Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,200
It's got to be the toughest
challenge in the world.
2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,380
It can take you to
the top, to the summit.
3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,600
Or it can crush you.
4
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:10,760
Crash, crash in the peloton!
5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,860
Even speaking about
it, I can get goosebumps.
6
00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:16,260
Attack of Pogacar!
7
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:19,600
Everybody should kill
somebody to win the stage.
8
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:21,620
Fuck them or get fucked.
9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,780
Accidents happen.
10
00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:26,300
You better get used to it.
11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,440
I didn't actually
crash that much.
12
00:00:29,441 --> 00:00:31,660
Why would you say that out
loud a week before the tour?
13
00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:35,580
If they can kill you,
they're gonna kill you.
14
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,680
I'm not here to make
friends with other teams.
15
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:39,820
Fuck.
16
00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:41,460
To the mile!
17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,580
It's really gonna hurt.
18
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:44,360
It's gonna burn.
19
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:45,700
For fuck's sake, my balls hurt.
20
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,260
The face of pain.
21
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,580
Risks are part of it.
22
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,240
I love the risk, but it's not
necessarily in your control.
23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,220
We will show our respect
with a minute's silence.
24
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:05,600
It's cutthroat.
25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,200
Savage.
26
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,140
You sacrifice your
life, your family.
27
00:01:11,580 --> 00:01:13,580
Juliano and Philippe
cost a lot of money.
28
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,160
So how much do you get paid?
29
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,300
A bit too much for Patrick.
30
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:21,580
This is legendary, come on!
31
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,860
On this tour, we seem to go
from one scandal to the next.
32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,060
Jonah, Jonah, Jonah!
33
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:29,420
So, do you think
that he's dopey?
34
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,680
Fuck!
35
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,240
I feel betrayed now.
36
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:34,720
I'm not taking any media.
37
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:37,060
He's questioning
my rider's honor.
38
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:39,320
It's pathetic.
39
00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:40,840
Turn the cameras off.
40
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:43,340
Can you turn the cameras off?
41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,220
I plan to go all in.
42
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:49,780
No mercy.
43
00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:51,300
The catcher attacks.
44
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,100
Finger gold surprise.
45
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,960
The challenge is to survive.
46
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Fuck you!
47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Sponsors won't pay for a
rider who gives up like that.
48
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,400
I'm gone.
49
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:08,540
I'm dead.
50
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:10,440
We all want to
find out who we are.
51
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:13,240
And generally, you find
out if you compete here.
52
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:20,480
You gonna keep that?
53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,100
One, two, three, go Nino!
54
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:43,260
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah!
55
00:02:43,261 --> 00:02:44,261
Thunder!
56
00:02:46,050 --> 00:02:47,130
The tour is unique.
57
00:02:48,370 --> 00:02:51,250
No other race can make
you feel this... passion.
58
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:52,610
This emotion.
59
00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:53,350
Go Nino!
60
00:02:53,490 --> 00:02:54,210
Go, go, go, go, go!
61
00:02:54,510 --> 00:02:55,510
There it goes!
62
00:02:55,590 --> 00:02:56,590
Well done.
63
00:02:56,785 --> 00:02:59,770
The fact that I'm French
inevitably adds another dynamic.
64
00:03:00,290 --> 00:03:01,950
An extra pressure, you know?
65
00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:03,490
Stress and adrenaline.
66
00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:04,470
Not yet.
67
00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:06,130
Hang on.
68
00:03:06,455 --> 00:03:08,135
You want to shine out
there and be a hero.
69
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:09,910
Whoa!
70
00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:11,430
Go easy now.
71
00:03:11,490 --> 00:03:12,650
You don't want to crack them.
72
00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:16,710
Things haven't been going
my way now for a few seasons.
73
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,350
And I really want to
have a good tour this year.
74
00:03:19,351 --> 00:03:20,950
Be a key player.
75
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,580
You're under enough pressure
right now making crepes.
76
00:03:23,710 --> 00:03:24,290
Thanks for that.
77
00:03:24,350 --> 00:03:25,350
No pressure whatsoever.
78
00:03:26,370 --> 00:03:28,950
The hardest part isn't making
your dreams come true.
79
00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:30,570
It's keeping them
alive afterwards.
80
00:03:31,455 --> 00:03:32,495
What dream keeps me going?
81
00:03:33,310 --> 00:03:34,310
It's just winning.
82
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,240
How long have you fished here?
83
00:03:43,365 --> 00:03:44,540
For over ten years now.
84
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,080
It was the first thing I
bought when I turned pro.
85
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:50,740
The Tour de France
is a competition, sure.
86
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,200
It's the toughest
challenge in the world.
87
00:03:54,105 --> 00:03:55,785
I think people will be
shocked seeing this.
88
00:03:55,820 --> 00:03:56,500
Why is that?
89
00:03:56,830 --> 00:03:57,900
All these croissants.
90
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,240
After 14 years of pro
cycling, this is my last season.
91
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,020
And I really want
a great final year.
92
00:04:06,215 --> 00:04:07,420
But cycling has changed.
93
00:04:08,330 --> 00:04:09,330
Things aren't the same.
94
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,620
There are two big
favorites this year.
95
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:14,860
Vingegaard and Pogacar.
96
00:04:15,530 --> 00:04:16,850
They're in a
league of their own.
97
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:26,340
That's from Macron.
98
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:27,720
Gift.
99
00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:28,480
Is it?
100
00:04:28,481 --> 00:04:30,340
When you win the
Tour, you get this one.
101
00:04:30,740 --> 00:04:32,200
It's okay if you break it.
102
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,020
We have another one.
103
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,920
He won two Tour de Frances.
104
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,620
Pogacar won the
Tour two years in a row.
105
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,520
And we all thought
that he was unbeatable.
106
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,380
But then last year,
things changed.
107
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,540
In 2022, I gave
everything that I could.
108
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:51,960
But in the end,
Jonas was better.
109
00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:56,720
It wasn't the easiest because
it's like this realization.
110
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:58,400
Oh, I'm not the best.
111
00:04:58,401 --> 00:04:58,800
I'm not the best anymore.
112
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Let's go.
113
00:05:01,570 --> 00:05:02,780
One more time.
114
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:03,900
I hit my butt.
115
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,819
But then it brought
back the hunger that he
116
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:10,301
really wants to prove
that he's the best again.
117
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Now Jonas is the number one guy.
118
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,560
Yeah.
119
00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:17,980
And you're the one
who has to attack him.
120
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,040
It's obvious who
is the main rival.
121
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,160
It's Jonas.
122
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,380
I will do everything to try
to win it for the second time.
123
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:30,680
I think I'm better
than last year.
124
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:30,940
No?
125
00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:33,160
I just improved more and more.
126
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,640
I'm still focused.
