Tour de France 2025: Stage 14 MOUNTAIN MADNESS #tourdefrance2025 #tdf2025 #tourdefrance

Hey TDF Fans! and ICW Fans!
Get ready to take on the Grand Daddy of all climbs at the Tour de France. 183km and 5000m of climbing takes the riders to the original high Alpine pass of the tour at the Col du Tourmalet(HC), next its the Aspin(Cat 2), then the Col du Peyresourde(Cat 1) and we finish up an HC finish at Superbagneres ski station. This may actually be the Queen stage of this years Tour de France although others argue its Stage 19. Either way, this one will see some huge fireworks go off as we hit the Western slopes of the Tourmalet, for the 89th time it has been climbed at the TdF. It doesn’t end there with 3 more categorized climbs to follow. @LeTourDeFrance

Morning everyone. Well, Saturday, stage 14 2025 
tour to France, guys. Yesterday was insane up the perig goods uh individual mountain time trial. 
Tatty Pogachar uh proved once again that he is the strongest rider out there. Uh couple of notes to 
that too though. I noticed that a few of the other top GC guys, uh, particularly Yonas, looked very 
strong yesterday. And I think there’s I’ve read a bunch of stuff yesterday after the stage, uh, 
how much time he probably could have saved by not being on that TT bike. There’s very little room 
to save at the bottom. They said maximum time you   could maybe save in the first five 3 km was about 
5 seconds. After that, you’re just losing the whole way. So, I don’t know. Maybe could he have 
half that loss, but it’s good to see Yonas back. Yonas looking strong. Okay, guys. Here we go. We 
got things rolling now. Uh the stage is getting ready to start soon. Like the neutralized start is 
right at uh for me, guys. 4:00 in the morning. So, we are definitely fueled by coffee today, guys. 
Actually, today it’s coffee and Pop-Tarts. Uh living large. Uh, I’m eating now like I was well 
the Pop-Tarts anyway when I was 14 years old. Uh, I got back into them, folks. I got back into them. 
Let’s check out the official classification here   and make sure that everything is up and running. 
Yes, it is back in the Inside Cycling World jersey. Uh, I’ve rotated through every jersey 
now, guys. Uh, we are waiting on the arrival of the Metallica novelty jerseys. I guess I’m 
going to use them. Uh, I think I got a Creeping Death. Is it Creeping Death? Yeah, I think I got a 
Creeping Death jersey coming. Maybe it’s Ride the Lightning. I can’t remember. Uh, you know, the 
blue album, second album. I love that one. Um, okay guys, let me get in here. Just getting in 
here. First guy in this morning, I think it was   Colin Coats. Colin Coats, let’s go indeed, dude. 
Let’s go. I threw a chat up there today. Hopefully you guys take a look at that. Again, guys, early 
early start for me. Uh, I was I first woke up at 2:09. So, and I kind of I think I kind of 
laid in bed for another 20 minutes and said, “Let’s just get up. I don’t use alarms. Let’s go.” 
Getting after it today, folks. Uh, they are all lined up in the neutralized start area here. Uh, 
no one’s gone right to the front. I think they’re   doing presentations right now. Actually, I can see 
riders on the line right now. So, guys, what do we have on tap? Let’s take a look here. Got some 
really cool stuff to show you today. Uh stage 14 uh POW to Lucon Super Banire. It’s this stage 
here. We’re just going to jump into it right now. 183 km 182.6. Tatty’s on the line right now. Remco 
is there too. Uh polka dot jersey is being worn by Lenny Martinez. He’s actually giving a special 
thanks to uh Tatty right now. Thank you. Uh Tatty definitely the patronon of the uh tour to France 
right now. Uh insane how strong he is. Uh my question for you guys is how long can he stay at 
this level? How long can he stay at this level? Uh Colin quotes. Uh lol I’m just on the bike before 
work. Colin’s got his his big shift coming up and uh I will get some coffee after the chat. Like 
dude yeah dude I need to live on it today. I don’t   know how I’m getting through today. Uh, I’m doing 
this. This should take about six hours, I think. And then, uh, this will be my longest stream 
ever. Quinn Simmons looking respondent with the,   uh, the mullet rocking out the back there. Still 
love the jersey. See Neil Plet sitting in the background there. Just the teeth are grinning. 
That guy’s got some big teeth on him, doesn’t   he? Reminds me of the Tvago guy. You guys know who 
I’m talking about, right? Tvago guy. Uh anyways, let’s jump in here, guys. We’ll take a look at 
the route here. Check this puppy out here. Uh POW to Lucon Superbars. Start out with about 70 km 
of flat. Problem is there’s a sprint point there at 70.1 km. Uh sprint points are available today. 
There’s still a fight for the sprint. Uh I can see sprint teams pushing hard here and keeping the 
pace quite high. Right after that sprint point, we are in Lucio Sovier. I can’t that’s a hard name 
for me to pronounce. That is the start town of the OG original climb at the call to first ridden 
in 2010. Sorry, 1910 guys. So 115 years ago, this thing was ridden for the first time. Uh 
it’s brutally hard. 19 km long, 7.4%. It’s kind of like a giant alpine pass. It’s very wide 
open. You’re not really crowded in the trees. Like say on the lower half of the Vonto where you’re 
tucked in the trees. This thing’s wide open the   whole way. Uh I do have a really cool video to 
show you about it. Uh Colin saying I need to get a standing desk. Absolutely. Dude, I’m think Dude, 
Colin, I’m thinking about doing a whole new design   here. The setup. The more I do this, the more I 
realize I need a better setup. Uh I want it to be maybe less green screen, maybe more me. We’ll 
go with this for now. I know it’s bright on me, guys. Uh, this light’s going to wake me up. So, 
we got four categorized climbs today. We got the   call to termite, we got the call to Aspen, we got 
the call to Perryord. That’s the neighbor to the ride we did yesterday, the pair of goods up that 
uh to that little runway strip. You could probably actually see the road from that runway strip 
yesterday. Uh, and then we finish up at uh Super Banier Ski Station. It’s an HC climb, guys. Uh, 
we have not been up Super Baners since 1989. So, 36 years. Uh, some of these roads, especially with 
it being HC hilltop finishes, some of these roads will be a hilltop finish. Some will be uh you pass 
through them. The tour does it differently every year. However, in cases like Super Baners, uh it’s 
a dead-end road. It stops there. So, it can really only be used as a hilltop finish, if that makes 
sense. You’re not going to like go up over the   top and then go cross country, ride down the ski 
hill on your road bike. Uh it’s a dead end road. That’s where we finish. Uh Robert’s here. Hey, 
everyone’s starting to slowly drift in. Loving it, guys. Uh the likes yesterday were amazing. I 
think I finished the stage with 268 likes. And that’s probably the most important metric to me 
that people are liking my videos. Uh we are in a   neutralized start, guys. Uh looks like it’s about 
6.8 km long. So, what I’ll do right now, uh, let’s Where’s the official briefing? I want to see the 
start. H, usually my little video is there. Okay, that’s fine. Preparing for the stage. Maybe we 
can see it up here. Uh, well, we can’t. Nar live stage. Yeah, guys, what I want you to know, too, 
is that it’s wet on the ground out there. It’s not   very warm. I think I saw the forecast for today 
was maybe 14 or 15 degrees C. Uh if we go to the rankings here, general ranking, got to jump back 
to stage 13. General ranking. Uh pretty obvious Tatty is in the lead, folks. Uh 4 minutes and 7se 
second lead over Yonas Fingo. Yonas looked really improved yesterday. He did say that’s probably the 
best ride he’s ever done in his life. Uh he really wasn’t that far up. It was a 36-second difference. 
And that kind of difference on a time trial to me is, you know, those are the big hitters. I think 
Yonas could have saved some time uh by not using that TT bike and that mushroom helmet. That is 
such a goofy looking helmet. Cycling uh not doing much to make yourself look cool. Right now, uh 
we are heading out of PO. Slowly heading out, guys. Uh Remco would probably be he’s still third 
overall, but uh yeah, third by six seconds over Florian Lipitz. Lipowitz for Bora Red Bull. 
Borhansore had an incredible TT yesterday. Uh Remco absolutely imploded on that last segment. 
Uh he’s not the only one. I saw other riders do it. The unfortunate thing for Remco yesterday 
was that he was caught in that final 400 meters and passed by Yonas. It was like I was watching 
it going, there’s no way. There’s no way. Yeah, right by him. Yonas was going hard. Team Simmons 
on the front uh in the neutral start here. Uh maybe Quinn’s up to something today, guys. Take 
a look at the poll up above. Uh just a little   quick refresher. Is Pogy going to extend his 
lead? Is Vizma going to attack? Guys, the Vizma plan. Uh I don’t know some people are making 
fun of this. I’ve seen lots of comments. Oh, I thought Vizma had a plan, bro. I I just love 
that. It’s like, yeah, they still have a plan.   They’re still a team and they’re still going to 
compete. Uh remember, go on betting odds. Pogy is the handsdown favorite to win this. So, when you 
see Pogy doing well, it’s to be expected. Uh it’s it shouldn’t be a surprise. Um Vizma has their 
plan how they’re going to go about trying to deal with Pogy. They’ve done it before. They have done 
it in the past, but Vizma has to be the team has to be gelled and uh on their game, folks. Okay. 
Uh just going to look at some stuff here. So, live streams up. I’m running. That’s on screen 
there. Everything’s good to go, guys. Let’s just jump back into here for a second. Uh and what 
I’ll try to do you here, that’s off. That’s off. People are slow looking. Brandon is finally 
getting in here, dude. Good to see you again. Let’s watch. Uh, guys, we still got 
a few minutes till the start here. Uh, extended might be too long. Let’s do the last 
kilometer of the time trial from yesterday. Now the subtitles are on. Hey AI, get good. It’s 
terrible. Uh, the AI captioning is so bad. In places it’s good and other times it’s just 
horrible. I don’t even know what I’m reading at   times. Uh, we’re just watching Tatty up that 
last S. Guys, this wall here is brutal. It’s about 400 m of like 15 16% plus uh when you see 
the world’s best cyclist uh working this hard, rocking back and forward, uh you know 
it’s steep. So again, if you’re new here, uh my name’s Colin. People asked yesterday, 
“What’s your first name, dude?” Yeah, you can   see they’re they’re calling Bingo Wendergard. 
I’m just like, come on. I thought AI was going to solve all the problems of the world. It’s 
not, folks. I hate AI to be honest. Uh I think it has very limited uses. So Joey likes to use it. 
Vingo finish. Sorry. Patchar finishing here. Uh 36 seconds over the next place rider. Awesome stuff. 
Awesome stuff, guys. We’ll bounce out of that there. I’m still looking for the uh the video for 
today’s stage. Like where is my little, you know, my little scenic route that I like to show you 
guys? Ah, maybe they don’t have one today. Well, we could look at the stage teaser here. Let’s 
do that. Maybe it’s going to be hidden in here. I’ll have a sip of coffee, guys. Can Taddyy take three stages here in a row? Yeah. 
Okay. This is what I want to see. Call to charm.   Called Aspan, called a Perry Sword, Lucon up to 
the ski station at Super Baners or Super Bangers, I’ve heard it called. I’ll probably start 
calling it that, too. Just something I   would do. There’s the mushroom helmet. Uh, 
Primos looking awesome yesterday to me. Uh, does he look like he needs to retire yet? What did 
he get? I don’t even know what he got yesterday,   guys. I can’t remember now. I should know. 
This is all I’ve been doing lately. I have If you If you think you got tour fever, 
dudes, I got tour fever right now. Uh,   it’s kind of all I’ve been thinking about. 
Let’s get to We’re going to jump here now to the I want to make sure I’m live on route. 
Yeah, here’s the live section here. Just so think things are probably going to take off 
real quick. Still in the neutralized start,   guys. Let’s get into the chat. Keep that screen 
dark. Turn this one up. Uh, yeah, standing desk would be good. Robert, good morning, dude. Yeah, 
Robert, I I saw that yesterday, too. the Baloo uh Balo Ladies Belgium Tour 40k to go watching it for 
free on YouTube. But listen to you, Colin. Yeah, dude. There’s a lot of races on. There’s also that 
other at the race where that um unfortunately that   rider passed away at. That one’s on too. Uh 
the something Aosta or Costa something like uh Brandon lots of those things will happen. 
All of the above and daily question. Yeah,   I know right. Uh, this is such an 
awesome day. Anything can happen. Uh, I think I said to someone yesterday, it’s Tatty’s 
tour to lose now. Today, tomorrow, but today, uh, everyone says it differently. Anyways, um, he 
needs to defend. We have, uh, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. We have eight stages left and a rest day. 
We have nine days that he needs to keep control uh to win in Paris at the end. He does have a big 
lead of four minutes. Weirder stuff’s happened   in the past, guys. Uh Vizma is a strong team and 
if they’re all firing and everything’s all eight cylinders are firing at the same time, get it? 
Eight cylinders, eight riders. Do they have eight   riders still? Uh they may be able to do something. 
It’s possible. We know uh today actually I saw a quick article didn’t read it yesterday. They’re 
saying like he might be just a genetic freak.   Uh and guys have said a lot of things about him. 
You know when someone does this well guys maybe his V2 max is just so far off the charts uh that 
the numbers we’re used to seeing don’t even make sense anymore. Don’t even make sense. Uh like Greg 
Lamont used to be I think a 92 or 93. Actually, I heard again yesterday Lance was in the low 80s. 
Jonathan Bers was supposedly over 90 something. Uh like low 90s. The world’s highest was right around 
100. I mean, what if Tatty is working around walking around with a 140? Like so far beyond 
what’s what we’ve ever seen in humans before that he’s got a natural advantage. I’m also going 
to throw at that point. Is that fair? I mean, uh yeah, just conspiracy theories here, Colin. 
Um, Steven Cycles here. Steven’s here already, dude. Steven’s I’m going to show off some of our 
video we did together way back when. We need to   do more of those, man. Uh, low visibility at the 
moment on top of the turmoil and the finish. Yeah, I think it looks like uh rain in places 1415 
degrees C. Uh, Luke Plap on screen. That guy did such an awesome job yesterday. Uh, sat in 
the uh hot seat for it seemed like 3 hours. Start should be firing off here pretty quick, guys. 
Catching up with chat. Uh, Bruce Shoot here. Okay, Bruce was here yesterday. Uh, morning call. Still 
watching French feed and cons and listening to you on tablet. Thanks. Yeah, thanks for being here, 
Bruce. Love it. If everyone can like the videos, I’m getting better at doing that, guys. I’ve 
only been doing this for coming up on three   years and I’m the worst person for asking you 
to hit the like button, but that like button, it gets sent out to other people and that’s what 
I needed to do. Name is currently available. Good morning. Can’t believe Lance Lance 
Armstrong stall you’re here, dude. I know,   right? I actually watched Lance a couple days 
ago. Uh, and yeah, like most of my tour era that I watched the most was the Lance era. Uh, loved 
them, hated them, loved them, hated them. Podcast, eh, I don’t know. Someone said they actually call 
it the uh the Lance AdSrong podcast cuz all he does is ad reads, like a lot of them. Uh, didn’t 
know they were hurting that bad for Cash, but uh, yeah, still good stuff. And I and I really like 
George Henappy. Just seems like an honest guy. Uh, Matt Jones, has he released his V2? Also, has Greg 
Lamont given up on holding cycling? Okay. Has Greg Lamont given up on holding cycling available? I’m 
not sure what that meant. Uh yeah, last we heard from Greg, he called out Motor Doping. Yeah, 
exactly. He did. He was one of the first guys,   too, to call out Lance way back when. Uh and 
that book I’ve been listening to. Oo, just little snippets and details. I’m like, “Oh, what 
a nasty fight that was back then.” like nasty, nasty, nasty. All those guys that were doping. Uh 
Greg did come back and all of a sudden it was like he won the tour and then a year later he couldn’t 
even keep up with the guys like the back of the field. Something changed. Uh we all know what 
that was. Colin’s rocking a solid four V2 max rate right nine. Nine Colins. We probably double mine, 
dude. Double mine. I think your average dude is in the low 40s. Tour has just started today, guys. 
Just got the official launch here. They are off. I’m gonna get try to get up to speed here. Get 
this rocket and rolling. Guys, I’m feeling pretty   good for 4:00 a.m. in the morning. Um, and like 
I said, I I rolled out of bed at about 20 to 3, the witching hour. I think there was some ghosts 
down here with me. Uh, what do we want to do here, guys? So, first big climb is the call to termite. 
We got a 70 km leadin to the sprint point. Uh points are available. Why don’t we take a look 
at that? We’re going to look at the sporting odds   again here. I think that’s what they call the 
sporting sporting stakes is what they call it. We can see what’s available on tap today. At the 
sprint point, we got uh 20 points available down to one at 15th place. The call to which is the 
uh souvenir uh what do they call it again? Gdard maybe. That’s an HC clown. 20 points available 
down to eighth place. Call to Aspen, we got five points, down to fourth, one point. Call to Perry 
Sword. Guys, again, we went by this yesterday. We rode some of this climb yesterday. I’ll show 
you the map again here right away. Uh I think I said in yesterday’s video, and I actually look 
back to see if I explained it well. I do watch   my own videos a little bit. I didn’t like my own 
video. What am I doing wrong? Uh I was watching on uh Joey’s account and uh yeah, we rode part of 
that climb yesterday. So the exact same road. So we will be going over it again today. It’s 
only a small section. Uh it’s where we come out of that small town of Ludenbiel. Quinn Simmons 
on the attack, folks. He’s already attacking.   Team Simmons is off and going, folks. I do 
want to watch this right away. Simmons off the front. I’m seeing him attack. It’s not showing 
it here, but I’ve seen the attack already go off. It’s just stretching out the Pelaton really 
hard. I guess technically he is still part   of the Pelaton. So, they haven’t split it up yet. 
Seeing the first splits happening now, guys. Team Simmons on the front. Actually, he’s got another 
Trek rider with him. I’ll call it Team Trek now. Yeah, Bora looking good. I I forget who keeps 
saying it. The Bora red pinstripes. Uh Primos Rajlick, Florian Lipowitz. That’s a pretty good 
one-two combo right there. Yeah, roads are still wet here. Heading away from POW. Uh, so guys, 
I started watching. I’ve been saying it off   and on. I found a really good version of it. 2006 
tour to France. It’s a 12-hour long video. Uh, I forget who made it, but you know, Phil’s on there. 
Paul Sherwin’s on there. The legends themselves. That’s according to Colin’s watch. So, 
he’s got a nine V2 rating. What? Uh,   no. Colin here, my V2 max is like 65, 
I believe. Dude, I think 65 would be pretty good. I could see you being there. 
Uh, like 65 is well above average. Uh, Matt Jones, sorry, no coffee yet. No coffee yet, 
dude. Get on the coffee. Yeah, at 4:00 a.m. you   need it. Actually, 3:00 a.m. when I got up. Uh, so 
apparently Lance Armstrong stole my haircut. So, you guys can make fun of my hair if you want. It’s 
okay. I’m okay with it. I’ve got hair. I’ve got   hair. Uh, okay. Robert’s saying here, “Pogy’s V2 
max is reported to be around 80.5 89.4 ms kg per minute.” So, it’s the amount. So, what’s a V2 max? 
V2 max means how much oxygen can your body uptake to use. Uh, the more you can uptake, the better 
you can perform and the less fatigued you get. So, that’s what AI is saying. Yeah. So, that 
number, okay, that’s going to cause a lot of controversy and conspiracy theories. I can tell 
that right now. Uh because there’s been other   riders that have been higher than that. Uh yeah, 
it’s kind of amazing the performance. Just leave it there. Going to park that right there, folks. 
I got 78 uh OG people in here right now. Loving hanging out with all the early the people that 
get in here early. Uh guys, I got something cool   to show you here. So, the Pelaton’s just kind of 
like wide across the road. It’s a nice big highway here. Great scenery through here, too. Uh we were 
at the uh the park. We’re in PO Park. Aquaports. Looks like it’s set up for kayaking. Yeah, it is 
set up for kayaking. I can see them. Or else this dude’s just floating down the river in uh inner 
tubes getting smashed around everywhere. Actually, it looks like they’re on those body boards. 
Uh Groupama FDJ putting a little dig in here, guys. We’ve got almost 5,000 meters of climbing 
today. Let’s have a little look at the mappy poo here. Uh starting up in the northeast here. 
So, we kind of backed out of the Pyrenees. Uh just for reference. Oh, wow. I’m so glad 
I just magically zoomed in there, guys. So, that 2006 tour to France I’m watching, 
that’s the Floyd Landis tour. That tour, uh Oscar Pereero, all that kind of good stuff. 
the stage I’m watching on there right now. Uh, actually I paused it when Joey Jojo came home last 
night. Uh, I was like, “Oh my god, flipping out.” So that stage, I forget what stage it is. They 
climbed the call to term, then they climbed the Aspen, then they climbed the Perry sword, and they 
finished just across across another climb on the Spanish side. Just rumors from the start what 
we could see. uh Woods, Skelemos, Campon Arts, and those guys said they would like to be in a 
break. Okay, so this is just a rumor I think we’re getting from uh radio chitchat from Red Bull, 
I think it was. I’ll keep a closer eye on that, guys. So, there’s already talks of breaks 
going. So, yeah, 2006, 19 years ago, guys, they did all the same climbs. So, they did this 
same route right here. They went up the turmal. You’re seeing that in the middle screen. That’s 
the HC climb. They bombed down, passed through   Lemon. I love saying that word. Uh I think it’s a 
ski station. They climbed over the Aspan just like we will today. Then they went and took this uh 
the Perisord here. I’ll zoom in here, guys. Look at the name of this town right here, Ludenville. 
This is where we started yesterday. We started in   this town yesterday at the Pyrenees Park Festival. 
That’s what it was called. went along this little lake tucked up here and right here in the dead 
center of the screen there’s a hard corner where we join onto the yellow line here. We diverged 
off it yesterday. Uh and here you can see this is perig goods. This is where that uh air strip 
is. We cross over the uh Perry sword and in the video I saw these switchbacks and I’m like oh my 
god I know exactly where those are. So, these are really hard switchbacks right over the top. The HC 
uh sorry, the K points will be available up there.   They quickly bomb down. Uh three hard switch backs 
there. Off to the races down to the valley. Uh we turn here. We head up to Super Baners. Uh back in 
2006, they they might have just popped over here somewhere. Uh cuz they said they just popped over 
the border. Uh I’m seeing a climb right here. They might have came up here somewhere cuz this is 
back in Spain. Now, here’s the France uh French Spanish border right here. So, I thought that was 
pretty cool. Uh just jump into the racer, guys. Still just one big pelon at the front. I can see 
this being pretty hot at the front. I’m wondering how hard the sprint teams can drive here because 
it is an uphill drag all the way. How much work do they want to do to get these 20 points there? 
Uh speaking of which, guys, let’s take a look at that. Let’s take a look at the rankings of the 
green jersey. Does Jonathan Milan really need to   even do this? We’re going to look at uh general 
ranking in the points. This is the GC ranking. Confirm that. Yeah, this is GC ranking for the 
points. Uh Jonathan Milan has 231 points. Tatty has 203. Uh Vanderpole 173. Bingham’s falling 
further back. There was one stage there where he got zero points and he had an opportunity to 
uh I think that was stage 11 uh you know stage went. So Inter Maray might be pushing just to 
try to get something uh otherwise they’re going to fall so far behind they’ll never get get caught 
back up. So really Jonathan Milan does not need to kill himself to get here. Uh that’s going to be a 
really hard stage uh after this stage 14. Let’s go live back live here, guys. Okay. Uh yeah, guys. Uh 
yeah. Oh yeah, it’s the calling crew here. We got the calling crew. Calling club. Colin Whittening 
from Hong Kong. Yeah, I remember that call. I just see that now. Uh Colin Coats, dude, thank you so 
much. Says smash the like button if you guys can. Uh, I can’t actually see my likes. So, I’m looking 
at a mini version of YouTube where I’m talking to you guys right now. Uh, dudes, I think I’m the 
only person out here that does this uh where I’m interacting with you guys. Let’s keep it that way. 
Uh, I think this is why this is so much fun for me   is getting to engage with everyone. The chats, uh, 
this looks like it is a UnoX rider going off the front here. They got one Unix rider just kind of 
slowly pushing out the front here. Uh, Andreas, I missed his name. Okay, so what we’ll do right 
now, let’s take a look at UNOX again today. To me,   guys, big winner of the Trade of France so far. I 
mean, I know Tatty’s in first place. I don’t think anyone expected uh Uno X to be up here. Did anyone 
think we’d be saying that UNOX would have a rider? Oops. Oh, it’s probably going to help me log 
in. Yep, we’ll log in. Go back to the teams. Go to UNOX and let’s take a look at them. So, 
Abrahamson is the one that won on stage 11. Yes, he did win on stage 11. He’s in the 90th 
position somewhere, 92nd place after stage 13. This dude here though, Tobias Johansson. Tobias 
Johansson sitting eighth at the Tour to France. And this guy is no joke either. It’s not like 
he just jumped up there on some fluky stage. He’s been maintaining it the whole way. 
He’s been, you know, outside his day one,   he’s been top 15 the entire way, working his 
way up. He’s only improving. Uh the amount of pressure and stress that’s on him to stay there is 
probably incredible. Uh so I’m really cheering for these guys. So to me, they’ve had the best 
performance of the tour. That’s just what I think. Getting back you guys. Looks like the 
Pelaton’s getting a little strung out here. So, yeah. What’s going to happen today? Is Tatty 
just going to walk away from the tour? Uh, Tatty has to stay healthy. Tatty has to be fueled, 
hydrated, be careful out there. I know someone was saying yesterday about no dirty tricks. I 
haven’t seen any dirty tricks on this tour. Um, they all stopped and waited for him when they 
probably didn’t need to. He would have got back   on anyways at some point. He would have lost just 
a few seconds. Uh more attacks going off the front here, guys. It’s going to be hot and heavy at 
the front for a little while. Like these guys   are going to bury themselves for the next hour and 
a bit just to get in a breakaway to then take on 5,000 meters of climbing. Uh it’s over 16,000 ft 
of climbing, guys. Absolute insanity. Um Don’s in the mix. Don’s uh always here with us. Great 
to see you, Don. Slowly winding this up, guys. Brandon, they need to mix things up for 
Pagacher so it’s no longer predictable and   in his favor. Exactly guys. Uh ooh, there is a 
really strong going off the tack now. And the roads look quite wet here. Total energies 
rider. I’ll get you a name on them right away. I don’t see it on the tour tracker 
here. Uh Alfalipe was on the front before. They’re not showing who this Total Energy 
rider is. He probably needs a bigger gap,   but it’s it’s forming. See if they let 
him get away. Very strung out. There’s a lot of riders again, lots of teams that 
need something this tour. Total Energies, uh Aana, there’s a lot of teams that really have 
nothing to show yet. So, for this tour, Dathlon needs to get up there. Yeah, lots of riders 
trying to get up there. Very wet roads though. Uh roundabouts could be sketchy here. It’s not 
pouring rain that’s washed the oils away off the road. It’s just kind of really damp damp patches. 
So that’s where you hit a patch of paint and you go down. Uh looks like two riders of Groupama 
on the front. Two two riders from Israel Primate Tech. This is probably like a woodsy type day. 
Uh Michael Woods from Canada is I think fourth overall in the uh KM jersey right now. The polka 
dot jersey. Uh Brandon Dhoni, you’re absolutely correct here. I’m looking at uh Clement Berth for 
Decathlon’s back at the medical car right now. Giving him a little spray. So I I think 
the fact that he’s getting sprayed,   he must have just hit the ground. Usually they 
put that icy cool spray on. It’s probably like a a cooling spray and a antibiotic, antiseptic. 
Uh yeah, he does have a cut on the back of his shorts there. I just see it’s a small patch. He 
doesn’t look hurt, but again, hitting the ground   50k an hour. Never fun. Yeah. So, if Vizma can 
get their act together, vote Vanart, Simon Yates, uh Seep Cous. Se looked really good yesterday, 
guys. Looks like Quinn Simmons is trying to bring back the solo rider. So, they got Team Simmons on 
the front with one other Trek rider pulling back uh Clement. I would be sending all those guys up 
the road. I would send Vanard up the road. I would send Simon Yates up the road. Uh let’s have a look 
at that, guys. Um we’re going to look at the teams again. We’re going to look at Vizma. Who do we 
still have here? Everyone’s still here. I think   I would send Camparts up the road. Uh what about 
Jorgensson? We should send him up the road, too. I would keep Bonut back. I would keep Seb Cous 
back, Eduardo Rafini back. Keep them back with   Yonas. Send everyone else up the road. Uh, make 
Tatty think about it. Make, like, as Brandon said, dude, good comments. Perfect word. Make it 
unpredictable for him. That’s what they need to do. Uh, otherwise, you’re letting him control 
the tour. He is beatable. I hate to break it to uh, everyone out there. He is the odds on 
favorite, but he is beatable. No one is uh Jonathan Milan is going on the attack, folks. 
The Trek Rider going up. That’s probably why the Trek riders were hanging out at the front. There 
was Quinn Simmons and one other Trek Rider. Uh now I’m seeing the green jersey on the front putting 
the wattage down, folks. Big boys come out and play. Jonathan Milan time traveling away right 
now. And actually, who’s that in the middle? Uh, sorry. It’s not a Trek rider. This Okay, having 
trouble in a darker color jersey. Going to   figure out who this is. It is not showing up here 
yet. Now it is. It’s showing up right here. So, Jonathan Milan solo right now. First in the Green 
Points jersey. Here’s the Pelaton. 167 riders. Uh, we got Bertha who we just saw. He was back at the 
Doctor’s car and Will Ber uh 30 something seconds back. Jonathan Milan has about 100 meter gap right 
now. He’s working. He’s working. He’s looking back. Team car pulled over here. Uh, okay. This 
is Gregor Moberger getting pushed on. So, this is a bit of a replay. He’s actually tag team back up 
with the uh I think the Decathlon Rider here. Um, birthday. Yep. Decathlon rider. 26 and 30. They’re 
actually ranked pretty good at the Tur of France. You know, it’s like, okay, I’m let’s just 
say I’m in 33rd place at the tour of France.   I think that’s pretty good. I think that’s 
really good. Let’s go, folks. Let’s go. Uh, okay. Near Currently Bill says, “The True to 
France club is the worst.” Okay. I’m not sure why. Magnus Court had a big spring uh sprint looked 
unstoppable at one point. I can see Magnus   Court being the kind of guy that wants to do 
something today. Actually, why don’t we take a look at them? Uh, teams he was talking about 
going is he still on UNOX or is he on EF? Uh, yeah, here he is. Magnus Court right here. You 
know X. 31. 32 years old, guys. 32 years old. Stage 14. It’s on, folks. Jonathan Milan still on   the front here. I’m going to go back 
to this mode, guys. Uh so remember that one stage where I think we started in 
Tuloo. Yeah. No, the stage we started in O here. A as they call it. Uh we came down this uh 
I think that’s a road there. We came down this road here roughly southwesterly and we tucked 
on right about here. This stretcher road we’re going to be riding on next is the same stretcher 
road we rode back on stage 12. They took off to the right to go take on the culdeal and the 
border borders. Uh we will go to the left and we actually head through the uh city of Lords 
which I think Lords is that big place where uh it’s like I don’t know it’s like a 
pilgrimage type area. There’s a huge   church there or something. miracles, whatnot, all 
that kind of good stuff. All that kind of jazz. Top 10 is a win for these guys from Dawn here. Don saying a t a challenge for dad would 
be for him to ride up uh on a unicycle.   Wouldn’t be a wouldn’t be UCI legal. Don saying 
Matteo Jorgensson isn’t a threat anymore at plus 10 minutes in the standings. So the only 
person who can threaten today is Jonas. Yeah,   exactly. That’s what I’m thinking though, Don, 
is that they send all those guys up there just to make him start thinking about it and start 
getting to me put the pressure on him so that   when Yonas wants to go, he’s got dudes up there 
maybe hanging out. Uh that’s what kind of worked in the past. Jonathan Milan probably off the 
front now. I’m going to say at least 300 meters right now. Just battling his way ahead. I guess 
he’s going on a 60 kilometer break. Here he is. We can see him right here. Very small gap. What 
are they saying it is? Uh 13-second gap. So yeah, maybe it’s 150 200 meters. Roads are a little 
bit drier here. Uh he’s probably waiting for other teams to come up. The Pelaton, it’s 
one of those crazy looking pelatons right   now. It’s like a big blob. It’s stretching 
out. It’s just looks like an amoeba just kind of rotating around. It’s there’s no one sitting 
in one position. Everyone’s constantly rotating right now. Uh and not that they’re really trying 
to help each other. I think it’s just everyone’s   trying to get to the front. Make sure they’re in 
good position here. Uh love in the chat, guys. Yeah, even making the top 100 of this tour means I 
am better than 70 of the best riders in the world.   Yeah, winning. Yeah. So, how does Yonas take time 
back from TA? Today, today. See? See what See what happens when I say it the right way. Today. 
So, I know some people call him Tadai. I just   say Tatty. If I met Tatty in real life, I’d say, 
“Yo, bro. How’s it going, Tatty?” He’s 26. Yeah, you’re Tatty to me. That’s it. You are You are 
the greatest cyclist in the world, but you’re 26, dude. Uh, yeah, I I’m allowed to call you Tatty. 
Uh, I agree. Maybe since Simon Yates and Wout out front somehow these two can move ahead without 
any Yeah, exactly. They’re just going to get up the road. Uh, you know, worst, okay, worst, not 
worst case scenario, but let’s say Yonas can’t bring any time back. Visma is still strong enough 
and in their positioning right now and the fact that UAE is probably not going to chase them. Uh 
there could be stage wins here, which would be, you know, pretty good to get a stage win for 
Vizma right now. I think they need it. Uh okay,   guys, let’s talk about Remco. Uh they showed 
him quickly at the beginning of the screen. What happened to him yesterday? Uh wrong bike 
choice, right helmet choice versus Yonas. Uh but he got passed in the last 100 meters by 
Yonas. And I did check they were 2 minutes uh gaps between those top riders. So Yonas 
caught up with his two-minute man. You know what did Taddyy make back? I think Tatty pulled 
back 124 on Yonas is what it would be. He had a 36 second lead at the finish at the Altaport guys. 
That Altaport there at Paraguds has been renamed uh quite a while ago. I think it’s called 
the Paraguds or it’s called the Altaport   007. So in 1997 they filmed a movie 
there. Uh maybe you’ve heard of it. Tomorrow Never Dies 007 movie and there was 
a big huge battle up top and it’s where 007 uh looks like we got a couple more riders. Two, 
three, four riders trying to get off the front   here. Maybe they’re trying to bridge up to Milan 
right now. Let me have a look at this. Jonathan Milan still solo 22 second gap. Now there’s riders 
trying to come across to give him some support. firefighters up on like what looks like about 
a 100 foot long ladder here. Uh that looks   horrifying to me. Wonder if Colin has to climb 
ladders. Colin is a firefighter. Colin Coats. Yeah, they need to send guys up the road early. 
