00:00Yesterday I got the bad news that my grandfather died, he was kind of the reason that I started
00:09cycling at the first place.
00:13I was not riding alone today, I lost both my grandfathers in three months, so I hope
00:19they watch together to the race today.
00:23And the court took the lead of the race by one solitary second.
00:31And so it comes down to this, the final day of a magnificent race, Destination Bordeaux.
00:40Who would win?
00:41Well, the great thing about this race is we never quite know.
00:45Big kicker at the end, that was going to define the day, plus intermediate sprints that would
00:49garner bonus seconds.
00:51Who would be brave enough to take it on?
00:53That was the big question.
00:55Well, we had six souls who were prepared to dig in and go for it, and they shared the
01:00spoils for much of the day.
01:03The gap never really allowed to get too impressive.
01:07It was rocking up to around about three and a half to four minutes at one point, but really
01:11this was a race and a day that was always going to be about a grand finale.
01:16And what an amazing backdrop, yet again, for us to enjoy.
01:21A brave breakaway did their very best.
01:25Could they possibly have an option on victory on this day?
01:30It would all come down to that ultimate test and the hellish ramps that would define the
01:35day as it always seems to do here in Norway.
01:40Last year was separated by just a solitary second.
01:42How close could it possibly get on this, our grand finale?
01:49The backdrops, the scenery had it all, only to be matched by the drama of the finale.
01:55Swirling, rocking and rolling up the big inclines to our grand final line, where we'd find our
02:03champion.
02:04It was all about the climb.
02:06The final circuit, absolutely defining, just 9.7 kilometers in length, bonus seconds up
02:12for grabs, but really it was a question of survival for the breakaway.
02:16They'd done so much for so long.
02:19Decision time with some stars on their case.
02:24This is Gregar bidding for glory here.
02:27Could he possibly pull off something absolutely spectacular with a stage win?
02:31There's no way he's going to indeed take the lead of the race.
02:34That's now long gone.
02:35It's only a very modest margin to the peloton, but he's got a chance here.
02:40We've had surprises and Jonas Gregar might well indeed just deliver this.
02:46Fantastic stuff.
02:47Comes around the outside, 600 meters to go.
02:49It does level out, but only on the last 25 meters.
02:52The hardest part of this course is still to come and he's going for it.
02:56Could we have a surprise here?
02:58It looks like Magnus Court is in a perfect position to deliver the hammer blow that will
03:02of course make sure that nobody else comes around him at the very last.
03:11Gregar still eating into this, 200 meters to go.
03:14He's got about another 150 to go.
03:16The camera's going to pan back and you're going to see those who are chasing him down.
03:19There's Magnus Court.
03:21Magnus Court needs to watch out for the flyers who are coming up around the outside.
03:25He goes himself.
03:26Magnus Court wants a stage win.
03:28The gap starts to tumble now to Jonas Gregar.
03:31He's punishingly very much within sight.
03:34He's about to come around the corner.
03:35Magnus Court goes around him.
03:37Magnus Court, magnificent, comes around to take what he believes and we know is his.
03:44He is going to be king of the hill, top of the pile.
03:47He is going to be our race winner.
03:49He is emerging now as a spectacular punchy rider.
03:53Is he going to take the stage win?
03:54There are others already in his case.
03:56Is he going to lose out at the very last?
03:58I don't think he's going to get there.
03:59Magnus Court delivers at the very last.
04:02Super work by him to Glomfjord.
04:04Gets the win.
04:05Takes the title on a super exciting day.
04:10That's amazing.
04:11Now we are home here in Norway.
04:14A Norwegian-Danish team.
04:16I told my girlfriend she is moving to Bordeaux here in two weeks.
04:23It's almost a home race for me now with my girlfriend.
04:26She will be living here, working in the hospital.
04:29That's very nice.
04:35He got the win he'd been looking for.
04:38After the disappointment of the day prior.
04:41Court taking it ahead of Champuzat.
04:43Fast finishing like a rocket ship.
04:45Christian Boccamus and Schmidt rounding out the top five.
04:49It meant the title and of course the world to Magnus Court.
04:53Victory by a margin of 17 seconds over the vaulting Champuzat with the mark making up
04:58the podium.
04:59He also took the points of course.
05:01So in gold and blue, Magnus Court holding court here in Norway.
05:09And of course our king of the mountains man had to pick up half a kilo of salmon as well.
05:15Johanik, victorious, twice the margin of the nearest man and Kevin Vermaak, our young rider
05:21classification winner by a solitary second over Schmidt.

05:28What an amazing race and what a winner.
