Will We See GC Fireworks on the Tourmalet? | Tour de France 2026 Stage 5 | THEMOVE+

going to the Tour de France when they have this coming superstar Paul Seixas,

“I think that's a really smart movement because it takes away pressure of Seixas,”

you know, it's not the whole team for him and now winning a stage early in the race. We all know what that does. It lifts up the whole morale of the team and I think great decision of Decathlon to take all of Coi to the Tour de France and

great for him to straightaway deliver the first time there's a bunch of print.

Everybody welcome back to the move plus I'm Spencer Martiname here with Johann Burneo. We are breaking down stage five of the Tour de France as well as predicting at stage six and giving our picks. Stage five was won by Olaf Coi over Max Cantor in Timberlear in the race's first bunch of print. Coi took it not really any lead out Johann and it didn't matter. He

“torched everybody. This was a dominant sprint from the 22 year old from the Netherlands I believe.”

I think it was his 51st pro victory, which is pretty shocking. It's his first time doing the Tour de France because he's been stuck on Visma and not able to race the Tour because they have other priorities. But Johann, what was your take of the day today? Dangerous day Spencer. Yeah, torsion train in Yellow still. Take of the day for me, a simple,

you know, we knew it was going to be an uneventful stage. The way Coi won this sprint was amazing.

Nobody had a lead out train except Max Cantor who's not considered as one of the top favorites in the sprint still got second today. Yeah, but so basically everybody was kind of drafting off the tree riders of Astana and the way Coi has made that decision when he was he was in third position and he looked back and he saw that the real sprinters, in this case Marlier and Philipsen, were not in his wheel. There were other secondary sprinters in his wheel and he started to go.

It looked like he was going from quite far, at least, you know, if you look at the frontal view. But turns out it was what 250 meters, maybe 300 max, but as far. So that was definitely my move of the day was that decision that Coi made to start the sprint early when he saw that the real sprinters were not there. The moment he went, I mean like Philipsen and Marlier were too far behind. Gidmai was up there also. They kind of at some point came closer, but if you look at the

finish the picture, you see it here behind me. As a friend of mine, famous Spanish commentator on

your report Antonio Alex would say, Olaf Coi was first second and third nobody and fourth Max

“counter. That's how dominate he was, but yeah, I mean, what a way to enter your first two”

the front, right? I was surprised to hear also 51 wins that was, that's a lot, that's a lot, but I mean, he made this move from Bismar to Decatlomb and then, Spencer, this is again one of the many examples of a rider who has been dealing with health issues, sometimes it's injury, sometimes it's sickness in this case here. Olaf Coi, it was a virus and he was not racing, he was not racing, he was not racing, everybody's asking, where's Olaf Coi, where is Olaf? Oh,

you know, he's tired, he can't race, he has a virus and then finally he shows up, I think it's the 28th of May, he did his first race so hardly a month ago, a month and a week ago, basically. That's his first race in a stage race in France, wins two of the three stages of two of the four stages, then does the two of Belgium, wins a stage against all the fastest printers, and now first, first bunch print and Olaf Coi, we did not talk about him yesterday, we were focused on

Timmerlead and Jasper Phillipson, but proof, Coi proved that wrong, we should have talked about him. We definitely should have talked about him, yeah, this is another example, it's fascinating, of a rider laid off, like laid up, can't ride, or can't race, races late, you know, just a month before the tour comes in looking better than he's ever looked, he's 24, I said he's 22, I was wrong, he's 24. Yeah, that makes more sense. I mean, who knows what's going to happen

in the rest of the tour, but you know, one thing I didn't want to say it on the move, I'll say, I'll say it here amongst friends, just be aware that like the sprinting life cycle is short, you know, this guy's 24, he looks incredibly strong, we perceive the guys we picked yesterday

and, you know, maybe this is unless, unless you're Mark Cavendish. Yeah, unless you're Mark Cavendish, I mean, he saw a sprinter's born and passed away from old age while he was still active,

“that's how long his career was. But, yeah, Olaf Coi, I mean, this, I don't think this is a”

blip, this look like in a rival of a real sprint superstar and to do it without a lead out, you know, on that, that to me, that was the most impressive thing. Yeah, I mean, you know, you have certain writers who are good at surfing the wheels, you know, being young, get a my is a great example of that. Today, both, both Philips and Merleer, didn't have the lead out train and they were a bit, they got a little bit lost, they were too far behind. And also Spencer,

I mean, another, another interesting piece of information. And this is without a big lead out train, which you would think normally, if there's two or three teams, let's say, if you have opposite and to the quick step with their lead out train, fighting for position, it's, you know, up to speed in the peloton, but even like this, the last kilometer of today's race, 68.7 kilometers average, the last kilometer, not a sprint, so not, not a sprint, the last kilometer.

