========================================================================
Stage 11 Toulouse to Toulouse 157 km with 1750m of climbing. Looking like a Sprinters finish this route still has enough climbing to keep everyone alert for breakaway attempts. 5 categorized climbs will be up for grabs towards the polka dot jersey. An intermediate sprint and an additional 50 points at the finish line will see a frantic sprint to the finish.
Thanks for watching and being part of the community! I really appreciate it.

STAGE 11 PREVIEW:

🚴‍♂️ TOUR DE FRANCE 2025 – STAGE 11 PREVIEW**
🗓️ Date**: Wednesday, July 16, 2025
📍 Route**: Toulouse → Toulouse (Loop Stage)
📏 Distance**: 156.8 km
⛰️ Elevation Gain**: ~1,700 m
🗺️ Profile**: Rolling/punchy stage with four categorized climbs
🏁 Stage Type**: Lumpy – suited to breakaways and puncheurs

🧗 Key Climbs:
Côte de Castelnau-d’Estrétefonds** – 1.4 km @ 6.6% (130 km to go)
Côte de Montgiscard** – 1.6 km @ 5.3% (45 km to go)
Côte de Corronsac** – 0.9 km @ 7.1% (40 km remaining)
Pech David** – 0.8 km @ 12.4% (8 km before the finish)

Tactical Talking Points:**
Final chance for sprinters** before the Pyrenees – but the climbs may drop heavier fast men.
Punchy finale** favors attackers like *Mathieu van der Poel*, *Wout van Aert*, *Magnus Cort*, or Axel Laurance*.
Breakaway potential is high** if teams let it go on the rollers.
GC riders** unlikely to attack, but leaders must stay vigilant near the finish.

🌡️ Conditions & Finish Notes:**
Forecast**: 30°C, light NW winds (~15 km/h)
Finale**: Urban finish with technical roundabouts and a sweeping left turn into a short uphill sprint.
Wind direction**: Headwind into the finish – may slow down late attackers.

🎯 Riders to Watch:**
Sprinters**:

Jonathan Milan* (Green jersey leader)
Tim Merlier* – explosive on lumpy finishes

Puncheurs & Breakaway Specialists**:

Mathieu van der Poel*
Wout van Aert*
Magnus Cort*
Oscar Onley*
Axel Laurance*
Romain Grégoire*

GC Leaders (monitor only)**:

Tadej Pogačar*, *Remco Evenepoel*, *Ben Healy*
No big GC shakeup expected, but crosswinds or crashes could affect the standings.

🔮 Prediction:**
A reduced sprint from a punchy group or a late solo from a breakaway.
Favourites**: Van der Poel, Van Aert, Cort, Laurance.

🚨 What’s Next?**
Stage 12 heads into the **high Pyrenees** – major GC implications to come.
Expect fireworks from the likes of *Pogačar*, *Evenepoel*, and *Vingegaard*.

All right folks. Hey riders. Hey cycling fans. Hey 
Tour to France lovers from all around the world. Colin here over at Insight Cycling World. We 
are live folks. Uh what is it today? Uh rest day yesterday for me. I was going to do a uh a bit of 
a recap. Well, more of a preview. So actually you know what I wanted to have yesterday? I wanted to 
have a little chitchat with everyone. Oo, people   are saying already that they’re look thinking it’s 
going to be a sprint finish today. Now, the reason I asked that question is because it looks like a 
sprint finish, but I know there’s a lot of teams   out there. There’s already riders commenting, oop, 
wrong site. Want to be here, guys. Uh, today we’re doing stage 11. It’s July 16th. Stage 11, Tour 
to France 2025, folks. Um, let’s go through the official classification. You know what I need 
to do first? I need to grab that other computer of mine, guys. It’s a pretty neutralized start 
today. I think it’s actually quite a slow start. Uh I looked this morning and it says neutralized 
start at 5:15 a.m. my time. They’re predicting the actual race start at 5:45. So kind of thinking 
because it’s the day after Bastile Day that uh they’re going to have like a little ceremony along 
the way. Actually watching the live feed right   now. Uh Lenny Martinez in the polka dot jersey. 
He scored 27 points uh I believe all on stage 10 there uh to take that and then he kind of fell 
back. Uh Ben Healey fantastic uh I guess secure he secured the yellow jersey. Uh didn’t win the 
stage. Simon Yates went up the road. Stage 10 was pretty crazy. Um saw a lot of cool things develop. 
We’re going to go through all those today. So let me just grab that quick laptop over there. Sip 
of coffee everyone. fuel your coffee needs. Um, okay. So, we got this baby over here. We’re going to do this here. We’re going to put 
this uh thing or bobber over here. And I need some power. So, yeah. Yesterday, guys, caught up on my bike 
rides. Caught up on a lot of stuff I’ve been uh putting aside here at home for now. Let me 
refresh this and we’ll get into it. Okay, there we go. We are live here. It’s showing up live on my 
desktop. Just going to take a look and see. H Now, I’ve kind of messed that up, haven’t I? Okay, if 
I can see all that stuff. You know what I’m going   to do? I’m going to sit back a little bit today, 
guys. sitting back there. I think I can see things better now. Uh, and I have left the uh Oh, yeah. 
We’re going with the big look today, folks. Big camera. We’re going to shrink it down right away. 
Don’t Don’t worry about that. Um, okay, there it is. Let’s fire this up now. Fire this puppy up 
so I can see the chat that’s going on there so I don’t have to show that stuff to you guys on 
screen. Uh, yep. Kind of bright still. Turn that down. You know what I did? I turned down one of my 
ring lights. Okay, one of my ring lights. I have   one ring light. I don’t have a full professional 
setup here, guys. Uh, it’s happening though. It’s happening. We’re working our way up there. Uh, 
maybe someday Inside Cycling World will be the place for all your uh, you know, cycling fixes. 
What we’ll do right now is I’m going to close it down because once I start yammering on here, you 
know, my my daily four and a half to five hour non-stop uh, talking Well, put me up there, folks. 
Feeling good today, guys. Uh, it really felt like a good rest day for me. It actually kind of 
felt weird that I wasn’t streaming, though. Felt really weird I wasn’t streaming. Okay, so let’s go 
through this, guys. I got the chat going now over   here. I can see everyone. Dawn saying, “Stage 11, 
day 12, the tour to France. Let’s rock.” Indeed, Don, let’s rock. Uh guys, the mic will be up 
here like this just so you guys can all see it. When you see the little magical orange 
light go out, just yammer at me in the chat. Oh, Dawn here. He’s got it already. Dude, yeah, 
dude. I probably started the stream. I like   to start on time. I did see today though. Looks 
like we got a countdown here to the start. Guys, I think this is quite the slow start today. I 
want to show you this here. And this is why I’m   thinking this. Uh so, where are we? We’re stage 
11 right here. This is how I’m figuring all these things out as to when I need to be live. If you 
look at the time schedule here, so we just left uh and actually we left about 8 minutes 
late, but if you look at the original start, it was at 11:15. Uh sorry, that’s the caravan 1:15 
C EST. That’s 5:15 in the morning for me. Look at where the neutralized start is down here. It’s at 
1:45, so half an hour later. So, I wasn’t sure how to schedule this last night. Uh, I was sitting 
around. I did a lot of research last night, looking ahead at the stages to come. They all 
look fantastic. Ben Healey looking just fantastic   in that yellow jersey. What a performance by EF. 
You know what? So far, that’s probably the best performance of the tour to France, I would say. I 
mean, outside, you know, yep, Tatty’s dominating.   uh great performances by him, three wins by Sudal, 
uh which was really good, but Tim Merlier is an incredible sprinter. They’ve got Remco as their 
time trials. You kind of those things are kind   of like well that could happen quite easily, but 
for EF to be in the yellow jersey, that is like stunning. So, they’re probably the big winners of 
the Turf France so far, I would say. We’ve got the polka dots. We’ve got a looks like a Uno X rider 
at the front here and Jonathan Milan. Yeah. So, here it’s saying it’s a 16 kilometer neutralized 
start, guys. That gives us lots of time. So, if we go to the stage right now, uh you’ll notice 
here on the far left hand side, that’s our actual start. The actual the real start, we’re way before 
that right now. See Matteo Jorgensson off the back just kind of messing around here. So again, 
half hour to probably get to our start point today. I’m sure they’re going to probably speed 
it up a little bit because they want to stay on   schedule. They don’t It looks like they started 
eight minutes late to me. They’re probably going to speed up the uh procession a little bit to get 
them on that 5:45 start. Uh Dawn here. Oh yeah, guys, by the way, I was saying before I wanted the 
stream to start totally on time. I ran upstairs at 5:15 start time, said happy birthday to Joey 
Jojo. Joey Jojo’s birthday, guys. official day, July 16th. Uh well, yeah. So, I guess, yeah, 
we are doing a birthday dinner tonight. So, tonight, we just scheduled this last 
night. It’s going to be me, Joey, Jojo,   uh Addison, and Avery, the daughters. We’re 
going to meet at a really nice Italian place in Erdri tonight. And then for Saturday night, we 
have the uh the dinner downtown in Calgary at the uh Salt Lake. It’s a steakhouse downtown there. um 
contemplating. That’s the one I I kind of warned you guys about that I may miss some of the next 
stage, but I’m looking at the next stage and it   looks pretty exciting with the run into Carcasson. 
Uh so like I said to Joey Jojo, I said, “You know what? Your friends aren’t going to stay out late. 
If we’re meeting them for dinner at 6:30, we’re   going to be done by 9:30. So we might as well just 
jump in the car and drive home.” So I’m thinking that’s what we’re going to do. Uh okay. So yeah, 
we are going for dinner tonight. Doug Sanders is in the mix here now too, Doug. Good to see you. 
Ian Holmes, hey buddy. Nice to hear you. Uh, yeah, super ride from Ben. Incredible ride. Like 
to me, we expect Tatty to win. We expect Matthew Vanderpole to win. Did anyone think that EF would 
be in the yellow jersey? Not one person out there   said that. I sure didn’t. Uh, so awesome 
for EF. Uh, great performance by the team, too. They had four riders in that early break. 
They knew exactly what they were doing. So, people are slowly filtering them. I imagine it’s 
going to be a very slow start to the day. Guys,   I can’t thank you enough for the last video. That 
last video we put out, we the community here, uh, that video had more views than any 
video ever before. What’s crazy is that was a Monday video. The Monday before is right 
up there. So, there’s something about Mondays, which it’s going to change this Monday because 
there’s this week the Monday is the rest day. So,   what a crazy tour. 10 days straight. The 
longest they’ve gone, I think, uh, before the first rest day. Now, we only have five days. 
We’ve got Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,   Sunday of racing. Today is going to be the easiest 
day out of them out of them all. Today is the easy day. Today is the chance for uh smaller budget 
teams, teams that haven’t won anything yet. They need to get to the front. Okay, so let’s just go 
through this quick, guys. Uh I was looking at the rankings there before. So yeah, this is why I was 
saying it was going to be a late start. I’m like,   do I schedule this for 5:15 or 5:45? Well, I like 
to get up, so this is what we’re doing. Uh Brett Rogers here. Everyone’s here early today. Leona. 
Leona here is wishing Joey Jojo a happy birthday already. Looks like everyone’s still saying 
it’s a 70% uh chance of a sprint victory today. Uh yeah, Tony C saying first like come on people 
hit that button. Yeah, guys, if you can hit the   button, that’d be great. Uh okay, guys. I know I 
need to turn this down. That is really bright. Uh I do have my I wonder if I can set this all 
up so it’s a dark screen. That’s what I’ve been trying to do on all my stuff, you guys. Set 
everything up dark and then have a look. You know, I’ve got my producer upstairs telling me I’m way 
too bright on screen. Whatever, Joey. Deal with it. Happy birthday, by the way. Get over it. 
My future’s bright. Got to wear shades. How about that? Okay, guys. Rankings. Let’s do this 
quick. Again, we got a really long start today, so this will let me get up to speed here. Uh, this 
is stage ranking yesterday. Simon Yates, Tim Syman Erison. This guy was incredible yesterday. Uh, I 
think this is our best placed Inios Grenadier. No, it’s not. Best place Inos Grenadier rider is uh 
Carlos Rodriguez. Kind of caught me sleeping. Ben Healey third. Uh, and I’ve seen things like, you 
know, they were talking him up on the radio. Uh, take it easy, Ben. Don’t kill yourself. 
We’ve got the jersey. We’re in yellow. So,   it was kind of like, let’s dial it down. And also 
too, I saw things afterwards. Tatty and both Remco were pretty happy to not have to go into I forget 
what they call it. I’m going to call it the mosh   pit. Uh maybe the snake pit from from Metallica, 
but afterwards they all got to go in and do their hour and a half long interviews. Same questions 
every day. It must get frustrating for them. So, Remco and uh Tatty both were glad to give 
up the jerseys before the rest day. So, wasn’t their strategy? No. I’m sure if Tatty 
really I bet you Tatty wanted to keep the jersey, but the his reward is that he doesn’t have to do 
the press conference afterwards. Uh, some really good stuff going on here, guys. Take a look at 
the overall standings. Ben Healey first place,   Tatty in second, Remco in third. Uh, Vocalon fell 
down a little bit here to 226 behind in sixth place. Matteo’s in fifth place. Yonas still in 
fourth. Oscar only. What a superstar here for team picnic postNL. Uh seventh place, eighth place, 
Floren Lipowitz and the veteran, the super pro Primos Rajlick right here. Uh look at these two 
riders. They’re 7 seconds apart. The old guy, the old lion and uh wow, old. I think he’s 36. Yeah, 
he’s so old, guys. Uh and Florian Lipoitz, guys, they’re just lurking in the background. They are 
just lurking in the background. Johansson here,   this 10th spot for him is probably so important 
for UnoX Mobility. Uh I think top 10, you’re in. You’re in. That’s a really really good showing for 
any team. People remember the top 10. Uh you know, it go it looks really good on a Riders Palarz. Uh 
but what I did want to show you here is there’s going to be a huge fight going on. This is going 
to be one of the coolest fights to me between 10th   place and I’m willing to go all the way back 
to 15th. There’s only a two-minute gap. So, Johansson at 505, Felix Gaul at 538. He’s on fire 
this year. Uh Carlos Rodriguez, this is the Is it Carlos or Christian? Carlos. Carlos Rodriguez just 
quietly lurking back there uh for Inos Grenaders. Then we have um okay this doesn’t look right 
that’s stage sorry there’s general ranking general ranking okay is in 12th at 544 just 6 
seconds back another 12 second backs we’ve got enrich mass who’s been he’s held 13th since 
stage 10 guys uh still uh over 10 kilometers to the start so everyone drop some comments in 
here let me know how your day is going so far uh okay sheila’s here No, Sheila saying 
good morning. Good morning to you, Sheila. Yeah, Tony says, “Anyone time anytime someone 
calls you break, just go with it. Take the win.”   Exactly. Joey’s uh getting happy birthday 
wishes from Sheila here. Uh Dawn saying, “I think Lipoitz is going to make a move today.” 
Yeah. Uh I most guys are planning they’re hoping for a breakaway today. They do not want the 
sprint. Uh today’s the day they can win. Okay,   guys. tomorrow. We’ll go through that as well. 
Tomorrow is the how to come. Uh we’ve got I think we got four climbs in total that are categorized 
with an HC. So I think we see our first cat one   tomorrow and our first AC tomorrow. Let 
me just finish up then I’ll jump there. So Enrich Mass is in 13th. Then we roll down 
a little bit. We back up another 30 seconds to this guy here. Been really quiet for Total 
Energies. Jordan Jagat just lurking back there for total energies. Uh why I wonder why it always 
defaults to that the stage ranking. This is a huge uh place for them right now. 14th place overall. 
Remember guys, there’s a relegation system at the World Tour level uh and and Pro Series and 
Continental Series. There’s only 18 licenses for the World Tour teams. are constantly battling over 
a three-year period to accumulate points to say, “You’re a World Tour team, you’re a Pro Series 
team. Teams are being moved up and moved down all the time.” Uh, so UNOX would be a Pro Series 
team. Uh, I believe Total Energies is a Pro Series team right now. If you’re a World Tour team, if 
you hold a World Tour license, you automatically get an invite to all the World Tour events. the 
other teams that are just about right there, they’re looking for wild cards. So, not sure if 
you guys have noticed or not, but Tom Pitcock,   he’s not in the race. Why? He’s on a Pro Series 
team called Q36.5. Uh they didn’t get an invite. I did see that Q365 is invited to the VA. 
So, you will see Tom Pickock there probably uh contending for the victory. And then uh Victor 
Skelemo’s here, too. Sorry, Victor. Where did that come from? I was looking at a picture of Victor 
Camponard on screen. Martin Skeleos. Okay, I got to check these names on, guys. Matus Skeleos. He 
was 10th before yesterday’s stage and looks like he lost a bit of time yesterday. Uh, so he’s 
back to 15th. Then I think it’s a threeminute gap back to 16th place. So, going to be a huge 
battle here for these positions cuz guys want to get into that top 10. Yeah. So, Gem Martan here, 
he’s like three minutes back. So, I know things are going to change in the mountains. It’s all 
going to go off here soon, folks. But these guys   are all fighting to try to take uh Johansson’s 
position in 10th place there. Uh Rodri, I think, is going to help Lipoitz move up. I think Rodri 
knows that’s kind of his job now. I’ve seen enough of people saying he needs to retire now. He 
needs to just retire instantly. Why? He’s still in ninth place at the Tour to France. Uh people are 
talking about his salary. That’s his job. That’s what he does. You know, that’s what they decided 
to pay him and that’s his contract. Uh okay, guys. Uh oh, Tony here. Did you ever do the 
poll question on salary caps? If so,   do you remember the results? Tony, 
I didn’t. Uh, let’s do that now. So, we do have my sprint one here. We can do 
that, guys. Still in the neutralize start. So, looks like most people are saying it’s 
going to be a sprint finish. We’re just going to end that poll there. And I can 
zip down here. Um, start a poll. Should Oh, small keyboard, guys. Small 
keyboard. Should there be a salary cap? So, it’s just going to be a yes, no, and boom, 
we’re off to the races. And that’s a good poll, Tony. Thank you for suggesting that. So, we 
I you know I stopped that first poll early,   but I bet you that’s going to be generally 
what they would say 7030 sprint breakaway. Uh Ian here saying tomorrow maybe who in the yellow 
jersey CX. Uh Ian, let me know what you who you mean there. Back in the day, a bunch of different 
teams used to race the US Pro Championship Series in June to try and get the wild card for the 
tour. Yeah. So these teams right now basically   uh like UNOX is trying to get up there and 
so how they do it it’s over a three-year time span. What’s very important about that is that 
the end this year is the end of that three-year time span where they do the relegations, 
the promotions and the relegation system.   So the top two teams go up. So, if the Pro Series 
teams are outscoring the UCI World Tour teams Oh, wow. Joey Jojo is giving me a reverse 
birthday gift here. Thank you very much,   Joey. Happy Thanks for the birthday wishes, 
everyone. Uh, I guess uh I’ll put that towards the uh the dinner tonight. Thank you, Joey. Jojo 
in the mix. Happy birthday. Have a great day. Mike saying, “I’m really missing the algorithms 
with your content. Half the ads I get are French   now.” I had that happen a while ago, too, Mike. 
I’m like, “Why am I getting so many French ads? I just think they see Tur to France.” And Doug 
thinks we are back for a quiet day. I think there’s going to be attacks early. We do have four 
categorized clims. Let’s take a look at the route, guys, quickly here. So, we are on stage 11 of 
the tour of France, guys. Can’t believe we’re here already. Uh, and as much as I liked my rest 
day yesterday, just I didn’t feel under a lot of pressure. I could sleep in a tiny bit. Uh, I kind 
of missed hanging out here, too. Five categorized climbs, guys. Sprint points quite a bit later 
on. Um I think with so much determination for the breakaway to succeed every day now and teams 
needing to get points uh again we are at the end of the relegation promotion year. It ends this 
year. Two teams will be bumped up. Two teams are going down. Uh if the points work out right. So 
who I think is in Well, I think it’s Lotto. I’d have to take a look at it, guys. I I stared at it 
last night for a long time. Uh so you’re going to get UCI points based on the performance of your 
team. Certain teams miss certain races. Uh they don’t get involved in those points. So it’s 
all team scoring uh based on your riders. I think they use the top 20 riders in each team. 
That determines where you are. If you don’t if you’re not one of the World Tour licenses, you’re 
not guaranteed an entry to the Tur of France, to the VA, to the uh the Jirro and all the one-day 
events. uh or the shorter stage races. So, you may have a really strong team and you’re sitting on 
the outside uh because you’re not a world tour team and you didn’t get a wild card entry. Okay, 
turn this up again here. Oh, that is bright, isn’t it? So, that’s our stage today, guys. Uh why don’t 
we take a little look at Okay, we can do here. Let’s go to I think we’re going to go to the 
official briefing today. So, you can see how   they designed the stage today. Let’s just 
let that run. I can have a sip of coffee here and we’ll do this. More French for you, Mike. More French. Enjoy 
every commercial being in French now. So yeah, we’re into loose today, guys. We’re doing like 
a big loop out and back. We don’t actually go   back to the start point. Obviously, that 
would be too crowded. Uh, one early climb, sprint point about three quarters through, 
and then four climbs at the end. Yeah, weird. I’ve got French subtitles here and English 
there. Uh, can I fix that for you guys? Yep, there we go. There’s your English. I’m going 
to go with that just so I can understand it.   So guys, we are at basically the outskirts 
of the Pyrenees here. We’re not very far away. We’re totally getting set up for tomorrow. 
Little conversation still in a neutralized start, guys. So this does end in the center of Tulus. 
Yeah, right here they’re saying it could suit someone like Vanderpole, Vanart, Alfalipe, 
or maybe even Pogy. All depends how it goes. Yeah, this could be all out sprint. That’s I think 
that’s Caleb Ewan from the past. Yes, it is. You   can tell by his sprint style. Uh that’s one he I 
think he was on lotto. Uh he’s now retired. Caleb Euan from Australia. Uh I got my hands crossed 
now here. So this is going to be hard to do. Can look at that there. The teams. Let’s 
take a look at the stage right now. Again, we’re nowhere near the start here. Uh I did 
want to show you a couple things here down   at the bottom. Here’s our jerseys. So, we 
got Ben Healey in the yellow. Ben Healey in the best young riders jersey. Jonathan Milan 
and Lenny Martinez here for Barin Victorious. Let’s go through these pictures. Actually, 
we got to back up quite a way. Here we go. Today is one of the stages I have in mind. 
I I doubt he thinks he’s going to sprint   against Jonathan Milan. I think this is 
going to be more of a breakaway today and it was earlier today Magnus Court here. The 
goal for me today is being the breakaway today. So guys are already thinking about it. You 
know with uh with the hoticon being tomorrow, a lot of these breakaway guys don’t stand a 
chance. Stage 12, uh, 13, yeah, stage 13 is the, uh, mountain time trial. Stage 14 is another 
brutal day in the mountains. Stage 15, uh, two big climbs and then we descended 
to Carcasson. While I’ve got you here, we’re going to do that here, folks. We’re just 
going to go back to the route quickly. So,   we’ve seen Tuloose. Let’s take a look at 
tomorrow. Keep an eye over here. Still says we’re over 5 kilometers to the 
start. This is the hoticcom tomorrow. Uh, and you can see it here. Category 4 started 
us out. Uh, I I bet you we almost depart from the the Tuloose area. I’ll have to take a look at 
the map and see what the transition’s like. Uh, okay. So, yeah, Doug’s saying, “Happy birthday, 
Joey. We are back for quite okay.” Vou Don, that’s all the French I know. Yeah. Yeah. And and 
Tony, you’re right here. Any sprinter who is not looking forward to tomorrow has got to try to do 
something today. And the same applies to all the   other teams. You know, there’s a lot of teams 
here that really don’t have a big takeaway from the tour. EF’s tour is already complete. Just 
the stage win that Ben Healey got, that was enough. And then to get the yellow jersey, what 
was it four days later? Something like that. Uh okay. So yeah, this is tomorrow. This HC 
finish. So we see our first cat one of the tour 11.8 km at 7.3%. Uh C is borders and the 
HC climate autocom. I was on climbinder all last night tracking out where these roads map 
together. It’s so cool when you look at it in detail on that mapping package. Uh these roads 
are everywhere. You take one left or you’re off to this HC. You take this right. Oh, you’re 
going into a C category one over there. Keep   going straight ahead. Oh, it’s a cat three. It’s 
a simple cat 3. That’s it’s so easy for them to piece all these things together. So, that will 
be Thursday. Do not miss that stage, guys. And uh I did want to point something out here, 
too. I don’t know if you guys saw in the chat, Colin Coat is in the mix. Good morning. Uh we is 
all the French I know. One James. Hey, James. Uh James Delara here from Corsa. He was thinking 
he only got the French ads cuz he’s in France,   but I guess that’s not the case. James, uh, had 
lots of time yesterday. I got a ride in on Ruby. I rode in Corsica yesterday. Now, where did I ride 
in Corsica? No idea. Super easy ride. I’m going to tell you right now, James. Okay, that’s not the uh 
Well, what’s the best Okay, I’m going to tell you here. This might be easier for me to do it here. 
I can look at my calendar here. We’re going to   look at me home. Uh maybe it’s a challenge route. 
I know that. Here I like to get distracted. It’s called the coastal corsica challenge over on Ruvie 
and I rode from Paul Mara to Partanel. Quick 25 kilometers downhill virtually all the way. Couple 
little kicks. I rode it actually on a TT bike uh because the kicks weren’t big enough 
to hurt me. So, stage 12 Thursday will be mindblowing. And if you guys remember a 
little while ago a little there was a chat uh it said bike terra. That’s the newest, the 
latest and the greatest out of all the cycling apps. I’m just keeping an eye here to see when 
we’re going to launch here, guys. No launch yet. Yeah, no launch yet. Uh, so Bike Terra 
dropped a comment here. Hey Colin, doing great job. Really appreciate the comments. 