Get guys up the road early. And look at this folks. Victor Campen Arts and another It’s Not 
Vout sitting on the front right now. Uh with the Pelaton kind of falling apart behind them. Three 
four riders. Kofus rider going up. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Brian Kakard yesterday, 
guys. Uh, just a little flashback again, too. If you think there’s dominant sprinters now, take a 
look at the 2006 tour to France. Robbie Mchuan in   his heyday. He was amazing for uh he rode for a 
team. I think it was called Dvito Man Lotto. Uh, and he would just squeak out of nowhere. Uh, they 
showed a state a sprint yesterday. I think it was his fourth stage win of that year. Uh he was so 
blocked in. So blocked in. Paul and Phil are like, “Oh, Robbie’s completely out of it.” All of 
a sudden, you see this green little missile.   Uh and I think they might have called him the 
missile before Cavendish showed up. He just flew across the road. He’d probably get in trouble for 
that now. Uh and I think he got second place to uh maybe it was Ferrer, I think it was, cuz 
he actually slapped him on the back as they went across the finish line. Uh like you know 
like hey dude you got me. Uh but he flew out of nowhere like swerved 40 feet over and almost 
came around for second. He did get second place. Uh but almost took the win. Donson here. Yeah 
007. So 007 was filmed. There was a huge uh war scene up there. Uh I read yesterday that there 
was like 260 locals that were involved in it. Uh it’s you know 15 to 20% downhill. So, you’re 
using the gravity uh and the downhill section to take off. There’s a ramp at the bottom to kick 
your uh plane upwards, and that’s where James   Bond escaped. And tomorrow never dies. Then there 
was a big dog fight after that in the air. So, uh Colin saying, “Yes, he does climb ladders, 
but our current ladder only extends to 7.” Dude,   77 feet sounds pretty high when you’re climbing 
up it. I imagine it’s pretty shaky. Uh JC Alula getting up to the front now. But 
Jonathan Milan still riding solo here, guys. Who’s going to join him for the 
festivities? Teams are trying now. So, this is what I expected. I thought there would be 
a hard push by the sprint teams and smaller budget teams. Seeing two group guys on the front right 
now. Uh, it could be a day of a great escape. If Vizma doesn’t attack and today just gets to 
ride along all day, just babysit everything. Uh, it could be a day for the smaller teams to go 
on massive breakaways. I love it. Pull back, like take 20 minutes back in a stage. Wouldn’t 
that be fantastic? Love those breaks. Uh, it’s very close together here, guys, though. I think 
it might have just came back together there. Yeah, it’s saying right now it’s all come back together. 
Uh yeah, so that Jacob Ryder was Luke Plap here. Saying that on the feed here. Uh Madawas, 
that’s a group rider and Luvel follow his move. Um let’s just see here if we can get 
this as far up as we can. Ah, looks like uh Trek is trying to form up on the front 
again. Uh Milan is back in the mix though, right here. So guys, this is what 
we’ve got to come today. Okay. Um Okay. So, yeah, Colin only goes up 77 ft. 
Robbie Mchuan was a slingshot. Yeah, dude. He   was amazing. Like, we forget about all these great 
sprinters. Uh and when I say we, probably just me, that was like the end of the Eric Zabel era. So, 
Zel was really big and he did go quite a while. He was like very early 2000s. I think Robbie 
showed up in 2006. Uh Robbie started out as I think as a BMX rider. I read his book quite 
a while back now. Always liked him. I love his   commentary. I love Aussies. They just say it how 
it is. Oh, did I hurt your feelings a bit? Well, I’m just I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, but 
whatever. Uh they just say how it is. That’s it. If you don’t like it, whatever. Get move on. Uh I 
think that’s gotten him in trouble a few times. I know he got in trouble one year at the tour for 
some of his commentary, but whatever. Didn’t   hurt my feelings. Uh, what I’m seeing here, 
we got Group Palmer riders on the front. Uh, Total Energy Riders. Uh, reading the chat 
here, guys. Love the chat. Keep banging it out,   folks. Keep hitting the like button if you 
can, please. And if you guys know anyone you think would like this, share this, please. 
If you got like Strava buddies, Zift buddies,   Ruby buddies, uh kind of need all the support 
I can get, guys, cuz I’m going to push hard on this. Joey Jojo is behind me like you’ve never 
seen. Uh her office shuts at 3:00 on a Friday. She stayed late at work last night. Um and she was 
working on a thumbnail for today and she sent me uh profiles which I already knew. Uh I said, 
“Thank you.” and I said, “I know this profile. I’ve got it memorized. It’s Lavalta coming up in 
August here.” I think they start August 23rd. So, she’s like, “Get ready. It’s coming.” So, it’s 
nice to have that support behind me to know I   can do this. Uh, and and then just kind words from 
you guys just keeps me so pumped and motivated. Oo, Jesus. The tip of the ladder can hold 1,000 
lbs max. Yeah. So, this is a whole another level of ladders, folks. Uh, good stuff, Colin. 
I climb a 24 hours and it gets shaky. Yeah, I know. Just a while ago, guys, I applied for 
this really dumb job. I shouldn’t say that, but uh it was basically Yeah, I’ll backtrack that. 
Not a really dumb job. I wanted the job. I wanted something to do. This would have been Oh, wow. 
This is last year. And so, I applied for it. They called me in. I had to climb up a 32 foot ladder. 
It was like a window cleaning job in Calgary. Uh, never called me back, but maybe climb a 
32 foot ladder. I didn’t work there. I’m like, what happens if I fall off this ladder? Am I 
covered? I would probably just laying there with   a broken back. Uh, they ended up calling me two 
weeks later. Hey, Colin, do you want to come work for us? I’m like, sorry, dudes. I’m busy. Bye. Uh, 
yeah. So, Robbie Mcun was a slingshot for sure. Yeah, once you get up on certain ladders, 
yeah, the Colin said they have a 36ft ladder.   They would he wouldn’t touch. Yeah, it’s not the 
same as a fireman’s ladder. Uh it’s those things are probably like super rigid. Quinn Simmons 
on the front, guys. We got another Trek rider here. Uh can’t see who that is yet. If soon 
as I can find out, I’ll let you know. Yeah, here we go, folks. I am seeing it here. Lel 
Trek wants Skeleos at the front. Lead up.   Uh I think Skeleos is still 18th overall at the 
moment. Why don’t we take a look at that and see where Skeleos is? He should be 18th. Actually, 
I don’t know actually. He might have lost big time yesterday. Uh because I don’t remember his 
TT. He was 18th at the start of yesterday. Here, here’s a better way to do it for me. Do this, 
Colin. Do this. Just go to the team. We find Skeleos. He’s right down here. So, after 
yesterday, let’s see how bad he did. Okay, he’s 19th. So, he only lost one position 
yesterday. That’s pretty good. Uh,   but it is saying that they want to get scalos 
on the front. Makes a lot of sense to me. Okay, we want that one there. I 
got way too much stuff open, guys. Over on Climefinder here, guys, you can 
see where we’re going. This is uh actually I love this website, guys. I love it. Definitely 
check this website out. I’m actually showing it. I don’t even Yes, I am showing it. Uh, great 
website. I really like the maps. To me, this is the best one I’ve seen so far for maps, especially 
when you zoom in. All we’re looking at here, this   is the start of Call of T. You can see the little 
blue icon in the middle of the screen that’s kind of flashing. We’ll be coming down from the north. 
Uh, here it is, guys. This is what’s funny about this. We pass by the Otto. So, this road here in 
the middle of the screen, this yellowish road, goes through this little valley system here. You 
can see the town of uh Busousen’s here. Uh this one over here, La Beagnas. This climb here, 
this is the Otto. We’ve already climbed this uh two days ago. So, we kind of backtracked in the 
Pyrenees and we’re coming by this area again. It’s like anywhere you go here, there’s climbs. Uh and 
so, here’s another two. Here’s a category 2 climb. Dead ends. Here’s another one. Uh category 2 
climb. I’ll show you something here, too. We came down this road here. Uh it’s lit up now called 
as Borderas from wherever. We came down this road after we climbed over the top. So this is the back 
side of it into this town, skipped through the   town and then we started the Otto. Uh but today we 
are come working our way down through this valley system. Here’s Lords I talked about earlier. I’ll 
put it in the middle of the screen here. I’m going   to close all this. Here’s Lords right here. an 
amazing detail on this mapping package. I love it. The more details, the better. I love the contours. 
I live for contours, guys. Uh the more you zoom in, the more details you get. Definitely one 
that’s this is worth subscribing to, guys. 100%. Uh and we are coming from Lords. We are heading 
from the west here on this road. Uh it would be the Do they give us a road number? Let’s just call 
the uh route to Pao. So, it’s the road to Pao. And you can see PA’s right up here. So, we’re 
working our way down this direction and we   will be climbing up the tormlay here. Let’s 
get back to it, guys. Get back to it. Uh, what am I seeing going on here? More brakes. 
More brakes is what we got going on here, folks. More brakes. Fred Wright at the front 
right now. Uh, I do see him on screen, too. Couple hundred meters ahead. He’s looking back a 
lot. Yeah, this isn’t going anywhere. Unless they totally hit the shoots. He’s looking back. He’s 
waiting for support. Okay, now he’s looking like, okay, maybe I’ll give it a go. See what happens. 
He’s trying to get arrow here. Uh, okay. Just going to back up, guys. Don saying, “If I was a student, they would call 
me the snot rocket.” Yeah, I love that, dude.   calling quotes. Mine would be delayed fuse. Mine 
would be dud. That’s what mine would be. You think I’m gonna explode and then just nothing happens. 
Um, okay. Reuben’s here. Reuben, OG supporter of the channel. Reuben, can’t say thank you enough 
for all your help. Uh, I’m seeing a JCO rider, Inter Mare going off, EF going off the front. 
Guys, they’re not letting anything get away. One guy moves, 30 guys react. I bet you every team is 
saying do not let anyone go. All these teams EF, JCO, Intermar, Groupama, Astana, Bahrain, uh, 
Total, they all need wins. Uh, EF’s got them, but they want more. This is the kind of day that 
someone like Ben Healey could sneak away. Uh, if if the Vizma UAE just becomes a stalemate 
back here, they might just let him go. Uh, can’t dude. Exactly. Robert here. I’m glad 
you brought his name up. Can’t talk legendary sprinters without Chipolino. Big Mario. Uh, I have 
a running joke on my other stuff I do. Uh, I talk about going full chipo. So, whatever you’re doing 
in life, let’s say you’re climbing that ladder   really hard at work, you’re going full chipo. Uh, 
you know, you’re chopping up some lumber outside, you’re going full chipo, bro. So, you can drop 
that today in a sentence. I’d love it. Let me know how you use it. Uh Joey’s got another dinner 
tonight. We might be going full chip out tonight. Um can’t talk. Yeah, what a diva. Totally, 
dude. When he got carried in at the Jirro, uh wearing the the halo, the wreath of leaves, 
whatever it is, like the Roman emperor in a toga. Uh and he and they carried him in. That’s what 
made the tour. That’s what made the tour. He was a really good sprinter, too. Um, I think guys, 
take a look at how many stage wins he has at the Jirro. He’s got a lot of stage wins. Had a lot 
at this at the tour as well. Uh, Don saying here, Joey Jojo’s birthday wish is for this channel to 
reach 50K subs by Christmas. Dude, that would be   great. Dude, we’re on the way to 30 right now. Uh, 
on the way to 30. And again, please subscribe if you can. I love the likes, guys. I love the 
comments. But for me, I feel the channel’s doing good when there’s people here in the channel 
watching live and interacting because I think it’s just something different. Uh I’m not just sitting 
here telling you, “Hey, this is what’s going down and you have no say in the matter.” Uh like I 
said, when I first started watching cycling,   I’d see things going. I’m like, “Why aren’t they 
talking about that?” Um they just didn’t. Guys, I want to try to show you something else here, 
too, just for a little bit of fun. Okay. Uh,   what I’m going to do, let’s see how I can do this. 
I’m trying to figure out how to do this without destroying everything here. Uh, what I’m going to 
do, I’m going to take this one here. So, if I turn that on. Okay, you guys can’t see that yet. I’m 
going to shrink this down. We’re going to put this over here. We got to keep me on camera, of course. 
Uh, actually, you know what? We’re going to put it right up here, guys. I’m just working in OBS right 
now, trying to get this ready for you. I want to   show you something here. And again, the main man 
himself, Steven Cycles, helped me do this. Uh, what I need to do now, if I move this up, guys. 
Okay, it’s actually playing right now. I don’t   want to play right now. So, quite a while ago, uh, 
Steven Cycles, OG supporter of channel 2, helps me out a lot. Uh, sometimes just I don’t know, 
guys, giving me ideas, tell me what I should do, uh, how I can do things better. Uh, guys, I love 
constructive criticism. Uh, if you want to call me garbage tube, that’s okay. Doesn’t hurt my 
feelings. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt me. Um, but yeah, lots 
of good ideas. Ruben gives me lots of ideas. You should do this. Try this out. Uh, don’t give 
up. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Dudes, those little messages I get when I’m sitting 
around by myself at 8 8:30 at night, tired, uh, wondering what I’m doing with myself. Uh, I’ve 
still got friends who work downtown. I’m like, why aren’t I working downtown? What happened? 
I’d rather do this any day of the week than work downtown. U, the baring rider, Fred Wright, 
looks like he’s going to be caught here right now. Looks like a confidence rider pulling back, guys. 
Yeah, visibility is quite low here. Quite low, man. It looks lush and beautiful here. Lush and 
beautiful, guys. Okay, guys. It’s video time. Steven Cycles made this for me. Uh, I’m showing 
you a video. I’ve got the volume turned down. This is actually a YouTube video I’ve made. 
Stephen, when did we make this? We probably   made this last November. Uh, so Stephen found 
out that I was I was talking about video games. I was talking about Flight Simulator. The new one 
came out. It was kind of clunky. Uh, Stephen goes, “Oh, you like Flight Sims? Here, I’m going to do 
one.” And so Stephen put together a flight over   the call to turbo, guys. So let’s check that 
out. We’re going to move this up right now. Uh and we’re going to get this going on, guys. So 
you can see everything here. We still got the   tour in the background. You know what I’m going 
to do? I’m going to make this even bigger right now because this is awesome to me. Uh hey, let’s 
just do that for now. We’ll turn it off, guys. Let’s rock. So this is Stephen in the Cabri G2 uh 
two-seater helicopter here, guys. Just let this play through. Uh, it’s just a short video. I want 
to just give you some perspective. Uh, and again, I love looking at Max Steven taking off here. Kind 
of a wild takeoff there, Stephen. Uh, this is the start of the terminal, guys. So, we’re going 
to be heading to the right of the screen here.   There we go. It’s this long valley road here. 
Stephen just getting his bearings here, figuring out where he is. So, this is Microsoft Flight 
Simulator from 2020, guys. And in the Milan’s back on the front now. I see uh group a lot of uh 
Israel premier techch guys and Alpison guy there. Uh just keeping you posted what’s going on there 
quickly. But this is the climb up to the termite. So this climb was first ridden in 1910 at the tour 
to France. Henry Degrange said we need to make the tour tougher. Remember way back when they wanted 
this to be so that people couldn’t finish it. Uh yeah guys let’s do a 450 kmter stage today. Uh oh 
you’re going to finish at two in the morning. You   got to start again the next day. Let’s go. Uh the 
hardest men alive back then riding in like wool clothing. Uh leather like they had nothing good. 
Uh drinking wine. So the chor is like a long climb up a huge valley system. There’s some really cool 
things to look at here too on the way. Uh so Henry Degranch we need to make a stuffer. There’s a 
guy named I think his name is Stina Steinese   uh was sent out to scout uh scout the area out 
find me something really hard to climb. At this point they’d only been climbing kind of like big 
hills, small mountains and I think it’s in the   voes that are on the border of like France and 
Germany there uh the Grand Balon very uh famous one but this is the first high alpine pass. So you 
just work your way through valley. The road itself is at the bottom of the valley system here. So 
I love doing this because it gives you some real perspective as to what they’re climbing through. 
Uh that you may not get out of TV. Stephen, we got to do a lot more of these, bro. We got to do 
a lot more of these. And you know what? That’s my   fault. Uh because I know Steven’s done some more 
for me. Uh we have the Galibia ready to go. It’s sitting on my computer. Uh I just haven’t done it 
yet. Guys, what I want you to notice here, too, uh, when we get up further up here, I’m gonna I’m 
gonna pause the video there for a second. If you take a look up on the hill, there’s kind of like 
a big parking area down below here. There’s a road up high there. That is actually called Steph 
Craft on the side of the road right now. Uh, he looks hurt, actually. This doesn’t look like a 
mechanical dude. Looks like he’s in a lot of pain. I think he might be pulling out of the tour 
right now. Action on the front, folks. Let’s   get through this here. Uh I might You know what 
I’m gonna do, guys? I’m just gonna stop this for a second and take a look what’s going on here. I 
think there’s some action on the front right now. So, it’s saying it’s all back together, but the 
Pelaton is driving absolutely hard. Uh flying   along here at 63k an hour right now. Arca riders 
on the front. Ah, this is good to see. It looks like two maybe three Arca B&B hotel riders in the 
front. Maybe a UNO X rider, Bob and Victorious, EF rider. I don’t see any Vizma riders or UAE riders. 
UAE is going to be reacting to what Vizma does today. Mororrow Schmidt for JCO Alula. Uh like 
barely hanging on for dear life back here. There’s a gap opening. He might be the last rider in line 
here. 10 m gap and he is just desperately holding on. That’s insane. Uh, back to the chat, you guys. 
Uh, yeah, guys. I’m just going to keep growing the channel. I’m going to keep growing. We’re 
doing this. You guys are helping me do this. Uh,   hopefully people want to watch the Turf France uh 
uh fec. I’m watching it. Uh, was studying all the riders last night. They’re just starting to show 
the lineup of the riders. Uh, lots of names, you know, some you don’t. Uh, but you’ll get to know 
them by watching it. Uh there’s the San Sebastian Classic coming up on August 2nd. I’m going to 
try to do that. That’s a world tour event. Uh   there’s a bunch of races in August coming up. Tour 
Denmark, Tour Poland, the Deutsch Tour, Arctic Trail Race. Uh all world tour events. Uh some 
of them bringing continental level teams, too. And then we’ve got the Valta at the end of August. 
We’ve got the World’s Race. We’ve got the World’s Time Trail that’s coming up in September, too. Uh 
a little bit of a break probably. And then uh tour down under in January, guys. It just starts all 
over again. I love it. Uh okay, Matt saying, “What else do I need help with?” Dude, I probably need a 
lot of help. I probably They’re showing a gigantic church here. I wonder if this is the Lord’s thing, 
guys. I don’t know much about it. I know it’s I   think it’s a big Christian place. Uh kind of 
like a pilgrimage area they go to for miracles and blessings and whatnots. Whatever you’re into, 
man. Whatever you’re in, uh no judgment for me. Okay, I got a Pop-Tart there. It’s looking really 
good to me. I don’t know if I can eat it right   now. Uh, Colin’s here. I hope everyone has a great 
day getting off the bike and getting ready for work. Colin, go do your thing. Colin’s off for 
another 48 hour shift. Colin is a firefighter, dude. Yeah, tough job, I think. Very tough job 
at times. Uh, respect. Steven Cycle saying, “Clime finder looks great, dude. It looks really 
good. Looks really good to me. It’s got the best   maps out there. The best maps out there. Uh, okay. 
So, the Belgian Ladies Tour 10K. Kristen Faulner. Okay. Kristen Faulner is US Champs jersey. She’s 
racing at the uh Tour to France Women uh at the end of this month. Got 165 people in now, folks. 
Just jump on in the chat. Let me know where you’re from. Uh, are you a Tour to France fan? Are you 
a cycling fan? Do you ride bikes? Guys, I love knowing all about this stuff. Uh, someone said, 
“Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if you did like a ride   with a bunch of people like say over on Zift?” I’m 
like, “Dude, I used to do that all the time.” Uh, on Ruby though. Um, they were pretty popular 
rides, too. I mean, people liked when I did them. Yeah. So, this must Yeah. This is This is 
the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Yeah.   That is Lords right there. That’s that place 
is world famous right there. I think a lot of people go here to go to this church. What’s the 
basilica? The basilica is I guess is how you would say it. There’s a big like golden type statue 
out front. I don’t even know what it is. Uh I bet you there’s like at a certain time of year I 
think this place is jam-packed with people. Oh,   it’s like a gold thing on top of like a dome. 
Wow. It looks really cool actually. you know, uh I really like old buildings. Would I need to go 
there for the whole religious aspects of it? No. But I’d love to see the buildings. I appreciate 
that. Uh Sprint Point looks like I think they’re saying it’s 31.6 km away, guys. We’ve already 
climbed 370 m. It’s only 20° C out there today. Temperatures came way down. Uh yesterday it 
was 36° C when they started that time travel. Groupama looks on the front right now driving. Oh 
yeah. Okay, guys. Uh, it is Steph Cass. He’s been caught by the broom wagon. I It’s been a long 
time since I some seen someone Oh, no. They let the broom wagon by. I think he’s going to 
get into his team car. They never want to get   in the broom wagon. And if we look on screen here. 
Okay, so we got Mororrow Schmidt out the back. So, he was the rider I was saying who was just barely 
hanging on. Oh, wow. Lhatau Fort Des Lords. That place looks absolutely incredible. Again, every 
little bump around here has like a church on it or a castle. Wow, dude. Incredible. I think our 
history is kind of cool here. Like the Wild West history. Um, it was funny just a few days ago I 
made a video called Lost in Alberta with Colin. I was bored one day and there was a couple of 
cool buildings near me. Uh, and little plaques and stuff I’ve seen out in the country on bike 
rides. Um, let’s go on this one here, guys. So, you can see here we came through Lords now. That’s 
why I’m telling you all about that Lord stuff. Uh,   Ryder through back here. Moro Mororrow Schmidt’s 
quite a ways off the back. He was just barely hanging on before I was talking about him. Uh, 
for Jacula, he’s in that red jersey. The Swiss   jersey champion. Swiss champions jersey. Uh he 
was he couldn’t keep up. A gap was forming. So something’s up with him. I think Steph Crass 
has just withdrawn. Let’s see if the what their race feed’s saying here. Uh okay. So this is 
earlier today. They haven’t mentioned it yet. So Pelaton’s all still together at this point. 
Nope. There is a break off the front. There’s   about 10 12 writers out the front. I’m trying 
to see if what they’re saying here is what I’m seeing. I can see Ben Healey there. Grant 
Thomas, Valentine Medas for Groupama. That guy’s been super active. Yonas Abrahamson, that 
guy, he won stage 11. Eon is Agera. So, they’ve accelerated as we’ve gone through Lords. They have 
not mentioned Steph Craft Craft withdraw. Oh, here he is. Steph Cass here withdraws from the race. 
So, that would have been just five minutes ago. I saw him stop on the side of the road. 
Uh the Belgian climber is in tears and you   could see it. I’m like, “Yeah, this is not 
a mechanical.” So, he’s out at the moment, guys. Starting to get busy in here. Um about 170 
riders, viewers in and out. I never know if that number is uh totally right, and that’s okay. Uh 
48 hours long. I put in 12-hour shifts like today, and these days can be long for me. Yeah, 
I think with the firefighter shift,   it’s kind of like it is a long shift. you’re away 
from your family. I think some of it’s it’d be cool for Colin to tell us about it. Some of it’s 
just living, you know, like they got to sleep. So, sometimes they might sleep and it might be a night 
where you get no sleep and you have to go out and   see some of the worst stuff that’s imaginable. 
Or it might be 8 hours of perfectly blissful sleep. They just don’t know what they’re going to 
get. That was Lords. It had it labeled on French feed. Uh seems to be a little ahead of you today. 
Okay. Yeah, I’m through Lords now too as well. I am on the live feed right now. Uh, and it looks 
like we might have a Sudal rider on the front. Sudal pushing the front. Also going hard now. The 
Pelaton is absolutely strung out behind them. I’ll be able to tell you where we’re at. 140, guys. 
I’m about 600 meters behind right now between what I see here and what I’m seeing on uh my uh 
video feed over here. So, just a smidge behind. Uh, yeah, dude. I have no control over the YouTube 
ads. Sorry. Uh, name is Dude, I love your name. Name is currently unavailable with all these 
YouTube ads. I hope you’re getting some coins,   dude. Yeah, I get a smidge out of it. Um, 
it’s it’s way better than it used to be. And I don’t want to sound ungrateful or anything, 
guys, because I’m not. I love everyone here.   uh you guys watching these videos uh you know 
just power through the ads if you can. It does fund this all for me. Um so I’m basically now 
making a minimum wage job. So that’s where I’m at. Uh but I love it. I I’ve told people 
the whole time, dude, guys, to be honest, I used to have a high power job. I used 
to work in oil and gas downtown. I would   tell people where to drill wells. I would have 
like drilling budgets of 105 million per year. Uh, the oil industry’s changed, the world changed, 
I got old. Uh, don’t kid yourself. Agism is a thing 100%. Or maybe it might actually be agism 
could also be called experiencism. So, whenever I see jobs now, and this is calling side rant here, 
folks, uh, I do want to get back to the call uh,   the term flights video because we’re heading 
there. When you get a ton of experience and there’s a job that pops up and the person that’s 
hiring has half your experience, they won’t hire   you. They don’t want to hire people that might 
know more than them. Archa being busy again here too. Archa and Inos Sudal riders are I think it’s 
the same riders going over and over again trying to establish something out front trying to get 
away before the tormale starts. Um yeah, dude. So, please just power sip your coffee when those ads 
come on. Guys, those ads the only way I really get anything out of this. Uh, and when I say get 
something else, helps pay for my internet. Uh, I do have a lot of equipment here I’ve had to 
acquire over the last two and a half years. The   cameras, uh, the microphones, the lights, multiple 
screens. Uh, yeah. So, the ads are just YouTube. Ah, that’s right. Swoosh Kid, we do. Uh, 
we also have the tour de laibi abatibi. Uh, that’s over in Quebec, guys. I did see that pop 
up. Hard kind of hard to follow when I’m doing this because this seems to be fulltime right now. 
Flying along here, guys. Absolutely flying. Guys, why don’t we take a look back? I’m just watching 
that break. Still trying to form. I do want to   show you this again because I love it. Hopefully, 
uh, you like it, too. Oh, it starts us over every time. So, we’re just going to zip ahead here 
a little bit. Uh, but check it out. Yeah,   this is where we were before. So, this is all the 
flight sim video here. There’s a little road up high here in dead center. That’s the Vois St. 
Lauron. Uh, sorry, the Vo la. Uh, it’s the old route up the Tormale. Before they built the new 
road down below, uh, you can turn off and, uh, cars aren’t allowed there now. So, I’ve ridden 
this route on Ruby with Steven Cycle. So, our idea was do flight sim videos. Here’s the 
first first stretches of uh kind of real hair pins on the tormallay here. There’s a big parking 
area here. I think we’ve just came out of Bere’s there. Stephen kind of does a low flyby here. 
I think he thinks he’s that dude from Magnum PI in that little bell helicopter. That little 
tiny one. What was his name? I don’t know. His name was TJ BJ. I don’t even remember now. 
He used to hang always hang out with Magnum. Guys, still trying to get off the front here, 
guys. Still trying to escape. Uh we’ve been riding for it looks like here about 48 km, 47 
km. Uh Mark Solair on the back. Going back to the team car. Getting a nice sticky bottle 
here, dude. Nice sticky bottle. Probably got about a 15k an hour speed boost there. 
Right behind the tour director’s car, too. uh looking down on the roads, you can actually 
see here Steven’s looking down the the names are painted and you can actually still see the vo 
uh sorry I keep saying St. Lauren Lauron Fol, two-time winner of the tour to France, French 
champion on the right hand side, dead center of the screen. That’s the call to up there. So, this 
gives you some perspective. It’s just a big giant wide open valley. They crossed this in 1910. The 
dude that went up here to discover it went missing at night. A car took him off. They got stuck in 
the snow. Take a look here on the right hand side   of the screen. Right underneath my camera, there’s 
a little road that connects on. That’s the old raw fenign route. That’s the way it used to come and 
connect onto that road. They built a new road. Still climbing, folks. He took a car out. They 
got stuck in the snow. He hiked on by himself. He uh I think he met a goat herder up there. Some 
young kids were hurting goats way up high. Uh paid them some money. They walked on for a bit with 
him. They turned back. Uh and they said to him, apparently, it was either them or the car driver 
said, “When the snows come, the wolves come out.   the wolves come over from Spain. Uh, this dude 
went on by himself. Uh, fell into a creek at high altitude. Uh, he was found the next day in the 
morning at about 3:00 in the morning with massive hyperothermia, hypothermia. Uh, basically freezing 
to death at 3:00 in the morning. They took him across to the other side. I think they took him 
over to Lamongi. Uh some huge switchbacks here up the termite. You’re going to see them go all 
up that today, guys. Uh so just kind of remember these broad sweeping uh switchbacks. And basically 
they’re just above the helicopter in the middle of screen. That is actually the top of the uh call 
to term right there. Heading over the other side, that’s the eastern ascent that takes you down 
into LGI. uh western side more scenic up above us there you can see some roads going up there’s 
an observatory up there the peak demiggore I think   is what it’s called uh yeah I was all into this 
stuff learning about it at one time so yeah if you got a coal there’s two ways up it sometimes 
there’s three ways up it uh they have climbs   everywhere here so uh that’s something me and 
Stephen did Stephen we got to do more of those dude I love those I really enjoy them they’re 
just a lot of they’re a lot of work for both of So, turn that off, guys. Let’s get back to 
the tour here. Let’s see what’s going on, guys. If you want to see that whole video, just 
jump into uh my channel somewhere and have a peek. I think there might be a section called 
flights and videos. Uh off the front, Campon Arts and Armorel, Bruno Armal has been one of the 
most aggressive guys at this tour. Jumping back, Moral Schmidt is way out the back. What’s going on 
with this dude back here? What is this gap? Well, it is only saying he’s 10 seconds. Sure looks 
further than 10 seconds on the map, doesn’t it? Uh, is that really 10 seconds? Yeah, maybe it 
is. Boom wag is not that far behind either. So, we got our front group, two riders, 4 seconds back 
to the Pelaton. See, they’re not letting it get   away. 11 seconds back tomorrow. Schmidt, who maybe 
he’s just, you know, not feeling that great today. Didn’t sleep well. These are the kind of things 
you got to watch out for as you know perhaps you are destined to be the tour to France winner. Uh 
one bad sleep, one bad meal, bit of stress. You can’t be perfect every day. Uh Tatty’s looking 
like he can be camping arts sitting on the front here in this breakaway. Uh he’s got his arrow 
helmet on today. No need for ventilation from   Victor. My man Victor Campards. one of those. Uh 
I forget who says it every day. Ah Zoe Baxstead. Yeah, her dad was such a champion too. Yeah, 
the Perry Rubé winner Magnus. So it looks like uh Zoe Baxstead won winning the blow stage. Blouse 
any Belgians here? Let me know how you say that. Uh Ian, hey Ian, good to see you, dude. So me 
and Ian are finally hooked up on Zift. If any   of you guys ride virtually inside, uh whether it 
be Zift or by Terra or uh Ruby, whatever, just send me an invite. Uh I love it. Again, too, yeah, 
Jo join me on Facebook, send me messages there. Uh I’ll always communicate with people if if I don’t 
see them. The probably the worst part for me is I   think Instagram I’m really bad at. That’s the one 
place I don’t look for messages and people send me them there. Yeah. Yeah. So, Ian’s hoping we get a 
different winner today. I’d like to see that, too. Uh, name is currently unavailable. If you like 
games, have you tried? Yeah, dude. I do. I have uh   I have Pro Cycling Manager and Xbox has a really 
good version. It’s kind of like a tuned down Pro Cycling Manager. It’s more like just graband 
go. Uh, but really good graphics. I don’t have the newest one. I actually won Pro Cycling Manager 
from from in from uh Israel Premier Techch. It was basically leave us a comment. What do you think? 
Blah blah blah and I want a copy of it. Haven’t   really played a lot of it. Okay, check this dude 
out here. The Phipe Loman. What do you think about Tatty’s 7.55 watts per kilo for 23 minutes in the 
TT compared to people said Vin Go was doped two years ago with his 7.5 for 13. Do you think he’s 
doped, dude? I don’t know what he is. Uh I did just see an article. I think it was actually 
I don’t know where it was talking about how um and it was about Tatty. I didn’t read it but he 
might be so far outside the norms of like normal what we would expect for even the elite level of 
cyclist that maybe his V2 max is just so high. Like what if Tatty’s V2 max and I’m just going 
to be But yeah, good question, dude. We we don’t know. We don’t know what anyone’s doing. We don’t 
know what the rest of the Pelaton’s doing. Uh, could his great performances just be the fact that 
his V2 max is I don’t know. Let’s just be crazy. What if his V2 max right side of that roundabout 
was really the wrong way to go? Yeah, that one was terrible. Uh, what if his V2 max is like 120? 
So, he’s naturally genetically gifted. And I think I said that, guys, if you’re sitting at home, 
and don’t let this discourage you from cycling. Um, you can’t get your V2 max to 90 by just riding 
yourself to oblivion. You can if your base V2 max is like 75 80, you could probably do that. But 
if you’re a normal human being like me and your V2 max is 40, you’re not getting to 90. No matter 
how much training you do, it’s not possible. They say it’s not physically possible. It’s kind of 
it’s in your genetics. So that’s why they’re always testing people when they’re so young and 
going, “Holy, look at this guy’s V2 max. Uh, it’s huge.” And he’s not even training yet. 
Jonathan Milan on the attack again, guys. Yeah, dude. No, I understand. Uh, fully 
blown. Yeah, it’s hard to talk about it. Uh,   just to be clear, I’m not saying he is. I just 
want to know what you think, dude. I I’ll give him the Okay. St. Martin Dikeke getting a bike 
change. Full bike change here for Intermar. with his performance against the other guys, it 
looks suspect. Uh, could there be, like I said, and I thought about this long and hard. Let’s 
just say they find out that Tatty’s and and   this is ridiculous. Okay, let’s just say they find 
out Tatty’s V2 Max is 150. Do you think it’s fair for him to compete with the other cyclists? Uh, 
this it’s really not playing on a level playing field. I’m just gonna throw that out there. Just 
throwing that out there. Uh but you can probably   say that about a lot of sports. You know, when 
does it stop being fair anymore? Uh they’re at such an advantage because I know other athletes 
have used that as a reason to dope. It’s like, well, that guy’s so much better in the first 
place. I have to dope just to try to play on   a that’s a common argument that people are 
using now. Well, I had to because it’s the only way it can be a fair level because 
they’re so much better to start with.   So, I kind of think right now Tatty’s just 
a genetic freak. I think his V2 max might be higher than what people are guessing. I don’t know 
if he’s ever been tested either. A lot of pros in the past will say this not Trek rider down. Looks 
like he crashed on some road furniture. We have a Trek rider down. Just going to see what they’re 
saying here. Uh, no mention of it yet, guys. Guys, I like when I catch things before the uh the pros 
do. But there is a rider down. Uh looks like we got three riders on the front right now. Three 
riders in front. Quinton Pache, Garan Thomas, and Matteo Virture. Uh that Trek rider is not 
getting up yet. Who is it? I can’t tell from here. He’s sitting on the ground. Bike changes are 
ready. Medical cars right there. The Scoda medical   car. The Jearmms are there as well. I like the 
paint scheme right now on the track bikes. Okay, so yeah, when they catch up with him, he’s just 
sitting there and there happens to be one of   those padded things of road furniture there. Uh 
he’s sitting there looking very stiff. Oh man, it’s Skeleos too. Uh yeah, 19th overall in the GC. 
Their highest guy in the GC and he’s now sitting on the side of the road. I’m not sure if he will 
get back on his bike. He might be out already. Let’s get this coffee down, guys. Coffee, coffee, 
coffee. Um, well, okay, fully. Uh, what do you think, dude? What does everyone think? Let me know 
without saying Okay, guys. How about we do this without saying he’s a dirty doper? They’re all do. 
I don’t want that. I just want like what do you think? Why do you think his performance is so much 
better? Uh he’s a generational rider. I’m sure guys were saying the same thing about Eddie Mks 
when he was in his prime against the rest of the   Pelaton because he just won everything. Uh we had 
this discussion yesterday. If you think Pogy is dominant, just go back to the early ‘7s and take 
a look at Eddie Marks’ record. Like absolutely won everything. Uh okay, moving on here. Matt, 
there’s a guy here in Colorado, Matt Carpenter, with one of the highest V2 and won a bunch of 
high altitude races, but at sea level, he was an above average runner. Okay. Yeah. So, guys, it’s a 
genetic gift. You don’t have it. I don’t have it. Uh I think they honestly say an average V2 max. 
