Original subtitles

And this year, once again, that will be our goal for Ben.

Ben's Tour will be a success if he places well in

the GC and puts on the yellow jersey even for a day.

In a Tour de France this year, I just want to show that I can race at the front again.

Ben's an aggressive rider with a strong character

who sometimes struggles to control his emotions.

Is he psychologically capable of taking all that pressure?

That's the question.

Fuck!

I'm not taking any medium.

I'm not doing anything.

You know the Tour.

Yeah.

You competed here last year.

The Tour is aggressive.

And that's good because there will be a lot of opportunities for us.

We can do things together and also individually to help you shine in the GC.

The dream is to finish with the best.

Every day in the top five.

Every day in the top five.

It's not impossible.

I think it's possible.

I mean, I was fourth before.

Why can I not beat this again?

We want to forget 2022.

We know that Ben had a tough Tour de France and difficulties here last year.

The crash and the injury.

So we formulated a plan with him to get him

in the best mindset to win the Tour this year.

We know that for a leader, the tiny details create victories.

Uh-huh.

And conversely, our small worries really move us further away from our goals.

Yeah.

So I really think it's important that your mind is calm.

OK.

We're working with Ben so he can control his emotions when things go wrong.

It's about knowing the right psychological approach

to get the rider in the best frame of mind.

Let's go outside and train.

OK.

Let's go?

Yeah, let's go.

Ben is confident.

He is ready to work.

My job is getting him fully focused so he's ready to go.

The challenge Ben has is that he deals with pressure in a different way.

Fuck this!

Fucking car!

Sometimes he just has to have a release valve where the emotions just come out.

I'm under no illusion that there will be days that will happen in Tour de France

where he's pissed at me, he's pissed at himself.

I fucking hate carving.

I could probably be more patient.

Right.

Ready?

I reckon we'll get it this time too.

Yeah, nailed it!

Yay!

Having my wife Sarah up with me keeps me stable.

This mountain's enormous though.

What is it?

That's Mont Blanc.

Is it?

Yeah.

I thought you'd be able to pick that up.

Yeah, same.

I was waiting for you to tell me.

I'm a person that does this a lot.

Emotionally.

The last year, I think I've become a bit smarter

in terms of dumbing down that reactivity.

I think it's a paid dividend with some results.

Everyone in the peloton knows that the Dauphiné is like a mini Tour de France.

It's very important to shine on the roads of the Dauphiné.

Denguegard wins again.

And Ben O'Connor takes third.

Ah Vincent!

Well done.

Yes, great.

Third.

Yeah, yeah.

Bravo.

Well done.

Ben is a young rider with real talent.

He's really proven himself within the team.

And our ambitions are very high.

Well, they have to be when you're competing in the Tour, don't they?

With Ben, we're hoping for great results in the general classification.

And in third place in the general classification, it's the Australian from

the Azure Desert Citroën team, Ben O'Connor.

So you're feeling good and ready leading into this Tour de France this year?

Yeah, no, I can't wait.

Just...

I mean, the thing is, everything's been perfect.

It's just been like tick, tick, tick, tick.

Yeah.

So... Yeah, I feel like we always get rocky starts, but it's nice.

This actually feels like everything's going smoothly.

I finished third behind yours, Vingegaard, two weeks before the Tour starts.

Gives you a ton of confidence to think, you know, in July, I'll be there with the best.

This stage is 100% Pyrenees Atlantique.

It's the first mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France.

So this is it.

The Pyrenees.

We shall see.

Great atmosphere.

So, guys, the Tour de France really starts for us from today.

A really important ride.

It's vital.

We hope that you can all bring us success.

It's down to you.

This stage kind of sets the precedent.

For where you hope to be at.

Not many Australians have ever worn the yellow jersey.

So to win a stage in the Tour de France and wear the yellow jersey, that would be...

Oh, that'd be sick.

But this year, my rival is here to win the Tour.