Uh, I’ve done race commentary for them over on their pro their platform. I’ve asked questions in 
my videos and the developers have came on into my YouTube channel and answered all of the questions 
like point by point. I’m like, “Wow, they actually   listen.” Uh, the community helps you develop your 
programs, your platforms. So, you should listen to your community. They reached out to me a couple 
days ago and said it was supposed to be today, guys. I’ll probably try to show it to you. I don’t 
know if I should. Uh, it’s been cancelled and   rescheduled to tomorrow. They are going to be able 
to broadcast the location of the pros. Probably not everyone, but the majority of the groups. So, 
like I know when I saw the little teaser for it, it had Jonathan Milan, Tatty, Yonas, uh, and a 
bunch of other riders, all the jerseys. And so then that way I can show you where they are 
through the application of where they are in the real world because sometimes it’s kind of 
visualize it here just with the thing going   across the board and camera shots from directors 
that we don’t know. I’ll be able to show you where they are because I have full control over it. Wow, 
I’m getting another present here. And I’m getting a birthday cake from uh Disbury Dental Center. Uh 
Bingham Germay just getting a wheel change right now uh in the neutralized start. So that might 
slow things down a bit. I think today is very important for Bingham. Um because Jonathan Milan 
has quite the lead now. I think Bingham needs to try to win more points in at the intermediate 
sprints. Uh I don’t think he has the top end speed to beat Jonathan Milan this year. this year. I’m 
just saying. So, uh, back to Bike Terra. I’ll be able to show you. Do my normal thing. Pull up Bike 
Terra, guys. While I’m here, I’m going to do it now because the race isn’t on. Uh, let’s just make 
sure the race isn’t on. You can see it’s not on.   Nothing’s happened yet. What I’m going to do is 
I’m going to pull this up. Uh, we’re going to pull this guy up. We’re going to close this guy down. 
This is Bike Terra. Uh, so this is a browserbased application. And what I’m going to do is I need 
to get into it. browserbased application. So you don’t Welcome back, Colin. See, I’ve actually 
ridden this, guys. Uh I’m surprised I’ve only ridden 35.7 kilometers on here. Is that true? 
Yeah, I guess it is true. Uh so you can see here they’ve got the M murder de Britannia route. And 
right here, you can see it turf France live still in a neutralized star guy. Cancel today. It was 
supposed to go off. So, what this was going to do, realworld riders, people like me, people 
like you at home, could do the exact same   stage at the exact same time as the pros. See how 
quickly we get massacred. So, what you would see is yourself on screen and all the other riders. 
It would probably show you the locations of the specific riders. Uh, using spectate mode, I can 
jump ahead and catch up with different groups. It’s kind of like being the director of the tour 
to France. It’s like when there’s a breakaway and   they decide to show you uh four riders at the 
back and you want to see the breakaway. Uh in this case, I’m in control of the camera. So, using 
just this mouse uh gives me full ability to circle around up, down, left, right, zoom in, zoom out. 
Uh they’ve totally nailed the camera control for spectating races. So, events tomorrow, guys. 
I want to show you this right here. Stage 12, uh, the hoticcom is tomorrow. So, they bumped the 
stage one, sorry, stage 11. It’s going to stage 12 tomorrow. I hope the guys are okay with me showing 
all this stuff. Uh, guys, take a look at it. Check it out. If you’re interested in riding your bike 
inside, this is one of the best ways to do it right here. Let’s get back to it. Turn that off. 
So, that’ll be going I’m So, I’m going to use that tomorrow, too. I’m going to put that in the video 
and say, “Guys, when they’re going up switchbacks, uh when there’s breaks that you can’t see 
where the break is, I can pull that up and   bounce from group to group.” How much detail 
I’m going to get, I don’t know yet. As you saw, I did say trial run if you had an eagle eye there. 
It’s the first attempt for them to do this. How they’ve accessed the data, I don’t know. Uh so 
guys for your big uh training platforms, Zift is kind of the granddaddy of them all. Ruby, uh 
that’s the video option. Training Peaks virtual, another kind of closedw world, graphics-based. 
My whoosh closed world, graphics-based, and you keep you keep hear me saying closed world. 
So they’re all closed world. Uh you get on the courses and that’s where you’re going to stay. 
uh Zift Training Peaks virtual and my whoosh. You can turn and you can ride whatever you want in 
those closed worlds. You could do a loop 50 times over if you want. You could do a ride. You could 
ride 24 hours straight if you want. Uh Berra gives you the option to ride any road in the world. As 
long as you have the GPX file, you can ride it. You create a ride and it’s there. So, they’ve gone 
with the uh kind of the the simplistic art style, which I think for showing the uh the tour races 
will be very helpful. The other ones would not help me at all. Uh I could show you little video 
clips, but I can’t really show you the pro riders. By terror is the only one that’s going to allow 
me to do that. So, they’ve got something. Uh oh, Ultima Dental’s now flying in here. Uh yeah. So, 
um maybe that’s the other manager from the other dental clinic. Battle of the dental clinics. 
Yeah. So, I think there’s three dental clinics uh all under the one doctor. Uh Joey runs the best 
one. Disby Dental Center. Just checking out here guys. Still haven’t gotten through the neutralized 
start. They did say 545 553. We should be through it right away cuz we did start 8 minutes 
late. Let’s get back to the chat here, guys. So hopefully understand that all those platforms 
have different price structures. Uh Colin Coats is here. He does use uh Zift a lot. Uh I think I 
think uh Zift for me is probably like $24 a month, but to me as a gym membership thing, I’m like 
that’s great. Uh Ruby is about the same price. Ruby just had a price increase. Training Peaks 
virtual I think was around $20 a month thinking all US slash yeah maybe that’s US probably 20 a 
month US 25 Canadian same for Ruby training peaks is in there somewhere my whoosh is absolutely 
free uh again closed world but you can turn and go wherever you want lots of hill climbing if 
you want it uh but it’s graphics too and well I don’t think it’s a negative but it’s developed 
by UAE oil money, all that kind of stuff. Enough said. I love it. Uh, Bike Terra, guys. That’s 
the new kid on the block with the ability to ride anywhere you want. So, let’s say you’re 
doing a charity ride. Uh, you’re not a great cyclist. You’re just starting out. There’s lots 
of people like that. Okay, we must be getting close to the start now. So, like, if you were 
doing a charity ride, something like that. Okay,   they’re already starting. They’re started, guys. 
They’re off right now. They are are they are off. Uh in our leading group right now, Mororrow 
Schmidt, uh Yonas Abraham, and Danielle Davided Ballerini for XDSana. Guys, it’s going to be a 
smash fest right from the beginning. Today, today we got seven riders chasing uh Burke Mo, Vout Van 
Art. He said this was probably his kind of stage. Uh Yasper Stoven, Connor Swift. Here’s a name 
I’m not familiar with. Nicholas Markle from Team Picnic. This was the D. This was the DS team. The 
DS team. Wow, that’s hard to say. DSM team last year. Team DSM. How about I say it that way? Uh 
Bento from Stage One and Arnold Demar from Arca. It’s going to be hot today, folks. It is going 
to be hot. Uh we are getting to actually some brutal weather conditions coming up. Uh, I think 
the weather forecast for this part of the world heading down Celtic, guys, do I think we do 
the von 2 on Friday. Is the von is that this week? Okay guys, I need to have a look at 
this for a second here. Uh, let’s come back here. We’re going to go to the routes again just 
quickly here. We know we’re doing that hotic. Uh, this is our mountain time trial here. All 
out effort. Destroy yourself up to parags. uh surfing around yesterday. You can cut the 
backside. Oh, cool. They’re showing uh one of   the remaining concords here in Tulus. Yeah, man. 
That thing was quite the uh piece of technology during his days. Pow to Lucon Superbaners. 
Okay, so Vonu must be next week. Uh this will be Friday after Sorry guys, this is Saturday, 
Thursday. This is the mountain time trial. Uh, okay. Today’s Wednesday. Is today 
Wednesday? Yeah. I’ve lost track. Okay. Thursday is the mountain time trial. How How can 
I keep screwing that up? Come on, Colin. Yeah, it says here it says Friday. Come on, dude. Uh, so 
if that’s that hotcomic is Thursday. Mountain time trial Friday. Solo efforts. You got no one to hide 
behind. Saturday is Super Baners. Uh then Sunday, which I thought was going to be more of 
a chill route. Take a look at the profile here. Cat 3 sprint early will keep the pace 
super high. Then we start doing the climbs. Cat 3. Cat 3. These two cat 3s are quite 
funny to me. Uh this cat 3 2 kilometers long at 7%. This cat 3 six kilometers long at 
5.5. This will be way harder than the first one. That’s a Cat 4 to me. Uh then we’ve 
got a Cat 2 right before the finish. Uh I guess it is still 40 50 kilometers out. 
Uh but if you can get over the top first,   it’s downhill all the way flat run into the finish 
into Carcasson. The white walls of Carcasson. Let’s get back to the live, guys. 
Let’s get back to the live in the   front. Still got our three out front. 
Guys are going to be pushing super hard up here trying to get into the break. I’m 
going to give you a look at the map here,   too. Here is our map. You can see we’re 
going on this clockwise route out into the countryside. Cat 4 coming early. Sprint point 
coming 2/3, maybe even 3/4 into the stage. So, the sprinters are just going to be hanging on 
watching the breakaways get out of there. I’m   going to make sure I get fully caught up here. So, 
I’m as live as I can get. Uh, let’s get up there. Yeah, they’re attacking immediately from the 
flag drop. Those three those three riders   went off the front immediately. Remember, 
Uno X has got a rider there. Uh they have a rider in the top 10 tour this year. See, 
we’re heading out this nice direction here. Clockwise all the way around back to Tuloose. 
And just to give you an idea of where we are, the Pyrenees are right here. And Pandora 
wedged right in the Pyrenees. Uh the majority of tomorrow is Po Po. So we probably take a 
couple hour bus ride across here to Po and then head out probably in the south westerly 
direction to get right up into the guts of the Pyrenees here. Let’s get back to the race 
here. See what the commentary is saying here. So there’s still three riders up front. 
Van Art wants to get something going today.   Uh he’s had some flashes. He would finish second 
in one stage. Uh but he’s been kind of really hit and miss so far this tour. Back to my chat here. 
Um okay, we got to go back a bit. Dawn. Yeah, Foot Loose Kevin Bacon. I love it. I don’t think 
I’ve ever watched that full movie. Yeah, Dawn’s into that right now. Yeah, Dbury Danel. Uh, happy 
birthday, Joey Jojo. Disby Dental Center’s got a piece of cake for uh, the office will be opening 
uh, shortly there. I think I think they open at 7 a.m. Someone might be in the office already. Evan 
Barren here says, “Cool.” Yeah, Ian saying we be smoked by the pros on this app. I did see about 
12 riders signed up for it this morning. Uh so it’s really cool guys because uh Matt, one of the 
developers at Bike Terra, I think it’s two guys, uh he reached out to me through my Inside Cycling 
World Discord channel and said, “Hey, Colin,   we’re doing this.” Didn’t ask me to do anything. 
Uh didn’t say, “Hey man, can you do this for us?” Nothing. Just said, “Hey, dude. This is what we’re 
doing if you’re interested.” Yeah, I’m interested,   man. And because they’re the dudes that interacted 
with me, I want to show it off for them. So, I’m going to show it off for them when I get 
it. So, I jumped on this morning and saw it.   I think it had just been cancelled because there 
was people still signed up waiting for it. Uh, so instead of getting this route, and it was the 
full route, too, guys. It’s the full route. The map on Bike Terra looks just like the map we’re 
seeing here today on Tuloose. Same app. It’s the same GPX file. Um, so they said, “Okay 
guys, sorry about that, but guess what? As a reward for you guys for being here with us, 
tomorrow you get to do the hotcom. Enjoy.” Uh, over a thousand meters of elevation game in 
that climb alone at the very end. It’s an HC at the finish. There should be massive points 
uh for the polka dot jersey in that one. Oo, look at this here. Let’s have a little look at 
this over on X here. This is just showing the breakaway forming here early today, guys. Uh have 
are getting word here that uh Milan’s going for it. Actually, I got to turn something else on over 
here, guys. I’ve been up for so long. Uh you think I would have this set up by now. So, let me get 
over here. Tour tracker. Okay, we’re good. Live. We’re doing that. Just to get some more details. 
So, should be a fairly fast stage today, I think, between the the breakaways. Oo, seeing some 
penalties uh from yesterday. They’re showing fines. Uh kind of weird the way they say it. 
Feeding on foot outside the designated zone. Matteo Tasado. Oh, the sports director uh 
was fined a thousand Swiss Franks. Wow. Uh feed. Okay, so guys, they’re really hitting them 
hard. Feeding zone infractions. The team team assistants were penalized for violating by feeding 
riders outside of the designated areas. Oh wow, dude. Okay, I know this is not of super importance 
to you, but one of the team directors or team assistants for Alpas and Decoynic is Eric 
Vanderarden. Dude, the 80s. Eric Vanderarden, I think he’s Belgian. Uh, he was the man. He was 
the man in the early 80s going up battling against Bernardino. No. Uh, he was probably more of a 
classics guy, a strong man. Uh, quite the sprint on him, too. But yeah, Eric Vanderarden is here 
as a team assistant. And he was a bad boy. He got a penalty. Uh, Mobile Star two Mobilear riders 
got a two uh, sorry, assistance. So, there are designated feed areas. Uh, I don’t think they show 
on the map at all, but there’s certain areas where you’re allowed to feed, where they’re allowed to 
pass you food. You can’t go back to your car and   get a burger. If you get that burger, they don’t 
eat burgers. If you get that burger, though, it’s off the side of the road from a team assistant, a 
designated team assistant. In the lead right now,   we still got our three. They’re letting them go. 
Uh 27 second back to Robert Stannard here. Let’s take a look at Robert Stannard. Bahrain victorious 
Australian. And then we got a 32 second back gap back to the Pelaton guys. Things to talk about 
Friday. Friday. What am I talking about? Uh Monday stage 10. What I like seeing there. Simon Yates. 
He looks good. He looks really good. He’s still a worldclass climber. Uh he proved that at the JRO. 
He’s on it right now. Uh other interesting things, Seep Cous, we finally saw his presence. Matteo 
Jorgensson has quite the attack on him. So Vizma looked really strong at the front. We know the 
breakaway was up down the up the road. Ben Healey   on the way to securing the yellow jersey. Uh but 
when Matteo attacked, he split the entire group of elite, the elite of the elite. He bust them all 
apart. He actually threw Sepoose out the back. His attack was so hard and Tatty reacted to him 
like it was fighting for the yellow jersey. Tatty refused to let him get away. Um him being Matteo 
Jorgensson. Uh really strong a strong attack by Matteo. I’m thinking Matteo, Simon, and Se. Se did 
get dropped out of that group, but so did a lot of other riders. Kevin Vogalong got dropped out of 
the group. Maybe that was Seb’s plan that day. I’m not going with this one. I’m saving my legs 
for later. Uh but between Se, Matteo Jorgensson, Simon Yates, that’s a lot of firepower to start 
working on Tatty. Uh I think Tatty’s team is very strong. The UAE riders, Tim Wellins, Solair, 
Neil Polllet, but Solair’s the only real one that can hang in the high mountains with him. and he 
didn’t hang in the rolling hills of stage 10. So, I’m a little bit concerned that he doesn’t have 
the firepower he needs. I mean, the thing about it   is Tatty can hang by himself, but I think he’s 
going to be isolated early early on at these uh at this tour. So, yeah, they’re showing here 
Robert Standard’s pursuit. We’ve already seen that at kilometer 12 standard trails by 25 seconds 
and the Pelaton by 1 minute. So, we’ve already seen this here. I’m just going to go flash back 
through some pictures for you guys uh near live   here. Maybe I’ll do this a different way. Uh 
let me let me catch up the chat, guys. Uh early parts of the stage so far. So, yeah, they were 
really cracking down on feeding zone yesterday. Uh yeah, so it was mostly the team assistants 
and sport directors yesterday. So, the legend Eric Vanderordan got it. uh DS’s for two teams 
got 200 Swiss Frank F sign f find f find f find f find f find f find f find f find f find f 
find fines uh and then this one here feeding on foot I wonder if that means he’s running 
along and just passing his rider some food uh thousand Swiss Franks this is what happened 
to Tatty a couple years ago when he basically   bonked he ran out of food on the stage uh because 
there’s specific fooding feeding zones no one wants to carry extra weight in their pockets So, 
you get your food, you eat. It’s 28° C out there,   guys. Uh, and Ian, I’m going to go back to 
you again. Just catching up now. We would be smoked by the pros on this app. Yeah, but 
there would be normal people riding there,   too. Uh, happy birthday to Joey there. Battle of 
Dental Services. Costa Rica mountain biking. Hey, dude. Good to see you. Uh, reached out to 
me on I think it was believe Instagram. Yeah, dental companies like the cyclists. Ian 
says he’s going to look at Bike Terra. Yeah, Ian. Uh, beauty of Bike Terra is uh it’s simple, 
it’s browser based, you don’t have to put a big install. Just for an example, my whoosh is free 
as well. Uh, it’s got really really good graphics. By Terra has gone the very opposite way. They’ve 
gone for like almost keep it as simple as possible look, but if you have a smart trainer and a 
bike, it will feel exactly the same as my whoosh. the simulation, the gradients are the same. Uh 
so you’re not going to be saying, “Oh, wow. It doesn’t look as good, so it doesn’t feel as good 
to me.” It it feels the same to your legs and your   lungs. Uh it’s browser based, so you don’t you 
don’t have to install anything on your PC. My whoosh is over it’s over 30 gigs uh install, I 
believe. So depending what device you’re using, maybe you’re concerned about that. Uh my whoosh 
right now I can’t even get it to run to be honest. Uh and that’s my fault, but they want me to go it 
open a DOS shell or some DOSs command prompt and start doing some stuff and I’m like I I don’t want 
to do that. I shouldn’t have to do that. By Terra does that all for me. Uh Berra is free to ride 
a selection of routes. So, they pick six routes a day and say, “These are your six freebies.” If 
you want access to the entire world and upload as many routes as you want. I think for me in Canada, 
it’s $5.99 a month. So, it’s probably $4.99 in the States. Let’s keep on this year, guys. Let’s 
see how this breakaway gets established. Uh, looks like it’s came back together. We’ve only got 
our three front now. So, there was a middle group,   the vout group, uh, quickly got absorbed back 
in by the Pelaton there. So, we got our three riders. These are the very three riders that 
took off at the very beginning of today. Uh,   guys, 200 people watching. I wasn’t sure how 
today would go with it being a Wednesday after a rest day. So glad everyone here. Let’s 
hit the like button if you can, guys,   so other people can see my videos. Um, okay. So, 
Ian’s going to look at bike terra. Good stuff. Don saying he used to record tour stages 
on VHS and ride along on a trainer. Then   it was DVD and DV DVR. Yeah, Don, I used to do 
the same thing way back in the day. Actually, you know what’s funny? Yesterday I was watching 
2006 Tour to France, the Floyd Landis stage. Well, that was the year he won the tour and then 
it got stripped away from him. But the stage,   I think it’s stage I think it was stage 17 where 
he destroyed the entire Pelaton by himself. Uh like he beat the tour to France by himself. 
everyone. It was so ridiculous looking back on it now watching it’s like really how did we 
all fall for this? How did we all fall for this?   But we did. Uh yeah, they caught up with them 
though. Um yes, some good comments coming here, guys. Thank you very much. Uh and I’m falling 
behind. Uh Colin saying, “My gym was 40 bucks a month, so I saved money when I moved to Zift. 
Still enjoys his outdoor rides, but Zift is a   game changer for me.” Yeah, Colin is very active 
on Swift and he’s a very high-end racer. Uh Colin, I don’t know your racing score right now, but I 
know it’s quite high. Don’s cheering on Abrahamson here. Uh was he in the break? Yeah, he is in the 
break. Guys, just have a quick look here. I want to see the rankings again quick. Uh yeah, stop 
doing that to me. I want the GC, guys. Give me the GC. Okay, it’s Johansson for Uno X that’s in the 
front. Uh but yeah, Uno X, they need points. They want to get World Tour. They want to be the first 
Norwegian team to hit World Tour license. So, one team is going to lose its official designated 
World Tour license. It gets taken away. Uh Israel Primary Tech, uh they’re probably going to get 
theirs back, though. They’re doing really well.   Uh another team will get a World Tour license. So, 
it’s promotion and relegation. and we’re at the end of that cycle this year. So, I think you’re 
going to see some awesome battles here in the   tour. Uh there’s a ton of races after this, guys. 
I’m going to cover as many as I can next month. Me and Joey Jojo were talking about them all last 
night. Uh let me catch up here. Abramson Zifties. Um Ian saying the Zift app is getting 
better. Mall riding scenarios. Okay, I’m not sure what I’m seeing 
there. Uh what am I reading? Okay, Ian, maybe you can explain what 
you mean there. Riding scenarios. Uh,   call quotes. I don’t use the app much, but 
it’s much better on my computer than when it started. Oh, yeah. They keep expanding it. 
And, you know, I ride around. I’m like, “Hey,   where does that road go?” You can tell it’s an 
expansion road. Just look at parts of the map that are just kind of like blank. Like, I call it 
the fog of cycling. Uh, you don’t know what’s out there. That’s future expansions. Uh, people always 
say, “Oh, Zift needs more roads. need more roads. They have the most users. Uh it’s popular. Zift to 
me, I’ve said to other friends, Zift to me is like the Apple app of whatever it is you’re using. 
The other apps are more like an Android app, you know? They they do the same thing. They’re 
just maybe not as slick. Zift does it all really slick for you. Uh I think that’s what a lot 
of people like about it. Huge community, too. Um, Ortiggeras Yahoo is back. How are you doing, 
Colin? Just visited your live before going to work. Uh, dude, I’m doing good. Good to see 
you. Thanks for coming back. 200 lemon watching,   guys. Love it. Dawn, banana and crepe this morning 
for breakfast. Yeah, Dawn. I wolf down a banana. Uh, peanut butter on bread, two cups of coffee. 
Hoping there’s a third up there left for me. Still rolling through here, guys. I I don’t think 
my commercials are French, but So, there is a chasing group now. Nelson Olivea and this guy. 
Oh, he was in the breakaway that one day. Thomas Gashinard for Totile Energies. Guys, lots of these 
small teams need to get to the front. Jacco Alula, Unoex, Astana. Astana hasn’t done anything 
this tour yet. Uh, now’s time. This rider here, he’s 170th. probably the last place rider on 
the road right now. Uh, speaking of which, let’s do that next ranking. Let’s see how many 
people are left in the tour right now. Uh, Virture still back there. 172nd. Uh, sent men’s 
Martinsike. There he is. David Val Ballerina right there. Where did Fedorov go? Fedorov 
has moved up. He was last a few days ago. Stage uh, category 4 climb coming 
up. I don’t think there’ll be much   battle for this. Lenny Martinez has 
enough points to hold on to it today. Uh, okay. Got a guy here, uh, XTN2. Hi guys. Can 
someone tell me when the race race is already on, dude? The race is on. Jump into the chat. Tell 
us who you’re cheering for and where are you   from? Steven Cycles. Good to see you, Stephen. 
Uh, bike terrace saying, “Uh, totally awesome idea. Hope it runs smoothly.” Yeah, maybe they had 
a little bit of a glitch this morning. They’ve got   to pull the data from the tour to France somehow 
uh from the transponders somehow the location of I was told guys and remember I’ve been just told 
a little bit about it and I hate to kind of talk for other people. So, uh I was told it won’t be 
every individual rider. Maybe that’s changed, maybe it’s the same, but it’s going to be 
groups for sure. So when there’s switchbacks, I can pop from group to group on the switchbacks. 
This is basically what I’ve done with my channel for two and a half years. Uh with Bike Terra being 
like the latest app to come along. It has a lot of really good pluses about it. Uh so like this 
route today, people would say, well, how would how do I get the GPX file call? I’m not a techie. 
Neither am I. Steven Cycles who just commented he did a ride in Scotland after a bike tour that 
he was uh part of that he was a a leader of of uh VIPs folks uh real VIPs. Uh he sent me a GPX 
file through Discord. So he just attached a file. I downloaded to my PC. Uh I went into Berra and 
as a non-paying user I think you can upload one one at a time. You can have one active. Uh I 
just click the button. I’m like okay how do I do this? I don’t know. I’m not a techie. I’m good 
at software, but I’m not a techie. And I clicked the button, uploaded. 2 minutes later, my route 
was fully created, ready to ride. Uh the same map that Steven Cycles had written in Scotland. 
So today’s route, what you could do, a lot of the pros are on Straa. Sometimes they don’t show 
their data, sometimes they will. You would go find today’s route somewhere on Strava and download 
the GPX file. It’s right there. the activity. It’ll just say download GPX. It’s a small tiny 
file. You can plug it in wherever you want. It could be a useful training tool. Uh I want to see 
here, guys. Still our threeman breakaway. They’re now out to 45 seconds. And I want to take a 
look over here quickly. Get all caught up. Get as close to the front as can. Uh guys, I 
am seeing a little break here off the front of the pelaton here. I’m not sure how delayed 
we are here. 36. Uh, okay. So, this is a couple of minutes back. Anyways, this might have been 
a group that the front. It looks like B rain’s   going off the front here, chasing. Just going 
to see how the Pelon reacts. See if this is actually a break. Trying to jump across. Uh, it 
looks like two solo riders trying to get across here. Not showing up. So, I’m sure they’ve been 
absorbed by now. Yeah, they’re trying to get off   the front. They’re just doing a little push on the 
front, seeing how the Pelaton reacts. Eventually, the Pelon will give up. Uh they’ll control it as 
long as they can. And I’m going to start looking over here a little bit more to see who’s doing 
most of the work on the fronts. Watch out for the road furniture. Oh, some guys took the terrible 
way around there. Guys are bunny hopping the road   furniture. Uh a quick counter. That looks like a 
picnic rider going off the front here. And again, this is delayed. So, this has all been caught 
by now. Uh we’ll see actually who it was. Okay, so first climb of the day. Uh Yonas Mororrow 
Schmidt and Davidid Ballerini are on the ascent of the Kote Castell Lenode Estraons. We’ll 
just leave it there. I was thinking of uh Oh, what’s that movie with all the bridesmaids in it? 
