03x02 - Disruptors

[bunniefuu]

[singing] ♪ Bah, bah, bah, bah, dad, dee
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah ♪

Let's go!

[dramatic tone plays]

[crowd cheering]

[Offredo] For the last four years,
the battle has been between

Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar.

But this year, there might well be
an all-new champion on the Tour podium.

[crowd cheering]

[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,

Primož Roglič!

-[horns blowing]
-[crowd cheering]

[Chennaoui] The biggest story
of 2024 so far,

Roglič has left Visma
and has gone to a brand-new team,

Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe.

It's a beautiful day. So thank you, guys,

and, uh, looking forward to start.

Thank you. You are the best.

[dramatic tone rises, stops]

[Roglič] With Red Bull,
I am stepping into a new era.

It's my time.

I will do everything I can
to win the Tour.

[Offredo] Three riders
have been dominating the Tour de France.

This year, we need to add another element.

We are all waiting
for another rider to take them on.

A rider for whom winning
the yellow jersey is his ambition.

[announcer 2] Directly from Belgium,
let's give it up for Soudal Quick-Step!

[crowd cheering]

[Lefevere] Everybody says,

"The only race your team never won
was the Tour de France".

But now, yeah, I discovered a talent.

The champion who's going
to change the world.

[announcer 1] Ladies and gentlemen,
Remco Evenepoel.

-[crowd cheering]
-[horns blowing]

[Evenepoel] I'm feeling ready for the Tour
with this strong squad.

We would like to win,
so we will try our best.

[exciting string music playing]

[Evenepoel] I think
it's time I got started.

No one can stop me.

I want to tell the world that I am here.

[music fades]

[dramatic music playing]

[car horn honking repeatedly]

Easy! Easy! Hey, easy!

Want to be on Netflix?

We were just saying, who lives in Calpe?

[honking]

Hey, careful! You don't want
to get stopped by the police again.

[chuckling]

What do you have tomorrow?

What do I have tomorrow?
Rest! I rest every day.

-Complete rest day?
-No, no, three hours. Three hours.

-f*ck. What a life, eh?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Netflix life!

[car horn honking]

Hi, my name is Remco Evenepoel.

I'm 24 years old
and I ride for Soudal Quick-Step.

It is true that my life
has changed so much.

[announcer] Remco Evenepoel!

[crowd cheering]

[Evenepoel] Until recently,
football was my life.

I played for Anderlecht,

the top team in Belgium.

At 15, I was captain of the national team.

-Come on, you Mauves!
-[crowd] Come on, you Mauves!

-Come on, you Mauves!
-[crowd] Come on, you Mauves!

[Evenepoel] But a football pitch
is always the same.

Always four corners and two goals.

And so the time came where I'd had enough.

I wanted to do
something completely different.

[upbeat music playing]

When I was 17, I began to cycle.

I won the first race I competed in.

I'd only been cycling for a bit less
than a month, it wasn't long.

So, uh, I picked it up quick.

[Lefevere] He started riding,
I think, middle of the season.

And he did eight races and won six.

But not with 30 seconds.

With minutes.

[music stops]

Of course, I'm not stupid.

I offered him immediately
a contract with us.

[crowd cheering loudly]

[commentator] A victory
of incredible proportions!

Remco is actually just like this, like,
perfectly built m*ssile on the bike.

[commentator] Evenepoel now attacks hard.

He can just cut through
the wind like nobody else can.

The Aero b*llet's what they call me.

-[interviewer] You like that?
-Yeah, for the time trial I do, yeah.

[exciting music playing]

He's already won a Grand Tour.

[announcer] Remco Evenepoel!

He smashes the defending champion.

He's already been
world champion on the road,

and two times world champion
in the time trial.

[cyclists yelling]

[Chennaoui] In Belgium,
he is like a second Messiah.

[announcer in French] It's time,
it's the moment, Remco Evenepoel!

[in English] He has been compared
to the great Eddy Merckx

more times than
he's probably had hot suppers.

Eddie Merckx was fantastic,
but Remco is better.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

I prefer not to be compared
to any other rider.

Cos I'd rather that they said,

"There's Remco.
There's something unique about him".

"He's a rider that the others
can't compete with."

I've been like that since I was a boy.

[gentle electronic music playing]

[gulls squawking]

[Evenepoel] Oumi and Remco's kitchen.

[chuckles]

I'd like a Gordon Ramsay
series one day too.

Thank you for my breakfast honey.

