extended highlights, The Toyota frogs continues his
journey South now and it is another scorching day here. In
our Tour de France, live presentation, presented by
Viking believing City TN, we're heading tomorrow and it is
not a flat pride, and it is a scorching day of heat. It's
the 14th day of the race. Okay. Bobby. Let's have a look at the
Geico stage map for down towards the south of France. Never seen a Tian is a start town. Almost identical distance as
Today a little bit longer roll out. There's also five
categorized climbs out on the race course, very few miles
of flat roads, if any very hilly, part of France and it's absolutely stunning. Got a chance to ride the number
of the final kilometers. And we drove
from the third cat, 3 to the fourth, get
three on the way to the hotel last night. So he know that road
pretty well, and it's up and down through the Canyons
narrow roads, two lanes very fast at times. Also, So very, very tough
climbing all the way to moan and then a 2K climb that goes straight up at times
written on the side of the road by the local Cycling Club.
Gradients of 15%, it tops off with a k and a half before the
finish and it's a flat fast, run into
the line and I'm sure it's a perfect
launch pad for tentative. Okay, if it was
another two or three kilometers longer,
it would be ideal but he needs every second he can get and I'm sure he'll Jack, I'm not sure how much time
they'll get from you in the spring. You go.
I just sit on Walt been Arts wheel all the way to the Finish
Line. Probably won't lose full a whole lot. No matter how hard
tiny pool got, you can attack heading to the start. The difference to the hottest acts as Catalyst
limited edition socket 120, thank you. Don't start a business on stage
at 12:35 12:35 stage. 14 of the Tour de France between started again and mourned, 190
2.5 km of racing today and 157 Riders. Answer starts and the right from the start. We
have some attacking Yes. Well you heard it a hundred
and fifty Seven riders in the Peloton from the 176th
started in Denmark. We've had two full weeks of racing on the
road of the Tour de France. And that
we are immediately getting attacks from the gun today. I
think the Rives are tired of being dictated to look at this.
There was a few Riders who were plan. This one I do is grown in the red,
jersey, blue helmet, Lotto teammate. Caleb Yuan,
definitely. Not a Sprint stage who he's free to fly and find
the Breakaway. Brick group trying to get across
the Gap to these leaders, Chris Nilan, it's the blue jersey, taking his turn. Bike exchanges there, Chris,
you'll yinsen in second position there and pretty big group at the moment
trying to form on a day. When the Breakaway could succeed, Todd a piglet on the attack
while con art a bit of a Scramble for Jonas Ving ago.
If you think taddy is laying
down arms you are wrong. This is the
first time of the day. He's on the offensive and these no waited to the climb
to the Finish either, and having logo is going to have to
go after him here. Forgot you. He's never gonna take this race
lying down, but we all knew that the yellow Jersey, you may
have an advantage of two minutes and 22 seconds. The attack Is
On, In the Heat of the day 193 km to go in the officer Ended as
well on the left. Danny Martinez looks like the rider
with the yellow helmet, Daddy can get across to that.
That's a pretty strong do of their long ways. Ahead of all
the teammates except wild fan art of the race leader, Jonas
finger, go a very dangerous situation for the yumbo squad
are going to have Have to reassess what they're going to
do? The rest of the stage. See if pagasa can't get across
the Danny Martinez half, would
be a very strong Duo to chase
throughout the proceedings. You saw that pictures earlier with the waving arms of
the yellow Jersey as we do not climb there, looking for his
teammates to come and sort themselves out. I think they
were caught slightly off guard at the white jersey. Now, logged
into the back wheel of the yellow Jersey while Bernards is in the green leading his teammate in yellow Above is my have such a strong
team here that will be a shock to the
system because many violence against. Hey, we're going to
raise like this for the next hundred, eighty two kilometers. Somebody's going to be in big
trouble at the finishing moment. Thibaut Pinot following the EF
Rider. A couple of others from this Catherine of started by
that evil gotcha. I I it's so thrilling the way he
raised the absolutely love and Jake stop. Go against it. Probably wondering. What the
heck is going on behind him. He looked over his shoulder or he'll hear on the radio GC
battle is unfolding right behind looks like, Kenny
Martinez is about to get across. To the front group, big
group, could be a lot of allies for Teddy. Put, gotcha in that
depending on how things work out of countermoves, coming from that chase group, led by wild fan
art, I think contains thibaut pinot. And yes, is the Chasers that's Alexander vlahos off,
could be a long day for the yellow Jersey. Flash of is
testing the water as well. They're going to go after him.
Well, Bernard has wounded up, he's taking the yellow with him. And wear the yellow goes, the
White follows as they continue on the climb. Blast-off now, taking avoid the
19 rides to developing at the front are only 16 seconds
ahead now, and now he's gone
again and picked up the, this is amazing, but because
it's so far distance, got your team, helping him, he's doing
your own himself. This is something that Jonas should
avoid in my estimation. Trying to go with Talia. They go
mano-a-mano for the next hundred and twenty miles which
is about thinking about. Yeah, exactly. We might miss our lunch break. That would be fine to watch
racing like this. Phil. Well, this is action from the
gun. I know it is early in the USA at the moment of course,
but you were warming up to one terrific day of racing and these
are what we call the transition stages. The Peloton will be into. I'd
love to see a shot at the rear of the Not right now because I
would think it's caused a lot of tired legs back there. Just I feel Jensen is Rider on
the front Case by Chris Nilan sense. And right behind. This was the
original Breakaway barely barely got into their Rhythm on
the first climb before Teddy peggotty and Company launched. Some huge attacks,
Caleb you already in trouble. Oh yeah. Me if you don't catch
back to the Peloton over the top of this blind it's over. There's no way you
can get through this stage by yourself is Leslie heavily
bandaged. He fell on the left knee over another Rider phone. Top of him in that crash
yesterday. He was clearly hurt with that
knee. And I would imagine it's very,
very stiff today. Couple of points for need some
Powers at the top of this is in sixth place in the competition.
