00:08 Now the attack of Pogacar!
00:10 On his wheel goes Jonas Vengergaard.
00:13 The gap is now nine.
00:16 It was a victory in a battle for yellow a little bit.
00:23 This stage doesn't suit me at all, so to be honest I'm actually quite happy
00:28 that I kept it within that.
00:30 In the end we were happy, we liked the way it went.
00:33 Pogacar has a huge kick.
00:36 In those kind of finishes there's only one guy in the world that can do that.
00:40 Keep it, keep it, keep it!
00:43 We have a lot of riders with today.
00:47 On a stage like yesterday, pretty short, it doesn't make sense to burn unnecessary energy.
00:54 Next few days coming up will be really important, so every bit you can save is really good.
00:58 Finally we executed like we want to.
01:02 Till now we follow our plan.
01:04 The most important thing is that I feel good.
01:07 Today might be a secret, but what is the strategy, what is the team strategy today?
01:12 Survive.
01:15 The next day.
01:17 The next day.
01:20 The next day.
01:22 The next day.
01:25 The next day.
01:28 The next day.
01:32 The start of the stage at 1.23pm.
01:36 The peloton has stopped for now.
01:39 A big crash in the peloton.
01:44 There's a big crash in the peloton now.
01:47 A number of riders have hit the deck.
01:48 Vengagard is held up but is on his feet.
01:51 Hello, hello, please stop the race.
01:54 There's suddenly a lot of riders down.
01:57 I don't know what happened there, but that was a big crash.
02:01 It's now 1.35pm and this race is underway.
02:07 Chris Nieland with Lars Vandenberg and Julian Alaphilippe.
02:14 These are the three riders who are attacking on the first climb of the day.
02:17 Alaphilippe sparking the day's move after a host of attacks
02:21 and opening up a small gap with Vandenberg and Nielands.
02:24 They would eventually be joined by 18 other riders,
02:27 including Mata, Landa and Pino, the highest placed on GC at just over nine minutes.
02:33 There were plenty of strong climbers in there.
02:37 Ciccone, Woods, Martinez and Johannesson,
02:39 while Paulus was out to defend his polka dot jersey.
02:43 But the American wouldn't have it all his own way.
02:45 Ciccone goes on the left hand side,
02:50 sprinting as though it's the end of a race.
02:53 Over the top of the climb, Ciccone takes the points.
02:56 However, the break never got the green light from Jumbo Visma,
03:00 who were setting a furious pace in the peloton.
03:03 By the penultimate climb, the 11 remaining leaders only had around 30 seconds in hand.
03:11 "The head is at the foot of the ramage hill."
03:13 "When does Vengagard decide to up this pace?"
03:17 "32 seconds. There's our leaders, there's the chasers, all spread out on the hillside."
03:24 "The Jumbo Visma train is going to go swarming past."
03:30 "Everybody's going to look for wheels now. It's an incredible pace."
03:35 "Juju, Ciccone and then the peloton."
03:40 "The race is all together with 57.9km to go."
03:45 "Jumbo Visma, today, the message is stick to the plan."
04:04 Adam Yates, the first yellow jersey of this Tour de France, and still 5th overall.
04:09 You're right, Nico, just keep him in the game, as now UAE starts to take control of this race.
04:17 For the first time today, Raphaël Maiker starts to make his move.
04:21 "Valarte, distance yourself. Valarte, distance yourself from the yellow jersey."
04:31 "Raphaël Maiker, distance yourself from the yellow jersey."
04:37 What is Pogacar's plan today?
04:40 No shades on, total focus, eyes burning a hole in the back of Jonas Vengagard.
04:49 "Oh, that's not good news."
04:52 "Shakes his head."
04:54 Pogacar looked at Adam Yates, gave him a nod and said, "Right, let's now take the initiative."
05:00 "Jus, Rodríguez, distance yourself from the yellow jersey."
05:04 "Three."
05:06 Here's the attack of Pogacar. Yates has done his work.
05:10 Vengagard's head goes left, goes right, and he can't follow.
05:16 Pogacar now goes racing round the next turn. This is the move of the Tour de France.
05:21 Pogacar is trying to deal the blow that delivers the yellow jersey.
05:26 Vengagard still can see the number 11 in front of him.
05:31 The fans are going absolutely crazy on the Col de Joux plan.
05:35 Look at the way that Vengagard is fighting as he's going to come all the way back to the wheel.
05:41 The resurgence of Jonas Vengagard.
05:45 "A little down the road again."
05:46 Here goes Pogacar now. Big attack. Never has a bonus for him.
05:56 It's so important. These motorbikes need to get out of the way.
06:00 Vengagard attacks. He goes for the top of the climb. Pogacar is trying to get on terms.
06:10 He hits the top of the Col de Joux plan. Eight seconds, five and two.
06:14 Counterattack. Pogacar now goes. He makes a move. Vengagard immediately onto the wheel.
06:20 And there. Rodriguez goes.
06:23 Rodriguez attacks immediately. Goes to the front. He's got to attack this descent.
06:29 They are locked together.
06:30 "That was a bit wide."
06:32 Attack of Tadic Pogacar behind. Is he going to catch him? No.
06:37 Rodriguez wins his first ever stage of the Tour de France.
06:41 Six seconds goes to Pogacar.
06:44 Pogacar is going to be the first to finish the race.
06:47 Pogacar is going to be the first to finish the race.
06:50 Pogacar is going to be the first to finish the race.
06:54 Rodriguez wins his first ever stage of the Tour de France.
06:56 Six seconds goes to Pogacar. Four seconds goes to Vengagard.
07:01 Being here was a dream.
07:07 Getting a victory is incredible in the best race.
07:10 The world is always something I've always wanted to achieve.
07:17 And I got a victory, so I'm super happy.
07:21 Rodriguez announcing himself on the biggest stage of them all with his first Grand Tour victory.
07:25 He moves onto the overall podium by a single second.
07:28 Adam Yates, Kurs and Galle all in the top ten and gaining places on GC.
07:33 Vengagard gained a single second on Pogacar today thanks to the bonuses on Jupp Lannes.
07:38 They are now separated by ten seconds with Rodriguez at four minutes.
07:42 Vengagard gained a single second on Pogacar today thanks to the bonuses on Jupp Lannes.
07:47 They are now separated by ten seconds with Rodriguez at four minutes and 43.
07:52 No changes in green. Jasper Philipsen still leads by 144 points from Mads Pedersen.
07:58 We do have a new king of the mountains though.
08:03 Vengagard takes the polka dot jersey as well from Paulus having been of a bigger climb so far.
08:09 And Pogacar remains over four minutes clear in the youth classification.
08:16 Obviously that isn't his biggest priority.
08:18 It was not a perfect day but I think we saw a lot today, we learned a lot today and we go really with a positive head and a positive mind into the next stages.
08:34 I think today was a good day. I increased my lead only by one second.
08:42 I'm still in the yellow jersey and I'm enjoying every day I have in it.