It's a pleasure.

[Evenepoel] We love coming here.

But after a while, we miss Belgium.

'Cause all of our family
and friends are there.

We spend a lot of time here, just us.

-On our own.
-Yeah, here, it's so calm.

The life of a footballer would probably
been a bit easier than that of a cyclist,

but I don't regret my choice.

So, do you think you're
ready for the Tour?

Yeah, I can't wait to get going.

It's become my dream to, uh,

to win the Tour.

That's you, you sh**t for the stars.

I gotta aim high.

[dramatic tone plays]

I think it's a realistic ambition, but…

it'll be hard.

With, uh, Pogačar, Jonas,
and Roglič as well, Oumi.

Roglič is, he's one of the best.

A clever rider. He's brilliant
and has so much experience.

He's highly motivated.

So, there's a lotta pressure.

[dramatic music playing]

[announcer] A huge round of applause
for the new team captain, Primož Roglič!

I go?

[woman] Come on. You're on.

I go!

[Chennaoui] Bora-Hansgrohe
were a successful team before.

Red Bull lifted them up a level,

given them more money,
given them more profile

with the global brand
that they bring to the sport.

[people applauding]

[Chennaoui] And now they have
one of the best in the world

riding for their team.

Welcome to the Red Bull family.

[clears throat]

Blou, blou, blou, blah, blah, blah.

I am Primož Roglič, and I am a rider
for Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe.

[dramatic music playing]

With Red Bull, it's just great, eh?

Super team. Super power.

[reporter] So can I ask,
why did you leave Visma?

To get wins.

Roglič was always at the top
of the food chain in Jumbo-Visma.

That gradually changed

when Jonas Vingegaard
stepped onto the forefront.

That puts Roglič on the second step.

[interviewer] How did it feel
never being given the chance

to be sole leader at Visma?

Pfft. Yeah. It's hard.
It's definitely hard.

It led to the quite easy decision
to switch the teams.

Primož, he has won almost everything
there is to win in professional cycling,

but he is still yet to win
the Tour de France.

And it was obvious to him

that he would never be able
to achieve this in his previous team

because their focus was on Jonas.

So, naturally, he looked around elsewhere,

and we promptly jumped at the chance.

And we had the finances to make it work.

[Rolf Aldag]
He's a very serious competitor.

He wants to win the Tour.

Obviously, we're excited
to have Primož Roglič on the team.

[Chennaoui] This is personal for Primož.

This is his opportunity to ride
a Tour de France as the only leader,

with an entire team built around him.

[music intensifies, fades]

[baby babbles]

[gurgling]

-[Roglič] Ooh.
-[baby laughing]

Oh!

[in Slovenian] Put a jumper on.
We need a jumper. It's very cold outside.

[Lora encourages]

[Lora] Wow!

Come here! Let's go roller skating.

[boy] Yeah!

[Roglič in English] It's no secret
that I want to win the Tour de France.

I mean, of course, for myself,
for my family, for…

all the people that support me.

But I'm not 20 years old.

I don't have years of racing left.

Now, I have opportunity
to go for those goals

that actually, yes, I'm missing,

and that I really don't have
later on any regrets.

[In Slovenian] Left to right.

Look how good you can become,
learn to zigzag like this.

[Lora] Slowly.
You are too fast for him, you know.

[Roglič] Oh. Stand up.

[interviewer in English]
Do you think Primož has

some unfinished business in the Tour?

[Lora] Of course. Unfinished business.

On the Tour,
I know he will do everything he can.

Yeah, I'm really proud
of the way he fights.

[in Slovenian] Lev, Lev, you'll fall.

Oh.

Slow. Go slowly, Lev. Go really slowly.

[Roglič in English] Winning the Tour
would really change my life.

You put everything in some things,
and you fight for it.

But first of all,
I have to beat those young kids.

How strong they are,
how fast they can ride.

But I'm not afraid,
and ready to go for it.

[Evenepoel] Want a coffee?
I can make you a coffee.

[Landa sighs] Yes, please.

[Evenepoel] It's not my speciality.

[Landa] Thank you, mate.

[Evenepoel] 50 euros, please.

[laughing]

It's gonna be fun.

A fun Tour, hopefully. [chuckles]

The Tour is not easy.

It's gonna be very hard.

You need to be patient.
It's like three weeks.

You will have good days, bad days.

Probably more bad days than good ones.

I am Mikel Landa,

and I was part of the team
that won the Tour in 2016 and 2017.

