00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
00:13 Obviously, we've waited a long time for this.
00:25 Me, a year longer than everyone else.
00:27 So I'm really happy to be here.
00:29 This is the second one.
00:31 I take in mind a lot of nice memories,
00:34 especially for the people.
00:37 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
00:39 Everybody, of course, is in the running.
00:52 Everybody is doing the preparations
00:54 and getting ready.
00:55 And then finally, the day is there that it's getting started.
01:00 I'm really excited to be here again.
01:02 Good memories from last year.
01:04 So ready to fight for it again.
01:06 Lorena Wiebes wins stage one.
01:09 History is made.
01:10 These are the emotions that we want to live
01:12 and we want to experience this year also.
01:16 That's what we live for.
01:17 That's what we ride for.
01:20 The watches is really nice to have a duel between me
01:22 and Demi.
01:23 It will be a big battle for sure between us.
01:25 Of course, Annemiek is a rider you can never count out.
01:27 And she's very important to this race, I think.
01:30 This Tour de France is a race everybody has really in mind
01:34 and really peaks towards too.
01:36 So from my feeling, I think we cannot say it's only a battle
01:41 between me and Annemiek.
01:42 We're underway with edition two of the Tour de France
01:49 VAM Avex.
01:52 The first stage in and around Clermont-Ferrand.
01:55 No great challenge until the sole category climb
01:58 at Cote des D'Urtaules.
02:00 Nearly two kilometres at 7%, likely to determine
02:04 the first yellow jersey of 2023.
02:07 And the restart has just been given.
02:11 We're getting set for the start of the Tour de France
02:14 VAM Avex Zwift.
02:16 And stage one, Clermont-Ferrand to Clermont-Ferrand.
02:20 123.8 kilometres of racing is underway.
02:25 Some agitating to go clear, but nobody able to build and
02:29 maintain a break.
02:31 First attack of La Tour came from Cofidis' Martina Alzini.
02:37 But as was the order of the day, Escapee is given short
02:40 thrift by the peloton.
02:42 Traffin Laurence, the next one to feel there was a chance
02:45 to make a burst.
02:47 Yet as the Breton pushed, the first casualty of the Tour.
02:50 Oh, crash.
02:52 One rider is in the field at the side of the road.
02:56 Maria Benito of AG Insurance, Soudal Quick-Step, caught the
03:00 rough edge of the road.
03:01 Thankfully conscious on her way to hospital, the Spanish
03:04 rider the first to abandon the race.
03:08 Laurence pushed up the road.
03:10 The Breton could not maintain the mere 30 second gap she
03:13 created. 32 degrees out on the road.
03:19 A lot of nervous energy translated to a rather
03:22 uneventful first 100 kilometres.
03:24 Thoughts hardening with every passing revolution of the
03:27 wheels to the finale.
03:29 No one tried to break out.
03:35 The tension still coursing through the race.
03:38 Taking a leaf out of the Spice Girls book, Marta Lasch
03:41 responded to show her power.
03:44 The best break of the day to finally create some daylight.
03:47 Yet a 50 second lead quickly dwindled heading into the
03:51 intermediate sprint at Saint-Hypolite.
03:55 And the increasing velocity proving too much for some.
03:59 Oh, and a crash.
04:01 Some riders have hit the deck here on the right hand side,
04:04 just as there was that little shift across the road.
04:08 A perfect illustration of the stress and strains on day one.
04:14 Former world champion Lizzie Denon bagged the first 25
04:17 points on offer towards the green jersey.
04:21 With no established breaks, it was the battle of the Lidl
04:24 Trek and SD Vortex trains as the first sights of the Côte
04:28 de D'Hertoghe came into view.
04:31 With no one willing to take the bull by the horns, Lotte
04:34 Kopecky grabbed her opportunity to make something happen.
04:39 Here goes the attack.
04:41 Lotte Kopecky now fires off the front.
04:43 A big move by Lotte Kopecky.
04:47 She takes the point.
04:48 She takes the queen of the mountains jersey.
04:51 And now does she continue?
04:54 Belgium may have been surprised there wasn't a greater
04:57 response.
04:57 Demi Voring disrupting the chase to Ashley Moorman's
05:00 annoyance.
05:01 In the descent back to Clermont-Ferrand,
05:04 no one catching the double winner of the Tour de France.
05:08 It was an explosive attack on the final climb of the day.
05:13 Lotte Kopecky, first yellow jersey of the Tour de France
05:18 Fama-Vexwicht.
05:20 Kopecky executing the Dutch team's plan B.
05:23 Lorena Weevis sprinting to the line ahead of Charlotte Kuhl
05:27 for a stunning SD Vortex one-two.
05:29 The fourth time the pair have been part of one this season.
05:32 The dominant force of the Women's World Tour.
05:35 The Belgian national champion 30 years ago on the Champs-Elysees.
05:43 This time she headed right to the top.
05:45 41 seconds on teammate Weevis.
05:48 Out sprinted compatriots Charlotte Kuhl and Marianne Vos.
05:51 Kopecky in iconic yellow, an honor Weevis enjoyed in 2022.
06:02 The Belgian delighted with her day's work.
06:04 It was something that was actually on my mind already
06:11 quite a long time.
06:12 I think the last three weeks I was joking about it
06:15 with my best friend.
06:16 And every day we texted each other
06:17 and we said like 10 kilometers to go to yellow.
06:20 So yeah, it's amazing that I can also just do it.
06:24 And this year we just have a super strong and super good
06:27 team together.
06:28 And it's really nice to race like this.
06:29 Not satisfied with one points classification leader
06:31 as well, thanks to her 11th win of the season,
06:34 Ashley Moolman in green tomorrow.
06:38 No surprise, her explosive kick up the Cote d'Auto
06:41 means Kopecky is also the early queen of the mountain.
06:44 That's Irina Vnewadoma, who swapped for a Canyon's
06:47 Vibrant Tour jersey for a spell in polka dot.
06:52 One jersey not held by Kopecky, French national time trial
06:56 champion Sylvain Kerbaud.
06:58 And his 37th overall to earn the white jersey for the best
07:02 youngster.
07:02 [French announcement]
07:06 It's true that it's a bit wow.
07:09 In fact, three minutes ago I was not aware that I had this jersey.
07:14 I thought it was a mistake.
07:15 I thought there was another U23 ahead.
07:17 And so in fact I went back to the team's camper.
07:21 And then I was told, but no Cédrine, you have to go to the podium.
07:23 I was like what?
07:25 And yeah, it's a bit of a surprise of the day.
07:29 But I'm going to fight hard to keep it until the end.
07:33 Marta Lasch fought the hardest to create a break.
07:40 The Polish rider rewarded with the combativity award.
07:44 How long can Kopecky hold on to the maillot jaune?