To do a mountain stage, I still feel like I look better than him.

That's it.

That's it.

My name's Jai Hindley.

I'm a rider for team Bora-Hansgrohe.

I'm from Perth.

Ben O'Connor is from Perth as well.

I've known him for a long time and, you know, one

of the best GC riders in the world at the moment.

But with any Aussie on any team, I mean, you always want to beat them.

Jai Hindley is an exceptional talent.

And he won the Giro d'Italia last year.

That is no easy feat.

On

the streets of Verona, right outside the

famous Roman amphitheatre, Vedi Vidi Hindley.

He wins the Giro d'Italia.

It has happened.

To win the Giro last year was massive.

I think it will always be, like, a career highlight for me.

And just for your self-belief, it's huge.

I've ridden two Vuelta's, four Giro's, but never the Tour.

Everyone wants to win the Tour, mate.

Period.

Like, you know what I mean?

You come from Australia.

It's not a cycling country.

You go from racing with, I don't know, maybe 20

guys who like racing, finger guard and pogo chart.

Like, it's a bit of a step up.

There's a lot of pressure for sure, but I just try to focus

on what I'm doing and perform the best I can for the team.

We have to do something.

Come with the Giro winner, Jai, and we start with big ambitions, big goals here.

But on the other hand, we missed the stage win last year.

It was new for me.

And it should be really our goal to win one this year.

Of course, we were bitterly disappointed that we didn't win a stage here last year.

It's my ambition, personally, that one day, as a manager and owner of a team,

I will win the Tour de France.

We need luck, but we also need commitment.

And I believe in you.

Good luck, guys.

Jai, you know, there could be a stage that really is good for you.

So how can we try to get there?

By trying to get into the breakaway on the wheels.

Save energy, think forward, and, you know, see what happens there.

I think there's no secret about it that Jumbo

Wismar and UEE have more money to spend.

But we want to be absolutely competitive.

We have to be more clever and search for our opportunity.

But with Jai, everybody's beatable.

I expect UEE will have a really hard time controlling who is going in the break.

And it might be a real chaos.

Do we want them to give him a hard time?

Yes.

Okay.

For me, there's only one rider to look for, and that's Tadej.

We want to try to go as fast as possible to the finish line, and then hopefully,

in the end, to drop him.

It's going to be a big day.

Three huge climbs, racing for 162.7 kilometers.

We're at the start of the Tour de France, and the time has come for all the climbers

to show off their skills and try to win the yellow jersey, too.

The mountain's always where I perform, but

Jai is one of the best climbers in the world.

The level is super high, but I think today could be my day.

So...

Three, two, one... C'est parti!

And we're off for the fifth stage of the Tour de France between Pau and Laurence.

Many teams want to get involved in the action.

It's the start of today's stage.

Twenty-four minutes past one.

Stage five of the Tour de France There's a chance between Paul and Laurence.

Today we've had non-stop attacks.

The pace was really, really fast.

You could feel that everyone is more motivated

and really wants to do something extra.

It looks like this is it.

The breakaway is forming.

The breakaway was on a mission.

It was 30 riders, really, really strong riders.

And on this terrain, really, really hard to follow.

And Ben O'Connor accelerates!

To make the breakaway, you have to be willing to

sacrifice yourself and to go head-to-head with Jai.

Follow the same spot.

One boy is going to be more motivated to win.

Come on, Jai.

In a race, you're always like a bit of a different character.

You have to be competitive.

You have to be willing.

You have to be, like, cutthroat, savage to make the break.

Jai Hindley joins a leading group.

I love that shit.

Maybe it's the Aussie in me.

Ben O'Connor doesn't make the breakaway.

I found myself kind of struggling, but I just

wanted to continue on with confidence and hope.

Really interesting to see what happens with Ben.

Team Lego stage hunting.

2 minutes 40 ahead of the peloton.

At the front of the race, there are about 37 riders in the leading group.