And guys, it’s probably for like a younger dude, too. Like, I’m not young anymore. Uh they’re 
saying it’s around 40. All these pro cyclists I think are like in the high 70s or uh you know 
in that range. That’s kind of like an elite cyclist. High 70s, low 80s. They actually say 
Lance was a low 80s. How did he win everything? Just stirring up. Scalmos is back on his bike. 
He’s already bandaged. Okay, that might be fresh   bandages. It is fresh bandages cuz I can see them. 
The bandages are over top of his jersey on his left arm. his entire arms bandaged now over top of 
the jersey here. The Inside Cycling World jersey, guys. Uh I was going to tell Joey, I was 
thinking about doing this. I might do I don’t know. This is some This is an idea I got. 
Guys, let me know if you’re interested. I thought   about doing a very limited edition run of Inside 
Cycling World T-shirts. Maybe something like I survived the tour with Colin over at Inside 
Cycling World. Something goofy like that. super limited because it costs me money to make 
them. Uh, and then they’re kind of collectible. There’ll only be like 20 or 30 of them in the 
world. Anyways, let me know if you think it’s   a good idea. Then I won’t waste my time doing 
doing them. Uh, okay. Don, good stuff here. Okay, so I’m going to look up this Matt Carpenter dude. 
Does he still race Matt? Matt’s talking about the   other mats. I got to turn this down, guys. Uh, 
I think my eyeballs are going to burn out here today. Uh, again, long day coming up. Oo, I look 
awake though. Don’t I? Yes, dude. I look awake. Sometimes I don’t even know what I look like on 
screen, guys. Uh oh, sorry, guys. I sometimes forget when I’m doing this what I’ve got on screen 
here. Sorry about that. Let’s go back to the live   tracker here. You can see here the the main group, 
the Pelaton, 165 riders, very attentive today. Uh we’ve been going over an hour and the breakaway is 
still trying to form. Three riders out front still   trying to get away. The front end of that pelaton 
is just insane. It’s just an evolving blob. Like 10 15 riders going up just getting all pulled 
back in. It just keeps rotating around. Just a schmazzle of riders. Um when are we getting to 
the juicy stuff, guys? The juicy stuff. Uh so we passed uh where is the autocom? I think. Okay. 
Okay, so that’s Lords. We must We must be just passing Ottocom now. Actually, it’s right here, 
I think. I think that’s the town there. We go through there and Ottocom goes up. There it is. 
Right there. There it is, guys. Love maps. So,   there’s the Otto climb we did two days ago. 
Uh, it wake works its way up basically where the broom wagon is right now on the screen. Uh, 
that’s the ascent of the Otto. So again, we all know where the Pyrenees are, but it’s really cool 
to see how all these climbs can be interconnected. Uh a day here, they could string a bunch of 
stuff together. Come back here. So 30 second lead now for the Cereal Front. Maybe they’re 
thinking about letting them go. I am seeing some   reactions on the main pelon now, guys. Going, 
okay, we got to get up there now. Uh we’re not that far from the sprint point. Skeleos is three 
and a half minutes behind the GC pelaton. Uh just a gradual climb here guys like 1 2% all day here 
before we really start climbing the call to term uh the souvenir Jacqu go at the top. So yeah great 
stories I think I read that this is the 89th scent of the call to uh it’s been used uh obviously 
at the tour to France and at the VA. So guys, um it’s not used this year at Devalta. I noticed 
that and actually I noticed a lot of the climbs   this year at Devalta. They’re more away from 
the Pyrenees. Uh we take on the Angular though, so I’m really excited about that. Steven Cycles, 
I thought that might be a really good flight sim   video. Uh V2 isn’t the only thing that can account 
for being elite in multiple disciplines. True that. Uh Don saying the average person’s V2 max 
is around 45 to 50 and most of the elite athletes are in the 80s but there are few are into the 90s. 
Those would be the folks who were the best of the best. True. That’s right. Uh Greg was supposedly 
at 93. Uh I heard Jonathan Ba was over 90. But just having a V V2 max like to what Matt is saying 
here, just having an allout engine doesn’t mean you’re going to be a pro cyclist. you what if you 
got the highest V2 max in the world, but you’re   a terrible bike handler or mentally you’re just 
super weak. Uh basically everything gets you down. Uh you don’t work well under pressure, you crack 
a lot. Uh there’s a lot more things in sports. Uh being mentally tough is part of it as well, 
although that’s been changing lately, I think. Robert says, “I’m comfortable believing that 
every 20 years or so an athlete comes along who   is just better than all the peers. Why was Merk 
so good?” Um, what’s up with Shai Otani? Is Oh, is that the baseball player? And some 
people are 7 feet tall. Exactly. Yeah,   there is genetic outliers and some of those 
genetic outliers favor certain things. Uh, you know, Tatty, what if he has the world’s 
highest V2 max? Let’s let him lift some weights, folks. Let’s get him in the gym and say, “Tatty, 
how much can you bench?” It’s probably nothing.   Uh, that’s not what he’s genetically good at. 
Obviously, we can all develop our skills and talents in certain areas. You know, if I was a 
56 year old dude. Yeah, that’s right, folks. 56. Still rocking it. Uh, I just found out that Phil 
Liot is 81. So there’s Dude, so you’re saying there’s a chance? Phil Liot is broadcasting at 81. 
So you’re saying there’s a chance? Uh I got a long time to go, folks. Uh before I ascend before I get 
there. Uh yeah, and you can develop any skill, but it won’t be to an elite level. There’s something 
in your genetics that doesn’t let you get there.   I’m sorry. Life’s not fair. We can’t all be 
pro runners, pro cyclists, or NBA players. Uh Lman here. Pog is insanely strong. His recovery 
is unreal after both the TT and the Mount S. But   I’d love to see more moves like we saw from 
Healey where someone takes real time on its dude. Absolutely. Absolutely, guys. There’s a lot 
left in this tour. There’s going to be a lot of riders here that are going for stage wins. Uh just 
the honor of doing it. Every rider here wants to be the first guy over top of the cold call to 
term. Every guy wants to be uh the winner of the stage today. They’re all competitive. 
Uh teams have different uh motivations. Uh Robert and then like with Serena Williams,   their competition takes a decade to bring their 
normal selves up to that level. Yeah. Yeah, once in a while someone comes along who’s so 
much better than the rest that they’re so much better it makes the rest of them look kind of not 
good and then finally things start catching up. Allow having more endurance allows you to train 
longer. Mental toughness is also a huge word,   dude. Absolutely. Uh and things have changed 
because now it’s all about mental health, taking care of your mental health in the old days, guys. 
And I know, I’ll just say it because I’m old. In the old days, you’d be like, “Oh man, he cracked.” 
Like under pressure, a football player who cracks under the pressure or a baseball, like say you’re 
the big hitter on the team and you just crack and   you cannot hit a ball. Uh you’d be called out 
for that. Uh like, yeah, he’s a great player, but he mentally he folds. Now it’s all changed, 
it seems. And I’m not trying to be a bad guy here, but now it’s been changed to well, they’re taking 
a mental health break. In the past, being mentally tough was seen as a good thing. Uh, if anyone 
knows kind of what I’m trying to say there. Uh, Evans here. Okay. Have a big engine, but you have 
to brave the decline. Down. Exactly, dude. At the back of the pel, you can go up and help Johnny 
and we will take care of Skellyy. Okay. So,   this is radio communications to the Trek riders. 
Uh, so they’re saying get up there if you can help Johnny because they want the sprint points today. 
You know, Trex uh going for this the green jersey and Skeleos is back on his bike. Looks pretty 
good, but his entire left arm has been bandaged by   the doctors on the fly. The bandages are above his 
jersey there. I’m seeing another rider jumping on his bike. Arnold Dele for lotto. Looks like he’s 
going for a bike change here. He like, you know, jumped off Cyclacross dismount. Speaking of 
Cyclacross, I’ve I haven’t seen Machu Vanderpool Vanderpool today. I will try to say his name 
correctly. Uh, who is this Trek rider on the front? Uh, it’s got the slightly different jersey. 
I gotta figure out who that is, guys. I hate when I don’t know right now. We’ll just jump back here. 
Oh, it’s Tomcoins. Tomcoins. Uh, I think this is the Danish jersey, isn’t it? Latafia. Sorry, 
Lafia. I screwed that one up, didn’t I? Uh, jump back here again. See the tracker? There’s 
four groups on the course right now, guys, and it’s about to go off, folks. It’s about to 
go off. This is one of the most fearsome climbs   of the tour. Sure, it doesn’t have all the crazy 
switchbacks, but it’s almost 20 km long, over 7% gradient. Remco Evanapole is back at his team car. 
Guys, thoughts on Remco? What are we going to do with this guy? What are we going to do with this 
guy? Was he just tired yesterday? Uh, give him two weeks off. Does he still beat people in the time 
trial? What happened yesterday? So, group one, three riders are front. So, this is the break 
that’s been allowed to go away. Best place rider   is Pache. He’s over an hour down. He’s in 36th 
place overall. Then we’ve got the Pelaton here. 165 riders. And looks like the groups are getting 
cleaned up behind now. We’re down to three groups. Mattea Skeleos here. Um, he is a little ways 
behind though. Wow, he’s almost 5 minutes down. I’m assuming they’re going to think things are 
going to slow down soon as we hit the start of the   term. Maybe it’s going to light up, folks. Maybe 
the fireworks are going off. Trek sitting strong on the front. Setting this up for the uphill 
sprint. So, we’re going to take a look at it here. Uh, wherever that’s called. Uh, let’s take a 
look at the map. We’ll see it. I think it’s right at the start town of the tormale. It is. This is 
the start town of the L St. Sava. That’s the start town of the Tormale. So when we turn this way, uh 
we’re climbing for 20 km for over 12 miles, guys. Okay. Um yeah, Evan, you’re totally correct 
there. Let’s say you got a 90 V2 max. You can climb any hill. You got to descend them, too. 
Look at Tom Pitcock how he can just like fly down hills. His bike handling skills are incredible. 
Uh just just remembered that yesterday too about Floyd Landis watching the 2006 tour to France. 
I kind of watched the crazy stage where he just decimated the field and then later on got busted 
for whatever he was on. Um then I found another video. I started from the very beginning. 
12-hour long video. This is all I do, folks. And uh yeah, I guess Floyd Landis 
came from a mountain bike background,   had a huge engine, was a good time 
trellis, and could descend really, really well. Uh Bruno Armarel a couple days 
ago was in a group, I think, of three or four, and at the bottom of the hill had a two-minute 
gap on them, so he can just descend. Uh yeah, yeah, dude is name is currently unavailable, 
dude. I think you know what I’m talking about. Remco needs a mental health break. Yeah, he does. 
He needs a bad day as I call. Paul Salon. Uh, uh, okay. Paul Salon here. Okay. He’s saying, 
“Let’s listen to Paul’s comment here. Lazy title, Tritonness, Mountain Madness.” Okay, dude. Thanks 
a lot. Uh, I’ll tell uh I think I’ll tell Joey Jojo that. Uh, so Paul, welcome aboard. Paul’s in 
the mix here, folks. He doesn’t like the title of   my video. Uh, I think it will be mountain madness 
though. Uh, I think we could see a lot of stuff go off here. Paul, what would you have called the 
title today of my channel of the video today? Uh, I think I might have called it uh I don’t 
know what I called it originally. I think   I had three words. Actually, that might have 
been changed on me, but I’m okay with it. Uh, Cole Kane Cole’s back from Saudi Arabia. Athletes 
should compare their V2 max with other athletes,   not the general population. That’s true, 
too. I can’t compare to these guys. Uh, Robert saying, “Wasn’t Floyd on bourbon 
and cortisol? Can you imagine? Is that what   he was on?” Like he was drinking. And I think 
cortisol is a pain. I think it helps suppress pain. I think that’s what cortisol does. 
Guys, I don’t know a ton about this. Uh,   just looking at some new books yesterday. Uh, pick 
up I think it’s Wheelman. That’s the new one over. It’s like like the the most detailed in-depth dive 
I think into the whole Lance era. We’re just going to call it the Lance era. It’s not just Lance. 
Flying along here, guys. Flying along. The climbs will be starting soon. HC ascent up the Call to 
Tour Malay. Uh 19.4 kilometers I believe at 7.4%. Uh it’s right here. Actually, if you guys 
look here, just past Super Baners here, I think this turn here is where Yeah, it is. 
This is where the old road, the Vois. Wow, I keep butchering that. The Vois Lauron Folon connects 
back on, guys. The big seaway here on the east coast of Canada is called the St. Lawrence Seaway, 
St. Lawrence. And for some reason, I keep taking that and squishing it together with Laurent, but 
that is the old ascent up there. Uh, it’s off to the side here. That was in that little flight sim 
video I was shown before. In fact, let’s go over   to Climbinder here. And you can’t, you can see it 
here. I’ve actually got the old route lit up. Um, if you look here, this is the old route. It’s 
actually called here Via Voisa Lauron Fon. If you go on Google Maps, you can actually see uh 
a little kind of like poster board there uh with a picture of Lauron Fenon at the start of this 
climb. It’s blocked off to traffic. Uh coming around here, we’re actually higher up than the 
the new road. We come along the side of this uh mountain here. We connect back on after uh I think 
that Super Baner is there. Then we connect on to the new road. So the the new road actually with 
these switchbacks is down lower just a little bit. Stage 14. Okay, we don’t want to 
be there. We’ll go live again. Okay, guys. It’s all been brought 
back together. The Pelaton’s not   letting these guys get away right now. Uh, okay. EPO era. Yeah, we’ll just call it that. EPO error. 
And I think that started the more times you say   Lauron Fon, the better. Yes, exactly. Lauron 
Fon, the professor. That guy, I think he died of cancer. I think he was only in his early 50s when 
he died. Uh really good cyclist, very stylish, loved him. Uh the Greg Lemon days. Uh there was a 
little bit of coverage of that on TV way back when that I saw uh when Greg won by 8 seconds. Again, 
Tre sitting on the front. Cloud level is quite low today, guys. Uh I don’t think helicopters will be 
flying around much in this stuff. Probably going to be a lot of motorbike feet, I would imagine. 
I bet you they’re grounded actually. And to think about it, I think it has only been motorbike shots 
mostly here. It’ll probably all burn off. So yeah, this is probably like an hour plus climb for them, 
I would imagine. Hour. Okay, first signs of Tatty sitting at the front now. Uh decked out in yellow. 
Trek team on the front here. Scoins at the front from Lafia here. Fourth back is uh Quinn Simmons. 
Team Simmons. Looks like there’s at least five or six riders. Oh, and Bingy’s up there, too. Bingham 
knows he needs to get some of these points, guys. 240 people watching. Please like the video 
if you can so others can see it. Uh, moving on, guys. Jonathan Vandenberg here. Pogy is just going 
to play it safe from here on out. He just needs to keep wheelside down. Not expecting fireworks. 
Yeah. Uh, I’m not expecting Pogy to attack. I think others will. It’s going to be up to UAE 
who do they react to. Uh Vizma I think needs to send riders up there whether that helps them 
or not in the long run. Vizma sending riders like let’s say they send Vout up the road 
today and they send Simon Yates up the road   uh Campon Arts whoever else is that really going 
to help them win the stage? Probably not. Uh but it just might let something develop. I thought to 
myself last night about this too. Is uh is Vizma going to be happy with second? Like would you just 
sit back right now and ride for second? Jonathan Milan uh about six riders back right now. They’ll 
be at the sprint point right away, guys. They’re   getting to it right now. Hitting the sprint point 
now. Flying in. Trying to keep as live as I can, you guys. I’m just slightly delayed here. There’s 
no I have no control over that. This is as live as   I can get. So, we’re going to see how the sprint 
point goes down here. Uh hopefully we’ll get some details. Yep. More attackers were caught. If 
I see if I see a sprint replay here coming up, I’ll let you know how it goes down. Uh we’re 
going to see who wins it right away. So, what we can do. Yeah, it’s going to flash up on screen, 
isn’t it? Uh Scoin still pulling at the front. Two Trek riders behind him. Uh, at this point here in 
my delay, that lady needs to get out of the road. She’s kind of like kneeling down, one arm out, leg 
out on the side of the road, right in the gutter, taking pictures on her phone. Guys, quick picture 
and then get out of the road. Stormcoins just pulls off. Three Trek riders leading up, four trek 
riders leading up Milan. Bingan coming up quick, guys. Bingan coming up quick. He’s sitting 
right two riders back from uh Milan. I just want to see how strong Johnny is here. 
Uh, some of you probably already see the results. Bingham’s not far back. He’s trying to stay active 
here. Jonathan Milan lights it up at 200 meters to   go. Goes at 200 m out. Bingham’s third. Looks like 
I can’t see the rider. Alison Ryder behind him. 50 m out. Uh, Jonathan Milan just takes it. Alison 
Ryder just coast across second. Bingam in third. So, a few more points there. And we can see right 
away Milan dominates the intermediate sprint. It   was Vanderpool who comes second ahead of Germine, 
Turgis and Simmons. So Total getting up there again. Uh Dawn here saying, “I would concede 
second place to be the most dominant cyclist of 2025, but I wouldn’t want to lose second 
place either.” Yeah, it’s it’s a tough spot   for Vizma. Uh I see a lot of chitchat in all the 
groups I’m in. Vizma has to attack. You know what else can they do? Yeah, but if they attack and it 
doesn’t work, they could lose even more time. So, it’s all about protecting your second place. It’s 
kind of like I don’t think Pogy, he doesn’t need to attack. He just has to defend now. Uh, does he 
want to win to today’s stage? He probably does. I bet you his team will tell him, “You are not 
attacking under any circumstance because if it doesn’t work and you crack, uh, you could lose the 
tour.” So, they’re probably telling him there’s no attacks. I know in the past they said Tatty 
can be a little bit reckless. Guys, we are now on the start of the call to tour uh the OG high 
alpine pass at the tour to France. 19 km long, 17 7.4% gradients. It’s just a steady gradient 
all the way. Uh Raymond Romana, Greg Lamond, why I quit cycling. Okay, he’s got a V2 92.5. 
He seems to indicate current pros are clean despite their crazy power numbers. The diet, the 
training and equipment make a difference. Yeah,   that’s basically what they’re accounting it all 
for. There’s been so much development. Uh yeah, so Jonathan Milan first, Bonderpool, Germay, Turgis, 
and Quinn Simmons. Take all those top five points. When you look at the old videos, you know, like 
I’m watching videos from 2006. They’re not even   on carbon wheels. They’re riding aluminum wheels, 
just little boxy wheels. Nothing arrow about it. Uh cables everywhere. Look at the clothing from 
2006. Uh it’s all loose. It’s like a a very very loose fitting jersey. No, like no tighter than 
what I’m wearing right now. Uh everything was loose. You know, it just wasn’t aerodynamic. Like 
there’s been so many little, as we say, marginal gains over the years. that’s going to account for 
a good chunk of it. Uh George Higs is in the mix, folks. Hey, George. Nice to meet you. Uh and you 
too, Raymond. Thank you for your comments. Uh good   to see Grant Thomas up near the front. Yeah, last 
tour to France for Gr for Grant. I’m not even sure if he’s going to what he’s doing after this. So, 
Milan’s got his points. Going to be a long day for   Jonathan Milan now. Uh Grupetto unite. Grupetto 
unite. They’ll be all off the back here real quick at the front. Pelaton 6% gradient here right 
now, guys. This is where we start climbing. Uh we’re probably half a kilometer into this ascent 
right now. Just showing you this here again. Uh vo laon cuts off here, comes around here where 
it’s called the route to term. That old road on the screen right now. Uh, and then it connects 
back on the modern route takes you through a series of little switchbacks through Super Baners 
and then we’re on the same road. Uh, green jersey is already 1 minute 29 seconds back. Skeleos is 
still trying to work his way up by himself. Uh, he is almost 5 minutes behind the green jersey. 
24 riders in the green jersey group already. These guys all just pulled the pin. The parachutes are 
out. They pulled the E bra. Uh they’re gone for the day, folks. They are gone for the day. Johnny 
Milant, Tim Merier, Demar, Ballerini. Uh yeah, looking here. Bingham’s still in that group up 
ahead. He seems to be able to climb a little   bit bit better. Maybe he just tries a bit more on 
the climbs, trying to hang on. Uh we’ll keep that right there for now. Milan, yeah, easy sprint for 
him. 53.6k an hour. Was slightly uphill. Uh but not an allout speed burst for Milan. Basically, 
they just kind of coasted across the uh sprint   line there at the intermediate sprint. Guys, pile 
in. Jump into the party. Let me know where you’re from. Uh, okay. Okay. I got to keep catching up 
here. Robert Leandon were back and forth the whole 89 Tour. Greg behind over a minute before the 
final stage. Stage 21. Final time trial. Short 50-mi time trial. Too much to overcome. Finan was 
almost cocky until the final straight. Exactly. Uh Le Man came out uh final stage uh was the final 
stage or was it stage 20? Maybe there was a stage after to look into that. Uh Le Man came out full 
arrow every trick available he came out with. Fin time trial. He was a good time trialist too. Uh 
thought he had it. Lost by 8 seconds overall. I still remember to the pictures of him just laying 
on the road there realizing he’d lost the tour   to France by 8 seconds. Yeah, Germay definitely 
one of the better climbing sprinters. He’s still hanging here with the main group. Uh don’t don’t 
pop believing Journey, but I had a stop in there. Uh don’t stop believing. Don’t pop believing 
here. Can Milan win the stage? Absolutely not,   dude. There’s not a chance for Milan to win this 
stage. Uh this stage is set up for the strong men of the tour. Perhaps a really good breakaway uh or 
a lone climber assaulting Luchon Super Banani at the end. Milan will just now ride in the groupto 
groupto growing right now. 30 riders. Uh who will be the first rider to cross the termite today? 
Any guesses? Oh, here’s another one guys too. Which will be the most important part of 
today’s stage? Where will the big break setup, the winning move go off? I think it could be 
the parisord. Could be the parasord. If you can get across the parasord force first, uh, a 
lot of riders will be well experienced with it from yesterday. They know at least twothirds of it 
just from riding it yesterday. We’re going to see probably the same camper vans out on course uh get 
up over top of the parisord and just run and try to get a a lead going with the super bananers. 
Uh okay, just trying to catch up guys. So yeah, don’t pop believing. Thanks for joining us here. 
Visma spent too many matches with unnecessary attacking on stages three through nine and they 
have nothing left. Okay, Don, let’s hope let’s hope they got something left. Riders going off 
the front here now. Looks like guys are trying to get away. Intermar rider here and a looks like 
a total energies rider. 7% gradient here climbing up through this wide broad valley. UAE riders on 
the front doing most of the work. Uh Tatty sitting around third, but there’s a bunch of other teams 
coming up now. Inos Grenadier is coming up right   now. I’m not sure who this is yet. Uh it’s not 
showing up on the screen obviously. It’s just it’s forming. They’re getting 10 meters. They’re 
getting pulled back. It’s forming. They’re getting   10 meters. They’re getting pulled back. So, you’re 
not seeing all the breaks pop up on the screen here. Let’s just see what the tour feeds got here. 
Yeah. Here we go for the tour the call to term here on X. That looks very similar to what I just 
looked at. Jonathan Milan picks up 20 points there at the sprint. Uh looks like someone’s on the 
side of the road. It is a total energies rider. probably a weird wheel change, I believe. So, 
you know, yeah, you’re riding in a nice group, pacing yourself, you’ve got your rhythm, and 
then you get a flat tire. So, Mattea Skeleos, uh, from what I’m seeing here, a little bit behind. 
Uh, he’s just coming through the sprint point. Four minutes down now. Oh my guys, Remco has blown 
up already. Remco has blown up, guys. What I’m seeing here, here’s my prediction. Remco will pull 
out of the tour of France today. Remco Aventipole is off the back and he doesn’t have one rider 
with him. So that’s telling me, yes, dude. Okay, so let me catch caught up here. Uh, Don, yep, Gant 
started a YouTube channel. Yeah, I see him all the time doing his podcast after the stage. Uh, 
Colin, I think your virtual cycling experience and   geology background gives you a unique perspective 
that makes you different from the other cycling channels. Don, thank you very much. I just like to 
chitchat, too. I’m a chit chatter. I It’s amazing   the amount of people say, “Dude, how do you do 
this for four or five hours straight? How do you just keep talking?” Whether you guys think it’s a 
I’m sure there’s people that hate this stuff. Uh, and that’s fine, guys. There’s lots of people 
doing channels and stuff like that. This is how   I do it and this is how I want to do it. I like to 
have fun. I like to talk to people, try to convey what’s going on. Uh, but like I said, Ramco is out 
the back exploding, guys. Here it is. It’s finally showing up here. Now, he’s 50 seconds out the back 
and Sudal’s got him by himself. I think at this point, Sudal has they probably already know that 
he’s going to drop out. Uh he’s their number one guy. They probably had a big talk last night. 
Uh this is my story I’m making up in my head.   He’s like, “Dudes, I’m going to start tomorrow. 
I’m pulling out on the start of the Tormale. I don’t feel good. Uh I’m going to start focusing 
on the Velta. I think about Worlds coming up in   September. Uh, this is not my thing. So guys, I 
think third place for the tour to France is wide open. Now, let’s uh take a look at the rankings 
again here, guys. We’re going to go stage third after stage 13 general rankings. So, Remco is out. 
Lipo, it’s He’s not out yet. I shouldn’t be so uh dramatic about that, but uh Remco is really 
struggling at the start. Uh well guys, it’s saying here we still have 15 kmters of the climb left. 
The Kathlon rider here shaking his head. Uh these are the world’s best. Okay, now they finally have 
a Sudal rider back with him. I’m surprised it took a that long. Remco is waving to the camera bike. 
Get going. Get going. Don’t look at me. Riding in his gold helmet. Oh yeah, he’s ticked off. 
I I don’t blame him. I don’t blame him. That’s   probably one of the hardest parts. The camera guys 
are just doing the job, though. So, Don, thank you for your comments there. Sprinters are down. They 
just need to hang on to the finish. Yep. They just   need to grind it out at the back. Uh, UAE was 
pulling. This is Pedro Bellow here asking. Uh, yeah, I can still see right now that main Pelaton, 
guys. Here’s my guess from what I’m looking at. 60 riders. Let’s take a look at the Pelaton right 
now. Well, it’s saying 125 here. Uh, I guess it depends where they’re taking start and finish 
point from, but there’s like a main blob. It’s   It’s not 125 riders. I’ll tell you that right now. 
Uh, it’s going to kind of accordion rubber band back and forward. So, right now at the front, it’s 
not saying who our leading group is. I’m seeing an Inos Anos rider at the front. And then it’s 33 
seconds back to this Pelaton. They’re saying it’s 130, but I think it’s if it’s 130, it’s like 40 
here, 20 here, 3 and six here. You know, it just they’re all over the place. Uh Aventipole 117 at 
the back. They finally got Ankhorn with him. This is Pascal and Horn trying to take care of him. Uh 
let me know guys, after yesterday’s performance, do you think that Remco has already made the 
decision to pull out today? Let me know about   that. Uh I saw some of the comments. I want to 
get to you here. Alvaro Cessen, new dude here, dude. Welcome aboard. Welcome to the channel, 
Inside Cycling World. Uh, I’m Colin. Nice to meet you. Uh, good morning. Greetings from Panama. 
Good luck to all. So, we got Panama in the house,   folks. Yeah, Pedro Bellow was asking if UAE was 
pulling. They were. I saw Tatty like third place uh from the front. Ben Healey here in a little 
bit of a group. So, we’re going to start getting   some names here, guys. I’m now seeing six riders 
in the front group. Septus for Visma, guys. Okay, there’s the Anios rider. I kind of had a a thought 
it was uh Thimman Eronman. He did really well on stage 10. Uh I thought he would have done better 
on the autocom. Uh 23rd overall though. Then we got Muleberger. We saw him have a mechanical rot 
store. Rubio Reos from Ovastar and Lenny Martinez. He wants some polka dot jersey points. So we got 
that group. Then we got the Pelaton. It is seeing 130 riders here at 51 seconds. Aventole 1 minute 
30 back. I’m going to keep a close eye on this, guys. I I honestly believe that I think there’s 
going to be a Sudal car pulled over somewhere and Aventipole is just going to jump off his bike 
and I think he’s just going to jump in the car   and he’s gone. That’s my thoughts. Let me know if 
you uh think there’s any truth to that. Uh good uncle Traveling Matty here. I just I just like 
to call him Uncle Maddie. Good old Uncle Maddie. Uh, good morning. Hope your coffee is warm. It’s 
actually cold now. Uh, Pogy wins again today. I could Yeah, definitely. I could definitely 
see that happening. Still was the odds on   favorite to win. Uh, he’s probably the odds on 
favorite to win every day if you could bet on every different stage. 78% gradient all the way, 
guys. Where are we on the map right now? So again, this is just that broad valley climb to get 
us started. The hardest parts of this are um I would say are these big switchbacks 
up here. These switchbacks seem to go on forever and forever way up here. Uh I’ve done this 
climb with Steven Cycles and another good friend uh Joel Noggera. Uh we all did it together. And 
when I say I think I said this yesterday, okay, looking here. Yeah, UAE is controlling the front, 
guys. Four riders on the front. Tatty’s there, too. Picking up guys that have fallen back out 
of the group that’s trying to get away. There   is a group up front. They just picked up an Inter 
Marier rider. And apparently Vizma has Okay. Well, Sepus was there, so he’s somewhere in between 
now. Ben Healey, I did see him earlier. Ben Healey’s there as well. Jordan Jagat’s 
there. Enrich Mass, Ben O’ Conor. Actually,   there’s quite a few names here. Simon Yates, 
Sept Cous. Uh they are 45 seconds up the road from the Tatty group. So right now Vizma has 
sent a couple of their riders up front. Two of them for sure. It’s quite a big group too. 
Pari Poncho is there. Michael Woods, you know, like how do you see this developing for Visma? 
Can they get some riders up the road? Position it for later. keep their fingers crossed that Tatty 
feels human and uh he’s not the super alien uh the mutant alien from Slovenia uh that can outride 
everyone. That’s what they got to hope for. Yeah. So going up the HC climb if it if it’s 
Super Banar’s going up and Tatty’s right there   if it’s not a breakaway uh yeah Tatty’s going 
to win that too. Good question, Maddie. Yeah, dude. Philip’s uh caught on here. Philip Lman, 
uh Remco’s out the back of the Pelaton already. Uh at the start, he like less than two and a 
half kilometers into the start of the term,   he’s out the back. Uh Remco’s pulling out, guys. 
Remco, I’m I’m positive he’s going to pull out. Just the thoughts yesterday that kind of crushing 
defeat going up the uh the paragoods individual time trial the pretty much the best time trialist 
in the world that did not suit him. I think the heat got to him. Uh someone said earlier he needs 
a mental health break. He needs a bed day. That’s another joke I have with my friend. Bed days. You 
know, you’re I don’t Dude, I have no I have no   reference to this because he does it and I don’t. 
We joke about it. Jokes about laying and having a bed day with jasmine and lavender scented candles 
nearby. He’ll never watch this video. Uh he was the first supporter of my channel though. He’s 
a friend I known for years. Uh he is a member of the channel and he doesn’t watch it. Uh yeah. So, 
Philip Lomi here, Remco is way behind now. He’s a minute and a half down behind Tatty. Actually, 
he’s 40 seconds behind Tatty right now. He is   not looking good already. Uh, Remco is definitely 
struggling here. Uh, Bruce is saying Remco will have something to eat, recover, and come back. Oh, 
Nina, I hope so. And, you know, shout out to Remco   from a few days ago. He got dropped, I think, on 
the Salore or the Bordeairs, and he did come back. He fought his way back. Did fall behind on the It 
was the Ocom day. Um, I don’t want Remco to drop out. Uh, I really don’t. Just what I’m seeing here 
now with how far back he is already. Okay, front group guys. Let’s take a look here. Four riders up 
there. Martinez going for the points. Par Ponch, Rubio Reyes, Arenssman, really good climber. 
Chasing group Johansson. Wow, guys. Here’s eighth place at the Tour to France in this chasing 
group trying to get to the front. you know X for   the win. Uh like honestly uh they’re a prolevel 
team, guys. They’re not a World Tour team. They probably have the smallest budget out of everyone 
here. Uh eighth place overall at the front today. I love this style of rider right here. These are 
the kind of riders I want to see all the time.   Putting it all out there, risking, you know, that 
eighth place position. I guarantee you finishing top 10 for UNOX is like the achievement of the 
year. Uh really impressed by this dude and they caught on. Looks like they’re catching on right 
now to this group up front. Uh so there’ll be more   riders in that front group now. Hasn’t shown yet, 
but they were down to a 1 second uh gap. It’s 102 back to the Pelaton. Tatty, Yonas, Lipo, it’s only 
Vocalon, Roick are all there from that. It’s only 20 seconds back to Aventipole. 30 seconds now 
it’s showing uh that group. Venipole, Clement, Berth, Tiss Bonut, Velasco, Venturini, Enhorn who 
came back to help uh Remco, Campon Arts is there, Neielson Pow, Jesper Stoven’s, Johansson, Fred 
Wright, and Brett Van Moore. I was going to say Bert. Flying along, guys. Flying along. 
So, yeah, it’s I think it’s somewhere. Yeah, I’m looking at the old road here. This is where 
they would go on the Vo la. Take a look at the video, guys. Uh, I had a lot of fun doing that 
video with Steven Cycles. Stephen, like I said,   we need to do more of those. I need to get on my 
game and do more of those for every video to show you the climbs cuz in your mind, you think call to 
like I don’t know what it looks like. Hopefully, that video can kind of give you an idea. 7 8% all 
the way here. showing that they still have almost uh over 11 km to go. Go a look at it here. 
So, they’re not even halfway up the climate, guys. Not even halfway up the climb. So, can you 
imagine coming out here? Here’s another funny   story, too, about uh the guy Stenis. I think 
it’s Stenise. I think it was a Belgian dude. Uh he was hired by degra to go up here and 
find some new killer routes to uh make sure the riders couldn’t finish the tour to France. 
When he got to the next day when he was rescued uh UAE working the front of the Pelaton Neil Plet 
right there, full Trovago. We’re going to call him Mr. Tvago from now on. Uh I shouldn’t make fun 
of him. Uh he’s always grimacing. His teeth are always showing. All I see is white right there. uh 
very good rider, very strong member of UAE. When he was rescued the next day after he almost froze 
to death at night, uh wolves were in the area.   This area back then probably did have bears. There 
is still bears in the northern part of Spain uh up in the uh Kabrian Mountains. I’ve mentioned that 
before. Uh I did a full video about a ride through the Kabrians. Jordan Jagat here, 13th overall, 21 
minutes down. This is the rider that got a penalty a few days ago for holding on to the car too 
long. Uh looks like he’s with Simon Yates. That looks like a Simon Yates riding style. Uh back 
to the chat. Uh next day almost died the night before. Rescued at 3:00 a.m. in the morning, high 
altitude, soaking wet. It would have been freezing   conditions up there. He basically sent a telegraph 
uh you know whatever they did back then in 1910 and said basically to the extent paraphrasing 
guys road is good totally acceptable riders can do it and he just finished almost dying the night 
before. Uh so basically they just said yeah let’s just go. It would have been a dirt road back then. 
