Hey TDF Fans! Yes the Tour has truly now really begun!!! The first real Mountain stage as we kick off 4 days of climbing. Stage 12 is 180 km long with 3850m climbing in the Pyrenees of France. Generally flat to rolling riders for the first 2/3rd’s of the route the back end is loaded with climbing. The peloton takes on the Category 1 Col du Soulor, Cat 2 Col du Borderes and the finally the legendary assault up the HC Hautacam. This is definitely Bang Bang time riders. Prepare for mayhem in the general classification. There are also valuable King of the Mountain points available today, expect teams to be out on the attack to get these points towards the polka dot jersey.

🏁 Tour de France 2025 – Stage 11 Preview**
📍 *Toulouse → Toulouse*
📅 *Wednesday, July 16, 2025*
📏 *156.8 km | 1,750 m elevation gain*

🔍 Route Overview**
A flat-ish loop with some sting in the tail. Three short climbs in the second half could break up the field:
* Côte de Castelnau-d’Estrétefonds (1.4 km @ 6%)
* Côte de Vieille‑Toulouse (1.3 km @ 6.8%)
* Côte de Pech David (0.8 km @ 12.4%) — *cresting just 8.8 km from the finish!*

Finale: flat but technical, ending on Boulevard Lascrosses in Toulouse.

⚔️ Key Tactical Points**
* Last sprinter-friendly stage before the Pyrenees.
* Pech David climb could eliminate pure sprinters.
* Potential for breakaway success if the peloton plays it safe.
* Crosswinds and tight corners may create chaos.

🏆 Riders to Watch**
**Sprinters:**
* Jonathan Milan (Lidl–Trek) – Green jersey leader
* Tim Merlier (Soudal–QuickStep) – Multiple stage wins

Punchers / Opportunists:**
* Wout van Aert
* Mathieu van der Poel
* Jasper Philipsen
* Mads Pedersen

**Breakaway hopefuls:**
* Oier Lazkano
* Stefan Küng
* Matej Mohorič

🎯 What to Watch Out For:
✅ Pech David – decisive climb
✅ Green jersey battle – Milan vs Merlier
✅ Technical finale – positioning is everything
✅ Will a breakaway survive?

**📣 Let me know in the comments: Will a sprinter survive the Pech David climb? Or will a breakaway take the glory in Toulouse?**

Cycling Worlds. Hey guys, it’s uh currently 
5:14 in the morning and the neutralized start has just commenced for stage 12 of the 2025 
Tour to France. Here we go, folks. You know, we’re doing our usual setup here. Again, 
guys, thanks everyone for being here. Uh this is getting better and better every day. I’m 
watching the neutralizer roll out right now. I’ve   got everything set up almost. Just waiting for my 
chat to fire up here. Uh boom. It’s quick today, isn’t it, folks? And hopefully we’re going to uh 
avoid any Starlink disruptions today. Uh it is pouring outside and uh this is that time of day 
when uh my Starlink likes to do resets. I think we’re just past that time now. Put a poll at the 
top, guys. The poll today, uh awesome that Tony could send me a question yesterday. He goes, “Hey, 
how about this for a poll?” So, it is good to know   what kind of people uh we’ve got here. Uh what 
kind of rider would you be at the tour to France? I’d be probably just Well, I’m not a climber. 
I’m not a sprinter. Depends what you mean by a good cyclist. I’m going to say I’m an 
overall good cyclist. I’ll just be that. Um, close that down there. Okay, guys. So, here we 
go. Stage 12 hotcom. Uh, what’s going to happen today? I’m stuck in uh something here. Just got 
to close that down. Get the chat going here and we’re ready to rock, guys. Everyone’s saying, 
“Let’s rock.” Uh, R. Stanley, Ian Holmes, first ski in here this morning. Great to see you guys. 
Greetings to Oklahoma. Uh, I hope the weather’s great down there, too. Uh, Oklahoma can have some 
nasty, nasty weather this time of year. Steven Cycles here already supporting the Scotsman. 
Uh, Oscar only. Evan, howdy, there are riders. Uh, Evan saying when he was younger, he 
was probably a climber but now a fan. Guys, everyone pile in. Uh, Don saying hand up if 
you’re an only fan. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. Uh, let me guys, you guys are 
way ahead of me today. Uh, here I’ll give a uh here I’m going to put my 
hands up like this. That’s what I’m doing. Hands up. Double hands up. High-fiving. Double tens. 
High high tens. Uh, yep. Stage is flat to start, guys. Oh, I’m sorry. We’re sitting 
on that screen as normal, usual. Uh,   too busy reading the chat there on the wrong 
screen. Yeah. So, I’ll have the chat over here. Have the chat over here. Okay, we’re looking what 
we need to see. Okay, guys. After Okay, things look not too bad here right now. after stage 11. 
Let’s have a little boo. Ben Healey in the lead, 29 seconds over Tatty Baggachar. Guys, let’s have 
some uh chitchat about the crash yesterday. Uh the worst thing I read today was that Uno X rider 
that was involved in the incident. Uh has been has been receiving tons of threats online. Uh all 
because he said, “Yeah, I’m sorry it happened.” Blah blah blah yada yada yada the usual stuff. 
So, people are saying that he’s admitting it was his fault and how dare they do that to to 
Tatty Pagashar. Um, yeah, not cool at all. Uh, it’s a racing incident. Things happen. Uh, if 
you look at the replay on it, there was a huge attack going up the right hand side in the gutter. 
Every other cyclist started moving to the right. Tatty for some reason at four kilometers from 
the finish had his hands off his handlebar doing   something. No one knows whether he was taking a 
drink adjusting his radio at that point. Uh and he was actually the only reason his wheel got hit 
his is because he was probably like half wheeling quarter wheeling the guy ahead of him. That guy 
went to the right down. Now people will say, “Oh, he did uh what do he call it? Uh he went off his 
racing line.” Yeah, that doesn’t matter there. That doesn’t matter at all. So, riders have 
to be super aware. Obviously, you don’t want   to see anyone get hurt, but to blame someone when 
you’re doing a dangerous sport, I think is kind of it’s kind of weird to me. Just my opinion. Um, 
okay guys, going to jump back here. Uh, still under four kilometers to the start line, guys. Any 
predictions for today’s guys? What do you think? Uh, John Chad is here. Where’s the TT special on? 
Yeah, sorry John. I forgot to put that one in. Uh Don saying instead of saying cheese, they used to 
say Oscar to get him to smile. Uh yeah, lots of Only fans here. Uh and he was part of that tack in 
the gutter. I think it was Kevin Bakalon yesterday and Oscar only were racing down the gutter. Tatty 
was way on the left hand side of the road doing something. Uh I know on TV they on my feed they 
said, “Oh, we’ve got a massive crash.” and they are not going to wait for him. And I’m like, I 
posted yesterday in the Discord. I’m like, are you watching the same race I’m watching? It was a 
solo rider crash. One rider crash. It was fairly high speed. Uh, looking back at it, let’s just be 
honest about it. Uh, it took me a few seconds to go, oh yeah, they’re waiting for him. So, I’m 
not sure what they were looking at, but uh,   this is kind of why I do this. Just want to give 
you my angle on it. stages flat for the first half before we start climbing. Yeah, it looks like uh 
if I look at over here, I’d say it’s probably more than half even. Don, let me jump out of this for 
a second. Still following the initialized start here. Uh okay, so it’s the solure is 134 km into 
the stage. We got 180 km stage, I believe. 180.6 km uh with 3,800 meters of climbing. the first 
real climb of the day. I guess you know we hit the four the category four we hit at 91 kilometers 
which would be halfway. Then we got a sprint point right after that. Uh yeah, Bingham, you need to 
get into that sprint. You need to get into that sprint and win it. Maybe Jonathan will hold back a 
little bit today and uh because he’ll be afraid of those mountains coming up. Class one category one, 
sorry. uh culdeorre cate category two culus border uh we descend with a little bump in between and 
then we’re off to the autocom so it’s going to be insane today guys let’s get into it so here is our 
standings at the moment top three tatty Ben Healey Tatty and Remco Veniple Vingo Matteo Jorgensson 
Kevin Valon still in sixth Oscar only just lurking in seventh Then we’ve got this big schmazzle of 
riders here. Leapowitz Rogick. Hey man, Roick’s still upright, guys. I know it’s a running joke 
with him. He’s just had some bad luck. Uh he’s   still lethal on the bike. Uh him and his teammate 
are sitting in eighth and ninth quietly lurking. Uh I thought about it to myself this morning. 
Okay, maybe he’s not the top cyclist anymore, but he’s probably the best athlete here. 
Might be the best athlete. Let’s put a pair of   um uh skis on Tatty and see how his ski 
jumping ability is. Why don’t we try that out, folks? Uh yeah, just kind of I lot of armchairing. 
Uh I think Roger is still probably really good cyclist. Um D. Uh okay, Swoosh Kids here. 
You know who has not been helping. Blastoff, go for a break. Yeah. Uh guys, I don’t think UAE 
is as strong as I first thought anyways going into this. Almeida was probably the lynch pin of 
that team for Tatty. Mark Solair, he’s good, but he’s not. Simon Yates’s good right now. Like 
Mark Solair, I don’t think could go away and win this stage. Simon Yates could. Uh Sept Cous, we’re 
not really sure where he’s at right now. Uh maybe he’s just conserving all his energy to really 
help on the big climbs. Uh let’s bounce over here, guys. Let’s do the uh the profile here. 
Still in the neutralized star for me here, guys. We’ll take a look at the profile. 
Uh let’s zoom in on the stage first. So, here we go. O to hoticcom. We start in 
the southwest of France uh in the farmlands, flat for at least the first 90k 
anyways before our first climb,   which will probably be right at the foothills 
there. And you can see the Pyrenees lurking in the distance. Here we go. We enter the Pyrenees 
themselves. The mountain range that divides France and Spain there. Uh Andor’s wedge in the middle. 
There’s the Salor category one. Cold as Border category 2. We do drop down and do a little 
mini climb on the drop down into the valley   system. Then we climb up to the Otto. Uh over 
I think it’s 1,025 m climbing uh up the Otto. There’s uh I think one of the most uh iconic 
stages here is when Lance attacked way back when. Let’s jump out of there, guys, and we’ll 
take a look at the route again here. Guys, so we’re out for supper last night. Uh got 
home 9:00. Joey passed out. She decided to   drink a bottle of red wine uh when we were 
out and yeah, she was like falling asleep on the way home in the car. Italian supper 
at a very Italian place. Uh it’s kind of a weird place. We go to it all the time. It’s in 
a little town called Erdri, north of Calgary.   You’re basically in an industrial part of 
Erdri and there’s this little Italian place upstairs at the back. Very Italian. Meals take 
forever. Uh but yeah, we had a good time. So, happy birthday to Joey and we’ll be doing this one 
more time on the weekend. So, here’s the profile, guys. Category 4. We started in a however you 
say this um category 4 sprint point cat one cat 2 HC Warriors come out and play folks. Uh I’ve 
kind of got a feeling Simon Yates is kind of on fire. He’s 22nd overall right now. See we 
should be Yeah, still not at the neutralized start. It’s about to go off right now, I think. 
Yeah, it’s just started actually. We’re 300   meters in right now. Little false flatty here. 1% 
gradient. Let me get back to the chat here, guys. Um, Don, I think Navarez, uh, I think that’s 
Jonathan with UI is going to be the one who makes a difference today and following stages. Yeah, 
he’s kind of just been very quiet at the tour as well. Let’s take a look at who you’re talking 
about here. UAE, here’s their team. Obviously, we got Tatty. We lost Almeida. Very I mean, he had 
a hard crash when he went down. Uh, right here, Jonathan Narvz. God, I have a hard time saying 
that one. Narvz, I know I’m saying it wrong every time. Uh, Neil Pollock will be sitting on 
the front. He’ll fall away in the mountains. Tim   Wellins will follow in the mountains. Civikov, I 
don’t know. He hasn’t done much this tour either. He’s just lurking right now, which is probably 
a good thing. Um, Adam Yates is not on form for the tour. At least he hasn’t shown it yet. Mark 
Solair is a really good climber, but I don’t think he’s the kind of climber that’s going to go on a 
breakaway. They’re not going to even allow him to   go. Tatty wants him nearby as long as he can get 
him, I think. Uh, however, the other Yates brother over on Vizma uh is absolutely on fire right 
now. Stage 20 winner of the JRO attacked, went for the win. uh showed he’s got climbing ability 
just a couple days ago. He’s 22nd place overall, over 20 minutes behind. If he attacks today, 
but I don’t think UAE will even look at him. He’s going to go way up the road and then I think 
it’s going to be Let’s see how the stage develops. Uh I do want to get on to the live 
stuff here, guys. Let’s get live. Yeah, this one’s probably going to be a 
little bit more of a slower start today,   so we can get really warmed 
up for this. Have your coffee. Grant Thomas sitting on the front right 
now. Here he’s having a little chat with   looks like a UAE rider, I believe. 
Going to get into the chat here, guys. Going to be a slow warm-up today. Uh the 
numbers are already creeping upwards. Um okay, we will see who rises to top for the hoticcom. 
Steven Cycles never errors. Jonathan, I’m just gonna say Jonathan. Uh I notice how they say 
that. Isn’t a good enough a climber. Yeah,   I think he’s a good climber, but he’s not a 
Simon Yates type climber right now. Anyone remember Mr. 60% on the hotcom in 96? Uh, is that 
Beje? Would that be Bernie Ree? I think Robert, is that who you’re referring to? Civikov 
was ill. That’s true. Civikov was ill. So hopefully he’s got over that. Actually, I 
did see them do an interview with him. Uh,   Civicod had a touch of bronchitis the 
first week. His antibiotics have kicked in, so he’s at 100% of health. Yeah, I think I saw 
that same interview yesterday. Uh, I was just on antibiotics and I don’t know how they can ride 200 
kilometers a day on antibiotics. It’s, you know, you’re so fatigued being on antibiotics. Now, when 
the flag dropped, there were attacks immediately. Uh, and it looks like Uno X rider off the rip. 
It was a Yuno X rider on the very front at the very start. Remember, this is slightly delayed, 
guys. Um, so obviously nothing’s gotten away yet. I’m just catching up here now. Uh, just showing 
a replay here. Bingham is riding solo. Actually, Bingham’s on the front. By Germay, it’s not 
showing it here. Let’s go into the feed itself and see if they they’re seeing. Uh, yep. Jonas 
Abrahamson from yesterday sets off at kilometer zero and he’s rapidly reeled in by Jonathan 
Milan and Bingham. So Bingham and Jonathan are going to fight over these uh early jersey 
points today, green jersey uh points at around   kilometer 90 something. Actually that point 
there will be okay I need to close that. Yeah, tip of the spear right now. It is on at the 
front. Groupama FDJ Israel Premier Tech. Hey guys, and I just want to say something here too. Uh, 
condolences to the family of the young cyclist   that uh, unfortunately passed away yesterday at 
a race. I think I was going to watch that race, too. It was on YouTube, I believe. Uh, I think his 
name was Samueli, I think. Something I don’t have the Privetary, something like that. Uh he was on 
a JCO feeder team and uh yeah, unfortunately a big crash. Sorry, no, not a big crash. Uh I think 
he had a heart attack on the stage. So that’s why they they actually I think uh I think Vizma’s 
wearing armbands today, black armbands. We’ll get   a look at that here pretty quick. Uh and they 
had a minute silence at the beginning, too. Okay. Oh, someone else’s birthday today. Uh, 
happy birthday to the Belgian uh, Van Epfelt, guys. It’s going to be like this 
at the beginning for a while. Yeah,   lots of attacks off the front. It’s incredible 
seeing Jonathan Milan go on the attack. Looks like Brian Kakard is with them and Bingham. 
Are these guys going to go on a breakaway to   get the green jersey points? These are going 
to be the last points they’re really going to collect for a little while that they’re 
probably going to compete for. any of the   other stages later that have sprint points. 
It might be so far into the stage the climbers are going to get them. Tatty will be probably 
get the green jersey back. It’s possible. Um, Intermar is desperate need of some stage 
actually. Oh, definitely Dawn. Definitely. So, yeah, crazy here seeing this. Yeah, Inamar needs 
a win desperately. Uno X has already made their tour. Really cool to see that guy yesterday. Uh, 
I said during the stream yesterday that Machu Vanderpool is my favorite cyclist. I was so much 
cheering for that Unoax rider only because they’ve never won a stage at the Tour to France. Uh, he 
did it. And guys, even better, there’s a dude um, he was in the chat the first couple days. He 
was called Over the Top Blues. Special shout out to him. North Side Coffee, folks. Uh, he sent me 
a bunch of videos. Oh, I’m seeing an attack by a gashagard off the front. Is that who that is? 
uh Total Energy Rider. So, he sent me he was at the finish line yesterday. He mentioned it before. 
Hey man, I’m going to be a stage. I’m like, dude,   send me some pictures. So, he sent me a bunch of 
video through Instagram. The problem is I can’t download it. So, I asked the girls yesterday 
cuz they’re Instagram people. I said, “How do I?” They said, “Well, you can’t. It has to be 
like emailed to me probably or in Messenger.” So, uh I think his name is Lyall. Ly, if you’re 
listening, I know he was going to Paris today.   Uh we had a big convo yesterday. He runs a he’s a 
coffee roaster in North Central British Columbia. And guys, I had to look it up where he lived. 
It’s kind of the middle of nowhere. Uh country   everywhere where he lives. I’m not going to say 
where he lives. Uh he is a coffee roaster. His coffee company is called North Side Coffees and he 
has a pottery shop uh I guess for doing ceramics and things like that. He’s off the main highway. 
That main highway is not really a main highway. And once you get off that highway, he’s on a lake. 
And after that, the mountains are right there. I’m   talking like the mountains that Sasquatch hangs 
out in. Those types of mountains, the scary mountains where there’s no one out there. There’s 
no roads out there. There’s nothing out there. Uh probably a place where you can get hours away 
from any human beings in every direction. It’s the mountains that are like kind of like right along 
uh the coast, the Pacific coast there. Uh so we had a fun chitchat. So he had footage yesterday 
right from the finish. I would say he was maybe five yards after the finish line on the left 
hand side of the road. He got all the glorious action of that uh crazed fan being taken down by 
uh the security dude who I wished was Bernardi No at the time because he had the same Bernardino 
look. uh jeans, uh probably cowboy boots, and uh a nice white press shirt every day. That’s 
the Bernardino look. Seeing attacks by Vizma off the front right now, too. One Vizma right up 
there. That’s probably Camping Arts, I believe. Uh probably wearing the different helmet today. 
It looks quite hot out. It’s 32 degrees already, riders, and they are just starting out today. 
Um I’ve lost my chat here. Okay, here we go. Don saying, “These mountains are beautiful 
but treacherous.” Absolutely. Hopefully Tatty   isn’t too banged up. We will know more 
tomorrow. Don, bingo, bango right there, dude. You called it. Today, if he’s feeling 
rough, he’s probably telling himself, “Yeah, I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m okay.” Tomorrow is when 
it really sets in. It’s when it really sets in. Uh it’s I always tell people, “Ooh, like someone 
gets hurt, I’m like, “No, just wait till tomorrow.   Wait till the next day.” Uh he did take a lot of 
it on his hip. He did get his foot down. He was able to uncip. So for those of you that missed 
it, uh Israel Premier Techch Alexi Lutenko going off the front right now. Slightly delayed, guys. 
Um here they are at I’m just checking to see what my delay is right now. Yeah, that’s about that’s 
a few kilometers back. So I’m going to have to   catch up here. Premier Tech off the front. So 
we are seeing the riders here now. And yeah, there he is. Alexi Latenko, Ankhorn. Um, we’ve 
watched this rider before as well, Delatry. I think he was in one of the breakaways a few days 
ago. And Marco Holler here for Tudor. He’s been   trying a lot to get into the breakaways. 
Nothing’s really succeeded for him yet. Uh, guys, something else I want 
to talk about. So, yeah. Anyways,   multiple things going in the mind. He sent me 
a bunch of videos. He’s at the finish line. It shows the Uno X rider just coming ahead 
of the uh the JCO rider Moral Schmidt. You could see Matthew Vanderpool coming as well. Uh 
you could see uh the dude get taken down. I saw later videos where basically the security dude 
manhandled that fan, threw him over the barriers, and I think he was throwing punches at 
him on the other side of the barriers. Uh   just super dangerous to get in there at that 
point. So, yeah, don’t be doing that, folks. Let’s jump here back to the profile. This is where 
we’re heading today, folks. I’m just checking a couple things here, guys, for you. Uh, okay. Not 
too glary. That’s okay. I’ll go with that, guys. Going to start heating up here pretty quick. Going 
to start heating up real quick. Stage 12 Tour to   France 2025, guys. Okay, this is hilarious. On the 
side of the road, they got a guy on a dirt bike uh pulling another dude on a dirt bike. He 
is actually water skiing on the beaten down uh wheat fields that they’ve already combined. So, 
it’s all just the stubble. He’s got water skis on being pulled on the ground on this. It would be 
pretty slippery. So, was a small break. Looks like it’s all been pulled back. Uh looking at this 
replay here, if there was four of them trying to   go up the road, Sudal, Tudor, Total Energies, 
and Israel Premate teams looking for results, they’re all looking at UnoX yesterday and going, 
“Wow, that could have been us. That could have   been us.” The guy that won two, Yonis Abrahamson, 
he’s the rider, I know we talked about it in our Discord a while ago. He’s the rider that actually 
put on weight last year. And I think someone said he put on 20 kilos. I’m like, did he really put on 
20 kilo 20 pounds? Maybe, maybe 10, I don’t know. But he put on a significant amount of weight 
and he said, I only got better as a rider. So, he went from being too skinny, too skeleton, 
zero power, put on some weight. Now, he’s winning stages at the Tour to France. Uh, okay guys, just 
going to try to keep catch up here again. Guys, keep the chat coming. I love it. Got just under 
100 people watching now. Robert here. Shorten stage in 96. Barney Reese with his thick EPO 
blood. Oh, I love that stuff. Known as Mr. 60%. He rolled down the lead pack, eyeballing his rivals 
before launching a blistering winning attack. You know, Robert, I just went through a lot of that 
stuff in that audio book I’m listening to. Yeah,   the EPO back then, guys taking so much EPO, their 
blood was getting so thick, their hematocrit was so high. Uh 50% was the cut off. They said your 
average normal male it should be like 40%. Uh and it should decrease during the tour. It’s uh 
what do they call it? Uh exercise anemia I think is what they call it. They said at a grand tour it 
should go down one to two points for every week of stage racing. You’re just wearing your body down. 
So hematocrit is a blood volume indicator of red uh blood cells which is going to be all the 
hemoglobin and all stuff to carry oxygen. So, after that little breakaway was caught, it 
looks like we got more attacks here. We got a Oh,   it’s Grant Thomas is sitting on the front here 
again, guys. A bit delayed, but Inos trying to get to the front here. Uh, remember, we do have Carlos 
Rodriguez. Oh, and Jacob going. That might be Ben Oconor going. That body style that looks like it’s 
Ben Oconor trying to get off the front. Going to see if that actually evolves to anything here. 
We’ll take a look down below. Yeah, here it is,   guys. The battle goes on a long time. Gurant 
Thomas, Ben Oconor called it. Michael Store, Tutor Store a few days ago was in in the action. 
So, it’s going to keep evolving like this the whole uh probably first hour of the stage, keeping 
the speeds incredibly high. Nice to see Ben Oconor at the front. You can really tell who he is from 
a distance. Tall, lanky dude. Lot of teams. This could be an opportunity to exploit. the big teams 
will be eyeballing each other. Uh I’m part of it too. So, you know, um lot of armchair, you know, 
predictions. And I I said in our Discord this morning, I was hoping I was explaining myself 
good. Um all these plans, it’s that saying, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the 
face. So, Vizma has a plan. Okay, what we’re going   to do, this is my idea. We’re going to send Simon 
Yates up the road or Seuss up the road. They’re so far behind. UAE won’t even react. Then we’re going 
to use the rest of the team to grind Tatty down. But it all depends what the other teams do, too. 
Other teams might chase Yates. Uh Yates may not be feeling good today. And again, I keep going back 
to it. They’re not robots. They’re not perfect. Uh and I’ve said this before, too. Tatty’s been 
very lucky. He’s never had a serious crash. um you know his crash yesterday it’s like people are 
ready to kill the other guy uh because there was a racing incident and so let’s see how Tatty reacts 
to just a normal racing incident not potentially a life-threatening crash that other riders get 
involved in. Okay. Uh yeah the thick EPO guys the EPO back in the days they used to I read some 
stuff about it yesterday. Okay. Okay, I’m going   to read the team radio. Good guys, just be smart. 
Float around. Watch what’s going on. Okay, a lot of teams interested. Yeah. So, front end could 
be kind of scary. And they are absolutely flying right now. Average speed right now, guys, I’m 
looking at it over here. 53.8 kilometers an hour, racing at in 90 Fahrenheit degree weather. That’s 
32 degrees C. Insane. I’d be wiped out already. I would be wiped off. They’ve only climbed 200 
mters here or 3,861. So yeah, I had some really good videos uh from uh Lyall uh North Side Coffee. 
He roasted himself. Has all different brands. I’ll probably order some myself. I think he I think 
he does his stuff through Instagram. So maybe if   he can reach out again with the videos, I can 
try to show them. They were really good ones, too. Crowds were screaming. Uh I love the taked 
down of that crazed fan. Yeah. So, flying through the wheat fields here. Again, all this stuff’s 
combined. We haven’t even started combining here   yet in Canada. Not where I live. Uh, guys. So, 
here’s another thing I want to mention today, too. Let’s just do this now. I’m hoping I can do this, 
guys. I’m doing this live on the fly. Before that, Scotty Max back. Hey, Scotty. Good to see you, 
dude. Denver’s back in the house. Uh, buddy, good morning. Uh, same thing to you, dude. Thanks for 
all your support. Uh, we were just talking about Denver last night when we went for dinner with 
the girls talking about the Metallica concert. Uh,   yep, there is a Vizma rider on the front trying. 
It’s Victor Camponarts, the juggernaut himself. This guy is willing to just sacrifice himself. 
Israel primary tech chasing right now. Keeping the pace at the front exceptionally high right 
now. Let’s see how strong Tatty’s team is. Let’s see how much that left hip, left shoulder of his 
hurts. Uh, you know, they’re saying afterwards, “Oh, he’s fine. He’s fine.” But of of course 
you’re going to say that. Of course you’re going   to say that. He’s telling himself he’s fine. That 
that was adrenaline that got him off the ground. He was pretty lucky that that Shimano neutralized 
me uh mechanic was there. A lot of guys uh like to rag on those dudes, but there was no one there 
for him. There was no car nearby. I don’t think   he even had any teammates with him when that 
went down. So, where was his team yesterday? Why wasn’t his team there to protect him? Okay 
guys, we do have that break. It is forming now. Uh we’ve got Bman here from Kofidus. Uh this guy’s 
actually placed really high, too. I mentioned him   yesterday. 20th place overall. Time Arenssman, 
guys. This guy here is a good climber. This guy is a good climber. We saw it on stage 10. Uh 
potential dark horse here for today. Potential dark horse. He showed he can climb on all those 
tattoos. Uh Mattea Skeleos 18th overall. He has fallen down a bit. First week he was 10th, fell 
to 15th after stage 10. He’s now in 18th place, so maybe he’s hoping to uh squeak his way back 
up there. Uh he does ride for Leel Trek. So, let’s go, dude. Let’s go. Uh this is kind of 
like their GC guy. They’ve got Quinn Simmons,   team Simmons for stage wins. He’s stage hunting 
the entire tour. And then they got big Johnny Milan for the sprints. Valentine Madawas here 
for Groupama. This guy’s been very active for the team. probably the most active rider I’ve seen 
for this team. Gay Martan in the mix as well for a group. Uh this guy more of a climber. Ben O 
Connor’s there. Oh, Ben did make it. Okay, so Ben’s there too. So we’ve got a nice little break 
here now. Uh I’m sure this is going to be pulled back in no time. This looks pretty dangerous to 
me. Aurelian, Perry, Ponch, uh Harry Sweeney, Velasco, Gashinard, Julian Alib. Uh, this break 
is too big uh for them to let go. I can’t see this going away. Sitting at 18 seconds right now. It 
depends how hard they want to work. Uh, front of the Pelaton. Is this the front of the Pelon here? 
Uh, yeah, the Pelaton is completely strung out. Single file. Brian Kakard driving the front of the 
Pelaton. I wonder what he’s doing here. And then the UAE riders are there. Looks like uh Jonathan’s 
up there. UAE is going to have to control this. I think it’s the kind of tour where all these teams 
know they can put uh UAE under pressure this year. I think uh and they’re all suspecting that Tatty 
may be feeling worse than he’s actually letting on. So yes, uh Scotty Mack, good to see you, dude. 
Love to love to catch up with you when I get back to Denver next. Yeah, Don was saying, “I think the 
security guy was eager to see some action.” Oh, yeah, he was. I when he like the guy ended up back 
over the barriers and it was I don’t think he went there willingly. I think the security guard threw 
him over and I’m positive I saw a punch thrown. Okay. Uh you guys are active here today, 
man. I love the chat. I love the chat, guys. This is what makes this this 
is what makes this for me, guys,   is being involved with you guys doing this. 
We have 47 riders in that front group, guys. 47 riders uh with a 33 second lead right now. 
Insanity. Uh this is going away early. Going away super early. I never would have expected this 
today. Let everyone have your coffee. So all the big guns are going to be back here. We will go 
through that list. Let me just have some coffee. We’re on coffee one and a half right now. Uh yeah, Robertson he stole the riders glory. 
We were all watching the takedown interest   of the sprint. Sad really. Yeah, I thought 
he was going to get involved in the the sprint finish there. Like I thought if he goes 
over to the right hand side of the road a bit,   that’s where they are. Uh did anyone see Thor 
Hoov afterward? Uh he must be director sport for X. That guy looks like he could still be in the 
Pelaton. Love that guy. I think tour was really big like what would have been I know there’s some 
real cycling fans here. Uh I think tour was big like 2000 to 2010 maybe a little maybe early 2000s 
like 3 4 to 2012 somewhere in there I believe. Yeah they were they were water skiing on the 
farmland guys. Dirt bike and another crazy   guy behind him. Wipe out on those uh that wheat 
stocks would tear you right apart. Okay Steven’s got it right here. Okay. So, it is true. Stephen’s 
saying, uh, the guy that won yesterday went from 58 to 80 kilos apparently. So, it was a 20 kilo 
weight gain. That’s 44 lbs. 44 lb. And now he wins a stage at the Tur of France. And why did he 
win? Cuz he was brave and he went on the attack. He was one of the three that went right off the 
flag drop yesterday. Right off the flag drop. Okay, so Lenny Martinez is in that front group, 
Ben O Conor, Scalmoose, we’ve seen those guys. Gideon Martan, Carlos Rodriguez for Inos 
here. Uh I do want to take a look here, guys. I think he’s 13th overall right now. Kind 
of just lurking back there. Stage 11 general. So this is the highest. He’s 12th. He’s 544 
back. And again guys, this group here from 10th uh at 5 minutes, Felix Gal 538, Rodriguez 544, 
Enrik Mass 556, Jagat who’s just this guy is so quiet out there. He’s just always up there. 652. 
Uh G Martan is a further four minutes back. But these six riders here, five riders here, uh, 
that’s going to be interesting over the next few days. All those guys are trying to move 
their way up right now. I do want to take up   this Jordan Jagat guy here for Total Energies. 
Look at him, guys. He’s slowly just creeping his way up. 70th on day one. Just slowly 
working his way up. Even for the time trial, uh, he did pretty well there. 43rd place that 
day. always getting up 11th on stage seven, 13th on stage 11. This guy is hovering right near 
the front. Kind of a sleeper right here. Back to stage 12 here. Uh see if I’ve got anything to 
show you guys. Uh near live. Okay, guys. Let’s take a look at this from yesterday. Um I want 
to make sure that this is all off. You know, I have to play. Oh, and I there’s something else 
I got to get to. This is from yesterday, guys. I’m good. I’m good. This was 
Matu Vanderpool going for the   finish here. Uh UAE was very happy 
that no one uh went on the attack. Uh, I guess, you know, technically I think I’m of 
the point I would probably just go and let him get back on. I’m not going to sit up and wait for him, 
though. I don’t think I would. That was probably with It was an accident. Uh, but he needs to be 
more alert, too. Where were his teammates? Why were they not there with him? I didn’t see any. 
