It's absolute carnage.
I felt immediately that the wounds were big.
Because you can feel that it's burning.
Okay, up.
It's like stinging.
They put a knife, you cut yourself.
I already knew that...
it was going to become a hard few days.
Fabio Jakobsen.
Yesterday's crash has left a lot of scars.
Fabio, a bit better, no?
A bit better, but not good yet.
Sometimes it's hard to stay positive because of the level of pain.
Your mind and your body says, whoa, this is not what we want to be doing anymore.
He's our leader for the bunch sprints.
And the main guy who tries to get us the stage wins that we're aiming for.
A fourth win for Jasper Philipsen.
Today, the team bring me in a perfect position, but now I don't have the legs,
so it's, yeah, it makes me sad.
A high-speed crash doesn't just affect you physically.
When you go through that turmoil, it's psychological.
I mean, this team is used to winning Tour de France stages every year.
Do you feel the pressure is starting to build up a bit?
We were afraid.
This could be the year that we didn't want a stage win.
But I think we're going to get to the Tour.
Friends, we're in for a treat today on the roads of the wine region.
Woke up this morning, was the first at breakfast.
And then Tom still said to me, if you want to quit today, I understand.
And then I think we looked at each other and I said,
Tom, I don't think it's wise for me to start today.
We feel deeply sorry for you.
I give my best and the body don't want to push hard.
My recovery is not well.
The legs and the body only get worse and worse and worse.
So, it's just shit.
The news of the day is that Fabio Jakobsen has abandoned
the Tour de France after his injuries on Sunday.
Stage four.
OK, guys.
Unfortunately, Fabio goes home today.
Cycling is a sport that you have to do with a healthy body.
And if you feel it doesn't go, it doesn't go.
And then you take care of yourself and you come back stronger than before.
This team was really made in function of Fabio.
We are fighters, we are the Wolfpack.
Going home without victory never happened to us.
But if you're a sprinter and you're on the ground, and you come with one sprinter,
all your tactics are in the ground.
So, now you have to go to plan B.
Action.
Julien Alaphilippe.
I cycle professionally with Team Soudal Quick-Step.
The thing that still drives me is...
is winning.
Final sprint.
Alaphilippe has 150 metres to go.
He will climb.
He will claim his place today in Pau.
Magnificent.
Julien Alaphilippe is the boss of the Tour de France.
In one stage, he had the yellow in the Tour de France, and he's French.
He's the chouchou of the French people.
He broke a record yesterday.
And it's the first time for 35 years since we had
a French yellow jersey in a time trial at Pau.
When you attain your objectives, you have to set yourself new ones.
And there's still so much to achieve.
I've made a reality one of my biggest dreams in cycling.
The rainbow... Twice now.
...Jersey.
And if you weren't convinced the first time, I did it again.
Boom, boom.
The hardest part isn't achieving your dreams.
It's keeping your dreams at that level.
To keep the dreams alive.
All right, that's enough for now.
That's terrific.
Last year was the most challenging season of my career.
With a string of crashes.
It was a period of reflection.
Not just because I decided to not compete in the Tour.
But also, there was the crash at Liège.
Massive crash in the peloton.
Multiple riders on the ground.
Julien Alaphilippe.
Julien Alaphilippe is in the ditch.
As soon as I went back to training, physically, I felt different.
And mentally, too.
I found that really hard.
I saw flashes of the crash.
Uh, the noise.
It all really affected me.
And I don't want to go through it all again.
I don't want to go through it all again.
So it's taken me some time to...move on.
Um, we got him back.
After a really bad year.
Finally.
Change that jersey, young man.
What about you?
Are you satisfied?
I'm never satisfied.
Really?
Why not?
Because that's my... Because he's demanding.
That's my nature.
Right.
It's a showdown between French cyclist Julien Alaphilippe
and the director of Quick-Step, Patrick Lefebvre.
He crashed into the barrier.
Patrick Lefebvre.
Julien Alaphilippe, nothing's working.
What's going on?
He feels that his rider is well-paid, but doesn't always get results.
So how much do you get paid?
A little too much for Patrick.
Will you keep that?
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
A €2.3 million salary for Julien Alaphilippe per season.
You mean everyone has to justify their salary.
It's really simple.
He's no different.
He's the leader.
So we expect results.
