All language subtitles for Tour De France Unchained S01e03 The Weight Of A Nation (Tour De France Unchained S01e03 The Weight Of A Nation) (ENGLISH)

When you're French and you're cycling for
France, there's intense pressure out there.

My goal for the Tour is to win a
stage, and the French expect a victory.

But we know the nation is behind
us, so naturally, that gives us wings.

Winning a stage of the Tour was a real
dream for me, and I managed to win three.

You're gonna give us all!

Come on!

Timo Pino claims his second
Tour de France stage win.

And those moments are
engraved in my mind forever.

This will be a win for
Pino and Groupama FDJ.

Come on, Pino!

Win it!

Win it!

Just thinking about it
gives me goosebumps.

So then let's go to
preview, see what we got.

The seventh stage of the
Tour de France between

Tom Blaine and
Superplanche de Bellefille.

We expect another
great show this afternoon.

It's the first stage
in the mountains.

We're a third of the way through
this year's Tour de France, and so far,

France still hasn't
had a stage win.

The next three stages
are highly anticipated.

The hope is they'll
change things, because the

French are known for
their climbing prowess.

They've created a
Bernadeau section now.

Oh, yeah?

And I don't think he's
raced Paris-Roubaix.

Oh, that is jealousy.

No.

Ah, he's jealous.

I think he's the second last.

He's jealous.

You gonna show some fight today?

I'm gonna fight big time.

Hey, win a section, and you
might get it named after you.

That's my dream.

We'll get a summit.

Dan, you have a
bend on Alpe d'Huez?

Yeah, which one?

Thirteen.

Oh, yeah.

Marc Maggio really
is like a protective dad.

He's a father to the whole
family, a family group armor FDJ.

And he protects us like...

like a hen protects her chicks.

He shields us.

He's never let us down.

Here he comes now, Mario!

Look at him go!

Here he comes!

It's my life.

When I was a kid, I was called to cycling
the way a priest is called to the church.

I started racing the
day I first started cycling.

I knew I had something in me.

That would determine my life.

A spectacular win!

And once I reached the final stage
of my career, I wanted to build a team.

And to build it from scratch.

Marc, you wanted to be a sports
manager, and today, you are.

I had no experience, and had just come out
of Peloton and all that, but I wanted this.

And that's all that counts.

Timo Pino!

You gotta get him!

Go on!

You gotta push it harder!

I want everyone on
the team to want it.

Whether they're
sitting there, in the

workshop, or on a
bike, they gotta want it.

Come on, Timo!

Come on, Timo!

These days, when I get in the track car
with a sports manager, I'm with my team.

They have to rise
to the challenge.

You have to be
hungry, have an edge.

That's what really matters.

We're not the best yet, but
if you have determination,

and ambition, you can
beat anyone out there.

Pressure is mounting for the French teams,
especially for local rider Timo Pino.

He's carried French
cycling for the last ten years.

And he's managed to get
onto the podium as well.

Timo Pino!

It's the perfect opportunity
to strike that ball in the

back of the net and get
that first stage win for France.

I'm lucky to have
Timo Pino on the team.

The French love him
because he's authentic.

There are times when he's
too spontaneous for my liking.

He has this ability to offer
something that others don't have.

In today's peloton, there
aren't many riders like him.

Pino is a romantic rider
lost in the modern world.

He has immense talent, but he
has had some difficulties in the Tour.

In 2019, there were a lot
of people who thought he'd

win, but three days before
the end, he had a problem.

And he dropped
out with an injury.

A torn thigh muscle was
causing too much pain.

It was a shock to everyone.

Then in 2020, he fell during the
first stage and was hit by another rider.

But he stayed in the Tour.

It earned him a lot of respect that year,
but it didn't really do him any good next

season because he was
seriously injured, mainly

his back, which put
him out of the 2021 Tour.

Stop putting your feet in there.

It's for your food.

Come on.

I keep donkeys, goats and sheep.

And I take pleasure in
looking after my animals.

Let's just say they give me
something no human being can give me.

I'd recommend you give
this one some strepsils.

It does take up quite a lot
of my time, but it's not like...

It's not like it's a chore.

And although it has its ups and
downs, it's still a pleasure for me.

When I fell, I couldn't do what
I really loved for a whole year.

