David MillarHOST
And it's Mathieu van der Poel.
David MillarHOST
So yeah, so it started with 100Ks to go, a pretty big group went, but then again, Mathieu van der Poel just kept firing it up and ended up with, uh, Quinn Simmons, uh, Oscar Onley, and Ben Healy kind of did make it across, didn't he? So those were the four that were kind of just setting the tone at the front of the race.
Ned BoultingHOST
Yeah.
Ned BoultingHOST
I, I, I wonder, Lizzy, I know, I know you were just watching it, you know, by text message or whatever, or just trying to follow the events [laughs] from your window seat, but, uh, you know, if you put your, your kind of rider's head on, um, it must have been a completely different kind of, uh, incentive and atmosphere in that Peloton with the absence of Tadej Pogačar.
TylerHOST
Him.
TylerHOST
And then I think Ben Healy too.
BryanHOST
Yeah.
BryanHOST
Ben Healy kind of may bridge the gap over to them.
TylerHOST
He bridged up eventually.
BryanHOST
Yeah.
TylerHOST
Even, you know, we were talking even McNulty seeing his last 45 minute power must be wild, but I mean, yeah, Pitcock was just trying his best, get trying to get the train moving fast.
TylerHOST
But then again, Jorgensen and Quinn Simmons would just come out and just neutralize it, play little games.
Phil GaimonHOST
Behind, in the last K, there was finally a little bit of separation.
Phil GaimonHOST
Ben Healy snuck away, got a gap with Michael Matthews sitting on.
Phil GaimonHOST
Ended up being a great move for Michael Matthews, who basically got to start his sprint with a five-bike length advantage on Mathieu van der Poel, who was trying to chase down Healy That made the difference for Matthews.
Phil GaimonHOST
Great result for him to come second.
JohnnyHOST
Just wash it, eh? Well, I'm in a class.
JohnnyHOST
Like you see poor old Ben Healy, who's on his aero bike with his aero helmet with probably the most on aero.
JohnnyHOST
I did know.
JohnnyHOST
Pretty bad.
Esma TaylorHOST
Um, so it's really, the men's race was super interesting.
Esma TaylorHOST
Like just the, uh, The riders that were left at the end and it kind of suited like you have the Tom Pitcocks and the Ben Healy's and the Rimco's and then you had the Matthews, Matthew Vanderpool and
Danni ShrosbreeHOST
Michael Matthews.
Danni ShrosbreeHOST
It was like GC and classics riders all together.
Manon LloydHOST
championships and I feel like I will be re-watching it for some time to come because it was so good and the men's as well I feel like we yeah have to chat about the men's because that was equally as exciting
Emma FinucaneHOST
and very unexpected um yeah i loved it like i just thought it was like i don't know sometimes you don't know where it's going to go and obviously if gacha wasn't there so i did think it would be a bit more cat and mouse a bit closer but there was just like people like the like ben healy tacked so much tom peacock looked like he was absolutely like on his limit like yeah vanderpool and then remco came back i was like now he's not gonna win it Remco comes back into the group, he goes on the attack, and I was like...
Emma FinucaneHOST
And then they let him go, and I was like, oh my...
Emma FinucaneHOST
And then Brandon's just at the front, absolutely like...
Manon LloydHOST
You know, you like convince yourself that like, oh yeah, as you said, like, oh, Ramco's like having a bad day.
Manon LloydHOST
He's gone now.
Manon LloydHOST
And then he comes back and then like this happens and like Ben Healy just keeps going, keeps going.
Manon LloydHOST
And it's like, it's mental.
Daniel FriebeHOST
But that group behind the Sextas del Toro group, the Remco group, they're getting close now to Van der Poel, Simmonds and Roglic.
Daniel FriebeHOST
And again, all the sort of cards are thrown back up in the air again, because with 40 kilometres to go, so you fast forward another lap, then Ben Healy's coming back up to van der Poel he counters straight away doesn't he but doesn't get very far and again then it kind of you get this an emerging of the two groups and all bets are off
Lionel BirnieHOST
Yeah, I mean, that was an extraordinary phase of the race, from around 53km to go to 35km to go.
Lionel BirnieHOST
Ben Healey made his move.
13 MINS LATER
Daniel FriebeHOST
He was 14 seconds down, so just a small gap between Simmonds and Del Toro.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Pedersen sixth, Pidcock seventh, Jorgensen the MVP if it wasn't.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Mathieu van der Poel MVP other than McNulty of course he was 8th Ciccone of Italy was 9th Ben Healy was 10th and then there was a small gap to Mauro Schmidt in 11th Remco Evenepoel was 12th another small gap to him he was 25 seconds down in the end then Juan Ayuso Stefan Kung poor sexass who suffered really bad cramps in the last lap and lost a lot of time in the end he came in 2 minutes and 47 seconds down Jürgen Nordhagen of Norway.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Good ride for him.
Anthony WalshHOST
Suddenly, there's a front group of about a dozen riders.
Anthony WalshHOST
Van der Poel, Pitcock, Roglic, Healy, Del Toro, Sexas, Matthews, and importantly, three Americans.
Anthony WalshHOST
Three Americans in the very front of the biggest bike race in the world.
Anthony WalshHOST
Like, what is going on? It's absolutely brilliant.
6 MINS LATER
Anthony WalshHOST
Jorgensen's in behind.
Anthony WalshHOST
Ciccone's there.
Anthony WalshHOST
And Healy rounded out the top 10.
Anthony WalshHOST
A word for Ben Healy though.
Dan LloydHOST
but I was wrong.
Dan LloydHOST
Whilst they were joined by Roglic and then later Ben Healy, the following group was never too far back.
Dan LloydHOST
I mean, yes, there were plenty of group two syndrome dynamics there, but never for long enough that the gap really ballooned.
Dan LloydHOST
Now, it was during the next period of the race where we saw that pre-race favorite Remco Evenepoel of Belgium was not on his best day.
Alex ClementsHOST
very Plappy parkour.
Alex ClementsHOST
We're talking Ben Healy's, Mauro Schmidt's, Stefan Kung was in there, Nordhagen, Onley, Scaroni.
Max GawnHOST
Stefan Kung looked good.
Alex ClementsHOST
Yeah.
22 MINS LATER
Max GawnHOST
Once again, I don't know who was who in the Italian thing, but it looked like Scaroni.
Max GawnHOST
Yeah.
Max GawnHOST
Ben Healy, glad to see him back.
Max GawnHOST
I had him as one of the best in legs.