He gets to eat. Climb a little bit if you can do it one for
second place. You against the maybe not be too interested
in it, but this attack by Niels a
palace and Julian is awoken the sleeping Giants of the Tour
de France, very early today and they're not happy because that
Peloton is under pressure. Nelson to move himself two
points closer, eight-point deficit to start the
day. Thank you. Look pretty good in
polka-dots Bill. If you can do that, he's got the points on the
road in front of him, to get the lead Consignment guessed
yet. He's got to get in 37 points now, move some Powers, let me quickly remind your own
The Climb again, now guest is there, but powerless is also
near the front at the moment. Bob, nobody expected this today
today. No, I don't think Jumbo bhisma was ready for that and the Gap that Tad, I did open
up initially really shocking. So definitely have to agree with
Christian Christian. It's lame. The passions of the
other Riders, when you see the yellow Jersey, make a mistake
like that definitely gives you hope to further down. Wow. It's like white van art,
starting to open up Gap. So if if Jonas losses while fanart,
he's going to be in serious trouble. This far from the
Finish Line felt, that is pure and there's also Stephen crazy
week. Taddy is they're well, fed art is got already tons of miles of In his
leg in the Tour de France. So that's going to be, he's going to be pivotal to Patty, forgot, his hopes while fails than Jonas, might
not be that far behind. So, when you go down it depend on
his teammates and definitely looks like Tata has got a lot of brothers in arms. On this stage, Frank Bona more
most aggressive Rider in last year's Tour de France. And he's very strong, Breakaway
Rider and he's read the move so far and you thinking Maybe
they'll be a little bit of a truce actually sell these for
a moment and I can sneak off the front while that happens,
but I have a feeling, there's plenty
more aggressive riding to come from everybody in this
group, but the average speed is now over 30 miles an hour. Since
we started just 46 minutes ago and we have covered, 26 miles in
46, minutes is nowhere that poor Caleb. You could have
imagined that just in three quarters of an hour at the start
of the day, he be languishing. Ten minutes behind the leader on
the road. Frank Baltimore and that the Riders containing
Rockledge a still losing ground 2 minutes 12. He's yard being dropped off the
back around. Ian Trot Nick was on the offensive and he's now getting dropped. So
you really got to be careful of the attacks you make also getting dropped. Wow,
that's a real shocker telling teens.
Also one of the Bahrain attackers And this is the new credibly
difficult climb. The Alpine stages were in all honesty word, brutal for
the whole Peloton. Yesterday, was no walk in the park either, so, and we're deep into the Tour de
France. In the end of the second week starts today and at just pathetic, absolutely
brutal day that taddy attacks kind of expected that maybe Not this far from the finish
line, but how aggressive? The rest of
the Peloton has been it's been heartwarming if you are a fan of heart racing but if
you're on young Bove, yzma 1K to go for bonum or it is a serious problem. When
you extrapolate, what the writers are going through
for the rest of the day to be in deep trouble. This is
perfect for tidy pagasa. A really, really hard Dynamic
aggressive stage where you have to use all your resources. Has
over 100 miles or just under 100 miles from the Finish Line that's petersson with that. Red
number plate for most aggressive Rider yesterday, it'd have to be pretty
aggressive just to stay on the wheels by the top of this
climb as they continue and now guess
good want to put a couple of points. You see these chance
here to slightly increase his overly. If he doesn't capture
TracFone more it all together, Point put it will keep his lead
for sure. You'll see there's powerless
moving up, on the left hand side, he's up to third place
after the last 5 Min the competition your furnace of work to do. If
he wants to get a point Jessica has read it right? See if the teammate of Nielsen
Palace doesn't try to get the point away from its gas bill that would be I think Alberto bit to your second wheel so let's see if he doesn't try to pip. I guess go at the line. It's a palace about eight been
back of the bowl, but they look at this. The writing of Simon
gasket has brought him right up to the back here. Vulnerable
looks oversee, the polka dot Jersey. The Sprint's got to stop
pretty soon here. And this is going to be to life-saving
points for the leader of the king of
the mountains. If nobody passes before, the line Simon gets
compiled on the pressure. Bet your may try to take him in
favor of paulus, who is the other pink jersey at the
back of our picture, So let me guess you're very
clever. Putting in an attack while
Nielsen yeltsin's coming up. Let's see if petiole doesn't
drop back and try to lead Nielsen out or get the points
away from Jessica. He could swing in one point in the other
ills and looks to be struggling at the moment. So let's see if
if y'all can't at least get around time
to get stripper for the line. Well, this is ridiculous moves
off the road as this is an important Sprint for Simon
gets going. The polkadot Jersey
202 points. The Quinn Simmons is gonna go
from on the inside a squirrel, the party, perhaps.
