He doesn't have the same... 512 00:26:22,871 --> 00:26:25,150 He doesn't have the same acceleration. 513 00:26:25,330 --> 00:26:26,710 It would have been really nice. 514 00:26:27,190 --> 00:26:27,510 He would have done better on the stage. 515 00:26:27,670 --> 00:26:28,010 Yeah, yeah. 516 00:26:28,290 --> 00:26:30,010 But that was perfect though. 517 00:26:30,570 --> 00:26:33,250 I think they will have quite a hard time. 518 00:26:33,610 --> 00:26:36,630 And yeah, you should really be confident. 519 00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:37,970 I think you are the strongest. 520 00:26:38,970 --> 00:26:42,070 We didn't win the stage, but it was a very, very good day for us. 521 00:26:42,270 --> 00:26:43,830 Pogacar had a lesser day. 522 00:26:44,010 --> 00:26:45,970 The gap is a very nice margin. 523 00:26:46,210 --> 00:26:50,430 But of course, Jai, we see him as a threat for the GC battle. 524 00:26:50,590 --> 00:26:51,630 He's in the yellow jersey. 525 00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:53,730 He is a marked man for Jumbo. 526 00:26:53,850 --> 00:26:55,770 We don't let him go in the breakaway again. 527 00:26:56,270 --> 00:26:57,270 Good. 528 00:26:57,370 --> 00:26:57,850 Yep. 529 00:26:57,950 --> 00:26:58,570 See you at dinner. 530 00:26:58,850 --> 00:26:59,850 Yes. 531 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,100 Yesterday's stage was a treat. 532 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,200 Jai Hindley is now the leader of the Tour de France. 533 00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:21,230 Morning boys. 534 00:27:21,470 --> 00:27:21,950 Morning. 535 00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:22,430 Hey, hello. 536 00:27:22,530 --> 00:27:23,530 Morning. 537 00:27:23,970 --> 00:27:30,270 Is that good? 538 00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:31,990 What does he have more to lose? 539 00:27:32,330 --> 00:27:33,870 Yeah, you have to get a jersey, right? 540 00:27:36,290 --> 00:27:38,630 You're leading like the biggest bike race in the world. 541 00:27:38,650 --> 00:27:40,030 So like all eyes are on you. 542 00:27:40,031 --> 00:27:42,190 And all the attention is on you. 543 00:27:42,270 --> 00:27:44,310 All the media, all the spotlights, everything. 544 00:27:44,670 --> 00:27:45,990 And it's just like crazy. 545 00:27:46,470 --> 00:27:48,270 But at the same time, like really cool. 546 00:27:50,170 --> 00:27:50,670 XS1. 547 00:27:51,030 --> 00:27:51,530 Yeah. 548 00:27:51,850 --> 00:27:52,850 XS1. 549 00:27:56,170 --> 00:27:57,930 Too many calls, like, XS1. 550 00:27:58,490 --> 00:28:02,090 I wanted to stay in the jersey for as long as possible. 551 00:28:02,970 --> 00:28:04,410 Really fucking cool. 552 00:28:06,650 --> 00:28:09,810 Yesterday's mistakes were small errors, but you need to know what they are. 553 00:28:09,811 --> 00:28:11,190 So that you'll learn. 554 00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:13,350 Feeling like semi-confident. 555 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:15,950 The day before wasn't really good. 556 00:28:16,390 --> 00:28:20,770 But at the same time, I can see myself doing what Jai can do. 557 00:28:22,010 --> 00:28:25,390 You can feel jealous he got the other jersey on the stage win. 558 00:28:26,130 --> 00:28:29,070 But it's important to look at why it was better. 559 00:28:30,510 --> 00:28:32,590 I know exactly what I need to do. 560 00:28:33,170 --> 00:28:34,690 I still live with that hope. 561 00:28:34,830 --> 00:28:35,970 I can fight with the best. 562 00:28:36,250 --> 00:28:37,850 He spent a lot of energy. 563 00:28:38,350 --> 00:28:39,350 So... 564 00:28:39,810 --> 00:28:41,270 We need to be really careful. 565 00:28:42,170 --> 00:28:43,590 Especially on this stage. 566 00:28:45,250 --> 00:28:47,470 Things started badly for Tadej Pogacar. 567 00:28:47,690 --> 00:28:50,430 He took a big uppercut, but he's a wounded animal. 568 00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:54,670 And he will seize every opportunity to try and make up for lost time. 569 00:28:55,050 --> 00:28:58,090 Be focused and don't spend any energy. 570 00:28:58,210 --> 00:28:59,210 This is our goal. 571 00:28:59,730 --> 00:29:00,870 I'm really motivated. 572 00:29:01,550 --> 00:29:03,750 Thinking how to improve. 573 00:29:04,030 --> 00:29:05,090 How I can do better. 574 00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:07,270 And how not to have a bad day. 575 00:29:08,330 --> 00:29:09,690 I want to come back. 576 00:29:09,810 --> 00:29:10,810 I want to win. 577 00:29:11,235 --> 00:29:12,830 I want to take the yellow jersey. 578 00:29:15,330 --> 00:29:17,310 It will be a very hard stage. 579 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:19,410 Pogacar was on his knees yesterday. 580 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:22,570 If we can do what we were just talking about. 581 00:29:22,890 --> 00:29:25,690 We will get Pogacar in the zone. 582 00:29:25,770 --> 00:29:29,790 Where we believe that he is tired and cannot respond anymore. 583 00:29:30,150 --> 00:29:33,470 Our goal is not to have again Hindley in the break. 