I mean, that's, that's, that's insane. Yeah, and I would guess the last five K were over 60. I mean, this, we was so strong out. We, we couldn't believe how strong out this was so fast. We should

“also say, I think we talked about it on the move plus. I got it wrong on the move. I said he was a”

two million year old signing for DeCathon. He's a three million year old signing three million.

I was a year. I've heard three million. I've heard three million. Yeah, when he seems like a last year from Visma, but he won. So, what's it? I guess, right? I mean, they have at one, I mean, towards stage in a while. Yeah, I mean, for this in Fort DeCathon, it's, it's a great, and this is today, it's an amazing day for them, because they win a stage. I've also heard, I don't know, it's not confirmed. It's just a rumor. I've also heard

that Olaf Koy has a clause in his contract. Basically, look, if you see this kind of transfer, right? Spencer, if you see a guy like Olaf Koy, going to a French team, that's already, that's already strange. Although, yeah, I think we cannot consider DeCathon a typical traditional French team anymore, far from that. You know, Matthew Ricketello told me, for example, that they're, they're actually invited to not learn French. Everything is in his.

Which is, I think, great to get away from those traditional French teams who focus on the

tour, and they know that they're going to keep existing, because they're always going to be invited.

But anyway, to see that move from Koy, I mean, I think he probably was, could have stated Visma, and he, I'm pretty sure he had a very good contract there. Also, he just was not guaranteed to the frontspot. I mean, he was actually guaranteed not writing the tour, as long as you're not going for it. Yeah, it was a guy. It's a country. It's a material never go to the tour friends. I've heard that he has that clause in his contract, that he actually is entitled to write a tour

of France. I assume that means that when you're healthy and fit, right? So I don't know if that's true or not, it's a bit far fetched. I mean, it's difficult. In my opinion, it's, I mean, he, obviously, he probably has a really good agent who could probably try to negotiate that and

“enforce that. But as a team, I think as a team, you should never make those guarantees, unless”

it's like a guy who can, who will be on the podium. But in any case, I think independently, if there's that clause or not, the fact that they could long decide that to take all of going to the tour the France when they have this coming superstar Paul Seixas. I think that's a really smart movement because it takes away pressure of Seixas. You know, it's not the whole team for him. And now winning a stage early in the race, we all know what that does. It lifts up the whole morale of the

team. And I think a great decision of Decathlon to take all of going to the tour the France and

and great for him to straightaway deliver the first time there's a bunch, Brent. I agree. I love it.

Couldn't, couldn't love this more to get a win before the big peer and the end stage with a 19 year old GC leader who's going to be feeling some pressure. This has got to help, you know, and how the team's got to win in the back pocket. It also helps that, you know, because the concern is that you bring a sprinter has that fit in to the GC picture. But he can seemingly win stages without a big sprint lead out. So right there seems like, uh, you know, he probably had to

learn how to do that at advisement because he's going to a lot of stages like was he was at the

you know, they didn't have a full lead out trend. So he kind of had to be resourceful early on.

“I think it's a great. Didn't he win two stages last year in the duo? He did to at least two.”

Yeah. So maybe three. Yeah, but I mean, he has, he has, so there's two riders on the team who serve both purposes. You know, so there's done who and case ball, two Dutch guys also, or obviously around all of Coi, but also, and then in the other stages, do the job of whatever Florian Vermeerchen knew Paul it would do at UA, right? So I think, uh, yeah, I like, I like it, I like it, well deserved, well deserved victory. And then for the other guys, Timmerly here,

yes, for Phillips, and I just assume should we just conclude the crowd. There was a crash with what around five K to go, five point two K to go. So five point two K today was the five kilometer rule,

instead of a critical of a rule, which is two hundred meters outside of the five kilometers.

