix Kartner on that Porsche bag. You can see 27 28 29 30 seconds already the gap to the chase group two here and with another UAE Rinkov at Var. You can see Jacula team for coup. So that was an amazing performance.
