00:00 (GCON 2016)
00:02 My main ambition is to win a stage.
00:09 GCON is on a mission to get that jersey off the shoulders
00:15 of Paul Vindicourt, actually, at the moment.
00:17 You could dream big, maybe even think about a Poix-Air jersey,
00:23 but you have to see the dynamics of the race,
00:27 also with the team.
00:28 (GCON 2016)
00:30 Felix Gall, the Austrian rider from, as you discuss, Citroën,
00:35 his first Grand Tour stage win.
00:38 - Did you look at the standings? - We are close.
00:41 So, six points, and now the new rival is Felix Gall.
00:45 He's not a good rival because he's flying,
00:48 so it will be hard for me.
00:50 You look so good in this jersey, you need to keep it, come on, man.
00:53 (GCON 2016)
00:56 (GCON)
00:58 Immediate attacks to the front from Victor Campenaerts.
01:21 I told you they were here to start,
01:22 they told me they want to win a stage.
01:25 They were not really precise, how they want to do it.
01:28 Heading towards the bottom of the climb, Ballon d'Alsace.
01:31 It's a nice advantage for our leading duo.
01:35 And it looks like De Bust does not have the legs to go
01:40 with the fast-moving Victor Campenaerts.
01:42 Only eight seconds to go for Campenaerts.
01:44 Campenaerts is taken by the peloton and the new attacks.
01:50 Giulio Ciccone jumps away.
01:52 This is the battle for the king of the mountains.
01:57 But he doesn't have anyone to battle with.
01:59 Ciccone goes over the top, he takes the five.
02:03 Carlos Rodriguez's fall,
02:11 number 27 of Ineos Grenadiers.
02:13 And there's a split in the front,
02:20 and the yellow jerseys in that group.
02:23 And Barguil giving out,
02:24 trying to tell him, "Just go in the back, mate.
02:26 "Let's just break away."
02:28 And Vindegard doesn't need to go in the back,
02:30 I'm sorry, Mr. Barguil.
02:31 Vigueur, on the verge of being taken back by the main peloton.
02:36 It's starting again.
02:39 20 seconds to go for the group Ciccone.
02:41 The leaders are at the foot of the Ascension des Cols de la Sourte,
02:47 announced at 4.3 km.
02:50 (CHICCONE)
02:52 Ciccone works his way through.
02:59 His dream since he was a young boy
03:01 is to wear the polka dots at the end of the Tour de France.
03:05 He celebrates.
03:07 King of the mountains, Giulio Ciccone.
03:10 He cannot be beaten now.
03:12 Congrats, Chico! Congrats, team!
03:14 Chico took the points, so he will win the jersey.
03:20 The breakaway reached the penultimate climb
03:22 with a lead of only a minute and a half over the yellow jersey group,
03:25 not really enough to target the stage victory.
03:28 And so, in the final Tour de France mountain stage of his career,
03:31 Thibaut Pinot decided to up the tempo.
03:33 The local hero was originally joined by Barguil,
03:36 Pidcock, Ciccone, Harper and Madouas,
03:38 but he didn't seem to be in the mood to share the limelight.
03:41 I was really motivated.
03:47 I'd only had that in mind for a few days.
03:49 I was ready to be there.
03:51 I did what I could.
03:55 Thibaut Pinot!
03:57 Oh la la!
04:00 But I also enjoyed being there.
04:03 Oh la la!
04:06 Especially since I'm at home.
04:08 It's crazy to be there.
04:10 Oh la la!
04:13 He doesn't give up!
04:15 He's got it!
04:17 He's got it!
04:19 He's got it!
04:21 Thank you!
04:23 Madouas!
04:25 Madouas!
04:27 Madouas!
04:29 Madouas!
04:31 Madouas!
04:33 Madouas!
04:35 Madouas!
04:37 Madouas!
04:39 Madouas!
04:41 Madouas!
04:43 Madouas!
04:45 Madouas!
04:47 Madouas!
04:49 Madouas!
04:51 It's a page in my history that's coming to an end tonight.
04:55 So, yeah, it's stronger than I thought.
04:59 (CHEERING)
05:01 After a final emotional celebration with his fans,
05:07 Pinot began to waver on the final climb up to Le Marcstein
05:10 as the favourites got ready to strike.
05:13 Pogacar said earlier on today,
05:15 "I'm going to go all in, full gas, on this final day of racing."
05:20 Pinot soon had company in the shape of Bargill and Pidcock
05:25 before Galle, Vingegaard and Pogacar bridged across
05:27 and it was the big guns who would be fighting it out for the stage honours.
05:31 Six riders now in the lead.
05:34 Pidcock, Bargill, Pinot, Galle, Vingegaard and Pogacar.
05:40 And Pinot now is dropped.
05:42 Jonas Vingegaard, Taddy Pogacar, Felix Galle, Adam Yates, Simon Yates
05:48 are about to join up at the front of the final mountain stage
05:52 of the Tour de France.
05:55 In the front is Taddy Pogacar
05:57 and now they loop all the way round and get set for the sprint.
06:00 Adam Yates leading it out.
06:02 Vingegaard gets set.
06:05 He wants to win this final mountain stage.
06:08 He's not giving up on it either.
06:10 Simon Yates is right on the back.
06:12 300 metres to go at the top of the final mountain of the Tour de France.
06:17 Adam Yates starts to lead it out.
06:19 Vingegaard is in the lead.
06:21 Adam Yates starts to lead it out. Vingegaard kicks on the right-hand side,
06:25 takes the inside line.
06:27 Pogacar is right on his wheel.
06:29 It's the yellow jersey and the white jersey.
06:32 One-two. The inseparable duo going for the finish line.
06:36 But it is a win for Taddy Pogacar.
06:40 He celebrates on the Stage 20 to Le Markstein.
06:46 Today I finally feel like myself again.
06:49 It was just really good from start to finish to feel good again
06:55 after many days of suffering.
06:59 And to pull it off in the finish line.
07:02 I'm just super, super happy.
07:06 You need an extra week?
07:08 Yeah, now we can go to the finish line.
07:11 But now, let's go home.
07:14 It was definitely a crazy battle we had all these three weeks.
07:19 And I think it has been a really, really nice race to watch.
07:24 And also for us.
07:26 I think I really appreciate the battle I had with Taddy this Tour de France.
07:32 He may have lost his mind, but he's still going to win.
07:39 He may have lost the war, but Pogacar certainly won the battle today,
07:43 claiming his 11th Tour de France stage victory and the second of this edition.
07:48 Wingergaard will win his second Tour de France ahead of the UAE teammates Pogacar and Adam Yates.
07:54 Simon Yates leapfrogs Carlos Rodriguez to finish fourth after the Spaniards crash.
07:59 Jasper Philipsen will be fully focused on bringing home his fifth stage win of this Tour in Paris tomorrow.
08:04 He's looking to go back-to-back on the Champs-Élysées.
08:07 Giulio Ciccone is the king of the mountains, the Italian stopping a run of three editions
08:12 where the polka-dot jersey went to either Pogacar or Wingergaard.
08:15 And for the fourth and final time, Pogacar will stand on the podium in Paris tomorrow
08:19 as the winner of the youth classification.
