All language subtitles for Tour De France Unchained S02e07 Kamikaze Mission (Tour De France Unchained S02e07 Kamikaze Mission) (ENGLISH)

It's absolute carnage.

I felt immediately that
the wounds were big.

Because you can
feel that it's burning.

Okay, up.

It's like stinging.

They put a knife,
you cut yourself.

I already knew that...

it was going to become
a hard few days.

Fabio Jakobsen.

Yesterday's crash
has left a lot of scars.

Fabio, a bit better, no?

A bit better, but not good yet.

Sometimes it's hard to stay
positive because of the level of pain.

Your mind and your body says, whoa, this
is not what we want to be doing anymore.

He's our leader for
the bunch sprints.

And the main guy who tries to get
us the stage wins that we're aiming for.

A fourth win for
Jasper Philipsen.

Today, the team bring me in a perfect
position, but now I don't have the legs,

so it's, yeah, it makes me sad.

A high-speed crash doesn't
just affect you physically.

When you go through that
turmoil, it's psychological.

I mean, this team is used to winning
Tour de France stages every year.

Do you feel the pressure
is starting to build up a bit?

We were afraid.

This could be the year that
we didn't want a stage win.

But I think we're
going to get to the Tour.

Friends, we're in for a treat today
on the roads of the wine region.

Woke up this morning,
was the first at breakfast.

And then Tom still said to me, if
you want to quit today, I understand.

And then I think we looked
at each other and I said,

Tom, I don't think it's
wise for me to start today.

We feel deeply sorry for you.

I give my best and the
body don't want to push hard.

My recovery is not well.

The legs and the body only
get worse and worse and worse.

So, it's just shit.

The news of the day is that
Fabio Jakobsen has abandoned

the Tour de France after
his injuries on Sunday.

Stage four.

OK, guys.

Unfortunately, Fabio
goes home today.

Cycling is a sport that you
have to do with a healthy body.

And if you feel it
doesn't go, it doesn't go.

And then you take care of yourself
and you come back stronger than before.

This team was really
made in function of Fabio.

We are fighters,
we are the Wolfpack.

Going home without
victory never happened to us.

But if you're a sprinter and you're on the
ground, and you come with one sprinter,

all your tactics
are in the ground.

So, now you have
to go to plan B.

Action.

Julien Alaphilippe.

I cycle professionally with
Team Soudal Quick-Step.

The thing that
still drives me is...

is winning.

Final sprint.

Alaphilippe has
150 metres to go.

He will climb.

He will claim his
place today in Pau.

Magnificent.

Julien Alaphilippe is the
boss of the Tour de France.

In one stage, he had the yellow in
the Tour de France, and he's French.

He's the chouchou
of the French people.

He broke a record yesterday.

And it's the first time
for 35 years since we had

a French yellow jersey
in a time trial at Pau.

When you attain your objectives,
you have to set yourself new ones.

And there's still so
much to achieve.

I've made a reality one of
my biggest dreams in cycling.

The rainbow... Twice now.

...Jersey.

And if you weren't convinced
the first time, I did it again.

Boom, boom.

The hardest part isn't
achieving your dreams.

It's keeping your
dreams at that level.

To keep the dreams alive.

All right, that's
enough for now.

That's terrific.

Last year was the most
challenging season of my career.

With a string of crashes.

It was a period of reflection.

Not just because I decided
to not compete in the Tour.

But also, there was
the crash at Liège.

Massive crash in the peloton.

Multiple riders on the ground.

Julien Alaphilippe.

Julien Alaphilippe
is in the ditch.

As soon as I went back to
training, physically, I felt different.

And mentally, too.

I found that really hard.

I saw flashes of the crash.

Uh, the noise.

It all really affected me.

And I don't want to
go through it all again.

I don't want to go
through it all again.

So it's taken me some
time to...move on.

Um, we got him back.

After a really bad year.

Finally.

Change that jersey, young man.

What about you?

Are you satisfied?

I'm never satisfied.

Really?

Why not?

Because that's my...
Because he's demanding.

That's my nature.

Right.

It's a showdown between
French cyclist Julien Alaphilippe

and the director of
Quick-Step, Patrick Lefebvre.

He crashed into the barrier.

Patrick Lefebvre.

Julien Alaphilippe,
nothing's working.

What's going on?

He feels that his rider is well-paid,
but doesn't always get results.

So how much do you get paid?

A little too much for Patrick.

Will you keep that?

Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha.