“Interesting. Um, and so, uh, yeah, I think, um, the fact Spencer that we saw three”

K to go quick step riders. I was still even, and Van Lerberg and Van Barla. And then also, Mathew, under the pool was, I don't know if he crashed, but he was obviously behind the crash, because he finished far down. Um, yeah, I mean, the, the lead out trains were gone. Again, going also didn't have a lead out train, but still, I think that obviously disorganized the whole bunch print and, uh, yeah, Merelyer, and we can't, I don't think we can judge, you know,

I still think they're the fastest guys, but, uh, did they go? We got the best of them. Yeah, I mean, Timmerlyer is a lot of his most important teammates were stuck in that crash. I guess, we're still even in Dylan Van Barles. So that's not ideal. One thing I did, I worked for a team one time, and the project I had was tracking every bunch print, like incredibly closely. And one of the findings was that a team at the front around four or five, who were more

K to go never wins. And you know, who was at the front first today? COVID-19 and UNOX, you know,

where they finished eighth and tenth. So you might think, like, oh, we'll just get to the front to stay in front of these crashes, but it's not that easy, because if you get to the front too early, you're almost doing yourself. You'd rather take the risk sitting further back, which is what suit our quick step usually does, right? They kind of move up late. Yeah, they do. They do. They're really good at, uh, at coming at the last moment. I mean, the fact that the crash was at five point

“two k to go, so, um, I think, you know, they were still in position, probably around 40 at position.”

I think that's probably where the crash happened. You could see also, you know, there was a gap in the peloton. I don't know which position, uh, we got you're came in. He was first of the guys who didn't make it in the first group. Um, and so I think about 40 guys probably. Um, so yeah, I mean, that, that, that obviously impacted the outcome, or at least we didn't have the sprint that we would have expected

to have. That doesn't take away anything from, you know, the amazing victory of all

of Koy and the way he did it. Yeah, it's okay. It's super impressive. Nothing, take nothing away from this man, because he, he reminded me, looked a little bit to me. It was like, it wind him at the clock, see in Mark Cavendish a little bit. It's just the initial gap where it's like, whoa, I thought this was a sprint. Well, I actually didn't race. Spencer, you know, another thing that happened that deck at long, because Mark Rancho, Mark Rancho from, uh, came from, uh, Astana, where he was actually,

you know, he came in to organize the whole project Mark Cavendish 35th victory at the tour. He's now at, uh, at deck at long. So interesting, interesting. I mean, they've really had a managerial overhaul that seems to be, as you said, bringing in people from outside the insular world of front cycling that seems to have helped quite a bit. Um, one, one big theme today, super hot again, like 100 degrees, 30, like high 30s, low hundreds in Fahrenheit, and there's this obsession with

cooling, you know, you see, like everybody getting these ice baths, they have special cooling trucks that they drive around. What do you think of this? Do you have any concerns about it? Well, I mean, I, I saw an interview of one of the Movistar directors, um, and, uh, so, uh, just a bit of information. So usually they go through, stays like they through 250 to 300 bottles per stage. Oh my god, for the team. So let's say eight riders. That's, that's seven

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, yeah, it's, I think it's like four bottles an hour or so, you know, four five bottles an hour, which is obviously just, you know, it's drinking or drinking and, yeah, dumping also, uh, and then, and then 100 kilos of ice per day. Whoa. Whoa. Uh, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's during this, that like before and during the stage, and after the stage, they have these, you know, special, some teams have special trucks with ice bats. I mean, I saw a really nice

setup from opposite. They have an amazing setup. They have like a special truck, and there's three,

like full-sized bots in there that are, you know, it's not like these little

“tubs that you have to go in. It's like a proper three bots and it's full with ice when they get in.”

It's, there's, there's a slinger spa. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, obviously, that's, you know, that's the, the new science has proven that, uh, you know, before we, we had no clue about this, you know, the more you can cool your body, the better you recover, and actually the better you perform. I've, I've read somewhere that if you can bring it down to, by one degree Celsius,

you can, you can gain 10% or if you, if it goes up, one, one Celsius, you lose 35 to 40 watts.

