00:03 Crazy tour.
00:04 This is a crazy tour.
00:06 Is that the feeling that you have?
00:09 Yeah.
00:11 Every day is just full on, and today was no exception.
00:17 Tornado Taddy decides it's time, and here we go now.
00:21 And only one rider is able to respond,
00:24 and it's the yellow jersey.
00:26 Pagacar looked beaten a few days ago.
00:29 Vengagard attacks.
00:31 Pagacar is unable to react to Jonas Vengagard.
00:36 I couldn't follow because he was just stronger today.
00:40 It's so tight between these two riders.
00:44 Pagacar is taking all the initiative
00:47 in the Tour de France.
00:48 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
00:51 We wanted to try to test him again today,
00:54 and I suppose he felt better than yesterday.
00:57 Vengagard holds on.
00:58 It's about 9 or 10 seconds on the line.
01:01 Today, it's a Bastille Day battle for 17 seconds.
01:09 It's going to be fireworks.
01:12 What are you able to do in 17 seconds?
01:16 Tie my shoes.
01:16 It's Bastille Day.
01:23 It's the most important day for the French.
01:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:31 Today is all about the climbers.
01:37 Today is about the attackers.
01:40 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
01:43 The voice of Radio Tour, the voice of Seb Piquet,
01:47 the immediate attacks at the front
01:48 as riders try and get themselves into the breakaway.
01:54 Big attack at the front of this race.
01:57 Anthony Tergis is the attacker behind him, Pierre Latour.
02:01 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
02:04 The race now is starting to form a pattern.
02:18 Looks like we potentially could have a huge breakaway
02:22 with a lot of riders in it.
02:25 19 riders, to be exact.
02:27 Most of the top climbers stayed in the peloton,
02:29 perhaps thinking about the big alpine stages this weekend.
02:32 But Latour made the move a few days
02:34 after coming second on the Puy de Dome,
02:36 along with Kwiatkowski, Bettiol, Mohoric, Zimmermann, Wright,
02:39 and several others.
02:40 The highest placed on GC was Tejada,
02:43 almost an hour off the pace.
02:44 But Pagacar's UAE teammates were clearly on a mission,
02:48 keeping the break on a very tight leash.
02:50 Gap now 129.
02:51 So, Hugo, if you copy me, it's important
02:58 that you save your energy, eh?
03:00 Until the bottom of the last climb,
03:01 it's saving, saving, saving.
03:05 And the rider who is suffering on the descent
03:08 and can't stay with the riders in the breakaway
03:11 is not surprisingly Pierre Latour.
03:13 He just cannot descend as fast as the others.
03:17 You can see how much time he lives
03:19 and you can see how much time he loses on every single corner.
03:22 This is the final climb of the day and it's an absolute beast.
03:31 Well, the breakaway managed to eke out a bigger gap
03:40 than expected before they hit the 17.4km of Grand Colombier.
03:44 With nearly four minutes in hand,
03:46 the stage victory was still very much a possibility.
03:49 An attack of the Frenchman, Quentin Pagacar,
03:53 as he decides to go clear on Bastille Day.
03:56 It's not going to be a super domestique day for Wout van Aert.
04:03 Race situation, Quentin Pagacar leads a group of nine riders.
04:08 Behind them at 3.33, Vegard Steglengen leads a peloton.
04:13 And now the three chasers catch Quentin Pagacar.
04:16 24, 14, ski, operation, on the right, group of six,
04:18 six, four, four, four, four, four.
04:21 This is the front of the race now.
04:23 Mikhail Kwidkowski has caught the leaders
04:26 and gone straight past them.
04:28 13 seconds to the chasers behind Kwidkowski,
04:34 3.37 to the peloton.
04:36 And they catch now Pierre Latour.
04:40 Front, first rider now is alone, Kwidkowski.
04:43 Kwidkowski alone in the race.
04:46 He won a stage of the Tour in 2020.
04:48 Kwidkowski at 33, world champion,
04:52 winner of the Amstel Gold,
04:54 Milano-San Remo, San Sebastian Classic.
04:57 10 seconds behind, 3.38 to the chasers,
05:01 2.10 with 3km to go.
05:03 Yates now ramps it up.
05:06 Kurs now on the wheel.
05:08 He fills in the gap, but Pagacar just hangs back.
05:11 We thought it was the setup
05:16 for an attack of Pidcock and Rodriguez,
05:19 but instead it is the 31st win of his career.
05:23 Now the attack of Pagacar.
05:28 On his wheel goes Jonas Vengergaard,
05:36 but Pagacar is putting in a massive blow here.
05:40 What an attack of the Slovenian.
05:43 Vengergaard is the only one to go on.
05:46 He's dropping the wheel, he's looking behind.
05:47 We've seen it in the pit dome,
05:48 when he looks behind, it's not a sign.
05:50 Stryce's sprint to the wheel, doesn't bridge across.
05:52 Pagacar is powering his way up.
05:54 The 17 seconds is all that matters.
05:58 Vengergaard looked around to see, is there any help?
06:02 The answer is no.
06:03 You have to help yourself.
06:05 Pagacar looking to now put enough time into him
06:10 and the gap to Vengergaard.
06:13 Pagacar crosses the line now,
06:16 and Vengergaard crosses the line now.
06:19 Five seconds, four seconds.
06:21 - Crazy experience to be honest.
06:27 It's like I didn't have the car behind me the last time,
06:31 so I couldn't really hear what's happening on the radio.
06:34 So the fans were amazing,
06:36 and they were driving me to the finish.
06:38 And you know, that's an amazing feeling.
06:42 - Kvyatkovsky showing his class
06:49 to take a second Tour stage win
06:51 as Ineos conquered Bastille Day for the second year running.
06:54 Pagacar coming third to snaffle four bonus seconds.
06:57 That means that Vengergaard's lead
07:02 has been cut to just nine seconds
07:04 before two huge days in the mountains.
07:07 Peo Bilbao slips to seventh,
07:08 while Sepp Kuss moves up to 10th.
07:10 Philipsen is still in green with a comfortable lead.
07:14 For the sprinters,
07:15 the next few days will just be about survival.
07:17 Paulus on the other hand will have to defend
07:22 his polka dot jersey in the coming days.
07:24 The American leads from Pagacar,
07:26 who is bound to pick up a few points here and there.
07:28 The Slovenian didn't quite get the stage win
07:32 on Grand Columbier like in 2020,
07:35 but he put another chink in Vengergaard's armour.
07:37 Will he still be wearing white tomorrow?
07:39 - This morning I asked you what you could do in 17 seconds.
07:45 What can you do in nine seconds?
07:47 - Not a lot.
07:50 Not a lot, so yeah.
07:52 Eat a croissant.
07:56 Yeah, but small one.
07:57 - Small.
07:58 - Thanks.
08:00 (upbeat music)
08:03 (whooshing)
