1
00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:25,580
Winning Alpe d'Huez
is a dream for any cyclist.
2
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,780
It's a mythical place.
Where we know we will make history.
3
00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:35,040
Winning Alpe d'Huez was amazing.
4
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,240
When you're dominant
and you're winning all the time,
5
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,040
people want somebody else to win.
6
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,820
As Team Sky, we did so well.
It was all about the Tour.
7
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,900
And we were so successful.
It was seven out of eight years we won.
8
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:55,800
Then the reason INEOS came on board
to sponsor us was because
9
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,240
of that success in the Tour.
10
00:00:57,820 --> 00:00:59,960
But we haven't won
the Tour in three years.
11
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,120
This year, Geraint Thomas
is holding on to fourth place,
12
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,300
and the British INEOS team
have yet to win a single stage.
13
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,980
A team like this has to win.
Now, we have to take more risks.
14
00:01:14,060 --> 00:01:17,260
We have two strategies.
One, make sure that Geraint is protected
15
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:19,020
for the general classification.
16
00:01:19,060 --> 00:01:20,960
The second is to go for a stage win.
17
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,300
But it's a gamble.
You never know how it's going to play out.
18
00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:29,080
To win a stage of the Tour,
it can change a rider's life.
19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,720
But for me personally,
you've always got the yellow jersey
20
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,780
in the back of your mind,
and that's the big goal.
21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,700
The pressure is massive.
22
00:01:40,860 --> 00:01:45,860
TOUR DE FRANCE: UNCHAINED
23
00:01:48,460 --> 00:01:52,980
AT BREAKNECK SPEED
24
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,160
END OF STAGE 11
25
00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:01,540
Jonas Vingegaard takes the yellow jersey.
26
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,820
I have no words.
27
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:08,940
We have been witness
to a brutal, terrible, nightmarish stage.
28
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:10,940
These riders gave everything.
29
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,520
Geraint Thomas stays in fourth place
30
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,120
in the general classification
31
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,540
after a stage that set
all the favourites head to head.
32
00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:21,120
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
YELLOW JERSEY
33
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,820
That was
fucking mental, wasn't it?
34
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,320
- Good training for the Pyrenees.
- Oh, man!
35
00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:39,800
One guy today, top of the Galibier...
36
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:42,520
just stood in front of me going, "Rah!"
37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,636
But he didn't fucking move.
38
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:44,660
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,220
A right knobhead. Like, at last minute...
40
00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:49,500
I was just expecting him
to move last minute, like...
41
00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:52,220
Do you not remember that?
42
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:54,700
It's intense.
43
00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,580
- Right, I'll see you later, butt.
- Ciao, butt.
44
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,100
My role has changed
this year in the team.
45
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:05,600
I'm a bit more of like, uh...
46
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:07,280
a squad captain, so to speak,
47
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,620
um, rather than the out-and-out leader.
48
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,660
We've got a lot of strong young guys,
49
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:15,020
and the focus has turned
more towards them.
50
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,280
You all right, Tom?
51
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,100
How was your day?
52
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,480
I just feel like
Jumbo took control of the race.
53
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,360
Yeah.
54
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,920
TEAM MEMBER / INEOS GRENADIERS
55
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:28,520
And we, well, didn't.
56
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,580
We came in saying we were
going to keep pressuring Jumbo, but...
57
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:36,560
we didn't do anything
to do that, you know?
58
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,420
I'm Tom Pidcock.
59
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:47,220
I ride for the INEOS Grenadiers.
And it's my first Tour de France.
60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,680
I'm an Olympic mountain bike champion.
61
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,620
World champion in multiple disciplines.
62
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:04,040
He is this wonder-kid of global cycling.
63
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,420
He can climb.
64
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:08,460
He can sprint.
65
00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:13,440
On the descents,
he is completely fearless.
66
00:04:16,020 --> 00:04:19,860
He's one of the few cyclists
that is genuinely exciting
67
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:21,440
when you watch him race.
68
00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:27,060
He has proved his ability
to win in other disciplines.
69
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,616
But he's young. He's still learning
the ropes of this discipline.
70
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,640
EX PROFESSIONAL RIDER
71
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,280
I don't know what to say, to be honest.
He's taking the piss, isn't he?
72
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,420
He's yet to prove
his abilities on the road.
73
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,880
Whoo!
74
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,800
So, coming to the Tour de France
with Team INEOS, it's a risk.
75
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,640
Since turning pro,
I haven't done many stage races,
76
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,280
so I haven't really...
77
00:04:52,260 --> 00:04:53,700
yeah, tested myself.
78
00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:56,660
For me, it's difficult.