A €2.3 million salary for
Julien Alaphilippe per season.

You mean everyone
has to justify their salary.

It's really simple.

He's no different.

He's the leader.

So we expect results.

There are high expectations of me, and
people want a return on their investment.

Patrick, he speaks to
the media, and that's all

right, but I just got to
cycle better and win races.

I think I'm going to be better.

Does Julien need to justify
the chunk of money that he's...

I'm a little bit tired of
the kind of shit questions.

I said it once.

I said it to the people
who have to know it.

Him, his agent, his wife.

And if the press
asks me, I'm not a liar.

With every paycheck
comes a certain expectation.

Cycling is not a fairy tale.

To get criticism from the
boss, I think it's never easy.

It's never nice.

But it has to put you short.

I think for Julien, be sharp, be there
in the front, and just fight to get in.

We tried to win one
for Fabio today, OK?

168 riders at the start
line and one non-starter.

Fabio Jakobsen, the
Soudal Quick-Step Sprinter.

Stage 12 kicks off, a state
that isn't... for the fainthearted.

We had to regroup, and quickly.

As soon as we lost Fabio, we had to focus
on other goals, apart from on the sprints.

We all really needed
to get a victory.

This is the front of the race.

Another 100 kilometres to go.

Come on, boys.

Attack of Julien Alaphilippe.

Can he catch up
with the front group?

For sure, when the climb comes,
behind you, they will all explode.

He's not the best climber.

He's not the best sprinter.

But if he has his D-Day, then,
tactical way, he's very smart.

Julien Alaphilippe on his own, working
hard to get back to the front of the race.

This could be a great opportunity
for him to get a stage win.

He's really pushing himself.

You have to ride till
the finish line, come on.

He's caught up
to the front group.

Can he now win the stage?

Julien Alaphilippe
is in difficulty.

Come on, he was all the character,
you have to get over it, come on.

It's not happening today.

He doesn't have the legs, he's
going to need to take a breather.

I grabbed the opportunities that came
my way by trying to break away a lot.

But I felt that I wasn't where
I wanted to be, physically.

Come on, Julien, stay
in the rear, come on.

And then on top of all that, if you're in
a situation where you've got your team

riding for you, to support you,
to help you achieve your goal,

and it doesn't work
out in the end, you feel...

You feel remorse, and
self-pity, and disappointment.

Julien Alaphilippe
out of the saddle.

You can see the
tension in his legs.

He has to let the
front group go now.

Fuck.

Shame.

Shit.

Julien seems mentally strong.

The problem is that he's just
not physically up to par this year.

He lost a little bit of his
qualities he had a few years ago.

And he knows
he's a well-paid boy.

So he also feels this
responsibility and not

really performing as
he wants and we want.

Fuck's sake.

Well done, Julien.

Well done, Julien.

Well done.

I'm gutted.

Wiped out.

You okay, Julien?

Well done, Julien.

I lost my glasses.

It sucks.

It was a really tough
fight to get to the front.

I didn't have enough energy to
keep on the weird of them other guys.

Yeah.

It was just all too difficult.

You all right?

Busting a guff and nothing.

Oh.

That's right.

So you're pleased
with Julien, right?

With everything he's done.

Well, he did his best, but it...

Well, I just hope that it wasn't
all a waste of effort, you know?

Oh, it'll be the first time since
1994, 92, that I don't get a stage win.

Do you know how
many years that is?

Now it's time for
more flat racing.

Welcome to stage 18.

We've lost another
sprinter today.

Nathan Maid, you're
going strong today.

Following on from Fabio Jakobsen,
now Wout van Aert is out of the Tour de

France to join his wife,
who's about to give birth.

With just four stages left, time's
pressing for Soudal Quick-Step.

The question right now is knowing
how to beat the fastest rider in the Tour,

Jasper Philipsen.

A day of opportunities again.

It's our duty today
to bring it to a sprint.

We are a team of winners.

We want our piece of the cake.

We need the guys like us.

I like Jasper Philipsen because
he's fast at the finish line.

On a normal day, he always wins.

Stage 18 is child's play
for Jasper Philipsen,

who is convinced
he's going to win it.

You always want more.

Even if you want five,
you want to win six.

You want six, you
want to win seven.

Oh, that feels so good.

I think if he wants,
he can win today.

You get me excited.

It's your day.

Julian, just one question.

What's the answer to
beating Philipsen in a sprint?

I don't know.

Ride a motorbike, maybe?

Today, the teams without
sprinters have a chance.