There are high expectations of me, and people want a return on their investment.
Patrick, he speaks to the media, and that's all
right, but I just got to cycle better and win races.
I think I'm going to be better.
Does Julien need to justify the chunk of money that he's...
I'm a little bit tired of the kind of shit questions.
I said it once.
I said it to the people who have to know it.
Him, his agent, his wife.
And if the press asks me, I'm not a liar.
With every paycheck comes a certain expectation.
Cycling is not a fairy tale.
To get criticism from the boss, I think it's never easy.
It's never nice.
But it has to put you short.
I think for Julien, be sharp, be there in the front, and just fight to get in.
We tried to win one for Fabio today, OK?
168 riders at the start line and one non-starter.
Fabio Jakobsen, the Soudal Quick-Step Sprinter.
Stage 12 kicks off, a state that isn't... for the fainthearted.
We had to regroup, and quickly.
As soon as we lost Fabio, we had to focus on other goals, apart from on the sprints.
We all really needed to get a victory.
This is the front of the race.
Another 100 kilometres to go.
Come on, boys.
Attack of Julien Alaphilippe.
Can he catch up with the front group?
For sure, when the climb comes, behind you, they will all explode.
He's not the best climber.
He's not the best sprinter.
But if he has his D-Day, then, tactical way, he's very smart.
Julien Alaphilippe on his own, working hard to get back to the front of the race.
This could be a great opportunity for him to get a stage win.
He's really pushing himself.
You have to ride till the finish line, come on.
He's caught up to the front group.
Can he now win the stage?
Julien Alaphilippe is in difficulty.
Come on, he was all the character, you have to get over it, come on.
It's not happening today.
He doesn't have the legs, he's going to need to take a breather.
I grabbed the opportunities that came my way by trying to break away a lot.
But I felt that I wasn't where I wanted to be, physically.
Come on, Julien, stay in the rear, come on.
And then on top of all that, if you're in a situation where you've got your team
riding for you, to support you, to help you achieve your goal,
and it doesn't work out in the end, you feel...
You feel remorse, and self-pity, and disappointment.
Julien Alaphilippe out of the saddle.
You can see the tension in his legs.
He has to let the front group go now.
Fuck.
Shame.
Shit.
Julien seems mentally strong.
The problem is that he's just not physically up to par this year.
He lost a little bit of his qualities he had a few years ago.
And he knows he's a well-paid boy.
So he also feels this responsibility and not
really performing as he wants and we want.
Fuck's sake.
Well done, Julien.
Well done, Julien.
Well done.
I'm gutted.
Wiped out.
You okay, Julien?
Well done, Julien.
I lost my glasses.
It sucks.
It was a really tough fight to get to the front.
I didn't have enough energy to keep on the weird of them other guys.
Yeah.
It was just all too difficult.
You all right?
Busting a guff and nothing.
Oh.
That's right.
So you're pleased with Julien, right?
With everything he's done.
Well, he did his best, but it...
Well, I just hope that it wasn't all a waste of effort, you know?
Oh, it'll be the first time since 1994, 92, that I don't get a stage win.
Do you know how many years that is?
Now it's time for more flat racing.
Welcome to stage 18.
We've lost another sprinter today.
Nathan Maid, you're going strong today.
Following on from Fabio Jakobsen, now Wout van Aert is out of the Tour de
France to join his wife, who's about to give birth.
With just four stages left, time's pressing for Soudal Quick-Step.
The question right now is knowing how to beat the fastest rider in the Tour,
Jasper Philipsen.
A day of opportunities again.
It's our duty today to bring it to a sprint.
We are a team of winners.
We want our piece of the cake.
We need the guys like us.
I like Jasper Philipsen because he's fast at the finish line.
On a normal day, he always wins.
Stage 18 is child's play for Jasper Philipsen,
who is convinced he's going to win it.
You always want more.
Even if you want five, you want to win six.
You want six, you want to win seven.
Oh, that feels so good.
I think if he wants, he can win today.
You get me excited.
It's your day.
Julian, just one question.
What's the answer to beating Philipsen in a sprint?
I don't know.
Ride a motorbike, maybe?
Today, the teams without sprinters have a chance.
It's important to be in the breakaway today, guys.
You got that?
The more of us that get in the breakaway, the better for us at the finish.