127
00:05:34,980 --> 00:05:36,660
I still want to be the best.
128
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:38,500
Today, six hours training.
129
00:05:38,740 --> 00:05:41,000
No one is sure of his
Tour de France selection.
130
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,740
Last one is out.
131
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,400
To win the Tour de France
twice would be amazing.
132
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,100
But I think that it will be
a really, really hard fight.
133
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,420
This year, we have a
super, super strong team.
134
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,380
And I feel better coming
into the tournament.
135
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,000
This is the first part of the
season than any other year.
136
00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:04,640
A massive acceleration
by Tadej Pogacar.
137
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,940
Pogacar has been
on fire this season.
138
00:06:07,060 --> 00:06:07,800
He's an animal.
139
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:08,640
He's won everything.
140
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,480
Tadej Pogacar wins at the top
of the first mountain of Paris-Nice.
141
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:15,780
Tadej knows how strong he is.
142
00:06:16,705 --> 00:06:18,920
And when he's on fire,
no one out there is better.
143
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,720
He's an absolute killer
when it comes to a finish.
144
00:06:22,235 --> 00:06:24,860
And then, yeah, I
crashed in Liege.
145
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,280
Tadej Pogacar crashed
after 84 kilometres.
146
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:32,040
It was a really nasty crash.
147
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,660
It's over for him.
148
00:06:33,820 --> 00:06:36,160
He's had to abandon the race.
149
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:39,860
I'm lucky that I
only fractured wrist.
150
00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:44,360
Still not 100%.
151
00:06:44,361 --> 00:06:46,060
Scaphoid is still fractured.
152
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,440
But I will never give up.
153
00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:56,180
Now I start a little
bit different training.
154
00:06:57,540 --> 00:06:58,840
I try to bounce back.
155
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:02,560
You need to push yourself.
156
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Because Tour de
France is Tour de France.
157
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,740
Everybody come
here in top shape.
158
00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:14,380
I've been training all year
for the Tour de France.
159
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,500
And of course, every team that
competes here wants a stage win.
160
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:22,400
It's still the biggest
bike race in the world.
161
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,960
It's beautiful.
162
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,680
And the pinnacle of any season.
163
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,380
Pogacar and Wengergaard
have both won the Tour.
164
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,520
And they really are the
best climbers in the world.
165
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,860
But we all know that
anything can happen.
166
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,800
And any one of us
could fail on the road.
167
00:07:40,670 --> 00:07:42,590
We all suffer for one goal.
168
00:07:47,090 --> 00:07:48,090
Victory.
169
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,680
This year I feel like I'm now at that
level where I can finish on the podium.
170
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,020
The dream to be wearing
the yellow jersey from day one.
171
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:10,680
But cycling is a sport where
just so many things can go wrong.
172
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,160
Hey, can I have a word?
173
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,040
Did you see the news
about Gino Maeder?
174
00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:27,000
Did you?
175
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Huh?
176
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:28,900
Did you see the news about Gino?
177
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,500
Gino Maeder in
the Tour de Suisse?
178
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:31,360
No, I didn't see it.
179
00:08:31,361 --> 00:08:33,140
Yeah, he and Ben
were good buddies.
180
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:37,480
I'm a little worried that he'll check his
phone and see all these messages and uh...
181
00:08:37,481 --> 00:08:40,240
So I think I'm gonna stop
here and break it to him.
182
00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:45,960
All right?
183
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Yeah.
184
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:49,320
I have some news.
185
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,200
Huh?
186
00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:50,940
I have some news.
187
00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:51,600
What?
188
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:53,140
Gino.
189
00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:54,780
Did he?
190
00:08:55,420 --> 00:08:56,420
Yeah.
191
00:08:59,060 --> 00:09:00,060
All right.
192
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Yeah.
193
00:09:06,001 --> 00:09:07,001
Oh, no.
194
00:09:09,620 --> 00:09:10,640
Oh, no.
195
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:12,980
Fuck.
196
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:18,300
There you are.
197
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,040
Sorry.
198
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,120
A
199
00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:28,240
cycling race turns to tragedy.
200
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:31,160
A Swiss rider, Gino
Maida, died this morning.
201
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,320
He's 26 years old.
202
00:09:33,730 --> 00:09:36,330
He crashed yesterday during the
fifth stage of the Tour de Suisse.
203
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:38,420
He was found
unconscious in a ravine.
204
00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:39,540
At the side of the road.
205
00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:42,720
Gino was flown by a
helicopter to hospital.
206
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,580
And tragically, was unable
to recover from his injuries.
207
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,060
He was 26 years old.
208
00:10:12,140 --> 00:10:14,020
Welcome to this
year's Tour de France.
209
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,800
We've decided that for the next three
weeks, jersey number 61 will be assigned
210
00:10:21,801 --> 00:10:24,160
to Gino Maida, whose
wish was to race here.
211
00:10:24,161 --> 00:10:27,374
For him, his family,
his friends, we will
212
00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:30,341
all show our respect
with a minute's silence.
213
00:10:43,855 --> 00:10:45,600
It was pretty shocking.
214
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,590
I think it kind of awakened a
little bit of fragility in everyone.
215
00:11:02,210 --> 00:11:04,844
It's hard to accept
that a guy lost his life
216
00:11:04,845 --> 00:11:07,170
not only doing his job
but doing what he loved.
217
00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:10,690
It just goes to show that it
could happen to any of them.
218
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,970
The loss of Gino Maida has
been felt through the entire peloton.
219
00:11:18,070 --> 00:11:23,750
The fact that it was so recent has really
highlighted once again the dangers of this
220
00:11:23,751 --> 00:11:26,610
sport and just what's at risk,
what the consequences can be.
221
00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:36,870
It's the kind of moment when you
realize that you are nothing on this earth.
222
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:38,290
We're nothing.
223
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,720
Especially in this world.
224
00:11:45,210 --> 00:11:48,350
It's clear that the Tour
de Suisse and the tragic
225
00:11:48,351 --> 00:11:51,331
loss of Gino, it has
traumatized the whole peloton.
226
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:58,750
But life has to continue and in our
profession the risks continue too, sadly.
227
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,500
The location of the start of
the Tour this year is a big risk.
228
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,760
It's the Basque Country.
229
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:29,300
The first couple of stages of the Tour
de France are always quite dangerous.
230
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,280
Everybody's nervous.
231
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:33,320
Everybody's desperate
to get a stage.
232
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:37,900
What we have in the Basque
Country though, compounds all of that.
233
00:12:40,060 --> 00:12:44,760
The Basque Country is known for
its tight, narrow, grippy little roads.
234
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,200
Sharp ascents.
235
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,040
Fast descents.
236
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,200
It's going to be
incredibly dangerous.
237
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:55,200
Oh!