It's important to be in the
breakaway today, guys.

You got that?

The more of us that get in the
breakaway, the better for us at the finish.

So, the goal really is
to get people up front.

And, guys, we don't choose
who gets to go in the breakaway.

It's the head and
legs that decide.

A breakaway, quite simply, is a group of
riders who break away from the main body

of the race, and they try to
stay away to the finish line.

A breakaway, more often than
not, is doomed on sprint stages.

But if you're not in it,
you're never going to win it.

We have... still...

possibility to gain some place,
especially if there is going to be a break.

More often than not,
there are sprint stages in

the third week that end
up being breakaway stages.

We control the whole day, no?

Yes, the day when
we... I want to pull first!

It will be incredibly hard to just get
into the breakaway, and then even harder

to actually go all the
way to the finish line.

All right, gentlemen.

Stage 18.

So we're all going to
go for the breakaway.

We tried to escape today.

It's an opportunity.

We go for it.

If somebody goes, you help them.

You need each other to
win a stage in the Tour.

We suffered already.

I think now it's our chance just to
go, to be in, and to try to win a stage.

We were underperforming.

We have one goal,
and that's stage wins.

Obviously, I wanted
to get that big win.

My name is Kasper Askreen.

I ride for Soudal Quick-Step.

I should probably say I'm a
cyclist for Soudal Quick-Step.

All right.

Kasper Askreen.

He's a strange guy.

He's a Danish.

They are already special.

He has his own mental
way to prepare the race.

I'll do three-day
blocks of training.

Two days with two
types of different efforts.

And then a bit of a longer ride,
just to build up the endurance.

One gym session
per training block.

And then a rest day.

And then you start over.

I think I'm definitely one of the
guys that puts in the most hours.

Like, the most strict
with the schedule.

He has no limit on training.

You say to Kasper, it's
minus five in Denmark

in the winter, and he
has to do five hours.

He just do five hours.

He doesn't think about it.

He just does it.

He always wants to improve.

Everything is much smoother
tomorrow if you just do it immediately.

How do you think your
teammates would describe you?

Yeah, I think probably
solitary is a good word.

I sometimes have my
own way of doing things.

On training camps, I'll often sit like 100
meters behind the group just to have the

wind in my face all the time
and always keep the intensity up.

I hope they don't think I'm
too weird, but it's, you know...

I know I am.

I try not to be too weird.

Kasper Asgreen is an
exceptionally talented rider.

He's been national time
trial champion several times.

He's won one of the biggest
one-day races in the sport.

The Tour de France,
however, is a different beast.

He's brought here
as a domestique.

He's never won a stage
at the Tour de France.

Winning a stage
is simply not his job.

Stage 18 starts for real now.

Denmark's former national
champion, Kasper Asgreen

of Soudal Quick-Step
doesn't waste any time.

He's already attacking.

An immediate surge
from Soudal Quick-Step.

Fuck me!

Stupid.

Who's charged ahead?

Kasper Asgreen.

Kasper Asgreen must have a plan.

We were like, how the hell?

You know it's very difficult that
the breakaway goes to the finish line.

He'll have like 10%
chance it will work.

Kasper, if you still
hear us, just take it easy.

Just take it easy.

I don't know if it was the
team plan, but it was my plan.

I had no doubts.

I was just all in.

It's all about trying to get that win for
us so we don't go home empty-handed.

Asgreen sets the tempo.

The gap is now 1
minute 34 seconds.

Three riders against the whole
weight and power of the peloton behind.

It's pretty much a
kamikaze mission.

There was 180
kilometers maybe in the

headwind with three
against the full peloton.

So I say good luck.

When Kasper made his breakaway,
everyone was just afraid to follow him.

Afraid to hurt your
body even more.

Everyone was on their
hands and knees and

so exhausted from the
whole race in general.

He's racing for now,
but it's entirely possible.

It's possible that he'll be told to stop
because there's not too much point.

Little hope today
for the breakaway.

30 seconds, 3-0.

Kasper, you know 30
seconds is not much.

You just take it easy in the front
or they catch you or they don't.

Today, the sprinters
are looking for a fight and

they're watching this
breakaway very closely.

Push it.

Push it.

For now, the peloton has
the situation under control, but

it's going to take a lot of
effort to stay at the front.

Jasper Philipsen's plan will be to allow
a safe breakaway, but keeping them on a

fairly short leash so that
you know you can bring

them back again in
time for the sprint finish.

Jasper Philipsen
blocks the road.