Uh, his teammates didn’t really come back and help him or get to him. The rest of the pelon said, 
“Okay, we’ll let off.” Uh, I thought that was only when you’re in the yellow jersey, basically it 
is about the respect. Um, but if that’s the case, then don’t blame the other guy. Everyone did 
what they should have. Everyone played by the   the traditions, uh, kind of the unwritten rules. 
No one else was attacking. They all slowed down and waited for him. But a lot of people are 
just really not into that other guy right now. Uh Julian Alfleet pulling the breakaway right 
now, guys. Massive split. We’ve already seen that. We’ve seen the massive split here over 
on the side too. We can see that Ben Healey’s   got the yellow jersey, Jonathan Milan the green 
jersey, Martinez in the polka dots, Ben Healey in the white. Also had a really good chitchat too 
yesterday with uh there was a guy a few days ago, riders uh co mountain bike Costa Rica. He does 
cost he does tours down there in Costa Rica. He reached out to me. We had a great chitchat 
yesterday. His name’s Todd. Really cool guy. Um, a few years ago he his first bike race ever 
was the 2018 Rout, you know, whatever it is, Deslos uh, Conquistadors. Uh, you’ll find 
Lance Armstrong talking about that. He did the same one that Lance did in 2018. Uh, it’s a 
three-day mountain bike race across the entire country from the Pacific to the Caribbean side. 
Uh, that’s a race that Lance said that was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done on a 
bike. Uh, so Todd did that. I think he’s   completed it four times now. So, really cool 
background on him. Uh, guys, share me any info you want with me. Reach out to me. Send me some 
messages. Okay. Uh, let’s do this here quickly. Okay. R. Stanley here saying from Oklahoma. 
It appears Privetera suffered a crash on a descent early in the race. He sustained a 
head injury after colliding with a gate. See, I already had had a heart attack. Maybe it 
was related to that. Yeah, exactly. Guys,   cycling is dangerous. Very dangerous. 
Anyone that says it isn’t is just kind of like accidents are bound to happen in this 
sport. Bound to happen. It’s just dangerous. 20k 40 pounds sounds like a lot, but 
he just went from 120 to 160 pounds. Uh swoosh kid here, man. This is a hard question 
for me, dude. He says, “Can we get into the into   the pronunciation of Rogick?” Yeah, I’m I’m like 
Rogick. Roick. I say it wrong every time. I really like that guy. I don’t like kind of the crap he 
gets these days. All he does is crash. All he does is this. Uh, he’s won five grand tours, guys. Um, 
he is getting older. He says he doesn’t care about the tour. He’s just the master of not answering 
the media. Uh, because everyone’s like, “Well, he doesn’t care about the tour. Well, then he should 
just quit now. He’s just he doesn’t want to answer   the media. That’s Yeah, I’m super happy.” And 
then he walks away. That’s what he does, guys. 50 riders in the front group now. Massive breakaway 
here. 1 minute 10 second lead. Uh obviously the GC contenders are just thinking about the the climbs 
coming up. Everyone’s being ultra-conservative   right now I think in that Pelaton. I haven’t seen 
their average speed. Uh front end of the tour. We’re traveling at 54k an hour right now. Average. 
And we’ve got one rider at the back. Burke moors here for lotto out the back. Oo. He’s 121 back 
already. That tells me that’s probably more than just a mechanical. Uh he might have had a little 
touch of wheels there. I’m going to wait to see. uh what the uh tour decides to tell us here. 
That’s my quick guess as to what’s going on   there. Gonna roll through the chat. Uh Vogel’s 
anger here says, “What book you reading?” I am reading. It’s actually an audio book. Uh it’s the 
history of the tour to France. It’s in two parts. It goes just year by year. Uh sometimes it’s a 
little bit just too much reading out numbers, but I I went through the whole McGill enduring part. 
I’m at the BRA re years now. Well, the lance years   have started. Uh there’s two volumes. There’s a 
volume one 1903 to 75 and the second volume is 76 to 2018. So I started with that one. But at the 
very beginning they give an intro of the first, you know, whatever it was 70 years of the tour. 
And it’s fascinating. They just had like a five   minute uh I’m like I got to get back to all that 
stuff like the crazy days of the tour to France. Okay. Uh, I’m going to catch up here and then 
I’m going to show you guys something else. So,   Vogalonga here is a brand new guy. Uh, good 
to see you, dude. Guys, 250 people watching. Where did you guys all come from? How come you 
guys are all watching this? Uh, Blood Meridian   by Cormarmac McCarthy. Okay, so uh Steven’s got 
another book suggestion here. I forget that one. Stephen always that’s what Sorry, Steven Cycles is 
reading that. Okay, I must have missed something there. Dawn used to be 125 pounds, which is 
good for climbing, but I used to get dizzy   all the time if I wasn’t constantly eating well 
on the saddle. I don’t get dizzy at 150. Yeah, Don’s trying to read the looks like the 
autobiography of Jim Thorp, NFL player. Oh, Vogeler. Yeah, dude. Uh, it’s just a history 
of the tour to France. Two volumes. Lot I basically when I’m outside doing all my stuff, I 
have it in constantly. when I’m mowing the grass,   when I’m doing this work, yard work, feeding 
animals, uh yeah, the stuff they used to go through, like they didn’t have an EPO testing 
protocol, I think until 99 the Olympics had it. It was actually maybe it would have been 98 
cuz the Olympics are on even years. Uh and I think they said actually it might have been the 
Sydney Olympics. So maybe that was that 2000, I forget. Uh it was in place for the Olympics, 
but the UCI hadn’t decided to implement it yet. So the cyclist knew that EPO was so abundant 
through all those years. There was no test for it. So and just the things they used to do like 
all the different uh and that’s why I want to   go back in the past. They said one of the first 
doping agents was strick nine. I I have no idea how that helps. No idea how that could help them. 
Okay, here’s the riders at the front. It’s a huge schmuzzle of riders. I still don’t see any talk 
about that uh that rider off the back there. Oh, and it’s just showing that he’s back on. Let’s 
take a look at the live tracking here, guys. You   can see we’re heading our way southwest uh towards 
the mountains. We are seeing only two groups now. Uh as we work our way towards the mountains, 
the southwest here, the Pyrenees, I think the Pyrenees are my favorite mountain range. Category 
4 at 91K. sprint point thereafter. Uh sprinters just throw the parachute out. You know the big 
shoot that comes out after the dragsters come   to a stop here in North America. That’s huge 
over here still. Uh if you’ve never seen it, it’s crazy. 10,000 horsepower motors going 
off. Uh fastest accelerating cars in the world. They’ll be like 0 to 300 miles an hour 
in like 1 second. Uh it’s insane. Things blow up. People just explode everywhere. So this 
will be the solor here. Uh the border airs is the category 2. We do drop down but there 
is a little bump on the way of the drop down uh into this valley system. Valley’s over here 
and this is where we’ll start climbing the hotcom. Uh this will be our finish today folks. 
Now whilst I got you guys here just kind of having a look over here at the stream 
again. I do want to talk about something   here. I’m going to try to do this in the 
background, guys. As we’re doing this, I want to make sure it’s up and running. 
Um, I’ve already got this set up. Routes tour live. This is this one here, isn’t 
it? Uh, let’s see. I hope this is working crazy. So, how do I get them? Oh, this 
is pretty cool. Pretty cool. Here,   guys. You’re going to like this. I hope you 
like this. Head of the course, Carlos Rodriguez. So, can we I’m not sure if 
that’s a huge jump. Ben O Connor. Maybe we’ll go to the Pelaton here. And 
so I’m just trying to wait for this to So guys, what I’ve got loaded in the background 
here that you guys can’t see right now as I’m not   talking anymore and I hate not talking. Uh 
it’s really funny. I was telling the girls, they’re like, “What are you doing on your 
channel?” I said, “Oh, I’m just doing the thing I   was doing before.” Uh I may have to close this one 
down and open up. Looks like I’ve been locked out. We’re going to exit that. Try to relaunch this. So 
guys, over on Bike Terra, I’ve told you guys about   inside cycling apps before. Bike Terra is kind of 
like the newest kit on the block. Right now, they have an event running on Bike Terra. So where you 
can ride your bike inside with a smart trainer. That’s the best way to do this. And it’s the 
full route today. It’s 180.2 km long with all the climbing. Uh, and what they’re they’ve managed to 
do is get the data somehow somewhere from the tour to France of the location of all the pro riders. 
So, there’s actually riders right now. I can see them on here. Uh, Anslo, Lee Zabarice, Matt Gibbs, 
Steven Elliot, and Vouter Clays. I know all those riders. Uh, two of them are developers. Uh, three 
of them are racers I’ve seen before. They’re on course right now. It says they are. I’m not sure 
if they actually entered uh riding along the same course as the uh the pros. Now, how long can they 
hang with the pros? Probably not very long. They can probably skip around. So, what I’m trying 
to do here is get this whole thing loaded up. And I’m trying to catch up 
with the Pelon here. Let’s   uh let’s see how we can do it. Guys, this is 
really really cool. Really, really cool. here. I’m trying to uh head of the course. Let’s 
see. Let’s hope this jumps me to him. Yeah, there it’s going to work. This might be able to 
give you some perspective as what’s going on with the tour to France. This is So, basically, guys, 
I’m in something called spectate mode right now,   and I’m able to hang out with all the cyclists. 
Uh, is that our start point there or is that And guys, I’m learning this right now live, so 
bear with me as I go through all this here. So, flying along right here. Uh, not sure who that’s 
I’m going to see if I can find a different rider. Who do we want to hang out with here? So, guys, 
I’m now spectating Lenny Martinez on the stage. Uh, I wonder if outer Clay is there with him. 
Valentine Matawas, there’s another one. So, okay, just a straight road right now. Okay, 
guys, let’s go through this here. I’m going   to go through the chat again quickly. Uh, I’m 
I’ve got that running in the background. We’re going to see how it develops there. 51 riders 
in the front group, guys. Carlos Rodriguez, best placed, 12th overalls. Uh, and so quietly, 
Gileiam Martan right here, 15th place overall, uh, is in this group. Ben O Connor 17th, Skeleos 18th, 
Bookman 20th. There’s a lot of high ranking riders here. Uh these guys are all hoping that they just 
get let go and they can take off today. Lowest place rider uh to here, Edward to over two hours 
back. Team worker for Liddell Trek Drizzner’s Durbo. Duro’s 155 back right now. Uh just a bunch 
of riders here. They could easily open this up further. It’s two minutes back to the Pelon. 
1 minute 50, actually. And then we’ve got Oo, what’s going on here, guys? What’s going on here? 
We’ve got Yasper Stoven and Matteo Jorgensson out the back. Um, 32 seconds back. They’re back at 
the cars mechanical, something like that. Let’s see what uh I’ve seen nothing here from the tour 
yet. Let’s see what they got to say. See what they got to say over here. Uh, from what I’m seeing in 
the Pelaton, it’s uh, not easy going back there. The Pelaton is completely strung out. Might 
be a little smidge of wind out there, I think, just the way the Pelaton’s kind of like drifting 
across from the left hand side of the road to the   right. Seeing an Alison rider here struggling off 
the back. Yeah. So, no mention here yet of what’s going on. Yeah. Carlos Rodriguez is the main 
GC threat in the breakaway. Uh there’s a few guys up there that are so Carlos is 544 down. 
Then Gue Martan is another five minutes down on that kind of stage though guys if a breakaway 
gets going they could easily gain a ton of time. Uh and I think UAE with Tatty he’s so strong 
uh that he’s willing to let them go because he knows he can make it up in other places. He’ll 
be strong every day. Uh let’s see how he feels. Okay guys, trying to get back to the chat here 
for you. 222 people watching. Thank you so   much guys. Please like the video if you can. It 
gets sproto guys. The videos have been absolute bangers every day. Uh and when I say they’ve been 
bangers, that’s you guys participating in them. That’s people watching them, people liking 
them. I’m just doing my thing here. Um okay, Nory was in the group with Pogy just a bit 
ahead. Okay, this is uh looks like S here.   Looks like a new uh person in the chat. Okay. 
Uh backing up, guys. Backing up. I will try to get back in. Tatty had teammates in each group. 
He caught up to group two, three with Tim Wells   yesterday and made his way back to the lead group 
by the end of stage 11. Yeah, Tatty. There was a group that was racing by once he got back on 
cuz he was struggling with the chain. Obviously,   he was panicked. I get it. Uh that Shimano 
guy came over, gave it a couple of cranks, got the chain on, push, he was gone. And 
there was a group just coming by and then uh and the rest of the guys that went war were 
with him were already slowing down. Oh yeah, Robert really enjoyed Tyler Hamilton’s book, 
The Secret Race. Wonders what he up what he’s   up to these days. Hey Robert, just so you know, I 
love that book too. I actually read that book way back when. Uh go on YouTube. He g he does a lot of 
good presentations talking about the doping era. Uh he’s a really interesting dude. That guy was 
such a good cyclist. Most recently, what he does, he lives in Montana. Uh he did a podcast with a 
local guy based here out of Calgary. Uh it was their podcast together. Um I think Tyler did like 
a bunch of episodes. Was he really a good podcast dude? Not really. I mean, I I really like him. 
He was just He’s very quiet. So, as a podcaster, YouTuber, whatever, you got to talk. You got to 
talk if you want to be good at this. Um Tyler was very quiet. He just recently stepped away. What 
I think he’s doing now, he was doing some gravel   racing, adventure racing. Uh, but when he did step 
away, he says, “Guys, I’ve gone into the financial world. He’s doing I don’t know if he’s doing some 
kind of like insurance, banking, investing. Uh, he’s got he’s got to get a real job now.” So, 
that’s what he’s doing. He does appear as a guest   once in a while. I absolutely forget the name of 
the podcast, but it’s based out of Calgary, like 50 minutes south of me. Uh yeah, that’s a great 
book. The Secret Race. Uh Robert, check out all his YouTube videos. It’s basically The Secret Race 
in video form. Yeah, it’s a really good book. Uh yeah, so History of the Turtle of France 
1 and two. I think it’s put together by a   couple. I think their name are Bill and 
Nancy man. Uh Joey Jojo had a bunch of uh Audible credits. And I said I asked her, 
“How many Audible?” She just pays for it and   she doesn’t listen to audiobooks. Like she 
listen I said, “How many audio credits do you have?” Because they they only stay good for a 
year. And she goes, “I don’t know, probably like,   you know, 50.” I said, “I bet you you have 12.” 
She goes, “Well, how would you know that?” I said, “Because they only are good for one year. So 
every year you get every month you get a new   credit and once you’ve got 12, you lose one 
every month.” So, I just made this wish list of all these books and I’m like, “Send them to 
me. If you’re not going to use it, I will.” Uh, uh, Ben Healey, I’m sure he’s just hanging out 
in that group back there. Yellow jersey back   there. It looks like it’s 155 to the league 
group. 51 riders. That’s a really I mean, guys, almost a third of the entire Pelaton is 
in this group up front. How many riders do we have left in the entire tour right now? General 
ranking stage 11. I think we had 170 yesterday. Let’s see what got left. Could have been some 
withdrawal. We have 172 riders yesterday. Uh today with Virture being the guy that got wiped out in 
stage one uh and has been losing tons of time. So 51 riders up front almost two minutes 
back average speed 52k an hour right now. Uh Don saying here to Hushoff was a strong 
rider. Yeah Don he was s I mean he won the green jersey. Uh there is some footage you can 
find on YouTube of him riding a look TT bike. I have the same bike sitting in my house 
right now. I was going to actually try to   mount it on the wall back here. It is so slick 
and fast. Uh, I think I told you guys earlier, just watching Brian Kard getting 
back into the group. Quick sip here. I need some of that Costa Rican coffee is what 
I need. I can see uh Todd’s commenting here. Um, I have a really slick Cerello. It’s 2019 Servello 
S3 Arrow. Uh, so it’s not the super cool S5 with the handlebars, so who cares? Uh, Di2, all Altegra 
Envy carbon wheels on it. Uh, I think they’re the Envy 3.5s or something so fast. I do the same 
route. I don’t do that route anymore because I don’t go outside anymore. Uh, the first day I 
jumped on the TT bike that didn’t fit me well that I could barely get into the arrow bars because I 
was so nervous to ride it. I rode in the bullhorns the entire way except for a few maybe a minute out 
of the entire ride I was in the bars. I beat my normal route time by over two minutes. just with 
my crappy arrow positioning, which is a million times better than normal positioning. And that is 
probably Oh, it’s probably got to be a 2010 2011 uh look time travel bike. I think it’s a look. 
I don’t know if it’s a 79 something or other. Their numbers change all the time. But yeah, all 
juror ace. The guy built it up, raced it once, and that was it. I’m like, “Thank you. I’ll 
take it.” He was like done with cycling. Uh, getting back to the chat here, guys. Uh, 
so here’s Todd enjoying coffee, sending out follow-ups for work, listening to the race before 
going to pick up one of my bikes for mechanic.   Then it’s time to ride. Hey Todd, great chatting 
with you yesterday. Todd’s a super cool dude. Uh, from the States, moved to Costa Rica years and 
years ago. Uh, living the life down there. He’s got a touring company down there. Todd, if I ever 
make it down there, lots of Canadians go to Costa   Rica. I’m definitely looking you up. I think I saw 
I think your company name you sent me a link. I think it was like JCO or something. J Aco maybe 
you can if that’s your company or someone you worked for in the past. Uh it’s on the Pacific 
side or like right on the ocean. God of Thunder Thor Hushov. Yeah, I think he had the yellow 
jersey too early on in the stage in the tour. Stephen saying he remembers Thor defend descending 
a mountain at night at 70 miles an hour. Okay. Yeah. Charlie Balius in the EF car. Good rider. 
Extraordinary DS. Inspirational dude. He’s got a great book, too. Uh I think Charlie’s book 
is called I think it’s called Domestique.   That’s a great book. Yeah, guys. Any book 
suggestions on cycling? I’m always looking for new ones. Uh I know Steven Cycles sent me 
one. Vonu, I think it is. It’s all about the von 2 and is that Peter Cawson’s I believe 
maybe uh Stephen I looked it up on Amazon I can’t find it here where I think you guys 
had hard copies floating around over there uh Dawn here saying that Ben Healey sat 
up front group we got three RI we got three Inos riders in the front group 
four bar rain four twodor coffeeis Yeah, there that head of the course. That’s 
got to be that huge group up front. A lot   of teams represented up there. I wonder 
if there’s any losers today that didn’t get one single rider up there. Going to 
be taking a look at that pretty quick, guys. Loving it. Loving it. 
Please like the video. Uh gap is at 150. Says three teams 
drive a very stretched bunch. showing some two door riders at the front here 
bombing victorious in those very distinctive   blue helmets. Yeah, it is stabilized now at 155. 
We got 52 riders up there. So, someone fought their way up there. There’s obviously riders 
are just hidden in between these two groups. Uh this final climb today, guys,   is going to be just awesome. We’ll be 
looking for Mr. 60% again. Barney. Uh, Robert’s asking, “Great question, Robert. Whose 
life will be changed the most by this tour? Start   with Ben Healey.” Yeah, dude. He could he could 
hang there for quite a while. I know people are saying, “Well, he’s not the same kind of climber 
as Pogy and that.” He’s in the yellow jersey. Everyone can say the same thing about uh Thomas 
Fogler back in the day and how long did he keep   the jersey for? And I think there was multiple 
tours where Thomas Vocler got the yellow jersey and became the darling of France as they like 
to call him back then back then. Uh last time I saw Thomas Vocler, he was competing I think in 
a half marathon or a full marathon in I think in France somewhere. That guy always tried hard. 
Yeah. Ben Healey uh stage victory, yellow jersey. What’s the chance of Ben keeping it today? I I 
think there’s a good chance he’d keep it today. Uh Tatty’s probably not at 100%. I bet you Tatty 
does not want to go all out today. He may not be hurt hurt. He may not have anything broken, 
but he hit the ground hard. Uh I think they were overly dramatic about it yesterday. Massive 
crash. I’m like, “Huh? There’s one rider.” Uh, and it wasn’t like he got wrapped around a light 
post or anything like that or went under a guard   rail. It kind of looked like an average crash to 
me. Uh, I guess it was for all for the drama. We won’t be seeing much of the sprinters today. In 
fact, let’s have a quick look. Where is the green   jersey right now? Green jersey says it’s with the 
yellow jersey. So, it’s in that group of riders there. Jonathan Milan, where is he? Uh, did he 
let he must be sitting right with Bingham. Uh, we got a lot of riders here, guys. Uh, not even 
see. Oh, there he is. So, Jonathan Milan’s there. Tim is right there as well. Got to assume that 
Bingham’s there with him. Bingham can climb a little bit. So, maybe Bingy can get over this 
category 4 first and try to squeeze out a few more points. We will jump back. Actually, I’m 
going to, as you guys are here, I’m going to try to take a peek over at Bike Terra and see what we 
can see here. I’m going to exit. Oh, I shouldn’t exit. I should have stayed in that. Let’s 
spectate tour to France. Stage 12 over on Berra and ahead of the course. We’re Ben Oconor here. Wow. So, right now over on Bera. Yeah, you can 
see their speed too. 60 kilometers an hour. Uh, it’s not showing any power. That data is 
going to be all probably pretty controlled.   Uh at this point they’re driving through a 
town. So guys, the graphics over on Berra. So Berra is a cycling application. Uh yeah, 
time and errandsman. It’s actually really good for seeing who’s in the brakes, guys. 
It’s a browserbased uh cycling application. So you don’t have to install a big program 
on your machine that has to be updated all   the time. It’s browser based. It’s all being 
done for you on the fly. It’s taking a GPX file uh of the course today which I’m looking 
at right now and uh it’s taking a real world map location and basically building the world 
around it. So it’s using like buildings nearby. Bin here saying be smart. Don’t cook 
yourself completely. I think a lot of people see big opportunities today. Uh and 
they’re trying to get after it right now. Having a look at that there. Uh I will bounce 
back here. I want to make sure I’m keeping   a good 154 now. 52 riders in the front group. 
We’ve got one rider. Uh I think this is Alexis Rainard here for Kofides out the back. 30 seconds 
back. Typical mechanical. back to the team car just kind of sitting stable right now. So, let 
me just have a look over here again. I want to   talk about this some more. So, it’s a cycling app. 
You take your bike, you put it on a smart trainer. Okay, I I’m just reading here. 
I’ve got one of the developers in   the chat here. Uh they don’t have 
access to the power data. I mean, and they they probably shouldn’t. Uh, I’m going 
to just type something here. Great stuff, guys. So, this allows you to ride out in the real world 
from inside your home. Uh, I woke up this morning. It’s pouring outside. Absolutely pouring. 
Um, today right now here in Alberta, Canada, it is a balmy 10° Celsius, guys. It’s 50 
Fahrenheit. Uh, not going out in that. Uh, I can ride the island of Corsica today over on 
Ruvie. Uh, and Anzel here is saying right now to me, this is live, guys. Again, hey Colin, feel 
free to share this on the stream, dude. I’m going   to do that. Uh, if he’s watching it. Uh, and 
guys, this is just a trial run what I’m going to show you here. This is the first time they 
done did this. It didn’t happen yesterday. So,   just guys, I know some of you are purely just 
cycling fans. Uh, but if you are a cycling fan, you get to see this, too. So, what we’re going 
to do is just jump away for a second. We’re   going to turn this on. We’re going to turn that 
off. Boom. Guys, we’re in uh Berra. And yes, Joey Jojo said I should make uh myself bigger on 
screen. So, we’re doing that. what we’re going to look at here. So guys, this is by Terra. This 
is kind of the new kit on the block uh in cycling applications. You can see here on the top side of 
the screen. Um and again, you guys can see this here. This is browser based. This runs in your 
browser. It’s like the lowest requirements to run. So, if you just don’t have a powerful PC, you 
want to run on a phone, you don’t want to deal   with updates at home because I’m struggling 
with that right now on another platform, uh, it’s probably my fault. I got to take some 
time to do it. Uh, everything’s done here for you in the background. So, this is real world location 
now. Uh, I can look at the map here and you guys can see I’m zooming out. Take a look at the bottom 
right hand corner and you can see we started uh, here’s Tuloo. This was the stage yesterday. 
We moved over to the city of O. This is where we started today. This is the stage today, guys. 
Here’s the location. The arrow is the location of the group I’m on right now. And I’m actually on 
the head of the course right now. Uh I’m seeing here. I want to see this here. Uh is he actually 
up the road? Yeah, we’ve got one rider off the break right now, guys. I want to see how live this 
is. Again, this is a trial run for them here. It’s kind of what they call procedurally generated. I 
guess the buildings are roughly where they should be, guys. It’s not like a onetoone representation 
of the buildings, but the beauty of it is I can do things like this. I can be the full cameraman 
and I can show you now that there’s cyclists in   the background there. There’s riders coming 
up right now. Uh, is this correct? Got some weird times going, weird speeds going here. 
Alexis Rainard doing 102 km an hour here. So, there’s some weird data there from the back. I 
wonder if he’s getting a sticky bottle at the back   because Alexis Rainard was way off the back there. 
We can jump back to the Pelaton here. So, this gives me the ability. Let’s go hang out with Oscar 
only. Here is the Oscar only group right now. And remember guys, this is a trial run. 
I have full capability to move through.   It’s not going to show all the riders and it 
was never advertised at that. It’s like we’re going to show a majority of the riders. 
We got Ben Healey. They’re showing the   important groups. Uh this way I can show you 
when people are breaking away off the front. So this power is all recorded down in the bottom 
corner here. Um I do want to jump back for one second. You can see the profile of Berra. This 
is the profile they’re taking on today in the bottom. You can adjust the map as you want in 
the left hand the bottom right hand corner here. Uh, hey, awesome. I’m looking at the chat here. 
Brett Rogers here. Came here from Inside Cycling   World. Sponsor him. Two happy smiles. Uh, 
guys, you can do this stuff inside. And guys, I’m just giving you my pricing. Uh, in Canada, I 
think I This would be $5.99 per month for me. Uh, technically, I’m not even a subscriber yet 
because, uh, Anslo and Matt, I forget Anslo’s I’m not even sure what his real name is. They uh 
give six free routes per day that you can ride over on uh bike terra. So this would be probably 
your easiest access into the world of uh inside cycling. We can jump back to front. I’m seeing 
here that Matthew Vanderpole is in the front   group. So it’ll quickly build the world. And guys, 
the vegetation and stuff you’re seeing nearby um it’s developed from the maps that are here on 
the bottom too. You can see here on the maps if I get close to the maps here. Things will be showing 
up. So, it’s showing you uh we’ve just came Yeah, we came through some trees there. Just there. 
Now, we’re just like out in the open field,   so we shouldn’t see a lot, but bodies of water, 
things like that will show up. It’s showing up ahead. We got some trees up here. Uh so, if 
there’s a big lake beside us, we will see it. Uh so, it’s a really cool simulation. This one 
is the easiest application to get realworld rides inside. This is the one. You get a GPX file, you 
fire it in here, and boom, you can do that. You got a friend who lives in Poland. Hey, dude. I did 
this great ride. Had this deadly climb on it. You would love it. Well, dude, I’m never going to get 
to Poland. Well, hang on a second. I’ll send you   the file. And then you build it here. And you do 
the ride inside. Uh, yes, it’s not outside riding, but it’s the closest thing you’re going to get 
to it. Uh, so I really like these guys. These are the guys that have spent their time talking 
to me. Uh, guys, looks like we got a group coming up from behind here. So, has something split up 
there? Possibly. Says right now the the Pelaton is moving at 61 km. I’ll just jump away, guys. 
Get back to the race itself. And I’m going to have that hovering in the background. see how I can 
use it later on probably some of the switchbacks   because I find when we’re just right now guys uh 
EFOX and UAE on the front Ben Healey on the front of the Pelaton is time for them to start doing 
some work. Uh hey Brett, thanks for jumping into that chat there guys. I got to catch up here. Uh 
yeah, we were talking about Charlie Regalius. Uh, okay. So, Don saying Thor rode from 2000 2014. 
Yeah, he did have the yellow. We saw that. Okay, we’re just catching up here. Bogonga again. Uh, 
okay. Jackamo, I think it’s Jackamo. Hey, nice coverage. Thanks, dude. Thanks for being here. 
Thomas Bridge back in the mix again, too. Thomas,   how’s it going? Uh, Thomas is another guy who, 
uh, Thomas, I think he rode otr last week. age groupers think he got third place in that race. 
So that again guys that’s over on bike terra. Uh Nina W strick nine rap rat poison. Yeah they use 
strick nine and so they just kind of mention it in part two. Uh and these audio books are about 14 
hours long. I’m like yeah I can I can listen to all that. Some of it’s in and out my ear and I’m 
catching names I know. Uh guys here’s a great name for you. Uh, if you know this, I think his name 
was Aeros Paulie. Uh, huge guy. I think it was 94 93 94. He was, I think he was 6’4, 6’5, over 
200 lb. Went on an attack early. Everyone let him go. He had like a halfhour lead, 28 minute lead 
at the base of the von two. Pontani came back, took back everything but three minutes. dude got 
over the top and just ran for the border. Won the stage champion. Uh such a cool story. I love stuff 
and and those are little things you forget about. Yeah, Dawn saying here strick nine I think is 
a blood thinner too. So how was that used? It’s   basically then in the 80s was mostly steroids 
and cortisols. I think steroids obviously for muscle development and cortisols I think are pain 
management. I think that’s how that worked. Uh and then you know they talked about it in the 90s 
and the early 2000s. France is the French riders were investigated more than the other riders. Uh 
it was deadly serious in France uh doping. They were tested differently. They said back then there 
was two different speeds at the tour. The French   speed and the rest of the world speed. The French 
had no chance back then. Uh, Robert, I discovered the tour because of Lemon. Saw him in the field 
twice in Nevada City, 80 or so, then learn to   love singing Lauron Fenol. One of the best names 
ever. Yeah, definitely, dude. Uh, Robert, not sure if you know this, uh, a video that Steven Cycles 
and myself did, the call to Turmal, the first high   alpine pass at the tour to France in 1910. There’s 
actually two ways. Well, there’s more than one way of the Tormlay. There’s the east side. There’s 
the west side. The traditional side is the west   side. That’s the one we’re doing this year at 
the tour. I don’t even know when we do that. It’s going to be the next couple days, I think, 
or I’m not sure if it’s into the next week. Uh,   but there’s an old way up there, too, that kind of 
parallels uh the modern route. And the road they go on is called the the route to Lauron. Uh, it 
still shows up. Uh, it’s a closed road. The roads are still painted. And I’m like, is that the old 
paint from the old days that’s still there? So, when you get there, there’s barriers across the 
road. Uh, cars can’t go up it anymore. It’s just for cyclists now. Uh, the tour will use the main 
road. They don’t go up that path anymore. Uh, but it just kind of parallels it and then it catches 
on. I think it merges back onto the road just   after Bere’s I think it’s called. Um, Hanzian here 
saying 11,000 horsepower in those dragsters. Uh, Jakamo is asking, “Is Jorgensson dropping?” He 
was earlier. Dude, let me get back to that. Sorry   about that. I got really distracted there. Uh, 
this is just the nature of the channel. Uh, okay guys, 52 riders in the lead with 125k remaining. 
Pretty flat where we’re at right now. Seeing Tatty on screen. Okay. So, as he’s got his left arm 
uh in the gauze mesh, and he’s got two big uh patches on, like additional ones in there. So, he 
probably had a couple of bad scuffs there. Again, Tatty Mr. Lucky. Mr. Lucky is what I’ve been 
calling him lately. Uh that could have ended his tour. That could have been a Yonas crash. 