238
00:12:55,201 --> 00:12:56,201
Oh!
239
00:12:58,750 --> 00:13:02,590
Naturally, all the riders in the Tour de
France start training six months before
240
00:13:02,591 --> 00:13:06,070
and it could take just one bend
in the road to dash all their hopes.
241
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:15,580
Important for today.
242
00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:16,780
We are always in front.
243
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,640
That's a very important thing.
244
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,540
Especially the first days.
245
00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:23,480
Goal one, always.
246
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:24,300
The whole Tour.
247
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,400
Keep Jonas safe.
248
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,343
Because of all the
twisting and turning and
249
00:13:28,344 --> 00:13:30,600
the up and down,
there will be a big fight.
250
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,540
We have to make sure that we
are keeping Jonas out of trouble.
251
00:13:33,541 --> 00:13:35,320
But that's easier
said than done.
252
00:13:41,660 --> 00:13:45,060
We need to follow just
Wingegaard and check Wingegaard.
253
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:47,940
But in the end, it's
better to stay in front.
254
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,600
My name is Mauro Gianetti and I'm the CEO
and Team Principal of UAE Team Emirates.
255
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:00,900
What are your fears about
this year's Tour de France?
256
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,440
Crashes.
257
00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:05,040
Because crashes are awful.
258
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,481
What are your expectations
for today's Tour de France?
259
00:14:15,505 --> 00:14:19,959
Today, since your wrist is
not 100% recovered, does it
260
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,980
mean that you are not 100%
ready to win the Tour de France?
261
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,840
This we will see
in the race itself.
262
00:14:28,330 --> 00:14:29,460
I hope I'm ready.
263
00:14:31,985 --> 00:14:35,920
Do you think that this crash could
affect his performance during the Tour?
264
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,120
I think not.
265
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:40,220
And I'm actually happy
it will not affect anything.
266
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:41,240
Why?
267
00:14:41,241 --> 00:14:47,060
Because I'd rather try to win the
Tour again when he's on 100%.
268
00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:52,660
Difficult to imagine
this rivalry between the
269
00:14:52,661 --> 00:14:56,141
two big favorites being
more finely poised.
270
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,660
Anyone else winning the Tour de
France would be a big, big surprise.
271
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,745
We've won pretty
much every single major
272
00:15:07,757 --> 00:15:11,221
race in the world except
the Tour de France.
273
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,940
Welcome everybody to Bilbao.
274
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:16,528
This year, I want to produce
the biggest dark horse
275
00:15:16,529 --> 00:15:19,061
win of the Tour de France
in the last two decades.
276
00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:24,470
So, how do we have a
successful Tour de France?
277
00:15:26,250 --> 00:15:27,560
What's the broad plan?
278
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,120
2023 is going to
be a big year for us.
279
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,130
We have the only rider in
the world that could actually
280
00:15:37,131 --> 00:15:40,221
challenge the two favorites
for the Tour de France.
281
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,698
And now, all of Ecuador
can celebrate because
282
00:15:45,699 --> 00:15:49,620
the 102nd Giro d'Italia
goes to Richard Carabas.
283
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,600
Richard won a Grand Tour.
284
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,120
He's the defending
Olympic gold medalist.
285
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,280
He was the singular most important
rider that made a team transfer last year.
286
00:16:05,410 --> 00:16:09,190
Ever since I was 16 years old,
I wanted to cycle professionally.
287
00:16:09,730 --> 00:16:12,870
But in my country, there's
no real cycling tradition.
288
00:16:12,871 --> 00:16:15,610
And I left home when
I was very young.
289
00:16:16,390 --> 00:16:19,370
In the end, though, it became
clear to me what my goal was.
290
00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:24,560
To win the Tour de France.
291
00:16:26,390 --> 00:16:28,490
Richard has a grittiness
and persistence that
292
00:16:28,491 --> 00:16:31,361
those who are spoon-fed
a bit more don't have.
293
00:16:33,105 --> 00:16:39,640
That's the only way anyone will be able to
upset the Wienergaard-Pogacar dynamic.
294
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,160
For better or for worse, if we forget
about GC for a minute, and we just say,
295
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:47,160
well, who's our best
chance of winning Stage 1?
296
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,600
It's probably Richard.
297
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Yeah.
298
00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:51,020
I think so.
299
00:16:51,215 --> 00:16:54,200
We're going to ride the
race true to our real identity.
300
00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:57,180
Which is going after
wins when we can.
301
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,000
And keeping Richard's GC going.
302
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:05,590
And we're going to try to
win Stage 1 with Richard.
303
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Yeah.
304
00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:09,900
Richard is the most
expensive rider that
305
00:17:09,901 --> 00:17:13,041
we've ever had on this
team by a fair margin.
306
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:19,240
His success or failure, it does
put the entire team in the balance.
307
00:17:20,770 --> 00:17:24,120
It's a big play
and it's a big risk.
308
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:37,800
The tour is faster, harder,
bigger than every other race.
309
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,080
I'm Tom Pidcock.
310
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
I'm a rider for
Ineos Grenadiers.
311
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:54,560
Winning on Alpe d'Huez last
year, I showed what I can do.
312
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,980
This year I want to come
away with something.
313
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520
And I know I can win it.
314
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,817
Hey Tom, we all know
you for your spectacular,
315
00:18:07,829 --> 00:18:10,740
maybe sometimes
risky downhilling.
316
00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:13,979
Having the accident, the
Tour de Suisse in mind,
317
00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:17,201
would you say it might
affect your riding style?
318
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Um...
319
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,520
Well, yeah, I think so.
320
00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:27,440
I think that was, especially for everyone
at the race, it was pretty hard hitting.
321
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:33,100
And I didn't see a single rider
take any risks after that incident.
322
00:18:33,390 --> 00:18:36,500
I was one of the last people to be
riding with Gino before he crashed.
323
00:18:37,670 --> 00:18:41,640
You know, I love descending, I
love the risk, the calculated risk.
324
00:18:43,115 --> 00:18:46,260
But it really put light
on what can go wrong.
325
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,440
The first stage of the Tour de
France is a 182km loop around Bilbao.
326
00:19:04,780 --> 00:19:09,460
We're counting down to the start of
the race and the 110th Tour de France.
327
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:12,420
The challenge is to survive.
328
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,980
You cannot win the Tour on the first
stage, but definitely you can lose it.
329
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:32,040
This is the first stage.
330
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,040
There'll be a lot of
tension in the peloton.
331
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,280
There are some pretty
winding descents.
332
00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:37,780
They'll have to
be really careful.
333
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,580
The Tour de France is the most
dangerous race all year long.
334
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:49,500
But if you think it's not worth that
risk, it almost makes it more dangerous.
335
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,220
Now you're the one really pulling hard
on your brakes when nobody else is.
