All language subtitles for Tour De France Unchained S02e08 The Last Dance (Tour De France Unchained S02e08 The Last Dance) (ENGLISH)

Grafana FDJ is
on everyone's lips.

Thibaut Pinot is fighting to
reach the top of the Puy de Dome.

He's in all sorts of trouble.

We weren't very good.

Grafana FDJ have struggled
since the start of this Tour de France.

At the start, that's enough.

No, turn it off.

No stage win.

No podium.

And now there's a storm coming.

There's a news just in that Richard
Plugga, the manager of Jumbo Visma,

gave an interview.

It says that he was
quoted in the keep.

He said that on their
rest day, he saw riders

in Team Groupama
FDJ downing some beer.

And that's not the best way
to improve their performance.

That was very smart of Plugga.

Instead of wondering if
Jonas is doping, everyone's

talking about Groupama's
lack of professionalism.

For me, what Mr. Plugga
said is way off the mark.

This is my last Tour de France.

I don't need someone telling me
whether I should have a beer or not.

Don't attack my riders.

I get nasty if you
attack my riders.

Are you going to the Ferds?

You're an animal.

I'm stuffed.

I read stuff online.

In the media and on
Twitter and all that.

That displeased me no end.

It's deplorable.

Pathetic.

Pitiful.

I don't like anyone questioning
your honor and your integrity.

For me, our motivation
is crystal clear.

You show them who you are.

Agreed?

And show them on the bike.

So when your legs
start to hurt, they'll hurt

even more when you
think of those assholes.

What they said about you.

What he said about you.

Here's to Richard.

Huh?

You said it.

Richard.

Nice one.

Fuck's sake, my balls hurt.

Yep.

Not a pretty sight in my shorts.

Really not.

I can tell you.

Yep.

Mr. Plugga said that all us Groupama
riders were getting drunk on beer.

On rest days.

And that's why they're
stronger than us.

Hysterical.

It's just provocation.

I think he was taking a
pop at Mark, you know?

A cheap shot.

We have to put
up with it for a bit.

But it's just to get
tongues wagging.

That's all.

Isn't it annoying to fall out with one of
the biggest teams on a day like today?

They can take it out
on me if they want.

But questioning my rider's
honor, it's that that really hurts.

They're taking the piss.

I would not take it too
personally if I was Mark Mario.

And the funny thing I thought was
that it was denied that they drank beer.

So I want to reassure him, the management
drinks beer, but the riders don't.

I'm not happy.

I'm not happy.

Because it makes us look stupid.

And our work is sloppy.

They were clowns.

If it touches a nerve, then maybe that's
something to think about for yourself.

I'm upset for my boys.

Because I know they are working
very hard and they make sacrifices.

And I know they're committed.

That's enough.

Why are you making
such a fuss about this?

It's okay, because
you can drink beer.

We also drink beer.

In Paris.

After the race.

Year after year, the big foreign
teams always use the same tactics.

It's pretty clear that the French
don't take it too seriously, right?

Yeah, maybe.

We're not at the same
level as last year, that's true.

But when you have teams
that have two or three times

your budget, I do the best
I can with what I've got.

And it's difficult for the French teams to
compete at a top level without resources.

Because we don't have
the capacity to have two...

too many top-tier riders.

We're in a place where
we have good riders.

Very good riders.

But at the same time, if
you wanted to compare it to

football, our reserves aren't
as strong as other teams.

I have a lot of respect for
Marc Marleau because of what

he did in the many years
that he's running this team.

There was more coincidence
that it was a French team.

What I did from the beginning when we
had the smallest budget of the World Tour,

we put a lot of energy, time and
money into the trainers, nutritionists,

science to become faster.

It's up to the others to take an example
of that and look towards the future.

They're meticulous at jumbo.

Very Germanic.

Thought out, analyzed, dissected,
engineered, whatever you want to call it.

Organized.

That's jumbo.

When you look at Gripalma FDJ and
Marc Marleau and how he runs that team,

they rely on that French
Republic fighting spirit.