This goes caught off guard. There Stephen does guess. It does
bring wanted to point. Has got the benefit of the inside
corner. We need the camera to pull back because I'm not sure
he looks as though. Quinn Simmons might have had the nose
there over Simon gets down. But that is really hurt the
Peloton. Yet again here, 54 minutes. Riding now still 95
mile or kilometer gift for miles to go and we're looking at the pellets
on, trying to bring a semblance of common sense to
the race here. These are the leaders of the tour in this
group. Look at the size of the Peloton, brother. Things are 57 Riders. 45 minutes ago. It's
almost the same size as their Breakaway at the moment. Wow, this is
amazing. What a great day. We Expect is, as we didn't expect
it yesterday, they're all going to try now by
because they don't believe they're going to keep this
pressure on all day long, but you form your own answer here
because you're more planet or Decay and forcing the white
jersey to counter. There is dead three teammates down to
Jonas finger, go from yambol bhisma. There is tidy package in the
white jersey. Got to be loving the preceding
so far. We make he's I think is the
rider with the lime green. Helmet coming across
to thibaut Pinot. Alberto Betty. Oh, I think that is Danny Martinez from any office with the yellow
helmet, red and blue jersey. One of the Borah Riders also
scrambling across the teammate, The Click, Brandon McNulty, or
maybe there's yellow Jersey group,
finally shutting things down, but I think it's Mark soul are
from UAE good, I lie for tidy pagasa. If peggotty goes off the
front will have a teammate with him in the break away. It
looks like at the moment. These are the leaders. Do you
make? He's now going to look for the king of the mountains at
lead here with Nielsen Palace. Lois Lane, Sanchez is in
the break, Pino Conrad, this is a good break
away. Strong ride is all one stage wins. By the way, Camden
polymer rallies in here, looking for lost time. Stephen King, Simon Jessica Martinez. Full sank betio Woods
is in this group as well. Mark solar must have found some new
legs, muehlberger, frank Baum or started this move grow
shorter. And Chris Nilan, sand Michael Matthews. Boy, everyone could, any one of
this group could win a stage today? They're all so good. Good
grab by Chris Neil. It's absolutely right. A lot of
tremendous climbers first time I've seen an eye socket, attach to the
water bottle with some tape. Grab the water bottle and cool
off the ice sock. We got a chance to look at
yesterday in detail so teammates with Krista's
Jakob, fogelsang Tremendous climber and Michael Woods. Also so good.
Riding looking for their second stage
win. Very strong possibility for are. Also getting the three
best climbers besides blasts over in the Breakaway bro.
Shortener came down and Patrick Conrad
stage winner. Last year in the Tour de France right there
and current champion of Austria thibaut Pinot The French Chef
very popular ride up on the attack again. Now, this is
Rockledge you could be the side aditi's
rejoice. And his team after being split off at the first
climb of the day. They've all slowed down, I hope the message gets back to
Caleb, you and he's on his own. I'll move a lonely road. Just
now, the problem for Caleb is if the other group that's off the
back component, containing a lot of the sprinters do catch,
this Peloton and the pay speeds up and Caleb is off the back.
He's just an absolutely miserable way. I'm sure he's being encouraged
by a sports directors from Lotto sudol layout. Caleb just
keep pedaling They hesitated in the front. There's a big group
in front of you, if they catch you to come back together and
you've got plenty of miles before the next climb to get back into the Peloton,
and he has to do that before they start a finale, the last 50
case, or it's not going to do you. Any
are is a potential for a Sprint stage tomorrow but this deep
into the tour even more possible. That's a breakaway. So you live is going to hang engine
is going to be tough. Who got you a friendly chat with
the yellow Jersey. Except goose and it's moments ago. He was
attacking him with every opportunity. Okay, so you must
be this time. Look at them just chatting. Now, they are two great friends but they are also
great sporting rifles. I think it's good to see all your therapist, not speaking
in the native Slovenian, with that type of culture, whose Heritage Paris, emigrating to
Leadville, Colorado, and then on down to Durango, Born and raised. See the undulations of the
mountains which abound here not terribly high but there are
other down throughout the day of racing face to gives nothing away on
either little chat with the green jersey. You will not score any points at
the screen point, just down the road, 1.2 km because there
are too many riders in front first 15. Get the points today
with what 18 litres. Elizabeth control, the Peloton
they welcome back, we must rub leaks a second that
the first year that I had ever got you up won the Tour. De
France is the one kilometer to the
Sprint but I don't think there's any reason to pour on
the path. Maybe the ice would be a better
suggestion. Bet your tried. His best in the staging
to reserve impressive solo. Sure. If the protest that day
helped or hindered him eventually, he was caught. The palace also joining b c o-- two thousand dollars up for
grabs. At the next Sprint point, but wild fanart, such a
commanding lead, the order of the Breakaway would
be to roll through that. I would imagine we shall see two grand. I'm not Sprint for
that bill. Well, he's in amongst the cause
hit getting drinks. That's other clearly not interested.
Now, this is the group as Front 23 riders in this front group
pretty unmanageable. Got it always play your cards
right? Best thing is you have great legs and you can follow
the forward rotation. If not you're going to have to keep
jumping across guys that are trying to get a free ride complicated situation in the
brake fluid with this many riders and so many good
climbers. It had also filled No, that took a little script
that just over the brow. That's help, but they're not the logo
other than carry off. The pace Temple here, they're going to
feel at this stage of the race, even though it's the lot way to
go Michael Matthews completed by tonight. He's just taking a few points there
because he's still a threat. A past winner of the green jersey
for Australia and is getting an easy 20
points. They're still 91.7 km to ride here. It's
been a very fast start today. So semblance have a
steady Pace but the Peloton 10 minutes back
the matching a little bit. Now the Breakaway were looking at a
deeper got you started a rough ride for most of the field today from the gun by attacking the
yellow Jersey over Jonas, finger go and the spread to humans group
is 1813. Our you just joining
us. We have a massive Breakaway of
23. Very strong bike riders. Here's all the names for you
main Keys. Need some palaces in this
Breakaway as well. One of two Americans up here. Welcome
volume a record player to run. Who's lost time? Trying to get
some back today. He's getting 10 minutes at the moment.
Michael Woods of Canada's up here as well. But Frank Baltimore was the
rider who started it, the Frenchman and there Quinn
Simmons in this move again today completely by Anwar hold of War. Where does the word convinced?