Yeah. Which is, which is, which is crazy. So obviously, performance-wise, it's, it's important. I think, you know, the cooler they can stay, the better. My concerns, however, is that this has gotten to a point now where, you know, ice, ice, ice, you know, obviously, when you're on the bike,

“it's nice to be always cool. But, you know, I think after 10 days,”

we'll have a lot of sick people with sort roads, like a lot, a lot. Uh, they're going to call me all fashion again, you know, but let me tell you, as a Belgian doctor, it's bust and now. No, I mean, it's, it's just that the air condition is going to kill you, ice, no, no, that's, that's not, no, that's not, that's not, no, okay, it's fine, okay. But, wow, let me tell you, let me, I'm going to tell you a story Spencer, you know, back in the days with Miguel Inderine,

Miguel Inderine, in the Tour de France, and this, you can also around, this is, this is fact. Miguel went in the car, in the team car, after the stage, AC was forbidden. No AC,

towel around the neck, towel around the neck and open the window, never AC, never. Well,

because he was, he was afraid to get sick, you know, anyways, I think it didn't make sense.

“But, um, I do remember that, you know, when I was a cyclist in the Tour de France, it's always been”

hot, maybe it's a bit hotter now, because the climate has changed. Don't say this to Donald Trump, because climate change is not real, the platform, don't you, too? Yeah, but, um, I do remember that, you know, a lot of cold water and pouring water out over your, all the time, all the time, after, I mean, after 10 days, you know, and again, you know, the body is getting depleted, you know, your immune system goes down, and you get so, a lot of people with colds, this is typical for the

Tour de France. Now, you can tell me what you want, whatever new science there is around now, but I think the human body still functions the same way. You know, if you're skinny and you're at the, on the limit and you have these, lots of massive amounts of cooling all the time, I mean, we should, we should, we should ask, we should ask around. I'm going to try to find out in the next few days, if they are worried about getting cold and sore throat, because of all the

cooling. Obviously, you know, they probably also trained for it, you know, the same way they trained the heat training, they probably also do cool training. So your body, yeah, has adapted to it, I'm pretty sure that's the case the same way that this massive entakes of carbs, you know, some say, some people say, some people do until 160 grams per hour. That's insane. Any normal person who would do that, you know, would, you know, not be two days without having

to go to the bathroom all the time. Oh, my Lord. Yeah, don't do that at home. Yeah, the professional endurance athletes are used to this, they trained their digestive system. So yeah, I'll ask around my initial, my initial take is cooling is good, but

if they could ever knock at the ice. So they just got like, what happens then? Like in the even, is it such a shark to the system? And if funny, you've mentioned that I, I believe in ACM, a big ACS, I'm an American, but as it tours Switzerland, sitting at hotel that had AC in the lobby in the hallway,

“but not the rooms because it's bad for you, right? And that's what they think is miserable.”

You know, it's 100 degrees out. Like, I don't know, anybody's getting any sleep. Go back to London. No AC anywhere. You know, it's hot, but there's no AC. And then I went into a place of his AC, and I did feel like I got sick. Do there's like, maybe it's crazy. Because,

oh, it's a, it is a shock to your system at first. So there could be something too Miguel Enderin,

maybe knew what he was talking about. Well, I mean obviously it isn't nowadays these guys are used to it. It's not, this is not the first time they're, they're cooling. You know, they've, they've been cooling on training. They've trained, they've all come from training camps. They've done the same thing on training, you know? Yes, they've all trained in the heat. So, yeah, this weekend said they, they have them eat. It's like seven grams of ice per kilo of

body weight for three hours before an effort. You know, so you're, you're consuming a lot of ice all of the time, even in training. So I would assume actually something that I've also heard

“and this is, you know, real science is that the best way to actually lowering your body”

temperature is through your intestines. Like, huh, yeah, that's how you can, like a massive amount, like big amounts of ice cold water or ice, once it gets into your digestive system, that's the best way to cool down your, your body temperature. Interesting. I know that. Well, there can be something to that. So for example, apparently it's, it's better to take like a, like a straight away half a bottle of ice cold water than little sips to produce that, that shock effect and, and have the

cooling. Interesting. Well, you don't have anything else on the stage before we move on to tomorrow.