336
00:19:54,820 --> 00:19:56,300
You can't think about it.
337
00:19:57,900 --> 00:19:59,560
That's what we
love about Richard.
338
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,440
He takes unmitigated risks.
339
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:08,280
4.2km still to go in the
penultimate climb of the day.
340
00:20:09,020 --> 00:20:10,060
Quite a crowd.
341
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,620
For fuck's sake.
342
00:20:12,060 --> 00:20:13,240
There are masses there.
343
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,360
Wow.
344
00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:17,420
Oh, for fuck's sake.
345
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,080
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
346
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,120
We make our way
downhill towards the base.
347
00:20:24,121 --> 00:20:25,121
The final climb.
348
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,940
It's a very fast descent.
349
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:28,060
Be careful.
350
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,680
The downhill is 4km down.
351
00:20:33,140 --> 00:20:34,840
It's a more narrow road.
352
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,700
We will plan and we will race.
353
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,060
But ultimately, I sit in the team
bus, watch it on television and hope.
354
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:49,940
Carapaz moves up on the left in
his Ecuadorian champion colours.
355
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,460
I'm a rider that
likes to keep active.
356
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,780
I like attacking
because that's my style.
357
00:20:57,060 --> 00:21:00,780
We're still in the technical part of
the descent of the Cote de Vivero.
358
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,680
This descent is very fast.
359
00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:09,460
Crash of riders.
360
00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:10,400
Crash on the right.
361
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,200
Crash on the right.
362
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,340
Carapaz and Enric Mas.
363
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,080
Richard Carapaz hits the deck.
364
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:17,360
Oh, fuck.
365
00:21:17,361 --> 00:21:18,361
Oh, fuck.
366
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,160
Get a bike.
367
00:21:21,260 --> 00:21:21,820
He's there.
368
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:22,280
He's there.
369
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:22,660
He's there.
370
00:21:23,380 --> 00:21:24,600
Bike, bike, bike.
371
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,240
He didn't seem hurt, but
he's had to sit down now.
372
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,820
That's not a very good sign.
373
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,580
Carapaz in all
sorts of difficulty.
374
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:45,540
Oh, shit.
375
00:21:47,260 --> 00:21:48,980
Yeah, something's wrong, wrong.
376
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,600
He's hit his knee
pretty damn hard.
377
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,880
Juanma, we have to go.
378
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,840
What the fuck?
379
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:58,900
The first thing I did
was look myself over.
380
00:21:58,901 --> 00:22:01,460
But in these moments,
you're in a state of shock.
381
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,340
And it's like I start
to try and move and...
382
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,500
Then I try and stand up but can't manage
it properly because it hurts so much.
383
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:15,180
It was horrible.
384
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,200
And I said, shit.
385
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:21,580
And he's going to give it a go.
386
00:22:23,660 --> 00:22:27,900
Over four kilometres to the last climb
of the first stage of the Tour de France.
387
00:22:29,620 --> 00:22:30,800
Carapaz is pedalling.
388
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:33,520
He's going to try
and finish the stage.
389
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,460
It hurts so much and I
couldn't stand the pain.
390
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:39,960
Well, he's riding.
391
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,560
Not fast.
392
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,400
The important thing is to
get back, to be checked over.
393
00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:49,460
And I didn't want to let
people down or myself.
394
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,460
This is a cruel moment for this rider
who dreamt of finishing on the podium.
395
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,880
He is the right guy.
396
00:22:58,881 --> 00:23:01,620
The right rider that
makes or breaks our team.
397
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,900
Richard is on the
bike, but he's far away.
398
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,420
Is there pressure there on me?
399
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,920
I mean, absolutely.
400
00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:11,620
I've risked everything
on Richard Carapaz.
401
00:23:16,450 --> 00:23:20,990
UAE Team Emirates in front to get
Pogacar and Yates into a good position.
402
00:23:23,650 --> 00:23:28,630
Last year, Tadej Pogacar and UAE couldn't
cope against the might of Jumbo Wiesman.
403
00:23:31,970 --> 00:23:34,730
This year, UAE are
really going for it.
404
00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:38,850
Adam Yates, impressive as
soon as he gets out of the saddle.
405
00:23:39,450 --> 00:23:41,090
And look, there's a gap.
406
00:23:42,270 --> 00:23:43,930
Recruiting Adam Yates
was a masterstroke.
407
00:23:44,550 --> 00:23:48,130
He's already come fourth in the Tour and
he would be a strong leader in any team.
408
00:23:50,290 --> 00:23:52,522
For me, I just have to
survive for as long as
409
00:23:52,523 --> 00:23:55,831
possible and be there for
Tadej when he needs me.
410
00:23:56,010 --> 00:23:59,690
And UAE Team Emirates are
working together to block Zengergaard.
411
00:24:00,030 --> 00:24:00,710
Pogacar and Yates.
412
00:24:00,711 --> 00:24:04,870
He accelerates, testing himself for
the first time in this Tour de France.
413
00:24:05,230 --> 00:24:07,990
Zengergaard looking strong,
staying right on his wheel.
414
00:24:09,690 --> 00:24:12,630
Pogacar and Zengergaard
are dominating the Tour already.
415
00:24:15,810 --> 00:24:17,550
Jonas, you have
to focus on Pogacar.
416
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:25,170
We were expecting a fight between
UAE and Jumbo, so every second counts.
417
00:24:27,730 --> 00:24:29,590
Pitkoff doesn't have the legs.
418
00:24:29,591 --> 00:24:32,450
He's dropping like a
stone out of this group.
419
00:24:33,570 --> 00:24:35,590
Come on guys, keep
fighting, keep fighting.
420
00:24:37,030 --> 00:24:38,110
It's just one of them days.
421
00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:41,510
I think I already knew that I
wasn't going to be good enough.
422
00:24:42,205 --> 00:24:43,650
I was stuck on the road.
423
00:24:46,690 --> 00:24:48,630
Attack from UAE Team Emirates.
424
00:24:48,890 --> 00:24:51,901
I came off top of speed
and I thought I'd use that
425
00:24:51,902 --> 00:24:54,591
momentum to attack and see
what the reaction behind was.
426
00:24:57,150 --> 00:24:59,944
When Adam went clear,
I saw the opportunity
427
00:24:59,945 --> 00:25:02,691
for him and I said to
him in the radio, go, go.
428
00:25:03,630 --> 00:25:04,630
I had a little gap.
429
00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:06,670
I looked behind and I see
my brother's chasing me.
430
00:25:08,330 --> 00:25:10,270
My brother, he's
not a bad bike rider.
431
00:25:10,550 --> 00:25:11,870
Come on, try to catch them.
432
00:25:12,610 --> 00:25:13,930
Yates and Yates.