It's a complete contrast to the likes
of Jumbo Visma, which is run on data,

which is run on science,
on cold, hard fact.

And I'm so grateful that
both teams are there because

that is what makes the Tour
de France the Tour de France.

I do the best
with what I've got.

Right now, I'm the team manager.

I want my team to perform well.

I want to show Richard Ploeger
that real cycling is about the men.

The effort.

Goosebumps.

And connecting with your team.

A rider like Pino, say.

There.

There she goes.

There are so many.

It's my treasure.

They're beautiful.

Doug, go on.

No, gently.

Oh, shit.

It broke.

Beautiful.

Yeah, good job.

World record for
the biggest cat.

Yeah, right.

Since I announced in January to the public
that I was retiring, I feel so much freer.

This will be my
life from now on.

My animals, my garden.

It will be a great way
to keep myself occupied.

I enjoy it.

I love it.

The atmosphere in
cycling has changed.

It's stricter now.

More rigorous.

More meticulous.

Our careers are short and
they're over before you know it.

I've had a lot of highs.

A lot of lows.

Timo Pino.

You've got to give him up.

Come on.

Pino is flying.

Pino is flying.

Pino is flying.

He's down.

I'm not the world's best cyclist,
but I'm pretty popular in France.

I think I've touched people's
hearts during my career.

I'm someone that
they can identify with.

Timo Pino is a
hero to the French.

He races with guts.

He attacks when he wants.

And even if it doesn't
work, we still applaud him.

Timo!

Timo!

Timo!

This is my last Tour de France.

And I want to finish
my career at the top.

We're looking forward to
this final mountain stage.

133 kilometers today.

A very short stage.

It's going to be explosive,
nerve-wracking, and hard to control.

Guys, yeah.

Just eight minutes.

Eight minutes.

You have time to go.

I'm thinking about myself.

It's my last race and
my last Tour, so...

I'll ride the best race I can.

I'm under the most
pressure of my whole career.

I know this stage by heart.

I'm at home, on
my training routes.

I don't want to let people down.

Today, Timo Pino says,
goodbye to the Tour de France.

Can he win this
last mountain stage?

He's got his very
own corner today.

Timo Pino!

There's been a social media appeal to
get all Timo Pino's fans to gather here.

Timo!

Timo Pino!

Timo Pino!

We've been here two
and a half hours now.

It's incredible.

We came all this
way to enjoy it, yeah.

Nice one.

You do that.

All right.

We have a collective
responsibility here.

We can't hinder the race.

Here we go, my friends.

So, plan for today.

The absolute main goal is, of
course, to keep the yellow jersey.

But, yeah, it would be nice that we
are able to go for the stage as well.

Yeah.

And really have the confidence
that we are still the strongest team.

And we are by far
the strongest leader.

There is nobody stronger after 20
days of Tour de France than you are.

Also, yeah, possible that URE takes
over to go for the stage with Pogacar.

I don't know if Pogacar is
strong enough anymore to do it.

But, yeah, they will
have that idea, maybe.

The battle for general
classification is pretty much over.

We know that Jonas Vingegaard
is going to win this Tour de France.

Tadej Pogacar is
going to be hurting.

But can he come back fighting?

Yeah.

And relax.

Pain here on the right side?

A little bit close.

OK.

I wanted to win the yellow jersey, but
it was ruined by my failure on stage 17.

Such a bad day on the bike.

You try to restore yourself.

Getting better every day.

Mm-hm.

Breathing.

Because I want to
fight to finish strong.

For us, the big goal
is to win the stage.

It's better to stay in front so you
can control and say, OK, go, go, go.

Do close.

Before this final kilometer,
for sure will not be big group.

And if go jumbo, we
need to be there still.

Of course the goal
was to win the Tour.

There's no self-approach.

We know that if Tadej has the opportunity
out there, then he's the strongest rider.

If I have a really
good day, I can win.

I am planning to go all in.

It's a big chance to
go for the stage victory.

In front of me, I
don't want nobody.

Both Tadej Pogacar and Thibaut Pinot have
an enemy to fight, and that is Jumbo Visma.