So, the goal really is to get people up front.
And, guys, we don't choose who gets to go in the breakaway.
It's the head and legs that decide.
A breakaway, quite simply, is a group of riders who break away from the main body
of the race, and they try to stay away to the finish line.
A breakaway, more often than not, is doomed on sprint stages.
But if you're not in it, you're never going to win it.
We have... still...
possibility to gain some place, especially if there is going to be a break.
More often than not, there are sprint stages in
the third week that end up being breakaway stages.
We control the whole day, no?
Yes, the day when we... I want to pull first!
It will be incredibly hard to just get into the breakaway, and then even harder
to actually go all the way to the finish line.
All right, gentlemen.
Stage 18.
So we're all going to go for the breakaway.
We tried to escape today.
It's an opportunity.
We go for it.
If somebody goes, you help them.
You need each other to win a stage in the Tour.
We suffered already.
I think now it's our chance just to go, to be in, and to try to win a stage.
We were underperforming.
We have one goal, and that's stage wins.
Obviously, I wanted to get that big win.
My name is Kasper Askreen.
I ride for Soudal Quick-Step.
I should probably say I'm a cyclist for Soudal Quick-Step.
All right.
Kasper Askreen.
He's a strange guy.
He's a Danish.
They are already special.
He has his own mental way to prepare the race.
I'll do three-day blocks of training.
Two days with two types of different efforts.
And then a bit of a longer ride, just to build up the endurance.
One gym session per training block.
And then a rest day.
And then you start over.
I think I'm definitely one of the guys that puts in the most hours.
Like, the most strict with the schedule.
He has no limit on training.
You say to Kasper, it's minus five in Denmark
in the winter, and he has to do five hours.
He just do five hours.
He doesn't think about it.
He just does it.
He always wants to improve.
Everything is much smoother tomorrow if you just do it immediately.
How do you think your teammates would describe you?
Yeah, I think probably solitary is a good word.
I sometimes have my own way of doing things.
On training camps, I'll often sit like 100 meters behind the group just to have the
wind in my face all the time and always keep the intensity up.
I hope they don't think I'm too weird, but it's, you know...
I know I am.
I try not to be too weird.
Kasper Asgreen is an exceptionally talented rider.
He's been national time trial champion several times.
He's won one of the biggest one-day races in the sport.
The Tour de France, however, is a different beast.
He's brought here as a domestique.
He's never won a stage at the Tour de France.
Winning a stage is simply not his job.
Stage 18 starts for real now.
Denmark's former national champion, Kasper Asgreen
of Soudal Quick-Step doesn't waste any time.
He's already attacking.
An immediate surge from Soudal Quick-Step.
Fuck me!
Stupid.
Who's charged ahead?
Kasper Asgreen.
Kasper Asgreen must have a plan.
We were like, how the hell?
You know it's very difficult that the breakaway goes to the finish line.
He'll have like 10% chance it will work.
Kasper, if you still hear us, just take it easy.
Just take it easy.
I don't know if it was the team plan, but it was my plan.
I had no doubts.
I was just all in.
It's all about trying to get that win for us so we don't go home empty-handed.
Asgreen sets the tempo.
The gap is now 1 minute 34 seconds.
Three riders against the whole weight and power of the peloton behind.
It's pretty much a kamikaze mission.
There was 180 kilometers maybe in the
headwind with three against the full peloton.
So I say good luck.
When Kasper made his breakaway, everyone was just afraid to follow him.
Afraid to hurt your body even more.
Everyone was on their hands and knees and
so exhausted from the whole race in general.
He's racing for now, but it's entirely possible.
It's possible that he'll be told to stop because there's not too much point.
Little hope today for the breakaway.
30 seconds, 3-0.
Kasper, you know 30 seconds is not much.
You just take it easy in the front or they catch you or they don't.
Today, the sprinters are looking for a fight and
they're watching this breakaway very closely.
Push it.
Push it.
For now, the peloton has the situation under control, but
it's going to take a lot of effort to stay at the front.
Jasper Philipsen's plan will be to allow a safe breakaway, but keeping them on a
fairly short leash so that you know you can bring
them back again in time for the sprint finish.
Jasper Philipsen blocks the road.
What's he doing?
It's Philipsen.
Come on.
Philipsen's are just stupid shit.
