00:00 (dramatic music)
00:02 - It's a stage that you know well,
00:05 you've already won in La Reince,
00:06 that will remind you good memories, I suppose.
00:09 - Lost yellow on the last climb,
00:15 and I remember this stage quite well.
00:18 - Taddy Pogacar wins the stage.
00:22 - My first stage in the Tour de France.
00:24 - Wow.
00:24 - It's gonna be a good race for me anyway.
00:29 (dramatic music)
00:31 - Today's the first test.
00:36 - Of course I'm excited for the first real mountains
00:38 here in the Tour de France.
00:40 For sure I'm not normal.
00:44 - You have to be there, you have to be ready.
00:48 There's bonifications on the Marais Blanc.
00:51 - For sure Taddy's gonna be up for grabbing them,
00:56 and then we'll see in the final.
00:59 - We will have to have at least two plans, if not three.
01:02 - Would be a hard day.
01:05 - Everybody here is a bit crazy.
01:06 - You know, every second counts.
01:09 (speaking in foreign language)
01:19 (dramatic music)
01:22 (speaking in foreign language)
01:32 - This race is underway, furious attacks at the front.
01:36 - What a difference a day makes.
01:40 After taking it easy yesterday,
01:41 the riders came flying out of the traps today,
01:44 keen to get up the road for mountains points
01:46 or a potential stage win.
01:48 Others were bracing themselves for a long day in the saddle.
01:51 - This is not looking good for Jakobsen,
01:57 if he's already dropped here.
01:59 - Oh, big, big crash.
02:02 This is terrible news for Fabio Jakobsen.
02:08 When you are dropped after just a few kilometers
02:11 on a mountain stage.
02:13 (dramatic music)
02:16 - In the end, a group of 36 riders fought their way clear
02:22 with a host of big names,
02:24 including team leaders at Jai Hindley and Giulio Ciccone.
02:27 Wout Van Aert was also in there,
02:29 pulling clear with a couple of other fast men
02:31 before the intermediate sprint.
02:33 - We're getting set then for the intermediate sprint.
02:37 First to launch is Pedersen.
02:39 Van Aert decides not to go,
02:40 which might state some intentions for later.
02:43 We'll just check with Nico on that.
02:44 But Pedersen and Cocard on this uphill sprint
02:47 are gonna come in to take the 20 points.
02:50 There's a distribution.
02:52 Cocard is on Sunday today.
02:55 Cocard takes the 20, Pedersen takes 17.
02:59 Behind them, Van Aert will take the third place,
03:01 then Campenetz.
03:03 (dramatic music)
03:05 (speaking in foreign language)
03:12 (speaking in foreign language)
03:16 - Van Aert and Victor Campenetz were eventually caught
03:31 by the best climbers from the original breakaway.
03:34 And the first man to the top
03:35 would get a shiny polka dot jersey.
03:41 - Everything going on.
03:43 Felix Galle attacking very, very hard on this mountain.
03:47 Felix Galle of Aujoux-du-Zé, Citroën,
03:54 over the top of the AUS category.
03:56 Col de Suday, 20 points in the pocket.
03:59 Virtual king of the mountains.
04:01 - The group came back together again on the descent.
04:06 So 18 riders at the front.
04:08 Chris Nielens decided to kick on
04:10 before the minor second climb,
04:11 joined by Van Aert and Julian Alaphilippe.
04:14 The trio racing towards the Col de Marais Blanc,
04:16 where everything was about to kick off.
04:18 - You won't win the tour today,
04:27 but you can certainly lose it today.
04:29 - We can certainly lose it a lot of time today
04:32 on that climb.
04:33 - They're about to catch the leading trio.
04:38 Chris Nielens, Wout Van Aert and Julian Alaphilippe
04:42 are about to be caught by a fast-moving Basque.
04:45 The train of Omar Freilly is about to bring them back.
04:49 Julian Alaphilippe is dropped.
05:00 Rigoberto Uran is dropped.
05:01 Nielens is dropped.
05:02 Jorgensen is dropped.
05:03 Tish Benut is dropped.
05:05 So is Wampi Lopez.
05:07 That's a surprise.