The Azure Desire Citroën team sets the tempo at the front.

Ben wasn't there that day.

He didn't make the breakaway.

But it was time to show everyone that the Azure Desire

Citroën colours were on the roads of the Tour de France.

And that we didn't come here to go strawberry picking.

The team's strategy is pretty simple.

It's to get a rider in the breakaway.

And then we believe there's a real possibility to win the stage.

Let's continue like this.

It's going well.

Good energy.

Teamwork.

You're working as a collective.

3 Azure Desire Citroën team riders at the front.

Jai just have to sit on the wheel.

Unintentionally, Ben O'Connor's team were like supporting Jai.

What it also says, like they're not really, really afraid of us, no?

They are doing their own race.

The easiest place to be in a bike race is on someone else's wheel.

If you're out front, you're putting in so much extra effort.

You're riding into the wind while the person behind you

is getting all of that shelter, all of that protection.

You're saving some 30 to 40% of your energy just by riding on someone else's wheel.

The Azure Desire started riding super hard tempo.

And I just stayed behind.

Didn't waste energy.

I knew that I needed to be as fresh as possible.

Behind, the Yellow Jersey group led by UAE Team Emirates.

Pogacar and Yates riding at the front.

Fengergaard is there too.

Ben O'Connor is no longer there.

He's struggling at the back of the peloton.

I felt terrible.

I didn't feel anything like myself.

I didn't feel like I was able to reach any of my capacity.

I couldn't go deep enough where you'd have this burn in your legs.

This like deep burn where it feels like you're doing muscle damage.

It was too much.

And yeah, that was it.

So at the front of the race then.

And now the attack goes.

Jai Hindley has all of Australia hooked.

It's all out now.

It's all out.

And now Jai Hindley's attacking.

The Australian may be going for the Yellow Jersey.

Fucking good job.

Now every second counts for Jai Hindley.

I was just going all out.

And looking back I was just committed.

But I was pretty much dying.

I think there was extra motivation.

Not just in Jai though.

But throughout the whole team.

Will he be able to keep up this pace?

There's now a 90 second gap from the group of favourites.

A group with just three riders left.

Sepp Kuss, Jonas Vengergaard and Tadej Pogacar.

Quite some riders still in front.

Jonas, you know what to do.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Attack of Jonas Vengergaard.

He leaves everybody behind.

Tadej Pogacar is unable to match the Danes' acceleration.

We sensed some kind of weakness there.

And then we tried to go as hard as possible to the top of the climb.

We

were like, fuck, what was that?

Jonas was flying that day.

I tried to follow but it was just a little bit too much.

He just tried to limit the losses.

Jonas Vengergaard accelerates again at the summit of the Col de Marie Blanc.

He's flying.

A lot of people in the last care of the climb.

Come on, you're flying again.

Every second counts for Hindley at the top of this mountain.

Now you have this real game of cat and mouse.

On the top of the climb, I just wanted to go as fast as possible to the finish line.

Come on, Jai.

50, one second, five, one second, that's five kilometers.

Come on, Jai, you bring that home.

You want to support your rider, you know, calm him down.

Kind of like push him but, you know, just make sure that he doesn't overdo it.

Because if you think about it, everything you train for, everything you

eat, everything you do is for that yellow jersey.

Jai Hindley is flying down the hill.

The tiniest error at the front could now lose him the race.

Come on.

Come on, 40 seconds, 40 seconds.

Jai, absolutely everything.

You have to dive deep.

It's like a fucking final of your life.

Come on.

It has to have a good ending.

You have to bring it home.

Come on.

You have to push like crazy.

In my mind, I didn't want to play any games or anything.

I wasn't really thinking about finger guard, chasing the heat down.

When you're battling for the win, your instincts take over and you know what

you're doing, but you have like no control over it.

Your body's just on autopilot.

Finger guard is closing in.

43 seconds behind.

You have to push yourself over the limit.