What's he doing?

It's Philipsen.

Come on.

Philipsen's are
just stupid shit.

Philipsen using a
bit of intimidation.

He's got no intention of letting
any other riders join the breakaway.

To keep the peloton
away was incredibly hard.

I was suffering.

I had pain everywhere
from sitting in that aggressive

position the whole day
and just pushing, pushing.

It really takes a
toll on the body.

They're going to take it home.

You'll see I'm not wrong.

Yep.

Yeah, that moment
we start to believe.

I was happy to be in front,
but I knew it was not over yet.

So it was really a fight
and get as much power

as possible into the
battles and into the road.

Now we have to get the team
organized to take the breakaway

and we give them the full
support to win the stage.

You have to wonder what Sudor
Quickstep are playing at here.

They really need
to slow down more.

Julien Alaphilippe
joins the front of the

peloton, causing trouble
for the group behind.

I'll do whatever I can, I mean
anything, just to get Kasper to the front.

There's no question about it.

He's not making any friends at the peloton
today, but he's not here to do that.

If I can, I'll get myself to the front
group to break up their momentum and slow

them down, just for half a
second or even a second.

Alaphilippe working for his team
by coming to disrupt this chase.

What a great job by the
former world champion.

It could just be that one second that
makes guys at the back throw in the towel.

Or guys at the front.

It really is a very cool trick.

You stick together in
the front, good boys.

Good boys.

You can see the Alps and Deceuninck
riders starting to get a little nervous.

62 kilometers an hour in the
breakaway, 61 in the peloton.

We were riding full gas in the
peloton and we were not coming closer.

They were, yeah,
stronger than we expected.

Come on, Kasper, with the guys.

Up each other out.

Come on, man.

18 seconds with
6 kilometers to go.

The gap is closing.

Bravo, Kasper.

Come on, bravo.

Just keep fighting.

A 13-second lead for
the four at the front.

The peloton is
coming back strong.

You get a bit discouraged when you hear on
the radio that the time gap is going down.

Will they get caught?

But then we kept pushing
and we kept working together.

1,400 meters to go
in the breakaway.

Still has a chance
of going all the way.

10 seconds.

You're going to make it.

Come on.

You pull, you guys,
till the finish line.

Come on, eh?

The finish line is in sight.

Now we're going to be sprinting
forward to the front stage.

Can they keep this going
all the way to the finish?

Don't stop now, Kasper.

Go.

Go, Kasper.

Just 250 meters to go.

Kasper Askreen accelerates.

Can the breakaway stay away?

Go, Kasper.

Go, go, go.

Behind Pedersen.

Philipsen.

Askreen out in front and behind.

It's incredible.

The breakaway stayed away.

Askreen wins the stage.

And then a split second later,
like, everybody just came past.

The bunch were so close.

No one believed it would happen, but
the breakaway stayed ahead of the peloton.

What a race for Kasper Askreen.

What a sprint.

That's what you call a Wolfpack.

To win out the breakaway
in those circumstances,

with that peloton chasing
you, that's very rare.

That was exceptional.

And that made it
very, very special.

For everybody,
it was a big relief.

We can be proud
of this year now.

I saw a photo where I
was standing like this.

It was like, yeah, it's just
surreal at that point, you know.

Honestly, did you think that you
were going to win a stage of the Tour de

France, I mean, with the
bunch putting the pressure on?

Even a small group can manage
to cheat the sprinter teams.

So I didn't thin rule it out.

Well, then.

Holy card, the holy card!

Come on, guys.

This is what we need, man.

Julian has given his
teammates the full support.

Does that make
Julian's tour perfect?

No.

Oh, so, so, so, so happy.

So nice, Max!

But does that make him
loved within his team?

For sure.

That's the thing you
should do as a leader.

Did they ride a
motorbike or something?

It can't be.

It's impossible.

Impossible.

Impossible.

That can't have happened.

They rode behind the motorcycle.

That cannot go on when
we're going all out like that.

It's impossible.

Impossible.

I can understand
the frustration.

But, yeah, if another team
wins, another team wins.

Ridiculous.

There's really no way.

We were in front of the peloton.

We were in control.

It's also a little bit
in the sprinter's mind.

It's very difficult to lose.

But you lose more than you win.

No, thank you to everybody.

It hasn't been the easiest for us,
but I'm happy to give back a victory.

It would be a shame
to break the streak of

always taking at least
one victory in the tour.

Thank you, guys.

It's an explosion of joy.