433
00:25:14,490 --> 00:25:16,630
A ten second lead
for the twin duo.
434
00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:19,170
Adam Yates, Simon Yates.
435
00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:20,510
Such a great story.
436
00:25:22,910 --> 00:25:27,270
The Yates brothers are still in the
breakaway with two kilometers to go.
437
00:25:27,490 --> 00:25:31,530
If one of the riders further back
want to win, they'll have to attack now.
438
00:25:31,690 --> 00:25:34,430
They mustn't let these
two riders get too big a lead.
439
00:25:34,870 --> 00:25:36,450
It's still possible
to catch them.
440
00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:37,810
It's still possible.
441
00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:38,950
Come on.
442
00:25:41,410 --> 00:25:42,730
Adam Yates in front.
443
00:25:42,970 --> 00:25:44,450
Simon Yates in his wheel.
444
00:25:45,270 --> 00:25:48,650
Just another 500 meters for
one of them to break away.
445
00:25:49,930 --> 00:25:50,410
Great.
446
00:25:50,490 --> 00:25:52,550
Brothers in arms, the two twins.
447
00:25:54,410 --> 00:25:57,730
Yates of UAE Team
Emirates accelerates away.
448
00:25:59,630 --> 00:26:01,790
It's Adam Yates of UAE.
449
00:26:02,110 --> 00:26:04,710
Yellow jersey, Adam Yates.
450
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:09,530
And Pogacar
sprints to get third.
451
00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:12,730
Third place goes
to Tadej Pogacar.
452
00:26:13,090 --> 00:26:16,150
UAE Team Emirates are
forced to be reckoned with.
453
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:19,650
This is what the
season is all about.
454
00:26:19,651 --> 00:26:23,631
You know, when you get your arms in the
air on the first stage, kind of, you know.
455
00:26:26,910 --> 00:26:28,970
You know, we played our
cards and it worked out.
456
00:26:30,910 --> 00:26:35,170
Adam Yates is the first yellow
jersey of the 110th Tour de France.
457
00:26:36,550 --> 00:26:40,270
Right from the first stage, UAE
Team Emirates wanted to make a point.
458
00:26:40,410 --> 00:26:42,646
To demonstrate unequivocally
to Jumbo Visma that
459
00:26:42,647 --> 00:26:45,191
they're a force to be
reckoned with this year.
460
00:26:45,410 --> 00:26:47,190
A word on your wrist.
461
00:26:47,191 --> 00:26:49,010
Is it perfectly fine?
462
00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:52,230
Yeah, now it's a bit
sore after all the sprinting.
463
00:26:52,970 --> 00:26:55,990
Yeah, but, you know,
I can see the relief.
464
00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:59,930
Don't cry, Adam.
465
00:27:05,460 --> 00:27:09,080
And here comes Richard
Carapaz reaching the finish line.
466
00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:11,080
But at what price?
467
00:27:20,050 --> 00:27:21,170
Crashes can happen.
468
00:27:21,330 --> 00:27:24,569
But when the crash
happens to your leader at the
469
00:27:24,570 --> 00:27:29,550
first stage of the main
goal of the year, it's hard.
470
00:27:29,790 --> 00:27:30,890
It's hard to deal with.
471
00:27:32,350 --> 00:27:32,750
Reject!
472
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:33,150
Reject!
473
00:27:33,730 --> 00:27:34,130
Reject!
474
00:27:34,490 --> 00:27:34,890
Reject!
475
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:36,830
The doctors, they
will decide what to do.
476
00:27:41,270 --> 00:27:42,490
There was a lot of worry.
477
00:27:44,220 --> 00:27:45,670
Would I carry on or was it over?
478
00:27:45,930 --> 00:27:46,930
Can you move it, Richard?
479
00:27:47,140 --> 00:27:48,140
Can you bend your knee?
480
00:27:48,170 --> 00:27:49,170
A little.
481
00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:52,510
It's getting
stiffer all the time.
482
00:27:53,710 --> 00:27:54,990
It's like, come on, relax now.
483
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:56,540
Let's examine it, Richard.
484
00:27:57,030 --> 00:27:58,030
Here.
485
00:27:59,090 --> 00:28:00,870
I'm like, trying
to stay positive.
486
00:28:00,890 --> 00:28:01,930
Hoping it's OK.
487
00:28:03,090 --> 00:28:04,470
Axial view of the patella.
488
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:05,010
Yeah.
489
00:28:05,070 --> 00:28:05,310
Yeah.
490
00:28:05,410 --> 00:28:06,410
Yeah.
491
00:28:07,450 --> 00:28:10,890
So, you have a crack in
the top of the kneecap here.
492
00:28:13,030 --> 00:28:14,030
So...
493
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:17,630
It was a bitter pill
for me to swallow.
494
00:28:18,590 --> 00:28:19,590
I'm done.
495
00:28:19,780 --> 00:28:20,820
Tour's over for this year.
496
00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:22,850
Now bend as far as you can.
497
00:28:24,590 --> 00:28:25,050
Ow.
498
00:28:25,415 --> 00:28:26,830
Because the
muscle joins on there.
499
00:28:27,310 --> 00:28:30,690
And then when you bend the leg,
the muscle pulls where the crack is.
500
00:28:30,691 --> 00:28:31,691
Right.
501
00:28:32,930 --> 00:28:34,170
So, on the flat, it was OK.
502
00:28:34,490 --> 00:28:34,970
Yeah.
503
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:36,170
But on the last climb... No way.
504
00:28:36,390 --> 00:28:37,390
...the top...
505
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,312
After everything I've
done to get here and
506
00:28:44,313 --> 00:28:48,141
just one shitty fall,
it's all gone to shit.
507
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:53,760
When Carapaz crashed,
he was positioned well.
508
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:54,940
He did nothing wrong.
509
00:28:55,260 --> 00:28:57,440
It just hasn't rolled
our direction this year.
510
00:28:59,540 --> 00:29:02,880
And that is the cruel
part of the sport.
511
00:29:04,460 --> 00:29:08,240
These athletes are risking everything,
putting their lives on the line.
512
00:29:09,260 --> 00:29:14,441
And then they crash, and from an investor's
standpoint, bad luck is not acceptable.
513
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:17,700
And that dissonance is brutal.
514
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:27,840
The winner of the first stage
will wear the yellow jersey.
515
00:29:31,010 --> 00:29:32,510
All the other riders
in the Tour have now
516
00:29:32,511 --> 00:29:35,501
lost their chance of
the best possible start.
517
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,160
How was that for you today?
518
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:41,640
Oh, shit.
519
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,700
I expected more.
520
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:46,300
There's nowhere, nowhere near.
521
00:29:46,380 --> 00:29:48,740
So, yeah, that's
what it is what it is.
522
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,620
Fucking hell.