No, not really. I mean, one thing, one thing that I was expecting, but finally, didn't, when I saw

the finish, you know, you have the sprint, the first, the first guys, and we saw straight away that there was gaps in the peloton, the yellow jersey was 20 seconds down, 6 hours was 9 seconds down, and then we see the group coming in for Gacha and Remko or the first two riders who come in at 14 seconds, and I counted in Vingigart, which is teammates, came in at 25 seconds. So I initially

“I thought they were going to give that gap of 11 seconds, which finally they didn't. So I think the”

rule, now they said that there has to be a gap of three seconds between riders for the time gap to count. And then in that case, if, for example, Jonas would have been three seconds behind the wheel in front of him, then he would have lost 11 seconds because yeah, I don't count three seconds. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So so the three seconds of the speed is a lot. Yeah, it's a, it's a big gap. It's a big gap. Yeah. There's a, they've essentially changed the rules

so that you almost could not be counted on a different time. It would have to be fundamentally a different group. Right. Well, so Spencer, you know, why did you know why they did that also because sometimes when it was really lined up, you know, sometimes people were like teammates of a rider, of a rival, they were on purpose leaving a gap, spit by bit and sitting up and at that high speed, if they're going 70k an hour, you try to try to close three seconds,

you know, or try to, I mean, before it was one second, right? So yeah, one second, that's that's easy.

That's easy to gap off a rider and if you're in 50, it's 60 position and you leave one second, you can lose 20 seconds to the first guys of the Palatau. Yep. You don't see it. You don't see GC containers up there is much, I feel like that was the trend a few years ago. It was every trying to be as far forward as possible. You don't see that as much anymore. Probably because I think it's, I think it's silly. Yeah. I mean, it's, it takes a lot of energy. It also depends a lot

on the nature of the finish, the last, the final, of course. And today with the five kilometer rule, which I think is great that they change, sometimes they change it from three to five kilometers, depending on the how they run into the finishes. I think it gives a little bit more tranquility and less nervousness amongst the favorites for the GC. I agree. I think it's a great change. By the way, look, Luke Spencer, who has, a look who has showed up. Oh, look at this guy. He wants to say

the stage. But he wants to do you think Bobby, what's your take on all of course, when today in the sprint? What do you think? It looks like something dark. Bobby. Bobby. Bobby. Oh, okay. He goes back on my lap. So, so we'll jump to, I know for all of you, I know our audience likes the, likes to see Bobby now and then, so they will get upset if there's no Bobby and like it. Well, we'll take a quick break and then we'll be right back. Everybody this episode is brought to you

“impactful than having the fastest bike or slickst wheels is sleep, and that's what Lagoon is best at,”

and sleep works exactly the same way as structured training. One bad night, just like one bad workout, it's not going to be a problem, but a training block where you're chronically under recovering is, and it starts with what your head is on for eight or more hours and night. Lagoon is a small company built by athletes for athletes, a former Olympic trial swimmer who tested over 60 pillows couldn't find one built with recovery in mind, so he built it himself. You can

start with a two-minute quiz that matches you to the right pillow for your sleep position and body type. Fully adjustable fill so you can dial in the exact height and support you need the result. You fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and start training days feeling better. And the date is real on this. Athletes sleeping under seven hours are 50% more likely to get injured mid-block, and that's not an insignificant number. That's a huge number actually.

“And that's why I've been loving my Lagoon Sleep pillows. They matched me with the”

otter and is a hot sleeper. I don't have a see this month, so I got to stay cool with something, and the otter is keeping my temperature regulated with the generic gel memory foam. And since switching, I've noticed waking up more fresh and it's easier to jump out of bed at 430 a.m. to watch the beginning of these stages. So for the riders looking to perform with this

tour recovery, it's not a nice to have. It's a critical piece of their arsenal.