It's more a fight with yourself.

Fucking legend, Jonas.

You're a fucking legend.

Really, really strong.

Head down, stair arrow and concentrate on your power output.

Come on, mate.

All out there.

All out until the finish.

Come on.

Jonas' finger guard can't do it.

Finger guard is on his limit chasing Hindley.

At 27, the rider from Perth in his Tour de France

debut wins in Lowrance at the end of this fifth stage.

And Jai Hindley will become the eighth Australian

to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.

Only stage in the Tour de France.

And you know what?

You have the yellow jersey.

Jai Hindley was the strongest and smartest today.

What a day for Borough Hands grower.

It was sensational.

It's just a yellow jersey.

But at the same time, it is the most iconic thing in our sport.

It was such an emotional moment for me, really.

Fuck yeah!

That's not every day you get to wear a stage at the Tour de France.

It's just like a surreal experience.

To also take the jersey in your debut tour, it's like an incredible feeling.

Like, really incredible.

I still don't believe it now.

Finger guard comes in fifth, 34 seconds behind Hindley.

I think you took one minute and five seconds on Pogacar.

You took one minute and five seconds on Pogacar.

And here comes the next group, led by another Australian, Ben O'Connor.

Well done, well done, guys.

Ben is in the general classification with Clement and everyone else.

Great stage, guys, great stage.

Good job, good job.

Jai Hindley claims the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.

Jonas Wengergaard is just behind.

Ben O'Connor comes in over three minutes behind.

On the one hand, Jai Hindley sends a message to the favourites with this win.

But on the other, we're beginning to wonder if Ben O'Connor can get the top five again.

Jai won.

You know what Jai won the stage?

I did hear.

Has he got the other jersey?

Yeah, yeah.

He was incredible, he was, yeah.

So what happened was now, O'Rellin came over,

like, pulling full gas in the breakaway.

Yeah, but wasn't... Jai was right behind.

I mean, he was the perfect there for Jai.

Jai should be riding.

Jai did do anything.

When I heard that we helped Jai, I was actually just angry in general.

Every second counts.

And the fact that Jai didn't have to do any work.

He, at all, in the stage, he just sat on the wheels.

Felt, uh...

Felt a little rough.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jai Hindley!

The first Tour de France for Jai Hindley, and the Australian

makes his mark from the fifth stage and takes the yellow jersey.

At the end of the day, it's not good for us.

I'm happy for him.

No, no.

That's what happened?

We're not happy, are we?

It's not a problem.

We're just talking it through.

No drama, you know?

Come on.

There's no problem.

Just give me a minute.

Okay, carry on.

I'm interested to see this replay.

Ben and Jai Hindley, they lock horns.

There's a rivalry.

Yeah.

And I think that ups the pressure for Ben, you know?

I know.

Well, I'm trying to explain why the pressure's mounting on Ben, you see?

But it's the Tour de France.

It's not an inter-Australia race, you know?

Yeah, I know.

I'm just saying it's tricky for him.

Ben's the first to be disappointed when things go badly.

Ben is emotional, highly strung.

And he is nervy, like sport heroes often are, like racehorses.

They're not calm, are they?

I just want to know what happened in general.

Why did Jai not have to ride at any moment?

Because you're used to Jai.

Jai's, like, one of the best riders in the world.

Yeah, I know.

I feel betrayed now.

A little bit.

No, it's not betrayed, but it's still... Yeah, but it's... Wait, Ben, stop.

Take a breath.

I understand champions' egos, and they're important.

You have to have a strong personality.

I get that Ben's disappointed and might be thinking,

Fuck, why did Jodie make us ride as a team today?

One of the favourites for the general

classification was out ahead, taking seconds off me.

Why weren't we challenging him there?

We could have gained on Hindley, and then things could have turned out differently.

The rider's vision is blinkered.

But we see the bigger picture.

And we have to manage things for the whole team.

I'm a little annoyed.