How about that? That could have been a a Roglish   crash. And then, you know, everyone’s like, 
“Oh, Raj crashes out again.” We could say the same thing about Tatty. Uh, he’s very, very 
lucky. But, uh, yeah, great champion, too. Uh, yeah, Jorgensson was back out there for 
a bit, but I don’t see him gone now. Looks   like everyone’s back together. Yeah, Brett Bike 
Terror needs to start sponsoring you, dude. Yeah, it’s a great little application. So, guys, I ride 
all of them. By Terra’s uh huge advantage right   now over the rest is price and the ability to ride 
any road you can find. Uh I can’t do that on Zift. I can’t do that on Ruby. I can’t do that on my 
whoosh. I can’t do that on Training Peaks virtual.   Steven Cycles sent me guys I’ll show you in a bit. 
Steven Cycles sent me a GPX file and I created my own route over in Bike Terra and he’s like hey 
have you had a chance to ride it yet? Just so I   can see what he rides. Now, is it going to be as 
pretty as some of the other applications? No. It the reality is it’s not. But that’s the beauty of 
it. It’s simple. It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s based on your browser. The cost is perfect. 
Uh and I’m seeing more and more people moving to it every day. As the other ones are cranking up 
their prices, it’s uh one quarter of the cost of the other ones. So, if you’ve got a million other 
subscriptions, maybe that’s something that’s going to take you that way. Uh, maybe you’re training 
for a local bike race nearby that won’t be on Swift, won’t be on my whoosh, won’t be on Training 
Peaks Virtual, might be on Ruby. Ruby does have a lot of routes, but they also don’t have a lot of 
routes. Uh, you can create it yourself on uh Terra Tony C here. Good morning. Catching up late. think 
I was dropped early in the neutral start. Tony,   you had a long nature break, dude. Your nature 
break was way too long this morning. Uh, okay. Just backing up. Oh, I’ve missed some 
stuff here, guys. Sorry, I’m missing stuff. Don Don saying he’s not ready to write up 
a simulator rep. Don, I’ve done it. I’ve   done it. Uh, Nina saying, “Watch Harry 
Sweeney EF helping defend the jersey. Uh John here saying, “Can you 
screen share the bike terror?” Guys, I did show bike terror on screen, didn’t 
I? Was it actually on? I think I did. Ian saying you looked at Bike Terror. Thanks. 
Yeah, Ian, just check it out, dude. It’s   uh And again, you can ride bike terror today if 
you have a trainer. Uh even if you don’t have a smart trainer, you could. It’s But it’s not the 
same, guys. I’m I’m just going to be deadly honest   with you. If you’re not using a smart trainer, 
you’re not getting 90% of the experience. So, when you hit a 1% gradient, you feel it. It starts 
dragging resistance on the back end. When you hit   a 20% gradient, you’re spinning at 30 to 40 RPMs. 
If you’re just using a classic trainer and maybe you’re trying to increase the resistance yourself, 
it’s not it’s not smooth. It’s not functional. Uh we’ve got the tech to do it now. Uh Isaac Lee, 
super new to watching any cycling. Been watching G uh the extended stage watching all of Netflix 
tournament. Dude, the Netflix stuff is awesome.   I love it. Uh what’s the best way to watch it 
and get to know about all the workers? Dude, Isaac, hang out here with us. There’s so many 
knowledgeable people here. Uh ask any questions here, guys. I think I’m pretty into cycling. I do 
a lot of cycling. I realize there’s people that just love the tour to France and maybe they 
don’t even ride bikes yet and they’re here   to learn about it. So, Isaac, just drop anything 
here and any one of these dudes here will uh give you an answer. Uh, be right back. Oh, Don, he’s 
not going to uh kill anyone in the park today. Kickboxing. Now he’s got to take one of the kiddos 
to a summer pro tour to her summer program. Okay,   Don, we’ll see you soon. Uh, the Colonel’s 
back. Tour to France time again. Colonel, good to see you. Cole McDonald, just tuning 
in now. Who’s in the breakaway? Dude, Cole,   great question. 52 riders in the breakaway if 
you can believe that. Uh, best placed overall is Carlos Rodriguez for Inos Grenaders at 12th place 
overall. Gay Martan, Ben O Connor’s up there, Skeleos Bman. We’ve got five riders in the top 20 
at the front. This dude here, Time and Eronsman, I’m really impressed by this dude. Uh, stage 
10, those seven category 2 climbs we took on, he was right there all the way. Uh, I think 
he finished third or something on the day,   maybe second even. kind of like to me I’m thinking 
he might be the best Grenadier out there right now. Uh that team’s going to be fully rebuilding 
itself. Toys Drizzers Durbos is up there. Yeah, just a swack of riders in that front group. 
It’s a 147 gap back to the Pelaton. Uh okay, chat just bounced over here. Let me get back 
to the chat somehow. Why did the chat move   over? We don’t want that. The big No, we 
don’t want that full screen. Sorry, guys. And I will be jumping back to bike 
tier to show you guys some more. Uh, so Isaac, nice to have you on board, 
dude. Nice to have you on board. Uh,   guys, I need to reset. Okay, there we go. It reset 
itself. Wow, 300 people watching. Awesome stuff, guys. Love doing this. It was funny. I was 
talking to Joey yesterday. It’s crazy this   week because we only have five days. Uh, 
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Then we take another rest day. That 
first stretch I I was saying to myself,   we were going for supper and I’m like, I can’t 
believe I went down 10 days straight. And I said, you know what? In those 10 days, I talked by 
myself 40 to 50 hours right there. I said, I basically talked a full week of work for what 
I would call a normal human being since I’m an unemployed bum. Uh, this kind of feels like 
a full-time job, but I love it. I absolutely love it. Uh pay me minimum wage and I’ll do 
this for the rest of my life. Uh so we saw bike terror back there just catching up guys. 
Uh Cole here 52 riders on breakaway getting some onboard bike camera coverage here. Belgian 
TV a handful of riders are streaming this tour. Uh Costa Rica I have a couple of 
pages for different areas. Okay. Yeah. Jacob mountain biking cycling. I I 
checked all that out yesterday. God Thomas   Vocar perfected the look at me. I’m suffering 
so Oh yeah, the tongue out. Riding his bike, tongue out the whole time. Yeah, he wasn’t 
smooth and efficient, wasn’t he? But he was a fighter. That guy was a fighter. And the 
French people loved him. I loved him, too. Evan’s wondering about some good 
jigsaw puzzles on cycling. Dude,   those might be hard jigsaw puzzles with all 
the jerseys. Okay, that’s a good question. Evan, I think you’ve got your new business plan. 
The new business model is formed. Make jigsaw puzzles. Uh, looking at the front here. EF present 
on the front. Got another Vizma. I think Sept Cous is up here riding right beside Tatty right now. 
So, Tatty’s only real injuries. Mr. Lucky. Uh, it looks like it’s just his left arm right 
now. I don’t see anything on his legs. Looks   like Soair was just pouring some water down his 
back, guys. 32 degrees C. It’s fast. Average speed still 51.3 km an hour. This is no joke. 
Yesterday was an absolute ring a ding-dong dandy, folks. Constant attacks off the front. All Tatty 
has to do is react. Uh it’s how the rest of the team set up their attacks. Uh I’m thinking here, 
this is my strategy. FSMA sends Simon Yates up the road. No one attacks, he could win the stage very 
easily. He’s one of the onfire climbers right now. No doubt about that. Uh, stage wind’s pretty 
good, right? Stage wind’s pretty good at the   Tour to France. Uh, then they start firing other 
leaders up. Uh, they got Sept Cous, Matteo. Uh, they got a ton of riders there right now to help 
out. It’s the other teams that need to kind of   like pile in on those attacks if they want to 
move their riders up. Uh, I think there’s a lot of dark horses in this year’s Tour to France. 
Florian Lipoitz, Oscar only, Kevin Balon. A couple good days they could be on the podium. 
I think Remco’s day could be tomorrow. Yes. So Tony got dropped on the Nature Break early. I 
really wish I could figure this out better. Uh so we got jigsaw puzzles. Okay, 
good good comment here. Uh,   SROM seam t I think Vizma will have to Yeah, 
they have to pressure him. So, right now Viz uh Yonas has a loss and he’s down by what, 
a minute and 29. Tatty’s in front of him. Tatty’s in front of him. Tatty just has to kind 
of react to what Yonas is doing. It’s not his   job to go after it right now. Let’s take a look 
at the live tracking here, folks, as I catch up. See our we just got two groups here right now. 
Slowly making their way slowly being over 51k an hour right now. Heading to the first category 
4 climb of the day. Um Robert Isaac, check out Chris her YouTube channel. He goes deep into the 
subtle details of pro racing. Yep, good idea. Oh, the Colonel says he’s still hurting 
from Blocky’s crash in 2003. Yeah, I know,   right? I think that crash uh absolutely 
ended his career. Uh that’s the one where he was with Lance at the front on 
that hairpinned corner. He hit like   uh a sticky part of tarmac uh so hot in the 
Pyrenees. Remember guys, it’s been hot there forever cuz I know people say it’s never been 
this hot. It’s always been this hot there. Um   that the roads would melt and his wheel kind of 
like dug in. He went straight over. I think he just basically obliterated his hip. That’s the one 
where Lance goes cross country. Everyone else does the hairpin. Lance joins back on. You know what? 
Lance was kind of Mr. Lucky, too, wasn’t he? Uh Jeff saying here, did you say 40 MP on a 20% 
climb? Oh, uh, revolutions. Yeah. Yeah. Like when I’m climbing in my gearing on my bike, if 
it’s like a 20% climb, Yeah. I’ll be like 30 to 40 RPMs and I’ll just grind it out. Uh it’s just 
my style of riding. Uh uh we’ve got a guy here, the main mountain stages. Yeah, this is this 
is the start of the tour right now to me,   guys. This is the start. Yep, Tony here. 
Good point. The Pel the breakaway almost the size of the Pelaton needs a breakaway 
from that to happen. Yeah, you’re right. Uh XRP I some guy’s talking about 
Bitcoin. Whatever, dude. Uh, yep. Do your Bitcoin thing if you want. Uncleing. 
Okay. Uncle Traveling Maddie here. Hey there, buds. The tour has been full of craziness. 
Hey, is Ala Phipe in the breakaway? I think   Alfleippe is in the breakaway, guys. Let’s see 
if we can see him. Alfa Phippe. I know he’s far down in the stands. Vanderpool’s up there. 
Blackmore. Uh, Steph Crass. Pari Poncho’s up there. Harry Sweeney. Here’s Alfa Phippe. He’s 
up there. 59th overall. He is 52 minutes down. That’s why he’s in this breakaway. Uh get some 
time back. The white jersey is off the back, guys. Uh Aventipole is off the back. Uh 57 seconds 
back. Who’s back with him? They do have Ankhorn back there with them. So something’s happened 
to Remco at the back. Let’s see what I can find   out here. Uh I’m not seeing anything from the 
tour yet. Did I see that before the tour did? This is how it happens every day, guys. I see 
I’m seeing things and I’m like there’s nothing on the stream yet about Remco. Uh and I’m not 
seeing here anything here about Remco either. So, okay. So, I’m looking here. Well, you can’t 
see this. Santiago Bago for Bing Vtorius is saying   we are thinking as much about Lenny’s polka dot 
jersey as we are about winning the stage. So, Bahrain wants to make some uh their presence known 
here today. gap sitting stagnant right now. 145 150. Jonathan Milan on his really cool painted 
trek. I love it. Riding beside Ben Healey. Uh just going to check and see where I’m at in the 
real world. Okay, so I’m about 1.3 kilometers off that feed for some reason. Let me just bounce 
this up if I can. Try to avoid a little bit of this buffering that’s going here. Okay, Brian 
Kakard on the front. And this is the Oh, this is this is the lead group. I think it’s so hard to 
tell. The groups are so big. I can’t really tell what’s the Pelaton and what’s not right now. Uh 
let’s let that get figured out here. Now they’re   finally showing uh Remco back at the car with a 
teammate. Uh looks like he’s getting ice. I wonder if Remco is suffering in the heat here. Number 21, 
Remco Aventa pole for Sudal. Quickstep. Looks like I think Remco might be suffering here today, 
guys. This may not be a great day for Remco. I think we’re seeing that unfold right now. Uh, 
and again, I’m not seeing any comments here about it. Come on, guys. Let us know what’s going on 
on the front of the Pelaton itself. I can only tell that because I see the yellow jersey here. 
Looks like Neil’s Pots on the front as usual, grimacing/grinning maniacally as he drives the 
front. Uh followed by a bunch of EF riders. So 1 minute 31. They’re starting to drag it 
back, guys. Starting to drag it back. And yeah,   we are a minute back to Aventipo, guys. 
Breaking news um from inside Cycling World here. I haven’t seen anything else talk about 
it yet. Come on, guys. What is going on here? Nothing else. I’m looking at multiple sources. 
They’re not mentioning Remco at all right now.   I guess they’ve forgotten about him. Uh Remco 
Aventole currently third place overall at the tour right now. Is slowly slipping off 
the back, one minute behind right now. What do you guys think? What’s going to 
happen here? What do you guys think about   Remco right now? I got to keep watching 
this. I got to keep drinking coffee. Yesterday was the first day I told Joey. I said, 
“Wow, I feel like I’ve been talking for five   hours.” The voice is strong though, folks. The 
voice is powerful. Um, okay, let me get caught up. Yeah, Al Flee is in the breakaway up north. You 
deserve a like for your tour dedication. Thanks,   dude. Thank you very much. 363 watching, guys. 
Absolute legends out here watching this channel. Uh, and I’m going to keep driving. I have so many 
plans going forward. The women’s tour is next. Uh there’s some one-day races in August. We got the 
Valta at the end of August. I’m going full deep immersion like this inside the 10×10 cube of 
happiness and uh perspiration. This is where it all happens, folks. Uh on screen right now, 
I’m seeing uh three knights battling on top of some huge tower. Uh some demonstration they’re 
putting on. And it’s funny, too. They’ve got the They’ve got the three the dudes marked on top as 
Alfa, Philip, and Pogy battling it out on top of some probably thousand-y old tower in the middle 
of France. So cool, guys. I want to get there next year. I’m going to try to put it together to get 
there next year. And I think uh Ruben was asking, “Where you going to be, dude? France is huge.” 
I go, “Yeah, it’s about the size of Alberta.”   I don’t know if it actually is. Um that’s what I 
thought in my head. Anyways, uh I just don’t think of big spaces as being big because that’s what 
we’re used to here. Uh so up north, thank you very much, dude. Uh Robert, that Monday race day really 
threw me off. Why not a rest day on Monday like casual? It’s because of Bastile Day. Yeah, it was 
strange, wasn’t it? So to go 10 days straight, to have a day off and now we’re only going five days. 
Uh someone’s asking it looks like Okay, that’s a long name. Uh Tatty. Tatty is comfortably in the 
Pelaton right now, waiting to see how he’s going to recover. Guys, I still think tomorrow is the 
more important day for Tatty when he’s by himself, when there’s no teammates. How sore is that hip, 
that shoulder, that left arm, all of that stuff got hit. And if he does have any injuries, they’re 
going to be very, very quiet about it. They’re not going to say a word. Will Barta riding from 
Movie Star, one of the guys live streaming   from his bike. Really? I think it’s live. 
Anyone have uh stats on riders live streaming? Robin saying maybe just a 
transponder problem. Uh okay,   Robin’s brand new here. Robin Wilmy’s 
here. Yep. Tony saying, “Yeah, it’s true. My nature break way too long.” 
Uncle Okay, I’m almost caught up, guys. Uh uh Uncle Traveling Maddie here, brand new here 
today, saying a few racers in the tour have been   ill. Something passed around. Yeah, guys, 
that’s the thing, too. You got to survive three weeks. A stomach bug could a stomach 
bug could take you out of the tour. A little   touch of diarrhea. Your tour might be over. 
Uh Greg Lamond. Yeah, back in the 80s. Yeah, I’ve heard some scary stories about a uh 
a gastrointestinal bug he had back then. Basically, there’s a story that he had it so 
bad his teammates had to surround him to kind of block the view from cameras. How bad it was. 
Yeah, Robertson, you’re pogying and now with leap sword fighting on top of the castle. Uh, why did 
Ramco gap? Exactly. Good question, dude. Okay, guys. Stuff’s going on here. I’m not sure. Let’s 
get caught up here. Uh 52 riders in the front, 144 back to the Pelaton. I’m now seeing a gap back 
to Tatty. Seeing a gap back to Tatty here. Remco and Inorner riding together. Uh 16 seconds behind. 
And then we’ve got group Tatty at the back with Civicov. Guys, Tatty is off the back right now 
with Civikov. I’m going to have a good look here. See how he’s riding. He’s not far enough back that 
I’d really be worried about him yet. This could be just a go back to the team car. Hey Tatty, come on 
back. We’ll have a little talk. But Tatty is not in the main group right now. Tatty and Civicov are 
working their way back now through the cars. I’m not worried about this at all. He looks fine to 
me. Riding his way back up. Who knows? It is. You know, we saw this with Almeida, though. He was 
like at the back a lot. Uh we just don’t know, guys. Reuben is in the mix. Hello girls. Uh Tony, 
275 votes so far. Good poll attendance. Happy to see near time for good cyclist and rabbit fans. 
So at least there are a good number like me. Yeah,   dude. I’m a huge fan and I’m probably an average 
cyclist. Uh my consistency is way down. That started in June. Uh the tour to France just really 
beat me up. The coverage I just didn’t I was sick. Uh and just doing the coverage every day. At 
the end of the coverage, I’m like, “Oh, wow. Oh,   I am tired. Uh, so I haven’t been doing a ton of 
riding. I’ll be back on the bike today. Think, like I said earlier, I’m doing a Corsica 
route today. Sunny, not too tough. Uh, yeah, Anthony here. Anony’s here. Did Pogy crash 
again? I don’t think he crashed again. I think   he just went back to the car, dude. Uh, so great 
question from Anthony here. Why is Pog behind? We don’t know yet. I’m watching right now. He’s only 
17 seconds behind. He is with a teammate. I think he’s just being slowly paced back up. That might 
have just been go back to the car, have a little quick talk with them. How you feeling, Taddyy? 
What’s going on? This is the superstar of the   team. They want to know everything about him. 
Uh what does that foreshadow anything for later in the stage? Uh you know, it was crazy that 
Almeida had that huge crash right before the Murder De Britannia in the last three kilometers. 
uh got up, finished the stage, 15 minutes down, I believe. Uh rode the entire next stage, showed up 
for the day after that, started riding really bad on the back. Like he doesn’t ride at the back, and 
he was at the very back of the pelaton all day. Uh got split off a couple times, and then finally he 
said, “I can’t do it. I can’t do it.” Like it’s um yeah, they’re riding in pain the whole time. 
There’s no doubt Tatty’s in pain right now. Uh, he is 12 seconds back, guys. So, don’t worry, 
Tatty will be back on. Okay, leading group 52 and I’m seeing Pablo Castrio Zeper here. It doesn’t 
show his full name, but I know that’s who it is. Uh, riding in between the groups. I don’t know. 
Looks like he’s bridged away from them because   there’s there was 52 riders in this group earlier. 
The Pelaton’s getting even smaller, guys. The Pelaton’s 119 riders. And so here they are showing 
Tatty back now. Uh little bits of delays. Yeah, the Tatty group has disappeared. He’s back in the 
Pelaton now. I’d like to know what the tour is   saying right now about him. Breakaway at more than 
50k an hour. So this is really strange to me here, guys. This is from earlier today. Not one 
mention of what Remco was going through   back there. Not one mention of Tatty sitting 
off the back. I find that to be very strange. Uh guys, I’m going to go back over here for 
a second. See if they’re going to show any   replays for you here. Let me see if I can 
get to those videos near live. Uh guys, you can watch this. Take a look at this here. 
Look at these whack jobs. So, he’s skiing. He’s water skiing on the cut crop. Uh guys, if you fall 
down on that stuff, that those little stocks of crop that are left are very sharp. Uh he doesn’t 
even have a t-shirt on. What a mammal. This guy is an absolute manimal there. Love this guy. He 
would fit in well over here in uh Western Canada, dude. Getting it. Uh so that was just from earlier 
today. The sprinters did try to go early. I’m actually looking to see if I can show you anything 
live, which I can’t right now. It’s not showing   up of uh Tatty off the back. You guys tell me. 
What do you think? Is that just a quick checkup? Actually, they’re now showing him 
back at the doctor’s car. So, guys,   this is a bit delayed. This is just a bit 
delayed. This is about So, this is about a kilometer and a half back. He was hanging 
out at the doctor’s car. Not sure if he went   to it or not. They might have just They could 
Maybe they just have like a checkup procedure, too. It might be like a full, “Hey, Taddyy, you 
crashed yesterday. Uh, you might have concussed   yourself. Procedures here at the UC through 
the UCI. You need to talk to a doctor once a day for the next 3 days. You know, they do 
have a full procedure to check for concussions. Uh, back into my awesome chat here, guys. 
Ruben saying, “How was Joy’s birthday.”   Ruben was great. We got out, had a nice supper. 
Uh, I was a good boy. The girls drank wine. They had a great time. Great seeing the girls uh 
getting along, guys. Girls, right? Girls. Uh, the daughters and the mom. That’s what I’m trying 
to say. Uh, okay. Just trying to listen here. Uh, the group is slushie. Slushie. 
What does that mean? Not water. Oh, someone’s asking for a slushie. Sorry, we don’t 
have a slushie in the car. Someone wants a slurpee   out on the raceourse. I’m I’m going to try 
to I think it was an Alpison rider, too. So, I think someone ordered a large grape and Coke 
slurpee uh for a little bit of energy out there. Yeah, guys. Uh just to catch. Yeah. Uh Reuben, 
great birthday yesterday. Great seeing Ruben   here again. Pogy was behind, dude. He was back 
in the cars. Uh the last image they showed, he was talking to the doctor’s car. I don’t 
know if they were checking him out. Um Tony   here. Tony looks new. Tony Cabarudu. No, Pog is 
okay playing Pawsome. I agree, Tony. I think Tony, uh, Tatty looks fine. Tony, you look fine, 
too. Uh, is Remco dropped? Remco was out the back before. And Stephen, I this tour coverage 
here. Uh, they haven’t mentioned, uh, Remco being a minute back with a Sudal rider. They haven’t 
even mentioned Tatty being out the back yet. So, I guess it’s not important, but um, I just 
trying to show you guys what I’m seeing. Uh,   they’re all back together now, though. There’s no 
one out the back. I’ll just make sure about that, guys. Let’s jump into our groups here. Okay, 
there’s some stuff going on, though. So, here’s our front group of 52 riders. Uh, this 
looks like the lone warrior, Castrio Zapator. This guy is a time trial that did really well on 
stage five. He’s like, I ain’t waiting around.   I’m getting up there for Movie Star. Oh, you 
know what? I bet you remember I said earlier, I wonder if any teams were the big losers today. 
And uh every team wants to have a rider in that breakaway. Let’s have a look right now and see 
if we see a Moistar rider. If they didn’t have a rider in that break, there’s a team director 
somewhere. Okay, it’s saying Zapeder is in the   breakaway now. So, he’s bridged on. Okay, 
Rubio was up there and Romeo bad. That’s another good time trial is there. So, they do have 
a presence up there. They’re just going to load up   that front end group. uh get a good presence 
there in case something lights up later. Uh Easy Irony, I like this guy’s name. Is 
Pogy in the same group as joints? Yes,   he is. Easy irony. Uh 6 that was at 650, guys. 
I’m about 5 minutes behind you guys right now. 5 to 7 in the morning over here. Uh Tony 
saying no, he’s getting patched up. He’s playing Pawsome. Watch. She’s going to announce. 
Oh, so I think Tony is a big supporter of Tatty   Pogachar. I heard him yesterday called 
Tadpole. I kind of like that nickname, Tadpole. Uh, it’s probably easier for me to say, 
and please don’t get mad at me because I’m uh giving a nickname to your favorite rider. I love 
all the riders, guys. I love all the riders. Uh, I love when the last place guy goes on an attack 
uh and people are like, “Whatever, he’s last.” Dude, it’s so hard to be out there. These are like 
some of the best athletes in the world right here. Uh, Bruno Amarill talking about trying for 
Decathlon today. That guy’s been very active at the tour. Uh, Jacob’s back. Jacob’s back in 
the mix. Seriously, your coverage is better than the pay of view coverage, dude. Thank you so 
much. Thank you. Uh, I checked out some other options in the first few days, but decided 
you were better coverage. Can’t see video,   but it works. Okay. Yeah, dude. That’s I’m doing 
the best I can. I’m doing the best I can. Uh, I think if one of the main media sources said, “Hey, 
Colin, we’re going to pay you absolutely nothing, but we’re going to give you the the video feed.” 
I think I could do a pretty good job, guys. Uh, skiing on stock shirtless, well beyond my rabbit 
fan level. Oh, yeah. Totally. One crash in that, you are torn apart. Uh, just go just go running 
through a field of stocks, guys. back in the old days, the sled dog days for Colin, early season 
training would start around here in September. Uh we are at a little bit of elevation, not as high 
as Scotty Mack down in Denver, but Calgary is   quite high. We’re at about 3 and a half thousand 
ft. So we’re not the Mile High City at all, but I would run farmers fields after they cut the 
stocks. And I would have to check every year like, ooh, I think it’s actually canola. Canola stocks 
are like they’re like puny sticks. They stick straight up and they are sharp. And the dogs, 
they’d have to change their running gate to go through there. I would never let my dogs sprint 
through a cut canola field cuz the stocks are so sharp and thick. I’d slow them all down to a trot 
and then they could kind of like shuffle through. You got to imagine the stocks are about that 
long. Uh, hey, I’m talking to the camera for once,   guys. It’s me. Colin. Uh, so if they’re just 
shuffling, their feet don’t get above the stock and land on them. You could tear your dog’s feet 
apart on that stuff. So that guy was insane. Um, yeah, Jacob, thanks so much for the kind word, 
dudes. Uh, I’ve been working long and hard at this. Um, I’m so glad that you guys like this. 
That’s all I really care about. I’m gonna keep doing it. I I said earlier, women’s tour is 
next, guys. Please support the women’s tour. uh you know, it’s not the tour to France to 
me. It’s not I don’t know enough of them. So, I’m learning about them right now. I’m in the 
background learning about all the female cyclists,   watching the women’s racing on flow bikes. 
I have all the replays available to watch. They’re incredible. So, I’m doing that. Uh we’re 
doing the Valta at the end of August. Joey Jojo and the girls will be in Vegas for a week. I will 
be fully in the 10 x 10 cube. I may never leave. Uh hygiene may become an issue. Uh yeah, Jacob, 
thanks for being here, dude. It’s people like you that make this channel awesome. Same with 
Ruben here. You better visit when traveling to   France next year. Dude, if I make it to over to 
Europe next year, I’m going to visit everyone. So, it’ll be awesome. John Shady finally at work. 
Colin’s voice is the best back room. Thanks, John. Love it. John, you’re one of the original GRC guys 
who’s here supporting me. So, I really like that. Uh what happened with Podakar? Tatty Tadpole. Uh, 
no one knows yet. No one knows. And again, guys, I’m looking at the feature. Okay, so Carlos, 
yeah, Carlos Rodriguez is 12th overall. Uh, behind Ben Healey. They’re talking about 
that Magnus Court. Magnus wanted to get uh in the breakaway yesterday and never managed 
to. That was kind of his type of stage. Uh,   it’s funny how you see different riders come 
to the forefront as the stage progresses. Some guys take a while. Head of the course right now. 
Uh Tim Wellins, Bonut, Shockman, Sweeney for EF team Bartorius. They’ve got like four or five 
riders in the front right now. Uh Grenaders   are all working super hard at the front, too. Oh, 
this is the head of the course. This is the This is the main group. Uh the breakaway group. Let 
me get back up there. Do we really have that many grenaders up here? Rodriguez. Let’s have a quick 
look. Looks like there’s five of them. There’s Aeronman. He He’s a climber. Laurance. We’ve seen 
that guy. I think we saw him yesterday a lot. Uh F. We do. We have I think we have five grenaders 
in this move up front here. This is awesome   for Inos because their tour so far has been 
pretty quiet. Very quiet, guys. 3:25 watching, guys. We’ve been streaming for 106 minutes. 
Uh guys, we’re doing this four to five hours every day. Uh it’s funny. Yesterday, too, I put a 
post up on LinkedIn. Not a huge fan of LinkedIn, guys. Uh I tried a long time to get back into 
my career field. Hasn’t happened. I just put a feed up. I put my stream up from yesterday and 
it it’s actually had like people like, “Wow,   that’s really cool, dude.” Like a lot of looks 
at it. There’s a lot of cyclists around here. I’m hoping there’s some dude in downtown 
Calgary right now going, “Hey, man. I love   cycling. Who’s this guy? Who’s this idiot talking 
the whole time? Uh, maybe he could sell something for us. Maybe he can sell tools. Maybe he can 
sell uh frack fluids. Of course I could. Um, okay. Uh, Robert here. Thumbs up on 
Bora. Red pinstripe blue shorts kit. Oo, dude. Castama. I loved that kit back in the 
day. Uh, I think it was Castarama. Robert, you Robert, you seem to know your stuff, man. 
Didn’t Castarama have the kit that used to have   it looked like they had suspenders on? Like 
their kit looked like they had suspenders and I think it was a blue and yellow kit 
like blue with yellow pinstripes. So,   uh, Robert, excellent eye here catching that. 
I’ll try to take a look myself for the Bora team. Yeah, Ruben’s saying he’s slim shady. Wait, 
that’s what we call John. Slim Shady. Uh, Tony here. Best coverage. New to this podcast. It’s 
awesome, dude. Tony, thank you for being here.   Drop some comments. Uh, guys, spread it around. 
I mean, my goal is to do this. I’m like, could you imagine if I end up being able to do this and 
somehow maintain my lifestyle uh and feel like I’m being uh that I’m contributing to the household, 
if you get my drift. I’m trying real hard. Uh, I consider tour cyclists like I do Olympians. 
You have my respect for just being there. Yeah,   totally, Brett. I mean, I see this guy. Yeah, he 
should retire. He like uh Roger Kir could just destroy every one of us at any given second. 
He’s sitting I think he’s eighth overall right   now. Uh him and Florian. And obviously there’s a 
passing of the guard there. Oh, sorry. A passing of the torch from the old guard to the new young 
guy. Roick knows that. Uh just taking a look here guys. I’m going to actually while we’re hanging. 
So we’re 145. Then we’ve got to the Pelaton guys. Pelaton’s got everyone. 118 riders. Healey, 
Pogy, Remco, both back. Tour never mentioned a thing about it. They never said a thing about 
them being a full minute out the back. Uh yeah, I think Remco might be hot, suffering a bit today. 
I think Tatty was getting a checkup. I’m going to cruise through this again and I’m just looking 
to see if they’re going to actually talk about   it. If they don’t, that seems really strange to 
me. I’m going to jump back over here, guys. I’m going to just be doing some messing around on 
the sidelines here. Um, let’s see if I can do this here. I may have to exit this. I think I got 
to exit this. I’m back over on Terra right now and seeing what I can do. Okay, so that’s Matt 
there, head of the course. Let’s let this load up. trying to get on Ben Oconor. Yeah. Here I’m So 
right now I’m expecting Ben Oconor on the stage, guys. This is amazing to me. Absolutely amazing. Uh again, it’s not going to show all the 
riders. Uh but guys, this is basically the first time they’ve ever done this and they’re 
doing it live and letting us view it. So there’s riders that I know that are riding the course 
right now. riders that I’ve commentated on. Uh, one guy I know here for sure is Vouter Clays. He’s 
a Belgian dude. Really, really strong cyclist. Uh, he does a lot of racing on my whoosh and 
over on Berra. Uh, he’s a big sprinter. Uh, I’m going to look him up somewhere here, too. 
He’s actually riding the stage with them. So,   I I can probably find him. I don’t know 
if he’s going to do the whole stage. Uh, hard to tell here, but it’s so cool 
here, too, because I know right now. So,   I’m going to show you something here. Take a look 
at this. It’s saying that crevice on here. Uh, ooh, that name just changed on the fly. 