I'm now in Soudal Quick-Step
as Remco's support rider.

[Evenepoel] Not having experience of
mountain stages, it's gonna be different.

Don't let on to the others
that you are not good.

Play a little bit, poker.

Everyone is suffering.

Probably not Pogačar.

He is too, for sure.

[gentle melodic music playing]

Guys.

Of course, we've built probably
the best team around Remco.

And we have to sacrifice a lot of other
riders to be ready to… to go for the GC.

Really. Complaining already, are you?

[Lefevere] Now we have eight riders
who go to the Tour de France

in service of a certain
Mr. Remco Evenepoel.

It's a risk we take.

[Steels] Come on now, boys,
six hours to go.

[cyclists laughing]

[Landa] Experience is
Remco's biggest weakness,

nowhere more so than on
the high mountains of the Tour de France.

The Alps.

The Pyrenees.

Every downhill.

The Tour is very dangerous.

What can Remco achieve on the Tour?
Well, I don't know.

I honestly have no idea.

Because I don't…

I'm unsure right now
what Remco's limit is.

So I think that the big mountains
will be a good test to assess his level,

to see if he can compete
with the very best.

[Evenepoel] Of course, there
are people who want me to win.

That comes with a lot of pressure.

It's up to me to prove to myself
and to my team

that I have the ability
to win this Grand Tour.

[reporter] Good morning
and welcome to our live coverage

of the fourth stage of the Tour de France.

The Tour returns to France
after three days in Italy.

Three climbs today,
ending with the legendary Galibier.

There's sure to be a lot of movement
in the General Classification.

[Offredo] The Galibier's a monster.

Altitude peaks at 2,600 metres.
It scares a lot of people.

It's brutal. And it really tests you.

It's extreme mentally and physically.

You have to be an excellent climber.

And in this fourth stage,

there's a chance
to open up significant gaps.

[Steels] Okay, boys.

The mountains today,
which is quite an important stage.

It's a stage where, I think,
we have to be hard-headed.

It's climbing.

It can change in a split second,

where you have to react,
and you have to go full gas.

If we can,
we take the descent in first position?

[Steels] It's worth the effort.

If you go for victory, you go for victory.

But at the end,
our race is against the guys for GC.

-Okay?
-Yes.

And the main goal is not to lose time.

Okay? Ready, boys?

WHITE JERSEY

Remco is an absolute monster on the bike.

Erm…

But here, in the Tour de France,
uh, I don't know.

Yeah, uh, we will see.

[Vingegaard] For sure, Pogačar
will be one of the main rivals,

but this year,
it's a very strong field here.

Primož is there.

I understand why he went to Red Bull.

To be a leader there.

I think he wanted
to have the role for himself,

to go for the Tour de France.

He's taking another step this year.

Hopefully, I can challenge him.

[tense music playing]

[people cheering]

We will all start from…
with the same time.

We all have the same chances, I mean.

Tadej is unstoppable.

Jonas, two-times winner
of the last two editions.

Remco, also, coming this year, and…

We will see. Huh?

[Aldag] With the age,
with the experience in the mountains,

I do rate Primož higher than Remco.

And I think for us
the skills are definitely there,

and he's willing to take necessary risks.

[Roglič] I already won
some races in the mountain,

so I am really
looking forward to fight for it.

[tense music continues]

[commentator] The fourth stage
is well underway

between Pinerolo in Italy and Valloire.

[Offredo] Fourth stage classification
will have an impact on what happens

in the rest of the Tour de France.

You don't necessarily know the hierarchy
by the finish line at Valloire,

but you do by the top of the Galibier.

[commentator] Now they start
the climb up the Col du Galibier.

[cow bells jangling]

The gradient at the start is brutal.
It can make it difficult for the riders.

It complicates things.

As you can see,
a lot of riders have fallen behind.

A lot of riders are dropping,
come on now, boys.

[Evenepoel] There are
still a lot of questions

about my skills in the mountains,

but if I'm having a good day
and my legs are strong,

I can stay with the group.

For me, the most important thing
is to win the stage.

[commentator 1] Tadej Pogačar
and Jonas Vingegaard

holding good positions at the front.

Primož Roglič and Remco Evenepoel
also holding good positions.

This is the first real high mountain test
for Evenepoel. It's going well so far.

-[people cheering]
-[horns honking]

[commentator 1] UAE Team Emirates

are absolutely smashing
everybody on this climb.