No pavement. Uh I love it. Uh, Robert saying Renco needs to get away from the Belgian pressure cooker 
of a team he’s on. Would love to see him move over   to EF and party a little. Yeah, EF seems like a 
really uh fun team to be on. What I’m seeing here, Lenny Martinez moving to the front here. There is 
eight riders in this group, but it’s kind of like   evolving all the time. One goes off the front, 
couple come backs. I can see Aaron’s been reacting right now to Martinez. So, this front group, we’ve 
got the eighth place rider overall right now. Yes, dude. I’m liking this. Ben Healey is there. 
11th place. Um, dude, these guys need to work together. All these guys need to work together. 
Johansson, Healey, Ben Oconor, include Aaron’s been in there. He’s a really good climber. Uh, 
start working your way up. Johansson’s only 10 minutes 36 seconds down overall. You know X. 
Yes, dudes. Love these guys. Hang it all out there. Let’s go, buddy. Remco is 46 seconds 
45 seconds behind uh the GC Pelaton. So, he hasn’t completely cracked here. Hopefully, 
I’m completely wrong, guys. But just to see him   do that bad at the start of the first climb, he’s 
in rough shape. Uh do you think he liked getting passed by Yonas yesterday? That must have been a 
tough one. Uh, Uncle Matty Remco has never really impressed me when it comes to a GC at the tour. 
He’s a great rider, especially the time trial,   but him and Vanderpool do not have it in the long 
mount. Exactly 100% Matty, you are 100% correct. Remco, I love him. I love seeing him in a time 
trial. He’s the most arrow guy out there. Uh, I even watching him today, I’m saying in September, 
he wins time trial uh at World Championships. I’m going to say that right now. He’s got the talents. 
There’s something about the tour longer tour stage stage races he’s just not good at. Maybe he needs 
more recovery time. That’s part of being a Grand Tour rider. Some guys only do short stages. Some 
guys only do one day races. It’s all different. Don saying, “I think Tatty takes it easy today.” 
Okay, I missed that comment. Uh Don, you’re number   one in the chat, dude. Thank you very much. 
Uh rocking it. 350 people watching right now, guys. I think Pogy takes it easy today and lets 
the breakaway take the stage while still gaining   more time on Yonas. I wonder how stiff sore his 
arm is from the abrasions. Yeah, Tatty still suffering from that crash a few days ago. Uh sure 
doesn’t look like it, but he is. And I could see that happening, Don. Uh UAE sticks close. Remco 
pulled over to the side of the road by himself. He pulled out of that group he was riding with. He 
was riding in a group of about five or six riders. He’s pulled way over to the right road by 
himself. Watching closely here, guys. Yeah, he’s just he’s not having a good day. He’s just 
having a stretch of bad days. And who’s this   here? Uh Mobile Rider, Ivon Romeo, the young dude. 
Romeo Abad, way out the back, barely moving. Uh I think he’s getting ready to put his foot down. I 
think he’s calling for a team car for something. I don’t know if he’s having a mechanical or 
he’s struggling to insane. Yeah. So, Remco is now falling out of the group that he was traveling 
with. I think his Sudal buddy is up the road from him. Um, kind of leaning more to the fact that 
he’s looking for a turnout and he’s going to jump   into a team car and I don’t want to be the guy 
saying that. Ben O’ Conor looks like he’s moving hard at the front with Lenny Martinez. Come on, 
Ben. Let’s do it, dude. JCO Alula, get it. Uh, yeah. So, Dawn, you’re right. They can let the 
break go. Pogy just needs to hang out with Yonas. Pogy will still take a little bit of time out of 
Yonas. Let’s say they stick together all the way   on super bananers. I would expect Pogy still to 
win. He’s just at such a level right now. He’ll probably still take 10, 15 seconds out of Yonas 
and let the other guys beat themselves up all day. So, Remco is no longer able to 
hang with uh the group he was with. Uh Nina, good comment here. I’ve seen this 
too. Remco has possibly already signed for Red Bull Borah Gro. I’ve seen that comment. Uh 
that rumor somewhere, too. So, behind Tatty, we got four UAE riders on the front. We got Tatty 
and then we have three Vizma riders. There’s only three. So UAE’s team is stronger than Vizma right 
now. I think that’s cuz we got a couple of U Visma   riders up the road. Quinn Simmons is in this 
group still, guys. Very stretched out. Uh we are at a slightly lower grading here, four or 5%. 
Where are we on the course right now? Oh, I love they’re finally getting to the good switchbacks 
here. We’re actually uh running parallel to Little   Ron Road. Green Jersey back here. 31 riders 
including Skeleos. So, Skeleos got back on uh riding the compet right now. Remco was having a 
good chat with the car. Probably he’s now slapping the hand of the car, the the door on the car. 
Yeah, guys, it’s not looking good for MCO right now. It is not looking good for Remco. Uh this 
is a little bit delayed, but this is virtually the car is moving on without him. So, there’ll be 
a secondary car somewhere and I think he’s gonna exit stage left into that car and I’m and I’m 
not happy about that. Uh, Wade WDE’s back. UA is on top of their game this tour. Absolutely. 
Wade, you called that right. Uh, Nina seen lots of cycling journals talking about it. Uh, this 
looks like a BA Rain Rider here struggling as well. Ben O’Connor driving hard at the front 
with Lenny Martinez. Ben taking the gels in. These guys are probably rocking like 150 grams of 
carbs per hour right now, which is insanity to me. Remco grabbing a bottle from a feed station. 
Sorry, Tatty grabbing a bottle from a feed   station. Dumps the old one, picks up the new one. 
Picks up two bottles. At least it’s not sweltering hot today. Uh, so Nah’s obviously up to speed. Nah 
seems to be quite the cycling fan, too. Oh yeah, Remco’s gone, guys. He’s gone. Another group 
just blows right past him. Probably going 50 60% faster than him. Very unfortunate. I love 
this guy. All the team cars are coming past him. Wonder which I I doubt he’s going to go into 
the broom wagon. He’s going to want to get into   a team car, sit in the back seat, and Yeah. What 
do you say, right? So many like, you know, goals, aspirations for the tour, and then this happens. 
Yeah. He’s not barely pedaling at the back, guys. Uh yeah, wait here in St. Tatty on stage 
with his road bike without Yeah, I think he picked the right bike. I think the TT bike yesterday 
was the mistake. Uh, it helped Tatty on that   road bike only. Martinez calling for Ben O Conor 
to come through. Lots of arm flicking going on. Oh, they’re having a nice little chitchat out 
there, too. Nice little chitchat. I wonder   what they say to each other. So, I think 
right now, guys, uh, from what I’m seeing, there’s just a couple of riders in the front 
group. is uh Lenny Martinez, Ben Oconor. You know, this could be Oh, Remco is swerving around back 
there. Uh Wade saying Remco’s cracking. Dude, he’s beyond cracked right now. He’s going to 
get ready to pull out of the tour of France. He’s now back the medical car. Uh and they are 
passing him. I think he’s getting broomagoned. Uh Mattiey’s asking which riders may try 
to break away in the last two climbs. I   am interested in seeing Alfa Phipe or a couple 
of other veterans get I think it’s going to be uh guys that are like just outside the 
top 10. We got a bunch of them there.   I’ll jump to that. I’m just watching 
Remco here. Catch up with the chat. Dawn, I bet Remco has some digestive issues 
that have impacted his power levels. Probably had a bad oyster during the rest. Exactly. Bad 
oysters. Got to be careful when you take those guy those ones in. Remco. Yeah, Miguel Cascan here. 
This this dude’s been here before, too. Miguel, good to have you back. Yeah, Remco looks done. 
He looks absolutely destroyed out there. I mean, there’s the group he was with with Inkhorn left 
him. He pulled over and they left. Then his team car came up. He slapped his hand like kind of 
along the ridge of the door where the window comes   up. Like probably like, “Damn, I’m done.” Uh, they 
left him. Another group came flying by. Martinez is currently dropping uh Ben Oconor. He was 
calling for Ben Oconor to the front. Uh Ben didn’t want to do any work at that point. So, I think 
Martin says, “Fine, I’m going alone then. I’m not   going to pull you up to the front.” 8% gradient 
here, folks. Let’s take a look at where they are on the map. Uh they still got a ton of climbing to 
do here. They have a ton of climbing still to go. Uh coming through some of the hardest parts here 
through these switch packs. Uh you would have seen this on that video. These switchbacks here, this 
is where in the video all the roads, the roads had all the names on it. And where the road kind 
of loops back and goes the opposite direction, that’s where we connect on with the old road. Let 
me show you this on Climb Fightinder here to you   guys. So again, here’s those switchbacks. Here’s 
where the road loops back around and joins the the other road. The old route is here. That’s the 
one I’ve actually got highlighted. It’s actually a tiny bit harder than the new route. Uh there’s 
rankings for all these scores on Climbinder. This is an 1124. You can see beside the HC there on 
the left side, middle of the screen, it’s rated as an 1124. I think the uh the current route is an 
11-1ven. Not that it makes that much difference. This is a good one, guys. This is a 
good one. Uh that’s way earlier today, guys. Sorry about that. Uh here we go. Okay, everything’s caught up now. Watching this 
live here, folks. Get to the race. Let’s see   what they’re saying here. I want to see what 
they’re saying. Oh, okay. So, I didn’t see it happen. Aventole and Skeleos. Oh, it’s happening 
live now. Uh, okay. So, he has abandoned. He’s jumping into the Sadal car and Skeleos is out too. 
They were first and six in the best young R. So, it looks like uh from what I saw, Remco just got 
into a team car. It just flashed up on screen as I saw it here. How that must have happened just 
now. Yeah, it’s 6:14 in the morning here. 213 there uh 1 minute ago. We still got 100 kilometers 
to go, guys. Lenny Martinez going off the front. Ben Healey kind of drifting a little bit back 
from the group. He’s in here. So, maybe Ben is   struggling a bit now on this climb. The fatigue 
of the tour is setting in. So, Remco just pulled out and he did step into a team car. Uh that 
was my prediction earlier. Let me catch up. Uh Nina saying Red Bull is the only soft drink 
allowed in the team. RBH nutrition said   understandable but tiresome. Yeah, I could 
see that. Nina, I hope Enor is pulling so Remco doesn’t have to pull the whole group like 
yesterday. Yeah, unfortunately he’s just stepped   out. He has abandoned the tour to France. And 
I to me the writing was on the wall to be that far behind at the very first climb of the day. Uh 
and after the results of yesterday, he’s just not feeling it. Uh that looks like Simon Yates in a 
small group there. Going to check the front again, guys. Martinez going it by himself. He wants the 
points at the top. Let’s take a look at the call to terminal here. First place 20 points. First 
place 20 points. I think he’s uh he’s tied right now with uh actually Pogy would have more points 
right now I believe. I think we can look here and see it. Yeah. Uh Pogy has 37. I think Lenny has 
27. Lenny has 27 points. Vingo has 27 points. So Lenny wants the 20 points putting him back 
ahead of Pogy. He’ll be uh was it 20 points? It is 20 points. Uh if he takes this over the top, he 
will then be 10 points ahead of Pogy, the tadpole. Uh McGill, I would I would not wondering if Remco 
goes out of the tour today. He’s out, dude. Uh he is gone now. Uh I’m I see my chat. I’m about 10 
minutes behind the chat. Third in a row. Uh bad conditions. Something is wrong with him. Exactly. 
I don’t think he’s feeling it at all. Yesterday   kind of showed really bad for him. He was caught 
by Yonas Mingo. took two minutes out of them. So, team Bar and Victorious, Lenny Martinez at the 
front right now. Uh, roads look dry up here. Camper vans everywhere. Uh, very gray and overcast 
up here. There’s no sunlight coming through. Brandon. Okay, so uh, Aunt Debbios is here again. 
Good morning, Brandon. Pogy. Pogy obviously has a very high V2 max. He’s also pound-forpound 
genetically gifted. very strong and light. He’s also not very tall. He’s light. He’s strong. Great 
nutrition and power. Yeah, dude. Totally. It’s a   combination of all those things. Uh Morse code 
for SOS. Uh let me just uh slam back here, guys. Trying to get caught up. Okay. Uh yeah, guys, I 
lost where I am in my chat, so I have to Okay, so Morse code for SOS YZ Rush. Anyone know that 
song of the uh moving moving pictures album? One of the greatest albums of all time. If you guys 
don’t know Rush, you should. Uh as a Canadian,   you have to be very proud. You know what? Either 
you love Rush or you hate them. That’s just how it is. Uh Brandon, he’s also in a very sophisticated 
nutrition program. I looked it up for example. Oh yeah, all the supplements. Actually, I know 
there’s a new podcast that came out. Sai was here   a few days ago mentioning it. Uh, they talked 
to I think the head of I don’t know if it’s nutrition or perform head of performance of UAE. 
Cring’s back, dude. Glad to have you here. Uh, Yonas with a toilet on his head. Yeah, that 
was yesterday, dude. That was hilarious. Am   I saying your name right, dude? Uh, actually, 
maybe it’s Karin. Karin or Krin? I was saying Krin. It’s looks like more like Karin. Still 
laughing over Dawn’s bad oyster theory. Yeah, he’s done. UAE is working the front, guys. Uh 
8% gradient here. It’s 7.4% gradient average for 19 kilometers. It barely gets off that. We’re 
a little bit above it or a little bit below it. Uh it’s getting very misty up here. Uh most people up 
here, guys, it must be pretty cold. Uh people are wearing like light jackets. Uh it’s not just guys 
running around in the uh oh the uh you know their little speedos and whatnot running alongside the 
riders. Everyone’s got you know shorts and stuff on. The cyclists all have like riding jackets on. 
The fans have riding jackets on jackets and long sleeve pants on. It’s not warm up here. It’s I I’m 
going to guess it’s like 10° up here. 10°C. So, looks like we got a secondary group. So, we got 
Lenny Solo. Secondary group, we got nine riders. Johansson, this dude right here really impresses 
me. Uh Rodriguez for Inos, impressive. He’s got uh a friend there in the form of Thyman Arensman, who 
was super good on stage 10. Seuss is in the mix, guys. Se kind of starts shining in the mountains. 
And actually, you know what? I think Se had a top 20 finish yesterday. I have to go back and check 
that at that TT and he looked really strong. He didn’t look under any stress. I think Se takes a 
while to get going in the mountains. Uh he’s an high altitude boy. I think he comes from Boulder, 
Colorado, which I should have got a chance. Michael Woods is in that chasing group, too. 
And Perry Ponch, Valentine Perry Ponch for Sudal   Quickstep. uh 20 seconds behind them. We’ve got a 
chasing group of five riders. Jagat 13th overall, Eric Mass 15th overall. Simon Yates 22nd, Blasov 
and Heguita 1 minute 30 back to the Tatty group. That’s only 40 riders left in that group. So 40 
riders left in kind of the main GC group cuz don’t forget Johansson’s up the road. Tobias Johansson 
uh is hanging out right here. This dude here, eighth place overall at Tour to France, leading 
his way. He’s not sitting back going, “Well, I don’t want to lose my No, he’s going 
for it. Let’s go, buddy. Let’s go.” Um, okay. Trying to catch up. Pog is in the Pelon. 
Yeah, he’s in the he’s in the GC Pelon. It’s 40 riders at the moment, guys. Let’s just go 
to the map mode here. You can see it a little   bit better. Uh, they’re starting to get in. So, 
they’ve just went around that corner uh where they connected onto the old original climb and now 
they’re taking on that gigantic switchback. It’s huge. I’ve ridden it. Not in real life. Uh Nichi 
1981’s back. Okay. I’m trying to figure out Yes, he’s saying here. Okay. So he’s I think he’s 
saying remember Indrain who won the tour mostly by time trial and Renco needs a stronger team. Yeah. 
So when Indraane won five times in a row guys, five times in a row, uh Pog is going to have 
to stick around a long time to do that because right now he’s got three wins but only one in 
a row. Uh Yonas wedged in between there. So, just pointing that out, folks. Big Mig 
was the master of the time trial. Uh, never really went after the climbers. He 
just kept them close enough, but he would   just obliterate them, annihilate them in the 
time trial. He would take 10, 12, 15 minutes out of them on the time trial and then just hang 
close enough. He had a good team to keep them near the climbers. They never really destroyed 
them. Won the tour to France, 5 years running. very difficult to repeat that I think ever 
again. Uh different era. Uh yeah. So yeah, I believe yeah, Remco needs a way stronger team. 
Uh there’s some really talented writers. Take a look at Oscar only. Uh his team is really not that 
strong. Picnic postNL and that’s no disrespect to them. It’s just you guys know what I’m saying. I’m 
not saying these guys are crappy. I’m just saying   when you look at like Vizma’s team and when you 
look at UAE’s team, they’re designed around being a grand tour winning team. Uh, Picnic here is more 
for stage wins, breakaways, and they have Oscar only. Uh, let’s go to the official classification, 
guys. Official classification. Oscar only sitting fifth place overhaul. He is eight minutes behind, 
uh, but he’s fifth place overall. We’ve got two Red Bull riders in the top 10. We’ve got an Arca 
B&B hotels rider in the form of Kevin Vocalon in the top 10. Uh Johansson from Unix Millie, a Pro 
Series team, not a World Tour team. Felix Gaul here from Dathlon, very a lot smaller budget team. 
Uh so those are the those are the winners to me. Stage 14. Okay, I’ve got So Okay, here we go, 
guys. This is what I want. Going to give this a little refresh to make sure I’m looking at the 
right thing and we’re going to zoom in here and   I’m going to catch up with the chat again. 
Uh, okay. So, Martin, yeah, he’s starting on that gigant. The switchback seems to go forever. 
These two switchbacks here, they just go forever. I guess that’s one. You take the corner and 
you’re on the other half of it, I guess. Uh,   I did do this on Ruby. Speaking of which, I’m 
going to do something in the background here, guys. Let’s see if I can do this. We’re going 
to exit this. Where is my mouse point to? Uh, we’re going to come back here. There actually some 
There’s actually some dudes riding. Insanity. Uh, sorry guys. Just back here a little bit 
here now. Trying to get figured out. Wow, this is so cool. I love this. Yeah, 
this is great. Lenny Martinez. Yeah, this is really cool. I love this a 
lot, guys. Just messing around here in the   background. Uh guys, Lenny Martinez on the attack 
solo by himself. What we’re going to do right now, guys, you know, I do a lot of indoor cycling. Uh 
I love virtual cycling. I love all cycling. I love bike races. Uh but what I want to do here is we’re 
going to just going to turn that one down a bit. We’re going to turn this one on and hopefully 
it pops up right away. Uh, don’t do that to me. We’re going to turn that one back on so we see. I 
need to fix this one here. Right there. Okay, got it. Now, guys, we’re going to turn this off. Boom, 
folks. Hey, and what are we looking at here, guys? We’re looking at Bike Terra. We are on Bike Terra. 
This is a virtual cycling app. Uh, what are you looking at right now? Like, what are we looking 
at, Colin? This isn’t the Church of Friends. Yes,   it is. is this is the tur of to France. This is 
showing the location of Lenny Martinez as he rides up uh the call to term. Uh if you look in the 
bottom lefthand corner guys, this is that super super long switch back I was talking about. You 
can see the map in the corner there. I can zoom   in on it. I can zoom out. You can see the whole 
climb of the tormlay here. This is where someone yesterday came on and said, “Oh, this is fake.” 
Well, if you’d actually watch the video and stay   here for more than 30 seconds, you’d figure out 
what I was doing. Uh, guys, you want to ride the term? This is how you do it. If you can’t get to 
France, you’re not infinitely wealthy to jetet all around the world. Uh, this has all been generated 
in a browser on Terra. These guys always say hi to me. They always comment about the videos. Uh, so 
I just want to show this off a little bit. Lenny Martinez has a nice break here. Now, uh, I don’t 
think we’ll see anyone chasing here. I love the camera controls, but what I will do, we’re going 
to go to the Johansson group here. We’re going   to jump to Tobias Johansson, and you’ll see here 
their location on the uh, the climb. Martinez is just going through that switch back now. Um, I’m 
not really sure if everyone is represented in this group. It looks like they might be. Uh remember 
guys, this is just very trial first efforts for uh Bike Terra doing this. Going to jump back to 
Lenny Martinez. Where is he? So guys, he’s hit the tightest part of the switch back here. What I want 
to do now, guys, I don’t have a paid subscription. Uh with a paid subscription, you get better draw 
in. I’m looking back down here. I’m looking down to see if I can see them pop around the corner 
there. Uh because that’s roughly where they are   is just back. They’re on the switch back below 
him. So, I’ll come back to you Tobias Johansson again now. Uh, there’s the switch back above us. 
And actually, I see him. I can’t see him. Okay, I did see him. I think he’s up here somewhere right 
now. We’re going to bounce back to Lenny Martinez.   We’re going to take a look down. There they are. 
Guys, I did it. I did it for you. The chasing group is just on the switch back down below us. 
Guys, I know you want the world’s best graphics.   The simplicity of this allows you to run it on any 
browser. That is awesome. Seuss come in the group. Ben Oconor, guys. This is absolutely so cool to 
me. I love it. Okay, we’re going to turn that off, guys. Uh, sorry about that. I know some people 
don’t like when I do that, guys. I’m just trying   to show you more of the tour of France is what I’m 
doing here. Uh, just trying to give you another look at it. So, there you can see it. Uh, that 
switch back we’re talking about. I was looking down at chase group number two from the leader, 
Lenny Martinez. So, I hope you guys like that. If you guys think that’s cool, please let me know 
in the comments. Um, I think Bike Terra would love the support. Uh, Bike Terra, as far as I know, 
is two dudes. That’s it. Um, they’re obviously smart programmer dudes. Uh, very humble. They hang 
out. They talk to me. They answer my questions. Uh Don saying if Remco takes number three. 
Well, he’s not taking number three this year. Uh Remco being told off for holding on to the 
team car. Okay, I missed that. I’m catching   up. Brandon, you’d be a great broadcaster. 
Thank you, Brandon. That’s love hearing that, guys. I was sitting around yesterday going, “How 
can I get a broadcasting job? How do you get a   broadcasting job? Do you have to be an ex-pro 
cyclist who can’t broadcast?” There’s some of those ones out there. Uh just because you did the 
sport doesn’t mean you’re going to be good at it.   Uh, I see some that are very clunky. Lenny Martin 
riding by himself through the clouds, through the mist. I see the Irish flags out for Ben Healey. 
I think there’s some Basque flags flying, too. Lots of fans out here, guys. Uh, these fans. 
Yeah, looks cool. I see one guy just in bare just shorts, no t-shirt on. He must be freezing to 
death. Uh, thank you, Brandon. No bueno for Remco. Remco is out for real. Remco is gone, 
dude. Uh, Roselier Gabinelli, uh,   good day watching here in the Philippines. 
Lots of Philippine supporters here, guys. Absolutely love it. 350 people 
here. Let’s rock. It’s bang bang time,   folks. The tour is heating up. Uh, Pogy and 
UAE are in control. Anything can happen, though. He still needs to keep that jersey safe 
and sound for eight stages, nine days in total. Uh, Pogy has so much time on hand. I wonder what 
strategy he decides to use. Follow and give a   breakaway some time back or give or take every 
single stage you can. Leaning towards the latter uh 36 stage wins in two years. Yeah, it’s 
possible, dude. It’s possible. I think today is going to be more of just watch what Vizma 
does. You know, why not get a little bit of   a rest day in? Uh, if you can call riding the 
call to a rest day. Lenny jamming all sorts of stuff into his back here. He’s constantly fueling 
with the gels, smashing carbs into himself. Guys, I’ve never used a gel. I’m just not that person. 
I usually eat a donut. Super safaro. I bet he will regret this race, but also on his attitude. Yeah, 
possibly. Remco looks sick. Uh, yeah, Matteas. Uh, Skelus is out. Looks like Skeleos jumped into the 
broom wagon actually when I saw it. Remco jumped into his car. I just think I wonder what they 
do with Remco now. Does he have to sit in that   car for the whole day? Like what do they do with 
them? Could you imagine that? You’re the you’re the leader of the team. Um you had a crappy day 
yesterday. You came to the tour thinking you were going to win. You think you’re you are the best 
time travel in the world. I’ll still say that.   Uh you just cracked. You folded. You’re done. 
Does he sit in the car for five hours now? Like, how do they handle that? I’d be like, “Get me a 
helicopter. Get me out of here.” Uh, yeah. Remco’s out. Okay. Uh, try to catch up, guys. I I’ve And I 
don’t want to miss any of your your comments here, guys. Uh, you guys make my channel for me. Thank 
you so much. Okay, I’m going to back up to here. Oh. Skeleos abandons. Oh, I like this. I like 
Karen’s comment here. Butchery of the termite. Oh, I love that word. I love it. Nina Colin, you 
called it way ahead. Just as soon as I saw it, Nina, uh, I can’t read the future. Lenny 
Martinez is going to get 20 points over the uh, HC climb here, guys. And then we’re bombing down. 
It was a long downhill downhill through Le Mani, down through the valley system, and we start 
climbing again. Uh think the next one is is it a category two or a category one? It’s the 
Aspan. Uh yeah, just Remco seeing him what I saw early on today and his results from yesterday. 
Yeah, he was just fading that early. He he can’t survive. He’s going to have to just drop out, 
which he did. Poggy, the team pays you to win. Not to give it away. An alltime great. Yeah, he’s 
Yeah, he’s a he’s a pro. He’s very competitive. Martinus stands alone. He’s going 
over the top, guys. It’s so cloudy   out there. I bet you visibility is 20 
to 30 meters over the top of the tormal. Imagine doing this on non-paved roads. Uh yeah. Uh 
so Russia is great. Yeah, absolutely. Don, Russia is fantastic. Frank Scha here. What happened to 
Remco? Remco pulled out of the tour uh stepped into a team car and has vanished. Loving the polka 
dot socks that Lenny’s wearing. Miguel here. I am not a Reno fan, but it hurts to seem like that. 
He tried everything and the mo had quits and most quit Muna. Exactly, dude. There I don’t I love all 
the riders. Some I want to see do better. Some I want don’t want them to always be the best. Uh but 
I don’t like to see them like that. I mean, that would be so hard for him to quit the tour. I think 
that was decided yesterday after the time trial. He’s like, “I’m going to go. I’m going to try 
see how I feel. If I feel anything like today,   I’m out.” I mean, how do you like I mean, 
do you think he feels great about himself right now? Absolutely not. So, uh, Remco, get 
better from whatever you’re suffering with, and we will see you uh hopefully at 
the VA, other races before that, too. Current saying here that, uh, Pogy takes 
on one kilograms of simple sugars per day.   You might actually take that much 
in, guys. A lot of the riders here, it’s so cold. They’ve got riding jackets on. 
They’re probably getting very damp from the mist and they know bombing over the top. It’s going 
to get very cold. Fans are right in the way. Uh, one of the riders here, I think it’s Aeronman was 
kind of like waving a flag out of the way. Uh,   on the camera bike going down, it is pouring. 
Uh, this is probably just looks like moisture coming out of the clouds as we’re descending. 
The entire screen is full of uh water droplets. Uncle traveling Maddie altitude changes four times   today. Temperatures ups and down. Rain 
in the forecast. Rough stuff. Exactly. Robert saying you could put Ben Healey in 
a full gorilla suit and could still Yeah,   his style is so distinctive. Uh Jambron here doesn’t agree with Karin on the 
sugar. Uh sugar is the game changer. It’s the heribo gummy bears. Yes. Yes, dudes. So, you can 
see here, look at the gap open now. Lenny is gone, guys. He is gone. Uh, we’ll be going through 
uh Le Mani shortly. I think this is another ski resort here. There’s been many times in the 
tour where they’ve came up this direction up to   the Tormale from the east side through Lanji. Uh, 
I think they used to do that a lot in the 80s and the 90s. Michael Woods here looks like he’s trying 
to get away. Showing him by himself. He’s looking back here. Um, hard to see the dots here. Let’s 
have a quick look here. Okay, so there. Okay, so trying to figure this out here. Second group 
on the stage right now is 16 riders strong. Woods is in that group. So I think he just got it. Woods 
just got over the HC climb second, I believe. Uh, let’s take a look here. Lenny Martin is over the 
top. They’re not seeing anything about Woods yet.   I always want to see how close I am. 636. Two 
minutes to go. Lenny’s top. I think Michael Woods is second. Let’s see. We’re gonna look 
down here in a second, guys. And I’m gonna get   the win on this one. I’m gonna get the win on this 
one. Okay. So, I got guys, I’m going to have to close some uh of these down. Here’s our stage. So, 
everything’s not This looks a bit outdated here to me. This doesn’t seem right. Group two, Johansson. 
I’m pretty sure they’re over the top already. I know that’s a replay. Anyway, 
guys, let me get caught up. Uh Tony here saying, uh, Pogy for third win in a 
row. It’ll actually be a second win in a row. He has won two, 2020 and 2021. Then Yonas won for two 
years, 2022, 2023. Pogy won last year, 2024. But I think I know what you’re saying. Uh, so this 
would be two in a row again and it would be his fourth overall win. Yeah, Lenny looking really 
good there. He’s going to try to get as many points as he possibly can today. Uh, UAE still 
on the front here, guys. This still looks like Neil’s Plet to me. Riders are in jackets, so it’s 
getting a little bit harder to tell who they are. Yep. Come on, Lenny. Do it for France. 
Let’s go. Yeah, he’s going to be gone here, guys. Now it’s showing they’re over the 
top. Uh look at the gap Lenny has now. Uh he’s already passing through Lemoni. Jackets’s 
going on for Movar Riders over the top. Little bit delayed there. I’m going to catch back 
here, guys. He’s got a 1 minute 48 second   lead over them right now with 89 kilometers 
remaining. He’s bombing downhill. 11% down, guys. then he’s going to fly up the call to 
Aspen. Only five points available at the top. He is in the polka dot jersey for real now. Uh 
he was borrowing it from Tatty for today. Let me get caught up. Uh Tony saying you know why is 
it when someone’s winning do you want to dispute it? Where’s the innocent to prove him guilty? I 
agree with that. Bashock morning inside Cycling   World Crew. Good stage so far. Poor Reno’s 
done. Yep, he’s out. Good sea bash shock here. Uh Robert saying indiraa had some forgettable 
world champions. Not the best years for cycling   in his opinion. This looks like a treacherous 
descent here guys. That is not Lenny going downhill. It’s someone else. Uh really going 
wide on the corners. It’s very very damp up   here. Actually that is Lenny. Hard to tell. He’s 
got a little gilele on like a vest to keep his uh upper torso warm. Super sketchy downhill here. Uh 
yeah, no more than 30 to 40 meters visibility that I can see. He might be able to see a bit more. And 
uh it’s wet and it’s damp and he’s going down the side of a mountain. One mistake here, your tour 
could be over. One mistake. One wrong line over that white paint and you could be down real fast. 
Uh Anna’s in the mix. Good morning, Colin. Anna here. Just walked into watching Remco Abandonment 
Unrushed. The TDF, the tour to France is a cruel race. Just to finish all 21 stages of win. 
Absolutely. Just to finish it. Uh Alma can. Yes, I love it. Elma, let us know where you’re from. 
Jonathan Vandenberg, watching it like this. That is great. We can see the stats and everything much 
better than just the map. Uh let’s watch more,   please. So, dude, you want to see more stats 
like this what I’m we’re seeing now. Or are you talking about that little video I showed or 
sorry, the bike terror stuff? Not really sure   what you’re talking about there, but dude, 
just let me know what you guys want. Yeah, they’re showing replays here of Lenny almost going 
off the road. Almost going off the road. Uh guys, what happens if the Pelaton pushes? Uh you got 
all those riders bunched together. So, we’ve got   Lenny by himself. I kind of the day you want to 
ride by yourself on these conditions. Then we got Johansson’s group coming at 16. Uh the GC group is 
41 riders. a lot more riders in a small space. Uh they might touch wheels. Who knows? Anything 
can happen, guys. It’s the tour to France.   You need to stay upright and healthy the whole 
time. Some of these guys are going so gingerly around the corners. Uh who is this here? 206 for 
Israel. Premier Techch does not like this descent. Uh, I don’t think Yonas is going to like this 
descent either. After surviving that brutal crash or making a comeback, the idea of crashing. 
Once you get it in your brain that I might crash, you’re going to hesitate. Uh, because only you 
know how bad the crash can be. There’s riders here who have never suffered something like that. Uh, 
some riders are just lucky. And we’ve got Okay, so that was Lenko, Alexi Lenenko. Uh, he had a 
flat going down the hill, so that’s why he was   slowing down so bad there. Uh, sorry guys, I got 
that stupid thing open on my screen again. Uh, so Jonathan was asking, “Watching it this way 
is great.” Uh, not sure if he’s talking about just the screen or bike terra. Uh, Neil saying 
it looked decent enough. I think he might be talking about bike terra. Okay, so Nina saying, 
“Love to see a visualization on the ride.” Yeah,   guys, it’s not meant to be mindblowing graphics. 
Uh they keep their platform simple for a reason guys. I ride all the platforms. I ride Ruby, I 
ride Zift. Uh I ride By Terra, not so much. But Bike Terra is the only one that allows me to do 
that. You can’t do it on the other ones. So that’s   why I’m using By Terra and I like those guys a 
lot. Uh Robert’s saying, “These apps would be cooler if they were sending you some compensation 
for your efforts.” Yes, dude. It would be. Uh, but it’s a great tool. I like it. So, Lenny did get 20 
points over the top. Michael Woods 15th. Uh, Sept Cous got was sixth over the top. Yeah, cuz there 
was a big bunch of riders coming. Michael Woods, Israel Premier Tech, the Canadian, jumped away 
from that group of 16 to get the 15 points solo   and then everyone else kind of streamed in. Action 
at the front, folks. Action at the front. I mean, this guy here, Tobias Johansson, eighth place 
overall. Carlos Rodriguez, 12th place overall. Jordan Jagat, uh, Ben O Connor, Seus is out 
there for a day, too. Guys, I think I’m gonna catch up here. I’m gonna grab a coffee. I like 
the option to use Bera. It’s interesting and true   to the actual moment in time. Keep Yeah, dude. I 
don’t want to bombard you guys with just that. Uh, again, I’m not here to do a commercial for Bera. 
It’s just something that I use and I know. Uh,   my channel started out with me reviewing cycling 
applications and Berra is kind of the newest one. Uh, it does things differently than other ones, 
but I I like it. Thomas Swift here is saying, “Terra looks great.” Yeah, I know. Robert 
polka dot sauce. A very strong look. Very strong look. Uh, uh, we got some guy here. 
Unai Gomez bike ter is great. More of that, please. Yeah, guys, when I can see them riding 
on the switchbacks, the TV crews aren’t doing   that. They’re not showing you that. Uh, I’m like, 
“Show me where that is.” A lot of people say that uh the tour the tour director is not that 
great. Uh, they’re showing weird things. I get to show you what I want to show you 
based on the groups. And remember to guys,   uh, I do want to just give the uh, the caveat 
defend. I don’t need to defend terror, but just I just want to say this is all very trial for them. 
This is like the second day they’ve done it. We   couldn’t do the individual time trial. They didn’t 
get the data for that. Uh, so what you’re seeing out there, if you see different riders kind of, 
there’s going to be some glitchy stuff at first.   It’s all brand new. So, we will be doing some more 
of that bike terror stuff. Go Tatty. Do do your daily task to smoke all the petulent bees. Corty’s 
back. Yes, dude. This guy was here yesterday. Uh, he wants Vizma burnt to the ground. Uh, Pogy and 
her Haribo gummy bears. Modern guys have jackets, some grabbing cardboard signs to put over their 
chests. old days said guys handing out newspapers.   Yeah, they just jam newspapers down the front of 
their uh jerseys. Uh upgrade your mind up to 40. Come on, Woodsy. Yeah, dude. He took second place 
over the top of the HC there. Nice to have you on   board. Upgrade your mind after 40. Dude, I need a 
serious upgrade after 56. That’s what I need. Uh things are going to be changing all time. Take a 
look, guys. Uh Lenny still out front. Brave rider   here. He’s almost gone off the road a couple times 
already. We haven’t even climbed half the distance yet today, folks. Uh 1 minute 9 seconds back. 