79
00:04:57,180 --> 00:05:02,800
I'm in the biggest bike race in the world,
and I'm not really enjoying it that much.
80
00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:09,220
My role is kind of a few things.
81
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:13,760
Learn, gain experience for the future,
and basically riding on the front.
82
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,460
Taking the wind for other people.
83
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,100
That's the job.
84
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:22,380
The support riders for the Tour,
we call them "domestiques."
85
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:25,880
It's the traditional name
for a rider who supports a leader.
86
00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:29,960
"Domestique" literally means servant,
87
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,060
and that is the role
that those riders are here to serve.
88
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,820
You're the person
who's going to the side of the road
89
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:39,380
to pick up the bags of food
and the multiple bottles
90
00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:41,220
and stuffing them down your jersey.
91
00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:42,920
Does anyone else want anything?
92
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,700
- You got Hydro in there?
- Yeah.
93
00:05:45,940 --> 00:05:48,960
Tom has two bottles of water,
if anybody needs water.
94
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,700
Yeah, I'll have one, mate.
95
00:05:51,620 --> 00:05:52,960
G would like some water.
96
00:05:54,820 --> 00:05:56,340
It's not very fun,
97
00:05:56,380 --> 00:05:59,620
but if you understand the purpose of it,
it's an important job.
98
00:06:00,540 --> 00:06:03,940
For some, it's a dedicated role.
It's all they ever do in their career.
99
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:05,560
They perhaps never win a stage.
100
00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:08,980
I'm 100% down
for helping my teammates
101
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,720
whenever they need me to.
102
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,040
But when the day is better suited to me,
then yeah, I want to be able to race.
103
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,940
How do you think we
should use the team best for you tomorrow?
104
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,760
- Think we should continue...
- As we have been.
105
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,300
If we were
to send Tom up the road tomorrow...
106
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,540
Send him up the road for what?
107
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,720
Well, yeah, to win the stage.
108
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,280
I don't know
why you'd risk that, like, now.
109
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,300
We have to take a risk.
110
00:06:35,340 --> 00:06:38,080
If we're not prepared to take a risk,
we're not going to win a stage.
111
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,760
He can try if he gets in the break.
112
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,940
But, ideally, I'd say
Tom stay with us tomorrow.
113
00:06:43,980 --> 00:06:46,400
That's obviously
because I'm thinking of myself.
114
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Sometimes strategy
for general classification,
115
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,780
you've got to stay
consistent every single day.
116
00:06:53,820 --> 00:06:56,700
It's all about the end game,
not the actual individual stages.
117
00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:59,560
So, for Geraint this year,
it's all about the end game.
118
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,220
Make sure that
the general classification is protected
119
00:07:02,260 --> 00:07:04,440
every step of the way,
all the way to Paris.
120
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,960
We've got to look after Geraint,
121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,700
but also look to give somebody
the opportunity to go for the stage win.
122
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,320
What do you think's
possible for you tomorrow?
123
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:21,420
I don't know,
but how is the break gonna get away?
124
00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:23,220
'Cause it's uphill
from the start, basically.
125
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,240
It's quite violent.
126
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,100
How do you even play this day, I mean?
127
00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:31,400
Up down, up down...
128
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,820
Hundred and sixty-five K.
129
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Just my opinion...
130
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:40,520
I think you should look
at tomorrow as an opportunity.
131
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,660
With your characteristics,
you can pretty much win that stage.
132
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Gonna be hard, isn't it?
133
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,696
I might be wrong,
doesn't really matter what I believe.
134
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,440
It's more important what you believe.
135
00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:56,260
With Tom, it's exciting when
you get a new rider as talented as he is
136
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:57,780
to explore, like, his potential.
137
00:07:58,620 --> 00:07:59,880
But at the same time,
138
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,240
with that comes a certain pressure.
139
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:07,520
He has to perform,
and performing in this team is winning.
140
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,880
STAGE 12
141
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Welcome to stage 12.
142
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,920
Today is Bastille Day.
143
00:08:33,460 --> 00:08:35,300
The crowd is going completely crazy.
144
00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:44,660
One hundred and sixty-five kilometres
in store today,
145
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:49,520
finishing on Alpe d'Huez, the most
iconic climb of the Tour de France.
146
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,200
It's a legend
written by champions,
147
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,180
after epic battles, of course.
148
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:02,040
Sometimes, the exuberance
of the crowd can be scary.
149
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,160
It's a place like no other
in the history of the Tour de France.
150
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,620
GENERAL DIRECTOR
THE TOUR DE FRANCE
151
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,960
Today it's Alpe d'Huez.
You can put on a real show.
152
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,100
CEO / GROUPAMA FDJ
153
00:09:16,420 --> 00:09:18,340
The riders roll into town.