Now they're not going to be good with even though that all
19 1 km to go, we do finish up a climb out of mom that it levels out
and maybe race around the Airfield and slightly uphill
to the Finishing Line. Just looking at the Breakaway
here. There was looming Keys here. Now he is a twice. Eighth, overall
in the table has been in the doldrums for a couple of
years, but he is back, believe
me because Louis make his five
minutes, twenty one off the lead. So obviously he's the
leader of the Tour de France on the road, at the moment of this is the
virtual overall. So he's up. Now to eighth place 521 is his
current time Gap, pulling back his lost time. This is a good Escape, but Louis
make his has got better and better. You might. Call all
our plans to build fee. He was the rider that ran over carrying his bike and he said he got stones in the
gear mechanisms and he was very upset about that because he
was in amongst the attacks at the front and it brought him
to a halt in the city had great legs bomb and he's showing
that today where we just started that climb now and
this is Quinn Simmons on the front at the moment and there's the stats for you.
Six point three kilometers. North along one 849. Five feet
of climbing and 4.1%. Africa, we make, he's coming to the
front. These are the standings at the bottom of the climb
guest, get and Powerless. Both in this Breakaway, just keep rising out a one-point advantage in the first to plant
over Nielsen Palace. See you at that battle. Does going through the line with, with this Rider is not proven to
be very fertile, any of the other
Kom, The hunters. Let's see if Wilson Palace can't get the
better of simonjessica, but he's been having a great
defensive that polkadot Jersey. Never thought we'd see him get
all the way through the Alps and the king of the mountains
uses. So many points up for grabs, but the circumstances of
worked out in his favor, he has a slender lead over Looney, make this and that.
So thank you didn't go for the first two. Maybe he's
saving himself for all the energy required to win the
stage foot as the lineup. We now deal some
Palace in the move again today. Every breaker, this man chooses,
there's some Palace in the pink on the right there, as we look through the names, he
always seems to work kamla. Volume up. You ran. Come on,
let's go. I really would not like to pick
a winner from this group because they all can finish.
Well, Martinez fault, sang petiole, Michael Woods, solar
boober Gabbana more. He started this move, brush shot near Lance Michael Matthews,
Simmons, corn. Cause my father, So what a one-kilometer now,
from the top Lewis main keys in the center
and the yellow is colors flexing. Those legs, the lead of
the competition gets go with 44. Points is on the right
paulus early today. Moved up into third place is of 37
points. Now, main Keys has got his nose in the air, probably
sell. Just training around the corner
to see if he can see the finishing Banner. Michael
Matthews moving into the screen, and this is the
rider that's leading that kind
of keep his eye on. His
competitors, especially Nielsen Palace and Louis think he's
right in front of him and there's Harrison Palace in
the pink jersey coming forward. He does have a couple of
teammates that could lead him out for this, hypothetically
with Iran and Betty ol currently. Looking right into the number
plate of the king of the mountain. So Wilson Palace
has his Quarry in front of him. Let's see if he has the legs to
finish it off. I'm sure they'll both Sprint for it. I'm not sure
Louis makies. Will I tell you what? Quinn, Simmons is itching
to go for. This is just behind the polka dot Jersey of gasca Louis main case, who is the best
climate the group. Let's face it, but he's not the best
Sprinter of the group and he's getting a bit Twitchy, because
he could be in the polka dot Jersey with a few points today. Teach me more intent on getting
the drinks, but he's got that one so he's got to get rid of it
now because we're not only 500 metres from the summit and guess your again forced to
keep the tempo. Now, last time we did this simonjessica was
passed by Quinn Simmons, right on the line. Make his move to cross Michael
masses in the white top. The definitely gongyo because
power their palaces got into this. Now on the wheels of their
Princess Emma, the two Americans gone to the front,
chasing the point, I've never seen such interest in just two
points at the king of the mountains competition, Simon Get You clip the point
away from Nielsen Palace after Nielsen,
got to in his favor. So Wilson still nine points
behind so he needs these two and the finishing climbs. Also, the even have a
chance to tie. So, if gets you gets any coins through the rest
of the race, the Nielsen almost away for a day Palace, I thought it was gonna
go. Then he's about 150 from the line as far as I can.
Ascertain haven't got eyes. Literally, at
the back of my head right now, it gets good trying to write
them off as we know where all the boys and this in and says, I'm right
behind. You Simon gets get with this time. Gets get was
very, very determined to points and no point for
Nielsen Palace or Louis, make you. So extending
his lead, I don't think anybody else is gonna have it at the end
of today or tomorrow. So he'll go into the third rest
day, but Quinn Simmons, on the attack Nielsen Palace
reading that trying to get
across to that. Well, that's a very clever move
by Simmons. He wasn't going for the points. He was just going
for the attack. As soon as guess Curry eased up Wilson palace with two teammates in the wheels behind. But he has
to get across to the other American. Just in
front of him. The Borah Squad, they have three riders in the
Breakaway. You do not want to let this go up the road without
at least one of them in there about 60 miles from the next
climb. The coconut. Another three pointer to
pointer, but they really need to get
together because Simmons has got the Gap, but they've got to
push it home. Now, I'm Nielsen powerless on sitting
on, I've got two teammates right behind me, fix
your lender and they could win not helping anybody get up the
road at this point. Maybe later, he will be covering this attack, and
that's what's going to happen with the EF Riders. As long as
it have the legs for the rest of the stage that PO Box him in the van.
Malli could be very dangerous if he's played his cards right
throughout the day film, tell everyone for Tyrion in the pink jersey have to contort their vocab
solutely, right? And that are beginning to wind
up back in all of my job is a very
intelligent move at the wrong man. Goes back. Well
unfortunately, by Cream Simmons so you also have to wait for a
while. It's gone again. Is brother's gonna react here and watching Sheree
is gonna react here. You want to make sure there's a
bull rider or an EF Rider at least with you and in Israel
Premier Tech broader if not they're going to put teammates
on the front to chase. So you got to be very careful
with your energy at this point, Chris Nilan stri to get across.
