Le Tour de France returns to France! While we're not approaching the mountains yet, with six categorised climbs on the menu, it will be by no means a gentle welcome to French soil. Will the breakaway have their day, or will the bunch control the chaos and contest the victory?

Can we just take minute to give a HUGE shout out to the GCN Racing editors/uploaders for not having a spoiler in the title or thumbnail? Great to see. I watched the stage live, but if I miss any future stages I'll come to GCN Racing first to see the highlights.
Yes It is refreshing to not have the results out in the headlines.
Yes indeed 🏁🏁🏁🏁😀☘🎯🎯
This is SO important. I'm in the US and have no television, so rely completely on KZhead. It can be SO annoying to see spoilers in titles.
So will i
And a very good voice
I love it when the yellow jersey goes for stage wins.
I agree. Not something you see often on a stage like this one. 👍
I love 2-5 minute punchy hills in the last 5-10km of a road bike race. Need more of these stage finishes. That was so fun to see TJV burn through 2 guys in all out efforts to set it all up for WvA. Played perfectly.
@@cyclingboss469 Exactly, perfect execution. WVA has been so consistent in the first 4 stages, it’s unbelievable. Although it seemed he wasn’t perfect in the 1st stage (but he still finished 2nd, beating the world champion) This stage does bag the question what others were expecting before that last climb. Riders such as MVDP were completely out of position while this seemed pretty predictable and riders such as he don’t have that many chances this TdF
Unbelievable that Jasper wasn't able to notice a huge man with a bright leader yellow jersey in front of him.
He was just celebrating his 2nd place
Was thinking the exact same. He was probably concentrating so hard in the group to not crash or touch wheels that he didn't notice. And the sprinters couldn't see what the front was up to on that final hill. I think blame the DS for not communicating.
Am I the only one who likes hearing the narrator pronounce all the cyclist and town names? Very impressive.
That's called honouring the jersey - well done Wout.
It's incredible that Jumbo Visma has three riders in the top 10, and one of them in yellow as well.
Solid team work.
@@leonardoamando Wout v Aert is a seperate team all by himself.
Jumbo is a cool name
@@jazzunit8234 It's a Dutch supermarket company :) They are for example also sponsoring Max Verstappen.
This, this is cycling !
Amazing finish what brilliant tactics by Jumbo Visma, a true treat to watch for all cycling fans
If you bring last year Walt won the last 2 stages of the TDF so in 6 stages 3 first place and 3 second place finishes unbelievable! Witnessing something special!
whotf is walt
@@jeanse9793 heisenberg
@@jeanse9793 LOL.. thought the same thing... WALT!!!... HA
If it's so special spell his damn name right
Lol it is unbelievable because he’s cheating. I’m not one of these guys that calls all cyclists cheats or anything, but cmon guys. WVA is doing things that not even known cheats have been close to doing. Enough is enough. Open your eyes guys….
Can we talk about van Aert's consistency? 1st E3, 2nd Paris-Roubaix, 3rd in Liege, two wins, two second places and a sixth place in eight Dauphiné stages, and one win and three second places in the first four Tour stages. And a few of those second places were photo finishes. Absolutely ridiculous.
And then to think about a few years ago his complete thigh was ripped open after the TT crash.
@@misters4356 was his recovery that special? I actually don’t know, but I saw him crash and that didn’t look great
Back in 2015 i randomly clicked on a video youtube recommended me, which turned out to be a cx vid and I instandly become a huge fan of Wout van Aert. Back then he was still climing up the ladder in cx and didnt get much recognistion outside the small cx world. Now he is one of the best riders in the world, even in roadcycling and wins impressively tour de france stages.
Love the jumbo visma style! So much better than those boring sky years
yes x 100
Jealousy
A work of Aert
Wout is the new Sagan! And in some ways even more so. Classics, cyclocross, mountain stages, time trials, bunch sprints, solo breaks - just amazing one guy can do all that.
Wout is 4 times better than sagan ever was actually
@@elianvanhoof6239 whoa whoa whoa, time will tell.
