...by the motorbike
was the real issue.

Would he have won the
yellow jersey in stage 14?

We'll never know.

I wanted to win.

I wanted to take
the yellow jersey.

It was a shame because I
felt super good on the day.

You also want to win every race.

That makes it harder for you.

Yeah, I was just like
completely destroyed.

We'll see what happens
in the last few stages.

2,610 kilometres, 63 hours cycling for
the leaders, Wengergaard and Pogacar,

ten seconds between them.

This time trial is the
key stage for Pogacar.

This stage is unique.

It's every rider for
himself, the time trial.

There's only one this year.

It'll be very hard.

And that's because of
the mountains and also

because it's week three
and they're all exhausted.

Jonas Wengergaard is
at the top of the general

classification with a ten-second
lead over Tadej Pogacar.

It's close.

It's really close.

I plan to go all-in.

Guys, we try to win stage
and take seconds in GC.

Our main goal, you
know, is yellow in Paris.

Main goal for today
is Jonas in yellow.

And...

another day that we
are going to go for it.

Yes?

Wout?

Jonas?

Jonas and Pogacar are very close
to each other and a lot can happen.

But, yeah, at the moment, it looks
like it could also be a fight for seconds.

Grisha is very good in
a time trial because he

knows every corner there
is, he knows every pothole.

Already in February, we started
thinking about the time trial.

We get the best out of Jonas
by preparing him really well, by

having a really clear plan,
so it's really about the details.

What you see here, you
don't have this emptiness.

Yeah.

To me, this looks
really good already.

The TT, that will be
absolutely a crucial day.

Pogacar is the big opponent and
he will be in top, top, top shape.

Yes.

You know, in 2020, he did a fabulous
final TT, way better than anybody else.

He is the one, the one to beat.

Everything has to be 100%, 98%
or 95%, then you're not beating him.

Today is more
explosive than I am.

One climb in the end, which
suits explosive riders a bit more.

The gradient in the final, is so high
that all the teams pose the question,

do we use road bikes
to complete the stage?

The road bike is a lot lighter than our
time trial bikes because it doesn't have

these crazy extensions
and all the aerodynamic

wizardry that goes
on in those frames.

But you should always take into
account that when you do a bike change,

you lose a certain
amount of seconds.

We have done dozens of
tests so that the time trial is fair.

On the route itself, we examined
differences, the variations

in the bike's weight, and
the effects on pedalling.

I did recon one time with time trial
bike, one time with a normal bike.

I was pretty confident in bike change
from much heavier bike to the road bike.

If I ride this perfectly, I could
go maybe 40 seconds faster.

I'm sure it's going to come
down to a few seconds.

From the start of the tour, Pogacar has
put Wengergaard under a lot of pressure

every opportunity.

On the other hand, I think that
Wengergaard is much more relaxed.

Yeah.

And I'm being serious here.

Yeah.

I was away from any interviews
when the cameras are not there.

We're able to talk about other
things, his life, his daughter.

Yeah, yeah.

He's super relaxed
and that's an indicator.

But I think the gaps
are going to be minimal.

Let's wait and see.

There's a reason the time
trial is called the race of truth.

Each rider is riding alone.

It is man and machine in
a race against the clock.

It's not a normal time trial.

It's more hilly this time.

And so it's more
suited to the climbers.

It suits us more.

I'm ready.

Let's go.

Come on.

Descent here.

It gets a bit narrow.

Then you take a roundabout around to the
right-hand side and then the climb starts.

In a time trial, the riders
set off at fixed intervals

in reverse order of the
general classification.

That means that Tadej Pogacar
will set off before Jonas Wengergaard.

Winning this stage would be a big
help in securing an overall victory.

There are 22.4 kilometres of road with
three intermediate splits and two climbs,

including the awful Côte
de Mansi at the finish.

In this time trial,
every millimetre counts.

Every turn, each climb,
each descent, they must think

through every risk to
distance their adversaries.

Oh, and he crashes.

Oh, and another
crash in this corner.