Come on.

It was really hard, and
I almost quit and gave it

all up to focus upon
something other than cycling.

A year on, I still had
constant back pain.

It was tough.

But I was lucky to have the love of my
family, who were always there for me.

You all right?

My dad.

Nice to meet you.

Glad you do.

I really needed to be occupied.

And thanks to my other life, I was
able to keep busy from morning till night.

I didn't want to end my Tour
de France story like that, so...

I fought on.

I live in the Vosges, 12 and a half
miles from La Planche de Bellefitte.

And for me, that
place is legendary.

And that hill was my first
climb when I was a kid.

I've got fourth and second
place, but I've never won up there.

I'm in much better shape this
year, and I want to win this stage.

Winning up there would
be a dream come true.

Gents, let's go.

Seventh stage.

Another big day ahead, guys.

You handled yesterday well.

It wasn't easy.

And now... we're heading
to La Superplanche.

I think Thibaut Pinot needs to
come back to life in the Tour.

He must relive the Tour
de France with more...

calm.

The ideal race scenario.

Thibaut, you're ahead.

You stay in control.

And you let the peloton
carry you as far as you can.

It took him a while
to recover physically.

It was traumatic.

And he must now... erm...

paint over it somehow.

With a good Tour
de France in 2022.

And he is obsessed with
the idea of winning a stage.

Let's not hold back from
creating opportunities today, guys.

Ultimately, boys...

give gas.

We need you.

Groupama FDJ have
passion and a desire to win.

Come on, mate.

France will be looking to us.

From Paris to the
deepest depths of the

Corrèze... everyone
knows the Groupama logo.

Good luck.

Cycling's become a
sport internationally.

But Groupama FDJ is an
example of French excellence.

And it has to stay
that way because...

it's important that the people who watch
and support us... feel connected to us.

There are other French teams...
but... in the end... Groupama's DNA...

is not like that of my
colleagues in the other teams.

The Ager-Desert Citroën
team... for the past two decades...

we've been the French team with
the best results in the Tour de France...

and in the stage races.

And I know all the
other French teams are...

envious.

And we have a real brand.

We know how to win stages in the
Tour... and get general confidence.

And we have a
real classification.

Groupama... has a lad you're
all aware of... called Pino.

Who climbs La Planche de
Belphi... around ten times a year.

So he knows every
inch of that climb.

I want us all to
focus on the battle.

The mental element.

The whole team.

And of course the smile.

Just because the Tour isn't
going well six stages in...

doesn't mean we should
look like we're at a funeral.

We're still in the game.

No problem.

Because this is the biggest
race for everyone in the peloton...

there's always that added
pressure when you're...

riding for France.

Our last winner, Bernaino...

won it a while back.

Over 30 years ago.

So the pressure's intense.

And this is the first time we're
aiming for a top result in the Tour...

with a foreign rider.

This picture here,
guys... that's our leader.

And we're now entering a
stage that suits our skills.

We give everything at the start.

And you, Ben...

all you do is just
focus on your climb.

Joining a French team as an Australian...
that doesn't speak any French...

that was quite a big moment.

And you have to
adapt and survive.

When I signed for the team... the
main thing that the team said to me was...

we want you to be aggressive... and to
finish on the podium of the Tour de France.

It's what you always dreamed of.

Oh, superb.

Oh, good job.

Yeah.

In 2021, Ben finished fourth.

He's a fighter.

He's a winner.

It was really special
with the French team...

and that was the moment
that changed my career.

But this year has been...

definitely pretty up and down.

On day two...

Ben crashes... just a few hundred
meters... from the finishing line.

Whoa, that's a lot of
riders on the ground.

I find those images
very shocking.

But the medic said he was okay... and
then Ben said it's all going to be fine.

Ben O'Connor... just
checking everything's okay.

And then the cobbles
really slowed him down.

And you deserve a Citroën on
the right... for number 31, O'Connor.

Shit, this is so frustrating.

He was the only one of the
favorites... to get a puncture.

Ben O'Connor's group... over
four minutes, 20 seconds behind.

Did anyone else
puncture in front?

So in stage seven... we had
to deal with some issues...

right from the top.

You put it in the car?

Yeah, I put the
rest in the car, yeah.

Okay, let's go.