Sepus and Paranch. This was a group of 16. Uh I want to see how far back. 23 seconds back. 
We’ve got the other riders in that that big group. So Ben Oconor, sorry, Sept Cous and Perry 
Ponch pushing away. I think they’re chasing after Lenny right now. A further two minutes and 19 
seconds back to the GC group of 41 riders. All of them are there. All the the remainders of the 
top 10 that aren’t there. Uh cuz Tobias Johansson is out front. Going to slip back even more folks. 
Lutenko riding there. The green jersey group 62 riders over a third of the entire pelaton of the 
tour to Francis here is uh almost 14 minutes back. Uh have they finished? They are just hitting 
the top now, guys. So they’re just getting to this is the group of 62 riders. This is the M 
Machu Vanderpool group. Uh Jonathan Milan and all the other riders of the tour, 62 of them 
are just getting to the top of the call to   tour. Uh the beast, the granddaddy of the tour to 
France, used more times than any other climb. Uh, Alfalipe stuffs a cardboard down his 
jersey and then looks at the camera,   gives a hearty thumbs up. Yeah, I’ve 
always liked Alfa Phippe. He’s quite the character. He’s got the personality out there. Uh, Ivard, I think Ramco is suffering quite a 
while since the tour started. Yeah, guys, you   never know how these guys going. They could set 
this up, this is going to be my big race of the year, and then you get sick before the tour. Then 
what do you do? You have to fake it. You have to   try to fight through it and let other people know. 
Jimboy the great I’m rooting on you is Pogy again on this stage. Yep, we got Jim boy here. He’s 
huge Pogy supporter. Cortasi’s back. Uh Jonathan Van Vanderber. Okay, so you do like the big tear. 
Okay, dude. Yeah, I’ll use I’m just going to use   it sparingly here. I can look at the map here and 
see where those cool switchbacks are. And I do it a lot when I do my commentary on those races. Uh, 
and I’m just doing commentary dudes for like 10, 15, 20 people. Some of the big races I’ve 
done have had like 200 people in them. Uh, but Bike Terror’s ability to let me look back down 
the switchbacks. You don’t see that on TV. You never see it. You can’t. Uh, okay. Elma Ku here is 
watching from the Texas GF Coast area. Dude, Elma, uh, everyone’s a dude here, remember 
guys? Ladies and men alike. Uh, so Elma, if you’re a lady, you’re a dude, too. Uh, I 
just rode GF Coast area. There’s a ride on Ruby, another platform I ride. That place is deadly 
flat. Uh, it was a 90k route with, I think, 98 m of climbing. So, but really good for 
just, you know, zone 2, zone 3 efforts. Uh, Cuba Libri, I bet 1,000 euros for Benny Vitron 
on Tripolite. Dude, I think he just lost €1,000. Uh, crashing while already hurt will make it 
hurt more. Tony C’s in the mix now. Hey Tony, good to see you. Tony, I love your comments. 
Uh, Tony messages me on my YouTube channel here. Love commenting with you, Tony. Scary riding the 
Pelaton. Real scary riding pelon in rain and fog. Unbelievably scary riding in the Pelon in rain, 
fog, and downhill. No, thank you. Exactly. Uh, yeah. Love how many people I need. Benny needs 
to get a win. Benny needs to get a win. Uh, he probably is the most popular guy. Don’t pop 
believing. Yeah, I was like, I like that app. Cool to see. Yeah, guys. So, if you’re sitting 
around at home and you love watching cycling and you don’t really have a workout regimen, maybe 
your workout regimen is just lifting heavy stuff   in the yard, uh, maybe for some of you it’s doing 
a lot of gardening, uh, a lot of house work. It’s pretty easy to get involved and do some of these 
same roads as these cyclists do. And I’ll tell you   something right here now, guys. I’m 56. I rode the 
term just back in December. Full simulation. Yeah, I know it’s not as hard. It’s not. I don’t have 
wind in my face. I don’t have road resistance. Uh but I feel the exact same turns. I feel the 
exact same gradients. Uh and there’ll always be somewhere. Yeah, but dude, it’s not as hard. 
Dude, I can’t get there. I can’t get to the   term. I can ride the term. I guarantee you right 
now I should do it one day. H probably R-rated. Uh I could hit a timer. I could be riding the 
term in about 3 minutes. All my cycling gear is up in this corner over here in the 10 x 10 
cube of perspiration and motivation. Guys, that’s what we do down here. Lenny Martinez riding 
hard at the front, guys. Uh he’s hit the bottom of the descent right now. Solo. love solo rides, too. 
53 seconds back, we got Septus and Perry Ponch, Balentine, Perry Ponch, uh the Johansson group of 
it’s 12 riders on. So, there’s riders coming and going. They’re only 20 seconds back. Tatty group, 
I think the Tatty group is falling further back. They’re taking less chances on the descent. And 
the hard thing is like I keep telling myself, well, if I was eighth, I’d go for it. But what 
if you crash? Then all of a sudden you’re 20th and you’re hurt and maybe you’re dropping out. 
Uh so someone was saying they they like the bera app. So that was don’t pop believing. 
Harris here. Harris is a new guy. Harris, where you from, dude? Harris MD Tatty will win. 
He will win the tour to France. Might win today. We’re not sure yet. Uh hoping no accidents and 
everyone stay safe. Me too. Julius Caesar back. He’s saying, “Oh, for Y I think he’s saying for 
Yonas here, sometimes peace at home is greater   than the glory, especially when you already have 
achieved the glory.” Dude, that’s a good comment. And maybe he wants to install more kitchen floors. 
That’s my little joke there. Uh, Cuba Libra is saying, “You Benny’s better.” Not today. He’s not. 
Uh, yes, Anna from the Niagara region. Happy Steve Bower, Israel Premier Techch sports director. 
Yeah, legend of Canadian cycling. Steve Bower did have the yellow jersey a couple of occasions. 
Wrote for Lavy Claire. Uh also rode for Motorola just Oh, Anna. The other Anna. Hi everyone. 
Just walked in. Gosh, is he’s out. Uh Anna, I saw early on in the stage at 
the very start of the turmoil,   maybe a couple of kilometers into the 19 km 
granddaddy of the tour to France, uh Remco was already flagging by the back by himself. Sudal 
didn’t like rush riders back to him. Eventually, Ankhorn went back to him and rode with him. 
He was in a group of about five or six. Uh he pulled over to the right and I’m like, 
he’s done. He rode on the right for a lot,   talked to the team car. Another group of 20 riders 
blew past him. He stepped out shortly thereafter. Uh, okay. Gonna I got I’m just trying to 
catch up, guys. Oo, don’t pop even. I have 22 on Tobias at 110 to1 to win the stage. Let’s 
get it, dude. Absolutely. Let’s get it. Uh, 22. What? What are you like 22 bucks? Dude, I don’t 
even know where you’re betting. I didn’t even   know there’s odds for him to win today’s stage. 
I think that’s one of the few things I would do. sports betting on is cycling. I used to do it on 
football way back when when I’d waste my Sundays   away. Tika Nichols is back. Bonjour, guys. Hope 
you’re all doing well. Yes, we are. Tika, hope you’re well as well. I hate saying the same word 
over and over uh in a different context. Riding in a Pelaton takes a lot of trust of the folks 
around you to ride properly. Very scary. Yeah,   exactly. I know when Woods first came along, 
all the riders did not like riding near him. They said he was like scary to ride in 
there because he came into cycling so late. Uh Jim Boyd the great was it true Remco? 
Absolutely true. 100% confirmed dude. He’s   riding in in a car somewhere. I’m wondering does 
he sit in the car for the rest of the day? Could you imagine that? Like I have no idea. Like let’s 
say Tatty for some unfortunate reason and had to pull out. Would he sit in the back of the team car 
all day? Or would there be a private helicopter land somewhere in a field? he jump into it and 
take off. That’s what I think would happen. Um, Jonathan Vandenberg, how do you feel the same 
gradients when you do online riding? Is there something on your bike that Yes, dude? 
There is. So, on the back of the bike,   guys, I got to show you this one day. My bike’s 
over here. Is my bike on camera? Uh, my bike is just on camera here, guys. There’s the handlebars 
of my bike. That’s the right handlebar. Actually,   you can see the left one right now. Uh, and I 
face that way when I ride my bike. Obviously, I’ve got a huge fan up here. I just move my stuff 
over and I ride there. You feel all the gradients. Uh, if you’re riding a 10% gradient, you feel 
it as long as your trainer uh has the ability to to simulate that gradient. So, they either 
have like a big flywheel on the back. Some are   all magnets now on the back. Uh, they’re not the 
junko ones of the 80s where it was just like a fan uh scooping air. It’s all controllable now. So 
on the flats, you don’t feel anything. Uh on the uphills, you feel it. On the downhills, some 
smart trainers will give you like a like a gravity boost. It’ll keep it makes it harder to pedal. 
You’re running out of speed. You You’re running out of gears uh as your bike’s accelerating 
way underneath you as it would. Uh so yeah, the the simulation is really good. Now, 
yes, again, it’s not the same as outside,   but it gives you a good idea as to what it’s going 
to feel like. There’s lots of videos online on too on YouTube. Uh I think Eye Gardener, if you don’t 
know her, she’s probably the best female climbing cyclist in the world. She has more Straa segments 
than any other woman out there. She has over 10,000 of them. Incredible beast of a cyclist. 
Uh I think she has a video where she does the alduz inside and she does the aldu outside. It’s 
like within a minute or maybe a minute and a half. Uh Tony C, I like to do all the tour to France 
routes, but I do as a tomb director in a car. Yeah, me too. I just ride along in the car, scream 
at people. Come on, Yonas. Savage Pro. Okay, we haven’t seen this dude for a while. Savage Pro 
is from St. Lucia. Uh Remco learned the hard way. This is the real This is not the Olympics. Great 
rider though. Uh, I probably can swear on this channel, guys. I just usually don’t swear. 
Actually, I do swear a lot. I’m just going   to be honest with you right now. I’m getting very 
quiet here. I need to get loud again, folks. Uh, wow. Don’t pop even. Thanks. Yeah, 22 to win. 
2,700 bucks. Holy crap, dude. Uh, Julius Caesar watching uh from VPN listening to your channel. 
Great perspectives on, dude. Thank you so much. Keep coming back. guys. I’m hoping everyone Oh, 
I’m getting some camera footage here from the peak deidi up above the calderm. There’s more routes 
to go up there. They’re not paved, but you can ride your bike most of the way if you’re a good 
cyclist. Uh say you’re on a mountain bike probably   or a really really hard gravel bike. You can get 
your way up there and you can actually walk around the observatory. I think it’s actually designated 
as a uh what do they call it? Like a dark space in France. Uh very little light up there. uh so they 
can uh do all their astronomy stuff. Talking about astronomers, how about that CEO guy? I don’t know 
what company’s in charge of, but what a doofus.   Uh on live TV at a concert. Uh busted dude. I 
have no sympathy for that guy. What a loser. Um okay, catching up, guys. Yeah, Remco is 
abandoned. Savage Pro. Don’t pop believing,   dude. I hope you win some money, man. cheering 
for you. I will be cheering for you. So, he needs to win. Okay. Brandon the uh Teresa 
difference between flat time trial and mountain. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Oh, there is a difference between 
I thought you were talking to someone here. Oh, huge dude. I didn’t know how they performed 
because the mountain time trial we saw Lenny   Martinez do quite well. Pure climber, the 
Grimpur. Uh he’s leading today’s stage. Guys, let’s just jump back to the map for a second here. 
Uh just so I can get a perspective of where we’re   at. We’re on the ascent here. The next climb. 
Oh, guys, looks like we got some really juicy switchbacks right here. Guess what’s coming on 
then? By terra is coming back, guys. Uh so we can give you a perspective of the chasing groups. 
Follow the race here. Just stick here for now. I’m going to catch up, guys. I’m going to run for 
a coffee. Probably uh smash a Pop-Tart into my   face. If you know what those are. Yeah, I’m about 
14 years old. dietary. Uh, I want to think Charlie Regal would send a nice car for Remco. Tell him he 
can sit the crappies car or hop in and we’ll get you back to the hotel. Uh, Derek Martin here, 
new guy. Hey, Derek. Welcome aboard, bro. Uh, dude, I can’t understand. Uh, it might be typing 
how your tourist action press ghost killer. I have no idea what you’re saying, dude. But, uh, welcome 
to the channel. Maybe you’re just typing weird. Okay. Um, how much longer until the stage 
is complete? I have to get some sleep, unfortunately. Dude, I got up at like4 to 3 in 
the morning. Uh, I think the stage is probably   still another, if I just look at this quick, 
I’m going to say it’s another 3 hours. So, maybe you need to have a little uh catch 
some uh shut eyee and come on back. Come on,   Yonas. Exactly. Don wonder if he’s hearing 
that. UAE Neils Polllet sitting on the front guys. Tim Wellins is there too. Tatty looks 
like he’s in about fourth place back. Uh so they’re just taking it easy guys. The gap 
is only 222 to the Johansson group. Uh yeah, and then we’ve got the Sept Cous group. Great to 
see Sep looking good. He did look good yesterday. Uh I do remember a lot of comments floating around 
online. Uh where’s Cous? What’s wrong with Cous? This is Cous now. This is what he does. Get to the 
high mountains and uh Derek Martin here again. Um, okay guys, sorry. I need to keep this chat better 
for myself. Uh, something about if he loses, I will swallow with your mama. Okay, dude. 
Derek, I don’t know what you’re saying,   man. Uh, upgrade your mind up 40. Remco, is it 
illness or physical or did he find his limited as a competitive character? Will be interesting 
to see next year. Uh, I think we’re going to see   Remco back in full force. I’m sure he’ll be at 
the VA. That is for him just over a month away. Can he retool for then? Uh, he’s definitely 
going to be at the World Championships. Uh,   he’s got a road race to take on and he has a time 
trial to take on. But yeah, maybe he’s not Well, he’s done the Valta. Uh, maybe the tour to 
France is just not where he wants to be. Yeah, Jonathan Vanberg, that CEO coalplay 
hope bust was so cringe. Yeah, he sends out   an apology letter. I was just out to enjoy this 
is me paraphrasing because I didn’t read it all because I just it just sickens me when I see 
it. I I was just out to enjoy the happiness   of a nice night with music and whatever. 
Yeah, as you’re cheating on your wife, dude, you’re scum. There’s nothing you can say to make 
me have any sympathy for you. And the fact that you released that letter to the world makes it 
look just shows how much of a scumbag you are. Case closed, bro. I’m so glad you got busted. Uh 
Lenny Marters has high aspirations. Yes, he does. Julius second place in the tour could 
be a yellow jersey when Okay. Yeah,   everyone still thinks there’s 
doping going on. Uh, dude, we’ll never know. We won’t know for now. 
Uh, Dererick saying no drugs now. Sober. Uh, Tony talking to Jonathan Mandenberg. If the 
CEO was just cool about it, he would never. Yeah, he probably shouldn’t have said a thing. He 
probably shouldn’t have said a thing. Uh,   okay. New We have Kim here. Kim Szo. No one 
could catch up with Pogy now. Not now. Yeah, Pogy’s got such a huge lead at the tour. Again, 
I said to a couple of friends yesterday, it’s his tour to lose now. He has to make such an epic 
mistake to lose it now. He just has to stay safe, uh, comfortable, not get sick. I’m noticing on his 
bandages right now. Kind of cool, guys. Uh, the bandages he has down his left arm, it’s all white, 
obviously, right in the middle, kind of on his forearm here, he has the world champion stripes 
right there. Kind of cool to see that. Vizma boys all wrapped up in their jerseys. Guys, it doesn’t 
look very nice out there. They’re probably soaked   to the bone right now. Arca riding right behind 
Vizma. Then we got the Bora boys. Picnics’s right there. Picnic actually up at the front here. Three 
riders uh with Oscar that there goes Ben Healey guy by like you said, uh someone said earlier, you 
could put him in a gorilla suit and you’d know Ben even when he’s not climbing. He’s very distinctive 
on the bike. Uh okay. So, Kim, welcome aboard. Jimbo is asking was he Remco not feeling well 
prior to the stage or did he just realize he’s   not at the level of Pogy Migo that he can’t beat 
these monsters on the climbs? Yeah, dude. I think his performance yesterday was the first crack and 
it was a like it was like a San Andreas type fault crack. Uh he got caught by Yonas Vingo by two 
minutes. So he gave up two minutes to Yonas, got caught and passed uh within the last 100 meters 
of a time trial that I think a lot of people would have said he was the favorite to win. I would 
have uh others would say Pogy. Some might have said Yonas. Uh but he got basically crushed at the 
very end of that time trial. So it all fell apart yesterday. I’m sure at team meetings last night, 
it’s just like guys, I don’t know. I think he’s departure today was all planned out. I’m going to 
start and then I’m going to pull out. That’s just my thoughts. Anna is saying, “Yeah, he did have 
a bad crash recently.” So, it is connected. Uh, someone told me yesterday he didn’t ride at 
all. I think it was in December, January. Like,   no training whatsoever. Uh, he hasn’t had a lucky 
career. Okay. So, where is Lenny now? Lenny is climbing the Aspan. So, that’s just footage 
from the past there. We’re going to get back   to the live tracking here. Oo, those switchbacks 
are coming up. Switchbacks are coming up, guys. Uh here’s lining. Oh, he’s actually in them now, 
guys. I’m going to do this for you here right now.   Bear with me again. We’re just going to do this 
quickly here. Uh we’re going to turn this one off. And I find sometimes it needs a quick reset. I 
have to exit and jump back in. So, I just spectate it back again. And hopefully we’re on Lenny. 
It’s just loading in, guys. Leading group, Lenny Martinez. Boom. It’s loading in now. Just give it 
a second here, guys. This is a climb we’re taking on. Again, this is not a onetoone representation 
of the stuff on the sides of the road. It’s a rough approximation based on the maps, but the 
gradient and stuff will all be the same. So, here’s Lenny Martinez climbing through uh these 
switchbacks now. Oh, and what I do is I zoom out, guys. This will give you a good perspective of 
the switchbacks. So, these corners will all be   the same as what you’re seeing in the bottom right 
hand corner, the map itself. Uh, he has a good lead. We’re not even going to see the guys behind 
him for a while, I don’t think. I’m going to jump   to the seus group. There’s just two of them there. 
Let’s go to SE. Two riders there, guys. There’s actually, and there is two riders in that group. 
Uh, so obviously here it’s just showing uh they’re starting the switchbacks. Take a look at the map 
right now. You can see there’s buildings there.   There’s buildings represented on the side of the 
road here. Is it exact? No, it’s not exact. It doesn’t need to be. It’s just giving you what’s 
there. I think that’s something that might get   tweaked along the way. Maybe they’ll start putting 
more details in. We’ll go back to Lenny Martinez now. Riding through that series of switchbacks. 
Really, really tight switchbacks here. Actually, just to give you guys a quick look at where they 
are, guys. That’s real coverage of them out there. That’s like live coverage coming at you. Uh, 
again, Bike Terra, let me know. You guys tell me what you think about Bike Terra in the chat here, 
please. I’d love for them to see the comments. Um, Savage Pro is talking about uh some text 
evidences coming up from the past with Team   Sky. Interesting. Uh, okay. So, we have looks like 
Cesily, that’s how I think you’d say it. Mapa 3 p.m. now in South Africa. enjoying the commentary. 
Great to have you here. It is currently 7:07 in the morning for me. I’ve been up since4 to 3. My 
alarm was set for 3:05. Coffee on. And Canadian flags on the side of the roads. Let’s go, dudes. 
Cold coffee here. Getting ready for another one.   Um, I have to go for dinner tonight, too. And Joey 
is so far behind. Not far behind. She is so behind what I’m doing that uh I think we’re coming 
home tonight. We’re not staying out because   we had another stage through tomorrow, guys. 
Uh let’s get back to the race details here. So, Lenny has his gap whittleled down to 49 
seconds. We saw Seep Cous and Valentine Perry Ponch on screen on Berra. Guys, if you 
like Berra and you guys want to do me a favor, give a special shout out to Bera here. Uh is 
it something you would use? Uh Jonathan here, I was surprised that Remco never even made the 
first big climb. Kind of strange for such a strong   leader. Yeah, I think he was done yesterday and 
again he told the team, “Yeah, guys, I’m gonna ride a bit as far as I can tomorrow. If I feel 
spectacular and I have a miraculous comeback,   I’ll keep going, but I’m probably going to step 
away.” Uh, am I crazy to think that at 26-year-old Matteo Jorgensson could be at least could at least 
be on the GC podium in the next couple years? Uh,   I’d like to think so. Uh, he’s had one really bad 
day so far and lost a bunch of times. So, I think he went from fifth to 10th overall. He’s still 
sitting 10th on GC at the Tour to France. So, I think that’s pretty decent. Uh, Don saying, “Cool 
stuff. The rendering is neat.” Yeah, guys, all browser based. Now, there’s other platforms where 
things will be will have so much more detail. Uh, but those ones are what I would call closed 
world. You do a big install to your PC. UAE still driving the front, guys, and that GC Pelaton. 
So everything’s still sitting static there. Um,   so you do a big install to your PC, your Apple TV, 
or even a phone. Uh, and it’s all sitting on that device. Uh, Bike Terra is rendering all that stuff 
live on your browser. So way lower requirements. Uh, keeping it simpler looking allows way 
more things you can do with the platform. You can create any road you want. Uh, the other 
platforms, you’re kind of in a closed world. You can go anywhere you want in them but only on 
their roads that you can’t just create a new I   could create a 100 new routes today if I wanted 
on bike terra. Um okay moving on. Na 191. Yep. Jorgensson have proposition for Vizma to be 
a leader this year at the Jira but he refused   saying he was not strong enough and Yates became 
the leader. Okay. I to me Jorgensson’s the leader going forward. I think Yonas something is going 
to come out in the next little while. Uh maybe they’ll just sever the contract. Uh maybe he’ll 
go somewhere else. Maybe he’ll be installing more uh laminate flooring at home. Possibly. Maybe he’s 
going to open a contracting company and do house renovations. We’re not sure yet. Would would 
you think there would be some strict protocols   for disposing of gels protect teen nutrition 
streaks? Maybe not. Uh I think I’m thinking the gels are all just probably like brand name gels 
they would buy. I think the drinks maybe uh but I think at this level too I bet you most of them 
are using virtually the same stuff like probably their their carb drinks are probably the same. 
They’re probably over- the-counter stuff that   any of us can buy. That’s just my guess. Uh Karin 
here. I love bike terra. Karin, do you ride bike terra or have you just saw for the first time? Uh 
n but he’s got a new contract with Vizma for four years I remember. So is that Matteo you’re talking 
about? I did see something where Yonas said he   goes, “I don’t even know when my Vizma contract 
ends.” So maybe he was just playing dumb. I don’t know. Uh Kim here, Kim Sza was watching from the 
Philippines. 9:08 at night. Kim Kim, I’m hoping I still have my eyes open at 9:08 tonight. Uh waking 
up extra early and preparing for this every day is a huge task every day, guys. I need that coffee. 
I’m dying. Uh upgrade your mind at 40. Love the bike terra add-on, guys. Yeah, guys, if you’ve 
seen it, let the dudes know. Let the dudes know. Uh, I barely know them. Just saying. I barely know 
them. Uh, but they’re the two dudes that jump into my channel, say, and they’ve answered all my 
questions. Other other platforms I use, I don’t   hear anything from them. So, it’s give and take, 
right? You talk to me, I talk to you. It’s all good. So, uh, yeah, right here, upgrade your mind 
40. Love the bike tear add-on. Great added value. Uh Robbie or Tony not sure he would have thought 
that before this tour but he does now. Belief is everything. Bike terror Holly saying bike ter is 
cool. Hey Holly good to see back. Matteo is still sitting 10th while working for his team leader who 
is three years older than him. So wishing him well near future. Uh yeah that’s from Tony here. 
Yeah I Matteo is going to be leading the team next year. Yeah the laminate flooring jokes. 
Yeah I thought I’d just throw them in there. Guys, I joke about everything. I I love 
making jokes about myself. Joey Jojo will say, “Why do you always do that?” Why? I don’t care. I 
don’t care. Sticks and stones may break my bones,   but names will never hurt me. Have fun with 
life. Uh Tony C replaying Remco stopping. Not a happy cam with the camera crew. Oh yeah, he 
was waving them on. Uh Karin here, I saw bike terror for the first time, but I love it already. 
John Chad’s in the mixer. Hey, John. SR71 over in   Ruby. Good to have you back, John. John, are 
you working today? Are you at the office? Are you at the dealership? We’re going for five today, 
John. We need five. I want five raptor sold today, John. That would be a huge day, wouldn’t it? Uh, 
Savage Pro from St. Lucia. If Pogy is the goat, Vingo is the chef to cook him a curry. Yonas 
needs more time. Yeah, that’s a good one, dude. That’s a good one. Uh, time is in cooking 
spices, guys. Not as in time, but you get it. Uh Anna is saying, “Do you think doping is a must 
to make it big in the tour?” Anna, I don’t know   what’s going on these days. Uh 100% in the past, 
100%. The powers of EPO are still better than all of the modern training technology and all of the 
improvements they’ve made. That is evident. Um, so in 1996, there’s times that are faster than what 
Tatty wrote up the Oticcom and an all-out effort. That’s how powerful those drugs were back then. 
So all I’m trying to say here is I’m not saying   anyone’s doping now. I don’t know. I’m just saying 
if you were a rider back in 1994 like 1990 through 19 through 2000 whatever it was and they were like 
dude you could be a tour to France domestique you can ride with Lance Armstrong you can ride with 
Yosi Balocki on Olri but the only way you can keep up is by taking this little injection you 
you can’t keep up it’s impossible so they all took the injection they had to uh so back then 
it was definitely a what’s going on these days is different. Uh but I don’t know. I don’t know, 
guys. Um good day. What time is stage 14’s already off, dude? We’ve been going since 4:00 a.m. We’ve 
been here, dude, for 3 hours and 15 minutes. I am in the pipe. 5×5, bros. Uh UAE is killing it. Yep, 
they’re sitting on the front. Let’s have a quick look back here. Uh, Sepkous Group. Lenny is over 
the top. No, he’s just getting to the top now. So, here’s Lenny just getting to the top. Uh, Sept 
Cous and Perry Ponch are just coming out of those switchbacks, guys. I am going to show you some 
switchbacks on the side. I will be doing the   bike terror thing again. Group three is it says 
14 riders now. Someone’s got back on cuz it was 13 before and they are 1 minute 32 seconds it 
said ahead of the uh the GC group down to 38 riders. Let’s have a look at them here. Pogy, 
Yonas, Lipoitz only, Vocalon, Primos, Felix G, Jorgensson, Ben Healey. Basically the rest of the 
top 10 guys. Let’s point this guy out here. Tobias Johansson. Eighth overall the tour to France. uh 
in the second group on the road. Not afraid to go out front. I love that. Absolutely love that. 
Uh Jula 14:30 longest time difference went from a breakaway. We need more breakaways. Okay, perfect 
from the front to the back. Uh Tony, dude, thank you so much. Tony Cabaru calling like the way 
you speak. It’s soothing. Thank you, man. Dude, appreciate it. Appreciate it. Um Olegodard here. 
Uh, Yonas is clear of Jorgensson in the mountains. So, let’s have a look at that there. So, we got 
this group here. So, here’s the Yonas group. Do we see Matteo in this group here? Matteo is in the 
group. He’s in the group of 38 riders back here. Uh, let’s just see what happens 
here. John Chait always working, sitting at my desk. Five Raptors, 
John. Let’s do it. Five Raptors.   Uh Karin saying Lenny is the hero 
today. So far he’s the hero of the day. Yeah. Robertson if someone wants to talk to 
open we should really agree what that means   today. Exactly. If you Ollie Gdard here over from 
Zift TPN guy TNP guy. Sorry about that. Ollie uh if Jorgensson was a ruthless GC worthy guy he 
would have took his chance last year when Yonas wasn’t great last year. I’m hoping Matteo can 
do something. I’d really like to see uh Vizma get more aggressive. That’s the only way they 
can get time back on Tatty. They have to take   time back. They do have Sept Cousoose up the 
road. Even as just a couple days ago, I heard people online kind of pooing Sepoose. Where is 
he? He’s terrible. He’s not good. He’s looking pretty good right now. Uh so he’s set up up front 
there. Guys, I’m going to once I grab this coffee, I’m going to catch up completely here. I’m 
going to run and grab the coffee. Ivard Onway,   uh, Owway, have you seen Icarus? Dude, that’s 
a great show on Netflix. Icarus is a fantastic show. Doping extreme. Uh, really good cyclist who 
rode the H route. It’s like the ultimate cycling test of climbs. Uh, there’s all sorts of them all 
over the world. Now, the guy could never get to the top. And so, he honestly, he was like a film 
documentarian. He said, “I’m going to try doping.” And that took him into such a twisted world. I 
need to watch that again. Good point, Devart. Tony C. I think you could secure all these riders 
on an island with no drugs of any kind for months and they would still smoke all of us in 100. Oh, 
absolutely. Tony, when Lance went to Europe, he was so slow. He was shocked. Yes. He realized if 
he didn’t juice, he won’t win anything. Yes. So, I can’t blame him because of his cancer was 
put into the limelight. Yeah, dude. That’s   how it was. They went across and they were like, 
“Why are we so slow here?” And then they started figuring out things were changing. Uh, Evard, the 
EPO helped, but you had to work much harder. Yeah, dude. Totally. It’s not just the EPO. It’s kind of 
like saying, uh, dude, I’m going to do a cycle of   steroids and I’m going to be world’s greatest 
body best bodybuilder. Yeah, I’m going to hit the roads up and all of a sudden I’m going to 
the world bodybuilding championship. Absolutely   not. There’s still all that hard work and talent. 
Oh yeah, Joey Jojo’s here. Oh yes, Colin’s voice. Hey, come on now. That was one of the first 
things I loved about him. Okay, stop this now. Uh, Joey Jojo saying, “Please never attend a 
Coldplay concert.” Collie, guys. My nickname   can sometimes be Collie. Metallica only. No 
kiss cams. Absolutely. Uh, we’re just going to move right on past that one. Exit stage left. 
Visma have Cous and Yates in another group. Yeah, I’m looking for Yates right now. I think he’s in 
the second group here. Good comments. Uh, yeah,   Simon Yates is up there, too. So, they’ve got two 
riders up front. Guys, Vizma still has a plan. Uh, why would they not? I don’t think they’re just 
going to say, “Yeah, you’re the best. We quit.”   They’re a professional cycling team. They’re here 
still to try to win. Uh, anything less than that, I’d be really disappointed. Uh, they’re not just 
going to say, “Yes, Tatty, you’re the world’s   greatest cyclist, and we love you, and you deserve 
to win everything.” They’re here to win. I think there’s nothing wrong with that. Uh, Robert, 
there are thing there are things are different   in the biological passport era. Pro cycling needs 
to remind fans how the process works. Yeah. Uh, it’s a lot more controlled now guys. 
Uh, they’re always checking riders out. Yeah. Nichi, most funny thing was when was 
banned for like two years from marijuana.   He was banned I think a year or one and 
a half in EPO time. Yeah. I think in that 2006 tour to France I’m watching right now. 
Is that right? Yeah. There was no defending Tur to France champions. They all got they 
all got booted at the very start. It showed uh Olrich who I really liked. I loved 
him for his time triing. He was such a beast of a time trialist. Uh Lenny on top 
again. Exactly. Lenny over the top guys. Yep. That was kind of a giveaway. Lenny 
would make it to the top. No problem. So Lenny’s over the top now. Chase group at 
22 seconds. Sept Cous Perry Ponch. Uh looks like they’ve gained some time on the group that’s 
chasing the Tobias Johansson group. Simon Yates is in that group too. It’s a further 1 minute 22 
back to the uh GC group. Guys, let’s go way way back here. Uh oh yeah, I got to thank Joey here. 
She sent me a little gift here. And R. Stanley, it’s popping up already. I’m going to say it as 
it’s coming up. R Stanley, you were so generous   to the channel, dude. Thank you so much. I think 
you donated twice yesterday, dude. Hopefully you didn’t do that uh accidentally. Uh but I really 
appreciate the support from Oklahoma. Good morning all from Oklahoma. This is R. Stanley here. I am 
preparing my Trek Demani for a ride and we’ll be in the saddle listening along. Like and subscribe 
and donate guys. R Stanley, thank you so much,   dude. Thank you so much. This will help me uh 
pay my bill to Mr. Elon Musk for my Starlink that makes this all possible, guys. And Joey Jojo, I’m 
still receiving gifts from her for her birthday. It’s funny how that works now. Uh Wade saying, 
“Lance had a low V2 max and suddenly he could smoke top climbers.” Boom. Dude, call EPO. You got 
it. Tony, yes, Tony, you’re absolutely right. Yes, the plan is in place, but can they execute? 
Exactly. So, they’ve got this plan set up. They’ve got Seth up the road. They’ve got Simon up 
the road. There might be another part of that plan if it doesn’t come together. Like right now, I’m 
watching Van Hart’s out the back. Vanart currently   is eight minutes behind uh the GC group. The 
years that Yonas won, Vanart was like on fire. On fire. He was a key part of that win and he’s not 
there now. It’s not the same Van Art right now. So, they got it in mind, but if all pieces don’t 
come together, it just doesn’t work. Uh, Tony C. Vandervel, Christian Vandervel from the old days. 
Uh, yeah, he was a really good rider watching Alipe on stage. Sorry, on screen here. Tudor, he’s 
just adjusting his jacket, having a good time out there. French superstar. Uh, thinks Seth is going 
to go for a stage win. thinks Vizma gave him the go order possibly. Yeah. I mean, that’s another 
thing, guys. Maybe maybe deep down Vizma’s like, “Oh, there’s no way we can win this. They’re 
sitting around at night. We need stage wins. We   got to get something out of this tour and keep our 
second place.” Yeah, I love it. Oh, Neil Rushby, he’s one of the Bolton boys. Uh he’s saying, “I’d 
let you cuddle me at a cold play cost.” Yeah, guys, it’s hilarious. If you go on Facebook, 
it’s just meme after meme after meme of different characters, personalities in that same CEO, HR 
manager, uh, Coldplay thing. Uh, the best one I saw was James Hadfield cuddling Dave Mustain 
from Mega Death. That’s the best one I saw. Trust me guys, I get into doom scrolling once in 
a while, too. Uh, and then I turn everything I’m doing. Sabrina Carpenter, not interested. 
Not interested. And it keeps coming at me.   Stop. Stop it. Facebook. Uh, upgrade your mind 
up to 40 here. So again, R. Stanley, thank you for your continued donations. Awesome stuff. 
Doping or no doping? Motors or no motors? Tour to France is always epic entertainment. Exactly. 
That’s how I think I know a lot of people like,   “Yeah, those guys were doping so bad back in the 
90s.” I loved it. I absolutely loved it. Was still epic to me. It is what it is. Uh, R. Stanley says, 
“Re on purpose.” So yeah, R. Stanley here, guys. I just shout out. He donated to the channel twice 
yesterday. Thank you so much. And again today,   dude, you’re killing it. Uh likes. I have no idea 
how many likes I have. I know I have 343 people watching right now. Thank you so much. And Joey 
Jojo is saying thank you, guys. Joey is behind me   100% like I said earlier. She stayed late at work 
yesterday. Uh getting the VA profile ready for me. She finishes early on a Friday, usually at 3. So 
I’m like, “Okay, when’s she coming home? What’s going on?” I think she rolled in around 5:36. 