What the fuck?

The next rider to
go is Wout van Aerts.

For me, time trials
are really special.

I want to win a stage,
and I know I'm in

the race against the
clock with a pregnancy.

But I won this race last year.

And this year, I'm
confident I can do it again.

Watch out for the first bend.

There have been crashes here.

I will score,
Well, he's fallen...

Wout van Aerts has a nine-second
lead on the current leader.

Can he take his tenth stage
win in the Tour de France today?

Look at him go.

Wout van Aert does way
better than Remy Cavagna.

Fifteen seconds faster
than the Frenchman.

Wout van Aert has
set the benchmark.

To win this stage, Tadej Pogacar
has to beat 35 minutes and 27 seconds.

Wout van Aert
is in the hot seat.

On a hard time trial like that, it
really took everything out of me.

There are two riders
left at the start line.

Pogacar has to close the
gap with Wengergaard by at

least ten seconds today
to take the yellow jersey.

This is a close one.

A critical moment in
this Tour de France.

Tadej Pogacar in the
white jersey is next to go.

About the motorbike
with the television.

It must not be behind the...

Behind us.

On the left side?

No, no.

Go behind.

We need to be really peaceful.

Just at the bottom of the climb.

I was thinking if I have a
really good day, I can win.

If there are not many of the category men,

it is a good day.

Pogacar goes
through the first split.

10 minutes and 10 seconds.

Top of the leaderboard
for Tadej Pogacar.

FOOTBALL ACTIVITIES FOOTBALL
ACTIVITIES The next intermediate split.

FOOTBALL ACTIVITIES
19 minutes and 36 seconds.

He's quicker than Van Aert.

Pogacar is going fast.

When will he change bike?

Just stop and
we'll be right there.

Here it is.

But will this strategy
work for Pogacar?

We'll find out soon.

I knew I could be faster than the
road bike going up that last climb.

Wow, that was about 12 seconds.

For us, we were
pretty clear about it.

We didn't want to
change the bike.

We put in a lot of efforts to
have the best possible bike.

Try to optimize
everything just a little bit.

Could you tell me
more details about it?

Yeah, I could tell you more
details, but then I'd have to kill you.

No, but I mean, it's just...

Finger guard is off.

Show it to the world
who is the strongest, huh?

I don't know.

Right hander
avoids the white line.

He's taking it
faster than Pogacar.

Pogacar with the
fastest time so far, 26.57.

Come on, you do
this for your scar.

Go!

You try to focus on yourself
and do your best to the finish line.

Finger guard now.

He's taking a lot of
risks with this descent.

You're flying here now.

Keep right, keep
right, keep right.

He's scaring me now.

He's going very fast.

He's going so fast that
he's almost off the road.

The defending champion of the
Tour de France is absolutely on fire.

If you keep this up, you
will fuck everyone, huh?

Come on.

Pogacar is gaining on Rodriguez.

He started two
minutes ahead of him.

Come on now, you can do it.

You can catch him.

Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

Finger guard closing the gap.

You can see him, huh?

If you catch him,
you will kill him.

Come on, Jonas.

Tadej Pogacar crosses
the finish line with

a 1 minute and 13
second lead over Van Aert.

But now he'll have to wait
for Wengergaard to finish

to know if he's won the
stage and the yellow jersey.

And here comes
Jonas Wengergaard.

Sprint to the line now.

Sprint to the line.

You're a fucking legend.

Supersonic, Wengergaard.

The day in the title
holder is a powerhouse.

This is an
incredible time trial.

This is legendary, Jonas.

This is legendary.

Come on.

Last meters.

One minute 38 seconds
faster than Pogacar.

Yes!

Who would have considered he'd put 1 minute
38 into a double Tour de France winner?

His performance in this time
trial is one for the history books.

Absolutely incredible.

That was extraordinary.

I was okay.

Not too bad.

Let's see how Jonas did.

I tried to catch a breath.

Uska was there.

I asked her how much did I lose.