Have a good race, see you later.

So we started out hopeful.

We told ourselves that if Ben has a
good day... if his injury isn't too bad...

then the rest of
us will be all right.

Because we've got to
keep our dream alive...

of getting a place
in the championship.

The start has just been
given for this seventh stage.

A long stage of 176 kilometers...
with the first big mountain finish.

Thibaut Pinot on
the screen there.

He's dreaming
of a victory today.

Thibaut Pinot
grew up in this area.

And he's going to be
rammed... for any one of us.

When the Tour runs
through your local area,

understandably, it
affects your mindset.

It is July the 8th and Saint
Thibaut's day, so it's 10

years since his first stage
win in the Tour de France.

That's a lot of omens and a
lot of pressure on Thibaut Pinot.

When you're giving it everything,
that's when the pressure's on.

You fight for the stage win and
tell yourself, I know I can win here.

This is my moment.

We're approaching the foot of
La Superplanche de Bellefitte.

The riders have a seven-kilometre
climb ahead of them.

It's a first-degree climb.

OK, it's going to burn
at the start, but hold on.

Come on, Ben.

Come on, guys.

The front of the peloton is set
at a frenetic pace for this climb.

Thibaut Pinot is hanging on, but he needs
to join the rest of the Groupama team if

he wants to have any
hope of winning this stage.

Lots of manoeuvring.

This is going to
be a thrilling finish.

Thibaut Pinot tries
to position himself.

Could this be his moment?

We're playing with
the big boys here.

We're in the running
for a yellow jersey.

This climb is steep and tough.

It's a place of suffering.

I must have done it 100
times during my career.

I've sweated so much up there.

But to win races,
you have to suffer.

We're doing great.

We're doing great.

The pace on the last
climb is going to be savage.

And the riders are struggling.

And 54 has dropped back.

Jenny A number.

93 has dropped back two.

And so has Verona number 68.

Only 15 or 20 left.

Ben O'Connor, who placed fourth in last
year's Tour de France, has fallen behind.

Ben O'Connor has
fallen behind the peloton.

Come on, Ben.

Keep going.

That's it.

Keep going.

Everyone's side of the lag.

Come on.

Yeah, it's all right.

I'm not riding for GCN.

Come on.

It's all right.

It's fucking dumb.

Come on, Ben.

Keep going.

Come on.

Ben O'Connor, who was
already seven minutes behind, the

yellow jersey this morning,
is losing even more time here.

How can he try
and close the gap?

OK.

Groupama FDJ are still
at the front of the peloton.

Thibaut Pinault in right-hand
side of the screen giving it his all.

We're about to enter the
steepest part of the final climb.

Come on, Goal.

I can't see them.

I can't see them anymore.

And Thibaut Pinot has dropped.

Number 97 has dropped.

Thibaut Pinot has
dropped behind the peloton.

Thibaut Pinot is struggling.

The Frenchman
battling with his bike.

It's game over for him today.

A major disappointment
for the people of France.

He crosses the
line in 31st place.

We're here with Thibaut Pinot.

Thibaut, you weren't able to
keep up on La Planche de Belphi.

Are you disappointed with
your performance today?

Yeah, of course
I'm disappointed.

The atmosphere was
magical, as always.

They came here for me
and it's such a shame.

Anyway, I'd like to
thank them for coming.

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

I appreciate it.

Good luck for the
rest of the tour.

Thank you.

Of course.

Great.

Of course, for me, the worst
thing is letting people down.

They all know
that I gave it my all.

But at times like
this, I'm just so sad.

I just want to get
away from everyone.

I was so far back and I'm a little
embarrassed by my performance.

I think my popularity is
disproportionate to my talent.

And I'd rather I won
more and got less love.

Oh, look, the
whole family's here.

You came en masse.

Yes, wouldn't miss it.

Hey.

We were so close to the
top, but we didn't get there.

You okay?

It could be better.

Yeah, come now.

Disappointment,
yeah, because we tried.

We believed.

A really tough day for Ben O'Connor
and the As You Desire Citroën team.

Their ambition to achieve a high place
on the classification has taken a big hit.

By the end of the seventh
stage, Ben was 56th.

Over six minutes lost.

That's it.

You okay?

Pretty much.

I've got no legs.