154
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,880
We are in for some fireworks today.
155
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,180
So, yesterday was
one of those days, right?
156
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:32,900
We've all had them.
157
00:09:33,660 --> 00:09:36,120
And it probably
isn't going to be the last one.
158
00:09:37,020 --> 00:09:39,020
You're maybe going to suffer a bit today.
159
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,120
If you look on the profile, it looks like
something from Lord of the Rings. Right?
160
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,860
EF Education First is definitely a team
that is polar opposite to Team INEOS.
161
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:52,480
They are a team of misfits.
162
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,020
They are relatively a small budget team.
163
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:57,916
But for some of those riders,
the younger riders,
164
00:09:57,940 --> 00:10:00,420
this is the opportunity
you've got to grasp.
165
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:01,800
- Francesca!
- Francesca.
166
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,420
This year, they face relegation,
167
00:10:03,460 --> 00:10:05,740
so they're coming into the Tour
with a lot of pressure.
168
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,300
It's so important
that they perform in the Tour de France.
169
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:12,700
Because if they don't,
they're gonna lose their sponsors.
170
00:10:13,740 --> 00:10:15,720
The revenues that keep the teams alive
171
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,600
are derived almost entirely from sponsors.
172
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,080
If we're not commercially successful,
173
00:10:21,780 --> 00:10:24,000
our team is not going
to be around very long.
174
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:26,340
For us to survive,
175
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:29,300
it's imperative that our team
gets noticed in this Tour de France.
176
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:33,800
A lot of that comes down to our leader.
177
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,260
My name is Rigoberto Urán.
178
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,240
My role in the team is to...
179
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,600
bring joy. To make the guys happy.
180
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,740
My first Tour de France was in 2009.
181
00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:52,940
You needed to be 27, 29, 30 years old
to complete the Tour.
182
00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:54,980
Nowadays, at the age of 21, they win it.
183
00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:59,560
Rigo, he's a natural leader.
184
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,120
He's finished on the podium
of the Tour de France.
185
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,440
He's an Olympic medallist.
186
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:07,400
The guys, they all look at him
just sort of...
187
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:09,020
in awe.
188
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,580
He's their hero.
189
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:16,000
In the Tour de France, most teams are
there to support one... one person.
190
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,940
So, for our team,
we would support Rigoberto Urán.
191
00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:21,160
So there's seven riders there for Rigo.
192
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,900
Unfortunately, Rigo's had quite the run
of bad luck in this Tour de France.
193
00:11:25,940 --> 00:11:28,120
STAGE 2
194
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,900
Oh, he's down!
195
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:31,760
Rigo down! Rigo down!
196
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,800
Oh, fuck!
197
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,580
And Urán is in trouble.
198
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,880
Rigoberto Urán is having
a problem with his chain.
199
00:11:41,020 --> 00:11:42,860
STAGE 8
200
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,600
A big crash
with lots of riders on the deck.
201
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:55,840
Rigoberto Urán is back at the medical car,
202
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,680
and now you can see
the injuries to his right arm.
203
00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:02,140
Rigo has scars
from head to toe.
204
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,780
I mean, he's got one shoulder that sort
of leans down more than the other one.
205
00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:08,860
He's a pretty beat up old warrior.
206
00:12:09,940 --> 00:12:12,380
The team has to find a new path forward.
207
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,320
STAGE 10
208
00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:19,600
They're gunning for the finish line.
209
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,980
And Magnus Cort goes full throttle.
210
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:26,100
He's over the line!
211
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:38,840
Even though we have been able
to pull off a stage win, it's not enough.
212
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,300
We need to be in the running
each and every day
213
00:12:42,820 --> 00:12:45,160
to get the points just to survive.
214
00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:48,440
Who is the rider most suited
to winning this stage?
215
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,700
Neilson Powless stands on his pedals.
216
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:55,060
Every day he tries to make
the right choice and go all the way.
217
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:56,100
Oof!
218
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,320
- Come on! Come on Neilson! Go!
- Come on!
219
00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:09,080
Look at Neilson Powless.
He's giving it everything he's got!
220
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Right now, he's physically
at the best point that he's ever been at.
221
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:18,860
I came to
the Tour de France riding for Rigo.
222
00:13:19,860 --> 00:13:23,360
But it seems like the crashes
started to catch up with him.
223
00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:26,620
So now I have to step up for the team.
224
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:38,140
To train for the Tour de France,
225
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:40,960
you have to live like a monk
and just be at altitude
226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,500
for three months a year.
227
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,320
All these crazy diets to go on
228
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,180
to make yourself skinny
so that you can show up at race weight.
229
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:52,080
I had to leave my home.
230
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,640
I had to leave my family.
