good evening children of cycling here for what's pilo entertainment big uphill finishes after an easy day the Welter says I can deliver more stages like that for you yes stage 20 tomorrow will be different but let's have ankar's repeat from Lono to Alto de monal no multiple HC mountains so enrik M might do well we've got 9ks 9% finish after an easy day steep on a pretty big road could have been a breakaway stage because uh to cathlon with Ben con of still in the red jersey wouldn't want to chase but red B boram gr had other ideas they wanted to Stage for rogich and so the break with mahalovich was locked down at the base of the climb deloro had also made it in there and Bora were not hiding their intentions with alotti first then rouer Adria second whittling this down to about 25 Riders we still have multiple team there represented with multiple Riders like paser for fdj but when Martinez takes over things get a lot more serious 6K left on The Climb look at Florian lipitz now I think it's not on purpose but it is by Design he sits behind rogl M can't move up the paac is so high liit loses the wheel and leaves carapaz on a gap and carapaz he's trying to close it but then it flattens off here they go 25 30ks an hour plus on this little flatter section caraz is thinking I don't want to close that Gap and he looks to enrik M here who's ahead of him on GC and says that's your problem and then bit of a prisoners dilemma they're doing such high wats in front the draft benefits so big do you really want to close that Gap with a Podium threat on your wheel m is you know he's defending or going for second really he knows with the power that Red Bull are in this team time trial with RL and what happened on Anar with RIT issuing the Beatdown to everybody that there's no point trying to follow or close it so it stalls behind goodu attacks vlasov is leading Rog out to be honest we all know what's going to happen there and the Cath they begin to Pace with valent Perry pantra for Ben okona so actually this is a great situation for okona he's got a domestique caras and M haven't done anything gdo is not really a threat to his Podium spot of course he's going to lose the Jersey to Rish but we all knew that before the stage and Rit is indeed going clear with a 30 second Gap with 5Ks to go created within just over a kilometer so he's on another super day but how long can it last this ceasefire behind it's still a pretty big group and the answer was not long 500 metes later carapaz attacks maybe this is where the kathon begin to make the same mistakes again where M goes clear and instead of focusing on parry pantra and Iona trying to do the best climb possible for themselves they're always trying to get back to the wheel of mass and OK Conor and you notice the big difference with someone like Maas skelos when the Watts go too high he just lets it Go and does his own pace he knows he's trying to do as smooth as possible and skelos has been finishing the climbs the last four four Mountain toop finishes I think almost the best of anybody outside of rogl and mass mass then counterattacks again no reaction from someone like a Skil mosa or a gdu and carapaz who's maybe the biggest threat for ok Conor on the podium because M should Leap Frog okona tomorrow Carz can't respond but also okona is responding maybe too much he leaves Parry pantra behind again skelm MOA and cous and Landa they nowhere in the but Conor trying to get back to the will of caraz with 3.4k to go he can't at that moment rogl has got 21 seconds on M it went down as low as 19 seconds but then M he stalls as well being out there on his own and schelm moza comes back Rodriguez his white jersey competitor on the wheel he brings Rodriguez and okona back to carapaz and now it's looking good for ok Conor again caraz is stalled m is up ahead m is already ahead of caraz on GC he's really trying to distance o Conor for the podium uh and lipitz and Lander are coming back Lander he must have he got dropped almost immediately on the climb and just paced himself rogich he sends m m northwards going to over 45 seconds nearly to 50 seconds after M tried to attack and then carop has digs 1200 me left and he does drop okona and okona is going to lose big time in the last K2 caras he cracks once again with the repeated accelerations and had he had 40 seconds on okona so maybe let's say 30 seconds at this point on schel Moser and Co Richard Hiller comes back to go past okona but M stalls whilst RIT doesn't the only man who can survive the Ferocious lead out of his Bor teammates who've made this a feature of this year's Welter espia winning his third stage of the race and maybe he'll win two more and taking the red jersey and look at gdu he comes back to M who's been out there on his own in the last 700 meters the guys who Pace themselves like schel MOA they finished the strongest gdo second schel MOA third on 46 seconds Landa fifth or so and look at caras all those attacks he actually gets dropped by cous and okon he's 103 but where's okon we know he's losing red we know Mar is taking a lot of time he loses 45 seconds to Richard caras R is already on the turbo cooling down preparing for the TT on Sunday schelm MOA goes into the white jersey so lots of changes in jerseys Roy winning the stage maybe the best pure climbing performance of his career on monal today head of gelo and marando Rodriguez DBA cous caraz and lipit here is what Robert had to say after the stage happy to be back on this seat ah yeah I mean uh like I said had some really nice memories uh from from this climb and uh yeah didn't disappoint me again beautiful your intentions were clear from the beginning of the stage uh was that the plan also to attack with sixk to go with two I mean yeah not really like you know I I said I don't need the stage but uh yeah I mean just uh I will not say the names but some guys decided yeah like uh we don't listen to you anyway we pull so uh we have nothing else to do so I mean the end yeah had to to make a call and I say okay I mean then at least we have to be all on the the same side and I mean then we go for it yeah you say you didn't need the stage was 5 Seconds down on Bono you were the hot favorite of laa now you lead with 1 minute and 54 job is done not really H I mean uh yeah again like we say all the time Queen stage Queen stage tooma is the is the last one tomorrow uh the big one uh will be definitely super hard and uh then still I mean uh we don't do the normal labs in Madrid uh he again uh the decisive day for the GC time trial so far from done in terms of GC Rish goes into the red jersey with a big margin nearly two minutes on Connor and he's going to take time on everybody in the time trial on Sunday as well so he just has to defend tomorrow but the podium fight is really really interesting with okon having only a 16-second lead on mass and a minute lead on Carz he's got a better TT in theory than both of them but tomorrow there's a lot of time that can be won or lost to pick on Blanco hope you enjoyed the video and see you then ciao