They’ve got this group named wrong here. Uh, who is it? Van Lurberg here is off the back. Oh, 
here’s Crevis on here. No, that’s not either. So, 126 back to Okay, side of the road right now. 
What are they showing? Sudal rider. It is not   Remco. Uh, getting a full mechanical there. At the 
front, we’ve got Uno X riders, EF riders, Vizma, more EF riders. I can see Ben Healey. He’s There’s 
about three of them behind the Vizma team. There’s   five or six Vizma riders at the front of the main 
Pelaton, GC Pelaton, we’ll call it. Uh looks like they’re upping the tempo right now. And this looks 
like one of the taller riders from Sudal getting pushed back on course right now. Bottle hanging 
out of his mouth. And you can see the Pyrenees   looming in the background, guys. Looming in the 
background. Uh, looks pretty fast. Average speed right now, 50 kilometers an hour. 51 riders in 
the front group. So, someone’s just trickled out of the back of that front group. We’re getting 
on our way to the Cat 4 climb. Only one point   available there today, guys. Let’s take a look 
at that. Uh, we’ll jump to the route. And I’m, guys, I’m actually starting to get actually half 
decent at this. You can see here category 4 climb   the Kot Ladmal only one point available. There 
won’t be much of a fight over this. 20 points at the sprint. So that’ll be 20 down to 15 15th 
place. Coldest soore is 10 points though. Points start getting higher the harder the climbs get. Uh 
hotcom 20 points and there’s green points up there as well. Obviously the climbers are going to steal 
all those all those and there’s some time bonuses. Uh, guys, I love the chat. 431 people watching 
right now, guys. Thank you so much. Uh, and back to Tony, dude. Best coverage. New to the podcast, 
dude. Hang out here every day. I’ll be doing tons   more cycling stuff. Uh, like I said earlier, 
if you’re interested in the tour of Denmark, Tour Poland, Deutsch Tour, uh, the Arctic 
Trail. I’m going to try to do all that   stuff because I don’t think anyone else is. 
Um, I’ve never really seen this style of coverage for tour of France. Uh, feminine 
axift. I’ve never seen that before. Okay, we’ve got a Kofodus rider here. Brian Kard looks 
like he has crashed. He’s holding his arm. Uh, he looks like he’s in pain. I think this might 
be it for Brian Kakard. The way he’s holding   his arm. Okay. What’s coming through from the 
torier? Have they caught this as well? Kard calls the doctor. So, they have caught that. Uh, 
he’s actually stopped. He’s calling the doctor   over. You got to think he’s broken something 
right there. So, he’s had a mishap somewhere. Trying to see if his jersey or his uh bibs 
are ripped up apart, but I don’t see any damage. He’s getting his gloves off. It’s in his 
fingers. He’s doing something with his fingers. Maybe he’s just this. I think Brian Kard’s pretty 
tough. I think he’s going to get them taped up.   Hopefully he gets back on. Uh so main pelaton 
guys, 118 riders here. All the hitters are here. All the bangers. Let’s get it folks. Then we got 
a little bit of a jump back to uh Bert Van Liber here for Sudal. That’s the Sadal reader who’s 
having the mechanical. So he didn’t have a crash. And then poor Kakard is back here by himself just 
falling back. That was a long stop. I don’t think he’s even moving yet. On the front driving now. 
I think I see one UAE rider driving at the front. Uh John Chady. This has been my nickname for 
years. I have it on the back of my helmet.   I have three brothers. Brothers, 
but the description fits me best. Uh Bashock’s in the mix from uh Ruby 
World. Team GRC, what’s up? ICW fanatics. Are they climbing or is another aerobike 
false flats? false flatty for now. Uh,   it’s getting pretty exciting. 50s something 
riders in the breakaway. Huge breakaway group. Brian Kakard off the back. I think he’s having 
fingers taped together. I kind of think he would do that if he had a broken finger. Something 
happened. He’s broken a finger and he’s getting two or three of them taped together to keep 
it stable. That’s all I can think there. Uh, yeah. Someone’s asking here, should we nickname 
Remco to Remco motorpool? That guy has a TT   machine. Oh, yeah. He’s hands down the best time 
trialist in the world. Unfortunately, the current tour, the modern tour does not give enough um 
chances for time trialists to excel on. Uh they just don’t anymore. Uh go back 20 30 years, they 
were doing like 60 70 individual time trials. 60 to 70 km long individual time trials. I think the 
longest I saw was 85 kilometers in the 90s. 85 km individual time travel. Uh climbers look out. But 
like I I keep saying the qualore today and the hoticon they haven’t gotten any lower in altitude. 
They haven’t got any easier. They’re still hard,   but they’ve reduced the time trials. And I guess 
it’s for TV. That’s my guess. Uh way back in the past, they used to really favor time trials. And 
you know, if you were to go back to the Endurine days, that’s how he won all his tour to Francis. 
He would absolutely smash the Pelaton apart. Uh there’s a really cool video. I’m going to do a 
little audio commentary on it. Uh Lance Armstrong, I think it’s like 93, just pedalling like a demon 
and Big Mig just goes just blows past him. Like he’s going like 30 to 40% passing him. He’s caught 
Lance and just blowing right by him like, “Yeah, whatever, kid. Big Migs in the house.” Uh, that’s 
how he won his tour to Francis. Five in a row, baby. Five in a row. Juiced or not. Whatever. 
Walk it off, bro. Uh, Ruben here saying, “Hey, Bashock. All flat falls flat today.” Yeah, no 
real climbs today, guys. We’re just joking. Uh, yeah. Check this out, guys. Okay, R. Stanley, 
love these comments, dude. I do this all the time. France is roughly 3.1. And this is back 
to a comment room said. He goes, he says Colin, he goes, “France is 1,000 km wide and 800 km, 
whatever.” I’m like, “Okay, dude.” I said,   “Whatever.” Uh, cuz I think, dude, to jump 
in my car to drive 500 km to see your friend, that’s normal. That’s what you do around here. To 
jump and drive an hour just to get some groceries   is normal. Uh, but yeah, Arsenal here. Thanks 
for doing this. France is roughly 3.1 times the size of Oklahoma and Alberta is really it’s 
1.2 times the size of France. Dude, uh Alberta, 5 million people. How many people live in France? 
Alberta, that’s what people forget here. It’s so wide open. Uh you go hours before you find 
things. It’s just a different world over here. Uh John Chady TTD bike up the hotcom like that guy 
on Ruby. Yes, guys, just so you know, on Ruby this morning, I saw early uh up at up before 4:00 a.m. 
uh keeping an eye on stuff here, guys. Uh there was someone on Ruby this riding morning riding 
the hoticcom uh on a TT bike uh the entire route. We’re still sitting at 1 minute 41 seconds. 
Brian Kakard is almost 3 minutes behind the   Pelaton. How is that dude going to get back in? He 
is going to have to surf those cars so hard. Uh, and we are through the category 4 climb. Actually, 
we’re just getting to it right now. Uh, one point on tap. This is just going to be a roll across, I 
think. Just roll across it for one point. No one’s going to, you know, put a sprint in here. I can’t 
see it. Frank Carlson. Okay, Frank looks like a new dude here. Frank, welcome aboard. Welcome to 
the 400 400 people that are watching right now. That number changes all the time. Uh, finally, 
Skelemos is far enough back in the general so   he can get free reign, dude. Exactly. He’s 18th 
place right now. He could win if they get some more time before Hodiccom. Yeah, Skeleos is um he 
is their GC guy. He has been drifting the last few days. He went from 10th and he was he was sitting 
really strong in 10th down to 15th and uh I think stage 10 caught him out uh with all those cat 
2 climbs and now he’s 18th overall. But yeah, he does have free reign now to go for something. 
Uh shock saying these guys could pull a double trailer behind their bikes and still leave me 
in their dust in the hotcom. Yeah, dude. Like we   don’t even we’re not even anywhere close to these 
guys. They’re all genetic freaks. Um a lot I don’t want to say a lot of their cycling ability because 
someone’s going to get mad at me, but basically   a lot of these riders get recognized really young 
now. uh they do lab testing and they’ll say, “Oh, Colin, your V2 max is 45. Your average for uh you 
know, whatever. Uh and there’s this kid walking around and his V2 max is 85. It’s genetic, guys. 
It’s genetic before they even start training. Uh supposedly Greg Lemon’s V2 max was 93. Lance 
Armstrong’s was in the 80s. They didn’t start at 40 and train up there. Uh, I’ve seen various 
studies that say you can only develop your V2 max about five to 20%. It’s kind of a big range. Uh, 
but is that on top of your base number? I never figured that out. So, you know, if your V2 max is 
40, 20% on that would be another eight points. Uh, up to 48. Is that what they mean? That doesn’t 
seem very high. If your V2 max is 48, you’re   nowhere near these guys. Uh, I think V2 max for 
all these elite cyclists is probably like 80 plus. Uh, you know, very very high. I think some of the 
highest were over 100. I think there was a young dude, he was a young Norwegian cyclist. I think 
his V2 max was over 103. Uh, and I don’t want to crap on the guy at all, but I don’t think he 
really did much in cycling. So, he’s genetically gifted with it, right? is what you decide to do 
with it. Uh so yeah, you’re never going to get your V2 max to 80, but there might be a guy eating 
potato chips on the couch right now watching the   from home. Hey dude, uh he might be laying there 
with a V2 max of 85 right now and you and he’s never take gone to those athletic extremes. 
You X doing a lot of work on the front with EF they’re and Visma right behind them. Only one 
UAE rider in that front bunch right now. And this is the GC Pelaton, guys. That’s the GC Pelaton. 
Going to jump back here. Still 51 in that front group. Kakard, he’s actually doing a good job. 
He’s 2 minutes and 14 seconds behind. Uh, feel bad for that dude. He actually has an hand injury 
right now. Trying to hold on to those handlebars. Uh, okay. Robert, awesome. Uh, Robert, please join 
me for the women’s coverage of the tour to France I’m going to do. I mean, the more we watch it, 
guys, the better it gets. Uh, they know there’s interest. That’s the problem with a lot of Oo, I’m 
seeing this looks like this might be Lenny going off the front. Is this Lenny Martinez? This is the 
head of the course. Is he really going for his one   point? No, it’s not Lenny because he’s not in the 
polka dot jersey. I believe Lenny is in the polka dot jersey still. Is he in the polka dot jersey? 
Yeah, he is. So, that’s not Lenny Martinez, but his teammate gets the one point, takes it away 
from everyone else. Do they really have long range um dreams of keeping the polka dot jersey for 
a long time? Of course they do. Uh they’ve got it now. Let’s hold on to it. Robert here 
saying, “Women’s racing is good.” Lico Copeki,   such a star. Cashia New. Yep. Oh, she’s in 
Boulder, Colorado. Oh, I didn’t know that her husband’s Taylor Finny. That’s a dude that retired 
too early. Taylor Finny, I wish he would have kept   racing longer. Demi Volering, Longo Borgghini, 
who just won the Girodon. Yeah. Uh, Robert, I’ve been spending lots of time over on PCS, uh, 
learning all the female cyclists cuz I’m going to be honest, guys. I haven’t watched a lot either 
because there’s not a lot available to watch,   but I’m trying to find it all now. Okay. Uh, Tim 
Merier here for Sudal hanging out back in the cars. We are over the climb and the sprint point 
is coming up. This will not be contested. This is going to be for someone in the breakaway group. 
They’re getting there right now. So, I don’t think we really need to be too worried about that. 
None of the sprinters are up there to contest it. Uh oh, cool. Here, here’s a new guy. 
Love your name, dude. Ant Debiosi. Dude, are you related to Ted Deiosi? The million-dollar 
man. I love that last name. Debbiosi, dude. And I got that locked in. I’m got I’m dialed in on your 
last name, bro. I love it. Ant. Is it Ant? Yeah, it’s Ant. Uh I could have been Art there, guys. 
I’m on a tiny screen. Uh it’s about the size of a pack of cigarettes that I’m reading off of 
here. Uh who’s he still smokes these days? I   don’t even know. Uh this is his first Turder 
Francy’s watch. I’ve become a fan of cycling because of Matt Stevens caffeids. Dude, I 
love Matt Stevens. His hair, it’s insane.   Uh, it’s like how curly can her be? And I love the 
sport so far, but I have so many question. Dude, Mr. Debbiosi, if you know who that 
is, someone say in the comments. Uh, dude, ask any questions here. There’s so many 
knowledgeable people in this group here. Uh, we’ve got we’ve got another G, I think. So, this 
guy Cobra is asking if Gay is doing good. Uh, dude, he’s in the main group. He’s sitting where 
he should be. I think he’s going to be suffering   later today. Still 51 riders in our front group. 
Kakard has now drifted to three minutes 10 seconds back. Fortunately, he’s a sprinter. So, if he 
loses a ton of time today, it’s not a big deal, but it’s really going to hurt for him being that 
far back solo. Uh am watching them go through the sprint point and they were absolutely flying 
through there. Average speed still 50k an hour,   guys. 32 degrees Celsius. That’s 90 Fahrenheit. 
Really impressed by UNOX rocking the tour this year. right at the front. Uh, Uncle Traveling 
Maddie, which riders do you expect to see at the top of the first big climb? I guess it all depends 
how they attack here. Does Vizma want to go early? That’s the problem. If you go early and it doesn’t 
work, uh, you’ve kind of shown all your cards and then you might get a counterattack. You know 
what’s insane? They are sprinting at the sprint   part. Intermar is trying to grab the points here. 
over Alpasen. Uh sprint point an Intermar rider got it for Bingham. So he’s taking those points 
away from uh whoever else is trying to get it there. Going to have a quick look at that there 
guys. I want to see who got that sprint point.   This should show up. Yeah, I think his name is 
Lauron’s Rex. He wins the intermediate sprint and he did. It was an Alison rider. He uh outsprinted 
Vanderpool there. Vanderpool in that sprint. And uh yeah, T-Bone was there as 
well. First point of the day. Ah,   so it was Fred Wright for Bahrain 
Victorious securing that point, taking it away from anyone else because he’s 
protecting his the polka dot jersey that the   Bahrain Victorious team is currently 
holding in the form of Lenny Martinez. Dude, big climbs. Yeah, it could be any of the 
hitters up there. It could be a lesser known   rider, but at the rate we’re going right 
now, uh, one minute 51 back, unless some of the teams at the front start attacking, 
it’s going to be riders in this breakaway,   uh, that are going to get over the Calore 
first. Remember, this is the first category one of the of this year’s tour. Uh, there 
is a new guy here, Art, Mr. Debbiosi. Uh, all the climbs are categorized by their gradient 
and length. It’s kind of a combination of two. These are all like there’s actually you can go 
to websites and find out the the climb rating.   uh starts at 4321 and if you see the one at the 
end of the screen called the hoticcom it’s got an HC uh that’s a French word ors category which 
means above categorization it’s harder than anything out there uh generally those clims are 
going to be really uh long or a ton of climbing or kind of a combination of both but I always say 
like an HC climb is 1,000 m plus 1,200 m maybe it’s 15 to 20 km long. Again, it all depends on 
the gradient. And sometimes at the tour to France, uh it depends where that climb is along the route. 
So, a cat 2 at the beginning might actually become a cat one near the end. Uh they do change the 
ratings for the tour. Like, okay, the guys have already ridden 200 km. That cat 2 after 200 km 
is probably going to feel like a cat one. So, I’ve seen that happen. Yeah. Uh, Robert here 
saying, “Kard getting medical.” Yeah, it looked like he was shaking his hand, taking his gloves 
off, and they were taping fingers together. So, Kicard was getting medical. Yeah. Who knows? Maybe 
it was just a beasting. We never know. Uh, okay. Frank, you’re saying, “I just saw the route for 
the tour of Denmark. It goes right by our house.”   Uh, Frank, I’m going to do that race. I’m doing 
it. Uh, so what I did a few days ago at night, chilling out, guys, everything’s just staying 
stagnant here at 150. I’ll give you a chance   to catch up. I went back and looked at all last 
year’s races. And these other races like the Tour of Denmark, there will be a bunch of World Tour 
teams there. There’ll be a lot of pro teams there,   and there’ll be some really good continental 
continental level teams there as well. So, you’re going to see the developments of like the 
junior riders that are like basically one step, one race, one phone call away from making a 
World Tour team. So, I’ll be doing that. Yeah, Kakard has had some bad luck this year. And he 
looked pretty good, too. He was getting really   involved in the sprints. Had some good uh results. 
Unfortunately, involved in the incident with Yasper Philipsson. Hey guys, just so you know, 
Yasper has been in and out of hospital. Uh check   this out. Tomorrow he’s doing a group ride over 
on Zift, another inside cycling platform, guys. Uh so Anos is talking here. People are doing what 
they’re doing. They are not in the same situation   us. We are in a really really good situation 
and that’s what we need to take a little bit more responsibility. So great job Tobias Connor. 
Okay, Inos giving some motivational talks to the riders today. So tomorrow, Yasper Philipsson 
with that broken collarbone is doing a group ride over on Zift. So Alison team is they have 
some kind of relationship with Zift. You see Machu Vanderpool on there all the time. Yasper’s 
on there all the time. They have uh team workouts on and and lots of platforms do this guys, but 
with Zift, it’s Alpison, and that just happens to be Yasper. He’s doing a group ride together 
uh with all the Zifters that show up. I might   try to jump in on that one with them if it’s at 
the right time. Uh, this Pelaton here right now, guys, looks insane. Super stretched out. This is 
the GC Pelaton. Super high helicopter view here, but I can see all the pink riders on the 
front. So, that’s the Ben Healey group. Um, Robert saying Philippe Oana still pretty 
good at TT. Yeah, he is. Unfortunately,   he crashed out day one. Um, I think he’s the 
kind of guy if we had some old school time trials like 50 60k plus. That’s his thing right 
there. Uh, we’ve got Vlad Papcu here. Congrats, mate. I’m on Greek Island and no VPN can get me 
to watch uh TDF. Love your courage, dude. Vlad, thanks for being here. Uh, what Greek island are 
you on? Let us know where you are in the world,   dude. You’re hanging out with 400 people 
here right now. Uh, this dude, you’re bad. Rapad mountain climb is coming up, bro. WTF is 
happening. Where’s Pogy? Bingo. Ben, who dude? Uh, Bad Rapad. Uh, we’ve got a group of 51 out front. 
Really strong breakaway group. All the teams are up there. Pelon is 146 back. All the GC guys, 
Pogy, Vingo, Remco, they’re all in that chasing group at 145 back. Uh then we got Brian Kakard 
who’s been it seems like he’s been around forever at the tour. He’s trying to chase back on. He 
had a little bit of a I think he he had a hangail and uh he was receiving I’m just joking. He was 
receiving medical attention for something to do   with his hand or his fingers. It looked like they 
were taping fingers together to me. So I thought maybe a broken finger two minutes back. Thanks for 
being here, dude. Uh Frank saying, “Yeah, I would rather go on a 60k time trial than tomorrow’s 10.9 
straight uphill, guys. Tomorrow we’re going to see how Tatty really feels.” Uh is Tatty just going 
to blow through it and destroy the field? Is Remco going to light up the afterburners? Uh Remco’s a 
lightweight dude, too. I don’t think he’s a bad climber. And because it’s a time trial, he’s not 
reacting to anyone. He’s just doing his own pace. Uh, Uncle Trail, I can confirm the 1-hour drive to 
your groceries. I lived in Jasper, dude. Did you? Okay, cool. So, we got another guy here over on 
the west west side of Canada with me. Uh, Jasper, guys, it’s up in the mountains. Uh, it’s in the 
Rocky Mountains. It’s north of BA. You have to travel through BA, Canada. BA turn off before 
Lake Louise. head north, take the 90some up through the Columbia ice fields and uh you get up 
to Jasper. Jasper, unfortunately, had some brutal fires a couple years back. Uh that pretty much h 
wiped out half the town. But yeah, you you got a travel place to do things here, guys. Like people 
like, well, why don’t you just take some public   transport? Not one train near me. I need to drive 
one hour to even get a light rail transit to get around Calgary. Uh we just don’t have that here. 
You can’t get a train. Uh, it’s very difficult to take a train anywhere in Canada. There they 
are out there, but no one even talks about it. In fact, one of the coolest things where I live is 
all these little ghost towns that are out there. I   started I actually made a video about that a while 
back. It’s pretty crappy video, but I just visited little locations and talked about the history of 
the area. Uh, towns that have gotten new names and I discovered who the town was named after way back 
when. Uh, this is not that old, guys. 130 years old. But there was nothing out here. Nothing. 
Nature break for Yonas. Looks like Vout Venard is helping Yonas do a flying nature break, folks. 
Holding his rear saddle. Let’s get the camera zoom away. We don’t need to see the fishmonger in 
action. Um, but yeah, guys, it’s kind of like it’s the wild west out here still in places. Uh, very 
spread out here. Canada, 40 million people. Second biggest country in the world. Think about that. 
Uh, what is the population of France? I could look   that up. I bet you it’s like 50 or 60 million. And 
Alberta, the province I live in, is bigger with 5 million. The top half of our province, there’s 
nothing up there. Nothing. It’s just one gigantic sea of forest. All that’s up there is the tar 
sands way in the top corner. Uh, oil exploration. Uh there are some First Nations communities. 
There’s towns up there, guys. There are working   towns that support all those industries. Uh Trim 
Trader here. Hey, dude. Good to see you. What is wrong with Cous? Uh at this point, I don’t know. 
I did notice in stage 10 that when Jorgensson attacked that Tatty, he was right on Jorgensson. I 
think Tatty has a little I don’t want to say fear, but he is aware of how Jorg how good Jorgensson 
may be. Uh Jorgensson sitting fifth overall at the moment. When Jorgensson attacked, Tatty was on him 
so fast. Yonas is behind them. Uh but Jorgensson blew that entire elite group at the front apart. 
Cous got blown out the back. So did Kevin Vocalon. So, I don’t know how bad Cous is doing is maybe 
how good Jorgensson’s doing compared to the rest. Uh he could be a threat for a podium finish. I 
think uh we’ll see how that plays out. That’s the beauty of the tour to France, right? 
Uh CSC here, the roads in France are more   narrow and way more traffic circles on the open 
highway. Yes, indeed. Indeed, 100% correct. Uh Ruben saying, “Yes, Colin. Only toll roads are 
more or less good. Everything else is traffic   works. Okay. Toll roads just really aren’t a thing 
here, guys. We used to There’s a road we were talking about a guy like when we were in Denver. 
There’s toll roads forever there. Everywhere you   go, toll roads. Uh there’s a mountain road here in 
Canada. It’s called the co coca cocaala highway. It was built quite a long time ago now. 
and it really eliminated some treacherous   driving across the TransCanada Highway. So, 
the the old TransCanada Highway, it’s there, but people don’t use it now. They use the 
Cocaala. Uh you if you ever watch some of those weird shows on Discovery, you know, uh it shows 
some dude pulling like a rig out of a crash and it’s like blizzards and this that’s the Cocaala 
Highway. That’s where they film all that stuff. And uh it was a toll road. Once the road was paid 
off, tolls get turned off. That’s how it should be done. Stop bleeding people drive to drive down a 
road. They already pay taxes to drive down those   roads. Uh so that’s the only one I know of here. I 
think there’s a couple toll roads out in Toronto, but I don’t really know that part of the well 
world too much. Guys, I’m going to get back to the   racing here. Uh 51 riders in the front group, 74 
km remaining. Uh 147 gap. So, the guys up front, that group is so big, they can hold the Pelaton 
off even though the Pelaton’s driving hard. Brian   Cardard’s got it under two minutes now. Uh, we’ll 
take a look little look here. This was the sprint, guys. I’ll be able to show you this. Let’s 
do this coming up. This was the sprint. You can see the intermareteer rider here on the 
lefth hand side driving hard. And that’s Machu Vanderpool right there. Not able to get past him. 
Really cool to see that. I like seeing stuff like that because it just shows you that there’s 
a lot of really good cyclists out there. Um, but it’s just not their job to do that 
kind of stuff. They’re doing different things at the tour. That’s stage 
12. Okay, I got to get out of here,   guys. Let me jump out of here. Okay, close 
that down. We’ll get back to the stage itself. Okay, here we go. We use that one. Uh so yeah, 
Machu Vanderpool can be beaten in sprints. Uh the Intermar rider took him out there. Okay. 
Uh Jeff saying, “My stats are so impressive. I have a V2 max of five. I have many leather 
bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.” I’m kind of a big deal. Jeff, I love 
your humor, dude. I absolutely love it. Yeah, rich mahogany and old cigars. I love it. Um, 
probably has a stamp collection over in the corner and into the coins. Dude, I love all this stuff. I 
am not making fun of anyone that collects stamps.   I love stamps. I love coins. Uh, Frank saying, 
“The horrible thing about the hotcom is that there is not a single flat spot on it. If you go down 
there, you are done for.” And it’s I think it’s wide open all the way, too. Um, guys, I wonder 
if I could do something here in the background, too. Uh, I’m going to zip over here for a second. 
Going to exit this once we get into the climb. I think it’s going to be really cool to see 
this. But what I want to do over here, maps,   I’m going to try to pull this up for you guys here 
as I’m working in the background. Horrible typing, Colin. Horrible typing. I need an assisted 
here. See if it’ll show. Oh, it’s not even typing on there. Oh, Colin, you’re using the 
wrong keyboard. H man, I’m insane at this. So, I think I just closed my live chat down, 
guys. Uh, I’m going to have to relaunch that. We can close that. Yeah. So, I 
got to let this relaunch here. Uh, yeah. Three keyboards in action here, guys. All natural, all authentic 
on the fly. Uh, the hotcom. Let me see if I can figure this out here. 
So, there’s the ski station there. Uh, I’m looking at the hotcom here where I think 
they’re going to be climbing up through. Remember,   I’m just I’m actually looking at Google 
Maps right now. Bottom half looks fairly tried. The but the top third of the climb 
is all exposed. All exposed at the top. Uh, my stats are so impressive. Yeah. So, we got that. I see Mike’s already commenting 
here. Mike’s giving me a hard time already. Oh yeah, Frank’s saying the cool thing 
about this year’s tour of Denmark is   that Matt Person will be there. I saw him this 
winter on the track. Yeah, he’s impressed too, guys. Trek has a really good team between like 
Jonathan Milan and uh Matts Patterson like strong. Mark Fain’s in the mix. Hello from Sweden 
here. Also lots of driving to get anywhere. Yeah, dude. It’s just the way it is. Uh I understand 
that fully. Uncle traveling Maddie again. I think due to his crash, Yonas doesn’t take advantage 
of Pogy on the last climb today. I do think this climb is in Yonas’s wheelhouse. Okay. Yeah, longer 
climbs are better. Shallow pockets. You’re asking, is Alberta going to split from Canada? Uh they 
did do like a little mini I think there was a poll in the last provincial vote here. Uh 
they were talking about it. Mike’s correcting   me. Oil sands, not tar sands. Ah, oil torp, 
whatever, mate. Come on. But yeah, oil sands, guys. All the oil’s trapped in a sand up there. 
They cook it out. Uh, high heat, high pressure, cooks all the oil out. Boom. There you go. Uh, I 
know, guys. I did used to work oil and gas. Uh, now I’m an unemployed bum. But, uh, 
trying to get caught up here. Okay, I’m going to have to exit that, guys. I’m 
working off screen here right now. So,   I will come back to the stage here right now. 
Gonna have a quick look. People always say to me, “The oil sands are so huge. You can see them from 
space.” Guys, guess what? You can see anything   from space these days. Uh, take a look at the the 
oil sands up at Fort McMurray. Zoom way in. Yeah, it’s a big operation. Start zooming out. Take 
a look at the millions and millions of square kilometers uh or the millions and millions of 
acres of untouched forest up there. It’s just a sea of forest. If you were to go 20 minutes 
in either any direction from Fort McMurray, there’s no human beings up there. There’s nothing. 
Uh it’s trees, it’s swamps, it’s wildlife, it’s bears, it’s everything. Uh try going there up 
in the winter time. Minus 45 -50 Celsius. Uh okay. Yeah, right here. Uncle traveling Maddie. 
Uncle Traveling Matty. Give me some more of   your background. Driving four more hours to pick 
up things for work in Alberta is a normal thing. Yeah, dude. Totally. Uh Robertson, Eugene, Oregon, 
can smell Jeff’s apartment from here. That rich mahogany and old leather and cigar smoke. Jeff, 
people know what you’re up to. Uh James Delar from Corsica. There are four traffic circles just to 
get out of my small village here in Corsica. Uh okay. Oh, that’s top chat, guys. Yeah, cuz I I 
kind of messed up before on my screen here. Uh, we still got a 1 minute 40 second great back to 
the Pelaton. Brian Kakard, I don’t think he’s   getting back in today. He’s going to have to hope 
that there’s a bunch of riders just pile out of that group, which there will be. All the sprinters 
going to fall out. Brian Kakard, uh, not a top end sprinter. He’s going to get back in the group pedo 
at the back where all the guys are telling jokes   in the back, slapping each other in the back, 
trying to survive the time cut off for the day. Uh John Manion here, brand new commenter. 
Hey John, great to have you here. Uh he’s   from Galloway, Ireland. Galway Galway, 
Ireland. Uh the break right now is Oo, guys. Something’s going on. Okay. No, it’s just 
one rider. So 51 riders in the front group, 24 seconds back to It just says dropped 
rider. Uh, we’re about two minutes, one minute 40 seconds back to the Pelaton 
from the breakaway group. Sunflowers are out and they’re not really saying anything 
about Brian Kakard. What happened to   him? I don’t think anyone knows at this point. Uh, so we got Ireland here represented Neil 
Rushby. Yes, Neil. What? Neil always likes to bang it up with the whilst. Um, I say whilst all 
the time, guys, here at home and people look at me here in Canada, they’re like, “That’s not a 
real word, dude.” I’m like, “It absolutely is,   bro. Speak real English is what I say to them.” 
Uh, listening to you whilst watching the muted live coverage on TV. Neil, so glad you’re here, 
dude. Neil’s one of the OG bros over on Ruvie. Guys, I’ve been very absent from all of my race 
coverage over there. uh Ruby with the Muckers Worldwide Group. That’s kind of the the main race 
I do now. I haven’t done a GRC race forever. Uh that’s just timing for me nowadays. I Zift even 
I haven’t touched anything there for probably it seems like two weeks now. Maybe it’s been 10 days 
since the tour started. Yeah. Uh John here saying Ben Healey likes long climbs to 30. I think Ben 
Healey can easily keep the jersey today. I mean, why would you want to give it up? That team’s goal 
right now at night, guys. Keep the jersey. Keep the jersey. Do everything we can to protect 
Ben. Uh, it is a 29 second gap to Tatty. Is Tatty going to go on a breakaway today by himself 
when he crashed yesterday? I don’t think so. So, it would fall to what’s the pace like? Can Ben 
keep the pace? Ben’s specialty is climbing. He’s not a time trialist. He’s not a sprinter. Uh, you 
know, he’s not a guy you want breaking the wind for the smaller riders because he’s tiny. Uh, he’s 
got a really cute sausage dog, by the way. Uh, I’ve seen that in pictures. Uh, so yeah, Hotcom’s 
going to be good. Hodiccom is going to be uh John, thanks for commenting. Frank Carlson, again, they 
need to get a lot more time in the breakaway if   they if they want to fight for the stage win. 
Yeah, it all depends how they start turn. Like again, guys, there’s all these strategies 
going into this. This team’s doing this,   this team’s doing that. these guys got this 
plan. They all got to kind of mesh the right way to happen. Uh Vizma’s plan may be to wear 
Tatty down, but the breakaway that’s already out there may kind of throw that plan off. Uh how 
does Tatty react? Um are all of the Vizma guys 100% right now? How did they sleep last night? 
Did they get a crappy hotel? Like we don’t know all that kind of stuff. All the things you don’t 
see going on in the background. Uh Hank, another new dude here. He’s from Taiwan. Thanks for the 
coverage, Hank. Thank you so much for being here. You’re part of the group now. You 
are part of the Inside Cycling   World family here. Anyone that jumps 
in, uh please drop a like in. Okay, I’m going to close that up there just so I’ve 
got so much stuff going on here, guys. So much   stuff going on. Trying to get my situation under 
control here. Uh 1 minute 31 seconds, actually. from the 50 rider breakaway. So, guys 
are falling on it now. It’s starting to get sticky at the front, guys. Uh we’ve seen one 
rider drop out. It just said dropped rider. Now,   they’re actually identifying Edward Toyins here. 