Philipsen using a bit of intimidation.
He's got no intention of letting any other riders join the breakaway.
To keep the peloton away was incredibly hard.
I was suffering.
I had pain everywhere from sitting in that aggressive
position the whole day and just pushing, pushing.
It really takes a toll on the body.
They're going to take it home.
You'll see I'm not wrong.
Yep.
Yeah, that moment we start to believe.
I was happy to be in front, but I knew it was not over yet.
So it was really a fight and get as much power
as possible into the battles and into the road.
Now we have to get the team organized to take the breakaway
and we give them the full support to win the stage.
You have to wonder what Sudor Quickstep are playing at here.
They really need to slow down more.
Julien Alaphilippe joins the front of the
peloton, causing trouble for the group behind.
I'll do whatever I can, I mean anything, just to get Kasper to the front.
There's no question about it.
He's not making any friends at the peloton today, but he's not here to do that.
If I can, I'll get myself to the front group to break up their momentum and slow
them down, just for half a second or even a second.
Alaphilippe working for his team by coming to disrupt this chase.
What a great job by the former world champion.
It could just be that one second that makes guys at the back throw in the towel.
Or guys at the front.
It really is a very cool trick.
You stick together in the front, good boys.
Good boys.
You can see the Alps and Deceuninck riders starting to get a little nervous.
62 kilometers an hour in the breakaway, 61 in the peloton.
We were riding full gas in the peloton and we were not coming closer.
They were, yeah, stronger than we expected.
Come on, Kasper, with the guys.
Up each other out.
Come on, man.
18 seconds with 6 kilometers to go.
The gap is closing.
Bravo, Kasper.
Come on, bravo.
Just keep fighting.
A 13-second lead for the four at the front.
The peloton is coming back strong.
You get a bit discouraged when you hear on the radio that the time gap is going down.
Will they get caught?
But then we kept pushing and we kept working together.
1,400 meters to go in the breakaway.
Still has a chance of going all the way.
10 seconds.
You're going to make it.
Come on.
You pull, you guys, till the finish line.
Come on, eh?
The finish line is in sight.
Now we're going to be sprinting forward to the front stage.
Can they keep this going all the way to the finish?
Don't stop now, Kasper.
Go.
Go, Kasper.
Just 250 meters to go.
Kasper Askreen accelerates.
Can the breakaway stay away?
Go, Kasper.
Go, go, go.
Behind Pedersen.
Philipsen.
Askreen out in front and behind.
It's incredible.
The breakaway stayed away.
Askreen wins the stage.
And then a split second later, like, everybody just came past.
The bunch were so close.
No one believed it would happen, but the breakaway stayed ahead of the peloton.
What a race for Kasper Askreen.
What a sprint.
That's what you call a Wolfpack.
To win out the breakaway in those circumstances,
with that peloton chasing you, that's very rare.
That was exceptional.
And that made it very, very special.
For everybody, it was a big relief.
We can be proud of this year now.
I saw a photo where I was standing like this.
It was like, yeah, it's just surreal at that point, you know.
Honestly, did you think that you were going to win a stage of the Tour de
France, I mean, with the bunch putting the pressure on?
Even a small group can manage to cheat the sprinter teams.
So I didn't thin rule it out.
Well, then.
Holy card, the holy card!
Come on, guys.
This is what we need, man.
Julian has given his teammates the full support.
Does that make Julian's tour perfect?
No.
Oh, so, so, so, so happy.
So nice, Max!
But does that make him loved within his team?
For sure.
That's the thing you should do as a leader.
Did they ride a motorbike or something?
It can't be.
It's impossible.
Impossible.
Impossible.
That can't have happened.
They rode behind the motorcycle.
That cannot go on when we're going all out like that.
It's impossible.
Impossible.
I can understand the frustration.
But, yeah, if another team wins, another team wins.
Ridiculous.
There's really no way.
We were in front of the peloton.
We were in control.
It's also a little bit in the sprinter's mind.
It's very difficult to lose.
But you lose more than you win.
No, thank you to everybody.
It hasn't been the easiest for us, but I'm happy to give back a victory.
It would be a shame to break the streak of
always taking at least one victory in the tour.
Thank you, guys.
It's an explosion of joy.
There's like 100 kilos falling from your shoulders.
