Hello and welcome to highlights of the fifth and queen stage of this year’s Lloyd’s tour of Britain men. Roman Greek taking a twoc advantage over Matthew Brennan into the stage. 4 seconds to Julian Alfipe in third. Olaf Coin now in the red points jersey. Victor Vakuli in the blue jersey of King of the Mountains and Matthew Brennan wearing the white jersey as the best young rider. 2,322 m of elevation for today’s stage from Pontipool to the summit finish of the tumble. It took quite a while for the breakaway to become established. Ethan hater, one of the early attackers of the day. Alexis Guan would crest the summit of the Langam climb in the lead with our King of the Mountains Victor Vuli making sure he took some points. He took three points. Our breakaway of nine riders was established as we headed on to climb two. Finn Tarling, Victor Vakuli, Hrick, Frederick Fison, Hedrickk Ped, no Isidor, Axel and Baptist Vistro were our breakaway. Vuli taking Eton Hill onto Old Ross Road and the Flanders Balwisa rider making sure that he picked up maximum points. He took another four. We then headed towards the famous climb of the tumble and unfortunately three days in the breakaway were starting to take its toll on Vakuli while behind Remco. Aanapole was starting to just mix things up on the first ascent of this punishing climb. Vuli swept up by an ever diminishing number of riders in the pelaton. Fred car dropped from the breakaway leaving Isidador and Reys to head to the summit category one climb. Gregoire showing his strength on the front of the pelaton. It was the Roy who swept up maximum points at the summit. No challenge to Vuli’s King of the Mountains jersey on the descent. Friezison and Fred Carar would come back to the two leaders who had at this point almost given up on the breakaway. Two riders standing. Friezison and Fredar were caught. And as we headed towards the final ascent of the tumble, it was Hatista Fiss of the Unibetita Maroets that went on the attack. He would be joined at the front by Sibetvid of the team Flanders Balwisa and together they would build a gap of over a minute over a pelaton that had increased in size as they headed to USK for the intermediate sprint. Matthew Brennan perfectly led out to take 1 second and it meant as we started the final ascent of the tumble, the British rider had closed the gap in the general classification to just 1 second. the lead out into the tumble. The big names with 10 kilometers to go. We’re coming through to the front. As we started the climb, Sam Watson’s jump was done for the Inos Grenaders. Our two breakaway riders swept up on the lower slopes. Remco a poised and ready for Sudal Quickstep. Pavl Civikov Uleia all towards the front. One of the riders of the day though, AJ August from the Inos Grenaders, the young American rider showing his strength and going toe-to-toe, trading punches with the biggest names in the sport. Pavl Civicov launched his move for the UA Emirates team Ox Oscar on fourth in this year’s tour to France. Got across to him. They would be joined by Alfonso Ulleio. But the head went tough climb and it was Elan Vanilda of Sudal Quickstep the teammate of Avenle who has been very much the MVP of the summer. We came up towards the summit AJ August ahead of Blackmore. Paleo Bill Bao looking to lead out for Ulleio Onley poised and ready. The gap opened up perfectly for Remco aort. Thomas Globe the British rider in the yellow and black of Vizma Lisa Bike getting an express train lead out from Remco a launched his move for the summit of the tumble. Glow in the slipstream. he wouldn’t be able to come off the wheel of the double Olympic champion and it was a gold standard victory for Remco in report the summit the tumble ahead of Globe and only in third place 106 and four bonus seconds on the line Roman Gregoire in the green jersey would retain that going into the final day but it is tight between him and Remco aole It could come down to a battle for the bonus seconds. So Roman Gregoire takes two seconds over a into the final day. Alfalipe at four just 17 seconds separating the top 10.

Remcoo🎉🎉
On met la patate!! Go on Remco!!
Also why are Israel still in this race 🤢
That headwind up the climb today definitely meant smaller gaps
Remco is such a nice guy.
Congrats Thomas Gloag on 2nd!
Brennan climbed well enough today to suggest he'll be the new Mountain Mads!
Marty macdonald is a terrible commentator if that’s who itv are going with it’s just as well their not getting the TDF bring back Ned and David miller
Marty is no doubt a lovely guy but he's utterly hopeless as a commentator. He just lists a whole lot of names, or talks about other events that rarely relate to anything happening on the screen. He'd do well to listen to how it's been done by Sherwen, Liggett, Millar and Boulting. I often switch his commentaries to silent or just skip to when he's having a break.
Commentator sucks
Neat win!
