00:00C'mon Kasia, just wait when Wodering makes a turn and then from then we go.
00:19This is it.
00:20How much you want?
00:21C'mon Kasia.
00:22God fuck.
00:23C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
00:24Very good job Kasia.
00:25Very, very good job.
00:27Very good job Kasia.
00:28Very, very good job.
00:33Yesterday was very nice stage.
00:35We definitely enjoyed it and also the outcome was really something we expected.
00:40Today I think it might be a stage for breakaway.
00:45But yeah of course the final looks quite interesting and realistically saying I think it's a good
00:51sprint for Marianne Vos.
00:53I hope to be there.
00:56Of course it's a stage that can go many ways.
01:00On paper they say it's not difficult but it has more altitude meters than yesterday so
01:04it will be hard and we'll see in the final.
01:09I think also other teams want to sprint for example Jumbo-Visma with Marianne.
01:13It's also a really nice finish for Marianne but also I don't know how strong Charlotte
01:18is but we can see today also.
01:22I think today is not really easy.
01:25First you need to survive some climbs and I think this stage can go two ways.
01:29Or it's a control day or it's chaos and it will be full gas all day.
01:36It was really crazy and really special that Puck took the win.
01:43The team is in a really good mood and we already showed yesterday that we race really aggressive
01:47and it's also what we like to do.
01:50We just want to do the final again because it's a bit upper and we have some riders who
01:54are actually good sprinters.
01:58In terms of probability, what is the chance to see a bunch sprint?
02:03Like 50-50.
02:06It really depends how they race.
02:21We will say that the stage runs in two stages.
02:24Really the first 30 kilometers and then it goes again for 30 corners.
02:28Really very bumpy and then the final which is quite tough.
02:31So yes, 2,000 from the start.
02:32Stage for the sprinters.
02:33We'll see at the finish.
02:38We have multiple goals today.
02:40We have great riders to be in the breakaway.
02:46And one rider is on the attack.
02:48And this is Luz Adegues.
02:50She is the rider from the team of FDJ Suez.
02:53She was the rider who sparkled in that individual time trial the other day
02:57and was the rider who sat in the hot seat.
02:59Top of the climb, the Cote de Fermont.
03:03And it's Luz Adegues.
03:06Oh, a bit of a fight going on now.
03:08Silvia Persico is trying to make another statement.
03:11She wants this jersey and she is trying everything she can.
03:1520 seconds for a counterattack.
03:18Made of van de Velde for AG Insurance Sudal.
03:25Junction ahead. Three riders in the lead.
03:33Three escapades up the road, but nothing to worry.
03:35ST works.
03:36Yellow jersey, Demi Follarin, positioned safely in the back.
03:40Only former British champion, Alice Towers,
03:43trying and failing to bridge the gap.
03:48Movistar's pace proving too much for many.
03:51Charlotta Cole, one of them, unable to contest for points.
03:54The green jersey under threat as the peloton reached Amneville.
03:5840 seconds for the counterattack.
04:00And the bench at 110, 110.
04:06Counterattack caught by the first riders in the bench.
04:10The bench decreased its speed and is now stretched.
04:17On the left-hand side, more attacks as we go through the feeds.
04:22Such an animated race.
04:23And still, Demi Follarin sits in the yellow jersey,
04:26just spinning along, looking extremely comfortable.
04:35There is a proper lead out in the back,
04:37and you can already see Wiebes there on the left side.
04:41It looks like Wiebes takes the 5th place, Vos takes 6th.
04:47Ahead of the duo, Maeve Skibaan decided to try and bridge across.
04:51Didn't last long, yet the 2 minute 30 gap soon tumbled
04:55as the peloton got back into its rhythm.
04:58Movistar taking up the reins from ST works
05:00as they climbed the Côte de Briez.
05:02The power from the Spanish outfit saw the gap drop a minute and counting.
05:08As they climbed the Côte de Montoix-les-Montagnes,
05:11the break knew their time in the limelight was on borrowed time.
05:14The yellow jersey group had them in their sights.
05:17Femme Van Empel is going to be first over the top of the final climb of the day.
05:22The gap at the top of this climb is going to be around about 21 seconds.
05:27It's a small group of riders.
05:29It did so much damage.
05:32But with just 6km from the finish, a dramatic twist.
05:43Oh, massive crash of riders.
05:45The yellow jersey is down.
05:47Demi Vollering has crashed.
05:49Pfeiffer-Giorgi has crashed.
05:51A massive crash of riders as they went into that turn.
05:55And the yellow jersey is down right now.
06:00Demi Vollering can't jump on the bike right away.
06:03She seems to be really hurt.
06:08Demi Vollering bruised and all alone.
06:11Her teammate Blanka Wasch found herself in the small, unaffected group of eight.
06:15Olympic champion Falkner and Emma Norsgaard for company.
06:18But it was Kasia Niwi-Adoma who had yellow in sight.
06:22Could the Polish rider make it double the lights come the finish?
06:26Attack of Kasia Niwi-Adoma with 1,200m of racing to go.
06:31She goes as soon as Chloe Dygert peels off.
06:35On her wheel goes Lippert, goes Norsgaard.
06:38Also Kristin Falkner.
06:42Blanka Wasch, of course, lost in the Olympic Games.
06:45And the medal was won by Kristin Falkner.
06:48Big attack of Liana Lippert.
06:50She goes clear now.
06:52Liana Lippert looking for the stage victory.
06:54On her wheel Kasia Niwi-Adoma and Blanka Wasch.
06:57Who is going to get this sprint?
06:59Liana Lippert, Kasia Niwi-Adoma.
07:01Blanka Wasch comes alongside Blanka Wasch and Kasia Niwi-Adoma.
07:06Blanka Wasch wins the stage.
07:09The Hungarian champion wins the sprint.
07:16Now it's all about time.
07:18Kasia Niwi-Adoma will be, I think,
07:23the yellow jersey of this Tour de France.
07:26Now it's a race for survival.
07:28As Damie Vollering, battle-scarred in the yellow jersey,
07:32fights for survival in this Tour de France.
07:35Famavic Zwift, it's a dramatic, dramatic end.
07:39Now we hope she's OK.
07:46It's crazy. I still can't believe it.
07:53I really did not expect this today.
07:55Because, yeah, I felt so bad during the race.
08:00And Loreno said to me, believe in yourself.
08:04And then, yeah, it had me a lot.
08:07But Damie crashed, so I have mixed feelings.
08:16It feels very special, for sure.
08:18I just learned about getting the yellow jersey a couple of minutes ago,
08:22so I feel like it still didn't really reach me.
08:26So, yeah, we're definitely happy about it.
08:34A dramatic and ultimately bittersweet day for SD Works.
08:38Blanka Wasch timed her sprint to perfection.
08:41After a bruising fourth place at the Olympics, this an amazing moment.
08:44The Hungarian champion's second Grand Tour stage success.
08:47Yet mixed feelings, as Wasch's team leader lost the yellow jersey,
08:51Niwa Douma the beneficiary of the day's big crash.
08:54The new leader, 19 seconds up of Faulkner,
08:57but 1 minute 19 on Depo's leader, Demi Follarin.
09:01Charlotta Cole was the last home, but beat the clock to hold on to green.
09:05Her cushion now 35 points from Marianna Voss.
09:09Puck Pedersen held on to polka dots.
09:11The Fennec de Koenig rider stays a point ahead of Silvia Persico.
09:16The 22-year-old also remains married to the white jersey by 45 seconds,
09:21third overall and still the best young rider.
09:25And now it's time for the mountains.
09:28How will that further shake up an already dramatic
09:31Jeu de France Femme of X-Swift?