523
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,840
You think Tom had enough
pancakes this morning?
524
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,220
Or what do you think, Diego?
525
00:29:57,580 --> 00:30:00,580
He was hoping to sort of fight
for the yellow jersey on stage one.
526
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,860
And it hasn't happened.
527
00:30:02,810 --> 00:30:03,810
He's super talented.
528
00:30:04,020 --> 00:30:04,980
But he's still learning.
529
00:30:05,020 --> 00:30:06,020
He's still developing.
530
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,280
Go on then, mate.
531
00:30:13,340 --> 00:30:13,840
How was your day?
532
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,680
Could have been
bad, couldn't it?
533
00:30:16,630 --> 00:30:20,180
It's not how I imagined
it to go, to be honest.
534
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,280
Yeah.
535
00:30:21,281 --> 00:30:22,281
But it was...
536
00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:23,900
That's all I had.
537
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Don't even cry about it.
538
00:30:27,230 --> 00:30:28,230
You can if you want.
539
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,500
Not with fucking Netflix here.
540
00:30:31,985 --> 00:30:32,985
Last year was...
541
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,520
was different.
542
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,300
I don't think...
543
00:30:35,575 --> 00:30:37,460
I didn't feel any
pressure at any point.
544
00:30:38,090 --> 00:30:40,250
But then this year, it was
kind of like, alright, okay.
545
00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:41,500
You know, there is a pressure.
546
00:30:41,501 --> 00:30:43,360
There is a pressure
to... to step up.
547
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,120
I didn't have that
much confidence.
548
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,260
You didn't have
confidence for what?
549
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,280
I don't know.
550
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,360
Just in...
551
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,960
in myself, you know?
552
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,000
So...
553
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:56,140
Well, back yourself, mate.
554
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,080
Forget... Well, yeah.
555
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:58,420
You can... You
can back yourself.
556
00:30:58,580 --> 00:31:00,780
It doesn't just give you
confidence, magically, does it?
557
00:31:01,110 --> 00:31:04,840
Well, what you need to do... When you go to
bed tonight, you remember all the good...
558
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,640
...pig cock performances.
559
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,400
Yeah, yeah, I bet.
560
00:31:08,445 --> 00:31:09,640
Put them in the
forefront of your mind.
561
00:31:09,641 --> 00:31:11,220
You're only as good
as your last race.
562
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,080
That's bullshit.
563
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,440
That's bullshit, mate.
564
00:31:28,350 --> 00:31:29,350
Thank you so much.
565
00:31:29,950 --> 00:31:30,570
Pig cock.
566
00:31:30,690 --> 00:31:31,370
Pig cock.
567
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:32,490
Pig cock.
568
00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:33,570
Thank you.
569
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,860
Last year was a really
special period for us as a team.
570
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,300
Do you think you're going
to get a bit of control now?
571
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,060
Or are you going to change?
572
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:47,300
I don't know.
573
00:31:48,700 --> 00:31:52,120
On the one hand, I think we didn't
have to put in too much pressure.
574
00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:53,380
Uh-huh.
575
00:31:55,450 --> 00:31:58,900
Winning it again is just the biggest
thing you can achieve in cycling.
576
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,773
This year, I really
don't care which stage I
577
00:32:02,774 --> 00:32:06,081
win, but I want to win
as much as possible.
578
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,520
Today, then, guys, our
goals are so, so clear.
579
00:32:11,895 --> 00:32:13,560
Aim from the start
for the breakaway.
580
00:32:13,990 --> 00:32:18,420
And then your next objective is to keep
Ben safe for the finish in Jezker Bell.
581
00:32:18,855 --> 00:32:20,000
I'm not ashamed to say it.
582
00:32:20,090 --> 00:32:21,921
It's clear that of all
the French teams out
583
00:32:21,922 --> 00:32:23,780
there, we've been at
the forefront for years.
584
00:32:23,781 --> 00:32:25,540
We have this huge ambition.
585
00:32:26,250 --> 00:32:28,490
You all did a really good
job, guys, out there yesterday.
586
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,080
As a team, you need to
do the same again today.
587
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:34,740
This year with Ben,
we want podium glory.
588
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:37,180
Some words about yesterday.
589
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,840
We started the stage to win
and to go for the yellow jersey.
590
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,520
Unfortunately,
that didn't work out.
591
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:43,860
But, uh, yeah.
592
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,040
Apparently, they also, uh, the
other guys also trained in the winter.
593
00:32:48,710 --> 00:32:52,500
So, uh, today, the
baseline is just with Jonas.
594
00:32:52,501 --> 00:32:54,240
We have to be in
front all the time.
595
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:56,020
And we have to be
in front of trouble.
596
00:32:56,370 --> 00:32:58,010
Also want to go for
the sprint with Wout.
597
00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:03,220
It's a super
exciting first week.
598
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:08,180
It's just super hard straight from
the start with the tough climbs.
599
00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:11,080
Van Aert can win
any type of stage.
600
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,400
He's so versatile.
601
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:15,060
So good as a puncher,
climber and sprinter.
602
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,169
This year, my approach
in the Tour de France
603
00:33:18,170 --> 00:33:21,420
will be slightly different
for a few reasons.
604
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,880
The pregnancy, it
was a pressure on me.
605
00:33:30,940 --> 00:33:33,860
Like, I wanted to leave my
mark as soon as possible.
606
00:33:35,620 --> 00:33:37,680
Because I could
leave the next day.
607
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,780
The terrain for stage two is
classic Wout Van Aert territory.
608
00:33:45,020 --> 00:33:49,200
He'll want to be the rider to launch
that attack and take the stage win.
609
00:33:53,060 --> 00:33:54,100
San Sebastian.
610
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Here we come.
611
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,840
Wout Van Aert, nine stage wins on
the Tour and perhaps a tenth today.
612
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:11,260
This is a very,
very fast pace now.
613
00:34:17,700 --> 00:34:21,380
I was a bit nervous because these
basket roads, they are quite dangerous.
614
00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:27,660
A lot of long, straight roads and
then you come into a bunch of hairpins.
615
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,360
It's really important to
keep the focus on the race.
616
00:34:34,420 --> 00:34:36,680
A short descent
through this section.
617
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,720
Oh wait, there's a
crash in the peloton.
618
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,340
And Ben O'Connor, I
think, has come down.
619
00:34:45,380 --> 00:34:46,600
Is he at the side of the road?
620
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,880
Yes, that's Ben O'Connor.
621
00:34:48,260 --> 00:34:49,260
Fast thing.
622
00:34:50,380 --> 00:34:52,580
Riding a bike can be
real shit sometimes.
623
00:34:53,820 --> 00:34:56,440
Ben O'Connor having
to have a bike change.