Struggling to win one stage when you're used to win four, five.
For us, it was like there was a drama not winning it to the first stage.
But the tour is over on the Champs-Élysées, not before.
You can't give up before you cross the line in Paris.
As a man, you don't give up when you get there.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think everybody found yesterday a very interesting race.
All the congrats we had.
I nevied got a banana with your name on it.
They spelled my name wrong.
Also, congrats to the teammates behind.
The motivation, the blocking of the guys... No, no, really well done.
Of course, today's another race.
And we are not here to play cards.
This you can do the rest of your life.
It's again full-on, maybe the longest finish of the whole year.
After yesterday's win, I think everybody has a bit of renewed motivation.
Stage 19, it's a good stage for us, to be honest.
I need to see how the legs are and how the body feels after yesterday.
But I haven't been in the breakaway all day yesterday.
It's maybe not ideal, but we'll give it another chance today.
The first part of the climb is still OK, 4%.
The second part is steeper.
We know that everyone's burned out from what we pulled off yesterday.
But doing it again would be great.
Quick Step shattered the idea of an impossible breakaway.
There's just three days to go, and this strategy they've employed has
become a serious threat for teams with sprinters.
And so, this has fuelled all those teams that don't
have sprinters and want to secure a stage victory.
Of course, it's not easy.
Of course, we tell ourselves that we'll all go for the breakaway.
Know that today, like yesterday, could see the fight run over several kilometres.
You'll have to watch out for Mati Moric.
He's got stamina and talent.
Because of what happened in the breakaway, in
stage 18, we presumed the breakaway has a chance.
First objective, to go in the break.
Once we are in the break, we can start thinking,
but we need to go full on the climb to bridge.
We can do this, no?
Stage 19 was the last chance to get a stage win for 99% of the riders left in the race.
So I was really determined to make sharp decisions and give it my best shot.
Cycling is becoming more and more of a sport where not only physical strength
makes a difference, but also tactical choices.
The winning margins sometimes are ridiculously small.
Races are won or lost by millimeters.
The track really pushes you into the track.
It's all about being as young, as fast and as dynamic as possible.
It's a dynamic thing, but you don't need that.
I've been riding like this for 60 hours now.
I always liked science, particularly numbers.
I'm a methodical and precise person.
I think about the powers I need to push on a certain section of the course.
I think about the gap, I think about the wind, I think about the speed.
I think about the gradient.
And I think it really makes me the type of rider I am.
Guys, we go today from Morin-en-Montagne to Poligny.
Two KOMs today and one sprint at 97.7, Jasper.
After yesterday, never underestimate anything.
But today we have to try to make something out of it.
For sure, four stage wins was already more than my expectations,
but I just want to win one more time in the green jersey.
And the winner of yesterday, Kasper Askreen, and he's a Maa Day this year!
Stage 19 is underway.
A 172.8 KOM.
For the majority of riders, this is the last chance for a stage win.
After this, it will be too late.
The whole stage was just incredibly fast.
It was really hard, but I knew since the very start that I have great legs.
Are there any riders capable of repeating yesterday's breakaway?
Very, very hectic.
There was a lot of riders that were motivated.
I think messy is a good word for it.
The race has been on for a while now and still no breakaway.
I wasted quite a bit of energy following and attacking in the opening two hours.
But I sure wanted to make sure that I have
no regrets at the bus after the finish line.
Here comes Kasper Askreen attacking again.
There was a split second of hesitation, but I knew
in that moment that this was the wheel to follow.
Matej Moric, Ben O'Connor and Kasper Askreen try to join Campanez, trying to
breathe life into this breakaway to win the stage.
Oh, Campanez cracks.
Just three leaders now.
Moric, O'Connor and Askreen.
The trio have started out well.
This was my opportunity.
I was like, now's the chance.
Now I'm going to see if I can pull it off again.
It's a very high average speed.
You can see how hard O'Connor has to work to stay in the wheels.
I mean, you definitely have to be in the break today.
But it's hot, it's fast, it's up and down.
And you take a chance and you try to win.
Good, Kasper.
Come on, let that engine go.
I was really suffering.
The body had definitely taken a big toll after yesterday's stage.
A 30-second lead.
That's massive, given the speed of the peloton.
The whole stage, I was thinking about the physics.