231
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,840
Relocate to a different part of the world.
232
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,460
Frances and I moved to France last year.
233
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,220
It was a big step. But, you know,
it's a job I have to make the most of,
234
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:07,560
because I'm sacrificing a lot
to make it happen, make it work.
235
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,820
A work in progress, but this is home.
236
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,220
The Tour de France is
the biggest race on the calendar all year.
237
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,780
Winning a stage would make
all the sacrifices I've made be worth it.
238
00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:35,600
There's loads of people who lost yesterday
who are gonna want to get into the break.
239
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,800
Right? So, it's gonna be a huge battle.
240
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,820
Neilson, I think you can try and get in.
241
00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:43,800
- You feel happy with that?
- Yeah.
242
00:14:44,340 --> 00:14:45,260
JV?
243
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:48,140
American winning on top
of Alpe d'Huez, man, that's, uh,
244
00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:49,480
that's primetime, baby.
245
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,720
Primetime!
246
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,820
Are we good, guys?
247
00:14:52,860 --> 00:14:53,860
Yep.
248
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:58,760
Um, yeah, I'm pretty motivated
to get there first.
249
00:14:59,540 --> 00:15:01,760
Neilson looked good
this morning at breakfast.
250
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,300
Today, they're gonna have
to look for their early break.
251
00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:07,320
Even getting into the breakaway
is gonna be an enormous effort.
252
00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:09,320
If he gets in there,
253
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,440
and it's the right group of riders,
and he plays his cards right,
254
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,280
I think he's got a reasonable shot
at winning on top Alpe d'Huez.
255
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,480
He will go deep today.
256
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,400
That's for sure,
but I've said this before, I...
257
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,400
sometimes I worry about
when he gets a little over-motivated.
258
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,420
Today, Alpe d'Huez... 165 K.
259
00:15:33,460 --> 00:15:35,820
Arguably, the hardest stage of the Tour.
260
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,660
But maybe one of
the most beautiful finishes.
261
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,020
The same as yesterday, G.,
I think you did really well.
262
00:15:43,060 --> 00:15:47,380
Tom, let's try and win this stage. Okay?
263
00:15:47,420 --> 00:15:49,820
Just be ready for anything,
it's a bit mental.
264
00:15:50,940 --> 00:15:52,900
Today is an absolutely crucial day.
265
00:15:52,940 --> 00:15:55,540
With a strategy like this,
worst case scenario is that
266
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:57,780
Tom makes the break,
but doesn't win the stage,
267
00:15:57,820 --> 00:16:01,440
and Geraint loses time
because you've got one guy less
268
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,420
supporting a lead rider.
269
00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:05,660
But that's the gamble for us.
270
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,580
How you feeling about today?
271
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:15,300
Today is a big day.
272
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:16,920
But...
273
00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:19,220
we finish with Alpe d'Huez.
274
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,540
That's gonna be spectacular.
275
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800
I've raced up mountains before,
but not in the pros.
276
00:16:25,460 --> 00:16:29,480
Bastille Day, Alpe d'Huez...
I think it's going to be insane, yeah.
277
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,960
Every domestique,
at some points in their career,
278
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,020
will be given the chance
to prove themselves.
279
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,400
And it can be
280
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,440
a poison chalice or a golden opportunity.
281
00:16:42,260 --> 00:16:43,980
And that's why it's about
282
00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:45,320
who can switch roles
283
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,360
from being a loyal teammate,
a loyal lieutenant, a loyal domestique,
284
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,560
to being a natural-born winner.
285
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,160
Here comes Geraint Thomas,
who has won the Tour before.
286
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,080
He's currently fourth
in general classification,
287
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,600
and looks in very good shape.
288
00:17:07,340 --> 00:17:09,360
We're talking about Team INEOS.
289
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,440
It's one of
the biggest teams in pro cycling.
290
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,480
They care about one thing only, winning.
291
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:24,420
This stage leads us
over three massive climbs,
292
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:27,720
le Galibier, la Croix de Fer,
and l'Alpe d'Huez.
293
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,700
Three, two, one...
294
00:17:31,980 --> 00:17:33,600
And they're off!
295
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,620
The 12th stage
of the Tour de France has begun.
296
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,380
VOICE OF RADIO TOUR
297
00:17:42,420 --> 00:17:44,620
Today's climbs are off the charts.
298
00:17:52,220 --> 00:17:54,400
For EF, it is all or nothing.
299
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:59,840
Somebody is going to have to raise
their game and do something magical.
300
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:05,420
Neilson Powless
goes straight in with an attack.
301
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:08,540
That's a big surprise
so early in the stage.
302
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:12,020
Can he do something special today?
303
00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:15,420
Neilson is solo.