Lol he is not a new Sagan. He is just wout.. wout have more class and respect Sagan never had one of that.. he wout not the Sagan there Wol never be a new sagen ore Wout the kid that wil come has his on name
Wout said “it’s not funny anymore” and then did the damn thing. Love it. This tour has been amazing so far can’t wait for more!
The team planned this before the day even started. This wasn't WVA all by himself. In fact, it ended up being smart for his teammates to sit back so they could hang out at the head of the chase group and slowing it down as much as possible, helping him remain alone up front--so much so that they fooled Phillipsen into thinking he won, lol.
So far so good without any big crashes. Last year tour started with a big crash. Ti was terrible.
To add to Wout Van Aert's greatness...he has multiple world championships in Cyclocross, a different bike thing entirely. And don't forget USA, a penny farthing race in Frederick Maryland July 16. Wowsa!
Suuuuper spectacular fans, long live adorable Tour de France
Van Aert is a total beast. Would love to see his power data the last 12 km.
When he was dropping Yates it had to be off the charts.
He posts his rides on Strava, but no power data
52,8 km/h last 20km
@@tommytommy7535 dangggg
@@starkparker16 Nah Yates is more a sustained climber right? This was more of a power sprint on rolling hills which got him the gap he wanted.
Van Aert was just unbeatable today, so fun to watch. But was anyone else surprised he didn't wait slightly over the top to try and bring Jonas with him. I know he had Yates with him but it looked their there was a gap between them and everyone else so I was surprised they didn't take that chance to get something over Pogacar because I feel like any chance you might have to take time over him, you have to take...might just be me though
If he had tried to bring Jonas with him then Ineos, Bora and UAE would have put in a concerted effort to chase them down - the chances of Jonas getting a GC advantage would have been very small. So it was good tactics for Jumbo to let him go alone since it maximised the chances of a stage win and Roglic and Jonas didn't have to race..
@@Paulfarr1964 Nah, they wouldn't. Even if Jonas joined Wout, Jonas wouldn't have had the energy to either help or hang on.
@@dannyrose8699 he had the energy to stay with him but why would He? Suck on Yates wheel and watch him crumble (which he did)
I need some breathing exercise after this exceptional performance. Woutstanding, work of Aert!
Yellow jersey going for stage win! Glad to see
Congrats GCN! Your new studio is mega! Breakaway was already excellent, but now yet on another level, love it! :D
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.
Well done coverage. Thank you from Truckee California
Loved the background music in this video!
Very seriously the best coverage out there!!!
Thanks for posting.
I’m still shocked. Philipsen literally had Van Aert 100m ahead. How he did not see him is still an open question.
indeed ive rewatched it 4 times and he even pointed his eyes at his Van Aerts bum multiple times
Cyclists need to start wearing brighter colours! 😂
@@YeraHamisi it is not matter of brighter colors, they need to have lights, sirens and signals.
You're not looking ahead when you think you're the front of the race and are battling for the sprint.
@@amedeosantini3911 no…you are wrong…we need brighter colors 🙄
Outstanding coverage! Thank you! I think Magnus should get a jersey just for a quality of his 'stache. Just saying...
great commentary, awesome stage, can't wait for tomorrow
I’d really wish there was more race footage. I’m sure copyright comes into play but for someone who can’t watch NBC’s extended highlights due to traveling, I would loveeeeeee to see a longer highlight of the stages. Anyway, thanks GCN for continuing to keep us updated!
Subscribe GCN+ for more footage !
The music on this one is lit 🔥
van Aert just going for yellow to avoid wearing the ugly brown jerseys
They are the worst jerseys I can remember in a while.