So watch for yakup oogle saying to lend some support in these
inevitable. Attacks that are going to come all the way to the
finish line. Simmons has really settled into
the Tour de France. That's for sure. Over two weeks into this
race now, stage 14, and he's really enjoying
himself. This is the result of the code. The bronzer guest gets
to this time. Simmons gets one. So this year, the scores because the position of the
previous results and that this is given guess
Canal. 46 pinky Stay s. 39, need some Powers up to 30 days. 37 is getting Out Of Reach now for
everybody to take the lead away from gasket today, Simon gasket gets the king in
the mountain points directly after that. The man in dark blue
from Trek, goes on the attack. When Simmons Wilson, paulus expecting that in
the pink jersey, swing straight up to the wheel of
Quinn Simmons, covering for his two teammates
still in the group. Now, Michael Matthews taking his chance, Poppy, and Michael Matthews. A big
candidate today. Well, he watched a lot of the
attacks going off. Starting on
the Last climb and it decided I'm
going to lay down some serious law right now. This is going to
take some Reckoning from the other Riders. Let's see. It
gets across the Michael Matthews. Don't think he can get
all the way to the line solofill long ways to go, and there's a tough climb, it would need a lot. You would
need a couple of minutes over the pursuers at the bottom of
that, the hold off other Riders. He's got to remember.
There's three teams with three Riders each and if they have to, they'll sacrifice a couple of
guys to chase him down. Keep one Riders fresh. P.f., by the way, one of those
teams were three men rigoberto Iran, our Vector, B,
Co and Nielsen Paula. So Michael Matthews may be going a
little bit too early for my money film. We've got a reaction
here from the group. It looks like they're going to
track. This is Chrome. Having a dig at the front out for lotto. Audrey has grown a lot of
writer. Trying to get across to Michael Matthews. Got some work
to do almost 30 seconds down. Simmons is also taken up the
market here, so there's a lot of riders aren't going to allow
anybody to move, but may split the Peloton anyway. Robbie Hunter. Let's check in.
On the who you think might succeed in this Breakaway. Full. Well, I mean that's a hard
one to say right now. So much going on in the super
surprise. With Michael Matthews, having spoken to numerous
directors, here in the front Convoy, the movie star car, the
EF car and a couple other people, they all quite convinced the
riders that have got. The most teammates up here are going to
be going for the stage and who's that? That's Bora hands
grower that the Francis to share with Stefan
come for Pinot. Is the gas that they think I can
ride all day. Bring this to the bottom of the
climb. Thanks Robbie. What the moment
is, is Andres Corner, who is actually working here at the
front for lotto while. It's got four Riders, 21 minutes with
Caleb you in on his team. And this by the way, is the
Breakaway in the Tour de France. Its massive today, 23
Riders fragmented for the Moment by this were brilliant attack by the
Australian, Michael Matthews from Canberra. He's pouring on
the pace three Riders, tried to reach him
Bob and it looks behind is over as a lot of riders not
getting in the cells organized to bring this back. So far Louis
Leon Sanchez and the counter move trying to get
back across and under his grown, by the way, writers without teammates in the Breakaway. So find me f
or Israel. Premier Tech or Bora I'm not happy with this
situation of director of those teams. I'm going to send some
guy to the front until they rectify, the situation motorbike a little bit close for
comfort. My eyes are correct. And of course, the angle Yaya's out
from the The camera but still three guys going across to a
very strong writer, Michael Matthews and the teams with the numbers
all missed it. So I would be I would be on the microphone.
Telling them you guys get back up there or die, trying or you've come to the wrong Breakaway. Like that's the
way to lose the stage in the Tour. De France, just
watching this, for my break whale, the body size to me, are
they are going to do exactly what Bob Roland said, other than
the right. Way the head into the spring
board is four kilometers away on the Côte de la fours. If
they open Gap there I think that's it's because the
run out down to the Finish is a largely downhill so we get to the climb their
corn even that's the name of the climb up to Monde. We make
you think is in there. The chase of these. Four Riders, so 19 writers with
him. 43 seconds slower and break away from the Peloton,
but make he's now just around 13 minutes and so he was in up to eighth now he's up in the fifth. Wow,
impressive riding. He was in the front group PB up
into Podium. He's not tired, trying to underestimate it that
point yet, but God this has been a great great out. If he
has 10 minutes at End of today's stage will be
way up there in the top 10 and if you have some good days in
the Pyrenees look out for Louie make, he's
very clever riding today. We just started the climb and it's
four point two kilometers to the Top. If this Gap opens. No,
the time, 45 seconds, the difference. As we climb another 824 feet, this is the competition that
kink in the mountains, 46 for guests. You 39 for monkeys, 37
Powers there in the Breakaway, but none of them in those
leading for Riders, and that's the way. It stains over the top
of this than the be no change in the overall standings tonight, two more points. But what's the
Gap here? If this Gap grows for my money, those four Riders will
stay clear to the end as got to be reaction at this is
hurting. Absolutely hurting now because this is desperate
moments here but you'll do in the damage and really putting
people in the hurt tank and make he's included Mickey's.
Want to stay in this group to move up. If he doesn't do that, he won't
move up in the GC. Or when the stage very tough
acceleration by Alberto Bethel and he did take about 12 seconds
out of the four men in front and this is the damage Jessica
opening up the Gap. Mark, soul are trying to close it make.
He's also has lost the incentive. They're dropping out
of our picture. That opossum you Burger as well. So gross
partner and came to doing a great job.
They haven't brighter up the road. Say they just are
sitting pretty open. Don't want to fall down. Down,
that's for sure when you're in the chase group, but Bora riding
very well at the moment, with the superior numbers, making a good chance to give them self the
stage win. If the, for don't get caught in the front and then Conrad has a really
solid chance to win. And if they do, Chase are the other
Riders then came down. Also has a really good chance. It's taken for the regrouping a little bit
in the chase here. It's might be in that the efforts of betio.