304
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:17,740
Manage your effort, Neilson.
305
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,980
Manage your effort.
306
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:24,340
I just thought,
you know, screw it.
307
00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:27,080
This is going to finally be
the stage where I can do it.
308
00:18:30,420 --> 00:18:32,660
I'm not sure
this is the smartest thing to do...
309
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,420
We wanted Neilson to be
up there at the front of the race.
310
00:18:41,340 --> 00:18:44,340
But not necessarily so early on.
311
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,620
On a stage like this,
312
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:52,740
it's so important to conserve
enough energy for that final climb.
313
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,880
I knew that if I wanted to give myself
the best opportunity of winning,
314
00:19:03,540 --> 00:19:06,260
my best chance would be
to get to the bottom of that climb
315
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:08,540
with as few climbers as possible.
316
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:13,040
Twelve seconds.
Controlled effort, Neilson.
317
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,920
Keep a cool head, Neilson.
318
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,660
In my mind,
opening up the race with a fast pace
319
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:25,320
on a flat road where climbers
may not have the best advantage,
320
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:27,720
that was the best way
to keep climbers out of the breakaway.
321
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:38,140
Behind Powless,
a small group has just
322
00:19:38,180 --> 00:19:40,640
detached from the peloton
in a counter-attack.
323
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,200
What I worry about with
Neilson is he's an incredible athlete,
324
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,400
but he's got to learn
how to be a competitor.
325
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,800
You're dealing with that last fraction
326
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,020
of what human beings are capable of,
327
00:19:52,060 --> 00:19:53,060
in every way.
328
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,820
In power, in endurance, in psychology.
329
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,280
Five riders
chase just behind you.
330
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,660
It could be an idea to jump in with them
to save some energy.
331
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:08,800
You obviously have good legs.
332
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,860
Your mind is obviously in the right place.
333
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:14,620
But don't show those guys who are with you
334
00:20:14,660 --> 00:20:16,140
that you have good legs.
335
00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:18,280
Keep it cool. Play it smart.
336
00:20:22,380 --> 00:20:25,840
Hold on, the front riders
are picking up speed. Another surge.
337
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,180
STAGE 12
338
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:37,800
The lead group has nearly reached
the summit of the day's first climb.
339
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,600
And here is the peloton,
340
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,900
led by the yellow jersey team.
341
00:20:46,940 --> 00:20:50,280
And right behind,
Geraint Thomas surrounded by his team.
342
00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:55,700
Crossing the Col du Galibier,
the first three riders...
343
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,560
with 147, 147 Powless.
344
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,740
It's not just
the climbs that are the challenge.
345
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:08,840
There are those famous descents that
push the limits of less technical riders.
346
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,460
And one minute behind,
the peloton heads to the summit.
347
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,100
As we were getting to the top,
I knew this descent was twisty.
348
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:23,940
My years of mountain bike
and off-road gives me skills
349
00:21:23,980 --> 00:21:26,300
that I can use on the road.
350
00:21:27,180 --> 00:21:29,380
I got a reputation
for dive-bombing when I was younger.
351
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:32,400
But that's how I used to win
because I wasn't the fastest or strongest.
352
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,140
And Tom Pidcock surges ahead.
353
00:21:50,180 --> 00:21:52,320
A rider has
broken away from the peloton.
354
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:55,200
It's an INEOS rider.
He's making an extremely fast descent.
355
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,240
Oh-ho!
356
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:01,660
Does INEOS have a plan
to put Tom Pidcock in the breakaway?
357
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,400
Good job, Tom.
They're not responding behind.
358
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,740
I'm good at adjusting
359
00:22:13,780 --> 00:22:16,220
and predicting where the road will go.
360
00:22:16,260 --> 00:22:18,960
But this is the first time
I've been down this one.
361
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:21,520
I want to get to the front,
362
00:22:22,020 --> 00:22:24,380
but not being stupid
to end my Tour de France
363
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:25,960
after less than two weeks.
364
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,840
Tom Pidcock accelerates in the descent.
365
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,320
He's descending like a bullet!
366
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Jesus!
367
00:22:51,260 --> 00:22:52,300
Check it out.
368
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,480
On the alpine descents,
you have to be incredibly skilful.
369
00:23:00,020 --> 00:23:02,620
The hand-eye coordination, the balance.
370
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,820
If you overcook the corner,
you're going off the edge of the mountain,
371
00:23:07,860 --> 00:23:10,220
dressed in a layer of Lycra this thick.
372
00:23:17,780 --> 00:23:21,940
Think about driving down
the motorway at 100 km/hour
373
00:23:21,980 --> 00:23:24,560
and you're sitting in your swim trunks
374
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,080
and you open up the door
and you jump out the car.