624
00:34:57,780 --> 00:34:59,620
Three guys crash
in front of you.
625
00:35:00,260 --> 00:35:01,260
That's bad luck.
626
00:35:02,940 --> 00:35:07,300
Ben O'Connor never has a good
start to the Tour de France, does he?
627
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,700
The first strategic point of this
Tour de France is Jez Cabell.
628
00:35:24,780 --> 00:35:28,520
At the summit, there's an eight second
bonus waiting for whoever takes the lead.
629
00:35:28,940 --> 00:35:31,560
Now we see the favourites
take position at the front.
630
00:35:39,940 --> 00:35:41,380
Pogacar looking comfortable.
631
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,920
Wengergaard out of the
saddle and on his wheel.
632
00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:48,220
Jonas, you still try to go
for the wheel of Pogacar.
633
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:50,360
300 metres to the summit.
634
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:51,740
Simon Yates in the lead.
635
00:35:52,260 --> 00:35:54,060
Wengergaard and
Pogacar join him.
636
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,260
And Wengergaard
jostles for position.
637
00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:03,700
To attack, you need to
understand your opponent.
638
00:36:04,820 --> 00:36:06,680
You need to know
when he's suffering.
639
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,440
And Jonas Wengergaard
launches his sprint.
640
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,000
Wengergaard and Pogacar battling for the
bonus seconds at the top of the Jez Cabell.
641
00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:22,900
And it goes to Pogacar.
642
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,320
Good.
643
00:36:28,540 --> 00:36:31,380
Pogacar, five points
and eight bonus seconds.
644
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,540
And Pogacar isn't holding
back in this descent.
645
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:40,120
I think for sure you could see at this
point that he was in the shape he wanted.
646
00:36:41,380 --> 00:36:42,840
He was very strong.
647
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:44,720
Jonas, you keep
the wheel of Pogacar.
648
00:36:46,460 --> 00:36:49,007
Tadej Pogacar asks
Wengergaard to give him a turn,
649
00:36:49,008 --> 00:36:51,601
but a little shake of the
head from Wengergaard.
650
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,325
In the last stretch of a
stage in the Tour, you all
651
00:36:55,326 --> 00:36:57,721
need to cooperate and
sort of help each other out.
652
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,420
If you're on the wheel, it's much
more easier than to be in the front.
653
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,477
Last year's two top riders
battling it out to lead the
654
00:37:06,478 --> 00:37:10,100
Tour, even though the second
stage isn't even over yet.
655
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,320
Fight for that wheel, eh?
656
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:12,720
That's your wheel.
657
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,240
Pogacar or Wengergaard could win,
but right now they need to work together.
658
00:37:17,540 --> 00:37:19,940
And Wengergaard
refuses to do that.
659
00:37:20,060 --> 00:37:21,060
He won't collaborate.
660
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,200
Jonas didn't pull over Jez Cabell because
he knew if we come together to the finish
661
00:37:26,201 --> 00:37:29,280
line that I will take four more
bonus seconds ahead of him.
662
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,960
Suddenly there's a big group
of riders about to catch them.
663
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,480
I don't want to pull with him
because I have Wout behind me.
664
00:37:39,481 --> 00:37:41,420
And he wants to
go for the stage win.
665
00:37:43,580 --> 00:37:46,640
And Wout van Aert is here,
surrounded by his teammates.
666
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,480
For the sprint, you know it.
667
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:50,500
Wout, you go for victory.
668
00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:53,180
Jonas, you always stick
to the wheel of Pogacar.
669
00:37:53,380 --> 00:37:59,520
I was there, like, after all this fighting,
so I wanted to just focus on the sprint.
670
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,660
And I was convinced that I would
have the chance to sprint for victory.
671
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,460
Stage two of the Tour, no one
knows exactly where they are.
672
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,000
It's going to be
a little bit cagey.
673
00:38:12,060 --> 00:38:14,880
Is someone prepared to risk it?
674
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,520
I decided that I was
going to have a go.
675
00:38:20,740 --> 00:38:22,080
And here we go.
676
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,380
The attack happens.
677
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,960
It only needs a split second and you
have a gap and then that's it, you're away.
678
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,219
The rising star of the
Tour de France, Pidcock
679
00:38:31,220 --> 00:38:34,701
has now thrown
everything and gone for it.
680
00:38:35,060 --> 00:38:37,260
Don Pidcock is always a threat.
681
00:38:37,261 --> 00:38:39,880
I knew I needed to be
straight on his wheel.
682
00:38:40,780 --> 00:38:45,980
But Pidcock is prepared to ignite the
touch paper and try and win the stage.
683
00:38:54,250 --> 00:38:56,790
I don't think I picked
the moment quite right.
684
00:38:57,070 --> 00:38:59,550
You know, I race
with Wout a lot.
685
00:38:59,670 --> 00:39:03,010
I'm someone who doesn't
really slip under his radar.
686
00:39:04,310 --> 00:39:08,330
When I neutralized him, I thought
the biggest danger was Pogacar.
687
00:39:09,010 --> 00:39:12,930
For me, that was
what I was focusing on.
688
00:39:13,150 --> 00:39:14,150
Pogacar win today.
689
00:39:14,570 --> 00:39:15,790
Really good, almost there.
690
00:39:16,710 --> 00:39:17,750
What a finish.
691
00:39:18,070 --> 00:39:19,810
It's tactical and
there's tension.
692
00:39:24,540 --> 00:39:26,740
The right-hand side of the
road, the rider from Cofidis.
693
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:28,840
Shit, what just happened?
694
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,640
By the time he passed me, he has
already doubled his speed, let's say.
695
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,390
Victor Le Fay of Cofidis
pulls it out of the bag
696
00:39:35,391 --> 00:39:37,540
in the last kilometer
under the Flamme Rouge.
697
00:39:37,980 --> 00:39:39,640
He took a nice
advantage straight away.
698
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,720
Victor Le Fay, 40 meters lead on the
peloton, led by the Jumbo Visma riders.
699
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,320
He played that well.
700
00:39:49,420 --> 00:39:50,240
He's going for it.
701
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,860
Less than 300 meters to go.
702
00:39:53,540 --> 00:39:56,220
You'll have to keep up with Van
Aert's sprint if he wants to win.
703
00:39:56,380 --> 00:39:58,720
Then I was just hoping
that he would fade.
704
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,760
In the lead, Victor Le Fay
with less than 200 meters to go.
705
00:40:02,020 --> 00:40:03,400
And we could just take him.
706
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,040
Victor Le Fay.
707
00:40:06,820 --> 00:40:08,200
All the way to the end.
708
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:09,240
Victor Le Fay.
709
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:10,940
Victor Le Fay in the lead.
710
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:13,860
A victory for France
in San Sebastian.
711
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:15,700
Incredible.