He’s falling out. There was 52 in the front. Now, it’s down to 50. Uh actually, I think it was 51. 
So, Edward Twins is the one guy that’s out the back. Lead El Trek Rider, I believe. Yes, it is 
Elite Alrech Rider. Back to the Pelaton, guys. Everyone’s in the Pelaton. Brian Kakard’s the 
only rider out the back. 2 minutes 8 seconds. He knows he’s going to be riding with Jonathan Milan 
soon and Tim Merlier. He knows it. He’s probably a better rider on these climbs than they are. Uh 
he’s smaller, so he’ll get back up there. Uh okay. So, Uncle Traveling Maddie, I’ve traveled across 
Canada a few times. I worked in Jasper at Marmmet   Basin. Okay. That’s a ski area, guys. during the 
start of COVID. Uh lived in a Soyuse for one year. Uh guys, A Soyuse is in the very southern edge 
of British Columbia close to Vancouver basically touching actually I think the Aoyus Lake crosses 
the border. I think Uncle Traveling Maddie,   doesn’t it? That’s the warmest lake in Canada. 
Uh very kind of like a desert climate there. Very hot for Canada. And also from the longest 
freshwater beach in the world in Ontario. Dude, which beach is that? I think I know which one 
that is. It’s just gigantic. Uh yeah, it’s a very famous name that I just don’t know right 
now. Thanks for the stream. Yeah, you’re welcome, dudes. You’re welcome. I love doing this. Got 
close to 400 people here just absolutely loving   the cycling fans, people that are riding bikes. Uh 
doing some side stuff here, guys. I might whip up for another coffee. Really feeling like it right 
now. Just get fully powered up with the coffees. Okay, there that’s showing the end of the stage 
there. Uh head of the course. Oh yeah, this is cool. Yeah, this is really cool. They are climbing 
so good here. And I’m going to look at the map, guys. I’m back over on Bera now. I’m watching them 
climb right now. Watching them climb right now. And it showing things really good, too. Little 
towns nearby. You can see buildings nearby. Again, with over on bike terror, they keep the graphics 
really simplified so it can run on your browser   no problem. Uh I do want to take a look at 
the hoticcom again. I wish I could see the route here. Oh, I know what I’m going to do. Uh I 
wonder No, Colin, don’t use that keyboard. That’s the wrong keyboard. Okay, guys. We’ll go back 
to the race. I’m getting distracted. Uh multiple screens going on here. Uh 1 minute 42 seconds 
back to the Pelon. I’m going to go back to the   race commentary here. see if they’re giving us any 
news. Yep. So, Kakard was dropped. We already know that he he actually pulled over and stopped. Uh 
Edward Twins is waiting. The attackers are 10 km away from the start of the first Catwan climb of 
the tour to Francis here, folks. That was uh 4 minutes ago. So, they got 10k to get to the actual 
start of the climb. They’re already climbing. Um, oh, okay, check this out. Since 1947, the 
return of the race following World War II,   this is the 10th edition where the first 11 
stages didn’t feature a Cat 1 or HC climb. So, believe it or not, guys, it’s been pretty flat 
this year, if you can believe that. We’ve had   a ton, a swack of category 2 climbs. Take 
a look at the live tracking here. You can see where we’re going. We start digging our 
way into the Pyrenees themselves. Uh we are riding along basically two departments 
here. Uh we are in Novel Aquatane and we’re going to t pass over into I guess 
I’m not sure how you say Octatane there. And you can see how close we are to 
the French Spanish border here. We   don’t go into we don’t leave France 
at all this uh year’s tour to France, which is very strange. Usually we dip in and 
out of France. So they’ve kept everything   completely with inside of Francis 
here. Just keep it there for now. Uh, okay. Just reading back you guys. Cycling 
doesn’t work like it is going. People don’t tune in to watch a grand tour where the winner is a 
foregone conclusion. That’s why we love MV. Yeah,   dude. I love the breakaways. I love little things 
that stir it up. Uh it’s the stories within the story. It’s the battles within the battles. This 
goes all the way back to my cycling streams of inside cycling. The battles within the battles. 
I get to see all the people racing. Uh and I really get a kick out of showing dudes that are 
like, let’s say there’s 50 racers and there’s two people at the back in 45th place. How hard 
they’re working away at the back. No one ever   sees that. I do it myself. I finish the race, 
I’m like, “Okay, I’m done. I finished midpack, whatever.” Maybe at the higher end of midpack. 
Uh I jump off my bike, go up a shower, I’m done. There’s other dudes out there still 
slogging their way through it, and there’s no one ever to see that. Uh so I love showing those 
riders off working. Uh men and ladies alike. Uh EF does a really good daily video. You get to 
hear Charlie Regalius motivational speeches. Yeah,   lots of the teams have really good daily stuff. 
So, like just start searching the teams up. Uh, and EF is one of the best out there. I mean, they 
got all the Lachlan Morton stuff, too. All his,   uh, endurance rides, his adventure 
rides. Uh, but a lot of them have really, really good daily coverage. Uh, Vizma has a lot 
of good videos to catch up on all his stuff. Uh, Evard’s been here before. Tatty looked pissed 
after the crash. She might be on a mission to make   people suffer. Yeah, that’s what I thought about 
Tourbart. I thought maybe today Tatty might just put an attack in to say, “Guys, there’s nothing 
wrong with me.” Whether there is or not. Uh, he has to be feeling that impact. Again, 
guys, go for a drive today. Let’s say he was going 40k an hour, 25 miles an hour. 
Open your car door and just jump out. Do you think there’s any way you’re not going to feel 
anything the next day? Guaranteed he feels it. Uh Marge Shotty here, Marge Shot here saying 
Lake Superior. Uh then she’s saying Long Beach, BC. Okay, so we’re talking about 
the longest freshwater lake. Uh oh, dude. It really John here has the greatest 
might be one of the greatest comments I’ve ever seen. So we are technically on the call to 
solore now, guys. We’re on the call to solore. Uh I want to get you guys over here. I think we’re 
starting it now. Or that might have actually been saying call to 4.5 km away. Category one climb. Uh 
let’s take a look at the stats on it. Here it is, folks. It’s 11.8 km long at 7.3 uh gradient. Uh 
it’s going to give it like over 800 meters of elevation. So over 2500 meters of climb here. 10 
points available. Uh, Ball Rain’s gonna want to have to get someone up there to get some points. 
Now, I don’t know where Lenny is right now. Where is Lenny? Let’s look for some Ball Rain jerseys 
here. We know we saw one of the riders get a I think it was Fred Wright got a point earlier. 
Uh, so Brog’s up there. Lenny Martinez is in this group, so he’s going to be actively fighting 
here to protect this jersey. Uh, so yeah, John’s got one of the best comments here. The EF uh chef 
has Tom Sawyer on Ben Healey’s earpiece driving him up the hill. Guys, Tom Sawyer, that’s Rush. 
My favorite band. Uh yeah, check this out, guys. Check this out. Uh great stats from R. Stanley 
here. France, 66.6 million people. Alberta 5, Oklahoma 4. Alberta is bigger than France. That’s 
how spread out is. There’s not stuff everywhere here. Uh anyways, uh Uncle Traveling Matty here. 
I love this tour. I hope Woods does well. That’s Michael Woods. Woodsy for Canada, Israel, Premier 
Tech. I hope Pog I expect Pogy to win, but Vizma is super strong and Pog’s injury could get him 
tomorrow for sure. That’s what I’m thinking.   Maddie, who uh who do you think fight for the 
podium? Kenna Bora Rider. Uh I think Lipoitz could be up there. Oh, I’m seeing a small I thought 
that was a crash. The road narrow to about five feet wide there. I don’t know how cars get through 
that little bridge there. Uh the road that they’re on right now traveling up the Salore looks like a 
bike path to me. Uh I, you know, as uh a Canadian, as a North American, let’s just say that I think a 
lot of us would be terrified to drive these roads. Way too narrow. Way too narrow, guys. Uh there is 
a lot of pressure going on in both these groups right now. Looks like uh T-Bone is fall for lead 
alre has just fallen out. Whichever group he was in there. Uh trying to keep a look here. Okay, 
they’re saying there’s the riders left behind. 50 riders in the group. I think that might be still 
Edward Toyins in that group. 209 from the Pelaton up to the front of the field. Brian Kakard 143 
down now. He’ll get back on with those guys. Uh, okay. Okay. So, so I got some good points here. 
Uh, Christina Lake by Trail. Oh, really? So, Katrina Lake by So, Trail is in BC. Uh, Doug, 
just so you know, I did my I did a field school there. They had the big smelter out at Trail. I 
was out there for two weeks mapping some stuff.   I don’t even know what I was looking at at this 
point. Some kind of metallic ore deposit. So, I was out there doing that. Uh, that’s a long 
time ago now, folks. That’s 25 years ago plus. I always thought it was the Aoyuse Lake. So, 
I’ll look that up. Christina Lake. Okay. Uh,   Frank Carlson, what makes this year different 
is that six stages ends on the top of mountains. Normally is about half that. Yeah, they’re they 
always change the tour up. Always changing the tour up. It was common in the old days. Uh, and 
again, I’m going to back to that book. I I just overheard it. They didn’t used to do a lot of 
hilltop finishes or mountain top finishes. It was designed go over the top probably because 
there was zero facilities up there. Like nowadays there’s some facilities at the top of the termite. 
In 1910 there’s probably some goats up there uh and wolves. There there used to be wolves 
up there way back when uh probably even bears back in the day. Okay, watching things happening 
here now at the front. Uh this is the head of the Pelon. It’s absolutely being smashed apart from 
what I’m seeing here, guys. It is being smashed   apart now. 33 riders remaining in the front 
group. Uh with 16 already blown out the back, including Vanderpool, Matteo Trenton, uh I 
think this is Dylan Toys, Tobias Foss for the Grenaders. I just watched the Grenadier just 
fall out the back. Here’s T-Bonice, who we just watched fall out. Excuse me. Tudor Rider going out 
the back, too. The heat is on at the front, guys. Who is in this front group? Carlos Rodriguez, 
highest placed overall. Smart guy right there, folks. Uh 12th place, Gatan. He’s looking to get 
some time back. Ben O’Connor, nice move. Skeleos, uh Danish friends here. Skeleos is at 
the front here. 18th place overall. Bman, another good ride here. I think I mentioned 
a few days ago, this guy has been very quiet   just sitting in 20th place for Koffies. Uh 
here’s Aaron who did so well on stage 10 just showing Vanderpool go out the back now 
and I’m really going to rock the Vanderpool   from now on. Uh no longer Vanderpole. Uh I 
was corrected several times. I’m like, dude, I don’t know how you say it. Just tell me. Um 
okay, just getting back up here. Yeah. Uh, Mattie is agreeing here with Frank. The tour designers 
wanted to crush them. That’s how it’s always been,   guys. It’s always been the design of the tour 
to make it absolutely as hard as possible. Uh, the original tours had no teams. They’re like, if 
you have teammates, it makes it easier. No. Uh, the original tour, even though the derailure was 
developed before World War I, derailers were not allowed at the Tour to France until 1937. I had 
no idea about that. Why? Because the derailure makes it easier. I think in the old days, in 
the very old days, they were allowed to have   a double cassette. So, they’d have one gear on 
one side and one on the other, and they would flip the wheel. So, essentially, they had two 
gears. Uh, but an an active derailure was not allowed. I guess they probably had systems 
where maybe you could handshift your bike,   like just slide the chain over manually. I 
I don’t know enough about that stuff. Um, John saying, “I’m hoping he does as it 
is a perfect song for the Irish pocket   rocket.” I agree. Uh, Vizma works with with 
Tatty like a second team. Yeah, Brandon, good comments. You will see them working 
together like Pogy will just work ride with   uh Vizma. This looks like Mororrow Schmidt from 
yesterday. He was in the breakaway all day uh for team Jacob Alula. He is getting shelled 
out the back right now. Absolutely grinding here. All the other riders just rolling on by 
him. So he is fired out the back already. 26 riders in the front group starting to heat 
up folks. The tour to France is on. Lenny Martinez is up there. Castrio Zap Zapeder 
Rubo Reyes. Lot of teams still up here. Good size chasing group coming after them from 
the front to the Pelaton. It’s two minutes and 23 seconds at this point and we have a nice 
green jersey group formed. I am wondering if uh Kakard’s in there with him. If not, he should 
be he’s 42 seconds behind all his friends in the green jersey group. So, let’s take a look at 
these guys here. Uh Danny Van Pppel Bingham Germay Gron’s there. We know Milan’s there. There he is. 
Tim Merlier. They’re all there. This is the green   jersey group. They’re just going to survive to 
the end of the day, guys. Uh I’m going to bounce over here quickly. Got something else over here I 
want to see. I may have to totally refresh this. This is not working for me now. Just exit that. 
And I’m going to try to spectate this again. Maybe I can show you guys a bit of the 
climb here. That’s what I’m hoping to do. Oh, this is so cool. I wonder who I’m 
spectating right now. I don’t know. Uh, that’s the Pelaton. Here’s the head of the course, 
Ben Oconor. This group here. Okay, guys. I do want to show you this guys again. I really want to show 
this to you guys. Uh, hopefully this doesn’t take   away from the other things I’m doing, but check 
this out. We’re going to go back to Bike Terra now. The little app that could Let me get in here. 
So guys, right now, this is Bike Terra. Here is the climb. You can see it on the map in the bottom 
corner. This is the Caldor right now. You can see   the climb profile right in front of us. Uh this is 
the head of the group. I’m actually spectating Ben Oconor right now traveling at 22.4 km an hour up 
the hill right now. What’s really cool about this, it’s not, and again, it’s not going to show all 
the riders yet, guys. This is a work in progress. This is basically a beta test from them. Uh, 
this is just a trial that they’re doing here. Uh, but you can see all the riders right here. What 
I like about this is that I have camera control,   guys. I have the camera control. And this is 
what this is how my channel got started is doing race commentary like this. I know there’s 
a group not too far back cuz I just saw them. I’m trying to get both the groups on screen 
here. Uh, it doesn’t show all the riders, so that might be the hard part here. But then what 
we can do is, guys, I’m going to do this on the fly. This is all live. If it stalls out, it’s a 
trial, right? But this is something that’s really cool. I’m going to just bounce back to Steph Cass 
here. I find with all of the cycling platforms the big jumps uh and especially one that’s browser. 
So this one here bite is all browser based but you can see here it’s showing the topography. It’s 
showing the general trees that are on the side of   the hill. Are they the right trees? I don’t know. 
Is it the right type of vegetation? I don’t know. Uh also guys too I can say this. I’m on the free 
version here. The paid version, the 5.99 a month, the one bad coffee a month version. uh has a 
better drawing distance. They just released that. So, it’s kind of a way to encourage people 
to join the pay uh subscription. I can zoom in and out to watch the riders. I’m actually looking 
so you could see the climber coming up. Now, if I had the paid version, I would see all 
this road back here. The the increased drawn   is so good. Uh, and I thought I saw a second 
group of riders back there. I’m going to try to jump back to the Pelaton here, guys, and 
see what actually happens. Uh, if I can do it, I should be able to. And this might just be 
driver error here, guys. Here’s the card. Oh, I need to pick a rider. Let’s jump to Ben Healey. 
So, it’s going to populate everything here,   guys. Take a look at this. This is how it’s 
actually going down in the real world. Uh here we go. So obviously these buildings here, 
these blocks, guys, this is how they represent it. They’re not going to give you a detailed this 
is exactly what this house looks like. What I’m   seeing on screen here right now is there’s little 
groups coming back together. Uh looks like we got a rider off the front here. I don’t know who 
that is, but it gives you a good idea of what’s going on out there. I think this is going to be a 
really good spectating tools. I think Bike Terror   just stumbled into something really cool here. Uh 
I don’t know the guys. They’re super nice guys to me though. So guys, uh I appreciate you guys 
watching and stuff like that. So it’s showing   like little splits in the Pelaton. Uh obviously 
what you’re seeing here guys, this is not how many riders are in each group. Uh just little 
surges probably happening. Again, it’s all new and I think this will be refined. I’m trying to 
see if we can see any groups back here. So guys, I I love it. I love the camera control. It lets 
me control and show you what’s going on. Seems to be one rider dangling out front there. Uh guys, 
I don’t want to take away from the tour. Let’s get back to it. We’re going to go back here. So 
again, bike terra. Love it. We’re back here now, guys. Uh back up the call to take you back into 
the stats. So guys, that’s kind of what I do in the background too. When I’m not doing commentary, 
I’m doing stuff like that. I’m riding my bike on   those courses. Uh I did hear a rumor today from 
someone, I forget where Inside Source that said that entire event that’s going on right now live. 
So that’s live feed from somewhere to bike terra. There’s actually real world people like me 
riding it, riding the same course with them.   they’re actually going to keep all that recorded 
somewhere and uh you can replay it back and try to ride with them. Maybe you just want to take the 
call to soloron with uh the GC riders. Seeing a lot of Visma riders on front here guys. I am 
going to get back to this hard here now. Uh so Jay Taylor’s asking where are the daily 
EF videos, dude? Just look up EF education on   YouTube. Jack. Oo, Nikki Fortune. Do you think 
Pogy will get the yellow jersey back? I don’t think he’s going to get it back today. I don’t 
think he’ll go on the attack. I think Ben Healey   and EF are going to fight to the death to keep 
the yellow jersey today. That’s just my opinion. What does everyone else think? Oh yeah, Sheila 
here. Oh, Rush 2112. I listened to that album a million times. Guys, if you don’t know Rush, 
Canadian group, the greatest trio of all time. Uh you can watch people listen to them like new 
pe young people listen and they’re like there’s   no way this is three dudes. There’s no way. Uh 
Lenny Martina Martinez in the polka dot jersey. I don’t think he is smashing it on the front 
guys. I think Lenny has been discarded from that group. I think he’s just falling out of the 
group now. So Lenny Martinez, he is a climber, but he’s not having a great tour. He’s fallen way 
behind at the very beginning. He has the jersey. Uh he does have some good points. It depends who 
gets the other points. He may hang on to today. I think he has 27 points overall in that jersey 
right now, but he’s not in the front group. Carlos Rodriguez, Ben Oconor, Skeleos, Arenssman. Yeah, 
this guy. I like this guy right here. Uh who else is there? Par Pontra’s there. Sweeney for EF. EF 
guy placed way up ahead. Could come in uh handy for Ben Healey lately. lately later. Uh Bruno 
Armarel, this guy said he wants to go for it. He’s in that front group. Woods is there too. Michael 
Woods from Canada’s there too. Uh Movar Riders positioned at the front as well. Temperatures 
are dropping as we uh climb 29 degrees C. So yeah, uh King of the Mountains jersey is now 
124 behind that front group. Uh so he will not be getting 10 points at the top. uh best climber 
right now. There’s Lenny Martinez. Ben Healey is in second place at 16. Woods. So Woods is the 
threat to Lenny Martinez for probably today. Uh if Woods can get away and get this one and the next 
one. Uh I think this one is 10 points for first. That gives him 21 points. It’s going to vault 
him up there anyways. Will Wood stay away all   day? I don’t think so. Okay, we don’t need to see 
that one. Let’s just go back here. Pelaton overall is 1 minute 50 seconds back behind the leaders. 
And then we’ve got our green jersey group just floating to the back, guys. And what’s crazy is 
look at this. Uh okay, well that didn’t show that, right? They showed a different group. 91 riders 
back here. More than half the pelaton right now is uh five minutes behind the leaders. So, 
this group is just going to float along at the back and do their best to hang on. Let’s 
get into the live tracking here. Here is the uh the sineuous snaky climb up the Salure. Look 
at us coming. Look at us backtracking here on this uh little bit of a switch back here. A little 
bit of a switch back, guys. I’m going to do something here right now in the background. 
See if I can see this. I want to get to the   head Harry Sweeney here, guys. Amazing stuff 
here. I guys, I have to show you this. I’m sorry. I have to show you this. Take a look 
at this right now. Oh, I just butchered that, didn’t I? I want you to see something here right 
now. This is amazing to me. We’re seeing basically live footage. Here is that crazy really hard 
switchback I was just talking about. It’s right here. Harry Sweeney off the front. According to 
uh the data we’re getting from uh by Terra here, guys, by Terra, you guys rock. I hope you guys 
like this. This is fantastic. Uh, guys, let me know what you think. Guys, tell me some comments 
what you think about what you’re seeing here. Uh, I think this is such an incredible tool for me to 
use as a amateur commentator. It’s saying Harry Sween’s out front. Guys, I got to have a look 
at this. My mind’s kind of blown right now by   how good that worked, guys. Bike Terry, you just 
killed it there. So guys, what I was showing you there, oops, I was showing you this switch back 
right here. I can’t zoom in anymore, but the main group is through that. There’s that crazy switch 
back there. I’m going to do it for the next group,   too. You guys let me know what you think of that. 
Uh, where is Harry Sweeney now? I don’t see him here, but you know, guys, it’s thereabouts. Uh, 
coming back here, I I want to make sure I’ve got you guys. I need to double check. Everything’s 
good. We’re good. Joey likes the bigger camera.   What do you guys think? Let me know. Wrinkles are 
looking good. Hair. Oh, look at that. I need some uh uh moisturizer on my face. Never do that. Just 
dry. Absolutely dry. Uh looking over here at the Chasing Group, the GC Pelaton. I’m thinking I’m 
see I think I’m seeing one septus on the front. Still seen some There was a Breaton flag there 
just flying. Uh, UAE rider just being shelled out the back right now, guys. Trying to figure out 
which group I’m looking at here. Victor Campon, he’s departing as well. Guy wears a lot of 
sunscreen. Uh, so what I’m seeing live here, uh, we’ve got three Vizma riders on the 
front. Tatty’s in fourth place. Yonas   right on his wheel. Looks like another UAE 
rider and Ben Healey. Uh, so the hitters, the bangers, they’re all at the front there, 
guys. All at the front. I’m going to jump back   to Berra when they get to that next switch 
back and see how live it is. Bike Terra, you got something really cool here. 
Really, really cool, guys. You rock. Guys, drop some comments here um about what you were 
seeing. So, is known as the hottest place in   Canada as it is a desert. The longest what? That’s 
right. Wasaga Beach, southern tip of Georgia Bay. that name. I wouldn’t have been able to say 
it, but as soon as you say, I’m like, “Yep,   okay, makes sense.” Uh, John Manure, any Terry 
Brown albums? Peak Rush. Okay. I’m not sure who Terry Brown is. Uh, so the hottest city old ELO 
electric orchestra albums have aged very well. Didn’t love it back then. Do now. I think Elo 
is probably like a Prague rock, which I love. Yes, dude. Avar’s in here. A tour director said 
derelos were for old weak men. Yes, they it had to be as hard as possible. Oh, I’m just watching 
someone here for one of the teams absolutely come to a complete standstill. I thought he was going 
to tip over the uh the GC Pelaton. It’s probably less than 30 riders now. Just seeing another rider 
bail out. That looks like a total energies rider maybe. Uh could be Sudal. Yeah, it’s an Inos 
rider that just turned over. Uh, he might fall off the cliff here. It’s number 65. I think he’s 
doing about 1 mile an hour. Just spent head of the course now. It looks like another Inos rider here. 
Hard to tell at this distance. Decathlon right at   the front, too. So, this is the very very front 
of the group, guys. Uh, let’s get back here. Guys, I’m dying to grab another coffee, too. What I’m 
going to do is I got to hang on all the way,   don’t I? How far are we to the top of the 
finish? Uh I don’t know what I can do here. I can figure this out real quick. Uh gap right 
now looks like it’s about 140. Is it? Yeah. So, we got 15 riders in the front. The GC group is 
just devouring all the other riders. Remember, there was 52 riders in that front group at one 
time. They’ve all gone. They’re all being passed   by uh the yellow jersey group. 18 riders in this 
group. Ben Healey in yellow jersey. Tatty Vingigo, Matteo Jorgensson, Oscar only, Florian Lipowitz, 
Oh, Roick, remember he was supposed to retire, right? Uh, he’s still in that group. Uh, 
Johansson, Felix Gaul, Jonathan Narvez, Seep Cous is there, Simon Yates is there, uh, 
Christian Rodriguez. I always flip these names around. Looking good here. T Bonut, Adam Yates. 
Oh, Adam’s hanging in there. That’s good. Mark Solair. So, looks like Tatty’s got two riders with 
them. Um, so we’ll see how they hang in there. Py Sagera. Uh, I think at the rate they’re climbing, 
I could probably go grab a coffee right now. Thinking about that. Let’s see the commentary what 
they’re saying. Ivanapole. Ivanapole is with Van Waller. They are 20 seconds behind the GC group. 
I think Avanapole was suffering early today. Okay. Okay. And they’re talking about Aaron. 
That’s that time in Aaron’s guy for NES Grenaders.   He looked great on stage 10. Yeah. So, they 
are talking about Venipole now being dropped again. They never mentioned him earlier. Uh Lenny 
Martinez. I saw this just happening before this picture here. This here is over on Twitterx. Uh 
this was the look on the polka dot jerseys face knowing he was going out the back. He’s going 
to hope that maybe one of his teammates is up   front. I don’t think there’s any left uh to try to 
secure those points. And what I need to do too is I need to keep an eye on uh Sorry, guys. Lots open 
here. Lots open here because I really want to show you that again. Oh, the yellow jersey just went 
through, guys. Let’s do it again. One more time.   This really makes me giggle to myself. Uh I got 
to make sure that it’s actually live right now. It might have stalled out because I wasn’t in there, 
but here we are. Okay, it’s going to refresh itself. It’s going to refresh itself. So, what 
I’m going to try to do now is I’m going to try   to go back to Alexander Vlov. Uh, and if you look 
here, okay, I think I’m too far behind that switch back. You can see that this is showing us the main 
Pelaton just absolutely blowing apart right now. Uh, I sh I will say I don’t know if all the 
positions are perfect, but it kind of gives you a good idea as to what they’re climbing up. 
I’ll jump out of there again. I actually missed   the switchback that I wanted to show you again. 
So, I’m going to look for something really cool uh on the profile that I could show you guys. And 
guys, this is what you can do inside. uh you know, you’re sitting around, you’re watching the tour, 
maybe you’re not doing a lot of sports anymore,   maybe you need to work on losing 10, 15 pounds, 
maybe your cholesterol is a little bit high. You can do all this cycling on the coolest terrain. Uh 
and trust me, you can do it. If I can do it, guys, I’m 6’2, uh probably rocking over 200 lb right 
now, and uh I can get up these hills. No doubt, no problems. I can do it. I’ve done it. Um, 
yeah, I love the question. Drillers are for weak men. I love it. John Man is asking, “How many 
riders are with uh Ben Healey right now?” So, back here in the chasing group. Oo, the yellow 
jersey has been isolated with Simon Yates. Pogy and V uh Vingo are ahead. Now, we might have seen 
that happening on Vera. I just saw the whole group   just splinter before us. So, we got Pogy there. 
Vingo, Matteo, Jorgensson, Oscar only, Lipoitz, Roick, Johansson, who’s 10th overall. This guy’s 
been in 10th place the whole race, it seems. Uh, that 10th place for Yunoex means like a lot to 
them. Felix Gaul, Narvz, Septus. Uh, there’s a lot of Visma firepower here, but there’s also 
some UAE guys. Uh, so there’s no EF guys in the uh kind of the elite group. the yellow jersey. 
Now it’s Velasco and Ben Healey. So Ben’s holding on. Seeing this early on, I may be completely 
wrong that Ben would keep his jersey today. He may be losing it. He’s already uh guys, he 
is only one second behind though. One second behind. There is a 141 gap from the front end 
of the group of the Pelaton today to the yellow jersey. So it’s 141 now going back. We’ll jump 
to this map. I’ll try to show it to you here. Here’s our front group of 15 riders. I need to get 
some camera footage here what I’m seeing. Uh yeah, so here’s our front group. I’m going to try to 
find a really neat spot. You know what? Right   about here might be really cool to see on Bike 
Terra. Uh so again, you’re watching Tur friends. You’re not riding. Why aren’t you riding, guys? 
Why aren’t you riding your bikes? Uh ride your bikes. Uh you can do it all from inside. Uh 
there’s lots of reasons to ride your bike inside. Way safer, way more convenient. Um instead 
of you being away from home for hours on end, you’ve got a family, you’ve got a wife, you’ve 
got kids, you’re just down in the basement. You’re   just tucked away in the basement, you’re at least 
you’re home. You’re not out on the golf course for uh six hours playing two rounds of golf. Uh 
trust me, they like that better. Trust me, guys. Uh, looking at the field here, Yonas looks good. 
I’m seeing Simon pushing on the front here. So, I I expect Simon Yates to be trying to go for 
the win today. Uh, if he goes, I don’t think Tatty will react, but it’s going to put Simon way 
up the road. Uh, that could help Yonas out later on. Let’s see how well the the UAE guys handle it 
here. Uh, 50. I’m looking at my distance there. I’m looking at the distance over here, guys. 
Uh, I’m about 700 meters behind. That front elite group that Ben’s not in anymore. Uh, it’s 
maybe 15 riders and I just see one rider peeling off the back right now. Could have been a group 
hama rider. Where is Ben Healey right now? Uh, he’s 10 seconds behind, guys. He’s fighting 
for it. Okay, I’m going to catch up here now, guys. Um, yeah. So Ben is by himself. I don’t 
see any riders with him. Okay. If you come, he does have Okay, so Harry’s back. So Harry 
Sweeney was someone they sent up the road early today and it looks like he’s been drifting his 
way back down. Now he’s with Healey. So he can give him a bit of support even it’s just a mental 
thing. Uh Serio Hagida here, Colombian rider from Aana. Those three are riding together. Uh then we 
got the white jersey of of Aventipole having a a bad day today. He’s 42 seconds behind uh riding 
with Baru Bargui and his teammate Van Wilder. Oops. Okay. No, stop that. M Martinez 
is just falling all the way down. Oh, he’s had his days in the polka dot jersey, folks. 
Uh just doesn’t look that great at this year’s tour. The green jersey is nine minutes behind uh 
92 riders. More than half the tour is in the group that’s way behind with the heat that’s being 
put on at the front. Temperatures drop to 26   degrees. As we go up, temperature goes down, guys. 
That’s how it works. Skeleos in that front group, guys. Five riders in the front groups. 
Okay, now it’s become six. Skeleos Garcia   Punior for Archa. Uh Aurelion Peripontra for 
Decathlon. Bruno Amarela for Dathlon. Dude, he said he was going to do something 
today. He’s out there. Michael Woods for   Premier Techch. Uh and looks like Michael 
Store for Tudor. So teams getting to the front. So the most dangerous guy here 
is Skeleos. He is 12 minutes 45 down. Uh taking a look at the map again. Can I see 
this here? Here’s that CR right before the Cat 1. There’s a couple of nice curvy swervbacks. Uh, I 
might go hang out there for a little bit. Probably too close for me to grab a coffee right now. I 
need coffee service down here, please. Thank you. Um, swoosh kid, I fear that as if Borehangers 
has fallen to a Moverstar role. No stage wins or podiums. I’m hoping they can pull something 
out here. Uh let’s hope Lipoitz and uh Roger can get up there. One of the old tour riders was 
disqualified. You had to repair your own bike. He had to fix for some work in a smithy horse. That’s 
right. That’s right. He had to weld his bike back together and there was someone there that did the 
bellows, you know, the the blowing thing where you   squish that little accordion thing together and he 
got disqualified for that. Uh John Chady here. Hey John, good to see you. The bike tier is a pretty 
cool add-on to your commentary for those of us   that can’t watch the tour. Dude, I think it works 
really good. And again, anyone that’s watching it. Oh, I’m seeing an Israel Premier Tech going out 
the front. I think Woodsy, uh, is this the head of the course? This is the head of the course. I 
think Woods is trying to go out the front right   now. That might be slightly delayed where the 
group blew up from 15 to 5. Uh, 48.7. Yeah. So, my stream I’m 500 meters behind the actual live 
stream. I’ll take a look who’s left in that group. Down to three riders here. Armarel, Michael Woods, 
Michael Store, Australian writer, Canadian, and Aral I think is French. He is French. Let’s go, 
dude. Today’s your day. Get this category one. Get this category one. Dude, you know, as a Canadian, 
by default, I’m voting for the Canadian. I’d love to see Bruno Amarell take this category one out. 
