The thing is definely we’ve not got the the big kind of lead out trains. It’s you know this is why we see it in some of these kind of smallalish races. So I know we’re at a decent level here in the world tour races that it be going so quickly now that um and that’s what happens when you get smaller teams you cannot do the big lead out and especially this kind of far out. I know we’re only 3.2 but normally it’s it’s kind of three two and a half is when you want to be kind of hitting the front. Um, and it’s okay for the Wagner rider to to dive off the front there and get 20 seconds of glory. It’s it’s diving off the front, keeping it going. There’s not many riders that can do that. Um, in the past there was some, but nowadays it’s very difficult to do, but it’s it’s fast moving, but not at, you know, top end speed that we would get in a World Tour race. And so, this is why we’re getting a bunching up. And there’s a lot of riders now getting very excited because they realize that um they’re in with a chance. And for a lot of the smaller teams, of course, they’re in with a chance of getting a top 10 finish today. We had one yesterday with the Ringal 2 team uh infiltrating the top 10. And for some of these teams to get in the top 10 and and in this sort of level of race, this is a a big opportunity for them. Yeah. 27y old Italian Jacobo Balabio is in fine form, seventh yesterday. I wonder whether Rinkoff Adverick’s division 3 outfit can produce something similar again today. We’re inside 3 kilometers. So all of the riders in this group will get the time of this group should they there be any mishap between now and the conclusion as the little Trek squad arrive at the front. Tom Squinch the Latia National Road Race Champion is is in position. His teammates Jacob Moscow did a little turn at the front has now dropped to the back as they scroll through their remaining riders inside this final two kilometers. It’s going to take a lot of legs to try and hang on as Scalmosa tries to move up and take position behind his teammates. Senra is being presented at the front by uh by Tom Squinch for the lead track squad. Big push from the yellow jersey to try and move up. Roman Gregoire’s on different duty here and perhaps just wants to stay out of trouble and maybe just try and create something for a teammate. The this is Richard Carropaz is leading out now. You don’t have the kind of big lead out trains at at your disposal when you get the likes of um you know Richard Carropas. He’s doing his job. He’s doing what what you would expect him to do, but it’s not the kind of big power that that you have. You can see that the favorite for the day, Maran Vanderberg, is sitting in third place. That would ideally be the best wheel to get and and on that wheel you can get you see you’ve got two riders from um Decathlon. Uh few riders a little bit kind of further behind but you have to battle it out. There’s 10 six and four in the finishing line. If Gregoire gets 4 seconds then you know he’ll be he’ll take that all day long. But um it’s a long drag up S and CL is up there as well. So this is going to be an interesting finish. Albert Ezy coming up as well, but he cannot look past the the blue jersey of Moran Vanderberg for EF education in this sprint. We are inside the final kilometer of this second stage of tour to Luxembourg. What a great job done by Casper Asgrain, Richard Carabas and others as they are about to present Marine Vandenber. Are they going to get swamped as the Cathol riders down? Closers goes down and has he taken anyone else with him? I think not. So that was a relief for many but not for him as Katherine Hi to war into the final few hundred meters of this event. Moren Vandenberg has decided to spring or is he waiting? He goes again and the rider in the blue jersey the outright hot favorite for this one has launched for the line with 225 250 to go. Is he going to be able to hang on? Wasn’t a moment of hubris. Has he gone too early? And will Moren Van Dberg be able to hang on to the run to the line? Looks like FDJ up for this one. Are they going to get it? No, it’s arms. Arms are off for team Luxembourg and that is a major shock and that is an extraordinary development because it looks as if the world tour teams have been prevented from taking the glory here. Marine Vandenberg looked to go early, stopped, then went again and that too looked as if it was a little bit earlier than anyone else. And waiting for full confirmation of the rider that got the glory on that occasion because it looked as if team Luxembourg got up to take what is a sensational and shock success in this one. Well, that was a fascinating conclusion and they’ve arrived into Mam and a slower than expected buildup has led to a tough conclusion to the day for Luxembourg’s Arthur Cluckers and other riders down as well. Germaine Zima, couple of riders this one from Luxembourg and Vrami was up there. You can see from Dathlon he’s going to lead it. What on earth happened there? I know clickers just came down and and one of the riders fell with them but I don’t know what EF Education Easy Post were doing at this moment but this was a lead out for for Benrammy and Man Vandenberg he did what Gregoire did yesterday and went from 300 m to go but look at fourth place there with Matthew Coman um and he just waits and you know up there as well you’ve got Via Giov for Wagner but it was a a hard one up there Dawning as well was up there number 41. But that was a great sprint by Coleman there to to take the biggest victory of his uh of his career. Vrami in second place, Donningworth in third place, Delgosa was up there in fourth, but Marian Vanderberg, the hot favorite, finishes in fifth place. Going.

Talking shit Sean Kelly
Why he'd go so early
Decathlon rider crashed – No. you guys are a disaster commentating. Maybe try some other sport. Kelly does not know riders names or mispronounces them.
Wow. The speed (and skill… and excitement) differences–between the A teams and the B teams is SO noticeable in events like this… without the top riders from the top teams participating. It's like watching the women race… slow and sloppy.
2 stages in Luxembourg!? How? You could cover all of it in 2 and half hours.
Is it necessary to have a Scottish commentator with that insane accent? It's like a German commentator in Swiss German or a thick saxony accent. It's really making my ears bleed 😢
3:15 !