375
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,980
That's what it's like to crash.
376
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,340
You've got to be somebody
377
00:23:33,380 --> 00:23:36,260
who is absolutely willing
to risk everything.
378
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,080
Thirty years ago, no one
attacked on a descent. Too dangerous.
379
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:45,400
These days, it's a key element
for a fully-rounded rider.
380
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:51,980
Look at the differences
in their trajectories. Pidcock is fluid!
381
00:23:52,020 --> 00:23:52,860
It's incredible.
382
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:55,480
He makes Chris Froome
look like an amateur.
383
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,920
Is he on a mission or... What do you think?
384
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,880
I think he's...
I'd say he's just really fast downhill.
385
00:24:08,660 --> 00:24:10,900
Pidcock is
descending at a crazy speed
386
00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:12,680
to try and catch up to the lead group.
387
00:24:18,620 --> 00:24:20,620
Pidcock makes it safe and sound.
388
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:30,620
Powless is alone at the front.
389
00:24:31,460 --> 00:24:34,280
If a race is six hours,
that's a long time to be focused.
390
00:24:34,780 --> 00:24:38,960
And if you're shaking with excitement
in the first hour of the race,
391
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,160
then all that energy
is just lost by the last two hours.
392
00:24:43,860 --> 00:24:46,140
Even if you're at the front,
393
00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:49,840
you just have to tell yourself that,
"My race hasn't actually started yet."
394
00:24:51,140 --> 00:24:52,920
Neilson Powless still out front.
395
00:24:55,540 --> 00:24:58,040
But Tom Pidcock
is catching up at full speed.
396
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,260
Oh God! No, no, no, no, don't...
397
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:04,300
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
398
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,420
Powless is joined by Tom Pidcock.
Two riders at the front.
399
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,240
This could get interesting.
400
00:25:15,660 --> 00:25:19,260
The moment Pidcock
flies up my inside, I'm totally shocked.
401
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,520
I couldn't believe it.
It felt like he came out of nowhere.
402
00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:26,840
And I realise, "Oh my God,
he closed a minute on this descent."
403
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,620
If anyone's descending like that,
then they got a mission on their mind.
404
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,160
Made me realise, he's fit,
and he's going for a win today.
405
00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:40,740
He's a real threat.
406
00:25:48,620 --> 00:25:52,040
Neilson Powless
and Tom Pidcock are alone at the front.
407
00:25:54,140 --> 00:25:56,180
What's so
remarkable about this is
408
00:25:56,220 --> 00:25:58,440
they're both young,
they're both up-and-coming.
409
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:03,320
It's not just about the, kind of,
the yellow jersey group battling it out.
410
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:06,260
Sometimes you want those younger riders
given that opportunity.
411
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:08,760
And that's when it tests,
412
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,520
have they got the right stuff or not?
413
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:20,260
So, guys, the valley is 13 K long.
414
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:23,880
So, Tom, I know you dropped them all
in the downhill, but it might be better
415
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,440
to wait and save
some energy in the valley.
416
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,160
It's better to use the riders
around you if you can.
417
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,620
Then in the back of my head,
I was thinking that I needed a pee.
418
00:26:35,180 --> 00:26:37,520
So... I needed to go do that.
419
00:26:42,740 --> 00:26:45,120
- Ha-ha! Good lad. He's having a piss.
- Pissing?
420
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,160
- Is he?
- Yeah.
421
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,580
He's fucking legend.
422
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:56,720
STAGE 12
423
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,300
Our lead group remains intact.
424
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,700
Heading towards Alpe d'Huez now,
the final climb of the day.
425
00:27:05,740 --> 00:27:08,960
It's the Tour de France's
most famous climb.
426
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:13,800
Thousands of people
wait for the riders to arrive.
427
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:19,400
Now it's
gonna be a battle of legs.
428
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:22,120
And see who gets to the finish line first.
429
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,760
You get chills when you're at the front.
430
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:28,820
You have on your mind
that you might be able to win a stage.
431
00:27:30,620 --> 00:27:32,680
The classic mistake
for any young guy
432
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,140
riding the Tour for the first time
433
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,740
is they get excited by the crowd
and they go too deep too early.
434
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:50,340
So they've started the climb.
435
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:53,780
Oh mate, I hope Tom wins this stage.
436
00:27:56,660 --> 00:27:58,600
In the group, you're always looking to see
437
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,140
how they're feeling
and trying to save more energy than them.
438
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:05,600
Even pretend that
you're tired as well sometimes.
439
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,320
At one point I asked them straight,
“How are you feeling?”
440
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,020
Neilson said he had, uh,
he had a bad stomach.
441
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,020
I don't know whether
he was playing or what.