It’s actually called Bridesmaids when she uh sings   her Spanish song. Yeah. So those were the count 
those were the attackers. Oh, that was the gash in our group trying to go across. It’s going to 
just kind of hover like this for a little while, I think. Out to a minute 02 right now, actually. 
20 degrees. Let’s hit the chat here, guys. Uh, I’ll put the live tracking back on here. 
Actually, you know what I should do, too, is give you a little bit of a route preview. 
I know we looked at the the setup of it. Uh, right here. Let’s look at the parkour. Take 
a look on the map, too. Probably as we spin around when we when we’ve completed our clockwise 
loop, you’re probably going to see the Pyrenees   in the background. So, very flat through here, 
just small little bumps. We’ve moved away from the massive central, but out in the background 
there, you can already see the Pyrenees lurking. The Pyrenees are lurking right back there. We’re 
swinging back north now away from the Pyrenees. So, the Pyrenees is the mountain chain that 
splits France uh and Spain with Andor just wedged right in between them all. So, that’s our 
route today, folks. The Pyrenees are just off the screen here in the bottom lefthand corner. Uh 
we’re going to have a few brutal days over there. Some writers are going to see their dreams come 
true. Others are going to see it all fall apart. Stay. I’m really interested in the uh the 
time trial front of the Pelaton looking very aggressive. Uh strung out 20 riders long. And 
right now I think every jersey is a different color right now. Every team has probably 
been lectured by their DS’s. You know the   motivational talks. Guys, we need to be in the 
front. Guys, we need to be in the front. We need to get something out of this. EF’s probably 
the only team that hasn’t been screamed at. There’s a lot of teams here that 
haven’t done anything yet at this tour,   and that’s normal. That’s the sad reality. Not 
everyone gets to win. Okay, catching up here, guys. So, yeah, I’m really looking 
forward to the doing that tomorrow. Uh, dude, uh, he’s asking, can you watch on 
YouTube? You could probably watch it on YouTube,   but it’s actually copyright uh, protected, so, you 
know, probably don’t do that, but it’s up to you. Uh, Peacock. I don’t remember the other services, 
but not on YouTube because of copyright. Yeah,   it it gets copyright struck so fast. Like, guys, 
I’ve already been hit by a copyright jingle. Uh, so it’s I have to make sure my volume is down 
because I don’t know what’s going to show. It   was in a video. I’ve said this before. It was in 
a highlight video that the tour to France is like, “Yeah, please share this.” But there was a 
tiny little jingle in there that shut her down. Steven Cycles asked uh Colin if he has the 
Ziftcog. Ziftcog is some technology. It’s a   mechanical device with a clicker that allows you 
to convert uh your bike basically into a one-speed and it provides virtual shifting. So, you can take 
an old bike, you could take grandma’s bike that’s a 3-speed and all of a sudden make your bike a 
24-speed. So smart. I don’t own it. Steven Cycles just got it yesterday, I believe. Uh Sai Bradley 
here. Hey, Sai. Good to see you, dude. Sai, you got to help me out, man. I can’t get back back 
on my whoosh right now. Uh, so Sai Bradley here, guys. He’s over at my whoosh. Sorry. And I’m 
going to correct myself right now because Sai,   I do this all the time to you. Uh, it’s Sai 
Bradley. Sai Bradley. Uh, I guess Sai would be well, he hosts the podcast uh, Inside the Ride 
over at my whoosh with Matt Smithson. And uh I think he does a lot of the coaches Sai does do a 
coaches training ride and uh I guess he’s probably like a social product manager, something like 
that. So throw something in there. He’s saying, “Hey Colin, great to see you with the coverage.” 
Yeah, Sai dude. I’ll be back on my whoosh when I   can. Uh I’m one of those guys that got stuck on 
the outside during an update a month and a half ago and there’s all this command DOSs this that 
and the next thing. I know there’s a huge update now. I’m thinking I’m just going to uninstall 
everything and start over. I hope that fixes it   for me. Uh otherwise, I love my whoosh. Awesome 
graphics. Uh Colin has the black cog that comes with the Zift ride. I do have the Zift Cog for a 
second trainer, but don’t have the second trainer   yet. Okay, Don. Yep. Simon Yates in top form. 
Adam Yates not looking good at all. Twins. Uh, so we’ve got the Yates, the Yates Bros, the Yates 
dudes on two separate teams, the two top teams at the Tur of France. Vizma got the winner. Uh, 
Adam Yates is just not on form right now. Simon Yates proved it at the JRO by winning stage 20 of 
the Jirro just this year. Uh, just keeping an eye here. I’m just watching the guys climb the Pelaton 
up the uh, the first climb of the day, guys. So, here we are. 33 second lead for our front 
group. And we do have a Van Art group here for guys. Team Simmons on the front. Uh Vanart, 
Yasper Stoven, Aaron Buru, Matteo Trenton’s finally getting up here, folks. Costume we saw 
this week. Uh I think this is Brett Van Moore. Brent Van Moore, Fred Wright. Is it Fred? It 
is Fred. And Mattie Mahoric. I love this dude right here. He’s so awesome. Uh glad to see he’s 
finally getting out. This is his kind of a day, too. His kind of a day. So, yeah. Sai, 
awesome you stopped in here, man. Uh, guys, we now have 250 people watching on what I expected 
to be a very slow day. Tour to France Junkies, unite. Here we go, folks. It’s bang bang 
time over at Inside Cycling World. Uh, Ian saying we’ll have to get a meeting up on 
Zip. I’m all for it. Steven Cycles will be in   uh guaranteed as well. I ride with Steven Cycles. 
I don’t want to say quite a bit, but some of my funnest rides have been with Stephen Cycles. We’ve 
done a lot of hill climbs together. If you dig   into my channel a bit, you’ll find things where 
it’s just me and Steven Cycles riding, taking on uh I can’t I think we did the Le together up in 
the Kernorms. Uh we did the Karenwell up in the Kernorms. We did the call to term together. 
That one half killed me. Uh not in shape for it. As I make tons of videos and do more stuff 
like this, I constantly get more out of shape. So yeah, Ian Holmes, we will get a Zift uh meet 
up going. Sylvia Valentino here cheering on Vout. Yeah, he is in that break uh chase group right now 
of 10 riders. 10 strong riders, too. Imagine being in a group with Quinn Simmons and Vout. Throw in 
Matteo Trenton here. All work beasts and Matty Mahoric. These guys all want to get up to that 
front three. Make it a coalition of 13 riders. Uh, Don Singh, I hope Pavl Civikov, okay guys, 
my uh this likes to jump around a bit on me. I hope Pavikov on Yui has recovered from whatever 
was alien on stage 10. Yeah, me too because he’s   going to have to step up and try to help Tatty 
out a little bit. Good point here, Dawn, because that’s what I’m thinking here. I think Vizma has 
a good chance of isolating Tatty very easily this year. And I think there’s other people in the 
top 10 that want to isolate him as well. Uh, we know several years ago, I believe it was when 
Yonas got his first win, Roick was there to help, Sepoose was there, uh, Yonas to get Tatty isolated 
and Tatty cracked. He did. He’s not invincible, folks. He wasn’t back then anyways. Imagine 
if Roger and Florian Lippy would say, “Hey, man. We want to help out. We’re going to help out 
Vizma to crack Tatty so we can vault our Red Bull riders closer to the top. I can easily see that 
happening. If if you’re if you’re in the top 10, that would be the smartest thing you can do. 
That’s the smartest strategy you can have. Uh okay, let’s go here. Uh Sai Braidley is saying 
again, just a heads up, we got an interview podcast released this week with uh Jiron. I 
think that’s how you’d say that. Swartwart, head of Performance U. Okay, sorry. I’ll be 
checking that out. I listen to every podcast. Uh, I haven’t been on my whoosh quite a while 
only because I can’t get on right now. So,   I got to get working on that, too. Robert here. 
Uh, he’s saying free. I guess he’s asking which apps are free. It’s the monthly fee that keeps 
him away from most of those trainers. Dude, uh,   you can ride my whoosh absolutely for free. So, 
okay. Here’s the rundown. You can ride. Okay, the majority of them are a a paid subscription. 
They all offer some free component though. Okay, so I’m going to do a quick rundown. Zift, the 
biggest pay structure. You do pay monthly, but you could ride 25 km free per month. So, you pick and 
choose what you want to ride. This is if you want   to trial them all and pick the one that you want. 
And then obviously, if you like the platform, you should contribute to it. That’s how I look at it. 
Uh, Ruvie, same thing. Paid subscription, but they do offer 20 kilometers free per month. Hey guys, 
you could ride the Hodiccom route tomorrow if you   really wanted to for free on Ruvie. It’s there. 
Uh, it’s also on Zift right now, too. Uh, so you could pick any of those routes. You just got to 
stay under that monthly mileage. uh by terra free a selection of routes that they provide probably 
I don’t want to say they have the most real world routes right now but I’m sure they theoretically 
they do because you can create real the one that me and Steven Cycles created uh yeah probably 
I don’t know if anyone’s ridden it but it was a road he sent me it’s a 42 km route on the western 
flanks of the kernorms I would imagine mention uh I created it. It’s there. It was that simple. 
Now, training peaks virtual paid. I don’t know what they offer free per month. They probably have 
something for a paid one. And then my whoosh is   100% absolutely free. So, you can run it whenever 
you want. I would suggest, and this is just my suggestion, and I know size here, uh run it on 
the best quality machine you can. Uh because it is graphics intensive. It looks fantastic. Some of 
my videos I’ll see people commenting, “Hey, Colin, my video doesn’t look as good as yours.” That’s 
because you’re not running it on a PC. You’re   not running it on a gaming computer that has an 
in uh you know, an independent graphics card. Uh it is graphics intensive. So, my whoosh, you 
don’t have to pay a thing to ride it. So, Robert, go check that one out. Colin quotes, it’s worth it 
for me. That’s what I say, too. Uh, I subscribe to both Ruby and Zift. I pay for both. What does 
that cost me? 50 bucks a month. Less than a gym membership. It’s definitely less than Pelaton 
still, which whatever. Uh, I want the real cycling uh, simulation. We got Tequila here again. What’s 
greetings from France? Bonjour. Robert saying 17. Yeah, I have no idea. I think I think 
a thousand Swiss Franks is a good chunk   of cash. Joey Jojo saying, “Hit the like 
button, guys. It is her birthday, so please give her a special like here today. 273 people 
watching right now.” Floyd Landis was great, dude. He was I love that tour to France. Oscar 
Pereero, uh, Cadel Evans was there. Carlos Sastra. It was just crazy that stage how he decimated the 
entire Pelaton at the Tour to France after losing the jersey the day before by and he was behind by 
15 or 20 minutes. Something crazy like that. Uh, okay. Colin saying race score is 650ish right 
now. Okay, nice Colin. Yep, there we go. Uh,000 Swiss Franks is $1,243 from Tony C there. Uh, 
and then Tequila is saying it’s 83. Either way, it’s a good chunk of money for handing 
your rider a gel at the wrong time. Uh, yeah, Dawn saying, “I think they lost 11.”   I think you’re right. I think we’re 
down to about 170 riders right now. Yeah, the American riders looking good, guys. 
Wow, this is so awesome to see here. Really   cool to see the pink jerseys on the front 
as they do hold the yellow jersey. They are expected to do the work on the front, 
guys. Uh, let’s just take a little look   here. Three riders still in front. Our original 
breakaway. The Chasing Group fell apart again, I believe. Yeah, they’ve been absorbed. We 
have one solo rider from Total Energy still   trying to get up there to them. They’re not 
willing to let Vout get away. Vout, Maddie, uh, Matteo Trenton. They won’t let those guys get 
away. So, they’ve been pulled back already, guys. Okay. Uh, Vocalon. Ah, okay. So, Vocalon was trying to get up 
to two, but he’s been pulled back now. So,   uh, the other rider from Total Energies went 
solo up ahead. Now, I don’t think they’ll want to let Valon get away either. Team EF’s job now 
is to hold this jersey as long as they can. Uh, hold it. They know they’re going to lose it. 
Uh, the team isn’t strong enough to protect it all the way. I’d love to see it though. Uh 
remember back in their the mid 2000s I think it was. Uh Thomas Vogler, what was the team name? 
Europe car. I think they’re a car rental agency over in Europe. Uh I think he held it for like 
nine or 10 stages when no one expected him to. Uh Donsson here calling you need a Zift and bike 
terror sponsorship. Uh I would gladly take a bike terror sponsorship. Um, Zift, they Yeah, Zift 
is great. They’re guys, they’re all great. Just They’re all riding bikes. That’s the beauty of it. 
Okay, so it looks like 56% of the people right now are saying that there should be a salary cap. 
I thought that number would have been higher,   but like someone said earlier, if you have a 
salary cap, it breeds mediocrity. And I can see that, too. So, someone else had a really good 
idea, and I thought about this again yesterday, probably when I was like around in the yard. Uh 
he said and I think he was the one that said it.   No salary cap. Okay. Uh push hard here guys. 
Short turners. We got to close this. This is EF talking right now. They do not want this 
breakaway getting out there. They don’t want   the second group going on the road which is now 
I think it’s just one rider and actually it’s two riders right now. It’s uh Marco Holler. We’ve 
seen him before for tutor and Datre. Delatree, Alexandre from Total Energies. So, EF being 
very attentive on the front here, protecting the yellow jersey. Alpas and Dcoin following 
them. Four, five riders. And it looks like good chunk of three riders from Visma. Actually, 
I’m seeing more Tudtor riders coming up, too. So, Tutor wants to get active. Tutor’s a team that 
needs to be careful this year of UCI points. Uh, remember they’re all fighting to get that World 
Tour license. World Tour license is a guaranteed invite to all the World Tour races. Uh, if you 
don’t have that license and you’ve got a fantastic rider like Tom Pitcock, you don’t get to go to the 
race. So, okay. Still catching up here, guys. Uh, yeah, Dom, when you say that, you say Zift and 
Bike Terra. Right now, I’d be leaning towards bike terror because these guys communicate with me. Ah, 
check this out here. The total energies guy and oh, I wonder who that was there 
giving a nice push to the total   rider. He actually gave him a hand push like 
they would do in track cycling to go for it, dude. Just go for it. I’m I 
wasn’t sure who gave him the push. Uh, maybe that was Was that Vocalon? Is that 
who they’re talking about? That might have been   Vocalon. So again guys, I’m a little bit delayed 
here. So there is two riders in this group here now. Uh Pete Courtney in the mix as mentioned on 
Monday. I really appreciate the commentary as it keeps me updated my desk. I also appreciate 
the insight on rides, apps, etc. Just Pete,   thank you so much, dude. Guys, if you when I get 
time, I’m going to do a little I was telling Jojo, uh there’s five major platforms. Zift, Ruby, 
my whoosh, TPV, that’s training peaks virtual, and Bike Terra. Bike Terra is easily in those 
five. They all offer great value. Some are free, some are paid. Uh, they all offer different 
things, but it’s still all cycling. If you want to get cycling inside safely, just let me know 
and drop a comment here that you want to see a video about it. I thought what I’d do, I’m kind 
of bad for making long videos. People tell me, “Oh, Colin, here’s my advice to you. You should 
keep your vid videos at roughly 18 minutes.” No,   not doing it. Not doing it. Uh, I want to give 
you as much information as I possibly can. So, my I have a ton of tutorial videos on Ruby. 
I did a My Rouch review. Uh, I probably did a Bera one. Yeah, I did do a Ber one, but I was 
going to do more of a compressed one. You know, I’m going to do a half hour video, five minutes on 
each of the five major platforms. five minutes of   the at the end me just rambling on about nothing. 
Uh, and then you can have a look at all of them. I’ll show them all on screen. Obviously, I can’t 
until I get my whoosh up and running. Again,   it does work for other people. It’s just me right 
now. So, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that it’s that hard to get running. Uh, then you could 
have a look at all of them. Then you’re free to go try them all out. Remember, you can try 
them all without paying for anything at first.   Find the one you like and then support it. uh 
these things don’t get developed for free. So Pete uh thanks for your comments and thank 
you so much for subscribing. So we do right now still have our three liter break consisting 
of Berini Abraham Sim and Mororrow Schmidt. Two riders chasing Marco Hower and Alexandre Datree. 
Yeah, that’s one I’m just going to ruin today. How far are we here, guys?   See, we’re gradually waking our way way 
behind broom wagon right behind them here. I do want to take a look at something over here 
quickly. Uh, no, we got to get out of full screen. Okay, let me get caught up here. 
Okay. Yeah, so we’re seeing him.   We know he’s jumping across right now. 
Uh, I’ll finish up with the chat here. question, Don. Good question here, Don. So, 
is there a rear wheel trainer connection to a   computer or tablet or is the holes with bike 
setup? Dude, you start out with just a wheel on trainer. So, wheel on trainer means you take 
your bike and plon it on and there’ll be like a little resistance wheel back there. There’ll be 
a tiny little roller. And they’ve gotten better.   It basically looks a wheelon trainer. looks 
like an all old school turbo trainer. Uh or I remember them being called wind load trainers. 
They were loud. Uh I noticed what’s funny to me is a lot of people from the UK still call them 
turbos even though they’re riding fully smart   trainers. They still call it a turbo. Uh sure, 
why not? That’s a smart trainer. You get a wheel on smart trainer. You install the app on your 
PC, your phone, your Apple TV. It’s compatible with virtually everything and they all do this. 
Uh the software talks to your trainer through a Bluetooth or Ant Plus setup. Most people just use 
Bluetooth. ANT Plus can handle more connections at once. Uh ANT Plus has very limited range. So, 
usually most people have an ANT plus dongle. Bluetooth. I just use Bluetooth. Okay. And then 
your output is recorded by the trainer. It feels the resistance you’re pushing against. uh it can 
calculate your revolutions. It sends that data to the software and it moves you along the course. 
So wheelon trainer is kind of your first step. Uh you don’t need the Zift bike. So you should go 
like I was out at the bike shop yesterday. I need some oil for my chain. Uh I’m going to switch 
switch to waxed here on my next chain change. Uh so they’re going to do a hot wax for me there. 
And then there’s a top up wax that you just I was holding it going, “This doesn’t look like oil to 
me. What is this?” So the young guy TJ who runs the bike shop there, Cal Cycle, out in the country 
here, the craziest bike shop you’ve ever been to,   it’s in an old chicken barn and the bike shop just 
goes forever and forever and forever. Uh I swear the building’s over 200 feet long, so it just 
keeps going back. Uh yeah, TJ says, he goes, “Let me know what chain you need, what your gears are 
on your bike right now.” He goes, “I’ll do the hot   wax treatment in the back for you.” He says, “Then 
he grabbed the stuff I was looking at.” He goes, “This is what you top it up with.” So guys, I’m 
not very mechanical. I don’t want to take my chain off and my cassette off. I need Steven Cycles here 
for that. Uh he’s quite the mechanic. And uh you just top it up. Then you’ve got like this super 
super fast uh wax lube on your bike. So yeah, Don, you can go wheel on, you can go wheel off, 
you take your back wheel off, wheel off. trainers are uh more accurate, offer more resistance. 
Uh a wheelon trainer, you could if you’ve got a good sprint, you can you can overpower it 
very easy. Uh it may only give you 900 watts, 1,000 watts of resistance. If you’ve got a 1500 
watt sprint, you’re wasting your energy. So, wheelon trainer, more accurate, more expensive. Uh 
Zift bike is kind of like the all-in-one package. Uh, okay. So, Colin see the the trainers for the 
rear wheel and it’s Bluetooth to your computer,   your phone, tablet. Yep, perfect. Just what 
I said. Uh, poll is almost even salary caps definitely still in the undecided pill. 
Yeah, that’s what I’m seeing too. 57%. Uh, Don saying here, Peacock for USA and 
Eurovision for European viewing of the tour. Uh, Flow Bikes is the only way I can legally watch 
it in Canada. That’s how I’m doing it. Uh, and I think for me, you know, converted from US 
dollars to Canadian, I think it ends up being   like $214 for the year. I’m like, “Oh, come on.” 
Like what, less than, is it 16 or $17 Canadian per month? Something like that. $18 a month. 
Uh, so it’s kind of a primo subscription, but you get everything. Riders going through the feed 
zone here. Uh, showing that from the past there.   Just want to catch up here, guys. Uh, things are 
changing. We got our three up front. We now have five in that break. The Pelaton is now allowing 
some of them to go. We are a good 50 kilometers into the stage now. I believe uh with 111 still to 
go. I think this is around 165 km stage. So let’s take a look here. Uh here’s our five in the break. 
Dathlon rider bron uh tron another dathlon totel energy twod dooror total energies five teams that 
need to get something going this tour uh let’s take a look back here dathlon a2r are not happy 
with the break as the pace decreases in the bunch two riders from dathlon set off so they’re going 
after that breakaway now uh 1437 here guys okay so was that that long ago. I’m at 640. Okay, so that 
was four minutes ago. Gotcha. Uh we were 40 km. Yeah. So we’re probably we’re well over 40 km into 
the stage now. Uh I know this wasn’t the longest stage. Giving the guys an easy day after the rest 
day here so that they can prepare for the hotcom tomorrow. That’s going to be a fantastic stage. 
Do not miss that one. Do not miss it. Uh Robert saying, “Thank you for breakdown on trainer apps.” 
Yeah, dude. Robert, I will make a video for that. Uh, I’ve had some people requesting me to to do 
some commentary over on Zift for them, which I I   really want to, but uh I just got to see how I’m 
going to fit everything in the Zift. Uh, I love doing the Zift uh team time trials on Thursdays, 
but with this going on, uh, I’m supposed to be doing coursework for uh, pre-licicensing course 
work for a program I’m working on. I haven’t touched it in 10 days. So, that’s all on hold, 
guys. all on hold just waiting for NBC to give me a shout and say, “Dude, we need you to come 
across. You can work from home.” Uh, Robert’s   asking, “What I remember about that Floyd stage is 
the water. Dude was drinking mass amounts of water and dumping on his head. Kept the water moto next 
to him. Kept grabbing bottles.” Dude, I’m see if I can remember that. It’s hard going back to watch 
it because I just found a random stream yesterday.   Uh, this stuff’s so old. I don’t think they 
obviously you can view it. Uh it’s the that old VHS coverage. Uh it’s so grainy in places. Yeah, 
I’m showing showing me a replay now of the two Dathlon riders getting up front. Their directors 
probably screaming in their ears. Let’s go, boys.   Let’s go. Come on. Uh the Totel Energy Rider went 
with them. That Totel Energy Riders would be H. Okay. Well, looks like he’s just fallen out. I’m 
seeing one rider left behind. Oo. So, a little bit of a split here. I want to get take a look at the 
map now and see how these splits are forming. We   got multiple groups going on. Here’s our three-man 
breakaway. We’ve got two chasing groups here. They need to get back together. It’s changing all 
the time. Went from four riders up to five with the Decathlon riders now at the front. Yeah, guys, 
earn your money. Earn your money. You need to earn UCI points. Uh, four riders back here. So, it is a 
nine nine riders in the front group. Essentially, they are only separated by 11 seconds. If 
I was these five, I’d wait for these four. Uh, Murice here, Connor Swift, Muleberger, Tomas. 
They need some more firepower up here. Like, where’s uh Maddie when you need him? Where’s 
Matteo Trenton? They got pulled back earlier. It’s going to be a wild one, folks. Going to be a 
wild sprint. Bingham needs to get there for that   sprint. Uh, while we’re here, let’s take a rank a 
look at the rankings of the green jersey. Do that. I know I’m going to be blown out of the water 
here with the lighting now. Oh, after stage 10, green general ranking, Jonathan Milan 227 points, 
Pogy still at 163, uh, Bingham Germine at 151, and Tim Merley at 150. So, 20 points on 
tap at the uh, intermediate point there. And while we’re out of here, too. I’m 
going to do this, we’re going to look at the points that are available for today. 
Come to the sporting stakes here. You can see here 20 points at first. What do we got 
at the end? 50 points at the end. Again,   so there’s 70 points on tap today. Uh if you can 
get both of them, I think Bingham needs to start working on these better. Uh because that’s how 
Jonathan’s got a good chunk of his points. He keeps winning all the intermediates and then 
placing high on these ones or winning them. Okay, 46 seconds. The leaders out front. 
Three riders going all out. Aana, Unoax, and JCO getting a ton of TV time today, folks. 
Mororrow Schmidt does not ride in the purple jersey. He rides in his Swiss jersey here. Jaco 
on the sides. Saw him get asked yesterday. So, you don’t like purple? Nah, he wants 
to ride in his national jersey. Uh,   45 seconds further back. Virture day one 
crash with Ben. Oh, I think Ben Tomas is nearby. I think Ben Tomas is in the second group. 
He caused him to crash. Total accident. But let’s have a quick look. I thought I saw his name. 