She’d sent me uh thumbnail for today and the Valta. So, I guess she wants me to do the Valta 
fulltime, too. So, that’s my job from now on,   guys. Uh you guys have recognized me. I just need 
the big guns to recognize me. They maybe they already do. Maybe they’re running scared. Uh so, 
yeah. So, thanks again, R. Stanley from Oklahoma. Uh it’s a wet descent again. A wet descent 
after the top. Quite technical. So, they’re worried about the 
ascent off the Aspan. Uh,   and the radio must have been from someone else. 
It says, “You most likely heard from Greca.” Oh, yeah. They heard from Greca. Come on, 
Yonas. That’s all he seems to say. Uh, we have to take pride. In fact, cycling 
actively tries to curtail doping. Yes, they do. Yeah, they’re constantly trying to evolve 
it. Uh, I’m seeing a Bisma rider here with   two others. Now, who is that? I think I’m going 
to say that’s the SEP group. It is the SE group. Uh so ah they’ve caught Martinez. Okay guys, we 
weren’t paying attention there. Uh they’ve gone ahead caught Martinez. Boom boom right here folks. 
It’s bang bang time. Uh Sept Cous Perry Pontra and El Martinez all together now. This will probably 
help Martinez out. Se’s going for it guys. Running and gunning. Let’s see it happen. Uh group two 
Tobias Johansson group down to 12 riders. Still climbing the SPAN on here. I’ve only got 
footage of them going downhill, guys. Uh, traveling downhill. 93 ks an hour. That’s about 
55 miles an hour. The camera lens is completely wet. The roads are damp. Uh, say what you want to 
say about cyclists. Super brave. Uh, any of these corners look super sketchy to me. I think I’d 
be doing about 40k an hour down here at top end. Even the motorbiker looks like he’s having 
struggling with the corners. It did show   a couple of riders. I think someone in this 
camera here looks like there’s two up front and one behind. Yeah, that group of three, they’ve 
split the camera bikes in between them now. So, someone’s saying that’s a bit too fast for 
me. Okay, so it did refresh there. It was showing group two further back. They are on the 
downhill too. Now, guys, we’re working our way   to the Perry Sword. Remember, I’ll show you again 
quickly a map. I’m going to pull it up real quick here. How close we are to yesterday’s stage. Uh 
once I get to the bottom here, okay, Joey Jojo uh saying thank you to uh R. Stanley. Yeah, thank 
you again, dude. Joey Jojo sending out some free   gift memberships to everyone here. So, a bunch 
of you are going to get gift memberships. Uh Tony C Jojo at the Coldplay concert. Yeah, 
I don’t even know what Coldplay songs are. Uh, predicted in stage 12 that Pogy will 
attack on the last climb today. I predict   Pogy will attack on the next climb. Oh, so you 
think Poggy’s going on the parasaur. Jun Basada here thinks co Pogy is going on the parasord 
category one. I think the parasaur is probably the better place to attack. Get over the top, 
descend, and then fly up the HC as best you   can. Wow. I love the sides of the roads here. 
Uh, basically concrete barriers, stone walls, dry stone. They’re not dry stone walls though. 
you guys know. Well, you don’t know. Some of you   know that I love dry stone walls. It’s a thing 
I I like. Uh but yeah, when these guys crash, they’re hitting like a brick wall or they’re 
flying off the side of a mountain. Okay, 3D World from Boise is back. Big weekend here. The big 
Twilight Criterion today with the uh Bogus. Dude,   I’ve heard about Bogus Basin. Uh I’m gonna think 
I’ve seen it on Ruby as a hill climb. You ask what is going on with cycling in the current 
moment? Datadriven science. Yes, dude. Seuss quietly putting together a really nice career. 
Uh, Jumbada, by the way, I am from the beautiful country of the Philippines. Okay, so guys, guess 
what? We’re caught up. Uh, I’m going to show it to you live. Here it is, guys. There it is. Take 
a gander at this baby. Oh, yeah. Crinkling, guys. Is this good? I hate videos that do that, by the 
way. So, ignore me there. Uh, Pop-Tarts. That’s the kind of breakfast I am eating. Uh, guys, I’m 
going to grab a coffee. Be right back. Enjoy. And we’re back, folks. Back in the 10×10 cube 
of race commentary action, folks. Uh, sorry, a bit longer than I thought. Had to warm up the 
coffee this time. Uh, still have not eaten that uh, Pop-Tart that I really want to. Okay, where 
we at here, guys? Let me get caught up. Leaders, three leaders, set paranch, uh Lenny Martinez, we 
will be climbing up the uh Perry sword right away, guys. What I need to do right now is um let’s get 
back to Okay, that’s not what I want to do. Okay, here guys, I want to show you something here 
quickly. Here’s our map. Take a look at this. Again, I couple days ago, I started looking 
at this really long and hard. Uh, if you look very very carefully here in the middle of the 
screen right now, you can see Luden. That was the time trial yesterday. It’s the dashed line, 
the dashed yellow line here. There was the first time check. We connect back onto the road. You can 
see right in the middle of this line here, there’s a number 14. What does that stand for? stage 14. 
Yesterday was stage 13. This is where they climbed up yesterday, hit the second checkpoint. Then they 
turn off the road uh and do this big bend around up to the Altaport. It’s now called the uh I think 
it’s called the Altaport 007 since they filmed the movie here uh in 1997. And we finished on top 
of this catwan climb. So, if we go back to the actual stage itself, close that and we’re going 
to look at the live tracking here where we are on board. Uh, there we are. There. When do we start 
turning off? Okay, we’re a ways to go still. Uh, in fact, you can see Ludenville right here. 
This big huge, you know, I don’t even want to   call these switchbacks. I guess they technically 
are, but they’re kind of far apart. That’s where we’re uh that’s where we’re heading. That’s the 
course we did yesterday. It’s going to be the   exact same course as yesterday. So, three riders 
on a huge breakaway. 1 minute 43 second lead over the Johansson group. That’s down to 10 riders. Uh 
looks like Jordan Jagat and the Alpison rider here vers String uh find themselves off that group. 
And then from the front to the back right now, it’s almost four minutes. It’s 3:44 back to the 
GC group. They’re all still there. 38 riders. Pogy in yellow, Vingigo, Lipoitz only. Jorgensson, 
Ben Healey’s there. Harry, Sweeney, Baine for EF. Okay, they’re keeping uh they’re keeping a lookout 
for uh Ben Healey. Campart’s in that group. The only big Visma rider I see further behind Simon 
Yates is in this group of 10 here with Ben Oconor, Enrique Mass. Yeah. So, a lot of the guys that 
are kind of hovering like that 12th to 18th, they want to be in these groups and get some time 
today. They’re all fighting to move their way up. Constant battle. Uh Vout is the only one I think 
that’s fallen behind. Yeah, Vout uh way off today. Currently sitting eight and a half minutes behind 
uh the yellow jersey group. Let’s see the green jersey, guys. Uh what do they What do you think 
now? I’m going to say they’re 25 minutes behind.   Okay. So, not that bad. 17 minutes behind. 
Saying 1752 at this moment. 25 minutes by the end of the day. That’s totally possible. 
Totally possible. Let’s see if we got any   updates here. We’re into the last 50K. Lenny 
Martinez is picking up all those points. Let’s take a look now at the points here. So, this is 
as of yesterday. Let’s look at the stage ranking. Okay. So, ah, sorry. That’s yesterday’s 
stage, guys. Here’s today’s stage. So, Lenny’s picked up 20 points today. I 
think it would be more than that. This   hasn’t been updated. Uh, that was for 
just the first climb over the tormale because I know Lenny went over first. I know 
Michael Woods went over second for 15. Ah,   it does say there call tormale right there. 
They’re just giving us points for that. Uh, do they show Oh, here it is. The call to Aspen. 
Lenny gets five points, Cous three, Perry Pontu, and obviously Michael Woods wants to get into 
this battle for the uh polka dot jersey because   he fought for one point there. Get the live 
tracking, have a sip of coffee, jump in the chat. Um, okay. Uh, okay. I’m falling behind again. We’re talking 
about Pop-Tarts here. I love the Pop-Tarts. Neil’s here, too. Okay, guys. I’m I’m getting 
finally caught up. Uh, Colin talking about dry stone walls. All the Ruby guys know I 
love my dry stone walls. Dry stone walls,   guys. You know, you see them all over the UK. 
Uh, stacked up bricks. out here. We just pound uh posts into the ground and we put wire up. So 
much cooler looking in the uh at the UK and we all know that Steve Kugan uh video. Oh, you know 
the they go on a vacation the trip or whatever and he talks about vaulting over dry stone walls. 
Just makes me laugh. Anna tour to France in the 40s50s. Didn’t they openly drink wine? Oh 
yeah. Yeah. It was wine drinking amphetamines. anything went back then. Uh Neil Rushby, dude, 
thank you so much. He says, “Go grab a coffee, dude.” Got it in my hand right now. Neil, this 
is the last one of the day after this. Colin’s   probably going to have to have nappy poo after he 
does his chores so I can be on fire for tonight. And I don’t want to stay out too late tonight. 
I want to get home and get ready for the chore   tomorrow. Yeah, Remco is long gone and done. 
Uh upgrade your minus 40. I’m supposed to. If I do a ride today, it’s going to be a very 
simple little ride. Something I can get done like   in half an hour. They’re already climbing the 
co. They’re on the asense, the lower assembly. Well, here it is on the map right here. I’ll 
center it where this little gray road connects on with the yellow road. That’s what they rode 
yesterday heading in a southerntherly direction and up these switchbacks and then they continue 
across the Perry Sword. So that’s category one. More points there for potentially Lenny. That’s 10 
points there. 7.1 km long at almost 8% gradient. So it’s a tough little guy. Not an HC monster. 
We got one at the end of the day though. Neil, thank you so much for the coffee, dude. Uh Ian 
Holmes says the breakaway looks good. R. Stanley, Jojo, thank you very much. I appreciate your that 
very generous. Let’s catapult call into the big   call into the big leagues, guys. Uh, we’re getting 
in there. We’re moving in the right direction. So, you’re saying there’s a chance? So, you’re saying 
there’s a chance? Uh, Tony C. Pop-Tarts, breakfast of Champas, don’t you think? I kind of got back 
into them the last few weeks and then Joey Jojo   kindly uh put a grocery order in and we got like 
a monster box of Pop-Tarts. Pop-Tarts, I’m looking for a sponsorship, please. I need a container. 
And when I say a container, I don’t mean a box. I   mean like a shipping container. All Pop-Tarts. Um 
John here. This is such a good comment from John. Colin and I have similar horrible ride prep. Uh 
yeah, and I will back John up a million%. When I see what John eats in our in our cycling group, 
our Discord group, some guys show what they eat and stuff. Um, and I’m seeing people afterwards 
posting like fine meals, Michelin star rated meals, and then there’ll be like John and me. 
I’ll be I’ll be like having a a halfeaten donut   afterwards and a cracker that was at the bottom of 
a box. John’s eating eating Cheetos and Diet Dew. He loves his diet uh Mountain Dew. So, he’s saying 
here, “I drink Diet Dew and eat those orange   cheesy peanut butter crackers.” Oh, John, those 
are terrible. John, are you talking about the ones that come in the little package? Are you talking 
about those ones? Like the white crackers and you have like a little plastic thing with some crappy 
peanut butter and you put them on there. If so,   I love it. Absolutely love it. Uh, tour to France 
226. We should set calling up with all the drinks, gels, and bars so you can taste test them while I 
I’m into it. I’m into it, Tony. Um, all I have is oats and water and I’m good for a 90k ride. 
I do like a lot of oatmeal. I do like that. Uh, June likes to sip some brandy, too. I’ 
I’ve actually gotten into sipping brandy. Uh, instead of having like six drinks 
that bloat you and calories,   you can have just a couple sips of a 
little one of those. Woo! Look out. Yeah, Joey saying, “I love I do love my junk food, 
guys. I kind of thrive on it.” Uh, John’s saying, “On Wednesday on Ruby, they do a a bourbon ride.” 
I think I’ve heard about that, John. I miss all those Wednesday rides. Um, a lot of guys ride 
at night. I can’t ride at night. I just don’t   like it. Derek Martin, I want bicycle lanes all 
like silk roads. I need to travel, dude. Yeah, me too. John, that is nice, man. Oh, the Oh, the Ruby 
bourbon rides. Yeah, guys, check out Ruby, guys. You can check out all the ver the virtual cycling 
platforms for free. They all offer a free version. Uh Joey Jojo saying to Tony, “Oh my god, 
you mentioned Pop-Tarts and SL.” Yeah,   Pop-Tarts. Uh is it Kelloggs? I don’t even 
know who it is. Uh I’ve been eating them for 40 years of my life. Our friend Lance introduces to 
fasted training to lose weight. He would get up, ride 100 miles, drink carbonated water, take a 
nap. Love him or hate him. He dude, true fasted uh exercise is the best way to lose weight. 
You basically slept off all your glycogen carb reserves that are in your body overnight, 
they’re gone. So your body in the morning when   you start UAE driving the front, Neil’s Plet, 
uh the entire UAE teams here. I think guys, I can see looks like six of them on the front 
right now. Pogy right in the middle. Yeah, six UAE riders. I think that might be all of 
them. Uh and then it’s Yona sitting back there. Thankfully, he’s not in his mushroom 
arrow helmet. Yeah, like fast maybe, but nah, doesn’t do it for me. Yeah, fasted 
works. So, your body gets up, it’s in shock, and then you start burning fat. So, you’re going 
to start burning all your fat reserves off. Yeah, seriously. He’s eaten a jumbo pack of 
Pop-Tarts this week. Oh, yeah. I do it all   the time. Pick up a six-ack of donuts. I eat 
them all before I get home. Then I tell Joey that I’m starving. I haven’t eaten yet today. Uh 
Tony his loves his wife. She fixed bacon, egg, cheese burritos for breakfast. Oh, dude, 
that sounds fantastic. After 42 years,   think she’s g absolutely, dude. Bacon, egg, 
cheese burritos for breakfast. Okay. Uh, wow. KMC gels and bars from the UK are amazing. 
I save them for when I do a proper outdoor ride. High five Aqua for all other occasions. Okay. 
Yeah, Neil, I can honestly say I’ve never used one energy gel. I probably should have used 
it on the Mount Lemon climb that I started   at 2 a.m. in the morning with the Muckers 
Worldwide uh group. So, they’re in the UK, 7 hours ahead of me. Their ride starts at 9:00 
a.m. starts at 2 a.m. for me. Mount Lemon, guys, if you don’t know, in the States is brutal. Uh 
I think it’s 41 km long at just under 5%. So, it’s not steep, but it just it just keeps going. 
Uh yeah, I thought I was going to die and Neil thought I was going to die, too. So, it was 
like one of the hardest things I ever did. I   was so hot. Uh I wasn’t hydrated. I had no coffee. 
I did make a quick coffee. I kind of slept in. So, I had like a few minutes to get ready. I made 
an instant coffee. Just the finest of coffees. Nescafe for all your finest coffee needs. And uh I 
could barely drink it. I was dying. I was dying. I got dropped by everyone. But give it to the man. 
I did finish it. I think it took me three hours. Uh oh, bacon and eggs. Yummy. I think Collie 
is going to be busy after the stream. Yeah,   looks like I’m making breakfast. 
Strawberry PTarts. Karin, that is what I’m having right now. I am eating strawberry 
pop-tarts. Uh we got Pavle here. Pavle Cook uh asking who’s leading. Uh Lenny Martinez, Sept 
Cous, and Valent. Is it Valentine? Let’s check that out, guys. Is it Valentine Parontra? It is 
Valentine. There we go, dudes. There we go. Uh, climber for Sal Sudal here. Remco is gone. 
See, Lenny’s taking a gel right now. So, I’ve never consumed an energy gel in my life. When 
I struggle, I just got to struggle through it, guys. I’m kind of fat, so it’s okay. I got 
the fat reserves. I just work through it. Um, June Basadia, we do mountain biking 
during summer. Now, in the rainy season,   just stay at home and follow the tour of France 
these days. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, everyone’s in different parts of the world. Some parts of 
the world is winter. Some parts are probably in   monsoons soon season. June, I think you said you 
were in the Philippines. Is it monsoon season? Uh, world famous foods new dude here. He’s at 
52 points. Martinez, I was just going to say I go I think he’s talking about Martinez. So, 
yeah, he’s picked up a ton of points today. Uh, securing the polka dot jersey as we speak, guys. 
Big day today. Some say it’s the queen stage, possibly. Uh, stage 18 and 19 look like soul 
destroyers to me. Uh, so it’s going to be super hard later in the week. Don’t forget, we got the 
bonu. We have the epic montou coming up next week. Uh, yeah, points for Lenny. So many. That’s from 
Karin. Yeah, I ate all the raspberry ones. Left those for Joey. Tough. Oh yeah, this is a wacky 
comedy. Joey Jo column plus brandy equals love. Yes, you got it. You got it. Um, okay. Let’s see 
what we got going here, guys. Still keeping an eye out here. Uh, it’s 30. Okay, so three up 
front, 34 seconds back to the Johansson group. It’s down to five riders. Simon Yates, Ben Oconor, 
Arenssman, Tobias Yansen. This guy just Johansson blows me away right now. Actively pushing at the 
front like out of the top 10. He’s the only one that’s kind of I don’t know brave enough to get 
out there to risk everything. Uh that group could come back together. It was a big group before 
of 12 or 13. Uh they were descending. They’re actually climbing now, aren’t they? Let’s take a 
look at the map, guys. We’re virtually where we were at yesterday. If you were here yesterday, 
you’re going to remember this. Uh, you can see the little line in the middle of the screen where 
they’re coming down. I’m going to keep it right   here for now. And then I want to see if that’s 
where we’re at here. I got to get caught up here, guys. Ben O Conor still in one of those front 
groups. We can jump away for a second here. So, the Johansson group here. Ben Oconor’s in 
this. Oh, no. Hang on. I just saw a Jacob   guy. He is in the group of five. So, Ben hanging 
good. Carlo Rodriguez there for Inos. Johansson, Simon Yates, and Arenssman. Two Inos 
Grenaders here. Jump back. We got the uh Jordan. Is it a Jordan? Yeah, Jordan 
Jagat group. Hey, Rubio. Mike Woods. So, Mike is not going to be fighting for those 
points. Uh then it is 216 back to Pogy. No one up front is anywhere near his time, so they’re 
allowed to go. They are allowed to go, folks. H that could have been hotter. I really like hot 
coffee and hot food. Uh yeah, upgrade your mind 40. You miss all the rides you don’t take. Yeah, 
I got to ride too, dude. I did download a route   yesterday, so it’s ready to go. I just need 
to jump on, get the tunes rocking, and bang it out. R Stanley going on a ride later tonight. 
Friend is having his very first child, so wants me to do one last big ride together. It’s too hot 
during the day. Enjoy it. Yeah, Oklahoma, I think, gets some smoking hot summers probably and those 
wicked storms late in the day. Uh, R Stanley, I’ve never We can get that kind of too. Nothing 
like what you guys do. I’m not even comparing us to your tornado action, but it’s late in the 
day. You see those clouds bubbling up and you know something’s coming. Tony see UEIE whole job now 
is to keep Pogy upright. Yeah. Keep him upright, healthy, out of danger. He just has to survive. 
He’s still He has nine days, eight stages. There’s a rest day in there, too. Something could 
happen on the rest day. He could have an off day. Uh UA Yeah, the full UA team is there. I counted   six of them before. Uh let’s do that 
quickly, guys. Let’s go back and see. Okay, so we lost Almeida early. They have seven 
riders. Six are in that group. One is missing somewhere. Uh, I don’t know who that is yet. Then 
there’s only three Vizma riders. So, UAE at this moment looks stronger uh than the other group 
than UAE. Sorry. UAE looks stronger than Visma. And here we go, folks. So, here the front group 
of riders just passed the checkpoint. Group two is through the checkpoint from yesterday. 
Uh, I do want to show you this again here. So this big bend in the road here where we go 
up to the category one uh climb of the called the parasaurord just off to the southwest you 
can see paraguds that is the runway we were at yesterday they’re probably like as the crow flies 
a mile apart mile and a half apart or something   like that that’s how close we were so you got 
the perig goods and the paris sword so I spent a lot of time and I love doing it figuring out all 
these different climbs how they’re pieced together uh It’s just like a puzzle. There’s different 
rides everywhere. Where do we need to finish?   Are we going for an HC finish, a mountaintop 
finish? Do we want to have a breakaway at the end? Uh yeah, Robert, UA team full powering. Abby 
looks thin. Wow, this looks decisive. I’m I’m praying for the guys at the front. Keep Sepus, 
let’s go, buddy. Let’s go. Uh, Derek Martin. Uh, okay. Derek Martin, I’ll read your comment. 
I don’t know who Derrick is. Presenter,   have character, laugh, cry, sad, happy, joke, 
gesture, entertaining. You’re boring. Okay, so I guess Dererick Martin saying I’m boring, 
maybe. I don’t know. Uh, whatever, dude. Uh, so Tonyy’s talking to Joey here, saying, 
whispering so Colin does not hear. Hide   the raspberry next time. Definitely. I always 
find them. Swoosh Kid uh for the win. Kellix Pop-Tarts division was acquired by Mars, the 
maker of M&M’s for 30 35.9 billion in 20. So, whatever business you think you’re in that’s 
killing it, dude. You should get into Pop-Tarts.   That’s where the real money is. The real 
money is in Pop-Tarts. 35.9 billion in 2024. Ivar, here you’re saying too, I’ve 
had uh I’ve had one power gel uh oh, I had one power gel cut my lips on the package. 
Never again. Yeah, dude. I could see that that   plastic edge. I saw yesterday in that 2006 tour 
to France, Tor Hoo, the mighty Tour. Really loved him as a cyclist. Uh my time trial bike I have 
is the same as what he was riding back then in a sprint at the finish. You know, one of those 
big green thumbs that you see at sporting events   that are like this, it’s green. PMU, sprint 
sponsor. A fan was waving it. It hit his arm, cut his arm wide open. It was only three 
stitches. Uh, this looks like Simon Yates is falling out of this group. Uh, I think that’s 
the third group. So, I’ll keep an eye on that. Uh, it was only three stitches in the end, but it was 
like a blood bath. uh because he’s going so fast, the uh heart rate’s pumping. It was in the very 
very final sprint way back in 2006. Uh yeah, Jeff uh uh Aventipole jumped out on about the first 
three kilometers of tormlay. He said, “That’s   enough of that. Are those strawberry Pop-Tarts 
frosted?” Dude, you only have frosted Pop-Tarts. There’s no need for unfrosted. If you’re going to 
have a Pop-Tart, you got to go all in. I’m all in, bro. Uh, dude, Ivard here. Wait till Joey Jojo 
sees this comment. Used to love PBJ, dude. I I live on PB&J. Neil’s Plet uh just bailed for 
UAE. Got that big smile. I think he blew a kiss, too. These riders blowing kisses. I love it. 
So, Neil’s Paula did just pull off, guys. Uh, I’m going to take a look over here. See what I 
can see. Uh, it looks like Septus. I think the two groups have came together here guys. Two groups 
have came together on the uh paragood/parasaur climb. I think yes they have. So the five chasers 
of Johansson here’s my guy right here. This guy brave Carlos Rodriguez for Inos Ben O Connor. 
Seuss is there Aaron Perry Pron and Martinez. So I thought there was five chasing. There must 
be someone dangling just off the back. I can see   him now on my screen. There’s a rider about 30 40 
meters back and I’m actually seeing Ben O Connor struggling a bit here. Tobias Johansson. Yeah, 
he’s at the front. Perry Punch pushing hard. So, let’s get back here guys. I want to have a 
look at this now as they’re climbing here. So, this is a repeat of the team time trial. 
Sorry, the time trial yesterday. We have our front group of seven. Group two, Jordan Jagat, Simon 
Yates, Higuita, Ruben, Rubio Reyes. Group three, Enrik Mass, Michael Woods, Vers String, and then 
the yellow jersey group. 40 riders now. Just going to have a quick scan of it here. Uh, everything 
looks the same as before. Matteo is still there. Guo Martan, Jonathan Narve. So, in this group, we 
have lost Neil’s Pollock, but I’m seeing Pogy. Uh, Primos is still there. He’s got Narvea. He’s got 
Adam Yates. So, he’s still got at least two riders with him. I think there’s more than that. Mark 
Solair is still there. Paul, they’re saying Paul’s there, but I just saw him pull the parachute. 
He’s gone. He was doing the old he pulled over, you know, waving at the camera, this 
that kind of thing. Big teeth. Love it. Yeah. Art art. It’s still Ant Debbiosi, 
isn’t it? Yeah, definitely frosted. I’d like a double frosting. Uh, and yeah, I love PB&J 
sandwiches. It’s my go-to if I come home. Okay, looking at now, five UAE riders being 
pursued by three two arcade BMBB guys, and it looks like Total Energy is behind them. 
This would have been probably the best stage to   attend because you got a double stage out of it. 
You got the time trial uh yesterday. You hang out uh you know party it up with the crazies in the 
mountains and then the next day you get to do all again. You don’t even have to travel. You just 
stick right here. 8% gradient. Remember this is   a tough little climb guys. They will detour off uh 
and avoid the paragoods. They’re not going back to the airport. Imagine if someone took the wrong 
turn uh and they go over the call to parasort. Uh okay. Disbury dental centers here. Yeah,   they’re probably talking 
about my bad teeth I have. Okay, James Delari here from Corska. They were 
playing the 1986 duel between Eno and Leamond on   French TV. The last glory for France. Yeah, dude. 
It’s been a long time since France has been at the top. Uh they’ve had a lot of good riders though I 
can think of. Just a few I can think of offh hand   would be like Kristoff Maro. He was a real good 
time tri Agricol back in the days. That was the team I remember him with. He was up there fighting 
against Lance a lot. Lance a lot. Get it? Um, so dumb. Uh, on the road. Castelli Shaki. 
It looks like Yeah, UAE is just applying the pressure. Visma’s not putting the plan together 
yet, guys. It’s not getting together. Everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the face. 
And I think that’s happening right now. Uh, okay. Yeah, Tibo Pino was another great French. I 
and I loved him as a cyclist. One of my very very favorite cyclists. Uh, they had Bardday, they 
got Gaodu floating around. David Gaou, haven’t seen him. Is he even I don’t think he’s even 
on the street of France. Pretty sure he’s not. Absolutely 100% convinced he’s not cuz if he 
was, we would have heard of him by now. Tatty   looking comfortable here. the two Arca guys. 
Uh, so Archa, looks like Kevin Valon’s only got one rider with him. Kevin Valon, number 131, 
riding for Arca B&B hotels. Looks very comfortable right now. He’s sixth overall to tour to France. 
I think this is his second tour. Victor is still up there with Vizma. So, it’s Yonas, Victor, and 
I can’t tell from here. Vout’s gone. Simon’s up the road. Se’s up the road. I think Matteo is 
in this group and maybe sitting further back. Uh, June Bas, wow, this is a great 
chatting group. No swears. Yes,   sir. It is moon monsoon rainy season now 
here in the Philippines. Okay, so June, give me some updates. I’ve always wondered 
about this. Is it nice at all through the day   and does it then just go and just pours or 
does it just rain all day long? I know it’s seasonal there. I’d love to know more about it. 
Joey saying, “I like it hot.” Yep. Hot coffees. 40 years since a Frenchman won his home tour 
and that Yeah, Bernard definitely Frost. Yep. Uh Ian saying you have more information. Great. 
Okay, guys. Uh let me get back to the race   here. I know I’ve been hovering on that one 
thing there. Just going to have a look here. Yeah, it does say here Paul is done. It said he 
was in that group, but he’s long gone. Civicov   takes over. That’s who’s at the front now. Uh this 
is Neil’s Pard here bailing out right here. That guy sits on the front all the time for UAE. And 
yeah, when he pulls the pin, he’s done. He’ll be uh joining that green jersey group soon. Looking 
at the front right now, I’m seeing an Inos rider going out the front. And I can’t tell if this is 
Carlos or Tyman Erisman. Let’s have a look. It is Aeronman. He did so good on stage 10 and then kind 
of went down a little bit for the following hard stages. Wow. Tobias Johansson again there. This 
guy is riding so far above where I don’t want to say his level. He’s just not on a team that’s at 
world tour level. This guy Hey you X, welcome to the world tour. You X, welcome to the world tour. 
Guys, it’s the end of their three-year cycle this year. uh it goes 2023 24 25 uh sometime later this 
year they make the decisions they accumulate all the points based on UCI standings uh that’s 
from you know one day races shorter stage races and the grand tours all based on points 
two teams come up two teams go down you know X uh okay so he’s in he’s actually in third place 
you Tobias right now all three are together there trying to get over the top of the call the 
pair of sword Uh, we’re going to jump back here,   but Aaron is looking really good. I thought he was 
really impressive earlier on in the week. Okay, they’re still technically on the time trial 
from yesterday. It’s the exact same road. Exact. I think I need a microwave in here. I need a 
microwave. Maybe like a mini bar setup. Bry. I’m I might do it all, Joey. I think we need 
to do that. We need to set up the studio again.   Rebuild the 10 x10 cube. Uh the bike 
I don’t know where it’s going. Okay. Bang bang time, folks. Yeah, the God of 
Thunder tour. Oh, Ivar saying he has the entire credit team credit agricult. Love it, 
dude. I’d love to get more kit. Would love it. Uh yeah, so UAE still has seven riders 
and everyone is contributing 100%. Neil’s Paul’s done his job on the front right 
now. I’m going to have to figure out   who that is. It’s not Tim Wellins. They’re 
picking. Looks like they’re picking up. I would say this might be Woodsy here. 
It’s an Israel primary tech rider. Uh so the yellow jerseys back here. 
They’re picking up riders you’re   not seeing here on the map right 
now. This is a solo rider here. If you look down here on the map, you can watch 
the dots move. Be a dot watcher like me. This little bend here, this is where they turned off 
yesterday. It’s still quite the drag up to the top of the uh parisord. See the category one up here? 
We’ll be taking on the parisord. And then some pretty wicked switchbacks on that corner there 
uh when you jump over the top. where we go from uh the out Pyrenees to the out uh can’t read 
that word. Just take my word for it. Uh go from one department to the next. Let’s see the 
time gaps here. So, it’s showing Aaron only on the front now attacking there. Again, these guys 
would know this road very well from yesterday.   Totally different conditions. Yesterday, it was 
36 degrees C. Today it’s saying here on course, I don’t know where they take the weather from. 16 
degrees Celsius. 20 degrees Celsius difference. Uh I’m watching two Vizma riders here. This is 
probably be Sept Cous and Adam Simon Yates. Uh they are slipping out of the front. So Tobias 
Johansson is with Martinez. Super strong ride for him. Chasing group Rodriguez, Rubio Reyes, Perry 
Ponch, who was in the front for quite a while. uh Jordan Jagat group here. So yeah, there’s 
riders missing here uh that aren’t showing up in groups because I can see Yates and Cous. 
Uh we’ll figure out where they are soon. Uh okay guys, what next? Jeff Le’s here. Survey 
one. Chocolate Poptart, chocolatecovered donut, or chocolate bar. Dude, that might be 
the survey for the poll for tomorrow. Uh Bashock saying, “Can Pogy have an easy day 
for once? They started to close the gap.”   Lol. Savage World can’t even finish 
his coffee. It’s overly diluted with Yonas inspired tears. Yes. Ann Allen here 
saying, “Jonas helmet looks like traditional Dutch women’s hat called Bonnageer.” I can’t 
stress that. The side panels called Kissers. or causers. Have fun with that. And I I 
just butchered every word you said there.   I’m sorry. Yeah, Kus is up front. He’s been 
sent up front early. Uh so we got a guy here, Bal Nazri. Uh Kus was sent up front way earlier 
today. So that was kind of their plan. I think Kus is up front. Uh Simon Yates is sent up front 
too. Cous I should say. Uh it’s like if Well, if we can’t execute our plan, let’s get someone 
in the breakaway and try to get stage win. Stage wins are important, too. Uh, guys, got to catch 
up again. Gotta catch up. Gotta catch up. Thanks, presenter. Be happy. I’m always happy, dude. Uh, 
Ann Allen here. Oh, it’s ores. Oriages. Okay. Ear irons. Okay. Ear irons. We’ll just go with that. 
Uh, Derek, finally, action talk. Joey stepping in here. Alan Kieran. Yeah, guys. It’s going off now. 
It’s going off. loving seeing this guy from time in Arensman. Guys, go back to stage 10. Uh I was 
all over this guy. Uh had a great uh stage 10. I expected more in the next couple days. He kind 
of like backed it down a bit, but um time and Aaron here. He’s 23rd overall. Uh on the breakway 
now called to pirasaur might be the crucial break today. He wants to get over the top first, start 
that descent. Uh, these switch packs are very tight here. Running down into the valley. When 
we get to the town, we hang a right at Banyan’s Dishon Bangers. Uh, we’re in the small village 
there in the valley and then we immediately start climbing up to Super Baners at the top. Super 
bangers, folks. This has been a banger of a stage, folks. Uh, I love all the racing. There’s always a 
race within a race. Uh, people I noticed yesterday media outlets, too. Uh, the tour’s over. 
The tour. It’s not over. We’re still going,   guys. The tour is still going. There’s still 
battles. Yeah, Maro was cruddy agricult. Uh, Jeff, you’re saying looks like the yellow 
jersey is about to punch the gas. Yeah,   possibly. All depends how Tatty feels and 
what the team’s going to allow him because that’s that’s the only ever critique 
I’ve seen of Tatty is that sometimes   he’s too reckless. He’s he attacks 
too much. Uh, that’s just his style. Derek Martin says, “Sorry, Jojo.” Dude, 
it’s all good, man. It’s all good. Uh, Karin’s got the new meme here. 
Let’s throw that meme up. Uh, okay. I missed that part there. Okay. Uh, 
Jumbasada asking, “Who is the best Spanish rider in the 2025 Turf France?” I think the 
best placed, just off the top of my head,   would be probably Carlos Rodriguez. Uh, is that 
right? I’m just I’m just guessing Carlos Rodriguez right now. 12th place overall, I believe for Inos 
Grenaders. He’d probably be in this group here. He is a Spanish rider. I think he’s the highest place 
Spanish rider. Uh, if someone else knows, let me know. I can look at the GC pretty quick here, 
too, if we have to. Uh, overall classification,   let’s look. Slovenian, Slovenian, Danish, 
Belgian, German, Scottish from the UK, Frenchman, another Slovenian, uh, Norwegian, Austrian. Is 
that Austrian? Yeah, Felix Gall Austria. Uh, Martinez is French. Yeah. Carlos Rodriguez 13th 
place now. 12th place because Remco is still showing up here. Carlos Rodriguez is the best 
placed rider, Spanish rider right now. Is he the best rider? I don’t know if he’s the best rider, 
but he’s the best placed rider right now. Um, only eight points for Lenny from Karin here. Yeah, 
because time is going to get more points here. This is a category one. How many points? I think 
this is a 10-pointer. Uh, yeah, 10pointer here. 10p pointer at this point here. Let’s see where 
they’re at right now. They’re just getting there   now, guys. Just getting there now. Going to fly 
over here for a second. Uh, exit that and I will keep up with the chat, guys. Doing my best here. 
Really impressed by Tobias Johansson. Guy riding like a beast. I love these brave moves. He’s not 
worried about protecting uh his jersey time and errandsman. Love it, guys. This is so cool to me. 
So cool. I got to look at something here. Yeah, this is just what it looks like, too. Uh guys, 
we’re going to go just jump back for a second here into uh Bike Terra. Boom, folks. We’re back 
in Bike Terra right now. What you’re looking at on screen, guys, is an inside cycling application 
called Bike Terra. There’s your leader of the tour to France, Time and ARsman, Inos Grenaders. 