Those jerseys are hideous
Those jerseys have the same look before and after a crash
What a downgrade for this mighty Jumbo, that colour is absolutely disgusting
LEGEND
That give you wings and jasper shouting for glory are to see for
What a result for WVA and Belgium! Well done buddy! Stil the dutch - MVP my fav rider in last 2 years of World Tour Cycling! Greetings from heart or Romania - Transylvania 🇷🇴📸
WVA and MVDP always suffer in mountain stages, they are not "climbers"; crit du dauphine was an intro to that
This reminds me of Froome in 2016 when he attacked over the top of a climb in one of the early stages
3:14 looks like the pistons of a V2 engine
Philipsen's celebration on winning the 2nd place😂😂😂😂
Great music editing
I have no idea of what the narrator is talking about but I watch and stay glued to my screen anyway--it look exciting ;-)
Respect to Wout!!!Next year 1 Remco 2 Wout 3Lampaert all Belgians...flying
GJ ! ! !
Wout was just leading himself out for the sprint.
Yes
tour de france ❤
Jumbo what a team!
Someone get Philipsen an eye test. Van Aert was right in front of him. Lol.
give him a break, the guy is only 6 feet tall dressed head to toe in bright yellow...
He explained that he did not see him leave at the front of the last climb cause he was in the back of the peleton. Later on he joined the firts groep behind van Aert and did not now apperently. And he did not see him finish
Someone should get you an eye test. Philipsen came from like 4 or 5 riders back and when you sprint you're usually looking down. In the post race interview he said his radio transmission had been terrible and that he didn't expect that anyone could build up such a large lead on this stage in the last climb.
@@jeffw9465 excuses
No way jasper phillipsen thought he won, think he was just happy about the sprint win since he could see van aert in front of him
Nope he thought he won. Said so in post race interview. Didn't see Wout go and didn't think anyone could build a lead that big on a small climb. His sprint was still epic though.
Great win, one for the books! And: Oh Jasper 🙄
Congratulations Alexander Kristoff 🎊💐🎉💪👏🏼
Wout of this world!
We might see Lampaert and QS making a move on the cobbles today. It's going to be exciting. Fingers crossed there will be no serious crashes.
Wout 🔝🚴🇧🇪
Even 2nd is worth celebrating
Good dope VH, very good dope
So if WVA participates in a bunch sprint, it's just to give the others a fair chance?
Merckxiaans!
Absolute class act, van aert asking laporte if he's second immediately when seeing him
Wout is a monster
Finally Wout! Let's go! 💛 Even if UCI did relegate him yesterday for Sagan encounter, and he lost 30 points, he would still win the Green Jersey because of this stage win, and more to come. There's no stopping him lol. 🤣
Days in the Alps and Pyrenees to come suggest otherwise, but I like the lad and glad he's doing well.
@@sandydennylives1392 you don’t win the green in the alps or Pyrenees
@@bighammer3464 eve then Wout's shown he can hold his own in the high mountains. He's not getting out climbed by Jakobsen or Groenewegen lol.
@@JDGreen-vj7wx only covid or crash can threaten his green jersey I think. Although Sagan seems back in business as well, both are most likely the best climbers among the sprinters. Van Aert deserves this victory, tomorrow I expect both riders I mentioned as well as van der Poel (might be the biggest favo, because he has been quiet so far)
@@bighammer3464 No, but you do a Poggie that way. I ain't hatin' on Wout, he's had some great victories.
Congratulations, WVA! He must have gotten tired of getting second and decided to put his stamp of authority on the race. Now it's time for MVDP to light up a stage or two.
That's one way to make sure you don't deviate from your lane
Really Class win by vAert! Personally thought vdPoel might also like this stage but probably saving himself for the cobbles. Can't wait! Riders won't win the TDF there but can certainly lose it. And it seems celebrating 2nd has become a fashion😋
these 2 usually suffer on mountain stages...
I smell the 2020 ending for JV team hahahha Poga is just chilling!!!!
Nah, they’ll be fine. In the meantime, JV =1 stage win, UAE=0
Happy 40th birthday to Philippe Gilbert #legend
WVA❤️
Van aert wit da blue potion
Anybody know the song at the start of the video
so i subscribed to gcn+ for tour de france, and unlinke last year, i cant watch it in english, but only in my local language (German) is supposed to be that way? is it new? and why?
What a great opening song? What song is it?
Dansez by Fasion
W . Van Aert just proven himself for a true leaders on this tour by also winning this lap, congrats #arvicaphtv
All out Wout! 😂
Lets go JUMBO
Does anyone know the song playing in the beginning and the end?