I'm annoyed.

Jai won the Giro.

And he's here for the GC.

So why are we helping him?

I know it is a bit of pill to swallow, Ben.

It is.

It is.

It's just... Yeah, I know it is.

It's so fucking frustrating when you see...

another guy win...

who you know you can fight with.

But that's how it is.

He was gifted.

No, he wasn't gifted.

But, you know, like you said... He didn't pull a turn.

I know he didn't.

For me, it's not a really big deal.

The priority was for your legs to be good today.

And not to worry about Hindley.

Although Felix shouldn't have ridden with Hindley, I know.

Just don't stress about that, Ben.

You know?

Focus on tomorrow.

No, no, no.

No, I get it.

Don't stress.

It's important to talk things through.

It's a big error.

No, it's not a big error.

It's no big deal.

It's a small error.

It really is.

Yeah, I mean, I wasn't good enough.

It's a small error.

It is a small error.

It's not like they fucking... they pulled the jersey off, you know?

It's like... No, no.

I know, and I still lost time.

Yeah.

And it's shit.

I'm, like, fucking annoying.

Major.

And I'm not, like, super happy.

Yeah, but you're improving.

Yeah, but I'm still not good enough.

Yeah, but it comes.

It comes.

Yeah, it will.

It's just annoying.

Yeah.

It's a slow process.

It's a slow process.

Okay, okay, now...

The smile.

Okay?

All right.

We're pretty far behind on the clock, so there's frustration.

But we know Ben's character.

In terms of strategy, we know that with just a few hours to go before the start of

stage six, it's clear that our goal is for Ben

to stay focused on the general classification.

So we're not that far into the tour and now we've got stage six coming up.

So what I'm saying is that yes, there's concern and there's frustration,

but I'm positive and there's a possibility that we're still contenders for the GC.

He's doing okay.

We're right.

You looked strong.

I felt strong last night.

It was a good day.

One acceleration, I took a lot of confidence from Horace.

Today we really saw that when he's tired... He doesn't have the same...

He doesn't have the same acceleration.

It would have been really nice.

He would have done better on the stage.

Yeah, yeah.

But that was perfect though.

I think they will have quite a hard time.

And yeah, you should really be confident.

I think you are the strongest.

We didn't win the stage, but it was a very, very good day for us.

Pogacar had a lesser day.

The gap is a very nice margin.

But of course, Jai, we see him as a threat for the GC battle.

He's in the yellow jersey.

He is a marked man for Jumbo.

We don't let him go in the breakaway again.

Good.

Yep.

See you at dinner.

Yes.

Yesterday's stage was a treat.

Jai Hindley is now the leader of the Tour de France.

Morning boys.

Morning.

Hey, hello.

Morning.

Is that good?

What does he have more to lose?

Yeah, you have to get a jersey, right?

You're leading like the biggest bike race in the world.

So like all eyes are on you.

And all the attention is on you.

All the media, all the spotlights, everything.

And it's just like crazy.

But at the same time, like really cool.

XS1.

Yeah.

XS1.

Too many calls, like, XS1.

I wanted to stay in the jersey for as long as possible.

Really fucking cool.

Yesterday's mistakes were small errors, but you need to know what they are.

So that you'll learn.

Feeling like semi-confident.

The day before wasn't really good.

But at the same time, I can see myself doing what Jai can do.

You can feel jealous he got the other jersey on the stage win.

But it's important to look at why it was better.

I know exactly what I need to do.

I still live with that hope.

I can fight with the best.

He spent a lot of energy.

So...

We need to be really careful.

Especially on this stage.

Things started badly for Tadej Pogacar.

He took a big uppercut, but he's a wounded animal.

And he will seize every opportunity to try and make up for lost time.

Be focused and don't spend any energy.

This is our goal.

I'm really motivated.

Thinking how to improve.

How I can do better.

And how not to have a bad day.

I want to come back.

I want to win.

I want to take the yellow jersey.