Take a look at the switchbacks coming up. I just watched the stage uh the Perryis sword 
yesterday from the 2006 and it does have a nice ascent like that. They get over the top. Let me 
just jump into it guys so I have some control   over it. Uh he’s going to he’s crossing the 
top right now and then we’re going to have a little look back. The polka dot jersey group of 
Lenny Martinez is 500 meters back. Uh again guys, if you do a paid subscription by Terra, best 
priced uh product out there. I think it’s Canadian for me anyways. It’s different in Europe part of 
the world. It’s $5.99 a month for me. You’ll get   better drawn. You can actually see the switchbacks 
down below us here. Uh with a paid subscription, the drawing distance is better. I guess you’re 
helping pay for uh their servers. But you can see these switchbacks here. I told you, take a look 
at the map in the bottom right. And then take a   look at the rider here. You can see how tight 
these switchbacks are are here. That’s what’s going on out there. Uh the and it’s going to show 
him bomb around the corners. 60 kilometers an hour. This is coming direct live, guys. Now, it’s 
not going to be exactly. It’s not going to show people on the road. It’s not going to show every 
building on the road, but this what’s makes it so   usable. I’m going to jump back to the Polka Dot 
jersey group and jump on Tobias Yans Johansson. uh says there’s five of those riders there. 
We’ve seen that, guys. We’re going to jump out. We’re going to jump back to the tour itself. 
And I want to see how many riders we got in that second group. Uh this is the Lenny Martinez 
group right here. Coming to the chopper. Bingo,   bango, bang, bang time. Five riders in that 
group. It’s showing exactly what’s going on out there. Absolutely love it, guys. Tell Bike 
Terra how much you love their little application. Uh, okay. Gotta back up a bit, guys. Um, 
Ivar’s asking if they’re second setting Jonas up for attack. I’d love to see an attack 
out of Yonas. I’d love it. Like, attack Tatty. Julius is saying, “I can remember several years 
ago getting a bike or something after biking   for eight hours or more. Last time I biked 8 
hours straights would be uh probably when I was 17 years old.” Karen Aaronman is in crazy 
mode. Yeah, he’s gone. He’s going for it right now. Struggle to tell the difference between 
the red, white, and blue and the red, yellow, black striped flags. Okay, Robert’s saying that. 
Uh, so red, white, and blue. I I’m assuming we’re saying the French flags. Uh, red, yellow, black 
could either be Belgium or German. Ooh, guys, it is super sketch out there. The roads are very 
wet right now. Uh, he’s gingerely going around the corners. cameraman’s wiping the lens all the time. 
This is scary here, guys. Uh, and what’s crazy is, uh, we’ve got Mark Solair leading the 
yellow jersey up. Tatty sitting second.   Matteo Jorgensson sitting third here. 
U slightly behind here now, guys. Um, it’s dry. It’s not soaking wet. So, when they go 
over the top, the road is dry here. Wow. Sketchy. I’m surprised we haven’t seen anyone 
go down. Really surprised by that. Uh yeah, Jeff saying here they appear to be very 
much afraid of falling on the wet road at   this minute. Yeah, you don’t want to fall now. 
Definitely don’t want to fall now. Just trying to catch up here. So I looks like I’m delayed 
by Let’s see where I am. 30.1 there. Uh I’m going to come back here. Yeah, I’m probably I’m 
probably pretty close to where they’re at. So, the yellow jersey group, I think, is 
just getting to the top right now. Yeah, they’ve just gone over the top of the 
Perisord now. They’ve got to deal with   some sketchy switchbacks here. I bet you UAE 
is going to sit right on the front to guide Tatty over the top. They don’t want anyone 
going down ahead of them. Yeah, this is not   a high-speed descent because if it if you try 
this high speed, you’re you’re going down. You will go down here. Tatty riding out third place. 
Matteo right behind him. Gonna jump back here. Yeah, upgrade your mind after 40. Some big 
HC still ahead. Von 2 is a fave. Still lost   to ride for. Yeah, absolutely, dude. There’s so 
much left to go. We have an HC still left today. HC climb up to Super Baners. We have not the tour 
to France has not finished at Superman since 1989. That’s how long it’s been. Uh, dangerous 
downhill, then final climb. I expect Pogy to start speeding up on the final climb. Will 
he hold pace or attack on the wet road? Uh, I don’t, if Pogy goes on the attack today, it’s 
not going to be until I’m going to say halfway   through the final climb. He wants to make sure he 
doesn’t blow up early. Uh, there have been cases in the past where he has been isolated and 
he’s blown up. Uh, I don’t think it’s, guys,   they’re going downhill at 80k an hour. That’s 48 
mph. And the roads are damp. Wow. And they’re and they’ve got to cross that white line in the 
middle as they kind of go traverse from side   of the road to anticipate the next bend. Uh it 
looks like they’re in a cloud bank. Lots of road spray coming up. Shocked no one hasn’t gone down 
yet. June loves Pogy as I love uh Novak tennis. I am not biased but observe the UA team has shown 
great team effort not for Pogy but for the team as   well. Yeah, great teams. Absolutely great teams. 
Yeah. So, we got these uh I think it’s four on the front. Sorry, it’s Aeron’s been on the front 
being pursued by three or four. Five riders. Five riders. Yeah, there is five in this group. Uh all 
riding extremely close together. One of them just   threw a bottle at a fan. Hopefully, he picks 
it up. 80k an hour here. So, you’re riding 80k an hour down a wet hill. You have you’re able to 
reach down, grab a bottle, and throw it to a fan. Insane. Uh Jordan Jagat is isolated going down 
the hill. Probably not so good at the descending. Uh I like being in the map mode. Here’s our lone 
warrior timesman given her for Inos Grenaders. 23rd overall the tour right now. Here’s the 
Lenny Martinez group. Tobias Johansson. Uh, group three, Ben O Connor, Septcus, Simon Yates. 
Huh. I find this to be kind of interesting. Is were they planned to be together at this point? Do 
they want to have two Vizma riders right here? Uh, two of the best Vizma climbers for something 
later. Maybe. Have they been talking to Ben Oconor? Oh, sure. There’s chitchats. Yeah. So 
Jordan’s by himself back here. Then we find the Tatty group further back. 23 riders in this 
group. Let’s have a quick look at it. Who did not have the nerves? So Jorgensson’s there. Healey’s 
there. Bargui. Warren Bargui still able to hang there with him. Van Wilder. Lechnesend. Let’s 
just stay right here, guys. Uh the next climb is not far away either. I’ll catch up with the 
chat here. Uh, okay. Uncle Uncle Matty again. Good old Uncle Matty’s back. Look for the last 
climb. We’ll tell the tale. Pogy wins today if   they continue to climb. Well, hopefully someone 
gets away and stays away with a chance at the top of the final climb. Yeah, I’d love to see 
someone different one today. Spice up the tour. Uh, Tony Poggy thinking kickbutt stage 12. 
Took it to them on stage 13. The time trial. If I get stage 14, it will be soul crushing to 
the rest of the pelon. Yeah, they will kind of   shut Vizma right down. Uh just Pog is letting 
them attack. Very dangerous roads here. Yeah, there’s two UAE riders 10 15 meters ahead of Pogy 
on the road. They want Pogy way up front. They don’t want riders going down in front of them and 
him being collateral damage. Uh I’m seeing some black and yellow riders there. So I think there’s 
three Vizma riders there. Motorbike chasing them downhill here at 95 kilometers an hour. Uh the sec 
the the group of five that’s chasing after Aaron 95 g K an hour on damp roads. No thank you. Kieran 
here saying uh Aaron is another dimension is in another dimension. Uh June I am sorry to say and 
feel it. Pogy is a loner. That’s why he wanted to attack most of the time as being lonely. He could 
focus much on racing against himself. I will do it to you tomorrow. Hey June, thanks for being here. 
I appreciate you just being here every day. Uh uh Derek saying I think he’s saying it’s 
raining on his barbecue at home. Yeah,   Kieran uh Lenny got eight points at the 
parasaur. Uh time and errandsman took 10. Uh okay, so we got uh Na Lada O2 here. Uh 
why did Rumor draw? No one knows right now. He just wasn’t having a good tour. Uh he crashed 
and burned yesterday really bad. Uh getting caught by Yonasfingo on the time trial. Lost two 
minutes to Yonas. Lost massive time overall. He started today and withdrew after about 2 
and a half kilometers on the tormallay. The   first climb of the day. Probably knowing if I 
feel this bad now, there’s no way I can finish the rest of the stage and and keep in there. 
Actually, I’m just getting a flashback now   to Yamko bailing out, jumping into the Sudal uh 
little station wagon, jumping in the back seat. Yeah, think about that. You’re the leader of the 
Yeah, get in the back seat. They threw him into   the back seat there, folks. The gap is increasing. 
Come on, Tatty. Uh fourth. Let’s Let’s look at some times, guys. Looking at some times. So, we 
got our lone warrior going for it. He’s on the break now. He’s got a 118 lead, guys. He’s got to 
take on an HC climb, though. Take a look at this. Super Baners 12.4 km long, 7.3% gradient. They’re 
going to climb close to 900 meters here. Uh after they’ve already done all this at the bottom 
here, they’ve already climbed 4,000 meters today, guys. So, like 14,000 feet have already been 
climbed. They’ve already raced uh 165 kilometers at that point. Uh you think you’d be getting a 
little bit tired. Massive downhill. I mean they’re showing gradients going downhill of like 12%. So 
it’s a 130 gap back to them. 19 seconds back to Jagat riding solo. 2 minutes further back to the 
yellow jersey in this HC. Uh the yellow jersey group there. Tatty himself could pull all of that 
back. Where is our green jersey group? They are only starting the ascent up the Perry sword. The 
green jersey group is 21 minutes behind. And look at this guys. There’s a 100 riders back here. 
We I think we only have 169 in the tour right now. Maybe 170. So, you know, 40% actually more 
than 50% of the riders 60% of the riders are back here in this green jersey group. That’s how 
hard this tour has been. We about 18 in between. Uh when I saw Rodriguez here, I’m like, what? 
That’s Christian Roger Rodriguez for Arca B&B hotels. And they’re both Spanish, too. Carlos 
and Christian. So, yeah, huge gaps forming there, folks. Huge gaps. I want to see him start the 
climb. So, he’s racing through town here. Uh dry roads at the bottom. So, yeah, it’s so 
weird. They’re at the top of those peaks and   there’s rain. I think it’s the it’s the clouds. Uh 
they’re riding through it and it’s just coming out on them. Roads look nice and dry down here. They 
might be possibly damp. Average speed right now for him. Uh so far 39.61 km an hour. Uh yeah, V2 
is a great indicator of fa fitness. Exactly. Ian Evans saying, “Have you seen Diddy the Devil?” I 
haven’t seen him yet today. I have not seen him   on the stage. Uh, the Golf Podcast live. Uh, did 
you ever race? Are you located in the US? Dude, I’m in Canada. I’m in Alberta, Canada. 
The only racing I ever did, guys, uh,   was way back when Aeron’s been uh, kind of like 
jiggling his legs back and forth trying to do a bit massage. I did a bit of track racing way back 
when. Calgary has an outdoor track. Uh, oh, what’s his name now? The coolest thing ever was when our 
Olympic bronze medalist showed up there one day, Kurt Kurt Harnett showed up. The guy’s legs were 
so gigantic. Uh you really have no idea how big a track uh sprinter’s legs are until you see 
them up close. So Calgary has an outdoor track, concrete track. Uh I I did three seasons there. 
Lot of fun. Lots of different racing. It’s kind of like learn how to track ride one weekend. 
I did get myself a track bike. I used to own   a Zeus track bike that I never should have sold. 
I should have kept it. Uh I think they’re getting very hard to find. And it actually So Zeus is 
a Spanish brand. Uh it was copper in color, very vintage. Uh it was probably I bet you 
that bike was 10 years old when I bought it,   but it was brand new from a cycle shop in Calgary, 
which is like old school bike shop. There’s junk everywhere, stuff everywhere. And it back then 
Zeus used to make their own components. Not like there’s a lot of components on a track bike, but 
it was all Zeus components. And I guess that’s   very, very hard to find now. Should never have 
sold it. Yeah. So, I did a bit of track racing and I did some club I did a lot of club riding 
when I was younger before I went back to school. Uh Derek wants me to train him. Give him the 
confidence. Confidence is easy, bro. Confidence is easy. Green Jersey Group Broom Wagon is gaining 
on you. Lol. Yeah, Tony’s watching the Broom Wagon get after them. So, Aeronman is out front solo. 
Uh, guys, I’m going to check what they got to say here. So, yeah, Aeron’s been out front. Lenny will 
all but secures the polka dots. 60 points. Michael Woods at 38. Tatty’s at 37. Uh, what is available 
here? 20 points. Yeah. So, Lenny has it. Uh, I don’t think anyone can touch him. Even if Tatty 
passes them, Tatty will not take the polka dot   jersey tick cuz Lenny has 60 right now. Tatty 
would end up with I think 57. Aaron’s been on a fly, guys. They’re probably screaming in his ear 
right now. Uh, okay. Yeah. So, back to uh Yeah, there was an outdoor track. I did that for a few 
years. It was like every Tuesday and Thursday   night. So, I had some crappy job back then. I 
would show up there, do some bike racing. Uh, almost had some wicked crashes. I saw people go 
down. so hard there. Uh you come from the outside, you know, road biking, I saw guys cross the finish 
line of a sprint, stop pedaling, it’s fixed gear, you get vaulted over top of the handlebars. Brutal 
crashes. I had one where I had a hesitation and uh I broke my cleat off my shoe. So the force, 
the torque of that pedal going, it tried to kick me up. I felt the back wheel come up, my cleat 
broke off, and that’s probably what saved me. Uh, okay. So, yeah. Oh, this is cool. 
Here, Edvar saying, “Harnet had 44 inch thighs bigger than my chest.” Dude, where were 
his legs really that big? I don’t know. Uh, okay guys, just backing up. Currenon’s been uphill 
again. Yeah, 99 km an hour clock in the sense. That’s bananas. New to the channel. Enjoy the 
covers, dude. Golf podcast. Thanks for being here,   dude. Uh, appreciate it. Tony C at the golf 
podcast live. Are you not busy with the British open day? No, dude. He’s busy with the tour 
to France. Tony, let’s go. Uh, world famous foods. Nelson Veils was my childhood hero. Dude, 
Nelson was a beast in his day, too. The cheetah.   The cheetah. Nelson Veils. Uh, I still see him on 
Facebook once in a while. I think Nelson was huge. Like 84, I believe. So, so Kurt Harnett was the 
Canadian dude who did get a bronze medal. I think it might have been an 84 Olympics as well. Uh, 
dude, he was a powerhouse. Probably just a super young guy. He had like the blonde curly mullet. 
And the coolest thing I got to see him do was uh he was doing motor pacing on the track with like a 
small motorbike and they were absolutely going all out. Uh, Golf Podcast has got both on watching the 
tour and uh, the golfing. Tony’s doing the same thing. Phil Como, new guy here. Hey, Phil. Nice 
to see you. I saw Kurt in Harrison Hot Springs. His legs are bigger than my waist. Really? Really? 
Dude, I was he was like 10 feet from us just kind of hanging out. He was already like uh in the 
Olympics world. Like everyone knew who he was. Uh I think a a female Olympian might have showed 
up too, but I didn’t know enough about it at that   time. And we were just like I think he was there 
on the second day of our training weekend like come on out try out track racing. Uh the track is 
still there. Jeff says I got into racing. Jeff’s always got a good one here too. Jeff says I got 
into racing just after they invented the wheel. I don’t think it was catching on. Just me and 
Fred Flintstone. So I bought a carbon fiber   uh fruit cart for my mule team. Jeff, nice one. 
Uh Steven Cycles back in talking about the open. Um Costa Rica, this is Todd again. The climb back 
up to her house is 5.6. Oo, that’s a climb. Todd’s talking about the climb at his house. Uh guys, I’m 
going to go to the map mode for a second just to   keep track of this now. Guys, you guys keep me so 
busy in the chat. So here’s Tim and Aaron’s been riding solo. Two groups are chasing him. Topiosa 
group, eight riders. There’s another group there as well. I’m going to think that’s probably the 
Yates uh Yates group. It says it’s Jordan Jagat. So maybe he’s going to get back on. And then it’s 
3 minutes 24 from time and Aaron to Tatty. Will Tatty pull back that three and a half minutes. 
Guys, what do you think? HC climb up Super Baners. I love it. Uh fast Freddy Flintstone 
was a rocket big guy. So Todd here is saying, so Todd’s for Costa Rica mountain biking. Todd’s 
been your I think he might have been your day one.   The climb back house is 5.69 km and 649 m. That’s 
huge, Todd. Huge. That’s uh steeper than anything we did today. By no means do I fly up the climb, 
but it does provide a nice endorphin fix. Yeah, just drop it into the granny year. Big rain 
uh big ch cog on the back and just get up it. Uh, Sheffer will win the Open. Guys, I don’t 
know a lot about golf. I took up golfing a few   years back with Joey Jojo’s dad. Uh, I’m 
terrible at it. Let’s just be honest. But golf’s one of those games you have to practice, 
practice, practice, practice, practice. Uh, Jun, but Pogy has humility, sincerity, sportsmanship, 
and strength added to his friendship to riders and   spectators. That is why the gods of cycling are 
taking care of Pogy. Yeah, Pogy is super humble. He really is. Uh you can see the media asking 
questions, guys. UAE on the front driving. D driving that. Uh looks like it’s the fourth group 
on the road there. Yeah, fourth group on the road. Who is in that fifth group? I think there’s a 
group of riders back there that are just dropped.   17 riders in that group. Enrich Mass back there. 
Uh so he will be a loser today there. Uh out of the top 20 GC guys. Also, Christian Rodriguez for 
Arca uh B&B hotels. Uh Kevin Balon should still be in this group here. 18 riders, guys. I wonder if 
we’re going to slowly start seeing all of the uh UAE riders pulling off. Ooh, Matteo Jorgensson out 
the back, folks. The plan is falling apart here. The plan is falling apart. I still see Campen 
Arts in the front group. And Jorgensson’s gone.   Camparts is in the front group. Uh, let’s have a 
quick look here. Can I see him? Well, I’m positive it’s camping cuz he always wears that super arrow 
helmet. I see Yonas. Uh, Matteo’s gone. So, guys, this is a big climb. We are going to be in the 
trees a lot of the way. So, this is going to be   like a forested climb, not like the term. Uh, we 
go through several switchbacks and then we kind of like break out into the open of the ski hill area. 
Switch backing back and forth. Some pretty nasty turns here. Uh, some pretty steep areas, too. 
Right to the very top. We go right to the very   top, too, of this HC climb. So, let’s keep an eye 
on this. I think I’ll try to zoom in a little bit here. Group five. Okay, that’s the 17 that have 
been dropped. Actually, I may need to use the map just because I can select the riders easier that 
way. Okay, they’re all coming back together there. That that tells me that the UAE freight 
train is putting the heat on now. Actually, and pretty cool here to see a couple of Decathlon 
riders coming to the front right beside the UAE   boys. These UAE guys are just working themselves 
so hard. They’re going to be start. It is Camparts up there. That is Camparts 100%. And they are 
not showing them in this group. Tatty, Vingo, Lipoitz only, Vakalon, Roick, G, Healey. There’s 
camp arts now. Again, it’s constantly refreshing itself, guys. Matteo Jorgensson 100% out 
the back. Uh he doesn’t even show up as a dot here. He might be close enough that he 
can work his way back on. Uh but right now,   I’m seeing 15 km to the finish. Is that right? 
And uh we’re in an 11% gradient here. Camponar is doing really well. He’s just sitting over on the 
far left when I’m looking at them. Tatty riding in second place on the far right. Yonas in the middle 
uh with two Decathlon riders right near him. Is Pogy going to put the beat down on 
Yonas, folks? Is he going to attack him   and put more time into him? Yonas sitting 
in fifth. Camponart’s in sixth right beside him. That looks like Kevin Bakalon sitting 
right on Yonas’ wheel. I can see Jonathan Narve is still there. That’s the guy 
that launched Tatty a couple days ago. Uh, okay guys, I’m trying to 
go back here a little bit. Okay. Yeah, they blast. Yeah, they did blast 
through the town. Stephen lives near and works   in St. Andrews at golf podcast. We got golf talk 
going on. I love it, guys. I’ve been lucky enough to meet four of my heroes. Kurt Haret, Steve 
Bowerard, where you from, dude? Steve Bowers, Clara Hughes is awesome, too. Clara Hughes, uh, 
two sport. I think she’s a two sport Olympic medalist for Canada. Speed skating and, uh, road 
cycling, I believe. Maybe she started out in track first. Uh, very distinctive. I mean, she’s got 
that red hair. You can always tell it’s Clara. Steve Bower. Yeah. Champion for Canada. Uh, yellow 
jersey wearer. Kurt Harnett, uh, bronze medalist. Yenvo. Okay. Okay. Well, that’s another new name 
in there, but everyone knows who Yenzi is. Uh R. Stanley blasted out a quick uh 7.7 miles. Dude, 
I’m definitely hitting the bike today because I   know it just even if it’s short, I’ll go I won. 
Means I can have an extra beer tonight or not. Guys, we got another stage tomorrow. Tomorrow’s 
the big stage in the Carcasson. Uh we have two   guys. Why don’t we take a quick look at that 
right now for tomorrow as they’re on the climb, guys. All that’s happening at the front is UAE 
is just grinding that group into the ground. Uh the heat is on. Tatty feels good. 16 riders 
left here now. Everyone’s trying all those guys in the top 10. They’re they have to hang on 
to defend their positions. But yeah, Matteo’s gone. Campart’s having an awesome ride to hang in 
there on a on the climb. My man Victor Camponarts. Took me a while to figure out what he was talking 
about. I forget who said that. Might have been Jay   Taylor. Might have been Jeff even. Uh yeah, that 
front group of 16 completely stretched out. If you’re on the back, you’re just barely hanging on 
here. You one rider ahead of Tatty. Right behind Tatty is Jonathan Narvay. Uh he’s going to launch 
Tatty. Yonas is going to try to go with him. I don’t know if he can. That remains to be seen. 
Uh Yonas is right on Pogy. Yeah, I think they’re getting ready to go here soon. Uh Los Ratitos is 
asking where’s Michael Woods right now. Uh he’s in a group further back. He is not in the GC group. 
He was in a breakaway earlier. Scored some good   points. I’ll track him down as soon as I can. Uh 
the golf podcast here. Kurt Harnett was a beast. raced in Quebec, Canada in the late 80s and early 
90s. Yeah, dude. It was so impressive to see him   and you’re like, I kind of think I got big legs. 
I’m I’m not the skinny tall guy with little stick legs. Kind of like skinny semi-overweight guy with 
big legs. Uh they make your legs look small. It’s like it’s like the France riders when you stand 
beside a track rider and you think you’re fast.   Yeah, you’re not. those guys. Uh, okay. So, 
Campon Arts goes over and grabs a bottle. I thought Jonathan was pulling off, but it looks 
like he’s just adjusting his shoes. I think he’s   tightening his shoes up for an attack. Tightening 
the shoes for the attack, folks. Um, up front, Aaron still up there. He’s got a 2 minute and 
26 second gap back to seven riders here. But the freight train’s coming, guys. Simon Yates riding 
solo, kind of dangling there. He’s dangling just 17 seconds ahead above the yellow jersey. So, 
either Simon’s going back downhill quick or he’s   trying to come back to help uh Yonas out here. I 
don’t know if it’s going to be any help right now. Hoping these guys stay away. I’d love to 
see, but I don’t think they will. Right now, looks like the Tatty group is just over 30 seconds 
behind the Chopias Johansson and Lenny Martinez group. Aaron’s been go dude. He’s actually got 
a big enough lead. He could stay away. If Tatty lets off at the pace Tatty’s going, he will be 
devoured. UAE is coming. Uh lead group will be swallowed by the other group in final kilometers 
of the climb. This will be interesting who still   have like Yeah. Who’s got something left at the 
end? So Aeronman’s being super brave here going for it representing Inos, but at the pace they’re 
coming, he won’t be able to stay away. Uh guys, I’ll probably jump back into bike ter and try 
to show you some of the climbs. That might be a   good time right now, actually. Uh yeah, Simon’s 
dropped. I’m not sure if he’s dropping back to help Yonas or he’s just blowing out at the 
front right now. Yonas riding right beside Tatty. Camparts just blew out the back gues. So 
Yonas is totally alone. So Vizma’s plan is to crack Tatty with the team. Yonas is totally alone. 
I think Jonathan Narvayz is still there for Tatty. He might have someone else with him, too. Let’s 
see what we can do for the cameras here. Yep, there’s a second uh UAE rider pacing Tatty right 
now. And then he’s got Jonathan off to one side. Uh okay, sir. Ivar is in Toronto. Okay, dude. 
Soon as you knew you said you knew Clara Hughes   in that, I’m like, you had to be Canadian. 
Sini with the light yellow. Absolutely, dude. Yeah, that’s right. Uh, medals for 
both summer and winter for Clara. Virtual Yellowstone is Yonas four minutes back. 
That means like a mechanical for Yonas to have   Yeah, Jonas is four minutes behind in the GC. 
It’s Tatty’s tour to win or lose. Uh, he just needs to stay upright, do his pace every day, 
don’t do anything crazy. Uh, Yonas has to finish four minutes ahead somewhere, which that’s not 
happening. Yeah, this is a serious climb, guys. 14 kilometers straight up. John Allen Xavier Havier 
is asking where to watch live. Dude, uh we just do an audio commentary here and I show you stats 
of where we’re going at. In fact, let’s go back to   the map, guys. We’re on the climb now. We’re in 
the switchbacks. Yeah, it’s going to be insane, guys. It’s going to be insane here. Uh just doing 
some stuff in the background here. If this works, spectate that again. So yeah, right now on my 
replay I’m slightly delayed. Simon Yates is just coming back into the fold. Let’s see here how he 
reacts to UAE going by. Just want to see this. Oh, this is really cool. Timerandsman. He’s up the 
road. Polka dot jersey group. Ben O’ Conor there, guys. They’re closing on this group so fast. Simon 
Yates go. Okay, so that’s that’s the second group on the road there. That’s Seep Cous I’m seeing 
there. Looks like Seep Cous is actually drifting   off the back of that group. Uh we’ll see Sept Cous 
here. He’s in this group, guys. We’re going to do a little bit of uh fun stuff here. Let’s jump in. 
Bike Terra again, guys. I just want to give you some perspective as to what’s going on here. Uh 
jumping into it now. Okay, so let’s jump to time and Aeronman. Uh doesn’t like when I jump back 
and forward like that. What I’m going to do, guys,   I’m just going to exit. This is the best way for 
me to do this for you. Uh, just let it populate. Yellow jersey leading group. I click on time 
and airman. So, he’s riding solo up this climb,   guys. Key thing to look at here is look at the uh 
the map on the bottom of the screen. I’m going to zoom it out a little bit for you. Now, you can 
see the climb up the Super Banè. Zoom in a bit. Check out these crazy switchbacks here. Here’s 
Aaron’s been riding alone. Now, we’re going to jump back to the chasing group, which is uh well, 
they’re saying there’s a chasing group here. Oh, Tobias Johansson. I’m sticking with this guy. 
Four riders there. They’re on the same switchback. Okay, sorry guys. I got lost in the trees there 
for a second. Uh, can they see him? They can’t see him yet. The yellow jersey group is coming. 
We’re going to go to Vocalon here. Uh, so yeah, here they all are together. There’s Tatty. The 
other guys must be just right up the road there. Let me jump back to them. We’re going to go back 
to Valentine Perry Ponch. It’s going to all jump   in. I think I think the yellow jersey group 
is just around that bend down there. Time’s still going for it. Okay. I’m just trying to get 
there’s like a little bump in that switch back. Uh yeah. So, he’s a bit ahead of them still. 
Here’s Tatty. Tatty’s riding this group here. Guys, we’ll come back to this shortly. So, they’re 
basically all on that same stretch there. Again, guys, let me know what you think about Bike Terra. 
I guess what I’m asking is Who I didn’t want to do that. Uh, let Bike Terra know what you think 
about Bike Terra. We’re back in, guys. Yeah. So, there’s that little bump I was talking about. I 
just saw that little bump in the switch back there uh that Time and Aaron just went through. 
Ooh, Lenny Martinez just blew up massively, guys. So, Lenny Martinez blew up from the 
second group. The third group has caught them. That should be the Tatty group there. I’m 
just looking forward to Yeah, I can see Tatty now. Tatty’s at the front here. Ben O Connors 
there. Yeah, UAE very impressed today. Now on the front is Jonathan Narvay. Dathlon riding. So, 
there’s still two UAE riders for Tatty there. Uh, wow guys, so many comments Julie is saying, “Why bother with the race? Just 
have a time trial.” Uh, yeah, 440 people here, guys. Love it. Woods is in group five. 
Yeah, he’s falling way off. Thank you,   Oliver Morab Chickic here, uh, helping 
me out here. So we got two UAE riders on the front with Tatty. Two Dathlon riders 
riding really strong here. So that would be   for Felix Gaul. Uh Yonas right beside Tatty 
just taking on another gel. Think how boring it must be taking all those gels in. Tatty 
looking very controlled here. Kevin Balon on Yonas’ wheel. Uh here’s Primos and uh Lipoitz. 
Lipoitz sitting right on Jonas’s wheel there. Sorry, Primos is real. Let me catch up, guys. 
Um, Evard saying, “I’m shocked you didn’t bring Raphael Micah to the tour.” Uh, Raphael, I 
just saw him racing at the Tour of Austria. Just that’s where he was racing instead of here. Uh, 
he said uh to the tour after last year’s year. He launched Tatty so hard no one could hold a wheel. 
Yeah, they’ve got such a strong team. Aaron still hanging on. Uh it’s saying here a 2 minute 30 
second gap possibly. Let’s see what they’re saying here. Well saying yeah it is. It’s 230 back 
to the chasing group. The chasing group is just three riders. Hot on their heels is the yellow 
jersey. Tatty Pagotch. Uh again this group here in Grenadier Rider in 12th place. Tobias Johansson 
in eighth place. Tatty’s group is going to start bringing some of the other GC riders back up. 
So, this could hurt Tobias’s run right now. Yeah, Dathlon doing really good here. Trying 
to figure out who all these guys. Let’s have   a quick look at them. Uh, so two Decathlon 
riders here. Felix G, ninth place overall. And who’s the other guy? C. Scotsson. Let’s take 
a look at this dude. He’s doing a lot of work. Uh, Australian rider here. 39th overall for Decathlon. 
Good job to him. He’s really helping out Gaul right now. Now UAE’s moved to the front. Really 
stringing it out. Looks like the Decathlon boys are just slowly drifting back. Yonas in fourth 
place. Vocalon in fifth on the road. Uh we do have helicopters up now because uh obviously I’m 
in a helicopter shot here. Early on it was mostly   motorbike shots. So now they’ve gone so far can’t 
even see who I’m looking at now. Uh, want to see if we can check anything out here. Yeah, this 
is cool. Love it. Chase group here. Back up to leading group time and errandsman. Oh yeah, that 
is so cool. I absolutely love that. Wonder if we see the tatty group down there. Guys, I’m back 
in Ber on the sidelines here. You guys can’t   see this yet. Um, but they’re in these crazy 
switchbacks here, uh, at the far west end of that really big switchback. And I’m trying to see, 
uh, show you where all the different riders are. So, those guys are up the road there. 
I’ll have to get this figured out. Yeah, looks like one of the transponders is reading 
weird here. So, it’s got time and errandsman   pasted already, which I don’t think he is. 
I’m going to come back to the race itself and figure this out. And know Aaron’s been 
still out there alone. So, a little bit of   transponder issues there again. Very first. This 
is the second time they’ve ever done this. So, it’s really cool to see though. Uh 
Willie wants to see if Yonas keeps up with Pogy at the finish. Yeah, I do too. 
I I mean, Yonas could potentially keep up, but the thing is he needs to he needs to do some 
damage to Pogy. He’s got four minutes to make up. uh at the rate they’re going, the yellow jersey 
will just blow right past Aaron there. Aaron has really to me has no chance of staying away at 
the pace that UAE setting. And the fact that   there’s still two UAE riders here, uh looking 
really good for Tatty. The years Jonas won, the team tore Tatty apart. Uh the time 
trial for Yonas was better back then, too. Aaronman knows he’s got it says here he’s got 7.7K 
to go, 7.3 over here. So, I’m 400 meters behind. He knows he’s going to get caught, but he’s still 
trying. There are some flatter gradients, though.   He’s in a section right now that looks like it’s 
about 2 or 3%. You can probably pull a bit more of a gap now. Uh Jeff saying here, I think Yonas 
has just one strategy. He’s going to try to stay with Pogy and he will look for an opportunity if 
something happens. Otherwise, he gets second place   and his team does not expect more. Yeah, you’re 
right, Jeff. He’s just hoping that Tatty something happens to Tatty. Tatty wakes up feeling terrible 
one day. Uh he didn’t eat right. He didn’t sleep right. Yonas can’t afford to attack really. 
And off the front is the Decathlon rider. Who is this going off the front for Decathlon? It’s 
not showing up on screen yet. It is Felix Gaul. So according to this, Felix Gaul went on attack. I 
haven’t seen it here yet. Uh let’s see if they’ve got it yet. G attacks the GC group. That’s 
live right now, guys. 1649. I’m at 8:49 in the morning. So, Gaul’s going. He’s trying to pick 
up some time here. Currently sits ninth overall. Believe he’s ninth overall. So, he wants to 
pick up some time. And he just rolls past the   three riders that were up front. The Tobias 
group. Cameras are all over the place now, guys. It’s getting really hectic up here. Tobias 
Johansson is the only one of those three that   were together that can go with him. I’m going 
to get to the map. See if I can show you this here. Uh up this awesome climb here. So, we’ve 
got Aaron out front. Second place. Here’s Felix Gaul. He’s just passed a couple of riders. Yeah. 
Johansson, Rodriguez, and Rubo. Uh Johansson tried to go with him. And who’s this? That looks 
like I think that was Jonathan Narvay. Yeah, it was Nar Narbias is already blown, but Tatty 
still has a rider left with him. Tatty still has a rider with him and I should identify who that 
is. So Tatty’s there. Who is this one teammate that’s left? I think it’s Civikov. I think it is 
Civicov. Uh so looks like he’s got his form back. Uh it’s got him gone now. So unless he just 
blew, that’s all unfolding right now, guys. There’s Oh, it’s Yates. It’s Yates 
there. Okay, so Yates again. Uh, he had a great time trial yesterday. He’s 
back. Tobias Johansson riding solo at the   moment. Felix Gaul trying to get some time. He’s 
hoping that they maybe they back off the pace at the front. And right now, I can see the yellow 
jersey breathing down Tobias Johansson’s neck. So, they’re here for the catch, folks. here for 
the catch. While I’m here, I’m going to do this. I will try to get back to the chat, guys, as quick 
as I can. Wow, this data is really good here. So, I’m over on Berra. He just took the switch back. 
And if we look at the map, he’s just finished that switch back there. So, it’s live live there. 
Not live, live. Um, watching from Halifax. Here’s Hogan. Dude, good to have you here. Hank 
Bohan’s back. Thanks again for the coverage. This   is better than many of the live TV channels, dude. 
Thank you so much. Been thinking about my favorite writers of all time. Two of my top, Greg Lamont 
and Peewee Herman. Yeah, I think Peewee Herman won the tour to France one year in one of his movies. 