Yeah, there he is right there. This guy had   the first polka dot jersey of the tour uh on the 
sprint up to the top of the climb. I think it was a cat four climb. Maybe it was a cat three. 
uh his back wheel slipped out on the cobbles, kind of slid out, took himself and Bircher 
down in a pretty hard looking crash. Um yeah, so Robert, if you want to get into inside 
cycling, it’s safe, it’s easy, it’s convenient, uh probably make you spend less money than riding 
outside. Okay, I think I need to shut Okay, I want to keep that smaller. Oh, I didn’t 
want to do that. Just lost my chat here,   guys. We can end that poll for now. Anyone 
else has got another poll suggestion, just let me know. Yeah. So, I’m going to 
finish watching that one today, Robert. Yeah, it was so crazy because he lost so much time the 
stage before and then he just basically wakes   up. He had a really good motivational talk the 
night before. Let’s just leave it at that. And uh [Laughter] he woke up the next day and said, 
“Whoever’s left in the tour to France, I’m just going to beat everyone. No one could touch me.” Uh 
Brett, I don’t know if this was discussed already, but Ben Healey’s yellow Canadale is gorgeous. 
Also, I’m a fan that loves full yellow. Yeah, me too, man. I love it. Uh let’s go to default 
view, maybe. Okay. Uh oh. I don’t like that. No, that’s okay. Yeah, maybe that’s better for me. I’m 
trying to mini player. We don’t want that. Theater mode. Full screen. We don’t want that. Sorry, 
guys. I’m just messing around here a little bit with my screen view. Uh scene where I can see 
you guys. Okay, open that panel in the side. Yeah, once they have a little look at him. 
Yeah, Ben looks great in the yellow jersey.   Uh I saw some videos yesterday him hanging 
out with the team. That team is so stoked right now with the yellow jersey. Uh definitely 
a smaller budget team. So so good to see it. Yeah, exactly. Robert Floyd’s motivational 
talks. I you know what that’s the that’s the way it was back then. That’s how it 
happened. That’s the way it went down. Uh, sometimes though it is hard for me to look back 
and watch some of them. It’s like other expros,   I’m not going to mention names, other ex-p 
pros reviewing stages in the past talking about what was going on when they were all 
juiced like as if they weren’t. Uh, guys, front of the Pelaton now looking pretty crazy. And 
there’s just a string of riders out the back here. Everyone’s driving on the front. I’m sure there’s 
lots of radio action going on here right now. So, guys, get to the front. Get to the front. Get in 
the brakes. They They only have so many days to do it. Uh, Ortiggera is here. What do you think about 
the incoming diabolical TT? Who do you think will shine? Dude, I am so excited about the stage. I 
hope everyone’s pumped. Guys, I’ve said before, too, sometimes people don’t think the time trials 
are cool. I get it. I can see it. It’s not a big sprint. It’s not they’re not staring at each 
other going they’re not doing the Lance look   which was never the Lance look. He said that 
in his book. He said I was just looking back. It just got called the look. Um guess all 
the dynamics of the pack normally going on. Thank you for the coffee everyone. Uh and 
shout out to those that went above and beyond in the last one. I think it was uh I think 
it was our I forget his name now. He’s from   Oklahoma though. And of course, Cole Kane for 
contributing again. Dude, really excited about the TT again. It’s 10.9 kilometers and guys, 
I’ve stared at it a lot. I think it’s 650 m in climbing. Uh the first 3 kilometers are 
slightly up, like probably 1% up, 1.2% up, and a bit of downhill. So, they start down in the 
valley system and they run along the river system. They take a hard 180°ree turn to the right and 
they start climbing. So all the climb is in the last 8 kilometers. So basically they’re going to 
climb 8 km at 8% gradient to cover that to get all that elevation gain. Uh Brett saying I would love 
to see the bike terror live stage thing. Please uh do the video. We’ll watch it. Dude, I’m gonna 
do it. Uh like I said, I’m a true believer in you. I don’t want to say you help me, you help karma, 
right? I’ve done so many videos for Ruby. Uh I’ve done a ton of videos for other platforms and I 
really haven’t had a lot of interaction. And maybe   that’s me expecting too much, but when you’re the 
only person making videos for said applications, uh you think I would have thought they would have 
reached out to me a little bit more. So anyways,   the bike terra guys, like when I did my 
one YouTube video, I was kind of like, I wonder just kind of what I’m doing. I was just 
rambling to myself, commentating on a race, trying   to make it fun. Uh, trying to let the dudes that 
are racing relive it later. Some guys don’t even know about my videos. So, that’s why it’s great 
if you like them. We got 241 people here now, guys. Uh, like I said earlier, I asked a bunch of 
questions and I think it was Anslo, that’s his one of his profiles. I don’t really know what his name 
is. Uh, I think he’s in Europe. He answered point by point, every single one. I’ve had Matt, he’s 
the other developer, reach out to me directly. Uh, hey Colin, you’re doing a great job. We love it. 
I’m going to help you dudes out when I can. I’m going to show this stuff off. So, we will be 
doing that tomorrow. I had it all planned for   today. It’s actually sitting live and active right 
now uh on my PC as another event. So dude, yeah, Ortiggeras, I am so looking forward to stage 
uh 12, the 13. Stage 13 on Friday. That’s the mountain hill climb up to Paraguds. Uh River 
Valley straight up. I’m still thinking Remco is going to win it. I honestly am. Uh I think 
Remco has to win it. Has to win it. I did take a look back at the stage where uh Yonas kind of 
blew Tatty out of the water a couple years ago. um I think in 2023 now it was a longer stage. I 
think it was 24 km long. 22.4 23 km and it had two bumps. It had a bump at the beginning and a 
bump at the end. So obviously all the climbing is not the same. Two bumps about the same amount of 
climbing though over the whole distance. So it’s I I need to get a reference as to how much climbing 
was in the first one. Let’s say they were both 650 m. I don’t think all the climbing in the first 
one was in the two bumps. I think there was some extra climbing. So, this one’s definitely harder. 
But in that time trial in I believe it was 2023, uh Yonas took 1 minute and 38 seconds away 
from Daddy. He’ll climb time trial. So, guys, am I trying to hype it up? Am I trying to 
cause drama? Tiny bit. I’ll be honest. Uh, but I don’t think you can write Yonas off. I know 
Tatty wins everything. Tatty, Tatty, Tatty, Tatty, Tatty. Uh, did you see at the end of stage 10 when 
Tatty attacked at least twice, he kicked as hard as he possibly could and there wasn’t a wheels 
gap to Yonas. So, Yonas has been doing something different this year. And I saw a video a while ago 
that um he’d been working on his explosiveness, you know, doing these I think it showed like 
1100 watt uh sprint attacks out of Yonas, which is a lot of watts per kilo for him. Uh 
okay, going to jump back to the chat here, guys. Uh let’s just take a quick look here. We have just 
under 100 kilometers remaining. Three riders still   up front. They’ve been in the lead the whole way. 
They’ve been in the lead now for about 55 56 km. Jumping back here to group verse the guy that 
took the big tumble day one. Marco brought Tron Alexandre here from total energies and C Clemo 
birthday for the Kathlon. Further jumping back to the uh they’re calling this the to the Thomas 
group to Bentoma group. Uh they’re actually showing a little clip of him here right now. Uh we 
got four riders here. Then we’re going to bounce back 17 seconds to the Pelon. So, the Pelaton’s 
keeping this one really close today. Sprinters are probably doing some work at the front, too. It’s 
just a mish mash of riders at the front, though,   to be honest. Uh, it’s constantly changing. EF’s 
up there a lot, but there’s just a constant chunk of riders in there. Got a crazy motorbiker riding 
along through the fields beside him. He’s doing a   wheelie all the way on his dirt bike. Love it. 
Absolutely love it. Uh they’re showing a replay here of Ben Tomas going on the attack on uh stage 
one. Uh yeah, so Ortaras really looking forward to that stage. Uh Brett’s saying he wants to see the 
bike terror video. Dude, Brett, watch it. Uh I’m hoping some of you that maybe don’t ride bikes, 
you’ll start to ride bikes. Uh I told you before, I basically quit riding bikes in 97. There 
was no inside riding apps to use. Uh I had a million flats. I was late for work, my first real 
professional job out of university, I just parked my bike and left it. And then out of the blue, 
uh, when I met Joey, we watched the tour a lot. And then she just kind of looked at me a few years 
ago and said, “Well, why aren’t you riding a bike?   You you watch it every day.” So, I think I did I 
go buy an old mountain bike? Yeah, I think I went and bought like just a cheapo mountain bike. No, 
I had it laying around. I So, I would have done a few rides. I think I had a mountain bike just 
to to around on. I had to take it to Cal Cycle.   The shock was blown out, rusted in place. Took it 
in, spent as little on as I could. I love those guys. They’re like, “Dude, just go cheapo because, 
you know, you don’t want to dump a bunch of money   into this bike.” I’m like, “Yeah, you’re right. I 
didn’t.” And probably a couple months after that, I have my first road bike back. So, guys, if 
you’re interested, just dig into the channel a little bit or tell me what you want to see. I 
can I thought about one day doing taking another   camera and showing you my setup here. You can see 
what I do. Um, Nina Nina W, tomorrow uphill steep time trial. Come on, Roger. That will be two days 
from now. Uh, tomorrow is hoticcom. Uh, it’s the steep time trial is after that, I believe. I hope 
I don’t have that wrong. Yeah, tomorrow’s hotcom uh with first cat one and cat 3. And then Friday, 
July 18th is paraguds. that this is the time travel right here, guys. Oh, wow. Let’s Why don’t 
we zoom in on this quickly, guys? I’m so excited about the stage. See, you can see where we start 
in the small village of Ludenville at the bottom   of the valley. It’s going to snake along, 
take a hard right straight up the mountain. This could totally flip-flop everything. One good 
time trial. There’s over 653 m of climbing in that bump there. So you can see here this first 
chunk I’ve eliminated. I thought you know what   first three kilometers it’s basically flat. 
Uh then it just starts climbing all the way. So we’ll get out of that guys. Get out of that 
there quickly. Actually this is the quickest way to do it. Just jump back here. Okay guys, it’s 
starting to form up again. They’ve absorbed that   middle group. We’ve only got three riders out 
front. The front of the Pelton’s driving hard. Yeah, it’s just everyone’s up there. I’m seeing 
a couple pink riders, Groupupama, FDJ’s in the mix. Helicopter view, so having to look pretty 
close. Two door riders are up there as well. So, it’s just down to our three riders up front. 
They’re controlling this now. Thinking about   the sprint down the road, I believe. Uh Evan likes 
the TT. Uh the the team time trial is what I don’t understand how it fits in the race, dude. The team 
time trial used to be uh a big thing at the tour to Francis. Way back when they used to have a 
100 kilometer time trials for a whole team. Uh and I think on some of those they had reduced time 
losses so you could only lose so much. The tour evolves every year. They’re constantly evolving. 
So next year the team time trial is coming back.   Uh 2026 I think it’s on stage one. Uh the team 
time trials and the indiv individual time trials have been gradually shortened over the years just 
like the tour to France has. Uh tour to France’s in the old days were like 4500 kilometers plus. 
Now we’re at 3,300 km. The tour has gotten shorter and faster. Uh in the original Tour to France 
days, which I got to get that book downloaded, Joey Jojo, that’s going on my wish list. I’m 
really fascinated with like the marathons of the old days. They wanted it to they wanted to make 
it so that it was almost impossible to do. So, it just made when guys finished it even more of an 
accomplishment. Oh, Alison riding here with Vizma at the front. Wow. For a second there, I thought 
that was Yonas. So, this is a replay here. Riders trying to get across. Let’s just see what they’re 
saying here. And another move. Yeah, we’re seeing   it here. So, this was just one minute ago. Uh, 
Clement Russo launches a new move with Quinton Pashe for Group. I was saying there’s Groupama 
FDJ guys hanging out at the front. Vout’s there as well. Ah, yeah. Not Yonas’s Vout. The helmet threw 
me off a bit. I just saw some color on the side. I thought it was the Danish helmet from a distance. 
Uh, cuz Vout and Yonas both wear different helmets than the rest of the team. Pretty amazing that 
Vogue gets to wear that uh Red Bull helmet. Pretty strong sponsorship there. I think this is just 
going to keep happening all day. These three are   going to be allowed to dangle out front. Uh and 
the Pelaton’s going to keep pulling these brakes back. Everyone wants to break away to form, but 
if it hasn’t yet, it’s going to be pretty tough. Eventually, the Pelaton will relent. uh EF and 
the other guys can only cover so many breaks. Uh right now guys, it’s 25 seconds. They’re, you 
know, 3 400 meters up the road from these guys. Uh Brett’s talking to Evan. Totally agree. But I will 
say that it’s beautiful to watch the TTT, dude.   Brett, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. When you watch nine, 
okay, it used to be nine. Now it’s eight. When you watch eight riders just effort, it it look it 
looks effortless. Uh they are so well drilled, so well trained, each taking their turn. Uh the sound 
that’s when you hear all their wheels at once, there’s so so much carbon. Uh the wheels, it’s 
fantastic. I absolutely love a team time trial. Uh when teams are smooth. Thinking Posties back 
in the day. Yes. And uh and Sky. Yeah, they had a great time trial team. Yeah, it just showed how 
strong your team was. You may not have had a GC contender, but you could have a really welljelled 
team. Riders, another Dathlon rider trying to get off the front in the replay here. Just our three 
front 26 seconds, guys. Thanks for being here. Uh almost 300 people watching. We’ve been going 
for an hour and 40 minutes, guys. Let’s rock. Um, Hans here is saying, uh, you can show historical 
moments of cycling news whilst live streaming. I’m not sureing if he’s commenting that I 
should be doing that or I can do that. Yeah,   dude. I’m trying to show what I can as 
this as the stage goes on. If they give me little bunches of videos. Uh, in 
fact, why don’t we do that now? We’ll   just pop up here and see if they’ve got 
anything new for us here to show right now. The staging video. So like this is 
all from the last stage n live stage. Uh let’s see if we can show this 
or not. Yeah, we can’t show just   a little bit of race radio here guys. Al 
go. This is very early early on the stage today. This is the three rider race. So 
that’s Moro Schmidt up front there. Um, actually I need to get out of that now. I can’t 
get out of that. Okay, so I’m kind of stuck here, guys. Let’s get out of that. Close this and get 
back to my stage. So, Hounds looks like he’s a new uh commenter here today. Robert saying, 
“Seeing Quinn Simmons on TV again at the front of a chase group. I’m becoming a fan. 
Dude is a monster, dude.” Totally, dude. Uh,   I keep calling him Team Simmons. He’s done more 
work than anyone in the entire race this year. More work than anyone. Nina W, have you done Have 
you done the question? Will Ben Healey keep the yellow jersey today? Good one, Nina. We’re 
doing that. We’re doing this for Nenah. Uh,   guys, I want everyone commenting here. Start a 
poll. We do a poll. Will Ben keep the yellow. We’re going to start the poll right now. Should be fired up for you guys. And 
I’ve already said yes. I think Ben will easily keep the yellow today. I don’t 
think much is going to change in the   uh the GC. I think Tatty is going to try just 
stay safe. Remco will be staying safe today. Today’s not a day for them. Today’s a day for 
the breakaway or the sprinters. But uh yeah, really good poll. If you guys have any polls and 
you wanted me to throw them out there, guys, let’s   be interactive here. Uh that’s what this channel’s 
all about. There’s other people doing this. In fact, guys, I woke up early today. I saw someone 
that was actually on my channel a few days ago   doing exactly what I’m doing right now. So, I was 
kind of like, dude, okay, whatever. Do your thing. You do you. Um, Saturday is brutal. It’s going 
to be so fun. Okay, so yeah, Saturday is super ban. Saturday super Yeah, dude. It’s going to be 
brutal. Yeah, Nina. No, thank you. You don’t have to thank me. Thank you. Uh, Colonel RPG is here. 
Oh, 100%. So, I think I’m not sure if Colonel is saying that he’s it’s going to be 100% that Ben 
will keep it. Please uh just see the poll at the top guys there and just tag something in there. 
Fingers crossed to man. Yeah, definitely he’s   going to keep it. I can’t see how we would lose it 
today really. Uh let’s just jump out of here guys. See, I lost my stream. We’re okay. Uh so, 
well, Ben only has 29 seconds on Tatty, but it’s going to be such a high-speed finish. I 
highly doubt Tatty’s gonna go on a breakaway to gain 29 seconds back today knowing tomorrow he’ll 
probably easily beat Ben Healey by 20. Oh well, having said that, Ben Healey is a climber, guys. 
Ben Healey is a climber. Is Ben Healey a time trialist? I wouldn’t. Of course he is. Uh, is 
he a time trialist of Tatty’s level? No. Is he a climber of Tatty’s level? Very close. So, I could 
see Ben doing quite well tomorrow, too. Especially if he has the yellow jersey on his back. So, I 
could see him doing very well tomorrow. Guys, let’s take a look here again. Three riders up 
front, Moro Schmidt, Abraham Sim, and Davided   Ballerini being pursued now uh by Machu Burgo. 
Saw him a lot in one of the earlier stages and Fred Wright from Bering Victorious. Again, look at 
these teams. We’re not seeing Vizma riders. We’re not seeing UAE riders. actually looking over here 
on the screen right now. Uh full helmets. He’s not wearing the helmet with the uh air slots in it 
for ventilation. Campon art sitting on the front pulling for uh Van Art and the Trek team. There 
we go. Uh Quinn Simmons on the front, folks. Quinn Simmons is stage hunting, folks. He’s allowed to 
stage hunt on the days uh that maybe they think the sprint’s not going to happen. Evan, exactly. 
Uh, yellow jersey give you wings. Colonel RPG saying yes, Ben keeps it 100%. Dude, I believe so. 
100% too. Uh, and I’m cheering for Ben Healey. Uh, what they say? I think he’s only the fourth or 
fifth Irishman to wear the yellow jersey. Uh, you know, Steven Ro. I think the first guy was named 
Shay Elliot. Shawn Kelly, good old Shaun Kelly, green jersey winner. Um, did Dan Martin wear the 
yellow jersey? Does anyone know that Dan Martin, Irish rider. Did he wear the yellow jersey? I’m 
seeing looks like a mechanical here for one of the Arca guys. Uh, looks like he might have been 
further ahead though. Trying to get this figured out who this is. It’s Arnold Dear, the sprinter. 
So, let’s figure out where he is on course right now. Again, slightly delayed. Uh, that’s 
probably him here right now. Boom. It is, folks. Uh, so at this point, Demar has caught back 
up with Enkhorn here. So, he’s got someone to   ride with from Sudal to pull him back to the 
front. The main Pelaton, we have 165 riders. Uh, up the road here, Burgo and Fred 
Wright. And at the front of the course, three, the trio of breakaway artists 
from the very beginning today, riders. uh going to the chat here. 
So only 64% are saying that uh Ben will keep the yellow jersey today. 
So what’s everyone thinking then? That’s my   question for everyone. Who do you think 
will have the yellow jersey if not Ben? I just want to see the poll again here. Uh we’ve 
only got 39 votes. I’ll let it run for a little bit longer. 250 people watching right now, guys. 
Love it. Thank you so much. Uh again guys, this is an easy day for these riders at only 157 km. But 
with 1750 m of climbing, like if you’ve never done 1750 m of climbing or 157 km ride, it’s hard. It’s 
hard riders. Uh yeah, it’s tough stuff. I’ve done some of the climbs. I think I’d be better at doing 
individual big clims. Like I know I can do the hoticon. Uh, I’ve done El DuZ. I’ve done the Mamba 
2. Mamba 2. Uh, Joey Jojo was away. I think she was in Vegas at Crime Con one year. Uh, Johannes 
here is saying, “You mean Benny?” Uh, okay. So, what do you mean by that? Johannes, Johannes 
Kandani, uh, saying, “Yeah.” So, Evan saying, uh, yellow Evan, you’re in third place on the chat 
board right now. Keep them coming, dude. Uh, Nina,   nice to have different yellow jersey winners. I 
I absolutely agree, Nina. I love when the jersey changes hands all the time. Just seeing Machu 
Vanderpool uh go back for bottles. Couple of bottles, mini sticky bottle there for him and he’s 
back in. Doesn’t go to the back. Straight up the side of the pelon. My favorite cyclist out there. 
Uh yeah, if it comes down to a sprint today, Benny does have a chance. And I’d like to see 
Benny get involved at this intermediate coming up. I would like to see him get involved at the 
intermediates uh and get some points ahead of   Jonathan Milan because right now he always seems 
to be finishing just behind Jonathan every time. Okay, watching this here now. 86 km remaining, 
three at the front. We’ve got our two chasers. Uh Pelon 4. So the Pelon is not letting this get 
away. They do not want this break to get too far ahead. Uh the final four categorized climbs is 
where we might see a a brand new break come along here. Uh I think after the sprint points kind of 
the day wow only 57% think Ben’s going to keep it. Um Anna, thank you so much Anna. Anna my she says 
my channel is amazing. Anna, I don’t know why it’s amazing. I think it’s you guys uh by being here 
with me. We’ve got almost 300 people here guys. Uh, I love the chitchat. I love the commentary. I 
love you guys bringing questions in. Uh, I don’t know everything. I love the really, really smart 
cycling fans here, uh, providing me with info and, uh, bringing things up from the past. And 
actually, I really enjoy all the question   from new people, too. Um, I realize not everyone 
rides a bike. Some people just watch the tour to France and they love it. And I would, too. Uh, 
I did it for 20 years without really riding a bike. Just fascinated by the whole event. So, 
I watched the Lance era, the Yan Olrich era. Lance’s era was pretty long, right? Floyd winning, 
Floyd having it stripped away from the Schllex, Contidor, Carlos Sastri, Cadell Evans, 
all that stuff. Then the rise of Team Sky, uh, just dominating everything. WGO. Chris Froom. 
Guys, don’t ever forget about Chris Froom. Uh, that’s another guy that had a a horrible crash 
and just never got back to where he was. Running up the side of the [ __ ] 2 in his cycling shoes, 
bike destroyed, unridable, and then running up. Okay. Yeah. No, Johannes, I understand what you’re 
saying. He’s talking about Binyong Germ Benny.   I thought you were referring to someone else 
named Ben. Dude, there is a guy named Ben. Uh I was probably talking about at the same time, 
so I understand that. No problems. Uh yeah,   dude. Benny could easily win today’s stage. He 
just needs to get positioned near the front. He just needs to kick at the right time. And that’s 
part of it, too, with these sprints. When Jonathan Milan lost a few days ago to like, you know, 
half a wheel length to Tim Merlier, that was just sprint timing. uh you know when they’re 
cranking out those big watts. I imagine those guys are cranking out like 15,800 watts, something 
like that uh in their like their ultimate sprint, you can only hold it for so many seconds. It’s 
like a balloon letting the air out. You got a   whole bunch of power and then it goes to 
nothing. Uh you could see Jonathan started his sprint like one second before Tim Merly. Tim 
moved out, started to sprint a little bit later, used the draft to his advantage, and had that just 
that tiny bit extra to get over the finish line uh ahead of Jonathan Milan. So, it’s a lot of 
sprint timing, and that sprint timing, surfing the other riders, uh using the draft to your advantage 
can help the riders that are like one step down in speed win sprints. It’s happened for years. Smart, 
savvy sprinters uh able to beat riders that are theoretically faster than them if they were to 
line up in a drag race. As the as the stage un unfolds, they find themselves in the right places. 
They got they know how to read the sprint. Um okay, so yeah, Johannes was talking about Benny. 
Benny could win today. He he has yet to win his first stage. Last year he won three stages, guys. 
Bingan Germay won three stages last year. Uh he got his first win. He had the confidence. This 
year, you know, think about it. He’s probably like, “Why can’t I do it this year? What’s 
going on?” You know, he just doesn’t have that   confidence yet, guys. Right now, we’ve got five 
riders in the front group. Five riders in the front group. So, Fred Wright and David Bellerini 
did bridge up. Now, it’s a 1 minute 21 second gap. I think these five are what the breakaways 
the Pelaton’s allowing now. Uh they’ve let those two jump on. Uh Ballerini and Fred Wright must 
have just killed themselves trying to get back   on there. See what they’re saying here. Yeah, five 
re riders in the lead after a brutal battle. Just what what I’m telling you guys. The pace drops 
down in the bunch. So they’ve decided now. Okay, now these five, we’re okay with this. So let’s 
see who’s in the top five here. Top place rider in 53rd place it’s uh Mattea Machu Burgau from 
Total Energies. 97th place is Moral Schmidt. 100th and eighth is Anderson Abrahamson Fred Wright at 
115. Davided Ballerini at 170th uh almost in last place on the race. So that’s why these guys are 
allowed up the road. They’re 42 minutes behind   Ben Healey overall. The only way they could gain 
that back is if Ben Healey stopped, took a break, uh, had coffee on the side of the road, and let 
them finish 42 minutes ahead of him today. So, they could finish 20 minutes up the road, folks. A 
lot of people don’t understand this if you’re new   to cycling. They have to gain that all back. 
They’ve dug themselves a hole. They have to steal that time back over all the following 
stages. This is all tracked. If you look at the cyclists underneath their seats, uh you’ll 
see a little black thing sticking out. Uh that’s the transponder that keeps track of where all the 
riders are on course and their times at the end of the day. So if you’re 42 minutes behind today 
and you finished 10 minutes of Ben Ben Healey, you’re still 32 minutes behind them. You may have 
been in the group that won the stage. You may have won the stage. You’re still going to be 32 minutes 
behind him because you only took 10 minutes back. Uh, Nina’s asking, “Will you miss Grant Thomas?” 
Another previous one. Yeah, Grant’s been awesome. Uh, really classy guy. When did he win? 2018. 