This guy this, and then I stop.

You know what you need to do.

We know that's how
it goes in pro sport.

It's never easy, and we
wanted to see Ben perform well.

His right leg, it really
hurts after the crash.

He's got no strength
in his right leg.

Yeah, right here.

We have a good leader,
and things will work out.

I assure you, he's a beast.

He is fierce, and
we will never give up.

This is our job.

And I do this with
heart and passion.

And personally, I have my Auxerre de
Zeres jersey engraved here on my heart.

This one shows the
podium for the team

classification from the
2014 Tour de France.

This is really symbolic for me because
it once again represents specific values.

Team spirit, solidarity.

And down the middle of
my back, I have this one.

And you might say that it
symbolizes my professional

achievements like sports
manager since 2006.

The map of France represents
Tour de France with the Eiffel Tower.

And of course, my family
is represented by a...

a compass and
my son Axel's hand.

He's my little joker.

And he's just started cycling.

Go on, attack!

Okay, we'll stop at 300 meters.

I watch all the races that I
can when I'm not in school.

And I follow my dad.

And I talk to him on the phone.

Every night, I ask him, so,
Dad, how was the race today?

I think if you really want to win
the Tour, it's going to be really hard.

Podium is, I don't think so.

It's nice to have a kid who...

who's interested in what
his dad does for a living.

Right, put your helmet back on.

My dad was an engineer.

He never really
played any sports, so...

he found it hard that his son...

wanted...

to compete at a high level.

But he never told me not to.

But he was...

different to how I am.

He never came to see me race.

And the irony...

And the irony is that...

I lost my father during
a Tour de France.

I lost my parents.

And I found a
real... a real family.

And that's really
important to me, because...

As you know, Citroën
embodies certain family values.

Respect.

And so... Solidarity.

Sadly...

I never competed
as a rider in the Tour.

But I managed to get my
revenge, and... being able to do...

this job, it's... well, it really
is something... extraordinary.

This is the eighth stage of the Tour
de France... from Dole to Lausanne.

We're expecting a better performance...
from the French teams today.

Ben O'Connor on the screen.

Does the As You
Desire Citroën team...

still expect a place in
the general classification?

Thibaut Pinot.

He dropped back on the climb
up La Superplanche de Bellefille...

and finished 31st yesterday.

La Planche de
Bellefille was pretty hard.

When you're having difficulties...
a form of survival instinct kicks in...

and we think
things will get better.

Crushing the peloton!

Crushing the peloton!

A pile-up!

They're all in the ditch.

La Planche de Bellefille
was the day before.

I was a bit
shell-shocked after it.

Pinot with two, three, four,
five, six... from Groupama FDJ.

And O'Connor from the As You Desire
Citroën team... has no one waiting for him.

I think he got
tapped from behind.

Ben O'Connor is having
a really tough time.

Yeah, he really has
had a rough few days.

He looks like he's injured.

The muscle on my
glute just went bam.

And then that was it.

See you later.

It's Thibaut Pinot down.

He's in the ditch.

I think he landed on the grass.

There's so much
bad luck in the Tour...

and it took me so long to
get back into the peloton.

Some days you're unlucky
and you've got to be careful.

Anything can happen until
you cross that finish line.

Yeah, slowing down.

It's Thibaut Pinot.

Second crash of the day.

This is beyond frustrating.

This is a gruesome day.

But the race isn't over,
so you've got to be quick.

What a smack.

Thibaut Pinot in the last 20
minutes had a terrible time.

A crash going uphill...

but then got smacked
around the head.

That was terrible.

You can actually
see it coming...

but it's over in
less than a second.

You don't have time to react.

You take that hit and...

you think I'm cursed.

I really couldn't take any more... and
I just wanted to get through the day...

move on to the next stage
and put it all behind me.

When there's a fall...

the first thing that kicks in is
the instinct for self-preservation.

He gets up as
soon as possible...

and he takes a look around to
try and find his bike... to carry on.

Because no one waits for you.

The peloton is cruel because
it keeps moving forward.

It never stops.

In football, you take the slightest little
knock... and a sub comes on in your place.

In cycling, there are no subs.

No subs at all.

So, you survive.

Thibaut Pinot crossing
the finish line in 51st place.

Such bad luck.