For Tadej Pogacar,
this is a matter of pride.

He wants to show to himself
as much as anyone else

that he can still win
against Younes Vingegault.

And for Thibaut Pinot,
it's his final Tour de France.

It's the final mountain stage,
and these are his home roads.

He's got to show these big
guns that we mean business.

This is our race.

We're the French team
at the Tour de France.

We're going to show
them how we do it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CHEERING AND
APPLAUSE CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CHEERING

AND APPLAUSE Well, the
Tour de France is underway.

Is this the end of an era?

Yeah, it most
certainly is, mate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Already, some attacks
at the front of the peloton.

Riders are asking themselves, how
can they hold on to a good position?

A

group of five has just
made its way out to the front.

I could feel the stage
getting away from me.

I was feeling a lot of pressure.

That's it, that's it!

Go, go, go!

The gap to the peloton
is now 27 seconds.

As the kilometres went
by, I had to get back

into the swing of
things, back in the race.

My goal was to get
into the breakaway.

So I had to stay
calm, stay focused.

Pinot pushing hard
to get back to the front.

To get into the breakaway, you've got to
have strong legs and a feel for the race.

Good knowledge of the terrain
really helped me out there.

Pinot accelerates to get
to the front of the race.

It's

made up a 30-second
gap at incredible speed.

That's it, well done.

Pinot now joins the
group there at the front.

The lead group.

Perfect.

No,

no one's got signal up here.

No idea at all, so it's
going to be a surprise.

The kilometres fell away
and I wanted to go it alone.

My goal was to win this stage.

And here goes Thibaut Pinot.

Attack of the Frenchman
on his home territory.

This is great for Thibaut.

I've always been a bit
old school, as they say.

I ride on instinct.

And I think that it's
reasonable to suggest

that today, that instinct
to take risks is gone.

Alone at the front, Thibaut
Pinot, Groupama FDJ.

Here

we are, Thibaut Pinot
reaches his corner.

Welcome home, Thibaut.

It was just a wall of sound.

Such an incredible noise.

I'll remember it for
the rest of my life.

I could just make
out my brother.

And I knew my whole
family was there too.

Thibaut Pinot flies
high, carried by the wind.

I know the crowd.

I think people came to celebrate
the rider that I used to be.

The rider that
they grew up with.

They wanted to say
thank you and goodbye.

It's giving me goosebumps.

What a great sporting moment.

Quite exceptional.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Suddenly, 14 years of cycling
with Pinot have culminated here.

Thibaut Pinot is a
throwback to the days of old.

When everyone's riding to numbers,
Thibaut Pinot is riding to his heart,

to his soul.

He gives us a reason
to dare to dream.

The energy at that
corner was intense.

It gave me a surge of strength.

And I got to the summit.

And on the descent,
there was no one else.

It was just me and my bike.

My ears were still
ringing from all the noise.

And I didn't really
know where I was.

Pinot keeps pushing with
a stage victory in his sights.

There's a 1 minute
27 gap to the peloton.

It's going well.

Yeah!

Gj だ, ersten beat in 12 seconds.

Thanks to Luis!!!

That makes sense!

They're just trying
to make Jonas for fun.

It's true.

Thank you so
much, Ruben Harris!!!

You killed it!

Of course it's not nice that there's
all this fight between two teams.

They were not very nice to
watch me or my teammates.

Well, a lot of fun in the
Thibaut Pinot corner soon.

I'm not going to open the
window to put a mirror in front of it.

Some people were taking
it a little bit too seriously.

And were maybe angry
even, which I understand.

But it was not against
the French at all.

I love the French because they gave
us the most beautiful race in the world.

This is the final mountain
of this year's Tour de France.

These are the eight most important
kilometers of Thibaut Pinot's career.

The yellow jersey
peloton led by UAE.

One minute.

I had to win.

We tried to bring him
back as much as possible.

Just keep fighting.

Just keep fighting.

And here comes the attack.

Pogacar accelerates.

He wants this stage.

He messes up the pace.

But the car is
always in the lead.

30 seconds, Thibaut.