Bravo, bravo, bravo,
with your best to the top.

[commentator 1] The collective strength
of the UAE team is going

to hurt the other teams.

[commentator 2] It's impressive.

[commentator 3] Yes,
and Ayuso's picking up the pace.

[commentator 2] They're about to attack.

[commentator 1] And Remco Evenepoel's
looking strong. It's going well.

[commentator 2] Yes, indeed, things
are going very well for Remco Evenepoel.

[commentator 1] Look at that.

The Col du Galibier,
perched at the summit of this mountain.

[dramatic music playing]

[Niermann] Less than 2K to the top.

You're left with eight guys.
You're left with eight guys.

For sure Pogačar will attack
on the steep part, eh?

Primož is there,
Landa is still there for Remco.

Come on, boys. This is the elite group.

Remco, you're just
in the wheel of Pogačar.

When he goes, you go with him.

[crowd cheering]

[commentator] And here he goes,
the tornado strikes,

and Vingegaard immediately reacts.

So does Evenepoel.

Come on, Remco, go, eh. Come on.

[commentator] Evenepoel
desperately trying to get there.

Roglič just a few metres behind.

Look at that gap, come on!

[commentator] It looks like Remco
can no longer keep up.

Tadej and Jonas alone.

[Piquet] Pogačar alone at the front.

Vingegaard eight seconds behind.

[commentator] A fight between
Evenepoel and Roglič.

Roglič has won on these roads before.

Almost there, man, come on!

[commentator] Remco Evenepoel's
gone over the top.

[Evenepoel] I put in
a really good performance, I was happy.

It was pretty good for my confidence.

Primož, all in, all in, and then…

[car horn honking]

I was dropped because I cannot
manage the speed of, uh, Remco.

[commentator] It's time for the descent.

[Steels] Climbing is hard physically,
but the downhill is mentally very tough.

You really have to go down on
high speeds, under high pressure.

And that's something also
we have to see how that goes.

Prepare for the descent.

Watch out at the first part.
Relax, and go down. Eh?

[wind whistling]

[Lefevere] It's very risky
to go through early

in these high mountains in July.

There's snow. It's slippery.

After every corner, there's danger.

[commentator] The roads
are a little bit wet

with the snow that's melting.

[in Dutch] Oh. It's dangerous here.

[commentator 1] Remco Evenepoel,


Can he catch up with Pogačar?

[commentator 3] He's breaking early.

He's going through the corners
a little bit with the wrong line.

[Evenepoel] People don't understand
the speeds we reach in the descents.

On the way down, we were doing
around 100 kilometres per hour.

And when you're going at such a speed,
the bike begins to shake.

It's not natural for us
to go at that speed,

for the frame, for the wheels.

[commentator 3] Not looking comfortable
on the bike when you see him turn.

[Evenepoel] Of course,
I was feeling a little scared.

Um… Yeah.

[Piquet] Roglič is catching up to,
uh, Remco Evenepoel on the descent.

[Aldag] The downhill of Galibier,

there's an opportunity to put
your competitors under pressure.

It's a big test for Remco.

[commentator 3]
Remco, he's losing significant ground.

From being the third-best on the climb,

he is the worst amongst
the GC contenders on the descent.

[Roglič] I'm an old guy
still racing with those young kids.

But I'm super fast
because I don't really care much.

[commentator 1] And here comes Roglič.

[Roglič] Nothing is for everybody.

You need to like it.

The speed.

It's even nicer to go down than up, no?

[chuckles]

Remco's dropped.

[commentator] You can
really feel Evenepoel's inexperience

in these conditions.

[crowd cheering]

[commentator] Pogačar comes into Valloire.

The Slovenian superstar has
put everybody firmly in the shade.

Vingegaard, Roglič, Evenepoel.

Exactly 34 seconds behind Tadej Pogačar.

For now, he's in a league of his own.

[Offredo] Remco Evenepoel must've
felt very frustrated on this stage

even though he managed to catch up

with Primož Roglič
and Jonas Vingegaard at the end.

In cycling, we often
talk about experience.

But it seemed today he was
just controlled by his emotions.

[dramatic music fades]

-[exhales] It's pretty tense.
-Yeah.

[soft intense music playing]

First mountain big test,
high altitude on Galibier.

I think I tried to respond,

but, of course, yeah, the others are…

were on another level, especially Tadej.

In the descent, there were
a few corners and it was wet.

And, yeah, I have to be honest,
I almost went down there,

so after that, I lost a little bit
of confidence when Roglič came back to me.