And she was like you
don't want to know.

You don't want to know.

Just you see the sinking face
because it's a minute and 40.

And he's like what?

Yeah, obviously that's a lot.

It was like heartbreaking
for me and for him.

Jonas Wengergaard is at the top of the
general classification with a 1 minute 48

second lead over Tadej Pogacar
who is still in second place.

None of us expected
that kind of a result.

One minute 38 on Tadej Pogacar.

One of the best in the world who
himself had smashed Wout van Aert's time.

It sent shock waves
amongst the two.

It has been so close between
them for two weeks now.

How is it possible to
get to one day when it

just explodes and the
difference is so big?

What Jonas Wengergaard
has achieved is incredible.

Halfway someone was there.

3 kilometers 11 seconds.

I mean it was just crazy.

Yeah.

Wengergaard had nearly
4 minutes on Rodriguez.

And how much did
Pogacar have over van Aert?

2 minutes 51 seconds.

Extraordinary.

That's bizarre like I said to the guys it
took two weeks 2,000 kilometers or how

many thousand meters of elevation
Wengergaard wins 10 seconds on Pogacar and

it takes one day 22 km and
he wins in a minute and a half.

It's easy to say yeah
yeah they might be doing

things wrong but I would
say it all came together.

The technique the preparation
our choices everything came

together and it's up to the
others to take an example of that.

I didn't expect it
to be that different.

I loved the bike and he was immediately
I think this was the best he did.

I hope.

He went twice as fast as
Pogacar in the first two corners.

He took them I won't say slowly of course
but really with precaution with you this

is crazy super super super yeah I was
holding back in between the climbs on the

flat part pushed 360 watts and I was like I
just push easy then I looked down 380 ok

How can you explain because two
minutes is a lot how can you do that?

I don't know Jonas was on his level and
we knew he could do it They are not the

questions you want to talk
about after such a performance.

And our main thought I think was of course
protecting Jonas and that's it but on the

other hand Jonas he knows that these
questions will be coming and he can cope

with it really really well That was really
You almost caught both Carlos Rodriguez

and Pogacar because he almost caught
Carlos Rodriguez I did the TT of my life

Absolutely You didn't put
a single foot wrong Perfect.

And I was so good in between the
climbs to keep my position as well.

And at the finish, I was
really a little bit overwhelmed.

I almost started crying.

Yeah.

This is a four.

I haven't seen a lot of better
TTs than this one from anyone.

So I think it will be hard.

No one denies how impressive
his performance was in this time trial.

But there's one thing
we all want to know.

How did he do it?

French newspaper L'Equipe
with the headline, out of this world.

The same headline that they used when
talking about Lance Armstrong in 1999.

And many think
that's a nod to that.

We have no proof, do we,
that Vengergaard is doping.

But cycling is taking a
hit because doping was

put back on the table
thanks to that performance.

You can go over the race a million times
and look at trajectories, the strategies.

The fact is that a rider
ran away with it completely.

It's odd.

People were asking, why don't
you publish your training data?

If you want to come and take a look into
our training details, you're most welcome.

I know my own values.

I know how we work.

I can look in the mirror always.

I think in other sports
it's just not talked about.

And I'm pretty certain that
happens not just in cycling.

There are cheaters
in all kinds of sport.

You know?

And there are still
some in cycling too.

I mean, it's just human nature.

So do you think, do you
think that he's doping?

I'm not gonna answer that.

Not interested.

That's too difficult.

Doping.

I can understand
all the suspicion.

I want to have faith in all
the hard work that they do.

I know Jonas personally for such a long
time, and yeah, I really trust him 100%.

I hope somewhere in the future,
people will forget about the history of

cycling and really believe
the athletes of this generation.

Time will tell, you know?

Truth always comes out.

So we'll see.

I answered.

There's no reason at
all to be speculating.

The past, that's the
only reason to speculate.

I know I don't take anything, so not
doing anything that I'm not allowed to do.

I'm clean, and even when
they test these samples

in 100 years, they will
still not find anything.