30 seconds.

Out front it's Pinot.

Four kilometers to the summit.

Wengergaard and Pogacar.

10 seconds behind you.

I know that I was
ahead of the others.

Thibaut Pinot and
London in front.

He's not stopping.

We were in a good place.

But I would not say we were
overconfident that we got this, you know.

You almost already catch Pinoa.

You're going for the
stage victory, yeah?

They've caught up
with Thibaut Piedot.

Six riders now
in the lead group.

Come on, Thibaut.

Come on.

Concentrate.

Felix Galle goes for it.

Wengergaard
follows right behind.

Astus Pogacar.

Fuck's sake.

Crank it up.

Thibaut Piedot is dropped.

After an incredible solo performance,
he kisses victory goodbye.

Well, it's over.

It's over.

Cycling's pretty
straightforward.

It's just a battle between
your legs and a slope.

And you can't always
come out on top.

We're only human.

And that's all there is to it.

Come on, Jonas.

Those walls are still
possible to win the stage.

Come on.

I said, OK, I'll prove to
everybody that I can win again.

It's full gas to
the finish line.

Come on, you're almost there.

Come on now.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Go, go, go.

300 meters to go.

Come on, Jonas.

You showed them
again who's the strongest.

I'm not going to sit back thinking,
what can I do to win this race?

I want to give everything and
take the win away from him.

And Wengergaard
attacks on the right.

Pogacar is in his wheel.

Go on, go on.

This inseparable duo.

A knack and knack
right to the finish.

Tadej Pogacar wins.

I was relieved that I
have still good legs.

I was satisfied also with
the small sprint finish.

It was one of the
nicest stages I won.

To win stage 20 gives a lot of
confidence that I can do Grand

Tour and finish it good, even
if I have bad days in between.

Is there a part of you
that thought you'd win?

A little bit, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thibaut can always...

He's always capable.

UAE wanting the stage win.

Well, that was
what screwed us up.

There were no excuses that day.

We were outclassed.

But my fear for many years was
ending up as a nobody or out of shape.

What a day for Thibaut Pinot, voted
the most combative rider of stage 20.

Today the people on the side of
the road saw something special.

It's a beautiful ending for me.

That's something to be proud of.

Good evening, sir.

Evening.

Is this for your room?

Yeah.

Oh shit!

What's up, man?

Well done.

Yeah, you should be proud.

Nice one, man.

Well played.

Proud of you.

You're a pain in the
arse right to the end.

It wasn't just me.

You're a pain in the
arse and made me cry.

This stage says it all.

He was in position
to win, but he didn't.

And I think that it's
poetic that he didn't win.

It fits with everything else.

So let's drink to...

Richard.

To Richard.

To Richard.

To Richard.

Victory is important.

Yes, we want to go for the win, but at
the same time, we also need the passion.

Good night.

Sleep well then, guys.

Well done, dude.

I never thought that I'd
end my career like this

on my old training routes
with all these people.

It was beautiful, really.

And of course I
wanted to win, but...

That's the sport and I
had a really good send-off.

20 days of racing.

20 days of racing.

And more than 3,000 kilometers, we've
reached the last stage of the Tour now.

The battle for the general
classification is over.

And Jonas just has
to get over the line.

Today, it's the sprinters charging
down the Champs-Élysées.

I'm excited to
go to Paris again.

It's been a long
three weeks, for sure.

It will be super cool to win
on the Champs-Élysées.

I won last year there.

And I will have a
good beer tonight.

And we will celebrate
together with the team.

And I think I proved that I'm
the best sprinter in the world.

So I can only be
happy with the win.

Winning in Paris
is always special.

It's the last one.

Of course, it's important
for Jasper to win.

He takes it all.

What's there to say?

Jasper Philipsen is the out-and-out
favorite for the Champs-Élysées.

Mark Cavendish has gone home.

Fabio Jakobsen has gone home.

Wout van Aert has gone home.

But this is the last chance for all the
other teams to be able to win a stage.

They're not going to
go down without a fight.

The last day.

The last dance.

So, boys.

Last meeting.