And if you want to be like them, if you want to cover like Taday, go to LagoonSleep.com/the move and take a two-minute quiz. Use code, move, in OMOVE for 15% off Lagoon, the marginal game, gain you've been sleeping on. Okay, Yohan, we are back to preview stage six. Big, the only day in the Pyrenees, which is kind of weird, but I think they've borrowed from the Pyrenees to give us a few other mountain ranges, which I'm also excited about. But it's a 186 km stage. Over 4,000 meters of

climbing, that's incredibly hard. We go over the coldest, coldest bed, coldly, and then a little controversial in the move studio. We just sit and down and then we have a long 18 kilometer

“4% drag up to the finish line. I think it's going to be exciting, so people disagree with me. But”

if you do want a bet, because we're going to give out some picks here, you go to nextbets.com that's nxtbets.com/betoutcomes. And we have a landing page there, you can see they have a bedding guide, you can see where you can bet and my favorite thing is they have a widget. So you can just shop the best prices for every book right there. If we give our little update, Johann, the winner, Titipagotcher, it's funny to me this is fascinating so much. So two days ago, he was -3 days ago,

he was -350 when. Then the next day was -750. Yesterday was -650. He's losing, now is -575. People don't believe in Titia anymore. For the GC, for the overall. Yeah, it's why would that even be changing right now? It's fascinating. The big one that I noticed last night, the point's classification. Matt, we didn't talk about this in our show yet, but Matt's better said -120 to win the point's classification. So clearly the market thinks him getting all those points yesterday

and then Phillips and failing to get a bunch of points today means that matters. I mean,

So that's a huge, huge, I guess, like vote of confidence in him. I think that's right, Spencer.

“I think that's right. You know, if you look at, I mean, better said. Especially hard,”

we have to say after that demonstration of yesterday, better said is the only guy of all these riders who can take points on stages where none of these printers will be. And that's both in breakaways and for finishes in certain stages. So me, he already did it yesterday and then on in the sprint stages today, he was seven. So I mean, if I'm earlier, if I'm earlier, as I'm

earlier, what's third today? No, my anyway, my earlier doesn't go for the for the for the green jersey.

And Phillips and was what fifth? He was seventh seventh. So he gets 24 points. No, Philip Phillips and Phillips Phillips. Oh, Phillips and yeah, Phillips and fifth. Yeah. So here, the great example. Phillips and fifth, 30 points, better since seven, 24 points. So Phillips and gets six points on it. That's not enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Phillips and has to win these days to get enough of an advantage to then hold off Patterson on days like yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, in the issue is if you're Phillips and

let's say you win a stage, well, if Patterson's fourth, you know, you're gaining sure you're getting a 70 point win, but you're only gaining 35 points because Patterson could be gaining 35 points himself in fourth place. So this is Victor. This lead is huge. He's at 143 points. Second has been younger. My 79 points Max canter 77 Phillips and 72. But God, he's been him. He's been him. Is it through the Françrater? He is he is he isn't he's so much better than he has been the whole the whole season.

Well, I even went back and watched yesterday's stage last night and like, you know, he looks on unrecognizable in that break. Yeah. Yeah. It's not he's not looked like that all year and then he

shows up the tour. He looks incredible. And also I saw an interview of him before the stage and

obviously that's also what the tour does for you. You kind of get into a bubble. You feel good. Your your confidence grows he was he was extremely confident about his physical fitness and his chances

“to have success at the Tour de France. And so you know where he will not have success is tomorrow”

on stage six because it's a mountain. It actually will be real. There's a sprint point 60 K in we were wrong on the move. Little track will not control the peloton because they will want to break away too. Go so that that someone can take points away from their spread rivals. If the other spinners go in the breakaway, Matt's better single go in the breakaway, Matt's better

soon will probably go in the breakaway anyway to try to get those points. So we're going to have a

breakaway with some sprinters in it. It could be very hot. Hotly, toughly contested because you know if a sprinter doesn't get in their teams are going to have to chase it down so they can get in. And then we have two big climbs descent, another climb. Taddy Pagachar is a huge favorite. Minus 300 for the stage. Isaac Del Toro plus 1000 Jonas Finderguard plus 1500 valentine Perry Pantra plus 1800 pulse success plus 2200 Richard Careplus 2500 Lenny Martinez. I assume from

the breakaway plus 3000 Alex put on plus 5000 other breakaway rider. So it seemed like the market thinks this is going to be a GC stage which means one thing Taddy Pagachar winning. What do you think

“you're on? I think I think there's high chance of Spencer in other way. This stage is designed.”