There's like 100 kilos
falling from your shoulders.

Struggling to win one stage
when you're used to win four, five.

For us, it was like there was a
drama not winning it to the first stage.

But the tour is over on the
Champs-Élysées, not before.

You can't give up before
you cross the line in Paris.

As a man, you don't give
up when you get there.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think everybody
found yesterday a very interesting race.

All the congrats we had.

I nevied got a banana
with your name on it.

They spelled my name wrong.

Also, congrats to the
teammates behind.

The motivation, the blocking of
the guys... No, no, really well done.

Of course, today's another race.

And we are not
here to play cards.

This you can do
the rest of your life.

It's again full-on, maybe the
longest finish of the whole year.

After yesterday's win, I think everybody
has a bit of renewed motivation.

Stage 19, it's a good
stage for us, to be honest.

I need to see how the legs are and
how the body feels after yesterday.

But I haven't been in the
breakaway all day yesterday.

It's maybe not ideal, but we'll
give it another chance today.

The first part of the
climb is still OK, 4%.

The second part is steeper.

We know that everyone's burned
out from what we pulled off yesterday.

But doing it again
would be great.

Quick Step shattered the idea
of an impossible breakaway.

There's just three days to go, and
this strategy they've employed has

become a serious threat
for teams with sprinters.

And so, this has fuelled
all those teams that don't

have sprinters and want
to secure a stage victory.

Of course, it's not easy.

Of course, we tell ourselves
that we'll all go for the breakaway.

Know that today, like yesterday, could
see the fight run over several kilometres.

You'll have to watch
out for Mati Moric.

He's got stamina and talent.

Because of what happened
in the breakaway, in

stage 18, we presumed
the breakaway has a chance.

First objective,
to go in the break.

Once we are in the
break, we can start thinking,

but we need to go full
on the climb to bridge.

We can do this, no?

Stage 19 was the last chance to get a stage
win for 99% of the riders left in the race.

So I was really determined to make
sharp decisions and give it my best shot.

Cycling is becoming more and more of
a sport where not only physical strength

makes a difference,
but also tactical choices.

The winning margins
sometimes are ridiculously small.

Races are won or
lost by millimeters.

The track really pushes
you into the track.

It's all about being as young, as
fast and as dynamic as possible.

It's a dynamic thing,
but you don't need that.

I've been riding like
this for 60 hours now.

I always liked science,
particularly numbers.

I'm a methodical
and precise person.

I think about the powers I need to
push on a certain section of the course.

I think about the gap, I think about
the wind, I think about the speed.

I think about the gradient.

And I think it really makes
me the type of rider I am.

Guys, we go today from
Morin-en-Montagne to Poligny.

Two KOMs today and
one sprint at 97.7, Jasper.

After yesterday, never
underestimate anything.

But today we have to try
to make something out of it.

For sure, four stage wins was
already more than my expectations,

but I just want to win one
more time in the green jersey.

And the winner of yesterday, Kasper
Askreen, and he's a Maa Day this year!

Stage 19 is underway.

A 172.8 KOM.

For the majority of riders, this
is the last chance for a stage win.

After this, it will be too late.

The whole stage was
just incredibly fast.

It was really hard, but I knew since
the very start that I have great legs.

Are there any riders capable of
repeating yesterday's breakaway?

Very, very hectic.

There was a lot of riders
that were motivated.

I think messy is
a good word for it.

The race has been on for a
while now and still no breakaway.

I wasted quite a bit of energy following
and attacking in the opening two hours.

But I sure wanted to
make sure that I have

no regrets at the bus
after the finish line.

Here comes Kasper
Askreen attacking again.

There was a split second
of hesitation, but I knew

in that moment that this
was the wheel to follow.

Matej Moric, Ben O'Connor and Kasper
Askreen try to join Campanez, trying to

breathe life into this
breakaway to win the stage.

Oh, Campanez cracks.

Just three leaders now.

Moric, O'Connor and Askreen.

The trio have started out well.

This was my opportunity.

I was like, now's the chance.

Now I'm going to see
if I can pull it off again.

It's a very high average speed.

You can see how hard O'Connor
has to work to stay in the wheels.

I mean, you definitely have
to be in the break today.

But it's hot, it's fast,
it's up and down.

And you take a chance
and you try to win.

Good, Kasper.

Come on, let that engine go.

I was really suffering.

The body had definitely taken
a big toll after yesterday's stage.

A 30-second lead.

That's massive, given
the speed of the peloton.