584 00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:35,650 Because that's not a good situation for us. 585 00:29:36,010 --> 00:29:37,250 Pogacar is the biggest opponent. 586 00:29:37,270 --> 00:29:39,970 But Jai Hindley is a very, very good rider. 587 00:29:40,410 --> 00:29:42,990 So we have a plan of making the race hard. 588 00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:44,110 Yes? 589 00:29:44,530 --> 00:29:44,830 Yes. 590 00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:45,190 Great. 591 00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:46,430 Come on. 592 00:29:49,270 --> 00:29:52,690 Let's take a look at what is on the menu for the riders today. 593 00:29:53,650 --> 00:29:56,050 In reality, it's a lot worse than it looks. 594 00:29:58,430 --> 00:30:02,310 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 595 00:30:03,730 --> 00:30:04,730 Let's go! 596 00:30:08,670 --> 00:30:10,050 Stage 6 is underway. 597 00:30:12,490 --> 00:30:15,490 Is Jai Hindley the third man of the Tour de France? 598 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:18,450 Could he win the race? 599 00:30:19,990 --> 00:30:21,610 I knew it wasn't going to be easy. 600 00:30:21,710 --> 00:30:24,090 But I was really keen to fight for the jersey. 601 00:30:24,190 --> 00:30:25,910 And to hold on to it for as long as I could. 602 00:30:26,350 --> 00:30:27,610 We want to be in the front. 603 00:30:27,850 --> 00:30:30,990 We kind of like try to shut down as good as we can. 604 00:30:31,090 --> 00:30:32,750 Show a strong presence as a team. 605 00:30:33,690 --> 00:30:36,230 And just make sure we stay in control. 606 00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:37,750 That's it. 607 00:30:37,850 --> 00:30:38,270 Good job. 608 00:30:38,310 --> 00:30:38,930 Good job, Ben. 609 00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:39,150 Yep. 610 00:30:39,650 --> 00:30:40,530 We eat. 611 00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,030 We drink. 612 00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:41,990 We eat. 613 00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:42,490 We drink. 614 00:30:42,970 --> 00:30:45,750 I actually felt really, really good. 615 00:30:46,290 --> 00:30:48,030 I was thinking things will turn. 616 00:30:48,230 --> 00:30:49,290 And it will come your way. 617 00:30:49,690 --> 00:30:51,350 Just fight it out. 618 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,260 After yesterday's fireworks, it's time for Jai Hindley to defend the yellow jersey. 619 00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:04,940 And he can count on the whole Borough Hands grower team. 620 00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:07,360 I was in a pretty good spot. 621 00:31:07,580 --> 00:31:09,380 But I didn't really know how Jumbo was going to do it. 622 00:31:09,381 --> 00:31:14,860 And after the bottle point, we take over and we ride tempo. 623 00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:18,840 I said hard tempo because that's good for us. 624 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,960 That's what we want to do. 625 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,000 We wanted to have a hard race. 626 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,840 The Tourmalet is very long. 627 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,260 It's very rugged. 628 00:31:33,420 --> 00:31:35,640 And above all, it's the stuff of legend. 629 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,860 There are so many kilometers on which to spring an attack. 630 00:31:41,060 --> 00:31:42,800 And for a lot of riders, it's scary. 631 00:31:44,860 --> 00:31:47,280 The Tourmalet ascent is never easy. 632 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,280 And even going slow, it's hellish. 633 00:31:51,670 --> 00:31:57,380 And Team Jumbo Visma are really setting the pace now at the front of the peloton. 634 00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:00,600 We just follow, follow, follow. 635 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,700 We just have to be glued to the wheel. 636 00:32:05,670 --> 00:32:07,680 The Tourmalet is just like a monster. 637 00:32:07,940 --> 00:32:12,220 A real mental grind and a real physical battle. 638 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,920 Come on, Ben. 639 00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,040 You've got to keep going. 640 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,400 Go, go. 641 00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:18,300 It was simple. 642 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,500 It was just purely stay with the yellow jersey as long as possible. 643 00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:27,600 But at the same time, I knew Jumbo were going to make the race very, very hard. 644 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,680 Now we really put the Emma down. 645 00:32:30,780 --> 00:32:32,080 Now we really put the Emma down. 646 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,380 It's havoc right now and we haven't even reached the summit. 