So I'm happy.

Have you seen the tweets?

What's that all about?

By the riders, by all their
followers, it's going crazy.

I'm telling you, yeah?

It's just so silly.

Anyone can doubt, anyone can ask questions,
but cycling's under the most scrutiny.

During the Tour, the yellow jersey is
tested after each stage, every night.

It is the only way.

That our sport can prove that the
performances we love so much are clean.

You've had time to
reflect on yesterday.

What's your thoughts?

Domination.

Of course, he crushed it.

I think it's a big day.

And let's see how Wengergaard's
recovered from yesterday.

Because if he hasn't recovered,
then anything could happen.

But Tadej has to make some
sort of bid and some sort of move.

Come on.

I woke up.

I had a good
breakfast, actually.

It's still a good atmosphere.

You still need to fight
because you still have hope.

Thank you, Tadej.

Today, it's the hardest
stage of the Tour.

I need to... I need
to come back.

I think Wengergaard is... I don't
know, he was super strong yesterday.

To put, like, what, a minute 38
into body is... That's impressive.

Yeah.

That's pretty next level.

Well, for Wengergaard to have
that lead over today, so unexpected.

I honestly would
never have thought it.

You don't see that kind of
thing every year, do you?

So I was like, yeah,
Poggi's right at the top, yeah?

Not now, though.

I don't think I'll bet
on Poggi anymore.

Poggi was good.

He was.

Yeah, but I know, but compared
to the other one, it's even Stevens.

If it makes you feel better, almost
everyone interviewed before you said Poggi.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Well, even with years of
experience, we can still get it wrong.

There is no truth in cycling.

While Jonas has rumours to contend
with, Tadej trails him by one minute 48.

He's got to catch up on
the famous Queen stage.

It's the most demanding
and crazy stage of the Tour.

For me, Col de la Loz is the most difficult
pass in France, along with Mont Ventoux.

It's super long, 21 kilometres,
and the maximum incline is 24%.

Guaranteed to wreck your legs.

It's so damn hard.

This stage strikes
fear into everyone.

Well, guys, meeting time.

Jonas, yesterday, you
had a good day out there?

To do the time trial performance of
my life, it's a good moment to do it.

Wout being the best of the rest?

Yeah.

Is this gap of Pogacar?

Yeah, he cannot wait.

We know from last year,
he did a lot of crazy things.

It was a very, very
hard uphill finish, which

also suits the
characteristics of Pogacar.

If he goes, you
don't let him go.

Jonas is leading by a good margin,
but we have to focus on Pogacar.

Can Tadej do it?

Can Tadej make a comeback?

As Tadej says, it's
not over till it's over.

As long as he has breath in
his body, he'll try everything.

He'll try to make
an impressive move.

To try and win the stage too.

Rescue the tour.

If there's one pass where
anything could happen, it's La Loz.

You know, when you go hard
in the climb, you see rivals.

You know, you have feeling.

We put him in pressure.

That is the point.

In the Queen stage, there's
more than one race going on.

There's the race for the GC
and a race between all the teams

who have yet to win anything
and want to save their tour.

We've got to be on
form, individually and as

a whole, if we're going
to get into breakaway.

That's vital today.

We work as a collective.

You support Felix.

And it's really important
we give Felix all our support.

The same as we gave to Ben.

You know, I came into the
race as, you know, the leader.

But that's not possible.

That story was long gone
earlier in the race, you know.

Now it's about chasing
breakaways and helping Felix.

Aim high.

You've all got
the legs for this.

There ain't no hard feelings because
the best thing for everyone is if he wins.

The whole peloton is ruined,
apart from finger guard.

But this stage is a
worry even for him.

You're going to be
on fire today, guys.

And that is certain.

I know your legs hurt.

I know your ass is hurt.

You're in pain.

But that's temporary.

If you give in to defeat,
that is not temporary.

So you take the pain, okay?

Because if you
give up, it's all gone.

I wanted them to
understand that with Felix,

we had the capacity
for success that day.