It will be a very hard stage.

Pogacar was on his knees yesterday.

If we can do what we were just talking about.

We will get Pogacar in the zone.

Where we believe that he is tired and cannot respond anymore.

Our goal is not to have again Hindley in the break.

Because that's not a good situation for us.

Pogacar is the biggest opponent.

But Jai Hindley is a very, very good rider.

So we have a plan of making the race hard.

Yes?

Yes.

Great.

Come on.

Let's take a look at what is on the menu for the riders today.

In reality, it's a lot worse than it looks.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Let's go!

Stage 6 is underway.

Is Jai Hindley the third man of the Tour de France?

Could he win the race?

I knew it wasn't going to be easy.

But I was really keen to fight for the jersey.

And to hold on to it for as long as I could.

We want to be in the front.

We kind of like try to shut down as good as we can.

Show a strong presence as a team.

And just make sure we stay in control.

That's it.

Good job.

Good job, Ben.

Yep.

We eat.

We drink.

We eat.

We drink.

I actually felt really, really good.

I was thinking things will turn.

And it will come your way.

Just fight it out.

After yesterday's fireworks, it's time for Jai Hindley to defend the yellow jersey.

And he can count on the whole Borough Hands grower team.

I was in a pretty good spot.

But I didn't really know how Jumbo was going to do it.

And after the bottle point, we take over and we ride tempo.

I said hard tempo because that's good for us.

That's what we want to do.

We wanted to have a hard race.

The Tourmalet is very long.

It's very rugged.

And above all, it's the stuff of legend.

There are so many kilometers on which to spring an attack.

And for a lot of riders, it's scary.

The Tourmalet ascent is never easy.

And even going slow, it's hellish.

And Team Jumbo Visma are really setting the pace now at the front of the peloton.

We just follow, follow, follow.

We just have to be glued to the wheel.

The Tourmalet is just like a monster.

A real mental grind and a real physical battle.

Come on, Ben.

You've got to keep going.

Go, go.

It was simple.

It was just purely stay with the yellow jersey as long as possible.

But at the same time, I knew Jumbo were going to make the race very, very hard.

Now we really put the Emma down.

Now we really put the Emma down.

It's havoc right now and we haven't even reached the summit.

The pace has suddenly lit up.

Yes!

Jumbo Visma have made the acceleration.

The light has been put on.

On Tourmalet, it felt terrible.

Simple as that.

But it was done.

And Ben O'Connor is distanced.

O'Connor is already dropped.

O'Connor is already dropped.

GC is over.

I just completely exploded.

They've all been destroyed.

Everybody's on their knees, sir.

Everybody's on their knees.

Come on!

It's impressive to see the damage being done.

Our primary goal was to defend the yellow jersey.

But in the end, for the last three kilometers over the Tourmalet,

the sheer speed was so high.

And the yellow jersey is distanced.

Hindley is dropping.

Hindley is dropping.

Only Pogacar with you guys.

Have dropped the yellow jersey.

The yellow jersey, giant leap.

I was pretty uncomfortable.

It's just like dying on the wheels.

If I stayed on, then I would have completely exploded.

I could still save it a bit, but I...

Yeah, like killed me, basically.

The pace is absolutely electric on the Tourmalet.

Now you really put Pogacar on the limit.

You really put Pogacar on the limit.

It's what we've been waiting for.

Finger guards attack.

And Tadej Pogacar reacts.

He's hanging on for now.

It's the head-to-head we were waiting for.

Jumbo thought that I'm not in good shape.

So they tried to really crack me, nail me to the ground.

But I didn't want to give up on that stage.

Pogacar is on the Danish rider's wheel.

But for how long?

You can't drop him here.

You still have the last climb.

But he will be on absolute on his limit now.

Three seconds behind.

Pogacar doesn't look like he's having a great day.

Wheel power today and concentrate.

Everybody in the hurt box now.

They're dropping behind.