Another tough day
for the Frenchman.

You okay?

You're not... No.

Did you get it?

What, on the nose or what?

Can I borrow you?

Cycling places human values and human
suffering... at the heart of everything.

The day you don't accept
suffering... go do something else.

We're going to need to
check with the doctors.

Can we go?

The osteo.

I want to get an x-ray.

Why?

Because... I need one.

Yeah, sure.

Get on the bus now.

I want an x-ray.

Fuck me.

I went through hell on
stage eight just to finish.

I was pretty adamant.

That was it.

That's me over.

Someone hit me from behind.

See if I'm here.

I can't lift my leg.

You can't lift it?

No.

It's here.

Yeah.

Okay.

So look there.

Can you see that there?

Yeah.

There's the muscle.

And then there's the
muscular contusion.

Difficult one.

Because it's not an
injury that you can see.

You see someone
with a smashed up face.

This big scar down his elbow.

And you say, oof, you
know, this guy's tough.

Bone is okay.

The muscle is...

torn.

For me, it's internal
at the moment.

So... I don't feel so tough.

Ah.

Hello, soldier.

Hello.

So, today's good
news is... No fracture.

Oh, really?

Ah.

Ah.

Great.

Thank God, eh?

You relieved?

Yes.

I am.

Nothing's broken.

Great.

Yeah, it could be worse.

Good.

But I've still got a problem.

Yeah, but... Listen, Ben.

Yeah.

Okay.

The goal, soon...

Is to finish the tour.

I've got it right.

The goal now... Yeah.

Is to heal.

Yeah, I totally understand.

You do?

Because, like, the
muscle is torn so badly.

It's damaged.

I don't think there's the
remotest chance it'll recover.

So, there's Sunday.

Yeah.

Monday.

Tuesday.

Mm.

Take it easy.

And Wednesday... Hmm?

You may or you
may not be better.

Step by step.

Take it slowly every day.

Yeah, yeah.

But you've got to be
in the right head space.

That's just as important.

There are two weeks to go, Ben.

You've got two weeks.

Yeah.

It's simple, but it's true.

Do you want to win a stage?

Think it in here.

I want to win a stage.

I want to win a stage.

Yeah.

Ben's probably thinking deep
down that I'm not in my right mind.

He's thinking, I would
rather pack it in and get out

of here, but he wants to
get me back on the bike.

In my personal experience, I've seen a
great many comebacks in the Tour de France.

And for that reason, I still
hope that Ben can pull through.

OK.

Take it easy.

Thank you.

Get better, OK?

Can't wait for tomorrow.

The Tour de France is
heading into high altitude.

Welcome to the
start of stage nine.

The promise of another great day, and the
fans are still hoping for a French victory.

We are going to head
over the mountains.

Today, we go to some pretty
big altitudes, two first category

climbs, one second category
climb, one fourth category climb.

It's a big day for all
the riders involved.

So according to the latest information,
Ben O'Connor has torn a muscle,

but he's going to give it his
all to try and finish the stage.

So then, goals for the day.

As you all know, we're going to
forget about getting GC with Ben.

So that naturally opens
up new possibilities.

Now, Ben's goal is to work with the
team so that together as a collective,

we can get Benoit, Auré and Bob in a good
position at the foot of the final climb.

My name is Bob Younghals, and I ride for
HG2R Citroën team, and I'm from Luxembourg.

I'm feeling good, but at
the moment, obviously,

not everything is going
to plan in the team.

It is a bit of a
shitty situation.

Yeah.

So far, we haven't had luck on our
side, and we need to turn things around.

Guys, the pain is temporary.

We're hurting right
now, but we don't give up.

From stage nine onwards,
general classification

is no longer the
absolute priority.

We've just got to
be 100% focused.

And goal number
one is a stage win.

So there is a glimmer of hope.

We tell ourselves that with the riders we
have left, we have a chance to win a stage.

Even in this position.

Everyone's ass,
legs, and head hurt.

But let's focus on
the positive, guys.

The sooner we
do that, the better.

Yeah?

The plan A with Ben didn't turn out to
work, and there was not really a plan B.

So for this stage, it's a
bit of an open game now.

Everyone has an option to join the
breakaway and then see where it goes.