It's coming to an end. Needs a bit more help because
the Gap is holding a 32 seconds. Get no help from war at the
moment of a mannequin. The right way this is rigoberto ran. All or Nothing for and here, go
and the chased him because he's the one they were mark. Came the right on that from
Bora. So, unless Rigo continues to be at a disadvantage chasing
with Kim Tan is weíll see how it looked like. It took
a lot of time out of the foreign front. Replace, two feet for rigoberto
around, gets a bottle of fresh presumably, but not persisting in his attack and
this hesitation. Now we'll give the Forum front chance to extend
their If Alice rejoining his teammates
around at the back of that group. And looks as though what we're
going over the top to launch an attack here, hoping that would be bit to your the any Martinez said a very up and down to the front so far then dropped in all the mountain
stages longer before the Finish Acapulco sang. Now,
putting in his attack to try to get up and Rectify things for Israel,
Premier Tech, the legs are aching. The faces are telling us
all the story that those Riders are now on their limit.
These are desperate moments for anybody from that group to
catch these four. I want kilometers to go almost
good enough to points at 1 km notified unset are still there on the
wheel of who will say, he gets over this climb can see
what the tactics of taper. Gotcha, when he gets to this
climb. How they unfold. And its sole
Heir, is not far in front, he could definitely wait. It's a
long ways over 14 minutes from the
leaders, to the Peloton at the moment in Seoul are goes on
the attack, they are desperate, they are
absolutely desperate. They know those four Riders could decide
this race, and each one has gone individually. And the
others just hang on there and all the names of his occur
in. This Breakaway will got four leaders. Newest Lane
Santos, Michael Matthews gross. It's that Chapman of Austria and address Grand. And here goes Tebow peanut, now,
is just trying to keep up your help us out, like he was
attacking her pup, but just to close the gaps,
Danny Martinez, that's all. That's all. 25 minutes, back to the youth
group. We reckon 35 minutes and he
might be eliminated from the Tour de France with his
three teammates. Hiding in dude, from his crash,
yesterday was the rider drop by himself soon. After the start
today, we make it with at the very back
when those attacks happened. So he's had some
ground to cover up cover, and he's done that. So he's in this
Chase group, 30 seconds behind and that gives
him 13 minutes. 45 seconds ahead of
the Peloton lose make it, at least he's in a
big group, you can sit on the wheels to the final climb
and keep his GC hopes of Moving up
very much alive. Also, the game for this group
Matthews gets the Kom points. With Patrick Conrad getting one point. There were nothing about the KO ends. Just
stage win, Solaire goes again. Mark, soul are making a big
effort here. We make these on the front. Not
sure if he has that type of explosive power, I don't know he
does, but he's staying. There is the diesel engine as we
come up over the top of the climb. Superb, riding by me kisses. You
looks over but he needs help out. 26 seconds. So the ten Riders is
little group here. Half the distance behind the four
Riders on the climb. So that
gives them hope that they can still
get on terms here. We're going to get a whole
series of descents very fast descents. They came just trying to come
across rigoberto, trying to get on his wheel. But
that's a good move by Soul are at least
he's not Towing anybody across sure. He would prefer that came
to didn't get off to his. Could be grow sharpener. But
whoever it is, they have a teammate on Bora up the road
in the for FrontRunner looking at the chases head house
about form on the 16 miles away. Everybody wants to
win a stage while the battle for the yellow Jersey is being
enacted some. 40 minutes behind these riders today, all good Riders. And looking for a stage win in
mon-sol are bet you'll Martinez and came not being chased by
Woods TV. Alpina Louis monkeys and that's another one of the
Borah Riders, Felix gross partner, and rigobert to around
on his wheel, long ways down the road for the
others that were in the Breakaway previously. But
all of these Riders, chasing the four men in front and having
a very tough time of doing. So, getting back this down to 22 seconds. These groups come together. The
taxes will chain all change. Oh wait a minute we have I think
Andre has grown from the first four. That could be a big
difference in how this Explains out. Phil, what's happened is your flat
tire? It looked like, wow, it's just come out of the,
how lucky is that? That is a worst, possible luck. Might be
a while before his team car gets there. Let's go. Do some
force that Shimano is there. Lucky not to crash on that
corner. So lucky that because that loud
leaves and Matthew Sanchez are gross shot that won't back down in the Firepower
at the front. 25 KMS. Go just have a look on. The
right here. You filthy animal is the front
wheel. I would think the way he's losing control of the bike
that Did well. But so unlucky War, we
almost went down the ditch as well as off mining in that
driveway but very bad. luck for presuming. He was a punk. He did
this over to the corner. But anyway, no, he was
definitely trying to clip out before that. Yeah, it could not
be worse. Look for a lot of sudol so far in this tour.
They've had a really hapless tour. I totally agree with the
stuff to get you agreed to trade, his teammates, 26 ends, back on his feet. We've estimated around 35, to 37
minutes, will be the elimination today. We don't
know the actual timer to live with it. Crosses the line. Let's have a look at the virtual
standings now. Louis make is as gone from eight to
four thin, this Breakaway today earlier, he's up to second now.
He's down to 4th 227 of the Facebook starting the day in
13th, by the way. So that's impressive. The race to the summit is on to
bring a state's 14 to an end in more little 3, km climb, it's
not the finishing line on the top either. We've got a race
around to the Finish slightly less than 2 kilometers left to
right when they cross guest, goat will lead in
the king of the mountains. Tomorrow, the way it looks right
now, with his 46 points, main Keys has come up in the
second place and paulus into third in that competition as 5
3, 2 & 1. Now available on the top on what they call them want a
launch. The bear. The first Rider to
bring the race in too long. The big thing is the stageman
Bob. We saw Michael Matthews. Set the trend, is he going to
stay away? Well, Jakob fugelsang. And Michael Woods
would rather, he didn't. They're trying to chase Louis,
Lance Sanchez. It's a very steep climb. I have a feeling that in 19
seconds deficit. Somebody's been cooling, their Jets saving
their legs and might just have enough energy to get back to the
leaders, but Michael Matthews wants to calculate it too. Perfection. He has to do another
couple of kilometers of climbing and even if he has a
small Gap or he's with other Riders, he should be the
quickest to the Finish Line. This is Matthew's on the top,
giving it all, as he always does with his riding style. He
was under 23 world champion in 2010 in the world championships
were held for the first time in the southern hemisphere in Geelong in Australia. Michael Matthews now stamps on
those pedals Louis Leon Sanchez. This is a typical move.