647 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,600 The pace has suddenly lit up. 648 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,840 Yes! 649 00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:45,580 Jumbo Visma have made the acceleration. 650 00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:49,260 The light has been put on. 651 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,120 On Tourmalet, it felt terrible. 652 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,100 Simple as that. 653 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,240 But it was done. 654 00:32:53,820 --> 00:32:55,620 And Ben O'Connor is distanced. 655 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,960 O'Connor is already dropped. 656 00:32:58,100 --> 00:32:59,320 O'Connor is already dropped. 657 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:01,660 GC is over. 658 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,840 I just completely exploded. 659 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,280 They've all been destroyed. 660 00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:13,496 Everybody's on their knees, sir. 661 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,556 Everybody's on their knees. 662 00:33:14,580 --> 00:33:15,580 Come on! 663 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,100 It's impressive to see the damage being done. 664 00:33:19,260 --> 00:33:22,480 Our primary goal was to defend the yellow jersey. 665 00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:27,520 But in the end, for the last three kilometers over the Tourmalet, 666 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,060 the sheer speed was so high. 667 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,540 And the yellow jersey is distanced. 668 00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:34,480 Hindley is dropping. 669 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,480 Hindley is dropping. 670 00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:36,980 Only Pogacar with you guys. 671 00:33:37,260 --> 00:33:38,880 Have dropped the yellow jersey. 672 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,420 The yellow jersey, giant leap. 673 00:33:43,940 --> 00:33:46,300 I was pretty uncomfortable. 674 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,000 It's just like dying on the wheels. 675 00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:52,600 If I stayed on, then I would have completely exploded. 676 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,860 I could still save it a bit, but I... 677 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,460 Yeah, like killed me, basically. 678 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,720 The pace is absolutely electric on the Tourmalet. 679 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,660 Now you really put Pogacar on the limit. 680 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,320 You really put Pogacar on the limit. 681 00:34:15,740 --> 00:34:17,340 It's what we've been waiting for. 682 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,920 Finger guards attack. 683 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,720 And Tadej Pogacar reacts. 684 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,180 He's hanging on for now. 685 00:34:22,460 --> 00:34:24,440 It's the head-to-head we were waiting for. 686 00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:27,720 Jumbo thought that I'm not in good shape. 687 00:34:27,820 --> 00:34:31,780 So they tried to really crack me, nail me to the ground. 688 00:34:31,940 --> 00:34:34,060 But I didn't want to give up on that stage. 689 00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:37,300 Pogacar is on the Danish rider's wheel. 690 00:34:37,460 --> 00:34:38,460 But for how long? 691 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,100 You can't drop him here. 692 00:34:40,140 --> 00:34:41,216 You still have the last climb. 693 00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:43,680 But he will be on absolute on his limit now. 694 00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:44,720 Three seconds behind. 695 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,580 Pogacar doesn't look like he's having a great day. 696 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,200 Wheel power today and concentrate. 697 00:34:54,620 --> 00:34:56,260 Everybody in the hurt box now. 698 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:57,700 They're dropping behind. 699 00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:01,300 The day before I was able to drop him. 700 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,940 We were thinking that hopefully we could do it again. 701 00:35:04,250 --> 00:35:07,140 Just try to go as hard as possible to the top. 702 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,280 There we go. 703 00:35:09,281 --> 00:35:09,880 There's the attack. 704 00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:11,100 This is the move. 705 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:15,180 Jonas Vengergaard jumps and Pogacar this time reacts. 