Uh just because I’ve seen him do a lot of work. He did really good in the time trial. I don’t 
know if he’s a little bit too big to hang with the smaller riders here, but we’re going to see it go 
down. Uh it’s an 18-second gap to Skeleos, Paron, uh Garcia, and Rubio here. Let’s take a look 
at the Vingo group. 16 riders. I think I said 15 before, so someone might have came back. For 
UAE, we’ve got Tatty. We’ve got uh Jonathan Arvay, Adam Yates, and Solair are still there. For Vizma, 
we have Vingo, Matteo Jorgensson, number fourth and fifth in the race. That just jumped away 
from me, folks. We got Vingo, Jorgensson, uh, Septus, Teon is still there. Okay, Simon Yates. 
I don’t know where he is. Where is Simon Yates? I saw Simon pressing at the front before. 
I don’t know if he’s gone in between. Okay, here’s Perry Ponch following. Uh, yeah, I’m not 
sure where Simon Yates is right now. Is he in this group back here? No. Healey is riding with 
Sweeney. So, they’re trying to give uh Healey some   support now. 56 seconds back. He is now out of the 
yellow jersey. Uh, he only had a 29 second lead. Ben Healey uh unfortunately looks like he’s 
going to lose the yellow jersey today. Ben must be struggling because I’m seeing uh Harry 
Sweeney keeps looking back at Ben right now. Like actually checking up on him. It looks like uh and 
on the front here I think that’s Sepkus. Hard to tell. Hard to tell from this distance here on 
the camera. Uh let me get to the chat, guys. Frank, thanks for being here, dude. Frank had to 
run. Had to jump out. Uh oh, wow, guys. You guys are so busy in this chat. I absolutely love it. 
Keep it coming, folks. Almost 400 people watching.   Uh oh, wow. I’m missing a lot. Uh John saying, 
“Bike chair.” Yeah, I think bike chair is great. Uh guys, can I do it one more time? Will you 
let me do it one more time? Here’s the category   one climb, guys. I’m going to do it one more time 
when they get close there. Uh Jay Taylor, is Tim Well in lead? I don’t think he is. I think he’s 
further out the back here. Uh, Brandon, the app is so cool. Live coverage 3D. Exactly, dude. And 
I’ve done all the apps, guys. I’ve done race I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of race videos. Ruby, 
my whoosh, Zift. Uh, I’ve only done a few Bike Terra videos. Um, I’ve only done a couple of Bike 
Terra rides. Uh, I first wrote it last November and I’m writing so many different platforms to try 
to evaluate them all. I don’t get enough on one   platform, but yeah, they’re on to something there. 
And those other platforms, they can’t do it. I’ll tell you right now, what I’m doing here on Bike 
Terra, you can’t do on the other platforms. I   can’t show you that live tracking. I can’t show 
you their locations. So, group one here, we’ve got five riders. What we’re going to do, guys, just 
bear with me again. I’m way behind in the chat. I’m desperate for a coffee. I’m going to see if 
this is going to refresh on the fly. Uh jumping in and out like this. Yeah. So, you can see here Matt 
saying himself, “Hey spectators, if you see this, make sure to reload the page periodically. There’s 
some desync sync issues we’re looking to guys.   This is a very very small group uh that developed 
this. Let’s go to the head of the course.” Head of the course. Um I’m just going to jump on. Oh, 
that’s the Pelaton. Sorry guys. What I’m trying to see is I’m trying to see the curves in the 
road. That’s what I’m trying to see. That’s about all I can zoom out right now. And again guys, 
I’m not even on a paid subscription. Actually,   you know what? If you look closely here, 
my drawing’s not good. I can see riders in the distance up here. So, it is showing them. I’m 
just waiting for this to refresh. Here we go. Uh, so spectating Michael Woods is right at the 
front here. Spectating Michael Woods right now. Uh you can see this climb coming up. Just going to 
hang out here for a little bit, guys. Uh watching Sweeney constantly looking back at Ben Healey 
here. Campers are out, guys. It’s pretty wide open on this climb. Uh what I’m seeing on screen here. 
Uh there’s no trees. There’s bushes and stuff like that. I think uh Berra browser base is doing a 
really good job showing this. Uh again, guys, sometimes the groups aren’t shown to perfect size 
yet. What I’m going to do here, too, is I’m I can zoom in on the map and figure out where I am. Uh, 
okay. So, we’re up here. Here’s those, remember I was saying before those squiggles. The top of the 
climb is up here where you can see the little icon   on the bottom right hand corner. And it shows you, 
too, they’re doing a 10% gradient here. Watching Michael Woods attack. That’s probably from the 
past. I’ll go back to the real world stuff,   guys. Uh, we’re going to come back here. Do this. 
Bingo bongo, guys. Trying my best here to get it all. They are going through uh the curvy swervies 
now. Kind of like really broad switchbacks. Oops, I’m in totally wrong place there. Let’s get 
zoomed in if we can here. Who do we have? Skeleos, Armorale, Woods, Stoer, and Rubio. So, 
a couple of the guys have came back up. Looks like here I’m watching 
a slightly delayed 47.6.   six version of Woodsy going off the fronts. 
Uh trying to figure this out, guy. Yeah, for so I’m about 600 meters behind. So it’s going 
to all come back together. Poggy and those guys   are 151 behind. This group’s growing behind. Uh 
let’s take a look at the Pogy group again. Uh it went from 16 riders up to 21. And probably a lot 
of that’s going to be riders that are filtering back down. They’re picking up riders as they’re 
going up. People aren’t coming up from behind.   really good Adam Yates hanging in there right 
now. Uh we saw Castrio Zapeder in the front end earlier. These guys filtering back down are 
going to be able to help their GC guys uh or who whatever their intentions are today. Help bring 
them back up a little bit. Yeah, looking at the   screen over here. It’s wide open. Wide open on 
this climb. Beautiful people everywhere, folks. See who’s going to go to the top? They’re guys, 
they’re at the top right now. Michael Woods. Looks like Michael Woods might be at the very top. 
Last kilometer. Woods is about to cross the   Caldor. Michael Woods for Canada. Uh probably 
one of the oldest dudes in the race right now. How old is Michael Woods? Yeah, guys. He’s 
38. He’s 38 years old. Uh 30. Is he 39? Guys, I can’t do the math in my head 
right now. I’m sorry. It’s 2025.   Yeah, he’s 39, I think, or he’s 39 this year. 
Uh 38 anyways, probably one of the oldest guys in the race. Looks like he’s taken the call to 
as we speak. I’m going to look for some footage here. They’re saying he’s in the last kilometer 
of the ascent. So, they’ll be up over the top.   I might bounce back to the other guys to show 
some of that cool 3D footage. Uh again, guys, I can’t show you that any other way. So, 
Michael Woods is over the top by himself. Where is group two? So, I think Michael Woods is 
completely by himself now, guys. He went on an   epic attack here. This is a bit delayed. Michael 
Woods is by himself up front. Uh, with a pretty good size gap on those behind him. Back to the 
race here. Uh, they’re saying it’s an 8second gap. It looks bigger than that. 8second gap. 
Back to Skeleos. Skeleos chasing. That’s Trex’s highest place rider in the GC at the moment. So 
now Michael Woods is going to be bombing downhill   folks. Let’s work our way through. We got five 
riders. These guys were climbing with Woodsy before. There’s Omarel. I talked about uh Perry 
Pontra’s there as well. Dather riders represented really well at the front today. Now what does 
Michael do? Does he go on a long range attack? Bomb the hill down, take the category 2 Cus 
Border U and then take on the Hodicon by himself. The Pogy Group, 22 riders, getting bigger, more 
riders jumping in. Uh, everyone’s looking good. They’re really focusing on Woods as he takes the 
top. He’s just taking the top right now on the   on the stream. Wonder if I can speed that up a 
little bit. And after this, guys, I’m running for that coffee. Uh, 22 riders here. Oscar only in 
the front group of 22 riders. Oscar only with the hitters. Lipawitz with the hitters. Rajlick who 
should be retired according to some not me with the hitters. Uh that’s they’re in fifth, seventh, 
eighth, ninth place overall. Gaul’s up. Okay, there’s G. Yeah, there’s Gauls up there. Sept 
Cous is there. Simon Yates Arenssman really good here. I’m glad the Solair and Yates are hanging 
in there. Uh Ben Healey struggling. He’s got um Okay, got to read this guys. Got to read this. 
Uh, okay. I missed the radio there, but Okay, here it is here. Good boys. Well done. Keep Okay, 
come on. Keep going. Cheering them on, but I think Ben Healey is really suffering here. Uh, it’s 
showing Harry Sweeney pouring water bottles   over his back. Harry looks to be the stronger 
rider than Ben right now. Uh, unfortunately. So, Ben will be dropping down today. Uh, looking at 
the feed here, three Vizma riders and a bunch of whitish colored jerseys. That’s going to be all 
UAE riders. There’s Tatty. I can see this champion stripes there. World champion stripes. Uh you X 
rider just sticks out perfectly for me. There is a fourth uh Vizma rider a little bit further 
back. The group I’m seeing Yeah. It’s it’s a small group. 22 riders. Yeah. Uh Woodsy uh just 
screaming downhill solo. Run buddy run. Man, this is his kind of stage two. His kind of stage two. 
Woodsy all always pulls it up. Pretty gutsy rider. uh came to cycling late, came from a running 
background. Uh one of those guys uh fresh stress fractures in the feet. Uh I’m going to start 
cycling. Okay, guys. I’m catching up here. Uh Johnson, if you could overlay 
the Vera on the official TDF screen,   would be nice. See the official info with 
some video. John, I probably can. I could probably like merge those windows together. 
What I did today though, cuz I’m like, okay,   what if it blows up in my face? I’ve got it as a 
separate uh window alto together so I know how to click them on and off. I could have that thing 
in the bottom corner here right now. I could be showing it at the bottom corner right now. Uh 
so I might do that. Uh someone here is saying fake. Shame on you. Okay. See you later Audi. Uh 
I don’t know what you’re saying is fake here. Uh Jeff saying it’s only beautiful if you don’t 
have to race up the top with guys who have an   entire team. Yeah, exactly, guys. Just under 
400 people watching. Thank you so much. So, Woods went up that climb at 21 km an hour. Uh Jay 
Taylor’s moving to Oregon soon. Just talking to uh Robert there. Dawn’s back. He’s got the 
kitties at their events. Let’s go. Poggy on his arrowike. Yeah, they talked about that a few 
guys on his arrow bike. Matty’s guessing that uh Pogy’s going to win stage 16 to take 
yellow. Okay, so he’s going to take it later. Uh, Dawn saying how he will take note of that 
prediction. Sounds good. Is that the volunte   stage, guys? Matty cheering on Woodsy. We all know 
Woodsy here. Remco’s having problems. Fizman go hard. That’s Niche 1981, guys. Let’s go back here. 
Yeah, you can see it here. Uh, it’s saying now Woodsies with Amarel and Skeleos. Uh, we probably 
got two psycho descenders. That’s one thing, man. If you can go downhill fast, you can bring back a 
lot of time. So, Amarel is with Woods and Skeleos. Woods might appreciate the support up front with 
them. 15 seconds back, we got Store and Rubo. Uh, it’s almost two minutes behind the leaders right 
now. Uh, the hitters, the bangers, they’re all here. 22 riders in this group, folks. Uh, jumping 
back, Remco is 36 seconds behind Pogy Group right now. Remco third overall, riding with Warren Bar, 
and he’s isolated by himself. Uh, he doesn’t have any teammates with him. Uh, yeah, they need to get 
some teammates there. This was one of the problems that we all knew about before the tour started 
that Remco, you know, whatever you want to say, top three, four rider in the world, his team’s 
not strong enough. There’s no uh Sudal riders ahead of him. No one can even drop back to help 
him. Uh he’s the strongest guy on their team and uh all his teammates are behind him. Ben Healey 
still riding with Harry Sweeney here. Uh they’re two minutes behind Remco. So Ben Healey is 
going to plummet down the standings today, folks. Uh the actual king of the mountain is 
even further back. Just drifting out the back. four minutes behind the yellow jersey group. And 
then we’ve got, now guys, this is from the front   to the back. The group of 90 riders, half the pel, 
more than half the pelon is 9 m, sorry, 14 minutes almost 13 minutes and 50 seconds back up to the 
front of the group. That’s how much time they’ve lost already. Uh, just get some stats here. 245 
is the gap that Healey has to uh the GC group. Uh Avento was 45 seconds behind Tatty 
and those guys. And right here they’re   saying it too. Uh impressive downhill 
from the Decathlon rider. He got back on to Skelemos. He got the Skeleos and now 
they’re about to catch wood. So this Armarel guy representing Dathlon wants to be at the 
front today. In fact, what I’m seeing here,   Armarel has pulled ahead of Michael Woods. 
Guys, descending at this speed is uh hectic, scary. one wrong move, your uh season’s over. So, 
that’s what we got to remember. These are normal dudes riding in their underwear essentially uh 
down paved roads at 70 and 80 km an hour. So, you know, they’re about to start the next climb 
as well. Guys, I think it might be coffee break   time here. Let me go do that. I’ll be back as 
quick as I can. I think I need about 90 seconds. All right, riders back into the mix here. 
Here I come in incoming. Coming in hot in the pipe 5×5 with the hot coffee, folks. 
Uh, let me get quickly caught up. Riders are now climbing the second category 
climb of the day called Borderas. Uh gonna catch up on the cat chat you guys. I’m 
way behind now. Uh stage 16 m on two. Yeah. Okay, guys. Thanks for that. Yeah, the group’s really 
shrunk down, guys. So, yeah. So, uh right now, Bruno Almill off the front. I’m sure Woodsy and 
uh Skeleos are just a few seconds back. Actually, you know what? Check this out. They’ve lost 26 
seconds on the descent. Brunoal is out to prove something today, folks. these uh lower budget 
teams can uh field some pretty impressive riders store there. Let’s just check the uh GC groups. 
They should be sticking together. In fact, they   should be consolidating. I thought we would have 
seen more here. Still 22 riders in the main group. Take a look at this. Uh Remco has pulled back half 
of his time loss on the descent. He was 45 seconds behind Tatty is now to 23. There’s a chance 
Ramco might get back on board with them. Uh, yellow jersey keeps drifting back. 244 back 
uh from from the Pogy Group. Let’s let this stabilize here, guys. Uh, okay. Going to catch up 
here. I might have to zoom forward here. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Remco is out the back, guys. Uh, not that 
bad, though. He’s It looks like he’s recovering   now. If I’m looking at it here, you can see here, 
uh, 22 riders in the Tatty group. It’s 23 seconds back to Remco. I’m sure he will be frantic to get 
back on. Hopefully, he’s being careful there. Uh, oh, John’s talking about Terry Brown, 
album producer. Okay, I’ll look into that. Uh, Vizma is Jay Taylor. Vizma is controlling 
the the GC group. There’s only 22 riders in that group. Uh, but there are UAE riders there as 
well. Let’s take a look. Tatty’s there for UAE. Should be Solair should still be there and Adam. 
So, there’s three UAE riders there. Uh, we got Vingo Jorgensson there. Uh, just looking to see 
where SE is. Seuss is still in that group. Simon Yates is still in that group. T Bonut. So, there’s 
five Vizma riders in that group. So, the biggest represented team there is definitely Bisma. Uh, 
actually they are showing Is this Remco here? Hard to tell. It is Remco. I thought he usually wore 
a different colored helmet. So, Remco is trying to battle his way back on. 26 seconds back. They 
are starting to climb again. I would expect Remco to be back with them at the bottom of the next 
valley. So, if we take a look over here, this valley here where we get down to the town before 
the hoticcom, uh, Remco will be back on. He’s   going to catch back on somewhere through there. 
Uh, going to catch up with the stream again. Uh, so Rick’s back. Hey, Rick’s back in the 
mick. Rick’s Holdlander here. He’s back. I think he’s missed a couple stages. Rick, nice 
to have you back, dude. I know Rick was really   involved in the chat a little while ago. Um, Don’s 
asking, “Is Rush Rush considered a trio?” Oh, they’re a treat to me, man. There’s three dudes. 
They’re awesome. Saw them in concert three times   over the last 30 years. So, good. Uh, yeah. Some 
people will say, “It sounds like there’s six or seven guys playing.” And you know what? I’m really 
into old rock and metal because you knew they   played the music. Too much new music has backing 
tracks. Now, for me, a backing track would be if you got if you got vocal backing track, you’re 
doing something wrong with your life. If you’ve   got a backing track that might be a weird sound 
that was made by a synthesizer or like Breaking Glass or something. Yeah, that’s going to be a 
backing track. It you hit a button and it plays   that. Uh I’m sure Rush had to do that at a couple 
times. Uh you know, when you watch Metallica, they do the the kid Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. That 
kid’s not on stage. That’s like a backing track,   but they’re not faking it. They’re not overs 
singing it. Yes, Rick. Come on, Yonis. Come on. One of those, right? I’ll be screaming that as 
he’s doing the next climb. Bruno Amarel looks like he’s still off the front here. Let me just double 
check that, guys. 35.6 km to go. One lone warrior up front from the Decathlon team. Let’s take a 
look at this dude. Frenchman. Let’s go, dude. Let’s go. Dathlon, AGTR, Lemon Deal. I wonder 
if that dude from last year’s tour is there. uh the new guy, the money guy, the guy that knew 
nothing about cycling, but like to brag that he took a uh he came on board, they basically merged 
two teams and the old owner was kind of shuffled aside like you take care of the athletes, but you 
could tell the new guy had all the authority and he just ran a rough shot over everyone. Uh I think 
it was Dathlon basically telling Sam Bennett that he has to stren sprint more. Um, dude, you know 
nothing about cycling. Nothing. Just like, dude, I hope you’re gone. Uh, I don’t even know the guy, 
but yeah, he came off really, it could be editing,   but he came off really bad in that Netflix 
special. Uh, Robert’s asking, “Who is Inos burying themselves at the front for?” I think Aaron was up 
there. Uh, Carlos Rodriguez is their highest place rider, but right now I have no idea where he is. 
That’s our front five. Let’s see. Do we have any Inos riders in the Pogy group? I don’t think we 
will. Don’t think we will. Hey guys, Roick’s still there. What do you know? Still there. Uh guys, 
and I’m not even a huge Roick fan. I just I guys, I watch all the same stuff you do. I hear all 
the same stuff you do. And after a while, I’m   kind like, why should he retire? Why should he? 
Okay, guys. I I got to catch the chat here. Um, Ivard’s saying, “I’d like to think I would have 
made a passable dome to mestique at the tour.” Me,   too. Then he’s laughing out loud. Let’s go. 
Mark Solair. Uh, and panels. What’s panels? What is panels, Don? Uh, Jay Taylor, he’s saying, 
“So, about 15 riders in the front group with 15ks to go.” Dude, there’s like uh one guy off the 
front and a couple of chasers. And then we’ve got 2 minutes back to a group of Ooh, and that 
group’s falling apart again, guys, because we’re now going up the category 2 climb. Uh, that group 
of 22, Tatty, uh, Yonas. Hey, don’t forget Kevin Bonalon’s there. Oscar only is there. Lipoitz, 
Roick, Narvz. I think we’ve lost Mark Soler out of that group. We’ve lost one of the UAE guys out 
the front. Bruno Amarel is just battling his way to get over the top here. Bruno Amarel is going 
to get over the top here. He will be over the top first. He’s over now. Actually, he’s over now. 
Bruno Amarl gets the points there. Uh category two, I think that’s five points. We got four 
riders chasing here. Rubé O Reyes, Michael Store, Michael Woods, and Skeleos. Group three on the 
road. This is the Pogy group. I’m gonna call the Primos group for a while just to irritate people 
that don’t like Primos. Uh Brogo there for team Bar and Victorious. Looks like he might be their 
best performing rider coming up here pretty soon. We got the Yates twins there. 22nd and 38th place 
overall. Uh chat chat chat. I got to do this. Um, yeah, Healey’s definitely struggling. James 
Anderson, welcome aboard. Well, James has just   recently become a member of the channel. Thank you 
so much, James. Uh, KM Diamond Insider. Thank you, dude, so much. Uh, Don Narvves, Jonathan Narve, 
UAE, I’m hopeful that he makes a difference for Pogy today. Yeah, he seems like to be the one guy 
like I know Mark Soler is a climber. We know Adam Yates is a climber. Adam just hasn’t shown the 
form this year. Mark Solair is always kind of   a guy that you think he’s going to be there and 
then something happens. Uh you know who’s been really quiet today who I haven’t seen is Enrich 
Mass. Where is he today? Uh I think he’s going to   have a bad day out there. Guys, I might jump back 
and show you some of that 3D shoot uh footage if I can. Visma should create hell tempo. No dumb 
rain and smoke like I have in Calgary. Is there smoke in Calgary now? Uh, so who’s this dude here? 
Um, brand new commenter. Nate’s got a weird name. CTWGXNntt. Uh, so looks like we got a Calgary in 
here. Uh, I, Dude, I’m about 55 minutes north of downtown Calgary. Uh, James Anderson here. 
Thank you for your contribution, dude. Love this. You definitely get a like here from Inside 
Cycling World. Appreciate the channel, man. Love   the cycling group chat vibe. Thank you. No, thank 
you, dude. Thank you. Uh, Jay Taylor, Simon Yates, go. I think Simon’s going to be flying at the end. 
Uh we’re looking at Is that a Venipole? Hard to tell. Couple of Vizma riders at the front. Tatty’s 
right there, guys. Tatty’s right there. I think whatever injuries Tatty suffered from yesterday. 
And by injuries, I just mean like abrasions, the impact of hitting the pavement, right? 
Uh that’s going to show up more tomorrow. Uh Don saying he’s staying by his statement that 
Victor Campernard would take stage 12 today. Dawn, let’s let’s give that a rethink. Let’s 
give it a re that one a reset. Uh Scalos and Amarill strong guys. Let’s go back to 
the race guys. I want to see Amarel still   solo guys. One minute gap kamicazi descender 
guys. this. If you’re good at descending, use it to your advantage. If I 
see someone wipe out behind me,   I’m still going. I’m not stopping and waiting 
for them. That’s called bike handling skills. Yeah, guys, I had to grab the 
coffee there. I just saw that. Um, yeah, guys, trying to catch up 
here with everyone. Uh, sorry,   guys. Once I lose track of where 
the chat is. Jojo’s in the mix here. Oh my guys, I’m so far behind. Okay, so 
there’s James. Thank you again, James. Yeah, Michael Woods did attack over the top 
there, guys. I’m watching Bruno Amarill on   camera here. He’s just rocking out 
the front. Sheila’s back again. Uh, you you cyclist should use organic aloe vera as 
a moisturizer. I use it every day, even in hair. Almost watery like consistency. Sheila, I’m like 
the worst human alive for applying any kind of   moisturizers to my skin. Everyone will tell you 
that. Uh some people said I look something like uh Chef Gordon Ramsay. Uh especially in the 
forehead area, wrinkles that are as deep as the Grand Canyon. Simon Yates is a cycling 
ninja. He will magically appear in the last three columns to take the stage like David Blaine 
on a bike. Street magic, bro. from Dawn here. Uh, Nietze 191. Strange because I see 
four Vizma guys on front today. Guys,   I am behind. I may have to skip forward here. I am 
way behind here, guys. Way behind. I just want to say hi to Matt here. Just got here. Wondering 
who’s in the leading group right now. Bruno,   dude. Uh, yeah, guys. Will they make 
a move? They got they got plans, but it’s kind of a plan that’s on the fly. 
How does it develop? What happens out there? How hot did it get? Uh how are the other teams 
looking? Don saying bike terror looks cool. Dude, it is cool. And you know, Bike Terror is the 
simple one, guys. But I think keeping it simple, they can do other things the other platforms 
can’t. Joey saying that Yeah, she told me upstairs some other channel stole my thumbnail and 
is recording the race somewhere in Asia. Thanks, dude. Loser. Uh, Don saying the best form of 
flatter is imitation. Yeah, if he’s got hair like mine, we’re all good. Okay. Yeah, Rusty Woods. 
Exactly. Rusty Woods, that’s what they call him. Okay. Just trying to, guys, I’m I’m actually 
skipping a little bit. Heel is gonzo. Yeah,   he’s out. He’s gone. I And guys, I said at the 
beginning, they are showing Tim Wellins on screen here. Where is Tim Wellins right now? Riding 
solo. Looking at that there. Uh let’s go through it again, guys. Bruno Amarill still solo. He’s 
continuing to grow the gap because he’s bombing downhill all the way. That’s back to the Skeleos 
group. Same four riders sticking close together. Then we’re sec 116 back to the uh Tatty group. 
Let’s have a look at it. Tatty, Yonas, Kevin Bakalon, Oscar, Florian, Primos, Johansson, Felix 
G, Jonathan Arvez, Yates is still there. Actually, I don’t know where Simon Yates is either. Bago 
is still there. Uh, white jersey. Check this out, guys. Okay, so Simon Yates is actually falling 
back a bit. Uh, and he’s riding in the Remco group. They’re six seconds behind Tatty. So Remco 
will get back on. The problem now is this is just a descent. Remco is bombing downhill. Uh we’ve got 
a wall, the wall of the hoticcom coming up right away, guys. Uh this is going to be crazy. From the 
front to the back, Ben Healey is 5 minutes and 32 seconds behind the leaders. So Ben had a couple 
great days in the yellow. Uh I didn’t expect him to lose it today. I thought he’d be able to hang 
in there better. uh he might have just like buried   himself to get the jersey and uh you know he just 
didn’t have it in the legs. Front to back again we have 91 riders that are 17 minutes or behind Bruno 
at the front. The lone warrior at the front folks. Uh Robert’s talking about the Jerick G superfan 
here yelling that it’s just like banker. Yeah, that was in that pouring rain. I remember 
that. Uh why not G on the Tour team? Dude, I don’t know either. Uh I mean, he did do 
the Jirro. I think he finished fourth at the   Jirro. So that guy can win a grand tour. Uh I’m 
hoping we see him at the VA. And remember guys, I’m covering the VA here. I will 
cover every stage. I won’t miss   a second of it. That starts, I 
think, the third week in August. Uh Joey is uh just telling everyone to hit the 
like button. Thank you very much. Jay Taylor, yes, this is the Pyrenees, dude. This this 
is the mountain chain that separates France   from Spain. And Pandora’s wedge in the middle. 
Yeah, Joey Jojo here. I’m reading her comment, too. I was like, why would someone say what I’m 
doing is fake? They probably watched when I was   showing the Bera stuff, which is But that’s not 
fake. That’s where they really are on screen. I’ll try to show a bit more of that 
later, guys. Uh Jason Douly asking here, “What chain ring set does Yonis use?” I don’t know 
today. Although, Jason, good question because I saw someone earlier on or it was footage somewhere 
saying that uh Yonas was using a one by setup in the mountains. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t 
know, guys. What’s a one by? Just a cool way. So, usually on your bike, you have two rings 
on the front, a big one and a small one.   Because the rear derailers and the rear cassettes 
have gotten so much more advanced, you can put a bunch of gears on the back with a huge uh cassette 
on the back, meaning you only need one on the front now. You kind of have a smaller one on the 
front. Uh what does that do? No need for a front derailure because you’re not shifting gears in 
the front. You’re using all the back. You need to   use it on the right course, though. One buy came 
out into the world tour quite a few years ago. There was an Irish team. I think they were 
called like TTT. They were all in blue. They   were the first tour team like world tour team to 
introduce and they weren’t world tour. They were like a a prolevel team, but they used it at some 
prolevel races. And uh they were running one buys and it got poo pooed and it just vanished. 
And I think that was like five years ago, six years ago. Now it’s making a comeback only 
on select stages though, like a time trial. If you’ve got a really flat time travel, just put a 
monstrous chain ring on the front and a good range of gears in the back. You don’t need that second 
chain ring. You’re just asking for troubles. Okay. Uh Rick here saying Jay, he’s 
answering that question for. Thanks,   Rick. Uh Vingo won by from what he’s seen. Yeah, I just haven’t had a good look yet today, 
but I’ve heard about it this tour. Uh Yan Basada here saying suggests there will 
be a seasonal cycling tour one which will be   held around the world every weekend race 
will be one point similar to F1. Okay so like a new cycling series kind of like 
F1. Uh okay it’s June. June Pat saying cycling is more exciting than boring F1. 
I kind of agree with you right now. I used   to love Formula 1 2. When it got quiet 
I pulled out. I want my ears to hurt. Uh John saying F1 has been good this year. 
I just want it loud again. I just want it   loud. Even the old guys. There was a re recent 
footage in the last couple years. I think it was Lewis there might have been at Silverstone. 
He’s driving his car and they had some of   the older cars out and when the car went by, 
Lewis like stopped talking and was like like just loving the sound cuz those are the cars 
he used to be in. Uh, they all want that back. Uh, Robert’s asking about Palo Salo Salvadelli 
here. Yeah, some guys are superstar descenders. Let’s take a look again, guys. We’re almost out to 
two minutes. So, he caught Woodsy, passed him, and just said, “See you.” Like, this guy is gutsy. Uh, 
probably taking some crazy risks and places. Uh, let’s see what it looks like. Doesn’t look like 
crazy switchbacks anywhere. It’s It’s, you know, curvy, swervy. Couple of hard corners here. This 
is the Woodsy group here. Group two. Group three. Bing. Uh, Remco’s back. Remco is back, folks. 
Now, how much motivation will this give him to get up the hoticon with him? I don’t know, guys. 
I don’t think anyone’s ever said that Remco is an incredible climber. I think tomorrow he can 
have an incredible day as his own effort against the clock. I think he can do well tomorrow. 
Today we just may see what we saw happen in the last half hour happen again. He’s going 
to fall out the back again on the hotcom. He could lose horrendous amounts of time. Yellow 
jersey group here. Ben Healey. Still, you still got Harry Sweeney there with him. Further back 
down here is the polka dot jersey. They haven’t hit the top of the category 2 climb yet. Group 
six, we got 13 riders back here. Uh let’s see where our sprint group is. Uh yeah, they’re not 
showing the green jersey right now. 37 riders. Oh, it is here. It says green jersey group. It 
just doesn’t show it on the little uh picture   here. Unless they’re merged together. Could be 
something like that. Back to the race, guys. Uh think Amarel’s doing a really good job 
here. Problem is he’s got to climb the hoticcom now. And we’ve got Tatty and others at 
all hovering 2 minutes and 11 seconds behind him. Uh okay. Robert saying Vizma is riding like they think 
they can win the tour today. Let me get a look   at that here for you guys. Uh, get to this 
group here. Yonas is still in this group. Seuss, Simon Yates. Where is Jorgensson 
right now? Where is Matteo Jorgensson, guys? He’s not showing up in this group here. 
You know what? I’m going to take a look and see if they said there’s gone anywhere on 
the attack. Omaril is on fire. Absolutely. Remco was back in the group and that was 
all because of his descending abilities. This is why back in the old days uh they 
said um they didn’t have hilltop finishes just because the lack of facilities uh 
probably no parking lots up. They were like trails going over the top. So they all 
descended over the top and finished down in   the valley generally. Uh so the climbers’s 
issue was that we can get away but we always get caught on the descents by the bigger 
more powerful riders would hunt them down. Uh looking at Skeleos here store Rubo and Woods. 