Although I'm not French, I know how
important the tour and the victory and the

stage victory is for Julien and for a
French team, because it is their identity.

The team directors keep having to
change their strategy for each stage.

So there's a plan A, a plan B,
and sometimes even a plan C.

You have to keep
adapting to reach your goal.

Thibaut wants to win.

Thibaut wants to win.

He's the first to
cross that line.

He thinks that making a comeback and
winning a stage here will show everyone

his real value, the level
he's at, what he's made of.

Talent never dies.

But you've got to
be strong up here.

In the Tour de France, if you have any
issues that trouble you, or perhaps you're

injured, if you're on a downward spiral,
it's extremely hard to get out of it.

Stage nine of the
Tour de France.

Yeah!

The race is underway.

The sun is shining.

It's a beautiful day.

We're going to head from Aigle.

A little bit of a loop over
three climbs before we go back

through Aigle and then up
to Châtel for the race finish.

Ben O'Connor still in the
peloton, despite the pain.

If he makes it to the finish line, it
will be a miracle for the Australian.

Come on, Ben.

Keep going now.

This is terrible.

Ben O'Connor falls back now.

Ben O'Connor is so brave,
but how can you pedal

with a torn muscle,
especially on a climb?

We'll take stock tomorrow, Ben.

Come on, keep going, okay?

I'll finish.

I have to finish.

I have to finish for the team.

I'm meant to be one of the guys
fighting for the top five for the Tour.

I finished fourth last year.

Do you think I
want to be last man?

A day of extremes for the
As You Desire Citroën team.

Ben O'Connor behind
on a mission to survive,

and we have Bob
Jungels in the lead.

He's hoping to lift his
team's morale now.

He's on course for a stage win.

Okay, a small group
has broken away from

the peloton, and at
the front is 36 Jungels.

Come on, Ben.

The group is
starting to peel away.

Come on, Bob.

Come on.

I was feeling very good, and I was very
calm, which is always a very good sign.

I can ride with the best.

It was a very,
very strong group.

Thibaut Binot, a couple of days
late, but also in the breakaway.

They need to open the gap now.

Bob Jungels isn't necessarily one
of the best climbers, that's for sure.

It's never come all
that naturally to Bob.

He's not often part
of a breakaway group.

So I encouraged Bob.

Come on, Bob.

Go, go, go.

This is your moment.

Come on.

Go.

Good, Bob.

Pick up speed.

That's good, Bob.

Come on, lad.

Come on, lad.

Go.

Bob Jungels getting clear.

We were at the front, and from then
on, we thought things might end well.

Come on.

You're 20 seconds
ahead of the others.

20 seconds.

20 seconds ahead
of the others, Bob.

The one with the best
mental attitude wins.

Mindset is what counts.

The gap is widening significantly
in favour of Bob Jungels.

He's having one of
the best races of his life.

You're doing great, Bob.

You want a drink?

This one's caffeine free.

Two.

Two minutes, ten seconds.

Two minutes, ten.

A massive attack
by Thibaut Pinot.

Breaking away, trying to
catch up with Bob Jungels.

It's the last
challenge of the day.

And Pinot has found the legs he didn't
have at La Superplanche de Belphi.

This is it.

Thibaut's going for it.

He's out of there.

And with that incredible acceleration,
Pinot has closed the gap on Jungels.

Pinot is at 150.

Pinot is at 150.

Pinot, 150 behind you.

My way of winning is to make sure I
always reach the summit on my own.

I need to win in
these locations.

Legendary places from
my childhood dreams.

And I have real
connection to the mountains.

I feel small at the foot
and big at the summit.

So for me, those are the
only victories that really count.

We're seeing classic Thibaut Pinot for the
first time since his injury two years ago.

Just 37 seconds
between them now.

Thibaut Pinot may be able to secure a
stage win for his team, Groupama FDG.

He's fighting.

This gap just keeps melting.

Bob Jungels, two
kilometers from the finish line.

Come on Bob, come on
Bob, you can do it now.

Keep going.

Nearly there.

Now Bob!

That's it.

All of a sudden,
Julian goes ballistic.

Hey!

Now Bob!

Now Bob!

Goal!

It goes from
encouraging to screaming.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

My ear almost blows off.

Thibaut is closing in fast.

That's when I realized I
might not win this stage.