706 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,540 And just sits and squeezes on the pedals. 707 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,640 Pogacar is suffering, Jonas. 708 00:35:28,740 --> 00:35:29,740 Pogacar is suffering. 709 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,980 Pogacar is fighting back for now. 710 00:35:33,140 --> 00:35:34,980 But how much longer can he keep going? 711 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,360 Pogacar attacks. 712 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,180 Vengergaard surprised. 713 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,100 Pogacar rips it now up this mountain. 714 00:35:50,060 --> 00:35:50,940 Come on. 715 00:35:50,941 --> 00:35:51,380 Come on. 716 00:35:51,381 --> 00:35:51,880 Come on. 717 00:35:51,881 --> 00:35:52,881 Come on. 718 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,400 Tani Pogacar shoots to the finish line like a bullet. 719 00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,280 Like that. 720 00:35:59,380 --> 00:35:59,620 Go. 721 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,080 Go. 722 00:36:00,220 --> 00:36:01,220 Go. 723 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,280 Pogacar is disappearing in a blaze of smoke. 724 00:36:07,980 --> 00:36:12,280 Jonas was overconfident and he thought that I'm mentally broken. 725 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,000 But I saved my legs. 726 00:36:14,001 --> 00:36:15,240 For a final climb. 727 00:36:18,180 --> 00:36:19,640 Don twenty five seconds above Vengergaard. 728 00:36:19,660 --> 00:36:21,180 Vengergaard's run up in two sequences. 729 00:36:22,460 --> 00:36:24,820 Pogacar is determined to beat Pogacar in a sprint to heaven. 730 00:36:25,380 --> 00:36:25,820 Seconds ahead of Vengergaard. 731 00:36:25,940 --> 00:36:26,320 Come on. 732 00:36:26,420 --> 00:36:26,780 Come on. 733 00:36:26,820 --> 00:36:27,560 You can't see him. 734 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:27,920 He's coming now. 735 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:28,940 That's it. 736 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,440 Keep going. 737 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,200 End of second. 738 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:30,520 Going to be a front. 739 00:36:30,521 --> 00:36:31,521 You're nearly there. 740 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,080 You're nearly there. 741 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:34,720 Come on Thomas. 742 00:36:34,721 --> 00:36:35,600 All out till the finish. 743 00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:36,660 All out till the finish. 744 00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:40,860 It's coming. 745 00:36:41,140 --> 00:36:43,800 This is it, to the finish! 746 00:36:43,801 --> 00:36:44,801 Come on, mate. 747 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:45,840 To the finish line. 748 00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:47,800 Go, go, go, go. 749 00:36:50,140 --> 00:36:55,940 A resurgent Tadej Pogacar has put a blow to the hopes of Wengergaard. 750 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,500 Stage six, take a bow. 751 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:00,720 Bravo, mate. 752 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,220 That's it. 753 00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:01,660 That's it. 754 00:37:01,740 --> 00:37:02,740 Congratulations. 755 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,480 Go, guys. 756 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:05,520 Go, guys. 757 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,260 Tadej won the stage. 758 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,040 It's one of Tadej Pogacar's key characteristics. 759 00:37:12,041 --> 00:37:14,760 He's a big personality who never gives up. 760 00:37:15,380 --> 00:37:16,660 Psychologically, he's a machine. 761 00:37:19,020 --> 00:37:19,500 Alone. 762 00:37:19,501 --> 00:37:20,580 Good job, guys. 763 00:37:20,740 --> 00:37:21,740 Good job. 764 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,040 Bravo, Tadej. 765 00:37:23,380 --> 00:37:30,060 Stage six was confirmation that I can fight for the yellow jersey in the Tour. 766 00:37:30,860 --> 00:37:32,640 Here comes Jonas Wengergaard. 767 00:37:32,740 --> 00:37:37,341 He's going to take the yellow jersey, but with a much smaller lead than anticipated. 768 00:37:39,740 --> 00:37:40,740 Half a minute left. 769 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,040 I think. 770 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:43,640 Cool. 771 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,240 Victory for Tadej Pogacar. 772 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,060 I was a bit disappointed after the stage. 773 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:56,920 We had a big master plan for that day and it didn't turn out as we wanted. 774 00:37:59,220 --> 00:38:00,680 Jai Hindley at the finish. 