The whole stage, I was
thinking about the physics.

The speeds were
incredibly high, so it was

really, really important
to spend energy wisely.

This is how things stand.

Three leaders at the front, chased
by the group we can see here.

The group behind has both
Amanda Pohl and Jasper Philipsen.

Really fast riders that we
definitely don't want to have join us.

20 seconds.

20 seconds.

At the front, the three riders are
moving at close to 60 kilometers per hour.

You know the feeling
from yesterday?

That gives you wings, eh?

Remember that feeling?

We go full power, eh?

Despite all their efforts, the guys in the
peloton can't catch up to the front group.

Red Kite, one kilometer to go.

Matty Moric, Ben O'Connor
and Kasper Asgreen.

Victory will go to one
of these three men.

Coming to that finale, I
was physically on my limits.

I knew that Kasper knew that he
was the strongest and fastest sprinter.

You're faster, Mr. Asgreen.

Let's do this again, eh?

This close to the finish line.

It's going to be a
battle of nerves.

Who will attack first?

We all worked really hard and
we arrived on the last kilometer.

I expect Ben O'Connor
will go pretty early.

So I'm just waiting
for him to go.

It's not good.

I just don't think
he's going to do it.

When you're actually in that moment
and have a chance to win the stage,

you have to take the bull by the
horns, not being scared or worried.

Just fight it out.

It's make or break
now for Ben O'Connor.

The Australian attacks.

I move out to the stream with
as much speed as I possibly can.

Head down for the line.

O'Connor looks around.

It's over.

Here goes Kasper Asgreen.

Will he win two days in a row?

When Kasper made his move, I just squeezed
out every strength that I had left.

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Photo finish!

Asgreen and Moric.

I had no idea.

I looked at Mati
and said, you know?

He also didn't know.

Mati!

This is Mati!

It's photo finish, Kasper.

Photo finish.

Good job, man.

Hell of a ride again.

Who crossed the
finish line first?

It's Asgreen against Moric.

Has Kasper Asgreen won again?

Or did Moric manage to
throw his bike across the line?

From this angle, it
looks like it's Asgreen.

But no!

It's Moric!

Mati Moric wins!

You win!

You win!

You win!

Yes!

Yes!

What?

Fuck!

Congrats, Mr. Kasper.

It's been a hell of a ride, man.

By throwing his bike at
the line, Mati Moric won.

Mati Moric wins his third
ever stage of the Tour

de France and you can
understand the emotion.

It's the closest finish
we've had on this tour.

Never mind, Kasper.

Fuck!

Fuck, it's annoying
to be so close.

Can you tell us, can you explain
what this victory means for you?

It means a lot because it's just hard
and cruel to be a professional cyclist.

You suffer a lot in preparations,
you sacrifice your life, your family and

you know what everyone
else is going through.

And then in the end you almost feel like
you betrayed them because you beat them.

I wish that everybody could
win at the Tour de France

stage but it's just not
possible and that's cruel, no?

I knew I had to make
everything perfect, a match

just for myself, also for
Gino and for the team.

I'm super happy
and proud right now.

Thank you.

It was nothing I could do.

I had done everything I could.

If I had been able to
pull that one off, win

two days in a row,
that would have been...

That would really have
been for the history books.

Fuck!

Hey, in the Tour, you can't
go and win two days in a row.

I know.

I just took a chance.

It was really just instinctive.

Left that stage.

With more confidence.

But still a little bit like...

Dang it.

I wish...

I wish I had won that day.

There wasn't a
lot else I could do.

Yes!

The good thing I did was
to keep everything separated

so my suitcase is not
like a bomb that exploded.

Only the green jersey is a bit... I
didn't have enough space for this.

I didn't expect it
to have that many.

So for this I have to
sort some extra space.

Sadly there was no jersey
to collect at this stage.

But I think I can call myself
the best sprinter in the world.

Stage 21 in Paris is always special
to finish on the Champs-Élysées.

It's the most iconic sprint
of the Tour de France.

The little fight for the
win there will be tough.

But I'm looking forward
to take this challenge.

Cycling is the man,
the effort and the

connection to the people
who are around you.

There's always a lot expected
from the French riders in the Tour.

So there's an
awful lot of stress.

It was really tough
for me from the start.

To end with green in Paris
is a goal for all the sprinters.

Will Jasper Philipsen be
able to take his fifth stage win?

Of course Jasper will win.

He takes it all.

Is it Mayus or Philipsen?