So there’s four riders working together there. Um yeah had my coffee break. Yeah June 
was asking where’s the com dude. Jude   sorry I had to step away for the 
coffee break and other things. Uh, I think I was out for 90 seconds. Had to heat 
the coffee up, too. Then Joey told me about some   guy has stolen my thumbnail. Hey man, that’s 
copyright, dude. You’re getting struck today, bro. You are getting struck like you’ve 
never seen. So, you can’t do that. Actually,   you know what’s funny is a while ago, I ride Ruby 
a lot, guys. I did a video myself riding with a bunch of other people, just a group ride, and then 
someone else had done the exact same ride on Ruby and uploaded it. YouTube sent me a thing saying, 
“Hey man, looks like this guy’s stealing your   content.” Not my content. It just looks similar 
because it was using the same Ruby video. So, I just said, “No, it’s not a copyright. He’s 
doing his thing.” Dude, if you’re not Yeah,   it’s cool. I could have actually probably said 
it was, but it’s not. That would be cheap. Uh, we got some F1 talk going on, guys. I would love 
to talk F1 here. I’m just trying to get get caught up. Uh, Vizma must attack. So, Yates or Jorgensson 
must counter uh from Veno, but I don’t think Yeah, that’s the problem, guys. How hard do you go 
today when you got to do a mountain time trial   tomorrow? And going back to that. Okay, so it is 
coming back together. That’s what I thought. Uh, Jorgensson’s just popped in the scrim. So, 
the tour to France transponder dudes can’t   keep up with what’s going on at times. 
There’s guys like one second ahead, two seconds behind. The beauty of this one is 
I see Oscar only there. Kevin Balon. Uh, hey, Primos is still there, guys. Still there. Can he 
hang on to the HC? That’s why don’t we think about   it. Can Primos hang on uh with the front end 
today? Will he crack going up the HC? Hotcom. Uh, Bing Group is uh, dude. Uh, so someone’s 
asking about Bing here. This is Moosey. Moosey’s been here before. Moosey, good to see you 
back. I’m just going to back up for a second.   Uh Frank’s telling Nichza they can wait to three 
kilometers before the the finish and still win over 3 minutes. Yeah guys, it’s a tough one. The 
hotcom Moosey uh Bingham is in a group in the sprint group with all the other sprinters 19 and a 
half minutes back behind the leaders. So I’m going to look on screen right now to confirm that he’s 
there. There’s Merier. Uh where is Jonathan Milan? I noticed that before that the 
green jersey wasn’t showing up. There are some Trek riders back here probably with 
Milan, but I don’t see him here right now. So, transponder issue. Not sure. Then it’s uh 
five minutes up the road to the King of the Mountains jersey, which will I’m I’m 
assuming will be gone today. He did have   a good lead. Uh I think it’s 10 points 
for Calair, 20 for the uh hotcom. So looking at the footage over 
here, Vizma is on the front   UAE following. Looks like this might 
be a bit of a catch up here. 19.4. Yep. So weird. Sometimes I I’m really caught 
up on my stream, which I don’t pause. So I’m just trying to figure out. Okay, saying live 
now. Uh 18.27. So I’m 700 meters behind them. Let’s see how good Amarel is doing right here. 
Who’s cheering this guy on with me? The Kathlon   Rider. Uh did really well on the time trial, 
too. He’s two minutes ahead. So the Woodsy group’s been caught on the descent. Uh that 
group has now disappeared. So we should see him somewhere near Yeah, Michael Woods is there 
in that group now. So, the yellow jersey group, the GC group has caught the four riders ahead 
of them. That group is now 27 riders. 1 minute 57 seconds behind this guy, Bruno Amarel. Uh, 
see what we can see here where they’re going. Sorry guys, I’m on the wrong end of the map there. 
I’m like, why why is there a category 4? So,   you’re gonna see now they’re almost at the 
bottom of the valley here. Now they’re going to descend down. The river’s down here. This 
is the bottom of the valley here. And then   we start climbing. Then we start climbing. 
It’s basically they get to descend, recover, uh probably try to load up some on some foods as 
they’re blasting downhill at 60 to 80k an hour. Uh you know, some of the barriers I’m seeing on these 
corners are like, “Yeah, you miss this corner, you   slam into the side of a building.” Fans are out 
everywhere. Bruno Amarel getting the glory at the front. Uh he’ll be on the flats here for maybe a 
couple of kilometers and then the climbing starts. Uh Jun Basada here saying that Pogy 
will attack on the next climb. Uh possibly it’ll be a good indicator of how 
he feels. It actually I almost thought too   he might attack just to say I’m not 
hurt. Uh, from what I’m seeing here, he’s doing really well. But Almeida did the same 
thing. I think Almeida’s crash was a lot worse,   though. Almeida survived the whole next 
day. It was day two. He couldn’t finish. Uh, okay. So, the dude here, 
I think he’s from Calgary. Uh,   he says, “I’m in Englewood.” I 
know where that is in Calgary. Where to watch for free, guys? This is Ken Worth. 
uh can really they’re making it so hard to watch   the tour to France. Now, did you guys see that? 
Um you can find on YouTube articles about it. So, Pro Cycling Stats, they’ve been 
around forever. They have a PCS   uh van that goes along with the tour. The 
tour does not like them showing their logo at the tour. That’s how strict they are 
about what is shown. All Pro Cycling Stats does is provide every stat about every 
race out there. They’re like crucial. Uh Jun saying sprinters always win. There should 
be also be mountains, planes, sprint. Yeah, which they do. These courses are all designed to 
favor different riders at different times. God, this is a lot, guys. Uh I thought I was caught 
up. I thought I was caught up. Maybe I am. Okay, so Englewood. Okay, got you there. Uh, June 
says, “Mrs. Alberta Contidor, the Lance Armstrong   destroyer.” Yeah, those were good times at the 
tour. Chicken Smackers, no smoke in Calgary, but lots of rain. Dude, I know. Uh, chicken 
smackers saying, “I’m practically your neighbor   in working in air.” Chicken smackers. I was inry 
last night. Uh, Italian place. I think it’s called Sal. They’re showing the hotcomic gradient here. 
Uh, it’s insane, guys. It’s insane. Uh, Erdri, uh, Joey Jojo, when I first met her, she lived there, 
so I know Erdri very, very well. Eddie Kenrich, new guy here. Thanks from Ireland. How is our 
boy Healey looking? Unfortunately, Ben Healey   has been discarded out the back. Hopefully, he 
can bring some time back right now. Uh, there is one brave dude at the front for Decathlon, 
Bruno Amarel, riding solo, two minutes to the, uh, yellow, sorry, the GC contenders. Uh but 
it looks like Ben Healey is 2 minutes behind Tatty in the group right now. Uh he’s f he’s 
almost 6 minutes off of the leader right now, but that’s going to change on the climb. 
I can’t see Bruno Amarill staying away. Uh he’s just making a valiant effort to get 
up there uh and hold on as long as possible. It all depends what the riders behind you. If 
they shut it down, it might give them a chance. Uh Ari Stein, Ari Sternberg here. Hey, great 
commentary. Where is Ramco? How fast? And also, how was the last climb? The last climb is 
horrifying, Ari. Uh it’s the hotcomic. Let’s take a little look at it here. Perfect timing 
for your question, Ari. It’s 13.6 km long. So,   guys, it’s about 8 miles long. Average gradient 
of 7.8%. We’re going to climb over 1,000 meters of elevation. So, we’re climbing over it’ll 
probably be close to 33 3,400 ft in 8 miles. Uh, Bruno Amaril is already on it or just 
starting it now. So, great question there,   Ari. Thanks for being here. Appreciate the kind 
words. Uh, Remco was 100 meters off of the Pogy Group. I think he’s with him now. Yeah, he’s with 
him now. They’re all back together. They sit 1 minute 46 behind Bruno Amarill. I imagine that 
gap is going to come down real fast. Bruno Amarel on the 6% gradient. Just starting the climb. I 
think I might switch to the map mode, guys. And I might show you a little bit of a I’ll see what 
I can see over here just so I because I I think this is so fun for me. Uh I’m going to exit that 
now. Okay. I have to wait for that to exit. So I’m going to just pop back here quickly with you 
guys. Yeah. So Remco did not have a great stage today. Hopefully this isn’t what’s going to be 
a sign of the future for him because he was gone quick. Bruno climbing right now again here 13.5 km 
at 7.8%. HC category climb above categorization. Uh Ari says thanks thank you Ari for being here. Yeah, I saw Simon get dropped earlier. Let’s jump   back through that. He was hanging 
just a little bit further back. Not sure if he’s back yet. Only 
looking strong. Vocalon Lipoich   Primos. Uh 10th place Johansson, Felix Gaul. Let’s have a look here. So the Woodsy group 
is back with these guys. Tim Wellins is there. So, they did show him earlier. Just a quick 
blast on the sc on the stream there. Uh, who else? Simon Yates is with this group. 
So, I did see Simon Yates earlier though.   Was out the back. I don’t know if he 
was dropping back to his team car. Uh, June Basada here saying, “Dude, 
thank you so much.” Uh, he’s saying,   “You are a better commentator compared 
to others on live stream. Great job, dude. Thank you so much. I’ve doing this for 
a couple years now.” Uh, and I am watching the   stream here. It does show Tim Wellins in this 
group driving the front. UAE, you never know, guys. Are they trying to apply pressure? Uh just 
to make sure Vizma doesn’t apply the pressure. It’s kind of like now we’ll do it first. And 
that’s generally what teams do. You want to be   the team controlling. You want to be the team 
dictating the pace. Don’t let someone else do it. It looks like we have three, possibly four UAE 
riders here right now. a long-sized TDY. I’m gonna just double check that, guys. So, Tatty’s there. 
And then there was another jersey behind Tatty. I couldn’t Narva is there. Yates is there. Wellins 
is there. So, I think it’s only four. And I think this group is going to rip apart real quick. Uh, 
this might be the end of the day for Woodsy here   from what I’m seeing. I think he’s flying out the 
back there. This might be a replay from earlier because I think they’re showing Simon Yates here 
as well. Uh, let me just check this out. Uh, that group went from like 26 to 17 riders 
in no time. Remco is still in there, guys. Yeah, this uh down to 15 riders. This 
could be a full GC pelaton implosion. Uh, Bruno started this climb with almost a 
two-minute uh lead. He’s now down to 1 minute   9 seconds. Maybe the maybe the sparks are going 
to go off today, guys. I thought, you know what, this might be just chill. Besides the fact that 
you’re at an HC, I was expecting more tomorrow. Uh because tomorrow you’re by yourself. Tomorrow 
you could lose like 10 minutes. Uh if you explode on that climb from the pictures I’m seeing, 
Wellins is driving the front. Is he still there? I think Wellins is gone already now. Wellins 
is out already, folks. He’s done his turn at   the front. Uh seeing footage here and 12.3 
12 km ago. Remco is going out the back, guys. Remco is out the back again. He is not 
suitable for these kinds of climbs. I just saw Wellens peel off. Jonathan Narve now leading 
the front. I would assume that’s Adam Yates behind him. looks a bit too big to be Adam, but 
Jonathan Narvves. So, UAE is said Vizma. Nah, we’re doing it. We’re doing it, bros. We’re taking 
the lead at the front. Uh, let’s take a look at the live tracking here. See what it looks like. 
So, we’ve got two UAE riders in front of Tatty. Uh, not sure how long they’re going to left. 
How much will they bury themselves? Whatever. It doesn’t matter what they do. It’s It’s about 
Tatty. Uh Jonathan is already looking like he’s pulling over and Adam Yates is going to the front. 
Nope. I think Yates just pulled off. Yates kind of came up and then pulled off. Jonathan Narve right 
now is kicking. Tatty’s going. Yonas is the only person that goes with him. So, this is not what 
we thought. We thought it would have been Vizma attacking uh Pogy. It’s the other way around. 
Other way around, folks. This is insane. Uh John’s just asking quickly what the temperature in the 
mountains is. Dude, uh when it’s 10 degrees here, it could be there could be snow in the mountains. 
Yeah, it’s 11 degrees here right now. There could   be snow up in the mountains, which is perfect. We 
need that’s that’s our rain. That’s our drinking water. Uh and I’m seeing footage here. Uh looks 
like Tatty has separated from Yonas, folks. There’s one rider ahead. That looks like Tatty’s 
up ahead, folks. I just turned my head away. Wow. Okay, guys. I I’m going to get caught up here. 
I’m gonna have to go back to this one here to   see what’s going on. Bruno Amarill in the fronts. 
10 seconds back to Tatty. Tatty’s riding solo, guys. He’s He’s been He’s hit the ground. He’s 
bounced off it. He’s jumped back up. And now he’s putting time into Yonas. This is a long climb, 
guys. It’s a very long climb. Uh we have 11.4 km going. Yonas is more of a grinder. He slowly 
gets up to power. Let’s see if he can pull Tatty back here again. Here, here’s Bingo riding solo. 
Everyone’s gone. It’s kind of a true rider race. Then we got the Rodick group. So Rodick is here 
with Florian Lipoitz, Oscar only, and Johansson. This is a nice little group here. Really nice 
group there. Ramco further minute back, Vocalon, Felix Gaul, Remco Aventipole. All these riders 
here vying for high GC classification. uh third, sixth, and 11th. Let’s keep our eyes on this 
guys. Will Tatty grow this gap? Yonas cannot allow Tatty to grow this gap right now. He has 
to stay focused and just ride at his own pace and see what happens. Tatty may be pushing too hard 
here. He’s looking good, looking pretty focused. He’s obviously working hard. This doesn’t look 
effortless to him. adjusting his headset. Getting in focus here. Uh guys, I got to catch up here 
again. Uh Matthew Vanderpole quite a ways back now, dude. Uh Pogy has cat reflexes. When he 
crashed yesterday, he unclipped his left foot, stabbed the ground. Dude, you caught it, too, man. 
Mike Miriner caught it. He got his foot down to take most of the blow before he took like instead 
of landing at 50k an hour on his hip, he got his foot down first and scrubbed off. I imagine he 
wore off quite a bit of his cleat yesterday. That   cushioned the channel, saved his tour. Love 
the channel, dude. Thank you so much. Yeah, dude. You called it totally. I saw that. Exactly. 
He got his foot down, his left foot to, you know, prevent just slamming into the ground on his hip 
or his shoulder. That could have ended his tour.   You’re totally correct. Uh Dixon here, UAE team 
protecting Pogy today from unnecessary crash. Pogy is just smashing everyone right now. Uh, Bruno 
Amarel has been caught, guys. Here he is. Uh, 2023 2024 rider. I’m actually watching Bingigo pass 
Bruno right now. 2023. Is that right? No, sorry. 2024 Tour to France champion. Tatty Pagacher is 
in the lead right now with a 12 second gap. Back to Yonas. Come on, Yonas. Come on. Think about 
throwing fish around. Come on. Uh yeah, gap is slightly growing. Yonas is going to have to settle 
into a rhythm here. And uh I guess right now pray that Tatty went a bit hard. Maybe his energy 
reserves are less. It’s then a 30 seconds further back to this nice looking group here. Four riders 
Oscar only. Check this dude out. Uh Scottish dude writing for Team Picnic. This was the old DSM, 
whatever the second word in their name was. DSM uh rider seventh overall, fourth in the young 
riders jersey. Uh guys, he’s like 22 years old. Looking really good there. Yeah, I’m liking 
this. So, it’s 46 seconds back, but okay, things are changing. There’s the Menipole. 
Vocalon and Gaul. Rajick is four riders here.   They’re 44 seconds behind Tatty. He still has 10 
km of climbing, guys. This is not a short climb. You can do You can catch him, Yonis. Come on. 
That’s straight from Greca. You can catch him, Yonas. And I believe he can. I’ve seen Yonas do 
this before. Just what kind of Tatty do we have this year? Tatty is looking over his shoulder 
right now. You know, people like to say that   all the time. Tatty never looks back. Yeah, he 
does. He looks back. He’s not a machine, guys. Uh yeah. Uh MDVP’s been on it for a long time. This 
is not a stage build for him. Uh Jun saying, “Thank you, sir, for reading my messages.” 
Dude, thank you for being here. Uh you guys   make the channel. Remco got back on because Vimbo 
slowed the down at the front. Uh they’re saying, “Great comments here from the chat, guys. Really 
appreciate this. Visma slowed because Jorgens   struggled. I saw when Jorgensson was out the 
back. Uh I don’t even know where Jorgensson is right now. He’s not in this group with 
Venipole and Gaul. He’s not with Roick. Here’s Bingo. 20 seconds back to Tatty right now. 
Tatty’s just, you know, if he keeps this up, he’s just going to solidify first place. Uh 
remember, Bingigo is technically I think he’s a minute behind Tatty at this point. Tatty would be 
29 seconds beside Healey. Healey is sorry. Tatty is the leader of the tour right now. Uh, Bingo 
will probably be in second at the end of the day, I think. See how this climb plays out. Yonas knows 
he has to do the ride of his life today or else the tour is just walking away from him right now. 
High altitude camps, domestic issues, you know it all, guys. You’ve seen all the stuff on TV that I 
see. Uh, okay. New guy here, McGill Cascan. Visma burned themselves instead of Pogy and crew. Yeah, 
maybe they worked a little bit too hard trying to get Jorgensson back on there. FK89 Green. Is this 
the longest climb on the short? No, it’s not. Uh, if so, that’s Yonas best shot. No, I’d say the 
Von 2 is longer. Is the Von two longer? Yeah, this isn’t that long of a climb. It’s only 1,000 
meters of elevation. I think the Von 2 is more   like sub500 meters of elevation. We also have 
the tormallay decline. Uh there’s a stage that we do the tormallay, the aspan, and another one. 
I’d have to look at it, guys. It’s all kind of blending together for me now. Jonathan Vanderberg 
here. Getting ready for the wall. Hey, good to see   you, Jonathan. Uh Frank Carlson says, “Look how 
close the red dot comes to the sprinters.” Oh, yeah. It’s horrifying. It’s horrifying 
when you see the broom wagon. Take a look,   guys. Here’s the broom wagon just lurking 
behind the sprinters. Here’s the sprint group, guys. Uh, 20 minutes behind, 61 riders. Tatty 
putting on a show, guys. Putting on a show. Uh, consolidates his fact at the moment that 
he is the number one rider in the world. Guys, it’s a race within a race. Looking at 
Yonas, looks quite red in the face, but I think that’s a normal look for him. He’s always got 
that flushed look. He’s definitely losing time,   though. He’s 36 seconds behind. Uh I think he’s 
riding a two by setup today. I think it looks like he’s on the small ring on the front to me. 10% 
gradient here, guys. And this is prolonged. This is not just a little kick. It stays like 8 n% for 
a long long time. Uh Oras again. Hey dude, good to see you. Or Narvas and Wellins are underrated 
workers, dude. They’re like superstars. Tim   Wallins is a beast. Leona’s back enjoying today’s 
ride. Thanks, Leona. Rick’s here, too. Pogy and Nvarez and Rodri and Lipoitz. Let’s see what 
they’re doing. So, it’s 41 seconds back to Vingo. A further 44 seconds back to ah the Ro group has 
grown. Uh I think Kevin Valon has came up into it. Kevin Valon’s going to have to work really 
hard. He’s sixth place overall. Remember, all these teams are fighting each other. They’re like, 
“You know what? Let Tatty go up front. We might   catch Vingo and take time out of him.” Uh, right 
now they’ve lost time to him. Um, moving forward, Derek Andre BCO, what’s the update with the GC? Is 
UAE in the front or is UAE strongly in the front right now? Dude, if you’re not watching, uh, Pogy 
is at the front putting a beating on Vingo right now. 43 second gap going up the HC rated hotcom. 
So, UAE definitely has the upper hand here. How is Quinn Simmons doing today? 
This is from from Eric Ghart. Uh,   Tre has been putting him out 
there by himself before today, so worried he might be smoked. Uh, he will be 
smoked after today. I imagine he’s actually, you know what, I haven’t even seen him today. 
Haven’t even seen him. He’s probably way,   way back with the green jersey, maybe having a 
big rest day. I’m gonna do a quick peek here. See if I can see him back here. Tom Scoins is 
back there for Trek. Um, we’re looking, guys. Yeah, I don’t think Quinn’s in the the furthest 
group back. He might be with the King of the   Mountain jersey. There’s 40 riders there. 
Trying to keep an eye on the front here, too, guys. Quinn Simmons is uh currently 
right now 15 minutes behind Pogy on the road just for today’s stage. So, I I thought 
he might be further back than that. Um, okay, backing up again, guys. So much stuff 
here. Okay, when did these messages come in? Joey Jojo. Yeah, I have I have no idea how 
many viewers we have right now, guys. Okay, I’m going back to Miguel Gaskan here. I don’t want 
to miss anyone’s comments. There’s a lot of good   stuff coming in here. Why do you call him Tatty? 
It’s today, dude. Just what I call this is uh Mixa saying uh it’s like I called Vander Vanderpool. 
I keep calling him Vanderpole. Uh not really my name pronunciations specialtity, but today we 
can call him today. How about today? How about today? We start calling him today. Let’s go with 
that. Okay, it’s today. Uh, there we go, folks. Uh, Miguel saying, “Can I see how Yonas’s chances 
are, but sometimes he he has to risk sometime something about Vizma looked not stronger than 
you, which at least one top guy saying your pain management now hits.” Yeah. Uh, Yonas is going 
to has have to risk something here. He’s just drifting, guys. Just drifting and drifting. He’s 
out of the saddle climbing. All we have to Okay, looks like it might have stabilized around 
50 seconds. And I think the Rolet Group is coming up to Yonas ever so slowly. Uh, 
this could really help Yonas out if they get there soon enough before Tatty wins the 
stage. Uh, so pretty dominant performance by   Tatty right now. Just watching it. 49 seconds, 
50 seconds. It’s just hovering right there. Yeah, Taddyy. It’s kind of like Teddy,   I guess. But today is today. How about 
that? Uh, it’s not Monday, it’s today. Pogy stays with uh with Jon Yonas. He will be in 
yellow. Yeah, Jonas. Yeah, Tatty is I just said it. Today is uh Pogy. Okay, I’m not even using 
that name anymore now. It’s Pogy. I only say Pogy from now on. Uh Pogy is ahead already before 
today ahead of Yonas uh by about a good minute. So today Yonas has to catch Pogy and finish a minute 
ahead of him to to have a chance of being back in the yellow jersey today. Joey was saying there’s 
almost 800 people watching this live. Mine’s not updating downstairs live. I’m just going like 
we’re going folks. Uh if it said one person, I’d be doing the exact same thing. Uh, Meek is 
cheering on Remco. Frank is saying way too early. Maybe he thinks the attack was too early. Uh, 
okay. I’m going to try to catch up here, guys. Yeah, Yonas is suffering. This must be really hard 
for Yonas here. 55 seconds. So, it’s coming back   a bit. I think that Road group is just kind of 
bringing it down ever so slowly. Gonna jump back here, guys. Uh, four riders in that group. Okay, 
there was five before. Kevin Valon’s gone again, guys. Here he is. He did get back on. He’s fallen 
out the back again. This is a super tough climb, guys. Super tough climb. No doubt about it. 
Uh if you’ve ever done any of these things,   riding inside or outside, this is a brutal climb. 
Uh just uh kind of messing around here myself. What are we seeing here? Head of the course. 
Tatty. Wonder if this can show us anything here. Guys, I’m over on as you guys are watching that. 
Okay, I’m watching Tatty over here. He is bouncing back and forward pretty good. But yeah, this is 
a 9% gradient. You’re gonna kind of start doing   that that bouncing thing back and forward. Yonas 
grabbing a bottle off a Vizma dude on the side of the road, hosing himself down, takes three or four 
sucks out of there. God, I don’t know if you’ve done a lot of cycling outside, uh, or even inside 
trying to take a drink from your water bottle as you’re half dying. Your heart rate’s 180 plus. 
Uh, you miss those breaths. It gets even harder. Gets even harder. I’m gonna bounce back here 
to Primos for a second. Guys, this is so cool, guys. I got to show this to you again. Bike Terra 
for the win, guys. This is so cool. Uh, I’m doing it. I’m doing it because I want to show you this. 
What’s really cool right now on Bike Terra, guys, this is an indoor cycling app right here. I want 
to show you this right now, dudes. Check this   out by Terra. Uh, this is showing Kevin Bakalon 
catching back up with the the guys up front. So, Kevin Balon was off the back here. Here’s the 
four riders. This is Primos Florian. Uh, I forget the other ones right now, but I’m seeing a rider 
go by. I think that’s Kevin Balon going by. I’m going to zoom out a little bit and see if we can 
see things up the road. This is the actual climb, guys. If you’re wondering what you’re looking at, 
this is where someone came in early and said, “Oh,   this is fake.” No, this is real. This is real data 
from the tour to France being represented in a 3D uh graphic through Bike Terra cycling application. 
It’s showing the groups. It’s not showing every rider. I can see there’s a rider back there just 
a little bit just around the corner. Uh that says that that’s the Aventipole group. I’m going to 
bounce back. Take a look at this guys if we’re   lucky. We can’t see them. Here’s a Venipole 
riding. If you look up in the distance there, you can just see the four riders ahead of Venipole 
with a rider coming up behind him. Anyway, guys, I know it’s not the real tour of 
France. Let’s get back here. Boom. I think that’s super cool, guys. That’s 
a whole new way to follow the race. Whole new way to follow the race. Yeah, Pogy 
went early. Uh Marcella June says here   June Basada again remember Pogy did it 
on stage 20 uh correct me if I’m wrong and Pogy first tour. Uh yeah that was back 
in 2020. Pogy’s first ring the co year when they had the tour late. I’m now seeing 
the footage of Renco riding solo here. Uh yeah I saw that too Pogy had his earpiece 
out. You’ll see a lot guys riders will take their ears. They do not want to hear from the 
director. Even though it’s helpful, they just   don’t want to hear it. Just saw Remco get a bottle 
from one of the motorbikes. And this here looks like Remco is catching Kevin Bakolon. Kevin got 
back up, but I think he may have hurt himself   trying to get back on with the group of four 
at the front. At the front, Tatty riding solo, guys. What a what a champion. He’s riding solo. 
One minute seven seconds back to Yonas. Uh yeah, this must be really hard for Yonas. Like, wow. 
I’m not as good as him. I’m just not. Uh, it’s 58 seconds back to the Roick group. Let’s say the 
only group because I can say that name better. Uh, remember I keep saying it. Primos, you’re supposed 
to be retired, dude. Keep going. Keep going,   dude. Don’t quit. Uh, and again, dudes, look at 
this. Tobias Johansson. This is not even a World Tour team here, guys. Uh, this is a Pro Series 
team. 10th place overall at the Tour to France. They won the stage yesterday. I think they’re 
the winners today. Uh having a rider in the   top 10. White jersey. Uh Renco is trying to get 
back on board board. So I think Vakalon is going back and forward uh trying to stay with groups. 
Okay, there we just saw Vakalon disappeared from the Remco group. So I don’t know if he’s fallen 
out the back again. It’s not showing me all the tracking. Back to the live tracking here. They’re 
all spread out. Really cool switchback coming up, folks. Really cool switchback coming up. 
Makes me think about something here. Uh, today. Today. Hey, man. It’s today. Uh, I’m 
going to say some really stupid jokes here. Yep. Can I think way in the distance there 
represented? It’s only a You know what, guys? That’s what you think. Oh, he’s lost a 
minute. He’s only 19. Well, okay. He’s 205 meters behind on the road right now to today, guys. I 
got to show this to you right now because again,   I think it’s super cool. Uh, we’re going to jump 
back here to this image over on Bike Terra. You guys are watching it just as I am. I’m getting 
back in control here. Here is that. Take a look   at the switchback here. Tatty’s riding right now. 
He’s going to go around the switchback. Uh, guys, I don’t have the full subscription here. Uh, 
Yonas is just down below us here. You can see Yonas just off screen here right now where my 
hand’s circling. He’s just entering that series of switchbacks. Tatty’s absolutely flying up here, 
guys. Says he’s traveling at 25.6 kilometers an hour up this climb. 8% gradient. Let me know 
if you can do that because you can’t. Uh it’s not going to show his power. His power output’s 
probably massive. So cool. We got these groups   here. So, we’re going to bounce back to Yonas 
here. I hope this works good. Here’s Yonas. He’s in those clims in those switchbacks now. He’s 
just starting. Tatty has exited the switchbacks up above us a further 300 meters back. Let’s 
bounce back to superstar rider here. Oscar only and Florian Leapoitz. Two of the next generation 
of riders here coming up. Uh Roick is riding with Tobias Johansson. It says so Lipoitz has went 
ahead and left the veteran of the team behind. Guys, apologize. I’ll go back here. Actually, I’m 
not apologizing. Uh that’s some really good extra stuff we can look at. Give you a better feel 
as to what’s going out there. Uh here’s Tatty’s climbing. So again, if I can show it to you guys. 
Yeah, it’s hard to see right here, but actually, you know what? You see it right down here. Uh 
okay, even here it’s hard to see, but it was that switch back. It’s actually all their uh numbers 
are covering right now. It’s a switch right here. Group two, Yonas is just coming out of the 
switchbacks. Group three, Oscar only and Florian Leapwoods. Young Guns. Young Guns here, guys. Uh 
heading into that little switchback area. Group four, Roick and Johansson. Group five is the white 
jersey of Remco. So, let’s just get re situated here. Yeah, Yonas is just losing time again, guys. 
It’s not a huge distance on the road. Tatty’s got 3.8 km to go, but Yonas has now lost a further 
1 minute 20 seconds to Tatty. Uh the only group I keep saying Tatty, whatever. No one 
else complained. Uh they’re further   back. I’m going to catch up. You’re going to uh Come on, Yonas. Yes, Marcela. You got it. 
I I think it’s just going to keep growing that gap right now. Don say Narva is the hero. 
He kicked off the attack. You’re right, Don. Yeah, Narva went hard. Uh Pogy jumped right on. 
Yonas was right there, but Narva just kept that acceleration going and going and going so 
long. Then Pogy took over and Yonas just   kind of rubber band snap. looking at leak blur 
up at the top here. Uh Mario go Pogy. Oh yeah, it’s bigger than that. He’s saying 
30 behind. So I’m catching up here,   guys. It’s 124 the gap right now. Uh 
Elite Stuff. What if Pogy joins TVL? Well, that would be insane. That team would be just 
Well, I don’t know if they have the budget for it. Yeah, they’re Yeah. So they’re saying here if 
the broom wagon catches them, they wouldn’t   disqualify. A lot of times in the past there 
have been like a ton of riders that were outside time cuts. They just say, “Yeah, we’re not doing 
that.” They look at the circumstances dayto-day. Uh, okay. New new commenter, Ray Tedros. What 
position did Bing come in? Guys are still he’s still out there racing. Stage is not done 
yet. We’re still a little ways from the   stage finishing. 3.2 2 km to go to the finish. 
Yeah, I’m I’m interested to know what the time cut’s going to be today. So, right now, that 
green jersey group is 23 minutes back. Uh, and they basically just started the climb. They’re 
just starting it. Uh, you can see them down here, guys. The broom wagon just lurking, just 
doing its thing back there. Don’t worry   about us. We’re just here in case you slow 
down so much, you’re going to jump in here. You see the groups, it’s all shattered, 
folks. Full obliteration here. Uh just   like Watts apocalypse by Tatty. And as Dawn 
did say, he called it. Narva set that all up. Narvas really shine today for UAE. Uh 
lots of people cheering on Pogy here. Uh ASD. Yeah. 87 here. St. Rubic, I stop to drink 
when I’m cycling, but I’m not in a race. Yeah. Yeah. Even when I’m inside training here on my 
bike back here, guys, and I’m going hard. My   heart rate’s 185 and I need a drink. The time 
it takes to put that bottle in your mouth and get a drink in, you’ve missed a breath or two, and 
then it’s like, then you’re choking on your water, you’re trying to get back at it. Uh, Timothy is 
asking, “Who’s at the head of the race and how many minutes ahead of the rest?” Uh, Tatty is at 
the front right now. Solo, dude. three less than three kilometers to the finish. He’s riding in a 
10 to 11% gradient right now. He’s now increased his lead to 1 minute 34 seconds over Yonas. Yonas, 
we need more high altitude camps, bro. We need more high altitude cramps. Uh Robert saying, 
“Pocky not appreciating the fans spraying with water.” Yeah, what a weird sport. Fans are right 
there. Uh this wouldn’t be allowed in basketball or football or any other sport. I mean, you don’t 
even know what they’re spraying you with. What if   they’re spraying you with like a coke? Then you’re 
all sticky and Yeah, that wouldn’t be fun. Yona should accept his fate already. If Pogy does not 
compete in the rivers, he might have a chance,   but other riders will come along. Yeah, like 
that’s the point. That’s that’s that’s the issue a lot of cyclists have faced in the past. The 
eternal seconds. There’s been two eternal seconds,   Raymond Pulidor and Yope Zord. Uh they’ve finished 
second all the time to some of the greatest riders of all time. Let’s not forget guys, there was 
like dominant riders before Pogy. Uh Bernardino is one of them. Eddie Mks is another. Uh 
Jacquon Catil as dominant as this. And all the older dudes are going to say, “Oh, Eddie was 
way more dominant.” Uh they just won everything. Uh just a couple kilometers left here for uh 
Pogy. 2.3 km left. Just Tatty’s riding solo. Yeah, they’re saying here Pogy is the Slovenian 
alien. That’s what they call him. Exactly. Uh, we got Rayar delas Ryos cheering on Pogy 
today. Timothy, are you sure about that? Okay, I’m not sure what that’s response to. Uh, yeah, 
guys, I I scroll the messages and then they jump. Uncle Traveling Matty Pogy is way too strong. It 
is off your heart to bet against him moving this   fast. Yeah, exactly. And I mean guys, when we 
see the the time trial tomorrow, we’re going to really know who’s strong on the climbs. Okay, 
this looks interesting. Looks like Lipoitzo. Lipoitz solo. So he I forget who he’s 
just riding with. Got Pogy up front. 1 minute 41 seconds back to uh to Vingo. 