Thibaut is one of the
world's best climbers.

Pinot still believes
he can win this.

Just 200 meters
between the two men.

He's close.

Go, go, go.

Accelerate, accelerate.

Bob Jungels is counting down
the distance between them.

And the finish line.

Another 1500 meters.

Can he win the stage?

Go, go, go, go!

The flat route!

There's a small distance.

Stop it!

Stop it!

Now!

Come on!

The last half mile, Bob!

We've got this!

And Pinot still thinks he can do it
and gives everything his legs have left.

It's looking difficult.

Come on!

You can do it!

300 meters!

Go, go, go!

We've got this!

We're gonna win
this fucking stage!

Fuck.

That's good, Bob.

That's good.

That's good.

It's yours, Bob.

You're winning.

You're winning.

Come on now.

Come on now.

Come on now.

That's it, Bob.

Come on now.

It's yours.

Bob Jungels wins the stage after
a brutal 4 hours and 46 minutes.

What a performance from this Luxembourger
after being out there on his own.

Heroic.

Yes!

Fuck yeah!

Fuck!

Such a rollercoaster.

Oh my God.

Great job.

It was just phenomenal.

Phenomenal.

Never seen such speed before.

So many emotions came up thinking about
achieving the goal we all had at the start.

And I keep thinking that my mum and
dad passed away before they could see this.

I'm not gonna cry again,
but I just know that up there

somewhere that they're proud
to see their boy doing good.

And having success.

Leading a French team once again
to victory along the streets of the Tour.

And Thibaut Pinot is left behind,
overtaken 100 metres from the finish line.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

He's not even second.

Shit.

The French climber's
dreams have been shattered,

but we saw the great
Thibaut Pinot today.

He gave it everything.

It hurts.

I'm not happy.

I'm... I'm really not happy.

When I crossed the finish line, I
felt so disappointed to have lost.

I went head to
head with Jungels.

The pressure I put myself
under is sometimes hard to bear.

And when your dreams disappear
every year, it's hard to live with it.

As I'm well over 30 now, you
could say that sadly I'm over the hill.

Shame.

If it had been steeper,
you'd have done it, but...

That's racing.

You can't be sentimental about
those who achieved a lot in the past.

That's all gone.

It's the harsh law,
the reality of racing.

All right, mish-mish.

The young ones are there to
replace the older generation.

And now the team's full and complete
focus is securing general classification.

No one's a greater royalist than
the king, and our time will come.

The King of the World The King of the
World During the finish line, 30 minutes

after Bob Jungels, he's shown so
much strength of character today.

I think at the finish line,
it was a bit conflicting.

It was like, obviously it's
average for me, personally.

I'm still in pain, but,
you know, he's won.

What else do you want?

So, yeah.

I was just happy for Bob.

Julian came up to me.

You could just see how
much this means to him.

You feel that weight has
fallen off the team's shoulders.

For Bob and Azure
Desert Citroen, hip hip!

Hooray!

Hip hip!

Hooray!

Hip hip!

Hooray!

Again!

Hooray!

Again!

Hooray!

Come on, hip hip!

Hooray!

Hip hip!

I didn't make the team
proud this whole race.

After the, you know, the
crashes and the bad luck.

So the least I could
do yesterday was fight.

But the pain's too sharp, and
it's like, literally impossible to race.

So, I'm not going to start
the Tour de France tomorrow.

Pretty much is the main thing.

So, not the fairy tale story
that we all wanted, is it?

Good to go?

I'm standing in for you now.

You're a substitute then, yeah?

Too right.

Good luck.

You too.

Thank you.

I think we made the right decision
at the right time with Bob's win.

And it meant that Ben could leave
feeling a bit better about everything.

Because he knew that his friends
really stepped up to the plate.

And they did something special.

It's the queen stage of the Tour
de France today in Mont-Alpes.

The plan is to try and
win the stage with Jonas.

I don't think you can
beat Tadej Pogacar alone.

You definitely need your team.

You need to snap him.

I hope all of you are ready
for a super, super hard day.

You don't want to poke the bear.

And Tadej Pogacar, if you
poke him, he's going to react.

You have to endure what
other people can't bear.

Finger guard attacks!

Go, go, go, go!

What are they up to?