The day before I was able to drop him.

We were thinking that hopefully we could do it again.

Just try to go as hard as possible to the top.

There we go.

There's the attack.

This is the move.

Jonas Vengergaard jumps and Pogacar this time reacts.

And just sits and squeezes on the pedals.

Pogacar is suffering, Jonas.

Pogacar is suffering.

Pogacar is fighting back for now.

But how much longer can he keep going?

Pogacar attacks.

Vengergaard surprised.

Pogacar rips it now up this mountain.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Tani Pogacar shoots to the finish line like a bullet.

Like that.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Pogacar is disappearing in a blaze of smoke.

Jonas was overconfident and he thought that I'm mentally broken.

But I saved my legs.

For a final climb.

Don twenty five seconds above Vengergaard.

Vengergaard's run up in two sequences.

Pogacar is determined to beat Pogacar in a sprint to heaven.

Seconds ahead of Vengergaard.

Come on.

Come on.

You can't see him.

He's coming now.

That's it.

Keep going.

End of second.

Going to be a front.

You're nearly there.

You're nearly there.

Come on Thomas.

All out till the finish.

All out till the finish.

It's coming.

This is it, to the finish!

Come on, mate.

To the finish line.

Go, go, go, go.

A resurgent Tadej Pogacar has put a blow to the hopes of Wengergaard.

Stage six, take a bow.

Bravo, mate.

That's it.

That's it.

Congratulations.

Go, guys.

Go, guys.

Tadej won the stage.

It's one of Tadej Pogacar's key characteristics.

He's a big personality who never gives up.

Psychologically, he's a machine.

Alone.

Good job, guys.

Good job.

Bravo, Tadej.

Stage six was confirmation that I can fight for the yellow jersey in the Tour.

Here comes Jonas Wengergaard.

He's going to take the yellow jersey, but with a much smaller lead than anticipated.

Half a minute left.

I think.

Cool.

Victory for Tadej Pogacar.

I was a bit disappointed after the stage.

We had a big master plan for that day and it didn't turn out as we wanted.

Jai Hindley at the finish.

The tourmalet got the better of him.

But he's still going to fight for third place in the general classification.

Come on, Jai.

Come on.

Fast 50 is slightly uphill.

You bring it to the line.

The second counts.

I was thinking, jersey's gone, but I've still got that Tour to ride.

And I just wanted to be fighting for the podium spot.

Jai Hindley attacks to save his honour.

Hindley's day in yellow comes to an end, but

he's still holding on to third place overall.

There you go.

There you go.

Huh?

There you go.

Pogacar.

Yeah.

He dropped him.

He dropped him.

Jai couldn't keep up with the best.

So unfortunately, we lost the yellow jersey after just one day.

But Jai has so much talent.

And he's so tough.

And that's the reason why, for me, he isn't out of the running yet.

We have a podium finish in Paris.

In our sights.

How was it out there for you?

Pretty average.

Yeah.

Don't feel so flashed.

So personally for me, it was a bit of a shit day.

Thanks.

My role as a team leader really is just to perform.

But the fact is, I just think that it's just like physically not there yet.

What's wrong with me?

It feels like I'm not reaching the capacity of my muscles.

Yeah.

That's just what they can push.

It's just not.

No, it's not what you want to be.

No.

But I always dreamed to be a leader.

And I know that's what I am at heart.

I'm just hoping that I have the confidence from the team.

There was still a lot of chances still left in the race to achieve something.

Ben O'Connor is distanced.

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

The sponsors aren't going to pay, are they?

For a guy to perform like that.

We just didn't expect it.

Barry and Victorious want to win to honor Gino.

I'm just surprised that I didn't win to honor him.

Because of what happened to Gino, I felt a fire inside me.

It's really hard to forget what happened and carry on with the tour.

Hello Bill Bauer puts up the sprint.

Come on now, don't stop, keep on going.

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man!

Oh, man!