It looks like Lipo is closing the gap to Vingo right now. this Red Bull Ryer, 
the future of Red Bull right there. Uh, and then and then I know people, well, 
Primos needs to retire. He’s only 49 seconds behind his young teammate riding with Johansson 
and Oscar only. Uh, guys, maybe he’s being paid this year to support Florian Lipoitz. Uh, Ramco 
just got caught by a flag on the side of the road. Arm goes up in the air. Gesticulations 
going on here, folks. He’s ticked off.   He knows he’s going to plummet down the standings 
today. Last thing you want is uh someone whipping you in the face with a flag. Crazy fans out there, 
folks. Insanity. The dinosaurs are out. Loving it. Love this guys. Awesome stuff. Lipoitz Jay Taylor 
for Thanks for asking. Lipoitz is dominating. He is going to fly up the GC today. Fly. He’s only 35 
seconds behind Lipoitz. They’re probably screaming in his ears uh to get up there. There’s a group of 
two riders behind him, Oscar only and Johansson. Yeah, you know X rider. Dude, come on, man. This 
guy is incredible. Uh Roick Primos is now riding with Remco. Primos is riding with Remco right now. 
Uh they’re like 30 and 40 seconds gap. Obviously, Primos is not with the young gun. Uh but he he’s 
here to help mentor the young gun. There is a remote chance. Let’s see what we got here, 
guys. 1.4 km remaining for the man himself, the defending champion. Uh three time three-time 
winner so far of the tour to France. He had two years off when Yonas won. Remember Yonas has won 
before, guys. People seem to forget that. But he is on fire right now. 1 minute 48 seconds ahead. 
Uh, looking at the camera here, he’s definitely working hard. He’s out to prove something today. 
Mouth wide open. This is not your calm, cool, collected looking pogy. There’s a sign stuck 
being dragged along by one of the motorbike camera cars camera uh bikes. Uh, guys, stage 
win for Pogy. Yellow jersey goes on his back today. Yonas is chasing hard, but he doesn’t have 
the power to bring him back. Florian Lipoitz is closing the gap to Vingo. I don’t think there’s 
enough time left for uh Leapoitz to catch him. It looks like Yonas is still riding really 
strong, just not at the Slovenian alien level. Uh, okay. This is busy, guys. I don’t know how 
many people are watching this but you guys are blowing my mind today. Uh Marcela, thanks for 
the live stream also. Thank you so much Marcela for being here. Lipoitz is dominating right now. 
Ortaras is saying in all of Tatty right now. Yeah, he is a total beast right now. They’re they 
they’re really showing Florian and Lipoitz a   lot. This is awesome for Bora Hans Growa. 
Bora Hansgrow is kind of a weird team to me. They don’t really have they just seem 
like a quiet team. Not really out there. Probably because Primos has always just been 
a quiet dude. Media want to talk to him? He   doesn’t say a thing. Yeah, whatever. Uh, guys, 
it’s only 25 degrees up here, so it’s still hot, but we’ve dropped seven degrees Celsius. Just 
climbing up. Tatty’s virtually at the top,   guys. Uh, the stream I’m watching, I’m one 
kilometer to the finish. He’s actually 600 meters away. We know who the winner is 
today. Uh, so I’m going to catch up here. Yeah, Jeff. Totally, dude. I thought if 
Venipo would just like I thought he’d   be able to hang with him today. His team is 
weak, but in the end it’s on his shoulders, right? It’s on his shoulders 
uh to win. Uh it’s like a lot   of guys now will be fighting for 
second, third, fourth, and fifth. Yeah, Jeff L’s talking about McGillender 
in here. Seems to be forgotten. Yeah, once the glorious rider of the tour to France Ken here is asking, no, Pogy absolutely made 
uh Yonas implode today. There’s a twominute gap between them right now as Pogy is going to 
win the first HD climb. And I mean guys, Pogy, this is not effortless. He is riding extremely 
hard, rocking back and forward, grimacing as he does this climb. He’s not going easy. He’s out 
to say, “I’m here and I’m the man and I’m gonna win.” Yonas looking a little bit more relaxed. 
Not as maybe as violent on his bike right now. Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe that’s a bad 
thing. Yeah, Jeff. If Yonis loses two minutes,   the tour then his tour is over. Yeah, I agree. 
Uh, everyone goes in hoping for a good day but not hoping that Toggy that Tatty has a good 
day. Exactly. Almost caught up here, guys. Uh Ken’s asking about the crash yesterday. Yeah. 
So guys, it’s showing Tatty wins today. I’m gonna say it Tatty. I’m just saying Tatty. That’s 
what I call him. Uh I’m allowed to. He’s a kid compared to me. Uh Brooke Bulock here. I’m kind of 
bummed there won’t be so much rivalry for the GC,   but remember Yonas. Exactly. Brooke. Yonas in 
23 time trial took one minute and 38 seconds out of the guy you’re looking at on screen 
right now. Tatty crumbled in that time trial.   That was only two years ago. Uh one certain 
Yonas Vingo took 1 minute and 38 seconds on an individual time trial against Tatty. I’m 
hoping we see that. Uh everyone wants to see the battle back and forward. I agree with you 
100%, Brooke. I’m really hoping that happens. Uh yeah, get inside the barriers and get 
protected, right? Uh those insane fans. Uh let’s look here. Wow, Leapowitz is flying up 
the field, folks. Florian Lipowitz for Red Bull Borah is only 10 seconds behind Yonas right now. 
Uh Yonas is in danger of being caught right now. Jonas is in danger of being caught by Florian 
Lipoitz. Let’s have a quick look here. I mean,   take a look at this. Here they are. Florian, 
come on. Sprint, dude. I love a battle. I love a battle. Okay, it’s just changed from six 
to 20 seconds. Yonas will get second place, small time bonus. Florian gets third place and 
he’ll get a small small time bonus. I think it’s I think here it’s just 10, six, and four seconds. Uh 
then we got the Scotsman, another future star, the tour to France. Let’s not forget this guy, Tobias 
Johansson. Uh, I think he’s gonna fly up the GC today. What a performance for UnoX. Not a World 
Tour team, guys. Showing Tatty at the finish. They got the red beverage for him to drink afterwards. 
I think people say that’s cherry juice. I don’t know what it is, but it seems every rider drinks 
it afterwards. Yonas finishing up pretty quick. Uh, Ken’s asking why Raj kind of 
not strong now. I you know, Ken, I guess he’s at the end of his career. He’s 36 
years old. He’s kind of been there, done that.   He’s done everything. I’m sure he’s got tons of 
money in the bank already. Uh he’s probably one of the best athletes out here. Like I said earlier, 
Tatty may have beat him in the road race today, but let’s see how the good they do ski jumping. 
Uh Primos is a really wound athlete. He just has age on his side right now. You know, your 
performance is going to just drop down.   I think the oldest ever Turder France winner was 
35 years old. I’d have to look that up. Uh yeah, Tatty’s first win was the first was 
the 2020 weird postcoid race they did. Ruben’s asking, “Curious about his climb compared 
against history dopers. Betty beats them by a lot.” Yeah, we can look at that. I’m going to 
look that up tonight. Uh, Reuben, what’s funny   is Pontani still has the Altoz time. That’s how 
efficient those drugs were back in the day. So, it kind of boggles my mind. So, there’s riders now 
riding quicker than the extreme drug use was in the ‘9s. And they have so much better equipment, 
so much better clothing, so much better nutrition, so much better training. Yet Pontani was able to 
beat them like flapping loose things, earrings, bandanas, uh bikes that were cruddy by today’s 
comparison. His time is still the fastest. Uh Don say the winners today are Collins 
dudes. Yeah, everyone’s a dude. All dudes. Looking back here, guys, uh Oscar only is going 
into a sprint battle with Tobias uh Johansson here. What a great effort by these guys. I’m 
loving this. Uno X rider. Finishes just like, you know, half a bike length ahead of Oscar 
only, who’s another star. Uh coming up next,   we got Remco and Kevin Vocalon. Guys, I’m 
actually watching the stream now. I find I’m watching less of the stream as I’m doing this 
here. Uh but then I catch up later. I end up watching a lot of this again later. Kevin Valon 
moving forward. I don’t think Remco is going to contest him here on the sprint finish here. Some 
guys just want to finish higher. So Kevin Bakalon, another upand cominging star from a 
smaller team just finishes ahead of Remco. Okay guys, so here’s what you can look at 
now. Time cut off is 44 minutes, 45 minutes. The green jersey group is 25 minutes behind. 
So everyone should make it in unless someone   implodes on the climb. I’m going to catch up 
with the chat, guys. How long we been going for? Oh yeah, we’re flying guys. Almost another 
five hour stream. Thanks everyone. Some   guys have been here the whole time. Some 
guys have been here the whole time. Uh, wow, you guys are so active and so knowledgeable 
in the chat. Uh, so Timothy saying, “Broo, the next TT is a mountain TT.” Uh, that will be 
tough. Brooke, that’s tomorrow. Don’t miss that, guys. I’m streaming every second of it. I’ll 
probably jump on even earlier tomorrow. Uh,   could Pogy win the JRO tour and vault in the same 
year? Uh, possibly. I was talking to Steven Cycles about it. So, last year Tatty did do the JRO tour 
double. That’s one of the hardest doubles you can do. I think they kind of get worn out by the time 
the Valta comes around. They’re kind of like, “Okay, man. I’m done.” Uh, but yeah, I would 
love to see a Jurro Tour Valta triple. I’d love to see it. I don’t think anyone’s 
done that. I’d have to look it up. Uh yeah. Okay. Sorry guys. Hang on a second 
here. Uh we’re going to look at it now. We’ll look at the general ranking now. So guys, 
this is today now. This should be today. Wow. Pogy has a twominut 10-second lead over Vingo. And 
check this out. Florian Lipoitz mentored by Primus Rajik himself is third standing on the podium 
223 behind made massive inroads to uh Vingigo’s lead. Uh he’s only 13 seconds behind Vingo. Uh 
check this dude out right here. Tobias Johansson for Yuno Xmobility went from 10th place at the 
start of the day. He is now fourth overall. Uh 37 seconds behind third place. Could you imagine 
if Uno X got on the podium? Minds would be blown. Uh minds would be blown, folks. Oscar only moves 
from seventh to fifth overall. He’s three minutes behind Pogy overall. Kevin Vocalon in sixth. I 
think Kevin’s back to where he roughly was. 353 down. Kevin had a great day. Not an incredible 
day, but he’s in there. Uh Remco has lost some time. Went from third overall to seventh. Remco 
had probably an average day at best for him. Uh he just doesn’t have the climbing legs. Felix 
Gaul now open up open to eighth. I think he’s   bumped up today, too. That’s all I’ve got so far, 
guys. Uh I want to get through the chat here, hang out with you guys some more. Uh my poll went 
past a thousand. Hey Tony, no thank you. Hey guys, I just want to Did my poll really go past a 
thousand votes? Are you kidding me? Uh yeah. So, Mark, Taddyy now has a 2 minute 10-second 
lead. And guys, I love your comments. Uh,   anyone that watches this, don’t be hesitant to ask 
me a question. Uh, because it it reminds me what to talk about. Uh, I’m thinking about this and I’m 
thinking about that. I’m thinking about what I’m   going to do later. That question is perfect. 
So, Tatty has a 2 minute 10-second lead over Yonas. Guys, maybe the yellow jerseys gone. Maybe 
we’re going to have the Tatty boring march to the finish now. Whatever you call maybe if you love 
Pogy, that’s great. Uh but we’re going to see a   really cool battle now between second and third. 
Uh Florian Leapowitz it won’t be content with third. He wants second. Carlos. Okay. So Raj look 
across. Remember he should be retired according to everyone. Uh 4 minutes and 8 seconds back. 
Ninth place overall GC standings. Okay. Sorry guys. Yeah. Okay. I did mess it up guys. That’s 
general ranking. Okay. That’s today’s ranking. I’m sorry folks. Okay, so general ranking, it’s 
even worse for Vingo. He’s 331 down. Remco is 445. Lipoitz is in fourth. So Remco actually did 
manage to hold on. Uh he’s in fourth. Kevin Valon is in fifth. That’s the GC. So what we were 
looking at before here, stage rankings. Okay, that makes more sense now. But Lipowitz pulled 
back a ton of time today. I think today Leapoitz started in eighth or ninth place overall and after 
today’s stage he’s now moved up into third. No, it keeps bouncing back. General ranking GC. It’s 
refreshing in the background by itself. Lipoitz is now in fourth place overall. Fifth place Oscar, 
sorry, Kevin Bakalon. So, he’s moved back up. Oscar only started the day in seventh. He’s now 
in sixth place. He did get a 4-se secondond time bonus I believe. Uh Roick has is saying Roick 
has moved up too into seventh. Johansson’s in eighth. Okay. So Johansson finished really well on 
the stage today. Uh but either way, eighth place for UNOX. That’s incredible. Uh okay. So Tonyy’s 
saying this is what Tony says. He goes, “Your poll Tony, it’s your poll, dude. Let’s give you 
credit. So, Tony created the poll for today,   guys. Uh, and sent it to me. He goes, 
“Hey, if you want to use this,” absolutely, do Tony, think of another good one. Um, 
so thank you Tony for that. Robert saying, “Thank you for hosting this chat.” Robert, 
you’re number two in the chat today. Thank   you so much. Jeff L Poggy closing the 
deal. Yeah guys, it’s probably going to be a battle for everyone else now. We still 
got a ways to go. People can’t have bad days. Yeah, Jun saying here. The good thing 
about Pogy, he’s very humble. Yeah,   he doesn’t say a lot. He’s just pretty chill, 
pretty cool about it. Fit Rudy’s here cheering on Yonas. I I hope Yonas can do something 
special coming up. David Paragas. Looks like   Pogy will defend his titles here. Yeah, that’s 
it’s looking like that already. And I think, you know, before the tour even started, guys, 
he was far and away the odds on favorite. Far and away the odds on favorite. So to see 
this happening, this is not like wow, unexpected. Everyone kind of expected 
this. Anyone that was putting odds on it, uh Jonas is saying this will be uh sorry, Jeff’s 
saying this will be Yonis’ last contract. Um Jun saying Pogy does give other riders chances 
to win. I saw one year that I was like, come on, dude. Give him a chance. And the unfortunate 
thing, it’s a rider that passed away. He was   on a breakaway all day by himself. And 
it seemed like in the last 200 meters, Pogy. I’m pretty sure it was Pogy. I could 
be wrong. Anyway, the leader of the tour that   year could have just basically gifted him the 
stage win because that rider was so far behind, but he passed him and took it for himself. And 
I was like, are you kidding me? I forget the   writer’s name. He’s now passed away. I was 
trying to think about it this morning. Uh Julius is saying, “Pogy just ruined the 
tour for everyone. Fans, athletes.” Dude,   we’re still going to be here. We 
still love the tour. Uh we will be watching it all. Name is currently 
unavailable. I like your name,   dude. Name is currently unavailable. Saying 
dopers of a new generation. Thanks for the great stream from Uncle Traveling Maddie here. 
Uh oh, wow. just when I think I’m caught up. Okay, Brandon, cherry juice uh drink high in 
antioxidants, anti-inflammatory. Definitely part of the race. Reason races are faster 
now. Antioxidant natural supplements. Okay,   good to know that, dude. I 
know they’re all drinking it. Uh Lucas is saying, Lucas is correcting me here. 
Lucas Jurassic. Uh yo, the bike in the 90s weren’t so bad. Yeah, they’re not that bad. They’re 
pretty good. Remember, it’s a climb. Yeah,   dude. You’re right. I agree with you. Just the new 
bikes have all the tech electronic shifting and uh because they do. That’s one thing 
I would say though. So, I guess Lucas,   my point was people ask, why are the new 
riders so fast if the old riders were all doped? It’s a million new reasons. It’s the 
clothes, it’s the helmets, it’s the training, it’s the nutrition, it’s the bikes, it’s the 
techs, it’s the tires, it’s this and that. Yet,   some of the old records still stand. So, is it 
that all making them faster or I don’t know. Uh, Niagara region. This is Anna again from 
the the Niagara region. Thank you, Colin,   for an exciting morning. Listen to 
St. Anna. Thanks for hanging out here. Elite stuff saying they aren’t doping. Yeah, guys,   there is a lot of things 
in place to prevent doping. Dave’s asking if we should quit watching the tour 
of friends. No, Dave, don’t do that. Just come   hang out every day and tell us what you know about 
cycling. We’d appreciate it. Uh there’s going to be battles with him. We’re going to be watching 
the future stars. Ben Healey is just finishing   now, guys. Uh stage rankings. So, I’ll come back 
to the stage rankings here next ranking. So, we’ve seen Carlos Rodriguez finish. Uh sorry, that’s 
Christian Rodriguez for Arca. He had a really good day. And you can see it’s it keeps refreshing 
on me every time someone crosses. That’s quite   annoying on this website. Matteo Jorgensson 
finished 10 minutes behind Tatty today. Wow. Ben O’ Conor almost 11 minutes back. And this is 
today guys. That hero that went out early on. Uh Bruno on the descent. He ended up being almost 11 
minutes back. Tatty caught him on the climb pass him and put 11 minutes into him. That’s how strong 
his climb was. Uh back to the race here. We’re just going to look at this. See where everyone 
is out there. You can see the other groups are   still climbing. It’s been 15 minutes to cut off. 
They still have 35 minutes to avoid the cutoff. Yeah, Bret. Perfect. The rest of the podium 
is going to be very exciting to watch. Plenty   of riders chasing that. I don’t see Yonas even 
getting second. These youngster Yeah, good stuff, man. Wouldn’t it be cool to see Florian work his 
way to top? Oscar only get up there. What about   the UNOX guy? Uh, guys, I love them all. Uh, maybe 
I sign Bioesta Times. Uh, I try not to be. I do love all the riders. I just want to see it mixed 
up, too. Oh, yeah. Uh, the EF team drinking out   of their little blue boxes. They look like little 
blue cartons. I don’t know what they’re drinking. Someone’s going to say full EPO. It’s EPO and 
vodka. Uh, a good day for Yeah, Holly’s right. A good day for Pogy. Yonas doing his best, guys. 
Yeah, that’s what you got to remember. Yonas is   out there absolutely burying himself. And think 
about it. It’s pretty easy to armchair and go, “Yeah, he sucked today. He didn’t have a great day 
and he has to live with it.” And he he’s watching his tour of France ride away from him. Yeah, 
I could easily see uh second and third place being occupied by brand new riders this year. Uh, 
Lipoitz only. Uh, who else is there? Now, guys, you know, I do like Primos. You know what? I I 
don’t think I’ve ever even been a real Primos fan. It’s the fact that everyone’s so against them. 
So, Pogy in first, Yonas at 330, Remco at 445, Florian’s at 534. I could see Leapwoods could be 
out there. Vocalon only. Uh Tobias Johansson is in the mix. Felix Gaul is another rider. It just 
how do they all perform for the rest of the tour? Uh so Jorgensson now has dropped a 
I think he was fifth place at the   start of the day. He’s dropped down 
to 10th place. So not a great day for uh Jorgensson. Really not a great 
day for Vizma all around. Uh Neil’s saying Tatty was amazing or he 
needs to recalibrate his trainer. Guys,   we talk about calibrating our 
trainers inside all the time. If your trainer is not calibrated, 
it can give you Tatty like power. Uh we got a new writer, a new commenter 
here, Felis Aonda. Nothing points to uh Vingo beating Tatty in the time trial. 
Uh the only thing I can say Feliz is uh at the last big race in June cartoon deafany 
or was it turtis? Yeah, I forget now. Uh first place was Renco, second place was Yonas, 
third place was Tatty. Whatever that tells you. That could be anything. That could be he was worse 
than them. That could be he had a slightly off   day. That could be him him going, “I don’t care. 
I’ll take third.” We never know. But yeah, good point. Uh, Brooke, thanks. This is a great stream. 
Okay, Brooke, we’ll see you tomorrow. Thanks for being here. Uh, I just saw Stephen Cycles only 
will keep me watching. Yes. Uh, Najoro here. First time here. Amazing stream. Thanks. No, dude. Thank 
you for being here. What time are we looking at,   guys? I’m a few minutes behind in this chat here. 
Uh, after mountain climbs, Pogy could even beat them riding in a wheelie. Joke, joke, joke. Okay. 
Yeah, it’s okay. Uh, Mr. Debbiosi’s back. I might   sound crazy for saying this, but I’d rather see 
the rainbow jersey on Pogy than the yellow. Okay. Uh, Julius Caesar, fans got dropped. YouTubers 
and networks are trying to mitigate. Thanks for your coverage, but I’m out. Okay, Julius, 
take it easy, dude. See you around. Uh, Fit Rudy, there are so many new supplements out 
and now with AI, they will research and provide incredible performance enhance. Yeah, as long 
as all the subs are legitimate and uh approved, we’re good to use them. Uh June will be back. 
Thanks. Thank you very much. Says, “Keep it   up. Nice commentating. We’ll keep on watching, 
dude. I appreciate it.” Uh Dan Dan’s a new guy here. Coused all three hours and broke Oh, cous 
did all three tours and broke himself. Yes, Dan. Uh, fit Rudy again. Yeah, dude. We We don’t know what supplements 
they take, what’s allowed, what’s not allowed. They’re all going to bend the rules a little 
bit. Every team is trying to do this. Uh, some are just new supplements that get developed 
and might help them. Did anyone time this? Ruben, I’m going to look afterwards and uh I’ll 
have that all stuff for tomorrow or I’ll chat with you about it later. Uh Jimmy Gabber 
today is a very entertaining and yet a pretty chill rider. He shows great sportsmanship. You 
can’t blame for trying to do his best. Yep,   that’s right. Yonas may be behind and may 
not catch him, but you never know. Exactly, dude. You just don’t know. All it takes 
is for Tatty to wake up one day feeling   like garbage and it goes the other way. 
It could go to someone else altogether. Yeah, Don’s got it here. Anyone who’s been 
dominant for any sport is under drugging scrutiny. Always. And I’d say particularly cycling because 
it’s been around in the past. Uh Ruben’s saying, “If I’m right, it was 3512.” Uh Ruben, let me 
see if I can figure this out here. I think if I go over here and have a look, I can give 
the standings for each climb. Like basically start uh category. I’m trying to see the results 
for the climb. Yeah, I’ll I’ll dig around here, Ruben. I’ll let you know. Uh standings. 
Okay, there’s the standings there. No, I don’t want to see it. I can find st. 
So, right now, team classification,   Visma, most aggressive rider. Uh 
Jonas Abrahamson, best young rider, still Ben Healey. Uh I think that’s a points. 
Yeah, I think this is all going to change. Yeah, this is yesterday, guys. So that doesn’t matter 
that stuff there. Uh so Ruben saying 3512 for the hoticcom thinking Reese was faster than So what 
would that have been 96 for Ree 29 years ago? I guess what you’re saying, this is what I look 
at it. 29 years ago, EPO was so potent that it’s still keeping them ahead or today’s new tech is 
so good that it’s getting them that much closer. I you can look at it 10 different ways. Uh beat 
LeBlanc, Luke Leblanc, Pontani, Veron, Armstrong, and Olrich. Uh Don saying, “Sorry, nobody else 
will have the eligibility for the next nine days. No, the climbers compare. They need to train 
harder and have a V2 max in 9 to5. Yeah, probably. Uh, yeah, June saying, “I saw a video of Gizma 
always saying positive. Thanks to writers, especially being very hard on his riders. He 
should give them motivations.” Carl Herszog here. First time following your broadcast. 
Great job. Thanks, dude. Thank you very much,   Carl. Thanks. I’d like to see the tour live 
in the next few years. Would Paris be one of the best locations to view? I you know if 
I ever go I’m going to the mountain stages.   I’d like to be in the Pyrenees. That’s where I 
want to be. Starts in Barcelona next year. Uh Mark poll idea. Just as there is a combative 
award, should there be a domestic award for   each stage? The award will highlight the 
responsibilities and complexities. Yeah, there probably should be. I think I did see a race 
that had that. Uh I’ve been doing a whole review of last year. all the races that guys I don’t 
know anything about. I know the cyclists. I’m   trying to follow the ones that have the best 
competition that people will be interested in. Uh Mr. Debbiosi here. I really enjoyed the 
stream. Everyone here seems very knowledgeable and I’m learning so much. I like, subscribe, and 
tune in every day. Dude, thank you so much. Uh Don saying Nares is the MVP for the day. He’s the 
one that kicked it all off. It will all be on the recaps. And unfortunately, Dawn Dawn put all his 
money in on Victor Campen Arts for today. Uh he was absolutely convinced that Victor was going to 
time travel away to the victory. It didn’t happen sadly. Don stage rankings, guys. Just quickly 
through here. Yeah. What’s insane right now, it’s only showing 43 riders have finished. So that 
tells me there’s a ton of riders out on course still. Couple of big groups. What do we got left 
on course? 63 riders on. Okay, here is probably someone that lost the most today. Enrich Mass 
is going to go from 13th place down to who knows 50th. He was 13th overall. Roma Gregar who had 
a great early season. Gregoire for Groupama FDJ 19th. He is going way down. Bman as well who’s 
been quietly lurking in 20th. going way down. Uh although these riders are all ranked 
close together, there’s a lot of top 30 riders here. Here’s Matthew Vanderpool. Uh 
Blackmore there, Quinn Simmons in 36th place overall at the moment. Uh yeah, these guys are 
losing massive amounts of time. Way back here, 61 riders. So guys, 61 riders here, 63. 
We have 124 riders still out on course, still climbing the hotcom. What is that cut 
off? Just want to see that again quickly. Uh I think nope, I don’t want to do that there. 
Nope, I don’t want to do that there. Yeah. So, there’s a lot of riders still out 
there trying to get to the end. Uh, okay. There’s always these comments. Raserifi is 
talking about Pogy being the most dope rider. I mean, he’s dude, he’ll be getting tested right 
after the stage, so I don’t know how he gets away with it. Always would be an awesome mountain top 
to visit. I will leave my bike at the hotel. Yeah, dude. Like, I think the stage I would least 
likely go to would be Paris. It’s just my   opinion. Paris might have all the history and all 
the other cool stuff. Like if you want to do both, like if you’re there more for the experience of 
Paris, uh yeah, take the stage in as well. But if you want to see the real tour to France, I would 
be like out in the Pyrenees, the Massie Central, uh the Alps somewhere, maybe up when they’re 
taking on the Doommites. That’s where I would go. Yeah. I don’t know what Boston Per 
was saying here. He was unlucky.   Uh Timothy’s cheering for July 24th. Which stage 
is that? We finish on the 27th. Uh 2120. Oh, I’ve lost track, guys. But 
stage 19 or something. Yeah,   Dawn. Exactly. There’s people out there 
still riding right now. Still giving her. Here they are. These guys here are still 
four and a half kilometers to the finish. riders that are two hours behind in this group. 
Uh Dillier here being one of the main workh horses for Alpison. He was on the front all 
the time at the beginning. Uh Enri Mass who started the day only 5 minutes and 56 seconds 
back. He’s losing huge amounts of time today. Uh the sprint jersey group back here, highest 
ranked rider, 47th place, 48th place. And Virture still hanging in there. Uh last place 
overall the tour to France. 172nd place. He’s 2 hours and 14 minutes down right now. They’re 
currently 20 minutes behind uh the leaders. I think if I come back here. So that was 
our profile today, guys. Our map routes. Uh, tomorrow is going to be absolutely insane. I want 
to show you the route for tomorrow. Please join me for that one. Uh, if you’re not into time trials, 
but you like climbing, this is the one for you. We’re going to see who’s really tired, who’s got 
the legs tomorrow. So, this is our profile today.   Tomorrow, uh, 10.9 km, 650 something meters of 
climbing. Said it before, let’s say it again. The first three kilometers don’t really even 
count. They’re just slightly uphill. You can see here it’s green. That’s like 0ero to 2.9% 
gradient. That’s false flat. There’s a little tiny bit of downhill after one kilometer. 
Kilometer 1 to kilometer 2 or downhill. More false flat. The climbing starts at 3 km. And it’s 
basically when we take the corner and uh head up the climb. I’m going to show you guys that too. 
We need to go to that one there. Have a look. We start down in the valley, head our way out of 
town, flat, falls flat. That hard corner there, that’s where it really starts. Bottom 
half of the climb in the trees,   and the top half of the climb is all out in 
the open. Uh, this is going to be an allout effort. Probably flip the GC again. Doesn’t 
look that steep, but it’s a lot of climbing   in a short distance. Here’s our rankings. 
Uh, obviously this was from yesterday. And here’s the general ranking 
now in the individual. Actually,   who guy’s the climber now? This will be 
interesting to know. Uh, Tatty is now tied with Lenny Martinez. And it’s one of those 
things where the latest guy to get the points becomes the wearer of it. Michael Woods, I 
did say he was going to be in the running,   22 points, but Tatty came along and took all 
those points at the end. Ben Healey still in fourth, Bruno Amarel in fifth. Uh, the most 
important thing is this yellow jersey here. Uh, Ruben, yeah, Ruben saying nearly 30,000 subs. 
I think it was Steven Cycles who asked me a few   days ago. He goes, Colin, he goes, “You think 
you get 30,000 subs?” I I guys, I don’t think about it too much. Uh, it’s cool to see it grow. 
Uh, I’m more interested in how this chat forms and the cycling knowledge here. Uh, it will be 
30,000 before the end of the tour, but it’s not like I’m tracking it. I just looked and went, 
“Yeah, it looks about I should get there.” Uh, what are you doing? Oh, Ruben wants to know 
what I’m doing if I hit 30,000 subs. I don’t   I don’t know. Uh, yeah. Uphill time trial 
tomorrow, guys. Okay, guys. I think I’ve been streaming for over five hours. I don’t 
want to blow the internet up anymore. So guys,   what I’m do, I appreciate everyone being here. 
Uh, what a fantastic stream this was. I can’t see even how many people watched yet. So when 
I finish this, I stop streaming from OBS. Then I shut down the actual stream that’s in 
YouTube, which is dead already. Anyways,   it gives me a result page, and it always 
blows my mind the numbers I see there. So, I’m hoping you guys can continue to help me 
grow the channel and push forward and maybe have, you know, the amateur version being the thing 
that everyone wants to see because it’s something   different than what the pros are doing. All they 
do is just talk to you and they have their little scripts that they read. I see it all the time. 
I see people reading off scripts. There’s no   script here, guys. There’s nothing. This is 
what I do. Um, I like the natural authentic thing. You guys let me know. Obviously, I think 
you guys are liking it. I appreciate everyone   being here. I’m going to fly on out, guys. 
Uh, thanks for watching and we’re going to see