A lot depends on the breakaway. There's going to be a breakaway but you know Aspa and Tudamale after each other those are two climbs where you know I mean it since the beginning of the stage is not super hard. There's not going to be there's going to be a lot of riders who don't go well uphill. So how much do they have to have of a gap before they start called Aspa? I don't know. Six, seven minutes, eight minutes maybe. Maybe more.

Yeah I mean if there's a good climber then maybe you know depends what happens but I expect there's going to be a big big battle on the Tudamale. It's such a hard climb you know it's going to be the three four five best riders that's it you know it's not going to be more. Then it depends you know well for example will Visma tomorrow I predict that Visma's going to try to have people in the breakaway like a Victor company arts for example will try to be in the break

to make it over the you remember this this stage this exact I mean more that's the same stage

Pogachar was Pogachar won the stage was the two of the one of the two is at Vingergart won but what Vannard was in the break and he did the whole downhill of the Tudamale the whole valley

and then Pogachar finally attacked and won the stage. I expect him to do the same thing.

You know I remember I was the day after actually it was the day after Jay Hindley won over the Murray Blanc and everybody expected that Jonas would now you know decide the two of the fronts on the Tudamale Pogachar look you know like he couldn't be bothered and then he he counter attacked on the last climb. It's the same kind of stage but the last climb is not a steep but we could expect the same strategy from Visma it would be in their interest that they have somebody

“in the breakaway and then the question is will you a lead it happen probably not?”

Oh he's no A but riders in the breakaway because he's going to pull for Pogachar when he gets over the Tudamale the Tudamale the Tudamale. Don't make Tudamale they can save the Tudamale the Tudamale and I mean there's Adam Yates and random naughty I mean these guys he's the temple who I mean it all depends whether you know listen if it's temple you will have four guys and yeah Visma will have three guys probably four guys maybe

also will be Jonas and but they are Jorgensen and Seb Kus and Pigan's Oli and then four UAE that probably the way if it's temple on the Tudamale right yeah but then who knows if Pogachar decides to attack I mean I wouldn't attack if I was him because he's probably not going to get rid of Jonas on the Tudamale and if he gets rid of him then there's going to be people with Jonas so yeah because after the Tudamale it's 18 kilometers downhill and an 18 kilometers

three four percent who knows I mean listen we this is Pogachar you know he can he can try I'm going to I'm going to go for Pogachar for the stage when Spencer it's you know even if everything stays together he's you know he's the fastest guy of these guys he has the biggest acceleration doesn't need to attack he can win with the late search I know yeah I'll ever

“five six seven seconds plus the bonification you know that's basically I think what the scenario”

that they're going to go for yeah it's a pretty good situation well if it's a sprint I'll win if it's if I win a attack I'll win then too it's a good price is a little tough for me minus 300 for yeah it is a bit of a goofy mountain stage I'm going to go he's a tutorial plus 1000 just in case it gets tactical on that that final climb is weird you know it's it's hard to

imagine exactly what's going to happen there if it if things get tactical it's always in UA's

you know arsenal that they can say okay you know like you guys want to sit around just for it's going to attack what are you going to do now you're going to chase him and lead out Pogachar are you going to let him go so I do think there's a possibility that happens so I'm going to go tutorial just because that price is so good in the Pogachar that's a good alternative Spencer that's a good alternative when when they can't shake each other and they supervise each other Pogachar

and and Jonas but then also Spencer I mean if the tutorial is in there how about Pogachar he could be he could he could win also he could win he is did I say he's plus 2200

“I think the problem with that is I think the tutorial is faster than among this finish”

the tutorial is faster yeah for sure for sure but and it's a success if it's a success attacks the tutorial follows he doesn't have to do any work he won't do any work yep and then it's an expensive what happens then then it's Vizma gonna if Vizma's gonna have to do the work and he doesn't have to do the work exactly who's left exactly yeah yeah yeah I don't know now I'm interested for this age yeah interesting yeah it's gonna be tactical I think if we don't

see a big attack on the turmalet I kind of don't exclude a big attack from Pogachar on the turmalet

and it would basically in the tour I mean it's never another never over but it's been one of the

things is that it's it's been already hard these five days you know it's already been people are already tired um today for example okay with the they were also thinking the palatone but the heat also

okay I'm quite excited for the stage I don't think it is at the tomorrow I think it's not a stage where the tour the France will be one but for sure we will have some guys who will lose time already that they will not be able to recuperate you know talking yes for example I mean I use

