Transcript
00:00 The spectators are banging the barriers and they're banging them for the Western Australian.
00:10 Jai Hindley in his first appearance at the Tour de France.
00:14 Hindley's the hero and Hindley is in yellow.
00:20 Jai Hindley will become the eighth Australian to wear the yellow jersey.
00:26 Jai Hindley has put all the contenders of the Tour de France in the shade today.
00:32 And over a minute for Vengagard on the line as well over Taddei Pogacar.
00:37 I think I had a super good day.
00:40 What is your state of mind right now?
00:41 Is it disappointment?
00:42 Yeah, I'm more sad to hear that my girlfriend crashed today in Giro.
00:49 That's a bit more sad than losing 50 seconds to Jonas.
00:53 I know Taddei, he never gives up so it will be a fight all the way to Paris.
00:57 An Australian in yellow today.
01:00 Can he keep it and for how long?
01:02 All I can say to you is he'll give 110%.
01:07 Yellow jersey keeps your wings and I hope he can hold on to it for as long as he can.
01:11 We also have to think about him and try to take the jersey away from him.
01:16 I'll give everything I've got to keep it.
01:18 The Tour is still very long.
01:25 We know the Alps will be a carnage as we can already see that there are some small
01:29 gaps but they are not necessarily a bad thing.
01:32 Bilbao's start was tough, Iares' stage was tough, Jandivas' stage will be tough.
01:35 The Alps will be even tougher.
01:37 The guys who want to be in the break, load your bullets from the beginning.
01:53 Van Aert, James Shaw, Julian Alaphilippe, Niki Hizant, Kokkar is in there, Izaguirre
01:58 is in there, Chris Julliensen.
02:00 We want to be in the front, try to shut down as good as we can, show a strong presence
02:10 as a team and just make sure we stay in control.
02:17 Another fast start with Van Aert and Alaphilippe tugging a group of 20 riders clear and none
02:21 of them posed a threat on GC.
02:23 Van der Poel, Kwiatkowski, Trentin and Paulus were in there but others missed their shots.
02:47 Asgrain leading the break at the Col d'Aspen where no major damage was done.
02:51 At the summit, Paulus reclaimed his polka dot jersey.
02:54 Borja Hansgrohe continuing to pace the peloton as the lead group gradually thinned out.
03:02 The peloton is going to go over the top of the Col d'Aspen and the gap is going to be
03:06 three minutes and twenty as we crest 1490 metres above sea level.
03:18 Last five kilometres of the Tourmalet.
03:21 It's going to be a big crowd on the top of the Col de Tourmalet today.
03:25 And now Van der Poel looks like he might just be having one of those horrible moments on
03:30 this mountain.
03:39 Game over and Alaphilippe is going backwards.
03:45 The yellow jersey has made the acceleration.
03:51 The yellow jersey now is going.
03:53 Jai Hindley with four kilometres to go to the top of the mountain is having a moment
03:58 of difficulty.
04:07 This is the attack.
04:09 Kuss swings across.
04:10 Jonas Vengegaard is going to go.
04:13 48 kilometres from the finish line and try and put Tadej Bagacar out of this Tour de
04:18 France.
04:24 And Johannesson is going to look for some points.
04:26 Guerrero gives him a little bit of a shove.
04:29 Guerrero actually is looking for the king of the mountains jersey today.
04:32 Oh, he gives him another shove.
04:33 Oh, another shove.
04:34 And Johannesson is like, hang on a minute.
04:37 On to the descent now and Van Aerts, he can now wait for Vengegaard and bring him to the
04:42 front of the race.
04:46 Now Vengegaard doesn't have to chase on his own.
04:49 Wow, Van Aerts clocks on for his second shift of the day.
04:56 This is the descent of the yellow jersey as he desperately tries to rescue this.
05:01 Doesn't look like he's enjoying this at all today.
05:13 Unfortunately, we're doing drop for Bagacar, but for sure he's on his knees.
05:21 Still possible on the last lap.
05:30 And the junction is made.
05:31 Eight riders together in the lead.
05:34 Van Aert, Vengegaard, Bagacar and Paulus catching Kwiatkowski, Johannesson, Guerrero and Schur
05:40 up at the front.
05:41 The last climb was a long one with some particularly steep gradients in the final five kilometers.
05:51 Sixteen kilometers to go.
05:53 5.4% average.
05:55 Ramps of 11%.
05:56 Kortrijk-Cambasch.
06:00 The pace is again too much for Nielsen-Paulus.
06:05 He's just losing that meter or two every now and then.
06:08 He just cannot stay in the wheels.
06:11 There we go, there's the attack.
06:18 This is the move.
06:19 Jonas Vengegaard jumps and Bagacar this time reacts and just sits and squeezes on the pedals
06:26 as well.
06:27 Van Aert comes to an absolute standstill.
06:30 Day over, day finished.
06:32 But this time Bagacar has the answer to the acceleration of the defending champion of
06:38 the Tour de France.
06:41 Bagacar checks.
06:42 Is he going to attack?
06:47 Three kilometers to go.
06:49 And here's the attack.
06:55 Bagacar rips it now up this mountain.
06:58 The white jersey has decided, right yesterday you put me on the ropes.
07:04 Today I'm going to absolutely blitz it up this mountain.
07:08 Bagacar opens up the gap now on Vengegaard.
07:12 Day one yesterday Vengegaard had it.
07:15 Now Bagacar puts in a big blow to the hopes of the defending champion.
07:22 Look at the speed of Tadej Bagacar on this mountain now.
07:29 Right in front of you, he's right in front of you.
07:34 Bagacar has dealt a massive blow to the thoughts of Vengegaard just cruising to victory.
07:40 100 meters to go.
07:43 Yesterday this rider looked like he was a beaten man.
07:47 A resurgent Tadej Bagacar has put a blow to the hopes of Vengegaard.
07:54 Stage six, take a bow.
07:58 Vengegaard now, what is the time gap going to be?
08:01 Between them this morning it was 53 seconds in the general classification.
08:06 Vengegaard gets out of the saddle.
08:07 He wants the yellow jersey.
08:09 The 10 second time bonus already for Bagacar.
08:13 But he's going to cross the line.
08:15 He's going to be in yellow.
08:16 But it's going to be a much, much smaller gap than he anticipated.
08:21 Honestly, were you a little bit worried after losing close to a minute yesterday on Jonas?
08:28 Yeah, who wouldn't be?
08:36 I was thinking when they start pulling on Tourmalet, if it's going to happen like yesterday,
08:42 then we can pack our bags and go home.
08:49 We wanted to try to test him again today and see how he felt.
08:55 I suppose he felt better than yesterday.
09:01 I feel a little bit relieved.
09:04 I feel much better now.
09:08 It's always nice to be back in yellow.
09:13 Of course I hope to take the stage win today, but in the end, Taddei was really strong and
09:18 he deserved to win.
09:32 It's going to be a big, big battle until the last stage, I think.
09:39 Bagacar is up to 15 wins this season, having beaten Wengergaard by 24 seconds.
09:44 Johannesson was the best of the rest, as Hindley lost 2 minutes 39.
09:52 Wengergaard goes into yellow, but the gap to Bagacar is now just 25 seconds.
09:57 Hindley is indeed the third man at 1 minute 34.
10:08 The fast men all survived the Pyrenees and Jasper Philipsen remains in green.
10:12 Kocka has cut the Belgian's lead to 46 points before two sprint days.
10:18 Paulus is back in polka dots.
10:19 The American leads Galen Johannesson, the first ever Norwegian to crest the Tourmalet
10:23 and the lead on the Tour's 86th visit.
10:47 to the Tour.