He won the tour in 2018, I believe, for Sky. Uh, he was there, too. You know, great rider. Probably 
another rider that got stuck on a team with too   many good riders. Uh, it’s kind of like Sky at the 
time was the UAE or Vizma now. Vizma now. uh WGO, Chris Froom, uh Thomas, they had a bunch of great 
riders. Mikuel Landanda was there for a while. But yeah, tour winners and he was kind of waiting 
for his turn. So yeah, he’s retiring. I think   this this I’m not sure exactly when he retires 
this year, like what will be his last race? Pete Courtney, over 300 people watching, guys. Thank 
you so much for joining my little channel. Uh guys, so like I said, I was looking last night. 
We’ve got the women’s tour coming up at the end   of July. I did a lot of research last night, guys. 
Uh I did see something a few days ago. They were celebrating Tatty’s 100th win, 100th professional 
win. And when I was watching the Jirro Don, because I did watch it, I forget the cyclist name. 
Uh she just scored her 106 win. So guys, it’s the same stuff. It’s the same stuff. Uh really, really 
high caliber women’s cycling is out there. Uh so Patty’s got 100, this lady’s got 106. She’s pretty 
dominant in her sport, too. So I’m really excited to be covering that at the end of the month. And 
then we’ve got the Valta. Uh I think that starts August 25th and goes into September. We’ve got 
the tour of Poland. We’ve got the German tour.   We’ve got the tour of Denmark. uh the Arctic uh 
Norway trail I think it’s called it was called all world tour races. We’re going to see some more 
pro teams showing up. Uh even some of those races allow a couple of continental teams to help for uh 
show off the young talent and I’m going to follow   those because there’s guys that are like right 
there. They’re right there. Actually, there’s a rider this year. I saw him. I was looking at 
last year’s results. Uh forget which race it was. might have been the Arctic race. There’s a rider 
in this race right now and I’m going to show   them to you right now. Teams, I know that’s 
bright. Teams, we’re going to go to Moastar. We’re going to Moastar right now. I think it’s 
this rider here. He rode for Continental level. Continental level or pro series team last 
year. Castrio Zeder. He’s a time trialist. Uh but I think last year I think he was on a team 
called Pharma Kern or Kern Fararma, I believe. Uh unless it’s a guy with the exact same name. 
Uh so you can you’re going to see this talent coming up. They don’t all start on these teams. 
They got to work their way up through the ranks. So club club club level continental level 
basically means a continental continental level team kind of sticks to its little part. 
It’s kind of geographically based. So you may be a continental team and you only race in Spain and 
Portugal. That’s your little area. Maybe you go to   France a little bit. Uh pro series will race all 
of Europe if they get a wild card invite. World Tour teams have to attend the World Tour events. 
18 slots, you have to send a team. You can’t say, “No, we’re sitting this one out.” You have to send 
someone. I don’t know if there’s exemptions for   that. Okay, so uh Pete Courtney, I know Pete’s 
comments been sitting here for a little bit and I did see a Pete. Uh I don’t see Ben losing time 
or getting dropped or any of the four categorized climate. I don’t either. I don’t see UAE allowing 
Tatty to jump into the sprint washing machine. Yeah, I don’t either. Tatty’s going to be at 
the front, hit the 3 kilometer mark, pull off, just stay in the bunch, and not lose any time to 
Ben or Yonas, uh, Kevin Bolon. They’re all going to be together. Uh, looks like we got a big group 
going up the road now, folks. Big group going up   the road. So, uh, it just exploded off the front. 
I’ve been watching the replay here, seeing it go down. Uh, initiated by Groupama, FDJ, and Alison. 
So, that’s happening now. and I’ll tell you what’s happening live. So, we got five on the front. Uh 
the two riders bridged across to our original trio   of breakaway artists and then there’s a smattering 
of riders coming up now on my replay. But what’s happened is 19 riders. Now it’s down to three. Uh 
that’s changing all the time. So there’s guys who are in the there’s actually 22 riders that have 
been allowed to Here’s the two Groupama guys I was just talking about. Pache and Russo Russo with 
the one rider Vermiche from Alpas and Donic. So I’m I’m watching that happen. Uh then there’s a 
group of 19. They were all together at once. So I think this replay is showing me them coming back 
together and they split again. In this group here, we’ve got Aurelians, Paripon, Gashinard who went 
earlier, Vanard. So this Gashinard guy, he’s hunting for a breakaway today. We saw him earlier. 
Van Art’s hunting for a breakaway earlier. Trenton was hunting earlier. Broga is trying to get 
involved. Anthony Turgis, this is his kind of a thing too. Um Magnus Court Nielson earlier on 
today he says I want to be in the breakaway today. Here he is. Gonovan. That’s interesting. This one 
Gonovan is a pure sprinter trying to get up the road. Honor De Lee, another sprinter trying to 
get up the road. I wonder if they’re trying to   get up the road to get those sprint points before 
anyone else does. Uh take them away from the big boys. Again, uh only 60% of the people saying 
Ben will keep the yellow. Anyone that voted no, uh just let us know who you think it’s going 
to be. Oh yeah, I love this. I love this from Dawn. Be back. Be right back. I have a kickboxing 
class. I’m going to go destroy someone here for the next few minutes. So Don’s heading outside. 
be right back. He’s got a part a class outside   the park. Awesome stuff, Don. Hope it’s got some 
good weather for you. Uh Pete’s saying, “I think Ben will keep yellow.” Me, too. Uh Nina here. 
Yeah, Total Energies badly need a win. Uh good thing about that right now is they do have Burgo 
on the front and we have seen Gashinard in one of these groups. Okay, not this three rider group 
here. Remember, these two are the ones I saw.   I didn’t know who they were, but I saw them going 
with an Alpison rider. Uh, so in this group here, this Murice group, uh, I think there’s two Total 
Energy riders here. Let’s have a quick look. Uh, Nina, thanks for bringing that up. It just 
triggers me to go look at something. Uh,   we see more Dathlon riders. Here’s Gashinard, who 
attacked earlier. Probably been a plan, guys. We need to get in the break. Uh, and we got Anthony 
Churches, probably their best rider. Uh here he’s in the break as well. So we’ve got three Total 
Energy riders pushing on the front end today. How big is the gap here? They got 126 
to the front. The trio, the second trio, or the only trio now, uh is 12 seconds, 14 
seconds ahead of the group of 19. They’re desperate to bridge up. I I’d be hanging 
back waiting for that group to help me out.   Uh, the second group though is only 
23 seconds ahead of the Pelaton. So, I think the Pelaton’s going to try to control 
this second big dangerous group and they’re going to allow this trio of three to try to bridge up 
to the front there. Uh, it’s a big gap to bring back right now. These guys would really have 
to slow down uh to allow these three back on. Uh, we got someone here. Uh, AT33. 
Sprint’s not that far away now, dude. Uh, it’s got to be, let me just 
take a look over here. Our sprint, we are currently 81.8 kilometers into 
the race and sprint point is at 97.3. So, we’re 17 km out from the sprint. Uh, we’re going 
to be there pretty quick. Estimated arrival. Let’s see if we can figure this out. Say an 810. 
I think we’ll be there quicker than that. Uh 17 km. Yeah, I think we’ll be there in about 
20 minutes. It’s my guess. After that point, too, we still have 59 km to the finish, including 
four categorized climbs. They’re nothing serious, guys. Uh this is not going to change 
the GC of the tour to France today.   Um, these four climbs may allow someone to break 
away and escape uh and secure uh stage win today. Sylvia saying alter. Yeah, they got to get 
something going to inter Mare uh with one of the top sprinters has done nothing yet this tour. 
I mean, yes, he’s third place overall on the green jersey, but they need to win something. Remember, 
one win at the Tour to France defines your career. It’s like, yeah, whatever. Who cares about all 
the other stuff he did at this tour, that tour,   but he won a stage. He won stage this at the 
tour to France. People remember that forever. Jeff’s here. It’s been a long time since we have 
seen the pink kit from EF on the podium. If they protect Ben, I think Ben has enough experience 
to know when to contest Pogy. Yeah, I think Ben   can probably hold I think there’s a chance Ben can 
hold it tomorrow, too. Uh, an allout climb. You’ve seen Ben. He’s got that really distinctive 
climbing style when he’s out of the saddle. Okay, so this is talking about earlier, guys, 
the big chase group. Uh, but they’re just kind   of dangling here. They’ve only got a 7-second gap 
on the Pelaton. They’re going to be brought back. They’re not going to get up to these guys here. 
In fact, these guys will probably be pulled back, too. At the rate we’re going, they’re only 
about 40 sec 40 seconds ahead of the Pelon. So, I think the uh group Maurice here 
and the group Pache will be caught   back. It’s going to be these low five 
lone brave warriors out front battling. Uh let me get back up here, guys. 
See if we got any near live stuff. That’s the highlights. Near live, guys. Let’s 
take a look at this here for you here. Oh,   I can’t get to that one. That link doesn’t 
work. Uh, and these will be from really earlier today. So, let’s just fly back here for 
now. Stick with what I’m seeing on the course.   And that’s how I want to do it, guys. 
And when we come to the sprint point, we’re going to do like last time. I’m going 
to kind of hide the sprint point results from   myself. And I’m going to purely follow uh flow 
bikes here. Trying to see where we’re at. Uh, okay. So, I’m about a kilometer behind on flow 
bikes right now. And they’re showing that trio. Uh, two group FDJ riders and an Alpison to 
Coinic rider. Who is the Alpasen rider here for Meech? Okay, 118th 116th Pache here sitting 
at 29th place. It’s a good move for him. Good move for him if they allow him to get away and 
he can get some time up the road. Remember,   all the guys that need to uh that are eyeballing 
each other are all riding here together. I think what I’m seeing right now on screen 
here is that group just being taken back.   I think I can see Bout in third place right 
now. Pelaton’s all coming back. There’s the yellow jersey of Ben Healey. I almost said Tatty 
there. I think he might be wearing a pink helmet, though. I’m not sure if he’s in a yellow helmet. 
Um, let’s go, guys. Yeah. So Ben’s not going to lose stuff today. He’s not. Tomorrow brutal. 
Oh yeah, tomorrow’s hotcom. Okay. So things could change tomorrow. If it was the mountain 
time trial tomorrow, I could see Ben holding   it through that. Maybe not. Uh because then they 
got to control the race. Uh that’s going to be a tough job tomorrow with only a 29 second gap back 
to Tatty uh in second place. In my head there, I was thinking the time trial’s tomorrow and 
then it’s just Ben doing his all-out effort.   He would be the last guy on the road to go out. 
He can see Tatty’s times and react to it. Uh, and just bury himself to keep the yellow jersey 
for one more day. Even if he works so hard that he’s going to absolutely lose it the next 
day. Uh, with hotcom tomorrow with their how the scheduling is. Yeah, he’ll probably be out 
of it tomorrow, but he will hold it today. Uh, uh, Robert here, “Enjoying seeing the ark on on 
Seel. Too often it’s yellow or white or polka dot. The most beautiful jersey ever.” Uh, Robert, which 
jersey are you talking about there? I’m confused. Got an answer here pretty quick. Tequila, do 
you think do you think the Pelaton is trying to keep Pogy from breaking away? No, I think 
Pogy is just content to sit in there. Kilo, when I get a shot here of him, uh I’m finding 
it’s mostly just saying staying on the breakaway   today. Uh and not a lot of Pelaton shots, 
it’s very easy to sit Ben Healey because you can see his three four teammates right near 
him. I’m going to start looking more over here. I’m thinking it might be a very good time for 
me to run and try to grab one more coffee.   We’re flying along, guys. Like, we’ve got 
70.7 We got 69.7 km to go right now. Uh, all out racing here. Probably close to 50k an 
hour. So, basically, we’re like probably an   hour and a half from the finish. It will slow 
down in places. Uh, let’s keep going here. Yeah, I don’t ta I don’t think 
Tatty would dare attack today. Uh, we know he’s Tatty. We know he’s the 
best rider in the world right now. Uh, but his team has been weakened. He doesn’t want 
to do anything stupid before the big big hill climb tomorrow. He’s He’s just going to cruise 
along with everyone else and finish right there   with them. Yonas is going to do the same thing, 
too. The only reason you’re going to see anything crazy at the end is teams just accelerating to 
keep their riders at the front. Like Visba’s been doing it over and over and over. Uh seeing some 
breaks in the Pelaton back here, guys. There’s a bunch of riders that have just fallen out the 
back. Uh I don’t know when and how that happened.   So five at the front. The three plus the two that 
came on board. Oo, take a look at this here, guys. Some of the riders that were going to be caught 
managed to get away. So, it wasn’t showing me   on the transponders. We’ve got seven riders. Now, 
it’s getting a bit more dangerous, folks. Vanard, Trenton, Vermesh, Gronov, Arnold Dele going 
with Gronovan to cover those sprint points, I believe. Uh, what’s the gap? It is only 11 
seconds to the Pelaton. So, they’re probably going to be caught up like I thought before. That’s the 
Group Palama FDJ riders and the Alpison rider plus the guys that are are still attacking just trying 
to wear the Pelaton out. So the Pelaton consists of 91 riders, but take a look at this. 21 seconds 
out the back. We’ve got 70 riders, 69 riders out the back right now, including Matteo Jorgensson. 
Roglick is back there. Johansson Skeleos who’s 15th overall. Emanuel Bman, I saw his name 
last night, too. This guy is just kind of like for Kofides 20th place overall right now. Just 
stealthily in the top 20. Uh that’s really cool to see. I think there might have been some open uh 
terrain before and there was a little bit in the split in the Pelaton. I did see some gaps earlier, 
so obviously there’s some winds out here. Okay, I’m watching this here now. I can see the Van Art 
Group on the front and it looks like Ben Healey   is on the front. Yeah, Ben Healey is in yellow 
right now probably sitting right on the very front chasing after them. They do not want this group 
to get away. This is a very strong group. Wow, there’s a ton of riders back here. Uh bit of a 
gap. That’s going to come back together though,   guys. It’s 14 seconds. I see Kevin Valon’s 
back there. There’s a ton of big names back here. Skelemos, Jorgensson, Rajlick, Simon Yates, 
Blackmore, Barge, all of those guys, Camponarts. So, I wonder if there’s a touch of wheels 
somewhere and they got caught behind in a crash.   Uh, oo, he’s got some stuff here. Vanderpole and 
Healey on the move. Vingo follows. I think I’m seeing Healey pushing on the front right now. 
So, that’s what I’m seeing here right now. Here we go, guys. Workload. This is the three up 
front. Uh the original breakaway, 30, 29, 27. They’re all doing equally about 
the same amount of work. Uh they’ve   been caught by two other riders, 
so now they’re going to be doing a little bit less. They’ll be happy 
to see those riders up front there. Let’s move on here, folks. Let’s 
move on. It’s getting exciting.   There’s stuff going on here. 
There’s a break off the back. I’m kind of wondering about this group back here. 
What has happened to them all? 69 riders back here. The yellow jerseys up here. 15 rider 
group. Ben Healey, Pogy, Aventipole only. Mass Pache. That was the guy that tried to go 
earlier. Here’s Gron’s back in the group now. So, the GC has decided we’re pulling this back. 
I’m watching it go down now, folks. Quinn, Team Simmons at the front. Uh, Van Art just a 
couple riders back. Yonas is in the mix, too. So, this is what they’re talking about here. Yonas 
is getting to the front going with um Ben Healey. Where’s Tatty? Uh, I’m seeing some white jerseys 
at the back of this smaller group. Wow, guys. This is not what I expected at all. Not what I expected 
at all today, guys. It’s a tour to France. You   don’t know what’s going to happen. Group three 
here, 83 riders. Now it’s showing. Group two, Ben Healey group. So Yonas was there. Tatty’s in 
this group. Uh Yonas just finds himself behind in the second group, but guys, it’s only Well, they 
are saying it’s 30 seconds. Sorry. No, it’s not 30 seconds. It’s changing all the time. There’s 
there’s multiple groups here splitting out. Now, let’s keep let’s let this stabilize a little bit. 
Five in the front, then it says a group of 15 with   the yellow jersey. That’ be Ben Healey. Uh then 
it’s got 152 riders now in the main pelaton. One second group. It’s all coming back together, 
folks. But interesting to see these riders   pushing this hard this early on. And amazing to 
see Yonas riding on the front right now. Uh again, this is a replay guy, guys. I’m about one 
kilometer behind. Yonas is sitting on the   front driving. Uh it looks like Oscar only is 
with him and I can see Ben Healey, uh fifth rider on course. This was earlier in the 15 rider break, 
which is now just dangling out in front. Well, out to 20 seconds again. Now things are changing fast 
here. Uh Quinn Simmons spoke quite early about the importance of a tour stage win while lamenting 
his second place place finish. Yeah, exactly. He is determined to get a stage win and on non-sprint 
days. Uh kind of Quinn has free reign to do what he wants this one. You never know what’s going to 
happen today. Uh he’s probably in a tough position   knowing that it could be a Jonathan Milan stage, 
but I think Quinn’s strong enough to do both. Uh, and they’ll be able to tell them like Quinn, 
go now or you need to wait for uh for Jonathan. Pelaton really, really strong out here, guys. 
It’s been really active. Uh, not the stage I was expecting at all to be honest. It seems like the 
GC wants to get involved today. Robert Stanley, thank you so much, dude. Um, greetings from 
Oklahoma. We’ll put this towards the Joey Jojo birthday fund today. Thank you so much. 
Happy birthday, Joey. Uh, like and subscribe, y’all. Support Colin, dude. Thank you 
so much. 345 people watching right now,   guys. Do my best to give you the 
coverage the way I see it. Um, guys, watch your feeds. Listen to 
me. Jump into the chat. Have fun. Uh, Bhanu Tes here is asking, “How can I 
see the game?” Uh, follow along here. Uh, hopefully you can get a subscription somewhere 
to watch. I know it’s getting harder and harder   to watch the tour to France and they’re 
really cracking down on people. Yep. Oh, yeah. Sorry, Robert. Okay. Arc 
Aniel world champion stripes. Yeah,   Pogy back in his uh traditional wear today. 
I should have known that. Thank you, Robert. Uh, Tequila’s saying thank you. I’m not sure of 
what I did there. Uh, Benny needs a stage win. Abel here saying Benny needs a stage win for sure. 
He needs that confidence builder. Okay, guys, watching the replay. Guess who’s on the front? 
Team Simmons. Team Simmons always on the front, it seems. Uh, I’m only 600 meters behind. 
So, this is looking really fun here now, folks. Here he is here. So, another group 
has split. Okay, five guys up front. We got a chasing group of five. Machu Vanderpool, 
Quinn Simmons, Laurance, Vanart, Arnold Dele, Arnold wants to sprint. Vault might want to 
sprint. The Cyclacross Kings of the World, Vanderpool, and Vanart, uh, riding together 
here in this group. That is a deadly group, guys. That may be one of the greatest groups of 
all time. Uh, they’ve got a 17 second gap over 22 riders. Wow. This stage is insane, folks. 
This is absolutely insane. We’ve got Healey, Pogy, Aventipole, Vingigo, and but it’s it’s it’s 
just changing all the time. I think there’s riders going off the front continuously getting small 
groups of 15 and 16 riders. It gets pulled back. They go again. It’s constant attacks included 
by the GC riders today. So, let’s just see if we can see the map and see. Yeah. Okay. So, it’s 
all back together now. two groups, five up front, five chasing. Those five chasing, let them get 
back. Let them get back with you. I would take my chances with uh Machu Vanderpool uh and Venard 
and Quinn Simmons if I was in the front group. I’d be like, “Yeah, dude. Haul us all the way. Haul us 
all the way.” What is the gap between them? It’s 48 seconds. Just put Vanderpool on the front and 
just say, “Dude, do your thing. Do your thing.” Guys, did you see uh that stage with him and 
Rickert? That was such an incredible stage. He was caught 700 meters from the finish after being 
in the breakaway all day. That guy would he would never give up. Never give up attitude. Rickard did 
pull out a bit early. I think I saw from Steven Cycles this morning. I think that the I think it 
was 3 hours and 23 minutes he managed to maintain uh normalized power 401 watts. Like guys, that’s 
huge power. Huge power. So, cycling efforts are measured in watts and watts per kilo. The higher 
the numbers, the better. Watts per kilo are more uh a measurement of climbers and absolute 
watts. Uh how long can you maintain certain power are more for flat riders, time trialists. 
So you may have a high watts per kilo climber, but because they weigh so little, their absolute 
wattage isn’t that high. So if you put a bigger rider on the flats, they can ride less watts per 
kilo and generate more power and be faster. All depends on the situation on the road, depends on 
the riders, too. Uh I’m obviously twice as heavy as Vang Bingo. Well, not twice as heavy. Uh but 
he can put out way more watts per kilo than me. Okay, 51 seconds here. The front group of five 
is holding off this guys. They want to get to   the sprint points. So in the five here, remember 
there is points uh rewards and bonuses. Some of these sprint points will have uh like I said, 
there could be cash uh monetary prizes. There usually is. It might be 1,500 euro for being the 
first guy across the line. Uh, it could be a block of cheese as well or a bottle of wine from the 
area. And when it’s usually like a case of wine or an 800lb block of cheese, something like that. 
Looks like things have stabilized a little bit. We got our five riders chasing. This is a very 
strong group here. Simmons has found himself in the perfect group here. Uh, if he’s going for 
a stage win, Simmons looking really good here for Trek. 47th overall. I think he might be the 
highest placed on Tre right now. Is that correct? I’d have to double check that. Then looks like 
we got Nelson Oliver riding solo for Movie Star. I wonder if he’s been sent up the road. Like 
guys, we need to get someone up there. Uh all   these teams will be desperate to be represented at 
the front. So you look here, no MOAR rider. Front five. There’s no MOAR rider there either. So there 
is a director in a car somewhere screaming, why do we not have someone at the front? get up there, 
you know, get on TV, show off for the sponsors. Okay. Uh, getting back to the chat here, guys. Again, thank you to R. Stanley from Oklahoma 
for the contribution today. Joey Jojo fun today, guys. Uh, Benny does need this stage. Exactly. 
Benny’s in the Pelaton right now. Ebel just hanging out with the rest of the sprinters. 
They’re actually they’re finally showing me   the Pelon here, guys. Jonathan Milan surfing the 
back. A lot of guys uh hands in the air asking for bottles. It’s 30° Celsius, so it’s about 88 87 
Fahrenheit. Neil’s Plet riding on the back today. Not his job to chase today. If this was a tatty 
stage today, Neil Plet would be on the front the entire way. Tim Wellins on the back, too, back in 
his Belgian uh jersey. Tons of riders got their arms up in the air here. I’m not sure if they’re 
all looking for bottles. Tim Wellins just threw a   bottle at the camera bike just nonchalantly given 
them a bottle. I’ve seen riders throwing bottles into other teams cars um just so they don’t get 
a penalty. If you throw your bottle away outside a designated zone and there’s not a fan nearby to 
catch it, that’s that’s the trick. Uh you will get penalized. But if there’s a fan standing nearby, 
he’s going to want the bottle. So you know,   oh there’s 30 people there. I’m outside the zone. 
I’m just going to give the bottle anyways. Okay, guys. I’m trying to avoid what see what happens 
in the sprint here. I’m watching right now. 500   meters to go. This is the front five right now. 
Uh Ballerini, Mororrow Schmidt, uh Abraham. 300 meters to go. They’re just strung out in a long 
train. They might have already decided who’s going   to get the sprint. The UNOX guy is getting out 
of the saddle right now, though. I bet you he’s going for it. They need any kind of victory right 
now. UNOX rider coming up on the right hand side takes the first position. Looks like he will get 
the sprint. Fighting for it. Fighting for it with   the Astana rider. Uh so Aana and Yuno X desperate 
for any victories they can get right now. Uh this always looks good for them. Always looks good to 
be seen battling at the front. Vanderpool group uh 53 seconds back. Nelson Olivera chilling 
out by himself. Solo 27 seconds behind them. and the Pelaton 161 riders all back together. 
So things were pretty haywire there for a little bit. Uh the yellow jersey attacking, Pogy going, 
Yonas sitting on the front. Not what you would expect on a day like today. Uh we will watch 
the second group and I’ll call that one back   too because there’s still going to be points 
available for Jonathan Milan and Bingham. Uh we can be sure of some things in the tour of 
France there will never be any cheating, right?   Lol. All right. Yeah, Jeeoff, you’re 100% right, 
dude. 100% right. Uh Quinn is a a 1960 surfer, dude. He must listen to the Beach Boys in the Bus. 
Yeah, you never know. He probably rides a Harley,   too. Uh Cole McDonald. Yeah, it’s crazy. Sportset 
or TSN doesn’t have it on on a channel. I know, dude. Nothing. Uh the only way in 
Canada is uh Cole, when you say that, you must be Canadian. I’m not sure if I’ve 
asked you where you’re from. uh TSN and Sports Net supposed to mean Canadian sports. Uh we’ve 
got Nelson Oliver going through the replay now,   so he’ll get sixth place in the sprint. There’s 
probably still at least 10 or 12 points left for the next position that Jonathan’s going to want. 
Uh honestly, those World Champion jerseys have the same colors as the Olympic graphics, but I 
think some perceive it as a gay pride thing. Okay,   that’s just how people are these days. No, it’s 
totally different from that, dude. Uh it’s the world champions jerseys. It’s the world champions 
bands around the the center of the chest and some   guys even have it around the side of the jersey 
right here like I do like I have on my jersey today. Uh but I’m not a world champion. Okay, just 
watching here. Ben Healey sitting in the bunch now. Things have calmed down in the Pelaton. 
I don’t know what was going on there before,   but everyone was attacking. Maybe everyone’s 
just getting sleepy sitting at the back. Uh, Brooke Bullock here. This is a new commenter. 