442
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:18,440
It's constant mind games.
443
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:24,200
Tom and I were both
just constantly looking out
444
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,420
at who was doing more, who was doing less,
445
00:28:26,460 --> 00:28:28,520
how we felt we matched up.
446
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,160
You're watching body language
and trying to decide, like,
447
00:28:32,740 --> 00:28:34,840
"Is what he told me actually true?"
448
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,680
"Is he really feeling good
or is he really feeling bad?"
449
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,540
We do
the first two kilometres pretty slowly.
450
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,680
And I want to test everyone's legs,
451
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,380
to see their real colours,
see how strong they are.
452
00:28:52,020 --> 00:28:54,720
And Tom Pidcock
makes a huge attack.
453
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,480
He breaks away.
454
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,480
And now he's driving his advantage home.
455
00:29:05,060 --> 00:29:08,820
He's left behind Powless.
He's left behind Ciccone.
456
00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:11,780
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
457
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,300
It feels like he's trying
to drop whoever couldn't hang on.
458
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,100
He was just riding it like
that was the make-it-or-break-it moment.
459
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:23,260
I knew that I still had enough power
460
00:29:23,300 --> 00:29:25,360
to get to the top
of that climb pretty fast.
461
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,080
And I just had to hope
that I could reel them back in.
462
00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:30,700
Come on, go!
463
00:29:30,740 --> 00:29:33,460
Come on, Neilson! Come on!
464
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,380
At that point,
it kind of snaps the elastic.
465
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,900
So, I just set into the rhythm of noise.
466
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960
Pidcock is
digging in at the front.
467
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,080
Tom Pidcock extends his lead.
468
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:56,660
Neilson Powless
is struggling. That's a big surprise.
469
00:29:57,740 --> 00:29:59,160
- Oh, fuck off!
- Come on.
470
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,300
Because of
the length of the climb,
471
00:30:01,340 --> 00:30:04,940
as soon as you
go over your limit and blow up,
472
00:30:04,980 --> 00:30:07,020
then there's really no time to recover.
473
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:10,660
Oh God. Nielson, no!
474
00:30:13,460 --> 00:30:16,040
Yeah, unfortunately,
I just didn't have quite as...
475
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,980
quite as much left in me.
476
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,660
The crowd has gone completely mad.
477
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:23,520
Wow! What an atmosphere in Alpe d'Huez!
478
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,480
That atmosphere is just insane,
you know, with the guys, like...
479
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,640
They do get that close that you can
smell the beer on the breath sometimes,
480
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,040
which is a bit daunting.
481
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,020
You don't want them to affect the race
and touch riders and bring people down.
482
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,760
But the passion and the...
you know, the volume,
483
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,120
it definitely spurs you on.
484
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,400
A four-minute gap between
the yellow jersey team and the breakaway.
485
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,900
Geraint Thomas is right behind Pogačar.
486
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,120
Come on boys. Come on.
487
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Around seven K to the top. Around seven K.
488
00:31:03,260 --> 00:31:05,480
It's the biggest
bike race in the world.
489
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,320
Everyone there is in their best shape.
Everyone wants to achieve their goals.
490
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,740
I just have to keep going.
491
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,940
Come on, G, you're so strong today.
Come on, Adam. Come on.
492
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,840
I totally blanked out of the break.
We knew we weren't going to catch them.
493
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,840
So I was just focused on digging in
and trying to gain time on my GC position.
494
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,620
Tom Pidcock
has a 33-second lead.
495
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,040
It is like the sea
parting in front of you.
496
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,080
And it's amazing
that they don't knock any riders off.
497
00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:20,560
Tom Pidcock is close
to securing his place in history!
498
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,800
All right, Tom! Last corner.
499
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,960
Victory! Victory goes to Tom Pidcock!
500
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,180
Yeah!
501
00:33:06,660 --> 00:33:09,420
This young Brit is just 22 years old.
502
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,560
And now he's won the Alpe d'Huez.
503
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,320
It's Alpe d'Huez, man.
504
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,160
Good job.
505
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,520
Good job.
506
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,140
Fourth place
goes to Neilson Powless.
507
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,440
Remember that he was
the first to break away in this stage.
508
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:05,320
But that wasn't his destiny today.
509
00:34:11,620 --> 00:34:13,700
I felt like
I had done everything right.
510
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,160
But as soon as I crossed the line,
I was incredibly disappointed.
511
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,340
And I thought that the plan was perfect.
512
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,840
It's not the way
I wanted the stage to turn out.
513
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,380
Fourth place is
a legit result on top of Alpe d'Huez.
514
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,820
Would I want him to win?
Of course, with all my heart.
515
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,320
But it's still a great result.