775 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,960 The tourmalet got the better of him. 776 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,660 But he's still going to fight for third place in the general classification. 777 00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:08,900 Come on, Jai. 778 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:09,380 Come on. 779 00:38:09,381 --> 00:38:11,200 Fast 50 is slightly uphill. 780 00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:12,300 You bring it to the line. 781 00:38:12,380 --> 00:38:13,380 The second counts. 782 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,480 I was thinking, jersey's gone, but I've still got that Tour to ride. 783 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,600 And I just wanted to be fighting for the podium spot. 784 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,900 Jai Hindley attacks to save his honour. 785 00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:34,948 Hindley's day in yellow comes to an end, but 786 00:38:34,949 --> 00:38:38,161 he's still holding on to third place overall. 787 00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:53,240 There you go. 788 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:53,860 There you go. 789 00:38:53,980 --> 00:38:54,240 Huh? 790 00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:55,140 There you go. 791 00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:56,060 Pogacar. 792 00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:56,520 Yeah. 793 00:38:56,540 --> 00:38:57,280 He dropped him. 794 00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:01,640 He dropped him. 795 00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:04,820 Jai couldn't keep up with the best. 796 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,220 So unfortunately, we lost the yellow jersey after just one day. 797 00:39:18,340 --> 00:39:20,560 But Jai has so much talent. 798 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,300 And he's so tough. 799 00:39:23,620 --> 00:39:26,840 And that's the reason why, for me, he isn't out of the running yet. 800 00:39:26,841 --> 00:39:29,480 We have a podium finish in Paris. 801 00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:31,220 In our sights. 802 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,500 How was it out there for you? 803 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,200 Pretty average. 804 00:39:36,820 --> 00:39:37,340 Yeah. 805 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,140 Don't feel so flashed. 806 00:39:39,141 --> 00:39:41,660 So personally for me, it was a bit of a shit day. 807 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:42,760 Thanks. 808 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,700 My role as a team leader really is just to perform. 809 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:54,040 But the fact is, I just think that it's just like physically not there yet. 810 00:39:55,740 --> 00:39:56,720 What's wrong with me? 811 00:39:56,721 --> 00:39:59,680 It feels like I'm not reaching the capacity of my muscles. 812 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:00,880 Yeah. 813 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,540 That's just what they can push. 814 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,240 It's just not. 815 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,380 No, it's not what you want to be. 816 00:40:04,420 --> 00:40:05,420 No. 817 00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:08,560 But I always dreamed to be a leader. 818 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,500 And I know that's what I am at heart. 819 00:40:11,460 --> 00:40:14,720 I'm just hoping that I have the confidence from the team. 820 00:40:15,595 --> 00:40:19,720 There was still a lot of chances still left in the race to achieve something. 821 00:40:21,660 --> 00:40:23,520 Ben O'Connor is distanced. 822 00:40:23,820 --> 00:40:24,880 Go, go, go! 823 00:40:25,140 --> 00:40:25,180 Go, go, go! 824 00:40:25,740 --> 00:40:27,480 The sponsors aren't going to pay, are they? 825 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:28,800 For a guy to perform like that. 826 00:40:29,020 --> 00:40:30,640 We just didn't expect it. 827 00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:34,520 Barry and Victorious want to win to honor Gino. 828 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,580 I'm just surprised that I didn't win to honor him. 829 00:40:37,820 --> 00:40:41,240 Because of what happened to Gino, I felt a fire inside me. 830 00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:44,700 It's really hard to forget what happened and carry on with the tour. 831 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,620 Hello Bill Bauer puts up the sprint. 832 00:40:46,860 --> 00:40:48,440 Come on now, don't stop, keep on going. 833 00:40:49,020 --> 00:40:50,020 Oh, man! 834 00:40:50,220 --> 00:40:50,380 Oh, man! 835 00:40:50,381 --> 00:40:50,760 Oh, man! 836 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,360 Oh, man! 837 00:40:51,361