Hey, Brooke. Nice to have you here. Thanks for joining us, guys. 322 riders right now. Please 
like if you can. Just all you got to do is slap   that little thumbs up button. It really helps me 
out a ton. Uh, is there any chance for Yonas to make some time today or not so much today? Yeah, 
he’ll be saving his legs for tomorrow. Brooke.   Brooke, today is a sprint day or breakaway 
day. The only guys that are going to get in the breakaway is people that are really far down 
in the GC. Meaning they’re they could be an hour behind Yonas at this point. Even though they’re up 
the road, if that makes sense. They need to finish one hour ahead of Yonas to be equal on time with 
them. Remember, it’s every day counts. It’s a a every day is a new race. Everyone’s racing for 
this one day race. Overall times take the GC. That’s why it’s called a stage race, which 
means you can do very poor on some races, on some stages, uh, and win a few and still be 
near the front. You don’t have to win every stage to win the tour to France. There’s been stages 
in the past where races where the Tour to France winner has not won a stage. When Enderin was 
in his prime, he would win the time trials. He wouldn’t win one road stage, but he was so 
dominant in the time trial. He would just hang with the time the climbers as best he could and 
absolutely destroy them in the time trial. Like he would beat them by 12 15 minutes in a time 
trial. And they had more time trials back then, so it suited his style. Uh guys, looking at the 
front here now, they did just show Jonathan Milan and Benium riding side by side. They haven’t 
been through the sprint point yet. So we will see Bingham and Jonathan Milan, Tim Merlier 
going head-to-head here. Up the road here, this should be Nelson Oliver from Portugal for 
Movar. He is trying to represent Movar today as best he can. Group two is Vanderpool group with 
Vanard and Simmons. Uh the sprinter Arnold Dele. Uh and first place group is our five 
breakaway artists. Three have gone since the very beginning. Actually, I’m going to look 
and see who got the rest of the points. So yeah,   10 points are actually gone. 10 positions. Oh, 
and this is really weird. They’ve got Milan, Germay. So Milan did finish ahead of Germay 
there. However, if you look at the live tracking, they’re not there yet. So, looking at this live 
point, that’s really weird. So, unless they’re not showing them right, and those guys have gone 
up the road. Nope, they have not gone up the road.   Here’s Jonathan Milan here. Uh, it’s saying he 
hasn’t gone through the sprint point yet. The race commentators here or the data coming through says 
Milan got four points. Germal got three. Well, that’s interesting, isn’t it? Abrahamson was at 
the front there before. That was the UNX rod. He   did get it. Ballerini for a Stana was was right on 
his wheel. Probably like a quarter wheel length. Uh second place Schmidt right and Burgdoro. That’s 
our front five. Simmons got uh the next one, Arnold Dei, Bonderpool, Bonard, and Laurance. 
Uh they’ve given Olivera 11th place points down to 15. So that’s all the points there will be. 
However, I don’t know how that’s happened because we haven’t gotten there yet. Very strange. So, 
this is live live data you’re seeing right here. Okay, back to the chat, guys. And I think I will 
zip for coffee after this one. I like looking at this way the best. Uh guys, going to get super 
interesting now because we are getting to our   rollers, the punchy part of the course. Remember, 
there is 1750 mters in climbing. Uh, four climbs, four launching points. You can see on the profile, 
too. There’s other points that aren’t classified.   There’s three hills here that are not classified. 
Uh, I would say any one of those is a cat 4. This one here is probably a cat 3. I’d say this guy 
here is a cat 3. So, we’ve got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven locations where anyone 
could go on the break and try to get away. Um, so yeah, Jonas won’t bring back any time today. 
Uh, the GC will probably stay exactly locked in as as it is right now. It will either 
be a breakaway win or sprint win. Uh, which means Tatty and the GC guys will be 
hanging back. They they do not want to be   near the sprinters. It’s way too dangerous 
for them. Looking back at the Pelaton, I still see a lot of work by group 
BMA FDJ and Alpson’s up there now. Oh, sorry. It’s Israel Premier. Israel Premier has 
two riders on the front now. Another team that needs something big at this tour. Uh, Israel 
Premier. uh is one of the teams right now that I think is not a world tour team. They earn 
wild cards to get to the World Tour races. Uh but I think they’re probably going to get their 
world tour status back at the end of this cycle. And yep, the Mobile Star Riders trying to get back 
to the break. Thanks, Robert. Robert, you’re number two in the uh chat standings today. Oliver 
Oliviera gets 11th in the sprint since there are two groups of five, right? Yep. He’ll get 11th 
if we look back. Good point there, Colonel. I do want to show what you’re talking about to 
everyone, just so you know. 11th point place   here for Oliv Oliviera. Keep saying that wrong, 
guys. Five points. Uh, two groups of five have already absorbed them. I still never saw the uh 
actual point where they went through on the live track and they’ll be through it now, but I had 
those results way before. So that tells me that even this is delayed here, which I thought was 
maybe this is the most live version. It’s almost 31 degrees Celsius. It is 31 degrees CCelsius 
now. Uh riders at the front have the uh the moto with them with the cold drinks. So they’ll be 
just popping over there to get their cold water bottles. I wonder what’s in those bottles. I’ve 
always thought about that. Is it just straight   up water? Is it like by a water sponsor at the 
tour? Is it like a Power Aid? a Gatorade. I’m thinking straight water. Probably straight water 
cuz they are pouring it over their heads. Could you imagine pouring Gatorade over your head? You 
forget which bottle it’s in. You just all sticky   for the rest of the race. I’d love it. Love that. 
Uh Pete saying Sports Night used to broadcast a tour until Flow Sports Flow Bikes bought the 
race. Now you need a subscription to watch it.   Exactly. I remember it used to always be free for 
I don’t know how many years. Uh Outdoor Life and watching some of these old videos, Outdoor Life 
Network, which became Versus, they actually in   one of these old videos launched the announcement 
of the new channel branding versus they’re long gone and dead now. Uh Discovery Channel showed it 
for years. Sportsnet showed it. Uh now everything you got to buy rights for everything now. Rights 
for this, right? Uh makes it almost impossible to catch it. So, I’m glad you guys can join me 
here and catch it here. Watch it all go down. Uh,   as most of you are probably at work anyways. Uh, 
coming up next year, I think what I’m seeing now, they just show showed Olivia just getting caught 
by the Pelaton there. So, that call has been   made and I’m seeing that on screen here, too. 42 
seconds back to the Vanderpool group. You notice I’ve changed my pronunciation. Uh, I forget who 
it was in the actual pronunciation because you’re going to say a lot is this. They’re going to 
catch him in these rolling hills. Vanderpool   and Vout are so strong. They’re going to make 
the catch in these little bumps coming up. Could we see a Matchu win today, guys? I think if 
Machu has any lead in these bumps, he’s going all out at the finish. Uh be it all depends how far 
they get ahead. Guys, the Vanderpool group has a two-minute lead almost right now. So, that’s 
really interesting. They’re bringing that gap down. The front five might be thinking, “Yeah, we 
need some more horsepower up here. Just watching a lot of wind from yesterday year.” Um, Pete, where 
you from? You’re knowledgeable at Canada TV. So, you’re obviously Canadian, too. Colonel RPG. 
Yeah, but time trials back then lasted 50,   dude. Exactly. Exactly. Time trials in the old 
days. I’ve saw some in the past. 85 kilometer individual time trial like and they started 
shortening them and again this is my little wacky way of thinking because I’m probably a better 
time trials than I am a climber. They shortened   the time triers be time trials because they 
hurt the climbers too much. The climbers would get decimated on the time trials. they would lose 
like 10, 12, 15 minutes per time trial and they’d have multiple time trials per tour. They tried to 
balance out all the disciplines of cycling. Now it’s all gone from time traveling. There’s very 
little of it. Uh and on the counter side, they haven’t shortened the climbs. They didn’t say, 
“No, we’re not doing montu and aldue anymore.”   You big guys, you have to do them as well. So, 
it’s gone back to the climbers now big time. There’s no way to gain that much time in a time 
trial to beat the climbers, but the climbs are so long and brutal, which we all want, that climbers 
can take half an hour out of a time trials on one climb. So, it’s definitely in favor of the better 
climbers now. It’s just the way it is these days. Uh, Robert saying, “Ran across a woman out in the 
wild wearing world champion stripes. I compliment her on her beautiful jersey, then mentioned 
that only world champions should wear it. She was a legit age group world champion. Gul. So 
like she was seriously a world champion. Did you get the name? Uh Muzzi Muzzy here’s asking can you 
show us the video? Dude, can’t show you the video. I can show you some highlights when they give them 
to me. This would have been a really good stage to have Bike Terror running for this one. Uh to show 
you all the groups going, but dudes it’s going to   be even better tomorrow for Hotcom. Uh really 
excited to show you that. I’m really excited to show Bike Terror to the world. Um, what you 
can do inside from home instead of just sitting and watching this. You can ride it, too. Uh, you 
don’t have to do the whole stage, guys. A lot of these programs out there, you just do one climb 
or two climbs or you do We’re not pros. We’re not 20 years old. Uh, I think 99% of the people here 
are not 20 years old. So, you do a 30 40k section of the climb. Uh there’s there’s a hoton climb 
on Ruby right now. There’s a hoton climb on Zift right now, but you’re not going to do the the 130 
kilometers before it, whatever it may be. Yeah, dude. Love to show you the video. I’ll show you 
the highlights and my interpretation of what’s   going on. Uh showing video is a no no. I’m a good 
boy. No copyright strike strike here, man. You’re going to have to pay for a subscription somewhere. 
Um just responding to Brooke here. Thanks, Jeff. No, Brooke. Jonas will not be allowed to 
get into a breakaway. If you joined a break,   then the other guys would attack the break. Yeah. 
When they see a GC guy going up the road. So, Brooke, I know you understand this. If they see 
anyone that’s slightly dangerous going up the road, it’d be like, “Well, you know what? He’s 
only 30 seconds behind us overall. We can’t let   them go. All of the other GC guys would start 
working together to bring him back.” And then there’s always the fear of, okay, my breakaway 
attempt that I went on, they just pulled it back   and I’m tired now. And so then you’re 30 seconds 
if you’re really tired. What if you slip off the back and now you lose more time to them? So it’s 
so hard to decide when to go on your attacks. I know a lot of people have been that way about 
Yumbo, sorry, Visma Lisa Bike. And I’m like, it’s not it’s not like having a gas engine. You 
don’t just floor the accelerator and then okay, that didn’t happen. I’ll do it again and get 
the exact same result. They’re human beings. They feel different every day. Uh the energy 
reserves aren’t the same every day. They might   have had a bad burrito. You just don’t know. Uh 
uh Colonel RPG, their pronunciation is closer to Olivea than Oliviera. Okay, that’s what I thought. 
I I think I was saying Olivera at the beginning,   so I’m going to stick with Olive then. Uh 
Portuguese is tricky. Yeah, I would have no idea, man. No idea. Summit Odyssey is saying it’s dope. 
I’m not sure what’s dope, but it’s dope. Uh, okay. He’s talking about the water bottles. 
Yeah, because Jeff says right after it’s straight delicious EPO water. Just take that all 
in, folks. Uh, John Chad’s here. Good morning, John. Hey, John. How’s the camping/musicfest? 
John’s away with his son and daughter. Uh, John’s already got his son, Logan. Oh, what’s 
Logan’s name? I think it’s Red One. Red Bunny one or something like that over on R. So John uh races 
rides with me over on Ruby and his son’s already riding at 15 and they are preparing for the tour 
to donut uh a local event. I don’t think it’s in I think John’s in Wisconsin. I think it’s the 
next state over wherever that is. Um but John’s here. He’s away this weekend. John, I thought you 
said you couldn’t make the the stream. Are you   watching on your phone? Are you training in the 
parking lot on your trainer? Uh, Robert Belgian TV showing oneonone of Fletcher stage one. Oh, I 
love that one. His victory salute. Yep. Doing the arrow. Out of out of the quiver. Doing the arrow. 
Love it. I Dude, I totally remember that watching that live. I don’t know how many years. That 
seems like that was 20 years ago. Maybe it’s less. Jeff saying, “Yeah, time trials are really 
short now, dude. Race me around the block.”   I do like the time. I think I like them more 
than ever now just because maybe that I’m back into cycling and it’s what I’m better at. Um, you 
know, I always say I like to say all the time, I’m a full-size guy. I’m not I don’t have the physique 
of a pesky lightweight climber. And I’m and I’m absolutely fine with that. I rather be a full-size 
guy. Okay, guys. This is getting interesting now,   too. We’re down to 30 seconds. Uh, we are hitting 
the hills now. In fact, we’re f through the f we’re getting to the first bump now. Through 
the first bump. Our five riders. I don’t think there’ll be too much of a battle here for this. 
45.7 there. And I’m at 40. I’m only 400 meters off. I need Flow Bikes to show me something. And 
in fact, it’s not Flow Bikes. It’s the World Tour feed, guys. All these feeds from all over the 
world, they’re all showing the same coverage. So Peacock, Flow Bikes, they’re all getting they 
don’t have their own camera crews out there. It’s the world tour feed. It’s what provided by whoever 
runs the tour to France. They provide the feeds. They provide the rights. Israel Premier Techch 
really present on the front right now. So the leaders have gone through the top of the climb. 
I’m watching the Pelaton only because they are not   showing me who went through first there. Mostly 
Alpason and Israel premier tech guys up here. Uh, I’m seeing at least six Israel premerc 
riders on the front. They finally got me back to the front, so I can see this go down. 
Mororrow Schmidt sitting on the front of this   group. Less than 300 meters to the top of this 
climb. There’s only one point available. Uh, there is a bar victorious rider here who will 
probably want to steal the point to take it away from anyone getting it to attack Lenny Martine 
Martinez. Unix rider there, the Estana rider, and the total energies rider. I think they’re 
just gonna let the bar ring rider ride through here. 7% gradient here, guys. He’s 100 meters to 
go. Sometimes that’s how it happens. It’s like, okay, man. They kind of know like the 
dynamics of the pack, the field. Okay, let him roll through because his guy has got the 
highest points so far. Like, just let him have it. If you don’t let him have it, he may not 
work with you later on down the road. So, yep,   they gave it to the bobbering victorious rider. 
Zero attacks, zero effort behind anyone there. Uh, the chasing group of five is virtually right on 
them now. It says 26 seconds. Uh, they’re looking at the banner now. They’re going to catch them 
here right away. Vanderpool and uh Vanart in the same group at the front, guys. Pelaton is uh two 
minutes behind Vanderpool. Okay, guys. You might have just given it to him. You might have just 
given it to him. They’re letting him go again. Interesting stuff here, guys. Okay. Yeah, the 
Pelaton’s going to have to work like crazy to   bring it back at the end with the sprint 
groups because if I look at the rankings right now in the GC after stage 10, yeah, 
I know it’s like a supernova in my head. They’re saying the tour is no mercy for nobody. 
Come on, boys. Come on. That’s the Sudal, guys. But I’m doing my Vizma voice. Uh, 
yeah. So, Machu is way out of the top now. He lost a lot of time in the last stage. 
I just wanted to see where he was overall. 26 seconds. I It’s going to come back together 
soon. Looking forward to this seeing this happen. Um, yeah. Yeah. So, Robert, I really remember 
that uh one on 20 of Fletcher win. Totally remember it. Like watching it live Saturday 
morning. It seemed like it was 20 years ago. Uh R Stanley here, dude. Oklahoma rocks. Okay. 
I feel like the tour is such a massive world event that it should be on ABC or CBS or 
a major network similar to the Olympics.   Yeah. Like back in the day it was. Uh then 
it all changed. Like it originally was I think on ABC Wild World of Sports. I’d catch 15 
minutes of it every Sunday. That’s all I’d see. Uh second group there. I think Fred Wright’s 
in that group. Yeah, I think they gave uh Oh,   no. He’s not in that group. Okay. But yeah, 
tons of work by Premier Techch at the front. It looks like they got the entire team at the 
front right now. I wonder what their strategy   is today. Are they going to send someone flying 
soon? And then it’s So, it’s all premier tech. Uh, okay. Maybe a couple Alpas riders. Looks at 
the front eight to nine. There’s probably six   Premier Techch riders. A couple of Alpson riders 
and then EF sitting there. All of EF’s there. Uh, Ben Healey’s there. More Alpas sandwich. And 
then the Visma team. Very hard to spot Tatty right now. The white jerseys and the gray jerseys 
from a distance kind of blend into each other. Ah, this I love these kinds of questions, dude. 
This is a good one uh from Tony C here. Tony, thanks for being here. Question in France. 
Would you rather finish GC in seventh? No   stage wins. Finish GC in 50th but with a 
stage win. This is a great one for a poll, dude. Be the top domestique for 
a GC winner. Be the director of a GC winner. Dude, that’s a good 
poll question, dude. personally. Well, I guess if you’re the top domestique for 
a GC winner, you’re on the winning team. Your   team won the tour to France. So, that’s probably 
the ultimate goal. Uh the director, the directors are super important, but obviously UAE probably 
would be nothing without Tatty. They would be just another really good team, not the super team. Uh 
finished 50th. Yeah, winning a stage of the tour is pretty incredible. Yeah, I would say be the 
best guy on the GC winners team because you’re going to take in all that glory. You probably 
get to be involved with the team presentation   at the end. The best team will probably be the GC 
winners team. So, you’ll do the podium finish at the end. Your teammate won the tour to France. I 
would probably go that then I would go finish 50th but win a stage. That that’s stage glory forever. 
But no one’s going to remember that you finished 50th. This one’s good. Then I would probably go 
finish seventh, but no stage wins. It’s good, but you didn’t win a stage a win. Like top 10 
finish is like that’s what these guys want.   That’s why at the beginning of the stream 
today, I spent so much time talking about all those riders down to 15th place cuz I think 
10th through 15th, they’re going to be battling to the end because if you notice the rankings, 
I’m going to do it right now for you here,   guys. Let’s just go back here. Um, here we’ll 
go to points for a second. Let’s roll down. Huh, it only goes down to 10. Let’s take a look at 
the climbers jersey. 10 seems to be important. Let’s go to the yellow jersey. 10 seems to be 
important. After 10, it’s not so much that it doesn’t matter. It’s just kind of like that’s 
the standard layout. They always show the top 10. Everyone else is kind of forgotten about. So yeah, 
for me, winning a stage, winning the tour with my teammates would be number one. Number two would 
be uh stage win. Number three would be seventh place with no wins. Number four director John says 
when he’s sleeping he’s I’m 20 and a pro. Love it. Uh Robert’s saying good question. 
Stage win for me. So Robert, he’s more of the solo rider. He wants the 
victory for himself. I love it. Okay. Uh okay. Tony C. I do not disagree with you, but 
hardly anyone in my daily life in the souththeast USA even knows tour to France is happening. 
Yeah, dude. Yeah, it’s a gigantic event, but in the States and parts of Canada, no one 
even Yeah, they have no idea what’s going on. My younger days, I think I would take the 50th 
and enjoy the stage win big time. But in my latters now, I pick the director because 
cars on getting over the mountains. Okay,   so everyone’s got a different idea here. I’m 
thinking I would I would want to be I would want to be the Jaw Almeida to Tatty Pagachar. 
I would want to be well maybe Matteo this year. I would want to be Matteo to Tatty. 
Sorry to Yonas. Um be like his lieutenant, the guy that helped him win the tour to France. 
You know, at the end afterwards when he gets all that cash and all the sponsorship, 
he’s handing out Rolexes to everyone. Uh,   notice these guys. You notice at the top end, 
guys are all wearing really nice watches. I love it. Love me a good watch. Let me know if you 
guys like watches. I know you do. I know you do. John St. Camp was awesome. Music was better. Uh, 
Sylvia, she’s already calling it. Sylvia is going out immediately. Vanderpool for the stage. I 
agree. 26 seconds now. They’re still holding them off, guys. I’ll get back to this here. We 
got our front group of five. The original three.   They were joined by Ballerini and Fred Wright. 
Again, you’ll notice today, smaller teams, guys. Smaller teams. Vanderpool group. Uh, Vanderpool 
is a world tour team. Trek is a world tour team, but Quinn need Quinn’s desperate to get a stage 
win. Uh, we’ve got and I don’t know how Venard’s allowed up there. He is far behind. Uh, and 
the lot rider on De Laurance there is too. So, I’m expecting this to come back together here 
two minutes back from the Vanderpool group to the Pelon. So, our stage winners are probably 
in this front group of 10 unless the sprinters get everyone working at the front. I 
think the GC groups are like, “Okay,   we’ve had our little battle.” That was kind 
of insane earlier before the sprint point, how they were all attacking. I think they were 
just having some fun. Let’s let’s just see   what happens. Uh it’s up to the GC group 
now to pull them back. Having said that, I’m looking at TV here. Uh and over that last 
little climb, we’re going up the Cot Coronosak Corona. Uh it’s all Israel Primate Tech was all 
I premier. Now it’s down to two IP riders and the entire EF team. So EF team there is protecting. 
They’re doing a lot of the work up front. There is Ben Healey there right now. Uh he’s sandwiched 
between two premier tech riders at the front, his team and two premier tech riders at the 
back. So they’re up to something here today, too. Uh Tesla is asking where Benny is, I think. Ferris 
to Benny. Is that where’s Binnie? Uh and then I’ve got Italo Silva asking Ka Esta and Frene probably. 
I think that means you’re probably asking what’s going on at the front, dude. Talo Silva. We 
got five riders in a breakaway on the front holding out. Currently 2 minutes and 21 seconds 
ahead of the Pelon. And just noticing here, green jersey has been discarded out the back, 
guys. Green jersey out the back. And good news here. Well, not good news because I like the guy. 
Jonathan Milan is there. I noticed Con. I saw this yesterday, too, when Jonathan was out the back. 
Cons hangs out there back with him. I think he’s   the designated guy. When Jonathan falls out, you 
need to get back. Gotta help him. Pavl Bitner, the other sprinter there, T-Bonice and Costu. 
So, we have five riders out the back. Let’s   take a little look here, guys. See how this is 
happening. So, they’re they’re getting hurt on these hills. They’re getting hurt on these hills. 
Bingham is up ahead here. So, Milan stage victory today is looking less than like pos less than 
likely possible now. Uh especially since he’s fallen out the back. Uh, Bingum will be with the 
Pelaton. Bingium seems to be able to do a better   job hanging with the Pelaton longer and and 
again that goes to their their strengths. Uh, no one’s touching Milan right now. Actually, 
Merlier is up there too. So, really good job for Tim Merier staying up there. Sidebyside drag 
race, all out power, no positioning. I think Merlier has the the most horsepower. Sorry, 
Milan has the most horsepower. then it would probably Merlier and then Bingan. I don’t think 
he has the top end that Jonathan Milan does. Uh but Jonathan’s got himself in a bad spot right 
now to be involved in the sprint finish today. Uh Summit Odyssey saying I know what you’re saying. 
Uh Floike. Maybe you spelled flowike twice   there. The first letter twice. I know what you’re 
doing. It’s okay. Uh, bring it back to TSN. Yeah, dude. I understand. Dude, I I stopped my Flow 
Bike membership for a while. Uh, to be honest, I only got it back because I decided 
I was going to do this. Uh, and guys,   it’s been a huge success. Um, I’m going to keep 
doing it. I’m going to keep doing it. I’m going to do every race I can until I see you guys 
saying, “Uh, we don’t watch this anymore.” And then I’ll just pack it in. Uh Tony C, I can 
see in the near future live cameras on all of the top riders where you can watch your favorite 
full-time NASCAR does this now with drivers. Yeah, dude. I guess the only way they can hold out maybe 
is they’ll say they’ll argue wait. Obviously, if you’re in a 2,000lb NASCAR with driver fuel 
loads, adding 400 grams is not a big deal. But to a rider, they would probably lose their minds. But 
yeah, probably if they can get the camera down to   like say one gram and have the UCI enforce it and 
then charge people access to different cameras. Oh man. Okay, we I guess we’ll never watch the tour 
of France again. Uh okay, Colonel MG Vanderpool is back in 30th. So he’s no threat to the GC today, 
guys. Uh five riders at the front. The Vanderpool group has lost a bit of time here. Uh I’m I’m 
surprised that Vanderpool and Bart cannot bring them back right now. 37 seconds. Uh, but noticing 
that the front group is more on the descent, the downhill. Uh, these guys are just finishing 
cresting over a bit of a a hilly area. They’re going to start bombing downhill. That they should 
bring that time. It’s out to 40 seconds now. So, they’re going to have to make a big effort to 
try to get back on now. I’m watching the time   drop right now. It went 40 seconds. 38 36 35 
seconds. They’re coming down a hill. So the accordion effect is coming back like this now. 
The front guys are going to start climbing. Watch their time start dropping. So they’re going to 
start a little bump. Going to show you here. Uh let’s get right back to it. Uh 
hard to see there, but there’s a bump right here that’s unclassified 
that I would say is a category 4.   So, group one is technically climbing a 
category 4 climb right now. Uh, 35 seconds, 36 seconds. I It should come down to under 30, 
I would imagine. Uh, and then the boys are going to start getting radio communication 
from the teams. Now is the time to go. Uh, Matt Perau here. Okay. Where’d Matt go? 
Sorry, Matt. I lost you here. It’s sad that it’s only on Flow Bikes. We need it back 
on TSN. Yeah, Matt, I remember those days,   too. Matt’s from uh Eastern Canada. Matt, you 
in Ontario or Quebec? I forget. I think you’re on the Ontario side or you’re the very English 
side. You said you’re the English version of Pro,   not the French version. Need to get the 
average casual fan back to watching. Yeah, dude, that’s true. Like, I know people that just 
watch casually. Oh, yeah. I watched a few stages   and they don’t know anything about cycling, 
but they like the spectacle of it. They like the scenery. Uh, okay, Vizma. But with racing 
like this, it will be a mega mega hard day in the final. The hardest part still to come. 
Try to do it saving a little bit of energy,   guys. So, they’re expecting it to get crazy at the 
front. Watching again four Premier Tech riders at the front and the entire EF team is up there. 