516
00:34:42,060 --> 00:34:45,080
Where we started at the beginning
of the Tour de France this year
517
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,780
was not a happy place.
518
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,720
But what we've managed to do
is beyond everyone's expectation.
519
00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:53,240
Neilson's fourth on Alpe d'Huez
520
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,540
and Magnussen's stage win
gets us a bit more security for the team.
521
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,040
And it's something I think
we can be immensely proud of.
522
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,600
Geraint Thomas
is in a perfect position.
523
00:35:11,580 --> 00:35:13,860
If he can stay at the wheel
of these two riders
524
00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:16,800
then he'll be in the top three for sure.
525
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,820
Come on. Let's get to that last two K.
Come on, G. Come on, mate.
526
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,300
The last corner before the finish line.
527
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,980
Geraint Thomas goes for it!
528
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,340
So does Tadej Pogačar
and Jonas Vingegaard.
529
00:35:37,380 --> 00:35:39,340
Look at these three riders go!
530
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,080
Geraint Thomas moves up to
third place in the general classification.
531
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:52,920
Grandé.
532
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,720
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
YELLOW JERSEY
533
00:35:58,260 --> 00:35:59,640
We go straight to the hotel?
534
00:36:01,340 --> 00:36:03,140
We go straight to the disco, maybe?
535
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,240
Fucking hell, mate!
536
00:36:07,940 --> 00:36:09,200
- Cheers, buddy.
- Good on ya.
537
00:36:12,860 --> 00:36:15,000
It was a huge gamble by INEOS,
538
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,820
allowing Tom Pidcock to go on the attack,
539
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:21,300
and I applaud that bravery,
because that's the kind of riding
540
00:36:21,340 --> 00:36:24,660
that makes cycling fascinating
and thrilling to watch.
541
00:36:30,140 --> 00:36:32,220
Tom Pidcock,
first Tour de France,
542
00:36:32,260 --> 00:36:34,100
first stage on
the Alpe d'Huez, you win it.
543
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,780
- Can you believe it?
- It's not bad, that, is it?
544
00:36:37,820 --> 00:36:39,960
Yeah, stage win, my first Tour.
545
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:43,820
Yeah, it's not bad.
546
00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:49,380
It was a beautiful decision
to cut him loose on that day.
547
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,700
And to then deliver
with the panache with which he did.
548
00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:55,680
It was perfection.
549
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,180
Thank you very much.
550
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:03,220
Champion...
551
00:37:03,700 --> 00:37:04,700
You okay?
552
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:06,600
Some day, that.
553
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,960
That is something else.
554
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:23,280
Mate, you just won
the hardest stage of the Tour de France.
555
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,680
Yeah, I've heard
a lot of facts like that, actually.
556
00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:28,320
"Hard. The Queen stage."
557
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,620
"Youngest ever winner of Alpe d'Huez."
558
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,180
Look at that bad boy. Classy.
559
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,680
What will you do tonight?
560
00:37:45,380 --> 00:37:48,380
Well, tonight, I got...
I'm gonna have to do a speech, aren't I?
561
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,400
I'm not... I'm not ready for that.
562
00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:53,900
Speech.
563
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,400
Rice and chicken.
564
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,940
Same as every other day.
565
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:07,800
That was a good day, wasn't it.
566
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:10,740
- Slipping up the GC quite nicely.
- Mm.
567
00:38:16,140 --> 00:38:17,240
Come on!
568
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,340
Yeah, for Tom to win,
569
00:38:24,380 --> 00:38:26,360
it's amazing for the team,
gave everyone a boost.
570
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,580
But, then a lot can still go wrong.
571
00:38:29,620 --> 00:38:31,960
Someone could overtake me in third.
572
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,580
You have to stay focused
on what you're doing.
573
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,460
For me, just to finish on the podium,
I need to give it everything I've got.
574
00:38:44,340 --> 00:38:47,420
I'm Jasper Philipsen
and my nickname is "Jasper Disaster."
575
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:50,640
I didn't win a stage
on the Tour de France so far.
576
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:54,760
If Jasper Philipsen keeps losing, his
future in the team will be in question.
577
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,700
There's no space for disaster.
578
00:38:57,940 --> 00:39:00,800
We've reached the ultimate test
for the world's best riders.
579
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,840
The Pyrenees.
580
00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:05,800
If you believe in it,
you have a chance of success,
581
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,160
but if you don't
believe in it, then it's over.
582
00:39:11,140 --> 00:39:12,140
Sadistic.
583
00:39:12,620 --> 00:39:15,580
Every rider dreams
about the Champs-Élysées.
584
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,420
Having a rider on the Tour de France
podium is the Holy Grail.48149
