01:20 From over 40 kilometers, stage five into Albi,
01:25 an incredible win.
01:27 After the marathon, 126.1 kilometer ride towards Albi,
01:32 setting off from Honne-le-Chateau
01:34 with a chance of a sprint finish.
01:36 But with some steep little punches,
01:38 could a break take center stage once more?
01:42 Heading further south into the Pyrenees,
01:44 the big news with the withdrawal of European champion and
01:47 speedster Leona Wiebes through illness.
01:51 On the road, 11 riders made an early escape.
01:54 Three minutes and a half built up ahead of the main Jean Lotte
01:58 Capecchi in the peloton.
02:01 Roasting conditions and fatigue made for a grueling day
02:04 in the saddle.
02:05 Former world champion Elisa Balsamo
02:07 in a sizable group a further 36 seconds down the road,
02:11 with over 70 kilometers left to ride.
02:14 Demi Follarin appeared ready for a bike change.
02:17 The SD Works technician performed a lengthier wheel
02:20 switch.
02:21 The GC contender needing to get back in the punch,
02:24 in behind her team car, a move that
02:26 incurred the wrath of the commissioner.
02:29 She's going to take a bottle from the car.
02:32 I don't see why it should be a problem if you're
02:34 using your team car to come back.
02:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:36 [INAUDIBLE] 25 seconds.
02:40 25.
02:42 The first climb of the day, Cote de Najac,
02:45 and more pain in already burning muscles.
02:47 And that saw riders drop, including
02:49 the likes of Mariano Vos.
02:52 Stage four winner Yara Castellain
02:53 focused on the Queen of the Mountain category,
02:56 27-year-old with enough points to retake the Polka Dot jersey.
03:00 Big move on the left hand side.
03:03 Riccardo Bernfeind anticipated the bonus sprint point,
03:06 followed by Claire Steeles of Israel Premier Tech Roland.
03:10 The duo first over the summit to collect six and four seconds
03:13 respectively.
03:15 Ashley Moulle and Pacio winning out
03:17 to gain two seconds in third, with Evliane Lepert and Volleren.
03:22 With 30 kilometers to go, Bernfeind
03:24 deciding to go for broke in a search for a historic victory,
03:28 trying to maintain her output in searing conditions.
03:32 Estee Works now focused on maintaining
03:34 Capecchi's dominance in the points classification,
03:36 second to Vos in 2022.
03:39 Belgian champion this time in pole position,
03:41 crossing ahead of rival Moulle and Pacio.
03:43 Up the road, the canyon shrammed.
03:48 Climber settled in for a time trial pace.
03:51 By the final climb of the day, she
03:53 built a one and a half minute lead on the Maillot-Jean group.
03:57 Estee Works decided to give chase ambitions
04:00 of a second stage win for Capecchi.
04:03 Marlon Reusser taking the lead of the bunch
04:05 with 25 kilometers to go.
04:08 With the European time trial champion in pursuit,
04:11 Bernfeind starting to see her advantage slip.
04:14 Could she resist?
04:16 The rest of the park are seemingly
04:17 favoring the chasers.
04:19 Yet with the chasing pack dropping the pace,
04:22 with four and a half kilometers to make up
04:24 and just a 30 second gap, Reusser attacked out
04:27 of the group with Lepert.
04:29 However, the initial mission to catch the escapee evaporated.
04:35 The pair at a near stop, looking lost as what to do next.
04:39 That left Bernfeind all alone a phenomenal performance
04:43 and a chance to take in the moment
04:44 over the final few meters.
04:46 Her sports director, Magnus Backstedt,
04:53 said, now believe.
04:56 Ride with the same speed.
04:58 Go for the finish line.
05:00 Well, she's done it.
05:01 Riccardo Bernfeind, the 23-year-old German,
05:05 has taken an incredible win solo from over 40 kilometers.
05:10 Stage five into Albi.
05:13 Riccardo Bernfeind.
05:14 Esti works second for the second stage running.
05:21 Lepert did later speak of her pride
05:23 of seeing her young compatriot win the race.
05:26 Capecchi disappointed, but still holding on to yellow.
05:30 [CHEERING]
05:34 Oh my goodness.
05:39 So good.
05:39 OK, take it off.
05:40 Take it off.
05:42 To be honest, I can't believe it.
05:44 It's just incredible.
05:47 Everyone helped me and supported us.
05:50 And yeah, it was just an incredible team ride,
05:53 I would say.
05:54 It's fantastic.
05:56 Yeah.
05:57 Wow.
05:59 The youngest ever stage winner, the Tour de France of X-Swift,
06:03 and a first for Canyon SRAM.
06:05 Bernfeind holding off national champions Reusser and Lepert.
06:08 Capecchi will be in yellow jersey for a fifth day running,
06:15 but otherwise bad news for Esti works.
06:18 Lullman Passio, a big winner.
06:21 She and Elisa Longo Borghini moving into the top three.
06:28 Volleren docked 20 seconds.
06:31 I saw the Dutch GC contender slip from second to seventh,
06:36 12 seconds behind great rival, Annemiek van Vleuten.
06:39 Belgian champion Capecchi increased her healthy sprint
06:48 advantage by three points over Lullman Passio.
06:53 Second place South African will continue in green,
06:58 but with 47 points to make up.
07:00 A stage winner yesterday, back in polka dots today,
07:07 Yara Kastelijn having the time of her life.
07:11 The Fenix de Koenig climber with a four point cushion
07:13 over Dutch compatriot, Anousta Koster.
07:15 Cedrin Cabal continues in the white jersey
07:21 by maintaining her youth GC cushion.
07:24 Ella Wiley of New Zealand within three minutes,
07:28 so it's difficult to see anyone catching the young French rider.
07:32 Bernfoud rewarded for her bravery,
07:39 undisputed combative rider of the day.
07:43 Stage six is for the sprinters apparently,
07:46 but given the Tour de France, Fam Avec Suif,
07:48 who's to say what will happen from Albi to Barnac?