“so Ramco I think that's it's a it's a that's a complicated day for them it's a shake they are no”

in theory but I'm not excluding that they lose time and that one of them will not be there considerable considerable time yes basically their GC could be severely dented tomorrow yeah quite here's this torch and train hold yellow I think so yeah yeah you too and I don't know if you hurt the director during the during the broadcast the you see they feel confident that they will have it for quite some days I like that I hear that only thing else you on before we take off

we need to do ventantrivia oh ventantrivia I'm excited for this one too thank you oh ventantrivia brought to you by ventantrivia and so the day's trivia question correctly and you get entered to win a chance to win a $5,000 credit toward the ventantrivia of your choice they got the GS1 the NS1 they might have an ES1 I saw on Lance's garage it was like a but flat bars on it looks pretty sweet would recommend that one if you if you win this but the win you enter and then you can

enter every day the winner will be announced on air on the tours final stage on July 26 yesterday's question was when the tour finished in flaw in 2017 a Frenchman took the win on best deal day for the first time in 12 years who is the writer the answer was warm bargeal today's question starting to work out above we got to get through this today's question po has hosted the tour more times and almost any other city how many times has it been featured and we'll we'll answer that

“on air tomorrow if you want to answer and enter to win go to ventantrivia.com slash the move”

and when you're there use code the move ten for ten percent of anything on the site it's a I'm gonna hit a little hint to people it's a lot of times it seems like ho is in every tutor fronts I don't know the answer Spencer but I do know that po is featuring in the tour

almost always for the simple reason that logistically there are a lot of hotels I also found

out today for example that po is actually I mean there's probably this this ongoing agreement between po and the tour the France and the whole network of hotels it's not easy to find good hotels in the periods which can host like a lot of people there's a lot of really good hotels I mean for to the France standards there's often a rest they also at the tour the France I mean if it's traditional parkour's which is you know piranhas and alps or alps and piranhas there's

usually a rest they in po today I found out that they have to pay something to have the you know that this po has the finish of the day and then tomorrow the start I mean and they pay

very little money like if you look Barcelona I've read reports that they pay 9.5 million euros

to have to do the France start they could guess how much poor pace to have a start and finish it's funny you mentioned this because I I was thinking about it today they have extreme leverage because what's the tour going to do if they're not going to po exactly as in have them pay po could probably pay whatever they want I'm going to guess what is it 30,000 euros no no no no no 257 251 and then usually get arrested too which is worth a lot yeah yeah so it's it's a finished finish

and it's start it's I haven't checked it but I've heard today it's it's not a big I mean there's 80,000 people only in po I thought it was bigger yeah I was I was shocked I looked that up too could not be that and there's you know there's an airport there which is which is great in the

“piranhas you know a lot of people fly out of po and then you have to make a connection flight to”

to Paris or to somewhere else but yeah and to finish off Spencer I I'll ask Gabriel to put up this picture here 1990 my first tour of France this is a historic picture because it was a piranhas stage we went over the Murray block and this is me getting second and first ever Russian victory

at the Tour de France in the history of the Tour de Mété Cônechef never before a Russian rider

had one stage at the tour so this picture here is the the finish of that stage I had no chance against him in the sprint so I was I was by myself I attacked on the left little climb and I

all of a sudden Cônechef appear I said okay that's that's it I'm getting second but

“good memories you know hat no sunglasses pretty no sunglasses yeah that was the way we were”

back then right and right and fearlessly with our head in the wind I love the house this

morning without a helmet you know I got and I like put my leg over the bike and I was like you know I was like oh my god I don't have a helmet on and it feels very strange right really yeah

“it feels really weird yeah yeah I remember I remember back in the days I was you know I I was almost”

never wearing sunglasses maybe just at the end but almost never because I I was not used to it

and you know we didn't train with sunglasses if today I leave the house and I wouldn't have

“find my sunglasses I could go like yeah it would be almost impossible yeah that's fascinating well thanks”

Cône and we'll be back tomorrow to hopefully break down an interesting stage okay Spencer thanks all right talk to you later