By the Spanish Rider. He loves the uphill finishes. He
succeeded four times in re-ack. Sanji wrong, subfloor, and flop. All not far from here. Let's see
if we got bear to around number 141, doesn't have just a
little bit of power left to try to get across to the leaders or thibaut Pinot. He lost. Very
dramatic finish to Steve Cummings, a few years ago. Let's
see if he doesn't have the legs to finally give the
French a win. And his group AMA Squad, Russia
has crack King crush on is cracking and
you may have seen this coming around that corner Patrick. I'm sorry Patrick Kong
like Yep. This land Sanchez opening the
Gap but he did that up into root image. Evan almost pulled it
off. So maybe just letting Michael Matthews set the tempo Matthews, riding so well,
Sanchez in trouble. Conrad's trying to concentrate,
get back to the, we love Michael Matthews but what a
spectacular climb from the very quick finisher, Michael Mann.
Use still the champion of Australia.
Has gone off the back there. Now. He's not
cracking. Horse gone, guess Gap right? At the back of the race.
Now there's a desperate moment here. This is Betty. All trying
to reach them. Caiman has been dropped. Number
44 struggling, also thibaut Pinot number 97. This is quite stable doesn't
look like it, but it is really tough to that Matthews is
kemetic. This is almost lights out for the bike exchange Rider.
Michael Matthews a long time, between stage wins in the
Tour de France. This is the yellow strip, the
steepest part, And this is the chase rather
disorganized at the moment. The legs, surely will surrender
on a lot of these Riders. Now there is the yellow carpet all
laid down from Michael Matthews of Australia and bike exchange
Jayco. He's been looking for this win
for 14 days in his, not gonna throw this one away 1.6, km to
the top. Betty. Oh, coming across from the chase group. Alberto bet you're making a race
of it. Michael Matthews won't have a runaway. I would
give Matthews the advantage in a Sprint. And Betty, oh, maybe a
little More powerful on the climb. This is going right
down to the wire between these
two Riders. It looks like So stuck into the cloud line
said, Michael Matthews looks over his shoulder. Now, you
won't see it, he's riding upon the crowd line. It's an inspired
Chase, he's in a lot of work and not quite succeeded
yet. Alberto bet your buns at 3 kilometers this time that's your doesn't like the
Yankees. After the side of the payment I found that tree
slippery. When I wrote up today Michael Matthews not too worried about that in
the saddle. Only a few hundred meters to the
top of the climb. Then it flattens out. Little to sit one
right hand. Left hand and there's the Finish Line right in
front of you, three kilometers to go, the
yellow carpet lining the way to the top of the sky. Came to having trouble rigoberto
Iran, thibaut Pinot in trouble and bet
y'all about to make contact with Michael Matthews. That's y'all reach his Matthews.
It still might be Advantage Matthews if he can,
hang on to bet y'all on the climb, it's not a heli finish. It's
slightly uphill Matthews. Has a strong man Sprinter maybe bit.
Your doesn't want to risk, going to the line with Matthews.
That would not be a bad tactic. If you have the legs, try to get a Little bit of
an advantage in, hold off, Matthews to the Finish. He most
certainly is quicker on paper, but it's been such a long hard
day and tour. Maybe bet you'll spent so much energy, catching
him, and needs to catch his breath. For a moment, another incredible day of racing in the
Tour de France, Matthews, who started the Breakaway got rid of
his Breakaway partners and now he's got more problems here.
With Alberto Betty. Oh, who's come up behind him? Matthews has been announced as
the most aggressive Rider of the day Alberto vessel in his
fourth Tour. De France, has finished deal of three and Paris
has. Now got to the front, he's never won a stage though. And this is, his
moment can Matthews. Hang on here.
Michael Mack is gonna grit his teeth. Dig as deep as he's ever
dug before the try to stay on the wheel of Alberta Betty Lee's
up to the measure, he just needs a few meters behind.
He can close the gap on The Descent. Finish bet, you'll knows he's
gotta drop Matthews to have a chance to win the stage,
absolutely, right? Bob Matthews knows that just as well. He just
looks at the road. He still think though, no one
kilometer still decline. He's gonna hold them in his gun
sights and bet. Y'all knows he's got to
get out of those gunsights Matthews. Doing the job. He
needs to at the moment, getting back on the wheel of betio
struggling. He knows if he can do that. Got a great chance to
add to Dylan Corona, vegans win for bike Exchange. It's been a long time since he
had a Tour stage win and he's closed right now. He's got a
really great as teeth and try to stay on the wheel Betty. Oh,
and needs to drop him dramatically. That's he's just starting to
lose the, the disadvantage. He needs
looking down. He needs to get back to the wheel. Let's see if
he doesn't have a little bit of a Sprint, he's going to turn,
right? He can see the Kom point, but Betty oval have that
in his sights a little bit before Michael
Matthews. Let's see if Matthews can get there. Matthews is still
going to see you never Each a tougher character than
Michael Matthews. If he can smell Victory, he's not going to give up and
he's coming into the easiest section a top, not till it easy
and then it'll tip then it's downhill. Then we're around the
Airfield turn and come up a steady slope to the Finish
Line. Petiole is getting enough and
Matthew knows it for it hasn't been cut Yet.