Uh they’re doing all the work today, which is expected. Uh Premier Tech is probably trying to 
keep it hard right now. They’ve got something in mind for later in the stage. We still have 33.6 
km to go. And I’m really glad that my feed here is very close on that. Uh it’s very hard watching 
here, watching here, especially when I know what’s happened here and then I’m trying to watch 
there. That’s why when I’m doing the sprints,   guys, I’m kind of avoiding that and just calling 
it how I see it, how I would normally do it. Machu Vanderpool is worthy of some kind of 
jersey. He makes for great TV. There’s a bike race happening when that dude breaks because he doesn’t 
do those fake brakes. Pool is deadly powerful. Oh yeah, dude. Favorite cyclist. Back in the old 
days, they used to have like the combination   jersey. So, it was like a mesh mash of jersey. It 
had a white splotch, a red splot, a green splash, and a yellow splash. I think it had a polka dot 
as well. I think it disappeared in the ‘9s. It was kind of like for the best overall rider, which 
I think is important. They should bring that back, too. They should bring that back. Uh, who’s the 
best rider ranked in all the categories, you know, because in the old days, if you were the best time 
trialist, you could win the tour to France, hands   down. Uh, then it became if you were the best 
climber, you could win the hands the time the tour to France, hands down. Uh, so they’re trying to 
develop it more. I think right now it leads more to uh shorter, faster racing. And for climbers, 
time traveling has been forgotten about. They’ve eliminated the teen chime trial alto together. 
Uh I hope when it comes back it sticks around. Five at the front, guys. The time is coming down 
just like I thought it would. We’re at 25 seconds   right now. And again, this all goes through the 
bumps. The first group is on the bump ahead. The other guys are in the little valley behind 
them. They’re probably able to see them at times. Uh okay. Okay, I like this here. Uh, who’s 
this guy? Uh, Geyser, I guess. Who’s in the lead group? Lead group, dude. We’ve had 
three guys from the beginning. Burgau,   Mororrow Schmidt, and Abrahamson for UNOX. 
And then about halfway through, Fred Wright, and Dan David Ballerini caught up 
to form a group of five. There’s a   second group of five chasing. Check this 
out. Vanderpool, Quinn Simmons, Wenard, Laurance, and Arnold Dele. Really good to 
see the Lee up here too representing lotto. Uh yeah, that green jersey group is falling behind 
hard now. Okay, the green jersey group is growing rapidly, guys. After the rest day, maybe the legs 
are a little bit sore. The rest day is really hard on the riders. That’s why they still go ride two 
or three hours on the rest day. Guys, I rode 45 minutes yesterday and that was enough. These guys 
are doing two to three hours at a minimum. Uh, but coming back from rest day, it can be really 
hard. If you watch a lot of interviews and you   follow cycling a long time, most of the cyclists 
would say they don’t even want a rest day. I’m seeing an Arca rider here getting a bike change. 
Trying to check the number hopefully. Okay, it’s is a rider Armory Capio Arca B&B. I thought 
it was Kevin Vocal on it first there. Uh, I guess if he had a mechanical, there would have 
been another teammate there. 45 riders in the back group right now. Jonathan Milan’s there. 
Bingham’s surviving in the main pelaton. So, Bingham’s doing a really good job staying away. 
The problem is he needs to get to the front end to   win the stage. Maybe he’s just hoping to get more 
points than score some points and Milan will score none today. Uh because the points do pay out quite 
a ways down. 50 points for first place today, guys. I think 30 for second. Uh, and they go down 
to probably 20th place today. So, Bingham could have a chance at those points. Um, Robert asking, 
“Was it Carlos Sasser whose victory celebrations was putting a baby’s pacifier in his mouth?” 
Were Dude, that’s what I was thinking. Yeah, puts a baby’s pacifier in his mouth. The one I 
was thinking of actually, Robert, was this one. Why do they all do that? What’s that from? is 
I’m thinking it’s from another sport. But why   would you be why would you be shushing everyone if 
you win the stage? Yeah, one Antonio Fletcher. It doesn’t get any better than that. The shooting 
the aerial arrow Fletcher guy means Fletcher’s   guys means arrow. So it’s it’s really cool. Uh 
yeah, I never like that finish either. Why would you have a baby pacifier? You carried that the 
whole way just to do that? Not memorable to me. Uh yeah, Matt saying win a stage for that. Yeah, that 
really good question that Tony asked. And Tony,   I I didn’t make the poll, but yeah, guys, shoot 
some more poll ideas at me. Um you can jump guys tomorrow. So, I think you can leave comments 
in the live stream feed like the even if I’m not live, you can go in there and drop a comment 
in there. pretty sure cuz I’ve done it without   being streaming live. If you’ve got any cool 
polls like that, that really helps out guys. So, I love it guys. 370 people, 323 watching now. 
It’s bouncing up and down. Uh, so Matt saying win a stage hands down. When finished 50th, 
win a stage. Nobody remembers seventh. Okay, I do agree with that, but seventh looks good on 
your Palomares. Uh, so yeah, winning a stage for me would be number two. I would rather be on the 
winning team as the dude that helped the other   guy win. Like the main guy, like be the George 
Hen Cappy to uh Lance Armstrong. That’s who I that would be me. Then I’d win a stage and then 
I would finish seventh being the director. Yeah, come on. I would be that guy though, Greca. Uh 
Jeff saying, “Personally, I would rather finish seventh GC with no wins because it means I’m 
getting a GC paycheck.” That’s true. And the team wants dudes in the top 10. Most people aren’t 
going to remember who finished eighth or ninth, but in all the stats and UCI points, uh 
rankings, it’s recognized. Then you can say to potential sponsors, “Hey guys, we got a 
potential GC contender.” That goes a long ways for sponsorship. What does that mean? It means 
you’re going to see your name more and more   every day. Our guy is going to be talked about 
every day if he really is a GC contender. So, that’s why I thought to that would be my number 
two pick. Uh GC 7th. Uh yep. Uh Colonel RPG here, dude. You’re good with your cycling stuff. Uh 
yeah, Almighty is gaining notoriety as a super   domestic. Could mean good things. Yeah, he could 
be leading his own his own team hands down, guys. Looking back here again now. 22nd gap group. 
22nd gap back to the Vanderpole group. Okay, looks like things are changing in the 
front. Premier Tech has disappeared,   but uh Groupama FDJ now sitting on the front with 
the EF boys. Then I’m seeing some Vizma riders and a lot of white jerseys. So I got to think that’s 
the UAE team just hanging out at the front,   keeping Tatty out of trouble. Remember 
guys, if you’re new to this, they won’t be fighting for the yellow jersey today. Uh the 
GC contenders, the guys that actually want to   win the tour to France will be just staying 
safe. Their days are coming tomorrow. Uh Sastra also one of the most forgettable tour 
champions. CSC Tuscali, I really like the team. Uh I think it was CSC Tuscali that introduced 
Cerello to the world. really. So, Survell is a Canadian brand. I think it only was developed in 
the late 90s. Uh, it hasn’t been around very long. Okay. Team Radio Lotto Champion. Champion. 
You’re going to get a top result today. So,   they’re cheering on they must be cheering on 
there must be a lot rider in the front. Oh, I think they’re cheering on Arnold. They’re 
cheering on Arnold Dele because I see him   riding with Quinn Simmons here. So, they’re really 
encouraging, guys. See, that’s how important this stuff is. just like they’re constantly in their 
ears cheering them on. This guy is gonna get to the front. And you know what? If Arnold Lee gets 
to the front, uh he might be one of the fastest   sprinters left here. Like I’d say he’s slightly 
more of a sprinter than Matthew Vanderpole. Uh Vanderpole, but if Vanderpole goes at a kilometer 
from the finish, Arnold won’t keep up. If it gets la left to the last little bit, you never know. 
Uh I would give a slight edge to Arnold Delete if he’s on form. Uh, vote Van Art there, too. Uh, he 
does have an incredible sprint, but it’s not the best sprinter in the world sprint. It’s kind of a 
long range sprint. Again, it depends on the day,   too. Dawn’s back from kickboxing. Hopefully didn’t 
crack anyone in the head there, Dawn. Ruben, dude. Bro, love it, dude. Reuben’s supporting 
Joey’s birthday today, guys. Thank you so much, Reuben. Uh, guys, Reuben’s been with me forever. 
Forever. I think Ruben was one of the very very first supporters of my channel. Uh he’s my Belgian 
bro. He’s recovering from a horrible crash he had. Uh think he’s really struggling with it, but 
he’s watching the channel. So I love it. Reuben uh Natto Res is asking how about Bingham. 
Bingham is still in the yellow jersey group. Could be in contention for points. I’m gonna 
look back here again. It’s a good question,   dude. Thanks for asking that. So, we’re seeing 
Jonathan Milan back here. Tim is back there with him. So, I think Benam is the only one. I’m going 
to have a quick scan here. Phil Bow House is back here. I’m looking for an intermareteer group 
uh rider here. So, they’re pretty easy to see because that’s great. There’s Paige. Rex Rooch is 
back here. He was hurt really bad a few days ago. Had a huge crash. Anyways, Bingham’s not in this 
group. So, Bingham is in the yellow jersey group up here. Let’s see when we can find him. I hate to 
say he’s here and then him not be here. Um, let’s have a quick peek here, guys. Looking, looking, 
looking. I got 117 riders to go through. So, if I scroll too fast, they just vanish before 
my eyes. Oh, that is bright on my face. Please stop that. That’s really bright. I got to tone 
that down. I feel it blinding me right now. Okay, I don’t see where Bingham is here, guys, but 
I’m positive he’s in this group. How hard is Oh, there he is right there. Bingam is in the 117 
rider Pelaton, the main group, who are uh 2 minutes and 57 seconds ahead of Jonathan Milan. 
So, Bingum, smart riding today. Smart riding today by Bingham. I just want to have a look. I haven’t 
looked at my OBS for a while. One thing I did today that helped, I turned off my circle light, 
the ring light. I absolutely It’s not even on. So, this is the glow off of three screens. I think 
that’s good enough. We’ve got it all figured out, folks. And this little one that I kind of turned 
to Reuben, thank you so much, dude. Yeah. Again,   guys, Reuben has been here since day one uh of the 
channel. Yeah, dude. Thank you. Colonel RPG. Oh, is this catchable? Okay, I’m going 
to go back here, guys. 19 seconds. I gotta think that the Vanderpool group, Vout 
group, Quinn Simmons is going to catch the   front group of five. You got to think, uh, 
you know, when you look at the groups power, Quinn Simmons has been a beast. Van Art, another 
beast of a rider. You think they would have the horsepower to catch the front five. Not taking any 
away from these five, but if if I needed two guys to lead me out or drag me along all day, they’re 
in this group. Matu Vanderpool and Bo Vanard. I would pick those two right there. Like, dude, I 
need you to draft me all day long. We’re going to   go 200k. I’m not going to do anything. I’m sitting 
on those guys wheels all day long because I know they’ll just do it and they have the ability. 
Pelon 2 minutes and 15 seconds back. I think it’s gone now, guys. I think it’s gone. Uh there 
will be a sprint finish for the sprinters that are trying to gain any points back. Uh big tactical 
error today for Jonathan Milan by not being at the front. He might be feeling rough after and let’s 
just say Jonathan Milan the Trek team. Uh they should have done a better job to keep him near the 
front. Maybe he just can’t do it today again. And I love seeing this. Vault Vanart Machu Vanderpool 
riding side by side at the front taking turns. Cyclacross warriors. They’ve battled each other 
for since they were teenagers in the Cyclacross world. They both graduated to the World Tour. 
Uh and what an impressive job they’ve done. Like superstars of the world tour for sure. 
Best thing that ever happened was those guys   coming from Cyclacross. Uh having said that, I 
do watch a lot of Cyclacross now, too. Uh getting into the chat again. Jeff’s asking about Bingham. 
Bingham’s he’s in the right spot. He’s probably going to be the best of the sprinters today, I 
would assume, if they can bring this back a bit   more. And so 10 pos Okay, guys, let’s do this 
here. Uh, we’re going to come back here. Sorry, I’m getting blasted by the sun here. We’re 
doing the route again. Let’s just check the Too to stage. And we go to the sporting stakes. 
Let’s see what the bonifications are like. I know that’s a weird word. Green jersey at the 
end is 50th, 30 for second. Are they going to catch the front 10 riders? I don’t know. 
So again, it looks like it pays down to probably 15. So the first 10 spots on Bignya 
might be racing for seven, eight points, six points, something like that. Uh but he 
needs something. I said earlier he needs to get points out of the intermediate sprint. 
He lost one more to Jonathan Milan today. Uh Tony, a good poll question makes you really 
think about it. Thanks for your input, including chatters with variant answers. Sounds like we 
could make a team. Dude, Tony, send me more. Dude,   I Tony, you’re I’m asking you as nice as I can. 
Think of a good one for tomorrow and I’ll put it up for the first poll of the day tomorrow. 
We could even get it running tonight. So,   generally what I do, guys, do my thing. chores, 
ride my bike, skip my program I’m taking. Not doing that right now. I’m way more interested in 
this. Uh then I start getting ready for tomorrow. I told Joey on rest day, I’m like, I hate to 
complain, but it seems like a full-time job. It seems like a full-time job. Just the constant, 
you know, but love it. Love it. Make it my job, guys. Make it my job. Almost 400 people watching 
right now, guys. Uh Gap still hold. So, these five dudes out front are doing an incredible 
job holding back. Two of the strongest cycle cyclists in the Pelaton. Um, they’re holding that 
gap at 26 seconds. They know if they come back, uh, they’re in big trouble. The Pelaton is 
2 and a half minutes behind. So, yeah, guys, the Pelaton is not catching these guys today 
unless everyone gets to the front and starts   working. Now we’re 21 km to the finish. Using the 
great uh the untouchable Phil Ligot rule of thumb, you’re going to bring back one one minute for 
every 10 km. That’s about what the Pelaton can do. We’re 21 kilometers now out now. They have 
a two and a half minute lead. So now is the time that those teams that are in the third group on 
the road, the yellow pel yellow jersey group, they need to light the afterburners now if they 
think they’re going to have a chance of catching   these guys. Uh the thing about this one is they 
don’t need to catch them. There’s no one in these groups that are dangerous to them. So the f 
first group, lowest place rider is 53rd at 42 minutes back. and he’s only, if you look at this 
here, from the front to the Pelaton, it’s uh a 3 minute and 23 second group. So that guy in the 
front right now, if you stop the race right now,   he’s still 39 minutes behind them. Uh the second 
group, highest place rider is Vanderpool. He’s 28 and a half minutes back. Stop the race right now, 
he would still be 26 seconds behind Ben Haley. So now you can see why the pelaton might just 
say, “Yeah, you know what? Uh, we just remembered that the hotcom’s tomorrow and there’s another 
catwan climb there and I think there’s two other   categorized climbs there. Uh, we’re getting closer 
to Spain. It’s only going to get hotter. Uh, maybe we just kind of take it easy now. So, 
it’s going to be between these two groups of five at the front. It yet to be It remains to be 
seen if they can catch that front group there. So yeah, Tony, again, thanks for the 
poll. I I got to think of some better   ones for David. That was a really good one 
today. Really, really good one today. Tony, I think you got a lot more good ones than 
you. Uh throw them my way if you can. Yep. Robert here. French guy. Lance hanging 
with some big boys in that group of five. I   think we’re talking about the second group of 
five here. Yeah, Lance is there. Yeah, totally. 52nd overall. Really good for Inos Grenaders. 
Uh it’s not going to be a standout tour for them. That’s just the way it is. The team is 
in total transition with the total energy thing   happened. Garren Thomas retiring. Uh their highest 
highest place rider right now is Carlos Rodriguez at 13th though. So I think he’s going to be 
fighting for one of those top 10 positions. Uh I think there’s like six or seven riders 
now. They’re going to have an awesome battle   uh over the next week, two weeks here. 
We got left, not even two weeks left, guys. Okay. And you know saying this group 
will take the stage, win. Be smart, be tough, and trust your instincts. And so they’re 
talking to the group of five, the second group. So they are talking to the Bonderpull group 
here because Laurance is there. They’re the team cars are determined convinced that this 
group will catch the front group of five. These guys up front must be tired, too. The front 
trio have been away since the flag dropped.   The second the two that joined them chased for 
half the race to get on. These guys have all blown through a lot of energy already. Candles, 
matches gone. You’ve only got so much to burn, folks. Still holding 20 seconds, though. 
We got two little climbs left. I can see   uh Vanderpool putting in a huge effort on 
these climbs to reel them right back in. Uh yeah, Dawn, great great com. Best dome 
domestique of our generation is George Henapy, US national champ. Ushered his leader to seven 
tour wins. Yeah, totally, dude. Even if they didn’t get the credit. Yeah, they were all there. 
Those teams were so awesome. Uh George Hen Copy,   he’s still a super cool dude. He’s involved in 
everything. Uh really looking forward to seeing like the official launch of the new team. Uh it 
won’t be a world tour team. They’re going to have to fight their way to get to the world tour. I I 
hope that’s their goal. It’s probably going to be   like a continental team to start with and then 
it’s the same as the continental level teams. They have to earn enough points in races like 
they would race. So a continental continental team would race just in the states. The one 
continental team I can think of right now   is like pro uh is Echelon, Project Echelon. 
Uh that’s a team I just saw they run at the Gastan Grand Prix. They’re going to go to races 
all over North America. That’s probably their   area. Win points. Uh the Hen Cappy slash maybe 
Armstrong team, they’ll be doing the same thing to get points to get a pro card. Once you get 
a pro card, you could get an invite invite to one of the big races. Without a pro card, you 
ain’t coming. Uh it depends how big the race is. Uh some of the smaller tours will invite 
Conti teams up to them. So it used to be Conti, Continental, and Pro Conti, Procontinental. 
Now they’ve gone world tour proc continental. Okay, so group one back down in the valley. 
They’ll start climbing again soon. And Vanderpool group is at 20 seconds. So I’m liking this. So I 
I play the the gaps on the hills. I’m seeing what   the distance the time gap is now at the bottom 
of the hill where the Vanderpool group is coming down. They should pull more time back now because 
they’re descending more as the group ahead is   starting to climb. This gives them a chance to 
according it back down. Bring that rubber band back in. I do this when I ride my bike myself. 
If I see a dude behind me or I’m chasing someone, I watch the profile and going, he’s got 30 
seconds on me on this hill. How much will he   have left at the bottom of the next hill? And 
I can start seeing, am I gaining or not? So, and again, it all depends on the efforts. But 
if they were if they were all working equally, these guys should start bringing it down on the 
downhill section, just traveling at higher speeds. Uh after the Vanderpool group, Vanderpool 
group, it’s three minutes back to the Pelon,   guys. They’ve shut her down. They had their 
funing games earlier. Uh and the green jersey is four minutes off the back of the Pelon. Looks 
like the uh Polka Dot jerseys back here, too. Lenny Martinez is back here. That’s okay. this 
today didn’t really mean a lot to him. So, still hovering at 20 seconds. See what I’m getting here? 
Yeah, still 20 seconds into the last 20 km. The best seat in the house. Watching the tour go by, 
folks. What does this look like? A little VW van. What do you guys think? Speaking of which, have 
you seen the new VW vans? I really like them. Uh, okay. Jeff here. Good comment, Jeff. Jeff is 
saying, “I hate to tell you, but review the tape   on Yasper Phillips’s acceleration to the line. 
Nobody is as fast as Yasper. Period. Yasper is the new Mark Caendish.” Okay, I can appreciate 
that. I’ll have to go back and look at someone,   dude. Uh, see their sprints. I’ve just seen 
I I don’t think I actually saw Yasper’s top end speeds. And of course, that depends on 
how what kind of sprint finish it is. How many miles The highest speeds I’ve seen this 
year has been out of uh Jonathan Milan. So, I guess we’re t we’re saying two different things, 
Jeeoff. You’re saying his acceleration. Yeah,   it could be Asper. Uh Jonathan just seems to be 
able to hit a higher top end. That doesn’t mean he’s going to win the stages, especially if he 
times it wrong. Uh, if they’re side by side doing 70k an hour, Yasper could get the jump on him and 
win if he times it right. Uh, Jonathan seems to be able to get 3 4K an hour more than the other 
riders right now, but he’s got to time it. Today, didn’t time it right at all since he’s currently 
7 minutes and 47 seconds behind the leaders. So, yeah, different ways of looking at sprinting. Some 
of it’s all out power, top end speed. Other parts of it are acceleration. If you leave the sprint 
late, uh, and you don’t have the acceleration, but you got the speed, that guy that’s actually 
slower than you top end might win over you. He can just accelerate, get a gap, and he wins before 
you start winding it up. Okay, watching the front group here right now. Uh they are climbing the cap 
the Kote Devel Tulus uh category 4 climb. So it’s nothing much at all. Looks like it’s just over 
1.2 kilometers long. We’re only uh 15 km to the finish, guys. And yeah, the feed today is right 
on track today. Uh I’m only 400 meters behind. So it’s going to be the same as before. I’ll call 
that into the finish. I don’t think there’ll be   any fight over the top for these points, too. Uh 
but the boys behind they’re on the same climb. It is a 21 second gap. So the boys up front are 
doing a really good job. They they’ve got their alliance right now. They are frenemies to the 
end right now. Those five up front are like we   have to do everything possible to stay away today. 
They know if they get caught by Machu Vanderpool, uh Bart Quinn Simmons, they’re probably not going 
to win. So here’s a chance for these five right now. You’ve got a 20% chance of winning a stage at 
the Tour to France. It’s like dump everything now. Bottles are getting thrown out. Gel packs. 
It’s getting all thrown out now, folks. Uh Tonyy’s agreeing with Don. Could not agree 
with you anymore. George was the man. Yeah,   he really was. Yeah. Uh they do resonate here. 
Benny is in that uh he’s not in the lead group, but he’s with the GC. All of the other sprinters 
are out the back right now. All of the other big   sprinters. So, Bingham has a chance to pick up 
some points. They’re the leftover points that are real. Remember, it pays down first to 15th. 
Uh I think 15th is one point. First is 50. So, you really want to be in the front. The 
problem is the first 10 spots will all be   gone by the time Bignyang gets there. 
I was going to grab a coffee. I guess I’m sticking with cold coffee today 
because we’ve only got 14 km to go. Oh yeah, it’s cold, but it’s delicious today. Oh, dude. I do. Robert, great point here. Robert, 
you’re number one in the chat today now. Oh, I’m watching, guys. Quinn Simmons is on the 
attack. Quinn Simmons is on the attack here   over the top here. And I’m just waiting 
to see. Yeah, they’ve just mentioned it, too. 1647. So, yeah, I’m very live with 
what’s going on here right now with the tour.   Sometimes the stream gets behind. Quinn’s 
going for the points on this category 4 and I think he’s going to put in a huge attack 
and try to bridge back on. The others did   not go with him. So Quinn has a gap already 
of 7 seconds over two of the strongest guys in the Pelaton. The other five up front are 
probably being told, “Hey, Quinn’s coming.” So Quinn put in a huge attack there, 
guys. I’m going to probably zoom   in a bit here. Uh just so you can see 
what’s going on. They haven’t shown Oh, they are showing Quinn separate. 
That’s Quinn Simmons there. And so this is the Vanderpull group here. Now that 
we’re so zoomed in, it’s hard to really see where   they are. Uh okay. Yeah, Quinn’s over the top. 
I didn’t know he attacked that early. So Quinn’s going all in. He’s He really wants the stage win. 
So from the front right now to the Pelton 342. I’m seeing that right on TV here right now. Head of 
the course. Looks like we’ve got two riders here. I think yeah, the front five are splitting up, 
guys. The front five have split up already in the   Pelon. We’ve got UnoX now taking their turn on the 
front because they’ve got a guy up front. EF’s up there. Alpas’s up there. Movar’s up there. Vizma’s 
up there on the left hand side. Yona sitting in second place uh doing the category 4 climb up the 
coat there. Still got one more climb to go. Quinn Simmons 18 seconds behind. So guys, this is the 
thing. Quinn Simmons makes the move. What if he doesn’t make it? He’s just burnt all that energy 
for nothing. Looks good on TV. We love it. It’s hard on him. So yeah, I think there’s a split 
in these front five that they’re not showing. So, the front group of five, just looking 
at the replay here, which is pretty much   close to where we’re at. Uh, those five blew 
apart, guys. It’s got the Uno X rider and the JCO Alula rider on the front, Schmidt and 
Abrahamson. The three are off the back,   and those three are kind of splintered up as 
well. They’re chasing on the downhill. I’m trying to figure out if they all come 
back together. Uh, yeah, right here. The other chasers have caught Ballerini. Abramson 
leads the way to the summit. So, it’s evolving really quickly here, guys. Maybe I can see it 
better here. You can see how close we are getting to the finish now. One more climb. Group one, 
they’re saying it’s still Schmidt and Abrahamson. So, again, they have not been caught. Uh, when 
you come back here, okay, they are showing it correctly. I wasn’t showing correctly there for 
a bit. What I’m seeing on my live stream is we’ve   got two riders off the front, a UNOX rider. Uh 
guys, they’ve never won a stage at the Tour to France. This uh Norwegian Pro Series team, they’re 
not even a World Tour team. Uh he is with Okay, whenever I get up there, I can’t see him. Uh Moral 
Schmidt for Jolula. Both these riders are way down in the standings. Can they work together over the 
final uh kilometers in this race and pull it off? Abramson got the points going over the top for 
You know X there. I think he took points earlier   today too. Uh probably just a couple of points in 
total today. Second group who are really close. Quinn Simmons, Burjido, and Fred Wright. We’ve 
lost one rider. There was five in that front group. Simmons has bridged on. Somehow he did it. 
Uh, and one of the riders is gone. Further back, group three, Vanderpole, Laurance, uh, Ballerini, 
Arnold Delely, Vanart. I feel like I’m missing one rider. There should be five up the road. 