Then we go home.

I think it's not a secret we don't
want to have a bunch sprint.

It's not a secret also we have
the manpower on board to

make it tough for the guys
who want to go for the sprint.

So if you get in the
breakaway, just floor it.

So Alidl is out.

Fabio is out of the race.

But I managed to win a stage.

So I will try to get out there to
give it everything for another one.

So you think you
had a shot today?

When you're at the start, then
you have the numbers pinned.

There's always a shot.

Now we have a
spectacular Paris stage here.

Don't pee in the crowds.

And don't send flying kisses to
your wife, girlfriends while racing.

You know, it's one of the
most prestigious stages to grab.

And I think we all want to show
what we have done in three weeks.

We would like to win that stage.

We started with a
so-called two-way strategy.

We wanted to win
the tour, you could say.

Because we wanted to reach
the podium with Jai Hindley.

And also wanted to win at least one
stage with our sprinter, Jordi Meijers.

And now the
podium's not possible.

So Jordi is the last chance.

If you see the crowds, Jordi, of
course, you know, it's massive.

It's really like one of the
biggest events you can do.

Sprinters will certainly put their
elbows out and say, willing to kill.

I cannot say I'm overjoyed
with the results I had.

So far sixth was the best.

The team expected
at least one victory.

And I know I'm not the top favorite
for Champs-Élysées, that's for sure.

But I will give it
100% to win the stage.

No matter how it looks
on paper as a mission

impossible, you still
have to keep on trying.

Quick step one
to be in the break.

But we want to sprint.

That's our goal.

Bora, I don't think.

But there are teams with
different objectives, for sure.

Hey, but I'm stressed.

I can't handle this.

You have no idea what
the word means, you know.

Jasper is making jokes about it.

But he forgets one thing, that it changes
his attitude and his cycling career.

This day, last year.

Changed?

Yes.

As a person, he became
a bit more arrogant, yes.

That's correct.

But for us... Thank you.

Performance-wise, it
was better since then.

It was better, thank you.

But we buy us a good
rope to bring him back down.

I'm arrogant.

Don't give a shit.

We all get one.

Have a lasser, Zinzi.

Difference with last year?

Yeah, it was the
yellow jersey mainly.

Well, I got four this time.

But of course, today we
could put the cherry on top.

That really would
be an incredible win.

It was a way for
me to end the tour.

Bum, bum, bum.

La vlam, vlam, ham!

Bum, bum, bum.

La vlam, vlam, ham!

Nice to see you, Jasper.

I'm getting a gut.

Can you sprint like that?

Look at this.

Don't go like this.

Yeah, the zipper's broken.

You're good, Jasper.

Yeah.

Bad egg.

We aim for the victory
today with Jasper, of course.

And in the end, maybe
it's the perfect picture.

The Champs-Élysées,
five-stage win in Tour de France,

I think it's for every
team, would be enormous.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Will today be the day that Jasper Philipsen
takes his fifth win in this Tour de France?

As is traditional on
the final stage of the

Tour, the first few
kilometres are taken slow.

Once

the riders reach the Champs-Élysées,
the race will really begin.

If you see an opportunity, you
feel your legs, just take it, eh?

Niels, Marco, Danny and
Jordi, you get together.

Try to find each other
slowly now, eh, guys?

Everybody knows
where he has to be.

You don't lose concentration and
then you are there when you have to be.

Yeah, try to attack,
try to go, try to go.

Soudal, quick step at the front.

Go, go, go, he's
gone, he's out of there.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Soudal, quick step at
over 64 kilometres an hour.

We show no stress.

The Ampersand de
Koenig team will try to

control the attacks
right to the finish line.

Fuck, what's going on?

Fuck, that was a drop.

And they're on the last lap.

Wait at the back of the bunch,
wait at the back of the bunch.

We don't need to talk to
understand what we have to do.

I know what my job is.

Good situation for us, eh?

Good situation.

And now all the
sprinters are in front.

The pace is very high.

Come on, eh, guys, five to go.

We bring this one home, eh?

The poorer Hansgrohe riders
are all at the front of the peloton.