It's my first Tour de France.

It's a big question mark.

If I'm good enough.

I'm not quite sure if I can
actually handle going for GC.

I'm stressing
myself about it also.

Will the controversy
surrounding yesterday's time

trial affect Jonas Vingergaard's
performance today?

One thing's for sure.

Today, he has a
target on his back.

Jonas Vingergaard, now leader of this
Tour de France by 1 minute 48 seconds.

What does Tadej
Bagacar have left?

One all-in attack.

I have to be ready from the
start and be ready for attacks.

Body language means a lot.

Me and Jonas, we just look at
each other and it's not hard to react.

Bagacar looking good
in that white jersey today.

Nice and easy, looks
very comfortable.

Bagacar also looks
very comfortable.

They're looking relaxed.

But will they have enough power in the
legs for this year's most demanding stage

after their incredible
time trial yesterday?

This race can explode
on any climb today, so

let's make sure we
are present if it does.

I'm certain Bagacar is going
to try and do something today.

I knew that it's a big
chance to go for this victory.

That's great.

You got this.

Just keep the rhythm.

We head towards
the Col de la Loz.

This is not for the
faint-hearted, this climb.

It's going to be intense.

A strong start with Ben
O'Connor's big turn in the lead group.

The plan for the stage to Courchevel
is for me very much to be in the break.

Ben O'Connor setting things up.

For an attack of Felix
Gahl in this front group.

There are not many
stages left to win.

Everyone wanted to
be in the breakaway.

I think that's also why
everyone just went full gas.

Ben O'Connor
is giving it his all.

What a great job he's
done for Felix Gahl today.

But the yellow jersey group isn't giving
this group of riders much distance at all.

And Pogacar is sure
to attack at some point.

Pogacar is dropping.

Pogacar is dropping.

And this is the moment that
Pogacar is cracking totally.

Wow.

Wow.

And Tadej Pogacar.

Pogacar is left behind.

Tadej Pogacar is distanced.

My body, I was completely
empty on the Col de la Loz.

So yeah.

That is so hard hitting.

It's such an awful moment
for a rider who has tried to

challenge for two and a half
weeks to win the Tour de France.

And his dreams are shattered.

The Col de la Loz is terrible.

They are left to
their own devices.

Aren't they, on
this infamous slope.

I think if you're mentally
cracked, then your

body also don't want to
respond to what you want.

Really hard to go up that climb.

Pogacar has to focus
on his own race now.

He's even removed his earpiece.

It's one of the hardest
climbs I did ever on the bike.

This climb is...

No mercy.

Attack of Felix Gahl.

Big acceleration.

Go on, Felix.

Good job.

That's it.

That's it.

Come on.

I was waiting for the really steep
part to begin so I could attack.

We're seeing real teamwork from, as
you deserve, Citroën, who have done

everything today to look
after their new leader.

I wasn't aware of how much Sade had blown
up, but I was aware that he was dropped.

Felix was in a break
and I wanted to catch him.

You're 2.20 behind
the first rider.

Gahl is the first
rider on the road.

But you unleashed the beast now.

You can catch everyone.

I just tried to go as fast as
possible to go for the stage win.

Wengergaard is flying
his way up this mountain.

That's it.

How does he do it?

How does he have the energy?

Felix Gahl now is
in all sorts of trouble.

This gradient is
hurting the legs.

And then Nigrod is
coming back very quickly.

At the moment, eight
guys up the road, Jonas.

You will catch them one by one.

Behind them, there is... a yellow
jersey ripping his way up this mountain.

And he's closing like a missile.

Just go for it.

Come on.

Wengergaard catches
Valentin Matuas.

Goes past him as
though he's standing still.

Goes past Guillaume Martin as
though he's an amateur climber.

Approaching the summit.

There's a lot of fans
at the side of the road.

They need to get out of
the way to let the riders past.

What the fuck's that?

Oh, what happened now?

Oh, again, drama.

Aye, aye, aye, aye.