Dansez by Fasion
Van Aert is proving that he is this year's super power !!! Can anyone prove that they are more prepared to win the Tour de France 2022 ?
What is the song?!?!
Wout destroyed that, man I love to see it.
Van Art was right in front of him and the dude from Alpecin is taking his time to celebrate his win :)
look at the damn interview. He explains it. And at least spell the damn name right.
@@jeffw9465 fuck his name and you
@@jeffw9465 chill out pal. Ask your mom to buy you an ice cream. 🙂
@@alexgrytsenko85 your mom did yesterday
Cuando lleguen las etapas de subida no va a tener fuerzas,y siempre pasa así,y creo que no le va a durar mucho a maglia amarilla
GO van Aert GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he needs a team just for him
Sagan is looking good
Impressive ride by Wout but lets take a second and give kudos to not only Sagan for another top finish but also Kristoff for another consistently good finish. Too many haters write these two titans off, but they still have good legs.
It was Kristoff's birthday (and Gilbert's, too). The man was extra motivated for a result!
Mark Rober??
sohoku!
Had to check I wasn‘t on a Mark Rober video after the music at the start
These guys are unbelievable. What do they eat for breakfast?
the 3 guys behind Wout are more important than the 2 pulling him upwards: those 3 gap-openers make it impossible for the achtervolgers to keep in touch :`-)
What's name this song?
Dansez by Fasion
Blowing himself up early the yellow jersey won’t be on this guys back by the end of next week.
Tadej pogacar is slowly winning this one
From Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert team I don't seen any threat without Biniam Girmay did at Giro d'Italia. I am sure they missed Biniam Girmay. Good luck
Should've brought Quinten Hermans, but they left him at home out of spite of him maybe joining another team next year
Hahaha what was Philipsen celebrating?
I'm surprised that Van der Poel didn't join Van Aert.
No @Mark Rober ultra bike gadget 😢
Great win, though don't think all this work early in the race is smart for Jumbo if they want Roglic to win GC.
They've gotten 5 medals in 4 stages, their early work has already been rewarded. We'll see how Roglič and/or Vingegaard do later.
Roglic couldn’t even follow, the bookmakers also seem to believe that vingegaard is the clear favorite behind pogacar
@@LucasMogensenn why would he follow tho? Pogacar didnt follow as well
@@anssi7909 I agree, there was no real need for Roglič to follow.
@@anssi7909 that’s maybe why he should follow haha, because pogacar got caught off guard, then roglic and vingegaard could go with Van aert and maybe gain some seconds
TDP left the group😂
Jasper celebrates as tho he won?!
I'd like Van Aert to change his focus to GC contending. I'm fairly convinced he could make it difficult for Pogacar if he lost weight and improved his climbing. Everything else he is already better or on par with Pogi.
He'd sacrifice his punching and sprinting abilities by focusing on climbing. That's just how our muscles work. It's possible it might still be enough to beat Pogi and all others. But considering his well-trained body now, he'd have to sacrifice a lot to be on par with Pogi in the mountain stages. You can't underestimate the physiological changes by losing 7-8 kgs and changing focus. It's a balance.
@@MrVKenneth I'm aware but there's many successful examples in the past. Thomas, Wiggins come to mind, although they don't have anyone as dominant as Pogacar to fight against! If I was Wout I'd do it after winning Roubaix and Tour of Flanders as I'm sure he wants to win that first but you can't say he doesn't have serious potential for GC battle. It's up to him and his team in the end!
@@briangoossens1519 I don’t think Pagacar is that dominant. He got lucky the 1st year and Roglic abandoned last year. Let’s see what he does this year. If he wins , then yes , he’ll be dominant. But we’re not there yet.
Philipsen, hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Wait a minute. Did I hear a mass shouting Denmark?
Yeah, 3 people killed in a shooting in a shopping mall
Sadly, that's hardly even newsworthy anymore. Happens about every weekend.
@@jonahconner1111 in some places maybe, but not in Denmark or most European countries