There should be six up the road. Two here. Uh, maybe some. And there there is five up here. And 
then there’s five in the chase group. Okay. So,   I’ve just misplaced where one I think it was 
maybe Ballerini. Yeah, Ballerini has fallen onto that front group and Simmons has left this 
group and rejoined the front end trying to get to the very front going for a stage victory, folks. 
9.6 kilometers to the finish. Guys, this Okay, and you know what, guys? I’ll watch every day of 
the tour to France. I love every day of the tour   to France. It’s the most wonderful time of the 
year. Uh I wasn’t expecting this today. I thought, well, you know, it’s going to be like a little 
cruisy. guys are, you know, recovering after the rest day. Yeah, you need to recover from the rest 
day and I thought it would be a sprint. All out   Jonathan Milan sprint. They blew that today. Uh, 
this stage was pretty much designed for sprinters. Probably like a 60% sprint chance, 40% breakaway 
chance. Uh, yeah, Robert’s got a great comment here. Watching close. Two guys up front. Uno, Jake 
Ola. Come on, boys. Let’s go. I am so cheering for these guys now. So cheering for them. It’s 23 
seconds between those front two and the Chasers. Quinn Simmons, Burgdor, and Fred Wright. 
I think uh the front boys are lucky that   Vanard and Matt weren’t there. Uh but that’s how 
the game plays, folks. Schmidt and Abramson have been on the front all day long. They have been on 
the front all day long. They deserve to win this baby. They deserve it. Catching up. Uh Robert 
saying, “Remember Hen Cappy sitting up with   the handlebars in his hands of Rube crashing 
the ditch one second later.” Yeah, guys. He’s riding Peru Bay. George was always really good at 
Peru Bay. I think he got a second place one year,   I think. Uh he was a classics guy, kind of a 
bigger rider. Handlebars snap off in his hands and he’s riding and then then he just crashes into 
the ditch because he had no control. I do remember   that. Skagan watches are fancy. Okay. Uh, okay. 
Trying to get back. Trying to get back, guys. Ah. I’m losing it. I’m losing it. 
I’m losing it. So busy here,   guys. Whoa. So busy. Uh, I’m so back. So far back. Colonel RPG. Nice chill knowledge stream. I’m 
in, dude. We love having you here. Love having   you here. Uh over 400 people watching. EF team 
needs to lead. Yeah, that Pelon the Pelaton’s so far behind now. 3 minutes and 40 seconds back from 
these two warriors at the front. Uh guys, I think they’re going to hold him off. My I’m praying for 
UNOX to get the win. Nothing against JCO Alula or Mororrow Schmidt, but UNOX has never got a win. 
The guys over at UNOX will be just like losing their minds in the car. Okay, so Matt’s from 
Ontario. Abump. Abump is in the road according to Inspector Cluso. Okay. Dawn saying the tour 
of Russia. Is there an actual tour of Russia? Benny is in the yellow jersey group. Uh but they 
are 3 minutes and 40 seconds behind the leaders. Uh the guys that are going to win the stage 
today are at the front absolutely smashing it. Uh okay. So correct. The name of 
that jersey was the most combative. Yeah, Robert. Uh, didn’t team Lobby Claire kind of 
end the combination jersey? I think they existed at the same time. Maybe that’s why they got rid 
of it. Uh, the jerseys were very similar in color. I’ll have to look. I thought I see I remember 
Steven Rooks wearing that combination jersey and I think he was around into the early 90s. I think 
so. And I think Lavy Claire was gone by the early 90s. Seeing Machu Vanderpool Machu Vanderpool is 
breaking away out of his group he’s in. Let’s have a look at the the map here, guys. It And they’re 
not even showing everything. So, group three. Wow. They’re showing group here being caught by 
the Pelaton almost immediately. Is that real? Uh, yeah, it is, guys. It is. Pelon’s flying now. 
Vanderpool’s gone. Vanderpool’s gone by himself, guys. It’s the whole race is just falling. 
Like the group that was chasing just hit   the they just hit the brakes. It’s like they 
stomp they pulled the E bra. Uh so here here’s the situation at the moment. Mororrow Schmidt, 
Abrahamson been in the breakaway all day long.   This is what happens when you take chances. 
Camponarts is driving the front for Vizma, driving the speed up, keeping Yonas 
safe. EF is there as well. UNOX losing their minds right now. 7 km to go, guys. 
Vanderpool is 27 seconds back riding solo. Chasing group 33 seconds back. We got Vout, 
Burgo, and Laurance. And then it’s, see here, it’s still 245 back to the Pelon. So, this group 
here, group three to the Pelon is not being represented very well here on the screen. They’re 
they’re further ahead of them than that. Uh, it’s   saying it’s 244 back to the Pelon from chase group 
three. That makes more sense to me. Uh, where Quinn Simmons gone at this point? I don’t know. 
He’s kind of vanished out of these groups. He was 25 seconds behind the leaders. 24 seconds back 
to Machu Vanderpool. You got to think these guys can hold off Matthew Vanderpole to the finish. And 
yeah, I’m all in on Abramson. All in on Abramson. Uh Tony C. I think if you ever stop this 
broadcast, you will be in front of your screen   still talking out loud about everything you’re 
seeing. Yeah, probably, dude. Probably. Uh John’s laughing here. John knows all the race coverage 
I’ve done. I just love doing this stuff, guys. Uh, Luth. Okay, Luke’s been here before. Luke 
Earthwalker, I think was here like on some   of the earlier stages. Uh, the TTT is a 
beautiful thing. I miss seeing it. Yeah, me too, dude. It’s coming back next year. 
Abel’s with the uh yellow jersey right now.   Matthew Vanderpole chasing hard. He’s got it 
down to 22 seconds, guys. He’s got it down to 22 seconds. Matthew Vanderpole chasing them 
hard. I’m going to go into this mode right   now. Here is where we’re at. Uh, really hard turn 
coming up here. Looks like a 120 degree corner. Robert saying, “My first sergeant gave me the day 
off to watch the 87 TT in Berlin. Magnificent. So loud.” Awesome, dude. So, Robert was in the 
military at some point there. Leaders approaching that hard corner now. They’re going to go through 
here very gingerly knowing Matthew Vanderpole is breathing down their neck here, folks. Uh there 
is a bit of a roundabout to go through. So, a couple of hard corners, a roundabout to skirt 
through, and then it’s just kind of a gradual run into the finish. One left bend. Doesn’t look too 
sketchy at the finish here. Who’s cheering for you with me? Who is cheering for Matthew Vanderpool 
has a down, guys? I think the freight train’s   coming. The freight train might be coming. Can 
Matthew Vanderpool pack pull back 15 seconds and 5 km? Heck yeah. Heck yeah, he can. Yeah, 
Benny can climb, Don. Totally. Benny is able to climb with these guys. Uh just unfortunately 
he’s not going to be in the points today. He will get some points. He will get some points. I 
shouldn’t say that. Uh there’s only two, three, uh six riders ahead of him. So he just has to be 
at the front at the finish to pick up some points. Uh James, hello from Hey James, back from 
Corsica again. James, I was saying earlier   I did a ride on Ruby yesterday in Corsica. 
Uh I think it was called like Portinello to Pomello or something. I can’t remember now. Uh 
Don saying I I agree being on the winning team top 10 finish and a stage win goals of a cyclist. 
Folks parlay a stage win into training camps and commentators. I wonder if I could parlay 
this into a stage win. I might do that. Uh Interface needs to make a move or they maybe face 
Okay, Intermar. I think that’s what they’re saying   there. Just a typo. Okay, so Vanderpool’s coming, 
guys. 14 seconds. He’s got four kilometers to go. I just want to show you on the map how absolutely 
close they are. This is insanity. Like they’re on the same straightaway right now, guys. Same 
straightaway. That Uno X guy, he’s like,   “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.” 
They’ve never won a stage at the Tour to France, guys. Uh they’re a wildcard team. This could 
really boost them. uh in UCI standings. This is crazy. This is absolutely 15 seconds. They’re 
holding him. They’re just telling it, “Dude, dude, you better do the time trial of your life right 
now and hope that Mororrow Schmidt tires out.” Mororrow Schmidt is wearing a Swiss national 
champion. I’m not sure what he’s the Swiss   national champion of road race or time trial. 
Hopefully not time trial right now. Uh again, I hate to vote for root for one guy, but I’m 
rooting for that X dude. Yonas second from the   front right now. Staying out of trouble. Jonathan 
Nyz I think is just sitting out ahead of them. Jay Taylor saying morning is here now. Uh Sylvia’s 
asking can vouch still win? Not today. It’s going to be a Uno X rider. Uh there’s been a crash 
further back guys. One rider went down. That sucks. Oh, it’s Tatty. Tatty’s down guys. 
Tatty’s down solo by himself right now. Oh, a little bit of bad luck for Tatty. It 
does happen, folks. And the Pelaton she   go. Tatty’s way off the back right now. He gets 
helped by neutral service. There’s not even a UAE car there. Thank you, Shimano, for being 
there for Tatty. Thank you, Shimano. Tatty’s getting back on. He’s probably screaming 
into the radio now. Tatty is off the back,   folks. Uh, this is a bit of a replay, so 
we’re going to see what happens here. Oh, boys. If I was in that pelon right now, I’d be 
like, let’s rock, everyone. What happened here? I don’t I don’t know if someone clipped Tatty’s 
front wheel or he just made a mistake. He was riding right beside the yellow jersey Ben Healey 
there. Yeah. You know what, guys? I’m a new I’m a new racer. I would There’s no There’s no mercy 
now. It’s go time, folks. It’s go time. If you can’t stay up on your bike, you’re gone. Matthew 
Vanderpole. Uh 2.3 km to go, guys. He’s 10 seconds behind these guys. Oh, come on, dudes. As much 
as Matthew Vanderpool is my fa Vanderpool is my favorite cyclist, I don’t want him to win today. 
I want that Uno X guy to win. Come on, Yuno X, bro. Let’s do it. So, yeah, Tatty’s down, guys. 
Uh, Vout can’t win right now. Let’s see what they’re going to do with I would be smashing it 
so hard right now. when you’re going. Hey guys, when you’re going up that hill like the hoticcom 
tomorrow or Saturday’s race up the Super Banair, uh Tatty’s not going to wait for you, right? 
Tatty’s not going to wait for you. Part of being a cyclist is also staying upright. Uh I 
think they’re letting Tatty come back on. Okay, whatever. Whatever, guys. I don’t 
know what you guys think about that,   but I’m kind of over that now. Uh, Abrahamson 
for the win today. I hope so. I really hope so. Oh, yeah. I’m going to have to look at that. Who 
will gain the most riders in uh week three? Uh,   climbers, GC guys will be flying up. 
Matthew Vanderpole still riding solo now, guys. He’s still trying to chase. He’s got 
8 seconds with 1.3 km to go. He’s probably putting down 450 watts all the way to 
the finish here. Just looking majestic. Uh Jay was asking who was talking about 
Philipsson? I forget now, but he’s way down. Dude,   he’s out. Philipsson crashed out on stage 
three. Mororrow Schmidt and the Uno X rider still working together. Fremies to the bitter end. 
They have 900 meters to go with a 9-second lead. I think it’s going to be between the two guys. 
Abrahamson, let’s go, buddy. Let’s go, buddy. Uh, Robert saying, “Close up on a pin on race 
number shows they have the rider name and the   nation flag.” I didn’t notice that. I haven’t 
seen that either, Robert. Good, good catch. Yeah, Jasper’s out. Pete’s got that covered 
there, guys. We’re getting close to the finish   here now. 700 meters to go. Uh, okay. I’m 
700 meters there. I’m over a kilometer here, guys. So, I’m going to just kind of kill 
check catch up with the chat and I’ll tell   you how it goes down here. Uh, cuz I’m 
going to be freaking out. I think it’s still 8 seconds back to match you. Oh, wow. 
Let’s go Quinn. Quinn’s been pulled back now, guys. Poggy rejoined the race. Aided up by 
neutral service. Yep, I saw that happen. Uh, yeah, I like Colonel here, but he’s saying 
he’s not in yellow. They don’t need to wait   for him. If he wanted special treatment, he 
should have the yellow on his back. Yeah, it looks like they all waited for him. Like, 
ooh, I don’t want to see who won. I So, technically right now, oh yes, buddy. I’m going to 
tell you right now, the Uno X bro one. I was like, I don’t want to see it if the other guy wins. Uh, 
congratulations to I think it’s Yonas Abraham. Uh, they’re not showing it. They’re just showing his 
picture right now. Moros Schmidz gets second.   Matthew Vanderpool third. Guys, Matthew Vanderpool 
Pool was 26 seconds behind when he started the Jace. He got it down to 7 seconds. What a 
champion. I’m going to watch the finish here now,   guys. Uh 500 M. So I’m behind by 500 meters. So 
really good today. Mororrow Schmidz in front. Uno X rider sitting on his wheel. Dude, do not 
move. But I can see Matthew Vanderpool about 100 meters back. Matthew Vanderpool about 100 meters 
back. Moros Schmidtz doing all the leading outs. Sprint starting now. UnoX rider gets up out of the 
saddle. Really nice looking gold colored bike he’s riding. Matthew Vanderpool’s coming. The UnoX 
rider has pulled up side by side. It looks like it’s slightly uphill. There’s a fan running around 
in the finish line. It’s going to be tackled,   but he got tackled and slammed by some kind of 
security dude. That was almost as exciting as the finish. That was awesome. Congratulations to 
Abrahamson here. What a superstar, dude. I first stage win at the Tour to France. Uh, not a world 
tour team rising up prolevel team beating the pros at their own game. I love it. Absolutely love 
it. Um, last kilometers. Yeah, we’re done, guys. We’re done here. Uh, I’m just watching it now. The 
next group of riders coming. Quinn’s there. Vout   Vanard’s there. I would imagine Vout can take 
this. Although the Total Energy rider had the jump, but Vout’s getting the diesel up to power 
now. Oh, it looks like maybe it’s Arnold Dele   going to take it. I think that might be Arnold 
Dele there. I think it is. Red jersey for lotto will get fourth place. Yeah, it was fourth place. 
Oh, no. Yep, it is fourth place. Dele. And again, I said earlier, I think the Lee is a bit more 
of a sprinter than Vout is. Uh Vout can hang in the sprints though. No doubt. Wow, that is so 
awesome. first stage win says right here uh right here guys middle of screen the first victory 
for Unex Millie in the tour to France. Okay, this guy just made his career right here. First 
ever win for Unoax Millie at the Tour to France for the team and his first ever stage win. He 
won by about half a wheel length. Unfortunate for Morris Schmidt. And in the background I’m still 
seeing that idiot. So, there was a guy in the SCOD banners where it says Scoda painted on the 
road running around whipping his jacket in the air and some dude dressed up in jeans. I hope it was 
Bernardi no took him down. Uh, you know the uh the   Bernardi No look after the tour to France. Jeans, 
dress shoes, and a white dress shirt. That’s what he always wears. It wasn’t Bernardi. No, but if 
it was, that would have been even better. Uh,   some dude ran out there and slammed him into the 
barriers. Yeah, dude. Take him down. Yeah, he got he definitely got roughed up a little bit. I love 
it. Love it. Rough that dude up, man. Uh yeah, Cole Kane is here again. Uh yeah, that was a great 
finish there. Uno all the way. I was cheering for that dude, guys. First two guys are on the same 
time. Matthew Vanderapole 7 seconds back. Uh it was like half a wheel length. Cole’s just jumping 
in cheering for Norway. Dude, Cole, I cheered that dude on all the way. Uh Vanderpool was very close. 
Vanderpool closed 26 27 seconds in the last 67 km by himself. Uh everyone else fell out. Vanderpool 
was the only one strong enough to chase. Uh as much as Vanderpool is my favorite cyclist, I 
wanted Unoax to win today and I’m glad they   did. Uh Tony C saying being a fan tackled at the 
finish line, not part of my poll question. Dude, that would have been great. What are the chances 
of a fan being tackled? We could have Well,   we guess we can’t have sports betting. I can’t 
even say that. Uh, is Vanderpole win the yellow jersey? Nope. Stage winner today will be uh the 
Uno X rider. Abrahamson and Ben Healey will still be in the yellow jersey. Pogy did crash and I’m 
going to see what happened at the end there. I’d love to see a full full re replay of it. I see Ben 
Healey coming in right now. There’s Jonas right there. H I didn’t see where Pogy finished, but I 
think they waited for him. Guys, you don’t need to wait for him. He’s not in the yellow jersey. He’s 
29 seconds behind. That was your opportunity to take time. Poggy’s not going to remember that you 
waited for him when he’s climbing up uh the Bomb. Guess what? You just He’s on the strong Well, 
maybe he’s not on the strongest team anymore, but he’s got a very strong team, the best funded 
team, the best rider in the world. How many   chances do you need to give them? Uh Robert 
says, “Thank you for uh hosting today.” Yeah, thanks for being here, Robert. You are the number 
one uh person in the chat today. Really appreciate   that. Don saying, “I hope Tatty hasn’t hurt too 
much.” Yeah, I hope Tatty hasn’t hurt all. He’s at the finish line, so I think that front group 
did wave for him. I wouldn’t have uh I don’t think he’s hurt at all. Okay, he I just saw him put his 
hand on Seth’s shoulder, so probably saying, “Hey, thanks.” I’m going to watch it again. Okay. 
Looking back at the replay, I think Tatty’s front wheel might have been taken out by a Uno 
X rider. It’s hard to tell. Yeah, it is. The guy cut across the road to react to a move. Tatty’s 
wheel was there and he got taken down. Guys, he doesn’t look hurt, but I think anytime you fall 
off your bike at 20 miles hour, it hurts. Uh, so I’m hoping he’s not hurt either, but I would have 
attacked at that point. I would have said, I don’t   care. We’re here to win stages. Um, yeah, Tatt 
Taddyy did crash as a rarity, folks. Like I said, he’s probably the luckiest cyclist out there. He 
doesn’t have to deal with what everyone else Okay,   all good, Tatty. All good. All good. All good. 
Respect to the bunch. Respect to everybody. Thank you. I think he’s That’s him responding. Uh, he 
knows they all waited for him, so that’s good to see. I don’t want him to get hurt either. 
Uh, yeah. So, Tatty Crash, Don saying, “Uh, thanks for calling. Wishing Joey Jojo a happy 
birthday today. May you having a great time.”   Yeah, we’re going to, Don. Thank you so much for 
being here again, guys. Don’t forget tomorrow, uh, it’s going to be a barn burner tomorrow. As we say 
over here in Calgary, a ring, a ding-dong dandy, folks. There will be a malfunction at the junction 
tomorrow. the war really starts tomorrow at the tour to France. This is when uh the warriors have 
to come out and play. If I had some if I had a couple of small bottles, I’d be going like this 
[ __ ] [ __ ] in my hands right now. You guys know   the movie. Someone tell me what movie that is. 
It’s such an easy one. Uh yeah, Robert number one in the chat. Tatty will feel that crash tomorrow 
and the next day. Exactly. Uh second day. Oh, Robert, good thing here. you you know how to stir 
it up for me. I’ve said it before and uh they they the team Tatty’s team UAE said about Yao it’s 
always worse on the second or third day. What’s on the second day from now? The mountain time drop. 
Tatty might feel a bit banged up. I don’t know what hit the ground first. Was it his hip? Was 
his shoulders elbow? Who knows? They’re going to   be probably having a good look at him tonight. Is 
Matthew Vanderpole the new green jersey? I would say no. It’s Jonathan Milan still. Uh, looking at 
the points here after general ranking, Jonathan Milan, Tatty, Bingham. Uh, I think Bingham may 
have got I think he was at 151. So, I think he got a I think he got three points today. So, he 
wasn’t super high up in the sprint, but he got   something. Jonathan Milan got zero points today 
in the final sprint, but he did get intermediate points. So did Bingham. climber still Lenny 
Martina Martinez uh young riders jersey Ben Healey and there we So overall Ben did lose some time 
today. Uh no he didn’t. Sorry I’m looking at this over here. Uh at the start of the day 
it was 29 seconds back to Tatty. It’s still   29 seconds back to Tatty. It could be more, 
but Tatty and UAE are very fortunate that for some reason the benefits of wearing the yellow 
jersey were gifted to Tatty there. So, generally, if it’s the yellow jersey wearer, you’d wait. It’s 
just kind of the respect thing of the tour. I kind of wish that would start going away, too. Uh, 
really wasn’t Tatty’s fault that he went down, but I’ve seen other times when people have waited 
and it’s like that was his own fault. That crash   wasn’t Tatty’s fault. It was It’s It’s racing. 
Yeah, Tony C’s got it. The Warriors. Warriors come out and play. So easy, right? So easy. 
Tony, you got you nailed that one. Uh so guys, that’s been fun today. A lot of fun. Let’s 
uh let me get away from the camera here. The route. Let’s have a little preview 
tomorrow. Only 9:15 in the morning for me,   guys. This is where we’re heading to tomorrow. 
180.6 km. So, we’re going longer tomorrow. It’s a mountain stage tomorrow. 3850 meters of climbing. 
We’ll do a quick preview of it. Actually, let’s do uh we’re going to do a quick zoom in on the 
stage again. So, A, however you pronounce it, is probably a couple hours southwest of Tulus 
where we’re finishing today. And you can see   the Pyrenees in the background. That’s 
where we’re heading, boys. That’s where we’re heading now to. Appreciate everyone being 
here today. Appreciate the likes, uh, comments,   anyone who subscribes to the channel. Love it, 
guys. Uh you guys are making the channel for me to France and you guys the fans we’re climbing 
here called Solor that’s category one called Bordeair is a category two and we go down through 
the valley system and we climb the hotcom right   away guys I studied this one a lot last night on 
climb finder to figure this one out. Uh you turn one way you’re up another climb. So it’s flat 
to generally climbing falls flatty for the day. There will be a sprint point in there someday. 
Riders are still finishing out their bunches   coming in as we speak. Everyone going pretty 
chill there. We will look at here it is. Oh, so we do have a category 4 early uh right before 
the sprint point. That could be interesting to see if the sprinters get over that one. Jonathan Lan’s 
going to want to secure some more points. Uh this   guy Abrahamson is like the hero of Norway uh for 
Uno X. We take on the cat one. So they’re going to have 120 kilometers under their belt before 
they start climbing. Drop downhill. Category two called a Bordeair. And we drop way down to 
the valley and take on the HC hoticcom. Um where are they? I think it’s a just over a thousand 
meters of climbing on the hoticcom. See here uh the Calder. It’s almost 12 km at the center of 
percent. So that’s 850 m of climbing there. Uh the category 2 is another couple hundred meters of 
climbing. And then the hoticcom uh 13.8 km at 8% is right around 1,000 meters, I believe. So it’s 
going to be a spectacular day tomorrow, folks. Let’s have one more look at the profile 
there. I’ll finish this baby off. Uh actually,   I should be back here so I don’t blind myself. 
Let’s look at the stage rankings today quickly. Abrahamson is Norwegian too because the team is 
like 90% Norwegian and about 10% Danish riders. Excuse me. Um Schmidt Vanderpool, Arnold 
Dele did sprint win there. He I saw him uh take Venard out. Laurance was part of the 
group. Fred Wright Burgau Quinn Simmons gets ninth. Ballerini did survive to get 10th. Uh and 
then Kaden Gro is coming in for Alison Decornney getting some points. He’d get points there. Diani 
Jagat who is sitting nicely in the standings too. Let’s keep an eye on this guy going later on. 
Roma Gregar. Uh well placac in the standings trying to see where Binium came in here if he got 
points. Uh so here’s Ben Healey finishing at 328. Yeah, big group there. So, I guess Bingham’s po only points today 
were at the intermediate. He got no points at the finish line there. I guess he figured 
everyone ahead of them um was not contesting   the green jersey. So, okay guys, uh just 
going to read the last questions here. Let’s just back up. Oh, I forgot to Joey made guys 
Joey Jojo made me an opening video and I forgot to play it again. I got to Okay, brain work. I got 
to download that today and get it plugged into   the OBS. Uh, yeah, Warriors. Come out and play. 
Love that movie. Need an ending tagline like I am cycling out. Peace out, bros. Uh, mountain day 
stage 12. First real one of the tour climbing. Welcome to the tour to France. It’s all going 
to flip-flop. Yeah, basically one wheel length   it looks like. Maybe a bit less for the victory 
there. Julius Caesar just getting here today. Uh, Tatty went down on his hip. Okay, guys, that’s 
going to be hurting him over the next couple days.   That will impact his performance. I don’t want to 
see him get hurt. I wouldn’t have waited for him, though. Call me a bad guy. I don’t care. Uh, Yanlu 
saying, “Crazy climbing. When is the TT race?” Uh, dude, that’s Friday. Friday is the uphill mountain 
time trial, individual events. Thursday tomorrow though we climb the hotcomic category one category 
four one two and then an HC climb at the end. Wow, this is a gigantic swimming pool they’re 
showing here on TV. Like it’s just like abs it’s like 50 swimming pools in one. Uh obviously 
a waiting pool. Uh Dawn saying they should have made the stage 13 uphill time trial 30 through 
comments then it would have blown up the Yeah,   they need longer ones again. I think they’re just 
they’re favoring climbers too much. Uh I think the tours just leaned in that direction now. And in 
the past, I saw one tour to France, listen to it on audiobook. It had five individual time trials 
in one tour to France. They’re probably thinking, “Okay, here’s your five flat stages. Here’s 
five TTs. Here’s five hill climbs, and we’ll have a few random smatterings of undulating ones.” 
Jonathan Milan just coming to the finish line now. uh 14 minutes back. That’s probably happened 
in real life just catching the replay. Uh Bingo was in the main group. He’s he’s fine. No changes 
in the standings. Uh Brandon saying, “Last climb tomorrow. Looks comparable to the Santa Barbara