05:08 Shows the pace now that's being set.
05:11 The tempo is pretty rapid.
05:13 Two leaders on the Col de Marais Blanc.
05:16 - And this is actually very good for Jai Hindley.
05:19 Still working everything into place.
05:22 He is with the best climber.
05:23 - Now the team of Jumbo Visma take this on.
05:37 - It's not difficult, Mikel Landa.
05:39 Mikel Landa is here.
05:40 It's not difficult, he's distanced.
05:42 - And Hindley now attacks.
05:45 The Australian makes the bid
05:47 to take the yellow jersey of the Tour de France.
05:51 Vengagard attacks.
05:55 Another blow now as he goes flying past
05:59 the rest of the riders and Pagacar
06:01 is unable to react to Jonas Vengagard.
06:05 The defending champion of the Tour de France
06:07 takes flight on the Col de Marais Blanc
06:10 and Pagacar doesn't have an answer yet.
06:12 - He is really panicking, going all out
06:18 and that's a good situation for him.
06:19 - Now Pagacar has no reaction at all.
06:23 He's just trying to pace himself.
06:25 Every single second counts for Jai Hindley.
06:33 He has closed a huge gap already.
06:35 - He has on his left today, Pagacar with 40 seconds gap.
06:38 - Top of the Marais Blanc, Vengagard at 1.03, wow.
06:43 Just doesn't look like he's having one of those good days.
06:55 He couldn't even get out the saddle.
06:58 You wonder whether it's the wrist
07:00 or whether he's just having a bad day.
07:02 His team have ridden all day today.
07:04 Vengagard knows he needs to keep
07:09 the deficit to Hindley manageable.
07:11 He's one minute behind with Ciccone with Buchmann.
07:16 What a thrilling day, Nico.
07:26 What a day in the Tour de France.
07:28 - This has been an amazing day to commentate.
07:31 They've given us something to talk about
07:33 every single hour of the day.
07:35 - Pagacar does look around,
07:38 realizes that Adam Yates is there.
07:41 And now some reinforcements.
07:43 - You Jai legend, you Jai legend, my friend.
07:50 Fucking thanks to everybody.
07:59 - One minute and 35, 36.
08:03 And over a minute for Vengagard on the line as well
08:06 over Tadej Pagacar.
08:08 - The guys in the radio were just screaming about,
08:17 yeah, just ride it to the line.
08:19 And I don't know, I couldn't really hear
08:23 so much of what was happening, but yeah,
08:25 I just wanted to gain as much time as possible.
08:27 And yeah, and also the stage win and yeah,
08:32 found myself in the yellow jersey.
08:34 So that's pretty cool too.
08:35 - What a sensational day for Hindley
08:40 after a tactical masterclass from Bora Hansgrohe.
08:43 The Aussie taking his first Tour de France stage win
08:46 just five days into his debut.
08:48 - Every rider dreams of wearing the Maillot Jaune
08:51 and it's a massive, massive privilege and honor.
08:56 And yeah, it's a dream come true really.
08:59 - The GC has been turned upside down.
09:04 Hindley leads by 47 seconds from Vengagard.
09:06 Pagacar is at one minute and 40 seconds.
09:09 Jasper Philipsen still has a comfortable lead
09:12 in the green jersey standings,
09:13 but Brian Cocker moves up to second place.
09:16 Felix Gannis, our new king of the mountains,
09:19 the Austrian carrying his superb form
09:21 from the Tour de Suisse into the Tour de France.
09:24 He leads Giacane by nine points.
09:26 - Were you surprised by the attack of Jonas?
09:35 - I don't know.
09:38 I mean, he could see that when Sepp went really hard
09:44 on the climb that I think he could see
09:47 that I was a bit going full gas.
09:50 So he tried to attack and yeah, couldn't follow
09:54 because he was just stronger today.
09:57 - A day to forget for Pagacar,
10:11 but he still has the white jersey.
10:13 The question is, can he fight back?
10:15 And how will Hindley handle
10:17 an ominous looking Jonas Vengagard?
10:19 (dramatic music)
10:22 (upbeat music)
10:25 (dramatic music)