What's going on?

Fuck's sake.

Fold your car.

If you want to
help, I can't move.

Motorbikes blocking the road.

They're stalling on the incline.

There were so many
stalling motorbikes and cars.

They couldn't actually move
because of the steep incline.

It was mayhem.

The motorbikes were very close.

At one point, I
have to stop them.

It was kind of hard
to make a move there.

Of course, you get
frustrated because I think we

would have been able to
make a difference there.

Wengergaard is pushed
back onto the wheel.

And that terrible moment there.

There's nothing they could do.

The yellow jersey slows,
and it's good for Felix Gahl.

Jonas had to put his foot on
the ground for 20, 30 seconds.

150 to get.

150.

Jonas, it's still possible.

Wow, Wengergaard has caught
Pelo Bilbao, caught David Gaudí.

Only Gahl and Yates
ahead of you, Jonas.

Only Gahl and
Yates ahead of you.

Come on, Felix.

Keep going.

The last two
kilometers are tough.

Then it's the descent.

Come on, now.

Go, go.

Come on.

Of course, we knew Wengergaard
could make a comeback.

It wasn't over.

He's a phenomenon.

I thought, we haven't
fucking won it yet.

It's not in the bag quite yet.

18 seconds, Felix.

18 seconds.

You're going to
fucking get there.

It's not the descent.

Come on.

Don't spook him on the descent.

The

really controlled
descent, Jonas.

That's it, Felix.

That's it.

You're going to win.

Come on, now.

Come on, now, Felix.

Keep going.

You can do it.

Felix Gahl has the
finish line in sight.

Do it.

25 years of age.

After the pain, after the
suffering, victory for Felix Gahl.

Magnificently led by the as
you deserve Citroën team.

Yes!

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

It was really crazy.

Just overwhelming.

So many emotions at once.

Because I did not think
that I'm capable of doing that.

Fucking awesome.

You do the rest of the Touring
on one leg, you will still win it.

The yellow jersey of Jonas Vengergaard
has taken complete control of this Tour.

Today was the day we knew
we could crack him and we did so.

Yes!

We did it!

It's a unique set of emotions.

It's what we signed up for,
moments like these, you know.

And it's what makes
it all so extraordinary.

It's amazing.

It's a shared
experience, a team win.

And yeah, I'd also like to stress
how incredible Ben O'Connor is.

He sacrificed himself
all the way to Mirabel.

It's just so good to see
that our leader at the

start in Bilbao fell
on his sword for Felix.

Oh, so good.

Thank you, Ben.

You're a champion.

You're a champion.

Enjoy it.

Thank you.

Enjoy it.

I couldn't be more proud to
play a part in that because

it's actually a role that
I haven't done before.

And I took so much
pleasure out of that.

But kind of reversing roles.

And I really, really
loved it today.

I'm so, so, so happy
that Felix has won today.

Fogacar, worn out,
exhausted, but finishing

like a champion at
the end of his strength.

I'm sorry.

No, bro.

I'm sorry, bro.

It's OK.

No, bro.

It's OK.

And this podium?

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

You are there.

Today, how are you?

Fucked.

I'm dead.

I just couldn't go today.

Yeah, today was one of
the worst days on my bike.

Thank God has a seven-minute and 35-second
lead in the general classification.

Tadej Pogacar is second.

I think the plan came out pretty
well because Pogacar had a off day.

We didn't win the stage, but it
was a very, very good day for us.

One bad day, one bad
tour cannot define you.

And I tried to bounce
back and it's how it is.

Never give up.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

There is a lot of attention
on Jonas from the media.

So we try to divert
the attention from it.

To distract a little bit from the
riders towards something else.

I knew what would happen.

Pityful.

Deplorable.

I would not take it too
personally if I was Marc-Mario.

I won't have people question
your honor and integrity.

It was not against the French.

At all.

I get nasty if you
attack my riders.

And here's the attack.

I want to take the
win away from him.

And the inseparable duo are
flying towards the finish line.