712
00:40:22,700 --> 00:40:23,740
What a finish.
713
00:40:24,780 --> 00:40:27,360
Cofidis has been waiting
for this win since 2008.
714
00:40:27,380 --> 00:40:28,660
Look at the emotion on his face.
715
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:30,480
Fuck.
716
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:31,320
Fuck.
717
00:40:31,580 --> 00:40:32,280
Le Fay wins.
718
00:40:32,540 --> 00:40:33,980
Le Fay wins with
the late attack.
719
00:40:34,780 --> 00:40:35,780
Fucking hell.
720
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,380
What you just did is massive to win a
stage of the Tour de France like that.
721
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:45,600
Do you realize that?
722
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,000
I'm not really taking it in.
723
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,240
When I made my attack, I wasn't
even thinking about winning, you know?
724
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,380
I was just pushing
myself up to the maximum.
725
00:40:54,620 --> 00:40:55,620
It's crazy.
726
00:40:57,700 --> 00:40:59,860
What happened with
Cofidis was incredible.
727
00:41:00,310 --> 00:41:02,592
And for Le Fay, in
that last kilometer, I
728
00:41:02,593 --> 00:41:05,100
think everyone was
worried they'd catch him up.
729
00:41:05,740 --> 00:41:09,280
15 years of frustration
gone in 10 seconds.
730
00:41:09,980 --> 00:41:11,140
How are we, Wout?
731
00:41:11,220 --> 00:41:12,420
We are done, Wout.
732
00:41:12,421 --> 00:41:13,060
We are done, Wout.
733
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,300
We are done, Wout.
734
00:41:14,301 --> 00:41:14,580
Come on.
735
00:41:15,060 --> 00:41:16,060
Go ahead.
736
00:41:19,390 --> 00:41:20,390
Is that a mile?
737
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:34,600
I could see Wout
was pretty angry.
738
00:41:35,020 --> 00:41:36,740
I mean, I would be also.
739
00:41:37,540 --> 00:41:38,460
We were happy.
740
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,600
We had yellow
jersey, white jersey.
741
00:41:41,405 --> 00:41:43,240
But we still knew what's coming.
742
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,480
Jumbo will never give up.
743
00:41:46,580 --> 00:41:49,240
Now psychological
warfare is raging.
744
00:41:50,140 --> 00:41:54,140
Whoever is ahead, whoever
wins the most stages, he's the one.
745
00:41:54,380 --> 00:41:55,540
He's in your head.
746
00:41:55,700 --> 00:41:57,860
He's there every
night, driving you crazy.
747
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:05,820
Jumbo is so...
748
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,800
I should have followed Le Fay.
749
00:42:14,801 --> 00:42:15,801
Come on.
750
00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:16,860
Come on.
751
00:42:17,020 --> 00:42:17,420
Come on.
752
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:17,900
I'm sorry.
753
00:42:18,140 --> 00:42:19,140
Come on.
754
00:42:19,610 --> 00:42:21,720
I was angry because I
missed it, but... Yeah, yeah.
755
00:42:21,820 --> 00:42:22,120
I was angry.
756
00:42:22,121 --> 00:42:24,461
I'm not angry with how
we ride it, but... Fuck!
757
00:42:24,740 --> 00:42:25,740
Two days in a row.
758
00:42:29,050 --> 00:42:32,220
I have the feeling that I could
have done something to help him.
759
00:42:33,150 --> 00:42:35,300
And, yeah, that's
something that I would have...
760
00:42:35,740 --> 00:42:38,120
If I would do it again,
I would change it.
761
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:41,920
Yeah.
762
00:42:42,580 --> 00:42:43,380
It will come.
763
00:42:43,381 --> 00:42:44,381
It will come, man.
764
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,180
It's a tricky situation for us.
765
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,320
UAE is in the jersey, and
we have to cope with it.
766
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,900
Not everything plays
out like you planned it.
767
00:42:58,930 --> 00:43:00,890
Yeah, that's something
you just have to deal with.
768
00:43:05,140 --> 00:43:06,140
Fuck!
769
00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:07,300
It's nothing.
770
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:08,600
No, it's fucking everything.
771
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:09,520
Yeah, I know, I know.
772
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:09,760
I'm fucked.
773
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:10,160
Yeah.
774
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,300
You go from being one of the best in the
peloton to being one of the fucking worst.
775
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:16,260
It's fucking joke.
776
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:21,920
Ben... he lost time out
there, and that's not good.
777
00:43:22,380 --> 00:43:23,380
It's frustrating.
778
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,180
I'm not taking any medium.
779
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:26,640
No, I'm not doing anything.
780
00:43:27,220 --> 00:43:28,520
No, I don't care.
781
00:43:28,580 --> 00:43:29,580
I don't care.
782
00:43:31,140 --> 00:43:32,800
I have nothing there.
783
00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:33,940
I don't know what's wrong.
784
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,040
And...
785
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:41,460
well, you can't help but think that...
that something bad is happening here.
786
00:43:41,461 --> 00:43:41,520
Yeah.
787
00:43:42,260 --> 00:43:43,900
There's 25 guys in front.
788
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:46,340
I don't know what's wrong.
789
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,900
This Tour de France,
we have a new plan.
790
00:43:53,340 --> 00:43:54,660
Fuck them or get fucked.
791
00:44:00,620 --> 00:44:03,560
I just want to show that I
can race at the front again.
792
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,320
Daniels, you guys
want to beat them?
793
00:44:07,180 --> 00:44:09,140
Tom might have
to sacrifice himself.
794
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:10,760
I'm here to win.
795
00:44:10,761 --> 00:44:11,881
I'm not here to come second.
796
00:44:12,070 --> 00:44:13,190
Can you turn the cameras on?
797
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,480
Best ending.
798
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:16,880
It's my last Tour de France.
799
00:44:17,140 --> 00:44:18,180
I have to try and win.
800
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,780
Mark Cavendish going it alone.
801
00:44:21,820 --> 00:44:23,280
Roger is suffering, Jonas.
802
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:24,400
Roger is suffering.
803
00:44:24,580 --> 00:44:25,840
Attack of Jonas Wengergaard.
804
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:28,700
Fuck, what was that?
805
00:44:30,740 --> 00:44:31,740
I'm clean.
806
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,340
How is that possible?
807
00:44:34,980 --> 00:44:36,640
This is my last Tour de France.
808
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,540
I don't want to let people down.
809
00:44:40,980 --> 00:44:41,980
Fuck!
810
00:44:42,060 --> 00:44:45,080
When your legs feel the
pain, think of those assholes.
811
00:44:45,660 --> 00:44:49,320
If it touches your nerve, then
maybe that's something to think about.
812
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:51,700
Don't attack my riders.
813
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,360
I get nasty if you
attack my riders.