Some small mistakes in the descent.
It was tough.

Yeah, I'm really happy. Uh-huh.

Nice day on the bike in the mountains.

Yeah, he's going, let's say,
for the moment, in the right direction.

[interviewer] Would you say
it was a good day today?

Very good day. I'm very happy.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Ciao.

Good?

[Evenepoel] It was
a nerve-wracking stage, for sure.

I don't yet feel


But it's so clear to me right now
that I gotta answer these questions,

"Will this happen again?"
and "Will I mess the turn up next time?"

It's up to me to prove to
my team that I can do this.

Just… [grunts]

-Yeah.
-Close.

-Yeah.
-Not quite.

It wasn't too good. He was
on the descent down the mountain.

[Lefevere] He's a good kid.

And it's so much stress
and responsibility on his small shoulders.

And it was a little bit too much.

But my mind of cycling is very simple.

You have to be the best.

The best legs, the best in the head.

He has to find a way
to believe in himself.

And next it's the TT.

He is world champion.

But between hoping and winning,
there is a big difference.

[intense music playing]

[commentator] Stage 7 of the Tour,
and the first time trial today.

[man] Loving the helmets, boys.

Everyone's helmet looks sh*t, eh?

Yeah. Yep.

You look like a firefighter.

Power Rangers, aren't we?

[laughing]

Shark is here.

It's so far in front of you that you
always hit the top of the door and stuff.

But it's fast.

-Very interesting eh?
-[man] Yeah.

[woman] Under pressure, huh?

The individual time trial is
certainly a day Remco Evenepoel

will have been looking forward to.

If he's to properly be in contention
for this Tour de France,

this is where he needs
to start making a difference.

[fan 1] Well done, Remco!

[fan 2] Come on, Remco!

Come on, Remco!

[Aldag] We know there's a fair chance

that Remco will gain time
in the time trials.

Probably, yes, but you know,
like for your own mind,

you say, "Well, look there's opportunities

and you know,
it's not gonna be perfect for anybody".

And then, there's this hope that Remco
invested a lot in the Galibier stage,

physically and mentally.

And that he maybe pays a price for that.

[interviewer]
Patrick, are you feeling happy today?

Do I appear happy to you?

[sombre music playing]

Take it day by day.

I cracked on the mountain stage.
And that was really difficult for me.

When I'm feeling low,

the pressure's intense.

It's very hard to bear.

But you have to get over it.

Don't dwell on the negatives,
but focus on the positives.

I have to rise above my weaknesses

and be mentally strong
and put all my troubles behind me now,

and continue with the Tour.

[commentator] Four riders
who are heading into a great battle today.

Remco is the best time trialist
in the world right now.

But so far in the Tour,
he didn't seem so confident.

So I think a lot can happen in this stage.

[Vingegaard]
Remco is a fantastic bike rider.

But there's a whole different pressure
in the Tour de France.

And he seems nervous.

And it's now a tight battle
between all the four of us.

[commentator]
Primož Roglič on the start ramp.

The Slovenian from the Red Bull
Bora-Hansgrohe team is off.

And off we go, 200 metres straight.

Full speed.

Full, full, full.

[commentator]
Can Jonas Vingegaard win today?

Just do the best
half-hour effort. Come on!

[commentator] Remco Evenepoel
in search of his first stage win

in the Tour de France.

And he comes out
with the most furious sprint.

That's great. You made
a very fast start there.

[commentator] Looks like he wants
to scare Tadej Pogačar a little bit early.

The start of the yellow jersey,
the final rider is underway.

Can he beat all the riders?
Can he hold onto yellow?

Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

[intense music playing]

[music fades]

[muffled cheering]

[Steels] A winner of the Tour de France
maybe gets born every ten years.

One thing they have in common,

they never doubt themselves.

The next day, they go again,
and again, and again.

Remco needs to win.

We know if you miss that opportunity
to win a stage,

he would not break mentally,
but it would give a little scar on it.

And that's something we are afraid about.

Long left and the sprint to the line.

[exciting music playing]

[commentator] Primož Roglič
in the final metres.

Roglič arrives in
the quickest time so far.

Can Vingegaard beat
Roglič's time at the finish?

Push it. Push it. Push it.
Right to the line, Jonas. Come on.

Every second counts. Eh?

[commentator] The second-fastest time.

Jonas, about one second
slower than Primož.

[panting]

[man in Spanish] Calm down. Calm down.