Yeah, I love Greg Lamont. Kind of the guy that   got me into cycling. Um, guys, I kind of let this 
go back too far. I can’t find where Quinn Simmons is in the race. He’s probably way back in group 
four or five. Uh, he’ll be back in group five back here, dude. I would imagine. See if I can find him 
quickly for you here. Uh, no, he’s further back. He’s probably hanging out with the sprint group, 
uh, who are probably just coming through town.   I think they stopped for lunch back here in the 
town. Wow, they’re not even at the town yet. Uh, I got to say Quinn Simmons is in group six 
here. Just a survival day for Quinn today. There’s Tom’s coins. Remember, we lost Skeleos 
earlier today. He abandoned the tour. Okay, I’m going to jump back, you guys. I got to stay with 
the action at the front. Look at them on the Oh,   this might be a good time to check this out, 
guys. This might be a really good time to check this out. Uh, we’re coming here. Coming back 
here. Yellow jersey group. There should be more riders than that showing up. It all depends 
how the transponders work. Uh, where’s Tatty? Wow, this is so cool. I love this. Wow, they’re 
showing them really I think they actually the right color jerseys on, too. So, I need to 
jump back here. Uh, looks like Ben Healey is still with Tatty at this point. I’m going to check 
that. 12 riders left in this group. Tatty, Vingo, Lipoitz only, Vakalon. Yeah, Ben Healey is there. 
Okay. Felix Gaul two minutes behind uh Aaron. He’s got 5.4 km to go. Felix Gaul just dangling out in 
front. He’s 26 seconds ahead of them. Chat time. Yeah, I think Quinn’s further back in group six. 
10k. A lots can happen. Exactly. Tatty’s looking really strong though, guys. We’re starting to 
climb again. So, we’re getting back up into   the mists. The roads are all wet again now. 
Not just damp. The roads look quite wet here. It’s not raining. Uh, who is this out 
the back here? That’s a Total Energies Rider. Who is that? Is there a Total Energy 
Rider here? Uh, I can’t tell who that is. So, Adam Yates is pacing Tatty right now. 
6% gradient here, guys. Fans everywhere. Tatty’s in second, Yonas in third. That is 
either Primos or Lipoitz in fourth. Probably Lipoitz fourth place overall. Uh he’s already 
in third because Remo Renco pulled out. Aaron’s been still climbing. 7% gradient, guys. 
15 degrees Celsius here. It’s soaking wet. Uh Hogan loves the bike terror views. Okay, good. 
I hope they see that. Really hope they see that. Lenny the hero. Uh yeah, he got the uh polka dot 
jersey tape. Timman holds his gap and I hope he can stay away. I’m really hoping he can stay 
away. Went on the move early. Uh here’s Timman Arenssman. He’s at the front. So it looks like the 
transponder gotten fixed. Guys, this is so good. I I have to show you this. I told you earlier that 
we’d be in the trees for most of the way. Take   a look now what you’re seeing on screen here. Uh 
love it. We just came out of the trees here. Take a look down below. We just came out of the trees. 
Take a look at the map, too. You can see the tree uh indicators here on the map. The tree, whatever 
you want to call it. And you can see down below,   we’re we’re in the open now on the map. Talking 
about the map right here in the bottom right hand corner. This is totally tracking them. I’m 
actually looking down below here uh to see   if we can see anyone coming. He does have a 
two-minute gap. I don’t expect to see anyone. If we look up the road here, you can see it’s wide 
open all the way uh to illustrate what it looks like in the real world. Again, it’s browserbased. 
Uh sorry guys, I’m inside the wall there. Now, what I’ll do now is uh we’re going to jump back 
to Ben Healey. Ben Healey’s here. Tatty’s there. Uh a group of riders here. They’re probably not 
all going to be displayed. I’m not sure if this   is the actual locations, but it gives you an 
idea of what’s going on out there. Valon group says they’re behind group Valon. So, this group 
is chasing Oh, this is the Vocalon group here. I think we can also jump all the way back. I 
probably shouldn’t do this because it’s such a big jump. We’re going to jump back to Jonathan 
Milan. This is where you get the pop in, guys.   Uh you can see here, look at all the buildings 
on the road. They’re down in the valley. They haven’t even started the climb yet. Have not even 
started the climb yet. Going to bounce back to the front to Aaron’s been here riding solo by himself. 
Loving this, man. I cheer for these kinds of guys. Cheer for these kinds of guys. Uh take a look at 
the map in the bottom corner now and notice the location of his arrow pointer. He’s just starting 
this next big switch back here. Uh, Anzo saying, “You might need to refresh, Colin.” Okay, so uh, 
maybe there’s something going on here with the Times. Yeah, I think I can see something with the 
Times there. Back to the yellow jersey group. So,   Ansow is one of the developers. He’s 
actually in the chat right now. Uh, take a look at this here. You can see the yellow 
jersey group coming up around that switch point.   Switch back. They’ve just coming out of the 
trees right now. So, Aeronman just holding on, guys. I think I need to do a refresh over 
there. I heard that from Hansow. And let’s just see if everything’s still looking the way I was 
seeing it over there. Aaron’s been riding solo, guys. He’s got four kilometers to go. He’s being 
chased by Felix G 155 back. Uh 27. So there. Yeah, I think there was one rider missing between. 
So I did hear from Ansel. He says, “Colin,   you need you might need to refresh.” Um but 
guys, you get the gist of it of what you’re going to see over on Vera. Again, let me know in 
the comments what you guys think. Hogan saying,   “I love the bike terror reviews.” Lenny the hero. 
Thyman holds the gap. Hope Arisman can Yeah, everyone’s gonna cheer for Aaron here. Um, okay. 
New guy, Riwan, in my opinion, the Decathlon team this year did a dude, I think so, too. Felix 
Gaul, ninth place overall. Uh, lower budget team, guys. We’ve only got 300 meters of climbing left. 
We’ve got to climb 300 m in less than 4 km. So, it’s going to be a minimum of 7% gradient all 
the way. Yeah, that’s a tough one. Uh Joey Jojo is here again. Everyone, please like the video 
to help Colin’s videos reach more viewers. Thank   you for helping support what Colin loves 
to do. Hey guys, uh 537 people watching right now. I love to do this. I would do this 
over anything. I just have to make it viable. There’s a dude running on the side of the road 
with a yellow football helmet on and he’s got a   set of antlers on it. Like massive ones. What 
a psycho. Uh, looking for Diddy. Haven’t seen him yet. He would have been out there somewhere. 
Uh, yeah. Uh, like the video in honor of Joey’s, uh, h belated birthday because we’re going out 
to celebrate the birthday for the second time   today. Multiple birthdays around here. Jay 
Taylor. J Taylor’s just jumping in. Morning, y’all. Did a 5 and a half mile walk jog. They 
predict that. Oh, a heat index of 109. No thanks. Julius is saying he thinks uh Jonas’s wife 
killed some of the vibe on the team. Uh Ridan’s asking, “According to you, which team has 
it improved the most from last year?” Dude, you   know X right now just having a guy in the top 10. 
Absolute win for me. Uh I got to keep a close eye on this guys. So Aeron’s still going guys. Let’s 
jump to this map view here so you can see it. I might jump do a quick bike view again guys. Just I 
just want to show you again because I’m fascinated by this stuff. Take a look at the bubbles. Look 
where number one is. That’s Aeron’s been riding   solo. Okay. What we’re going to do now here, I’m 
going to do it off screen. Uh we’re going to e I’m going to exit there. I’m going to jump right 
back in to get on Aaron. I think every time I   leave and come back, I’m getting a little bit of a 
disconnect. Uh leading group Aaron right here. So, what I’ll do now, I’ll come back again here. Take 
a look at where the bumble the bubble the bumble the bubble for Aaron is right here on the middle 
of this long switchback. Now, we’ll jump into Terra and see how things line up. This is a test. 
By Terra, let’s go. Let’s go Berra. Uh, guys, it’s perfect. It’s perfect. You can see he’s just past 
the midpoint of that bubble. He’s just starting the next big switch back. He’s out in the open 
here. Again, guys, the simplified graphics. You can ride other platforms. They’re going to have 
more graphics. You can see here on the map, too,   the image, the symbols for trees here. You can 
actually see the tree symbols right there. That’s the trees right there. And if you notice here over 
on the right hand side, there’s trees there. Guys, don’t worry about the guy out front. That’s a real 
world rider who’s doing the course ahead of the   Prop Pelaton. Uh so guys, that’s what you’re able 
to do today on Bike Terra is you can ride the same course uh as the pros are riding right now. And 
look at uh Tim and Eronsman close on this solo bike terra rider. Saworth, whoever you are, dude. 
Nice job. Nice job, dude. I’m going to look down the course, you guys. The Pelaton is on that next 
uh that switch back just down below us there. What I need to do, I’m going to go to the yellow jersey 
group. Uh, we’ll say Tatty. Here they are, guys. I won’t be able to. Okay, so they’re they’re 
further down. So, they got to keep climbing up   it. Yeah, he’s got a good lead on them. He does 
have a good lead on them. Now, guys, we’ll jump back and we’ll get back in here. Just wanted to 
give you some perspective as to really where they   are. I think I need to do a quick update on this 
one here. Yeah, there we go. So, it’s updated now. So, he’s got a nice lead. Giver, dude, who’s 
cheering for Aaron. Okay, so my screen’s doing the funky chicken there. I just noticed. Uh, 
sometimes it doesn’t when I flip back and forward. Let’s just jump in the chat for a second here, 
guys. We’ll come we’ll come here. This should   reset it. 1 minute 40 second lead back to Gaul 
who’s just dangling ahead of the Pelaton here. Uh, Roger just out the back now. So, Primos, 
Johansson, and Ben Healey have just drifted   out the back. The elite of the elite are in 
the yellow jersey group here. Pogy, Yonas, I just saw Leapoitz. He just vanished. Uh, I’m 
sure he’s still there or he’s just slipping out   the back. So, guys, the two men and I’m looking 
back here on the replay here right now. Uh, that’s just a couple three 400 meters behind 
what’s actually going. Yonas is actually at   the front leading right now. Pogy sitting on his 
wheel and that’s Leapowitz in third. So the two men Yonas Fingo and Tatty Pogachar today Pagacher 
uh the two men that have finished one two at the Tour to France for the past five years. You can 
say it about both of them. One has three wins, one has two wins. Neither has finished lower than 
second. Uh they’re driving the front right now. Do not catch Diamond Arenssman. Do not catch him. Uh, 
Felix Gaul is just up the road a little bit. Uh, they would have caught him by this image. Catch 
up here, please. Time and Eronsman. Let’s go, buddy. Who’s cheering for Tim and Aaron? Uh, 
okay. I’m going to start catching up, guys. Uh, J Taylor Remco bailed out on the 
terminal, dude. He’s out of the tour. Yeah, just saying sometimes they 
just pull out. That’s true. Uh Elite Stuff is thinking that Yonas might get 
his first win today. Okay, so I’m a bit behind because you guys are saying five. 1.7 km here, 
guys, for Time and Aaron to uh win a stage at the Tour to France. I’m really hoping he can. 
And I’m seeing here Yonas puts in an attack,   folks. Uh slightly delayed. He’s at 2.2 to the 
finish. So that that’s actually pretty close. He does put an attack in on Tatty. Tatty easily 
keeps up with him. Uh that launched Felix and Florian and Lipawitz out the back. Tatty, sorry. 
Tatty just sitting on Yonas’s wheel. Yonas looking back. Aaron’s been flying, guys. Aaron’s says 1.5 
km to the finish. He does have a one minute 30 second lead. Wow. Awesome for Inos today. Awesome 
for Tim and Aaron. Uh, got to catch up, guys. Yep, that’s right. Uh, Tequila Sior. Yonas in front 
of Pogy. Uh, stay cool, Jay. Taylor, in that   Florida heat, 109 Fahrenheit. Got devoured. You’re 
right, Kurin. 8% gradient, guys. It has to stay a minimum of seven and seven to 8% gradient here 
to cover that uh elevation we’re going to gain. Okay, Jonas, full gas. He did put an attack in. Uh 
guys, like I said before, we should expect Tatty to win. Uh he’s the odds on favorite to 
win the tour to France. He’s been the dominant   rider this season. Uh I think if anyone can 
break him, it’s going to be quite shocking, but really good to see Yonas giving it a shot 
here. Uh Hans here saying 550 people watching. Boom. You got it, dude. I’m trying my best 
here. Uh, from what I’m seeing again, Yonas is   accelerating again. 5% gradient here and our buddy 
Thyman Arenssman is got one kilometer remaining, guys. 1 kilometer remaining. He’ll be way out 
into the open now. Uh, he should be anyways. Uh, let me take a look here. We need to refresh over 
here. I’m still trying to watch there. Just two   riders riding together. Yonas actually pulls 
over and he’s having a good look at Tatty here. Oh, that’s not what I want to do. Time and 
Eronsman should be wide out in the open now, guys. Uh if I can get a good look at it 
here, we’ll see what I can do. This is   worthwhile showing at this point. What we 
should do is go back to the Tatty group. So, just Tatty. And yeah, you can actually see 
riders in the distance there, guys. I’m on bike terror. I love using this. Back to the stage 
here, guys. 800 meters to go. Congratulations, Tim and Erandsman, for winning 
a stage at the Tour to France,   which some would call the hardest stage 
of this year’s tour. There’s a stage 19 later on that looks equally as hard, but so far, 
this has been the hardest day of the tour. Uh, yep. Uh, Timman gets the red flag, 
the uh the kite at one kilometer out. Nishi here is saying Leapitz is with Ghana. Ghana 
was gone on stage one. Uh Rudy Lopez is here. I give you Yeah, dude. Exactly. Rudy Rudy here looks 
like a new dude. I give Yonas credit for trying. Aaron is going to win. Yeah, golf podcast. You 
called it, dude. I’m watching it too here. Uh he’s 500 meters to the finish right now that I’m 
seeing. Uh let’s just You can have a look at the map view here, guys. Coming into the finish. 
You can see groups all over the road here. The heat’s on there. Going to jump back up to time and 
Aaron. See if this will refresh for me. Uh trying to get a refresh here. Jump back in there. Try 
to get on time as he crosses the finish. Guy 10% in this section he’s going through right now. Uh 
and it looks like I’m about 300 meters behind him. Yonas is still pushing hard with Tatty here. 
Yonas is out of the saddle. Tatty just seated. So, he’s doing good. Tatty looks well in control 
here for I kind of have an idea that Tatty’s just going to follow Yonas across the line. Um I 
don’t think he’s going to try to sprint him at the   line. It’s kind of like, you know, he knows he’s 
gotten him beaten. Why like rub it in even more? Gonna jump back to the yellow jersey group here. 
Gonna go on Yonas. Liberowitz group is not that far behind. They’re only about 70 m behind these 
two. Uh from what I’m seeing here, I’m probably   getting better data there. Uh so Lipoitz should 
be just behind the the areas. Lipoitz and Gaul riding together. Uh I would say they’re only a 
few seconds behind Tatty and Yonas. It says 10 seconds. So, congratulations uh Diamond Arensman 
for winning a stage at the Tour to France, dude. And going solo, going brave by yourself, not 
waiting. Uh no guts, no glory, man. No guts, no glory. Dream big, dare to fail. Yonas just riding 
all the way to the into the finish line with Tatty on his wheel. I don’t think Tatty’s going to go 
around him. What do you guys think? It’s flashing   up right now. Uh, stage winner, this dude here. 
Time and Aaron. Love it. Absolutely love it, guys. Um, go Yates, go Ben Healey, go only, guys. There 
might be some changes at the finish here. We’re just going to keep a close eye on this. Leapitz is 
doing really well. Yeah, Jeeoff, I think I think Tatty’s just following Yonas here to the finish. 
I I don’t even think there’ll be a sprint finish between the two of them. I think Yonas is going to 
cross the line for second. I think Tatty’s gonna   just creep across the line in third. Kind of like 
a, you know, he knows he’s got him beaten. Why would you want to rub it in anymore? You got to 
race with him for the rest of the year. Uh, in the   future, you may be on teams together. Tatty’s not 
going to do anything unless Yonas does anything. See, still see the Breton flags flying here. We 
are so far from there. Must be a fan that’s just   been chasing the whole tour. Really cloudy up 
at the top. Yeah, Aaron is the man today. Uh, if a stage win was possible, Pogy would attack. 
So, we’ve seen Aaron cross the white jersey. We’ll be watching for that soon. Yonas is out of the 
saddle looking at Tatty. I think he just wants   to make sure, dude, you’re not going to attack me, 
are you? Please don’t attack me. That’s what I’m seeing right now. I think Tatty’s like, “Dude, if 
I was Tatty, I said, dude, just don’t worry about it. I’m just going to sit here.” Um, let’s see 
if he sprints. He might. He’s very competitive. So, I’m watching it here now. I can see G. I 
think it’s Lipitz and Gaul just back in the clouds. Very hard to see them. Uh, yeah. Rudy’s 
got a radar. It looks like Pogy is delaying the inevitable. I’m a Yonas fan, but it feels like a 
cat that has the mouse by its tail. Yonas is ready for a sprint. Tatty sprints. Tatty does go. Prove 
me wrong. Tatty just accelerates past him. He’s more explosive than Yonas. Yonas is right there, 
but again, just on Tatty’s will, then he breaks. He’s just snapped a bit here. Looks like two bike 
lengths. So, Tatty proves he’s still stronger. Uh, yeah, it did take a couple seconds. So, Bruce 
is saying I’m wrong. Uh, took a took probably   two seconds out. Felix Gaul to come in next in 
fourth place. Fifth place. Looks like Leapowitz. Great win for the Inos team from Uncle Matty 
here. Absolutely. Another great day of racing.   Potty Pogy did. So yeah, guys, that’s delayed 
by about 3 400 meters. What I’m seeing. Yeah, Pogy did smoke him. When he went, he was gone. 
Oscar only. Uh coming to the line next two. Tatty gets second. Let’s look at the standings 
here, guys. Uh let’s see who we all got in. I   think we’ve only got six riders done so far. Yep. 
Six riders done so far. Uh Tim and errandsman, big win today for him. Poggy second. Uh they 
gave four seconds uh between the two here. Was it really 4 seconds? Maybe it was uh must be the 
time bonuses here. So if you look at the time, yeah, they are saying it’s four. They 
said he finished 40 5443 Vingo at 5447. And really cool by Tatty going over 
to shake time in Aaron’s hand. Uh like dude that’s your win. Tour to France 
shaking hands with Floren Leipoitz. Ben Healey coming across now. That typical 
climbing style of Ben Healey. Uh I think Healey is riding with Rodick. So 
let’s get this to refresh here. So yeah, we’ve seen Ben Healey come in 
seventh, Primos in eighth, Johansson in ninth, and Vocalon in 10th. So I think Vocalon is just 
drifting a little bit down here. Uh let’s just stay in the chat, guys. See what we can get 
going on here. Uh see what all the jersey   is going to say say. I do want to look at this 
though. Let’s take a look and see how long the green jersey group needs to be out there for. Cut 
off time is 42 minutes and the Green Jersey group is currently 28 minutes behind. And you know 
what? They’re just kind of starting the climb. They’re just starting it,   I think. Wow. Uh there may be riders in 
danger in that green jersey uh group. Uh yeah, and even these guys here, Matt Matteo 
Jorgensson losing huge time today. Huge time. That   10th place. I guess it depends what happens 
to him because he does have the rider in uh 13th place. Gear Martan is in 14th 
place. Ben Oconor in 16th. So Ben had a great start today and just kind of fell 
apart at the end. Jonathan Iva is back   here in 17th. Seuss went out strong and 
kind of uh faded at the end there, too. But yeah, take a look at these guys back here. 
Okay. Uh, getting back to the chat, guys. Uh, Bruce is just saying here, “Sorry, man. I got 
excited.” Agree. He probably didn’t need to. Yeah,   like I think if I was Tatty, like me, if 
I was in that exact same situation and I had like a 4m minute 10-second lead, I would 
just follow him across the line like, “Okay,   dude. Nice job. Congrats. We both had a good 
ride today.” Uh because Taddyy knows Tatty is the best right now, but there was a time 
when you want to beat him two years in a   row. Uh there’s got to be a level of respect 
there for each other. Uh Uncle Maddie saying, “Loving Leeitz, he is doing awesome.” Absolutely, 
dude. We’re going to see the GC here pretty quick. Uh Julius Caesar, Yonas Mingo, 64 million euros 
a year. Could they not afford an installer? Well, I don’t think he made Oh, €4 million euros a year. 
Sorry, dude. Sorry, dude. I thought you said 64. I   was not used to seeing the euro symbol out front 
there. I read the euros at the end. Uh, yeah, they couldn’t afford an installer for the floor, 
but he loved doing it apparently. Um, Rudy Lopez, my first time here. You do a great job. Thanks for 
dude. Rudy, thanks for being here. You added a lot   to the stream. Great comments. Really appreciate 
it. If everyone can like this channel before they leave today, I would love it. Uh, we got the boss 
upstairs, the project manager telling me I need to promote more. I’m a terrible promoter for myself. 
Um, Uncle Maddie, I still think Bora ends up three and four at the end of the tour. Okay. Well, 
Florian was fourth by default. Uh, he’s now third. He did finish right behind them there. I think 
Gaul was behind him. Actually, no. G finisheded in fourth today. Florian finished sixth. Fifth, but 
there’s only six seconds between him. Oscar only, great job again, finishing sixth. Healey in 
seventh. Rajick in eighth. Uh, yeah, dude. I think in the GC today, I think Felix, I think 
Lipo, sorry, Florian Lipowitz is in third in the GC right now. That’s my guess. Uh, because Ramco 
left. Looks like Aeron’s been still recovering. He’s got the heavy jacket on, trying to stay 
warm. Um, lots so many good comments, guys. Uh, big boy here. Big boy first timer 
here. Looks like no mercy from Pogy. None,   dude. He’ll take four seconds where 
he can get it. He didn’t need it, but I guess he wanted it. You know what? Little 
things like that can just tell Yonas, “Yeah, dude, you’re second this year.” That’s it. And once 
that gets in Yonas’s head, that’s it. It’s over. Um, June, I am good streaming chat group. Just 
finished my late dinner at a local beef stew just in time for the last minutes of the race. 
Thanks for being here, June. Really appreciate   it. Brett Rogers, yeah, no need to put Jonas down 
for a couple of seconds. I don’t disrespect Tatty for it, though. I think he really wants to break 
Yonas’s spirit, though. Yeah, dude. Exactly. So, these moments matter before the Elves. Yeah, 
guys, we still have some massive mountain stages   coming up. Why don’t we take a look at that right 
now? Can do that. uh the route. So, tomorrow it’s not an easy day. It’s only considered hilly, but 
we’ve got some climbs. We got two cat 3s and this cat 2 that’s going to set up a perfect perfect 
breakaway opportunity here for the breakaway artists. Then we’re into a rest day. So, Monday 
will be a day off. I don’t know what I’m going to do Monday now. Uh the day after the rest day, 
it’s not long to take on the giant of Provence, the Mong 2. So here we go. 171 km. Uh the first 
20 150 km of that stage are flat. The last 20 km are straight uphill. Uh this will probably be 
to me the toughest climb of the tour so far this year. I think the Vonto is really tough. That’s 
stage 16. Stage 17. I believe we’ve got more of a sprinty day. Yeah. Sprint slash This is set up 
for sprinters right here. Early sprint point. Keep the pace high. Breakaway group grows. Sprint teams 
chase them down and try to get them at the finish. 18 and 19 get horrifying. So stage 18. Oh, this is 
the Kersal de la. This one is a brutal climb here, guys. More climbing than today. 5,500 meters of 
climbing. Take a look at this puppy. Three HC’s in the same day. So, called the Gondon, called 
the Lataline, and uh the call the lot. The key thing to look at these, they’re all super long 
climbs. They’re not Well, the mataline is brutal. Uh the first one is 22 km of 5% just a long drag 
and that stage there too it’s climbing immediately uh call to maline 20 almost 20% 20 km at 8% 
gradient and then the coral I think this is the highest point of this of the tour this year 
the svenir degra her degra was the creator of the original tour to France this must be the 
high point of this year’s tour at 234 meters 26.4 km at 6.5% gradient. That is insane. 
And I think the next day after that’s tough, too. Yeah. We go to Llana. Uh, still 4 and 
a half thousand, guys. I’m still going to say it. I think anything could happen still. 
Wow. This is brut. Next week’s even harder, guys. Category two first climb. climbing 
immediately out of Albertville, uh, home of the Winter Olympics in I don’t remember now. Uh, 
then on with a category one, an HC, a category 2, the Corm de Roslond. I’ve heard of this one a lot. 
Uh, and we finish finish with an HC up LLA. Uh, lots going on, guys. Let me just get back 
here. I want to see the final results. So, that was today the route. Let’s go here again. 
And I think oh we’re not doing that. Uh okay, I’ll go to the classification over here. 
Overall classification after stage 14 POW to s uh Luchon Superbars we saw Aaron’s been win pogy 
second vingo Felix Gaul Lipoitz only Healey Roick Johansson and Bolon all the names we’ve seen 
before outside of Aaron in the top 10. General ranking though got Pogy in first. Uh Vingigo 
4 minutes 13. Lipawitz now in third place. Podium position for him. 755. Onley is about a 
minute and a half back into fourth place. Vocalon about another minute and 10 back into fifth. Roick 
sitting strong. They’re in sixth. So Rodri is very close to Vocalon. Uh he could move up potential 
for Primos to do. Okay, here Felix Golan seventh. Johansson is exactly where he started today. Back 
in eighth place. That’s where he started today. Ben Healey went from 11th I believe up to 9th. And 
Carlos Rodriguez, really good ride for him, too. I think he started in 12th or 13th today. Let’s 
take a look at this rider here. Yeah. So, you can see here he started today in uh 12th place. 
at the end of today, he’s in 10th place. So, really good ride out of him. Some of these riders 
that are just hanging back a little bit, that get dropped out of the main GC contenders group, 
uh, they’re only 30, 40 seconds down the road. So, let’s go back to Yeah, here’s the tracking 
here, and we will take a look at this, guys. See who else has came in. There’s 
our overall. Uh, jump into the chat here. Okay, Jay Taylor was there. 
I just missed that one. Okay, Jay’s saying the rumor is the 
Pelaton is a possible illness. Flu,   allergies, COVID, bad food. Usually, 
it’s a stomach illness that really affects everyone in the Pelaton. Like, 
when you start seeing guys get sick,   it’s a stomach bug that’s going around. Maybe 
they’re all eating in the same place. Who knows? Uh, Karin saying, “Thank you, sir.” No, thank you. Oh, yeah. Julius’s here saying, “Uh, Pogy makes 
apparently 8 million euros a year. Remco 5, Primos 4.5 million a year. Not a 
bad life.” Not a bad life at all. Uh, Brett saying, “Good to remind us to like 
because we just we forget. Just saw the count jump   when you reminded us.” Yeah. Uh, Brett, I can’t 
see the count at all. I’m stuck on two likes, so I don’t know what’s really going on. It’s kind 
of just, uh, but I never used to like saying it, but these streams are nice and long. I just kind 
of squeeze it in when I can. I don’t even really think about doing it. Iard saying, “Maybe 
Jonas may have asked for a sprint.” Well, possibly. John Rivas here. Dude, you look 
brand new to me. Thanks for being here. Nice   job. Thank you. Uh, Rudy Lopez, I agree, 
Brett. He should have more class. Yeah, I thought Tatty would have held back. Like, if 
I was in that exact same situation and I had a   four-minute lead, I would just let Yonas go 
across the line first. Uh Mark Solair, guys, is just finishing. I mean, I’m slightly delayed 
here. I think I’m slightly delayed by 30 seconds, something like that. But he’s just crossing 
the finish line now. Uh next rankings. Yeah. So, according to this, Mark 
Soler hasn’t even crossed yet.   hasn’t been updated yet. So, there we’re back to 
the stage rankings. Let’s go to general again. Actually, maybe it was on stage rankings there. 
Uh going to get through the chat again, guys. Uh Jun saying, “How about Yonas versus Julius 
possibly?” Uh yeah, Joey’s cheering you on, Brett. Uh yes, just like the video. Hit that 
bell, everyone. Yeah, guys, like the video. Uh, hit the bell button so you get your notifications 
when I’m going live. I usually post them live at   night. Uh, I don’t know when I’m doing it today 
because I’m gonna be out for supper tonight. So, I’m gonna have to do that before I go out 
tonight, plus all the other junk I got to   do around here. If you want to subscribe, do that, 
too. We’re almost at 30,000 subscribers now. Um, I’m going to keep streaming all the race action I 
can. We’re talking this. We’re talking the women’s tour of to France. Uh, we’re talking some 
one-day races in August. We’re talking more shorter stage races in August. We’re talking the 
entire Lavalta. I am doing uh I got orders from the boss. I’m doing all of Lavala. So that’ll be 
third week in August right into September. Uh see what else is out there. Tour down under starts 
in January. It’s not that far away. It’s kind of   horrifying really. Um Jun saying Yonas is older. 
Yeah, I think Yonas is 28 29. He is a couple years older than Pogy. Uh Jeff Five streaming. Yeah. 
Are we really at five hour streaming yet? Uh, yeah, we are. We’re over five hours, guys. Uh, I 
got up at 2:45 this morning to do this. And again, going off for Joey’s second dinner tonight. 
Cold elo. Yeah, that’s coming up. That’s going   to be brutal. Joey saying almost 28k views for 
today’s stream. Thanks everyone. Staged 12 the other day has almost 60,000 views. Uh she’s 
saying so thanks to to the collie the man the hair the legend lol. Yeah it’s just yeah I’m a 
legend in my own mind guys. Uh Joe’s saying Joe you just Joe we just finished dude. Joe here. 
Joe 512’s been here a lot. Uh good morning all cycling fans. Sorry I’m late. Uh we saw time 
and errandsman win today for Anos Grenaders. Tatty take second. Uh and Yonas in third. 
Just watching the dudes drink their cherry juice afterwards. I guess that’s the drink of 
choice. Cherry juice. I wonder if it actually   tastes good. But every single one of them drinks 
it. It’s probably like unflavored, unsweetened. Julius. Yeah, dude. Exactly. These 
guys seem Yeah, this is what I think, too. Good point here. Campart’s coming across. 
He whips his bottle out into the crowd. There’s probably going to be a brawl, like a mosh pit 
brawl for Victor Camponart’s bottle over there. He’s probably thinking, “Wow, I shouldn’t have 
thrown. I’ll probably get penalized for that.”   Full arrow helmets. Nice stash, dude. Love it. 
Uh yeah, Junior Pogy’s just testing Yonas. Maybe taunting him. I hope not, but uh we’ll see 
what happens. Evard here saying bonu is going to be more brutal. I agree on that that to me 
that’s probably the hardest cold de lootes that   day with the three HC’s is going to be murder on 
the pelaton and guys I still think at this point even after what I’ve seen today it just takes one 
bad day one bad day like and and I’m only talking about Pogy here because he’s hands down far and 
away the best right now um still showing camparts finishing he’s taking a long time getting up here 
looks like he might be slapping some hands maybe they’re reaching out for Campon Arts, the man, my 
man, Victor Camponauts. Uh, if Pogy has a bad day, it could flip. Looks like he’s not going 
to have a bad day, but you never know. Uh, June saying, “No one could be Pogy, but they do 
not play dirty tricks similar to stage 11.” Uh, Matteo cracked really bad. John Chady here. 
John, hope you have a great day, dude.   See you on Ruby at some point here when I ever 
get back on. My cycling is really suffering doing this. Uh thanks again Colin. Poll’s almost at a 
thousand. R Stanley from Oklahoma. Thank you for telling me that. I haven’t even looked at it, but 
uh let’s just see. Let’s take a look at the poll   results guys. I’m going to look at it right now. 
Poll today. What will happen today? Pogy extends his leads. 67% of you said yes, that will happen. 
Visma fights back 19%. That’s what I was thinking. Um, other GT contenders attack 8%. Well, some 
of us got it right because Tim and Erison won the stage today and there was a lot of dudes 
off the front. I think Matteo just crossed the   finish line. He’s quite a tall rider. He just 
crossed. Uh, looks like he lost 19 minutes, I think. Let me look at the stage here. I 
want to see if that will pop up immediately. 19 minutes down. Oh, stop doing that to 
me. Every rider that crosses it refreshes   it. Uh there’s Campon Arts across at 18 minutes. 
Matteo Jorgensson right there. Uh 34th place. Uh 19 minutes down just like I said. So he lost 19 
minutes today. Way down in the standings today. Just he’s not had a few good last days. 
6% said long range breakaway. Well, yeah, I I guess the long range breakaway and other GC 
contenders attack. We did see that all happen. Uh,   we had Tobias up the road. Uh, Felix Gwin on the 
attack. Florian Lipowitz was right there. So, Martinez will be happy to to keep 
that polka dot jersey. Um, yeah, poll’s almost at a thousand. Love it. I got 
to think of another good poll today. Uh, yeah, Elvinism here. Pogy got second while 
taking a rest at the Pyrenees. One more day   coming out of the Pyrenees, guys. kind of set 
up more to be a breakaway day tomorrow/sprint day. I think it’s going to be a breakaway. Uh I 
think I’m watching Machu Vanderpool finish now. Uh Jun saying, “Sorry, sir. At this stage, it 
is over. Pogy will win the 25 no tricks.” Yeah, I agree. It’s probably like 99.999% that Pogy’s 
going to win. It must be freezing up here. Uh, these guys will be like, you know, when you 
finish working out and you start that cool down,   you get really cold because you’re sweaty. 
Poggy has like a toque on. What’s a toque, guys? Woolen hat you put over your head. 
That’s what we call them in Canada. I want   one of these medals that they’re signing. Tim 
and Aaron’s been signing these gold medals. Uh, looks like they have the outline 
of France on them. Look awesome. Um, can Tatty break calav stage? Yeah, he can. He 
just has to stick around for a few more years. I think he only needs 15 more. Yeah, he’s in the 
20s now, I would believe. Calav’s record at 35. Very dominant. Shows Tatty hanging out here. Yeah,   this is great to see Tatty 
slapping uh time on the shoulder, you know, like he knows what it’s 
like. Think he even squeezed his thigh   there. I think he gave him a thigh 
squeeze. Yeah, looks pretty happy. Yeah. Uh, Bogi is just he’s cold when it comes to 
racing. Uh, but I think he’s a really nice, humble guy afterwards. Just looks so normal hanging out 
afterwards, sitting there waiting for the whole podium kind of stuff going on. Uh, Stuart here, 
good comment, Stuart. Uh, lots can happen in the third week. Cracks can appear from nowhere. 
Another quality stream. Thanks, Colin. Stuart,   thank you for being here. I think this might be 
your first comment. Everyone, don’t be afraid to comment. Uh if you’re just a cycling fan here and 
you know nothing about the racers, feel free to comment. Uh there’s tons of smart people here that 
know a little bit about cycling, uh that will be glad to help you out. Uh I’ll do the best I can. 
I don’t see all of them. I’m trying to cover all   the questions when I can. Guys, I think I’m going 
to have to probably jump off here. It’s uh Yeah, I’ve been going five and a half hours. Is it five? 
Yeah, I started at 4:00 a.m. and it’s 9:30. So, I’ve been going five and a half hours here 
non-stop talking. Okay, guys. Again, thank you for being here. Uh, the channel’s called Inside 
Cycling World. My name’s Colin. This is what I do. This is what I want to do. Uh, tons more racing 
coming up. Maybe you’re just a casual fan. Maybe you can help follow along at the ladies tour, 
which overlaps with the tour at the end. I don’t   know how I’m going to do that. They’re racing on 
the same two days next weekend. Uh Joe here saying the pearly cap looks great. Thanks Colin Joey in 
chat. Joe, thanks for joining in even though you   came a bit late today. Uh I will be setting the 
stream after after this. I don’t think we start as early tomorrow which is good because I’ll be 
out tonight. Uh probably fried by later today. Uh I don’t even know how I’m going to make it 
through supper, but we’ll do it folks. We will   do it. Power through. Power through. Joe is saying
