00:16Safely, so it's Biska and Paulus who are now 44 seconds behind the leader and this race is about to reset
00:24With another counter-attack riders trying to go on the move
00:27Over the top of the climb the two EF education easy pace riders look a little bit
00:32Disconsolate actually took a long time before they cut them
00:36You just wonder if the sports directors of EF will rue the moment that they?
00:41Decided not to go with the tactic they put in place
00:43Which was put as many riders up the road as they possibly can is
00:48Abrahamson of the team of UNOx mobility

00:59Abrahamson of UNOx mobility
01:01to the right hand side as we look Gamay is at the front and
01:05Philipson isn't even able to challenge and Intermarche Wanty also still some of the points as well
01:15Crash in the peloton a number of riders who've hit the deck going slightly uphill Warren Barguil is one of them
01:22Tandy Dujardin is there no one injured, but a little bit of a tussle there a tangle of riders
01:31Abrahamson is going to put himself
01:34into
01:35This king of the mountains jersey for a number of days

02:02Pogacar quite a long way back as he went into that turn
02:07Philipson

02:13Wilco Kelderman doing his work now for Bismarck. He's a bike
02:19Big right hander all the riders get safely through at the front of the peloton a big
02:24Acceleration out of there as they're almost on the pavement on the left hand side
02:29Gamay is on 166
02:32Abrahamson on 107
02:34Philipson on 98
02:37Sean Quinn starts to make life a little bit harder
02:41He's going for the sprint. Yeah, maybe uh, Lethal Trek can produce a stage win with Gibbons rather than Pedersen. Oh
02:49No one fell, I don't know how nobody fell then
02:53there was a touch of riders a touch of wheels potentially, but
02:58nothing happened
03:011 000 meters of racing remain on today's stage the team of Intermarche giving this full gas now
03:07As Gamay moves around they might leave him on the front a little bit too early. Kockaard moves up the team of
03:15Jaco Alula move up to look for Gronerwegen
03:19There was almost a coming together there from that helicopter shot, but everybody is okay
03:24Durbridge moves across Luca Mechertz moves into position with Gronerwegen

03:40Tucked in on the wheel comes Jasper Philipsen Marin van den Berghe
03:44Also, Aaron Burrow is there ready for the sprint. This is going to be a big big sprint finish

04:16Two stage wins for the green jersey in the Tour
04:21Crosses the road Bauhaus tries to go around. Delee goes a long way

04:33Biniam Gamay wins, Philipsen second
04:36Good sprint by Ackermann
04:38Gamay from Philipsen, Ackermann and Delee in a photograph. Philipsen is beaten again by Biniam Gamay
04:48I don't think Philipsen is going to believe this
04:51Last year he was unbeatable. Now Gamay is the rider with the power