Michael Matthews is close enough
to get back on the wheel. Over the
top of this climb, if he has any energy left, 1.3 miles to go 6/10 or 600
meters still to climb. It could mean a victory or not. If Matthews doesn't close this
Gap. I choose it to km from the
Finish, he's the top is just under that banner and that is
downhill the further down the, slopes, at the moment. Now, this is thibaut Pinot. But further down the solo on the
frontier white down, the mountain collecting himself, taking a
deep breath about the girl's. Back up to bed to y'all. He's
got himself back. I'll tell you. If you wanna be a pro by
cliking, think they find it easy. This man never gives a
pretty attacks again. All cameras could have where we
got nothing to do with that. And now we are seeing Michael
Matthews has gone. He's gonna lift his face and take a bet
y'all into the Joan. Where Betty old seem to be
a man? Michael Milken acceleration. Try
to erase the disappointment of two second places. And if he's this fall in front
of betio before the top of the climb, there's no way better
yields rent winning the stage today. Michael Matthews just a kilometer and a half before a glorious stage win. It's been a long time and he's
put everything into the Breakaway. Clever writing
throughout the day, but a real show of power also felt. So Michael Matthews is an hour.
With the top of The Climb. By the way, is his seven Tour de
France. He's won two stages in his career, three stages in his
career. Killer one year, catch your
breath, a couple of downhill Corners before the last right
hand, and last left hand to the runway, and the Finish
Line fed to. Y'all gave everything he had to try to
drive Matthews. He knew he had to do that before the Finish.
Have a chance at winning, but Matthews, tenaciously, fighting
back 1K to go and a stage. Went for
Michael Matthews within his grass soon as she can't see, it wise
back. Checking over the recovery of Alberto petiole.
Had to see thibaut Pinot days back here when he was in
for the win here it did not bring Steve Cummings run back in the thick of it. Again
this is the swing down to the Airfield. Now they go downhill, but they turn
to come up here to the Finish shakes. His head easy can't
believe. He cannot believe this. This is gonna be some
Victory celebration guaranteed, he's just making sure. And then
he's inspired, I combat use 31 years of age in October, he is tried and tried and tried.
And the Victory is going to be his, let's be one, big victory,
salute. Well, how well deserved was.
That Michael Matthews was the last man to attack and he
made it to the line. Betty. Oh, we'll finish in second place. He
really a great to do that all day. Be desperately
disappointed. We can only do what you can do.
He had a great ride today. The souls on the shirts of
tactical. Gotcha, after a hot hot day here, Kom Point by the trees, may be your last chance for tati
to attack. But at this point, that might be
counterproductive being ago. Having another great
day in the yellow Jersey Katana is doing the background
of God. I told myself, go, do doing it left. Its these are now heading up toward
the summit now. It's a downhill, speak to the Finish. To be a Sprint between the two
of them. And there's no time bonuses for
the because of the first realize that the day. So this is
real-time finish your game so they must even drop off. In
the Sprint, you must finish. The locked in side by side, so
you're not split time. One kilometer to go take about a minute to set and
then a couple of quick Corners before the finish, I'm the only finger go. I just
sit on the Wheel from 34, gotcha. Maybe a little bit of a Boost to
go over the line first, but bingos not going to lose any
time on today. Stays totally forgot you he's not
gonna gain any time. On today's date were taking us waste to
caucus at tomorrow, a flat o roads and then tomorrow night
when they have a fever, the rest day they will look out of the
windows at the Pyrenees and what a battle with a swinging into the Straits. Just to the batter to make a
point speed ages. Leave this back to taking
over he's going to speak is going to follow. The two great Riders, the only
two were better wore the yellow Jersey apart from stage, one are
going to give out he spins all the way to make his show to
Great Riders. Can we together? They cannot be split by time and
that is the target of finger go. So the Gap tonight is still be two minutes and 22 seconds
between those two Riders. It's ages, all then, Bob Matthews wins 15 seconds, better
than bet. Y'all in the end 34 seconds, a team of Be
well, 50 or more solar. 58 seconds on
Patrick combat, death from Austria. See if we can take you any
further down that list, not all in that leading Riders
of the day. You're going further down got shot. I was
seven other Austrian riding a gray
gray gasket ninth and Luis Yankees 10th in the end of one
minute. 12 is good. Things of the world of good though. In the
overall tonight rigoberto who ran Louise, Leo, Sanchez almost made
it with crack big-time only cross. The line in 12th at
the end of the day, no change in the top two, that will be
time. It's is Karen, Thomas is there, but gone
out to 243 Rome aboard a fourth as they
were this morning. But 303 Adam Yates fifth as it was this
morning, but the time gaps of Jane's 406 Quintana kept his
place. But look at these Louis monkeys.
Climb six places eating in the Breakaway. Seventh
in the tour. Now he's never finished that high in
Paris. He's twice finished eighth, David go do was a loser.
He dropped a place. Big cock went down one Henry. If Mass also went down, 110 minutes exactly. You're on the
road, you're living in a different continent. He's got
a from Australia, obviously being over here in sacrificing
this is what it's all worth. Found it interesting that he
said he time to squint wrong when he finished second on stage
8. And he knew this was really his last best chance to
do this here at the store. That's really tomorrow. Most
likely, it could be a Big Spring. It
could be another Breakaway. He was lamenting the fact that he
didn't make it into the Breakaway yesterday, but he
would have met medicine as well, so to take things into his
own hands. And what a stage of do it on. Jonas. I don't know, Chris. I think I'm
looking better and better by the day. He is look, he looks so good. I
mean I don't think he was under too much distress today. I
really don't, I can't argue with you. Those are the facts,
there's no doubt about that. Covered every acceleration and
yumbo ran full gas all day.