The speeds were incredibly high, so it was
really, really important to spend energy wisely.
This is how things stand.
Three leaders at the front, chased by the group we can see here.
The group behind has both Amanda Pohl and Jasper Philipsen.
Really fast riders that we definitely don't want to have join us.
20 seconds.
20 seconds.
At the front, the three riders are moving at close to 60 kilometers per hour.
You know the feeling from yesterday?
That gives you wings, eh?
Remember that feeling?
We go full power, eh?
Despite all their efforts, the guys in the peloton can't catch up to the front group.
Red Kite, one kilometer to go.
Matty Moric, Ben O'Connor and Kasper Asgreen.
Victory will go to one of these three men.
Coming to that finale, I was physically on my limits.
I knew that Kasper knew that he was the strongest and fastest sprinter.
You're faster, Mr. Asgreen.
Let's do this again, eh?
This close to the finish line.
It's going to be a battle of nerves.
Who will attack first?
We all worked really hard and we arrived on the last kilometer.
I expect Ben O'Connor will go pretty early.
So I'm just waiting for him to go.
It's not good.
I just don't think he's going to do it.
When you're actually in that moment and have a chance to win the stage,
you have to take the bull by the horns, not being scared or worried.
Just fight it out.
It's make or break now for Ben O'Connor.
The Australian attacks.
I move out to the stream with as much speed as I possibly can.
Head down for the line.
O'Connor looks around.
It's over.
Here goes Kasper Asgreen.
Will he win two days in a row?
When Kasper made his move, I just squeezed out every strength that I had left.
Go, go, go!
Go, go, go!

Photo finish!

Photo finish between Asgreen and Moric.
I had no idea.
I looked at Mati and said, you know?
He also didn't know.
Mati!
This is Mati!
It's photo finish, Kasper.
Photo finish.
Good job, man.
Hell of a ride again.
Who crossed the finish line first?
It's Asgreen against Moric.
Has Kasper Asgreen won again?
Or did Moric manage to throw his bike across the line?
From this angle, it looks like it's Asgreen.
But no!
It's Moric!
Mati Moric wins!
You win!
You win!
You win!
Yes!
Yes!
What?
Fuck!
Congrats, Mr. Kasper.
It's been a hell of a ride, man.
By throwing his bike at the line, Mati Moric won.
Mati Moric wins his third ever stage of the Tour
de France and you can understand the emotion.
It's the closest finish we've had on this tour.
Never mind, Kasper.
Fuck!
Fuck, it's annoying to be so close.
Can you tell us, can you explain what this victory means for you?
It means a lot because it's just hard and cruel to be a professional cyclist.
You suffer a lot in preparations, you sacrifice your life, your family and
you know what everyone else is going through.
And then in the end you almost feel like you betrayed them because you beat them.
I wish that everybody could win at the Tour de France
stage but it's just not possible and that's cruel, no?
I knew I had to make everything perfect, a match
just for myself, also for Gino and for the team.
I'm super happy and proud right now.
Thank you.
It was nothing I could do.
I had done everything I could.
If I had been able to pull that one off, win
two days in a row, that would have been...
That would really have been for the history books.
Fuck!
Hey, in the Tour, you can't go and win two days in a row.
I know.
I just took a chance.
It was really just instinctive.
Left that stage.
With more confidence.
But still a little bit like...
Dang it.
I wish...
I wish I had won that day.
There wasn't a lot else I could do.
Yes!
The good thing I did was to keep everything separated
so my suitcase is not like a bomb that exploded.
Only the green jersey is a bit... I didn't have enough space for this.
I didn't expect it to have that many.
So for this I have to sort some extra space.
Sadly there was no jersey to collect at this stage.
But I think I can call myself the best sprinter in the world.
Stage 21 in Paris is always special to finish on the Champs-Élysées.
It's the most iconic sprint of the Tour de France.
The little fight for the win there will be tough.
But I'm looking forward to take this challenge.
Cycling is the man, the effort and the
connection to the people who are around you.
There's always a lot expected from the French riders in the Tour.
So there's an awful lot of stress.
It was really tough for me from the start.
To end with green in Paris is a goal for all the sprinters.
Will Jasper Philipsen be able to take his fifth stage win?
Of course Jasper will win.
He takes it all.
Is it Mayus or Philipsen?