Bob, Conny, just pick him
up, move him to the middle.

One kilometre from the finish line,
the last kilometre of the Tour de France.

When you have the
position, just try to jump

again to hurt the guys
who have the control.

The sprinters are getting ready.

They can see the finish line.

The Alpecin de Koenig
riders are at the front.

Mathieu van der Poel with
Jasper Philipsen in his wheel.

Jasper Philipsen pushes
Dylan Groenewegen.

You hesitate until
the orange goes.

You want to wait
as long as possible.

Jordi Meijer
sprints on the left.

Wow, four of them
on the same line.

Who will win?

Philipsen was there.

So was Jordi Meijers.

I've lost so much.

And?

I didn't see either.

Groenewegen, Philipsen.

Jordi Meijers.

Photo finish.

Meijers or Philipsen?

Photo finish.

Photo finish.

Jordi, was it your man?

No, No, I didn't see anything.

Sure?

Jordi Meijers wins.

Oh, that was super special.

Um, it was the only sprinter

It's nice to win a stage, but it's even
nicer if you can beat the unbeatable.

There are no gifts for nobody.

You can win by a small margin,
but that makes a huge difference.

We could have
won that one easily.

It was important for us to win
and it would have been nice

for Jasper to finish it off in
Paris, but it didn't happen.

The 2023 Tour de France
for Bora Hansgrohe.

Two stage wins, one
day in the yellow jersey.

And when you win the
unofficial World Championship

for sprinters, that's
really something special.

Could be worse, no?

Winning the green jersey is a great
accomplishment, but definitely as a

sprinter you're only as
good as your last race.

If you won a few races
in a row, then you're the

hero, and if you then lose,
you're nothing anymore.

I'm a happy man.

It's finished.

For me, the Tour is special.

Though honestly, this year
I was so shit, I'm telling you.

It was hard.

Three weeks.

Yes, it was.

Yeah, but there's
a fourth one for you.

My dream still is to
finish on the podium, but

I still race for the
best every single day.

I got beaten up by the best
as well every single day.

Ha!

Ha!

Being able to compete with
the best cyclists on the planet.

You are very close to their
success, and you are very close

to witnessing when their
dreams are shredded up in pieces.

And it brings
compassion out in you.

Of course, if you wrote it, you
wouldn't want it to end like that.

Yeah, ultimately, I don't
want to share it with the record.

So I spent a long time thinking,
fuck, can I do another year?

And, yeah, let's just do it.

Fuck it.

And there he is, ladies and
gentlemen, walking away

with the yellow jersey for
the second year in a row.

The one and only Yonatan.

Jonas Vingegaard.

Yes, that's right.

He's congratulated
by the mayor of Paris.

Something special.

The Tour de France is the
biggest race in the world.

And, yeah, now I
have it two times.

Cycling is very simple.

It is always the
best one who wins.

I hope I can do it again.

It's sports, you know.

You want to be the best.

I don't want to have
the popularity prize.

I don't care what people think.

Because there's only one
thing that counts for me.

Winning the yellow jersey.

In the end, we took
second, third GC.

Yeah, we missed the
cherry on the top of the cake.

And we go for that next year.

Are you happy now?

Yeah, well, I'm content.

And it's a relief
that it's all over.

And that it ended well.

Thank you.

No, thank you.

I had dreamed as a kid about
doing the Tour de France.

And they all came true.

And the winner of the Tour, Jonas
Vengergaard, holding up his yellow bike.

Richard Plugger and I
are cut from different cloths.

I'm part of the
older generation.

We don't necessarily
agree, but I can have a beer

with people that I
don't agree with, can't I?

Yeah, having a drink
with them is no problem.

Hey, why are you
late getting here?

Now we switch to champagne.

He won it.

Yes, he won.

But winning isn't necessarily
the most important part.

And Pino, unintentionally,
achieved something different.

He won the love
of the whole public.

Pino always brought
his truth to cycling.

And he connected
with everyone that way.

He is a man, a man to follow.

He is a man to be loved.

Thanks, Dimon!
