00:00A little lumbar is coming back, but this is very, very, very good for the lumbar.
00:06Eddie Dunbar is under the flat lunge and he's got 157 metres to go.
00:11The red jersey group comes under the flat lunge, they've got 1,000 metres remaining,
00:15but more and more riders have come back into the flavour things here in that group.
00:19Meanwhile, Dunbar has extended his lead, it's gone from 9 seconds to 17 seconds,
00:26and Max, once again, he's turning the screw, he's turning on the tap and he's starting to accelerate,
00:31knowing that O'Connor is back, but now he's being distanced again.
00:35He's right at the back of the group, Landers being distanced,
00:38O'Connor hanging on for everything he's got, he turned back right now,
00:42and meanwhile, the grimace on the face of the Irishman,
00:45Eddie Dunbar backing up forward.
00:48He has to give absolutely everything, because again,
00:51Terrapaz is going to get frustrated with Terrapaz just sliding on his wheel,
00:54and every time they do the accelerate, it's the same trio, 600 metres to go.
01:01Terrapaz, out of the saddle, making the acceleration, just over four and a half hours of racing.
01:09Stage 20, the penultimate stage of this race, the final mountain stage,
01:13and this is painful, he takes a look around and the road starts to ramble once again.
01:18The Slovenian flag in the background, as Roglic comes to the front of that group in the red jersey.
01:23He goes to move from Lander from behind, and he starts to open up the gap, going for some more time,
01:29but he wants to try and come back, and the big challenge for Mikko Lander
01:34is the fact that Eddie Dunbar is up the road, and he wants to try and go for the stage.
01:37What has he got left? This is an agonising finish, and now Matt starts to make the acceleration.
01:44Back in the saddle, Roglic, keeping things under control and keeping calm.
01:49Terrapaz following Roglic as he stands on the wheel, and now the battle for the stars to be distanced.
01:54They come into the hordes of fans.
02:06300 metres for the Irishman, he came into this Grand Tour having never won a Grand Tour stage.
02:13He'd gone through so many trials and tribulations, injuries, having to come back from adversity,
02:18and right now Eddie Dunbar is coming into this Grand Tour, and he's stamping his authority.
02:24On the penultimate stage, on the final mountain stage, he comes into the barriers,
02:28he's sprinting for everything he's got left.
02:31150 metres remaining for the Irishman of Jacob Alula.
02:35What a performance. He looks around over the right-hand shoulder.
02:40He pushes up, he's got a few hundred metres left, and he's got no-one in sight.
02:46Well, fortune favours the brave, and the brave is rewarded.
02:50Eddie Dunbar is a two-time Grand Tour stage winner.