[Piquet in English] At the finish line,

Primož Roglič is still the leader
with the best time.

[fan] Go, go! Go, go, go!

Come on man, focus, you can do it.

[commentator]
Look at the pace of Evenepoel.

But Tadej Pogačar is still in it.

Bravo, Tadej. Come on now. Almost there,
let's have it now. Come on, Tadej!

[commentator] Remco Evenepoel,


What a battle we've had this afternoon.

-Whoa! Mechanical!
-[commentator 2] Problem!

And a mechanical for Remco Evenepoel.

Argh! f*ck!

-[commentator 1] What a disaster!
-[commentator 2] He's got a puncture!

No, it's the derailleur.
He… He's pedalling too fast.

I heard something. A noise.

For Christ's sake!

[Evenepoel] Do I stop cycling?

When you see he makes the sign,
you would like to smash everything.

[commentator 1] He's peddling too fast.

The prong won't go back down
onto the freewheel.

[commentator 2] Remco Evenepoel's victory
is slipping away.

You think, how much time can he lose?

[Evenepoel] You have to stay calm.
Hope for the best.

[tense music playing]

[commentator] Wow, that's it,
he's got the chain back on.

Remco can sprint at full speed again.

Come on now, all out! You can do it.

-Keep on going!
-Come on!

[commentator] Remco has
lost time with that problem,

but Pogačar is gaining seconds.

That's it, give it, give it,
give it your all now!

[commentator] Can either
of these riders beat Roglič's time?

The finish line.
It's going to be so close.

Come on, you can do it, keep going!
Come on, come on, come on!

Remco crosses the line. Will it be enough?

Now all the way to the end, go!

[commentator]
Now we're waiting for Tadej Pogačar.

Tadej Pogačar giving it all he's got.

Pogačar beats Roglič's time,

but not Remco Evenepoel's.

Remco Evenepoel wins his first ever
stage of the Tour de France.

[all yelling]

[in Dutch] Yeah! That's it!

-Ah!
-[laughing]

Woo!

[in English] Well done. You look stressed.

What a day.

Well done, Remco. We did it.

[laughing]

[Evenepoel] When I win a race,
what I feel above all else, is pride.

Pride at having beaten all the others.

-Congrats, man.
-Thanks, man.

[Evenepoel] It felt like a new world
opened up for me in that moment.

Not bad.

[camera shutters clicking]

[commentator] Primož Roglič sets
a really good time to finish third

behind Remco Evenepoel and Tadej Pogačar.

Recovery.

[Roglič] It's tough. [sighs]

But yeah, you have to accept the fact.

Obviously, yes,
I was just not good enough.

I'm disappointed.

[reporter] So, Grischa, tell me,
what's the dynamic gonna be

between Evenepoel,
Pogačar, Roglič, Vingegaard?

-We haven't got to Nice yet, have we?
-[reporter laughs]

[Chennaoui] Tadej Pogačar leads this race.

Jonas is ahead of
his former teammate, Primož Roglič,

but he sits behind the young
Tour debutant, Remco Evenepoel.

I always feel like the more people
doubt me, the better I perform.

Yeah, exactly.

Let them think we lost the Tour already.

Yeah.

Sunday, we hit hard.

We will isolate Pogačar and the rest.

[both chuckling]

[Chennaoui] For the last four years,

the Tour de France has
been dominated by two riders.

This year could be a game-changer.

[dramatic note, music ends]

First of all, I want to apologise

for the heart attack that I gave you all.

[all laughing]

First victory in the Tour for me.

Uh, a big step forward
to the podium in Nice.

Thank you for today,

and tomorrow is a new one.

[upbeat music playing]

It was a very special day,
and it's a dream come true, really.

I was inexperienced in the peloton,
but I think I learned a lot.

And I'm a contender here.

sh**t for the stars.

That's how your dreams come true.

I'm after that yellow jersey in Nice.

Give it to me.

[laughs]

[intense music playing]

I'm not the same Jonas as I was last year.

[commentator]
There's Vingegaard in the background.

Maybe we are seeing a fragile,
scared Jonas Vingegaard.

There's clearly something
going on with him.

Yeah.

[Pogačar] Deep down in himself,
he is scared, probably.

The team's recruited a sprinter.

Sam! f*cking sprint!

[Chennaoui] It's a big gamble
to support Sam Bennett.

[Bennett] I just feel like a f*cking d*ck.

[tense electronic music playing]
