Fantastic performance😁 | Men's 2026 Czech Tour Stage 2 Final KM's

And this is the kind of information that the team would have got from Haig doing his recon and getting all of the files, the data, they would know exactly at what the points is that you need to put the pressure on and exactly at the points where you just need to stay near the front and see what happens. And so yeah, steep section, send Ben Turner to the front, get him to use up everything he's got and see how far we can go with only three kilometers left in this bike race. Yeah, we've got quite a few hairpins still, but at two kilometers to go that is the last of the hairpins. That is also the part where the previous lap they were going straight and now we are taking a right-hand turn off the main road on our way to the tower. And then we don't have any hairpins left, it's basically just one corner left for the riders. Looks like somebody ended up in a Austrian rider. And here at the back of the bunch we're looking at Nolan Haussmann's number five yesterday in the sprint. And Ben Turner completely emptying the tank. On his wheel is Jack Haig, it's actually Andrew August there in last wheel. His work might soon be over. There's making his way back. Or is he in a group with dropped riders here? He's at the tail end of the bunch. And this is off that main road where the last time around we went straight ahead. And this is the final two kilometers. We don't have any hairpins left. We've got formidable road service yet again on our way to the top of this climb. It's got the Net Company in your show at the moment with Ben Turner, with Jack Haig, with Oscar Rodriguez and Andrew August. And we've still got the yellow jersey of Riley Sheehan sat in there. Good point. In about 12th wheel or so. You can just keep spotting him. He's hidden very well. And I mean for him this is a fantastic opportunity. Yesterday he won a sprint. Why not go for a surprise the sprinters today? Surprise the climbers today and win a climb. But with only two kilometers to go, he's in a really solid position. They're gonna have to start making some proper moves at this point if they want to try and drop him and take over the GC. As we see Ben Turner there. Done his work. Pulls over to the side. Checks the watts. Go for it guys. Lots of watts done. But yeah indeed Riley Sheehan still out there. Same goes of course with his persistent head bobbing. You can actually recognize him from space. It's still a sizable group there. We've got some modern adventure pro cycling team riders including Stéphane de Bottes. South African rider. But yeah at the back some riders are getting dropped right now with the pace set by Jack Haig. And so they're using Haig at this point. So you have to wonder if August is actually the leader for this race. Because you wouldn't put your leader on the front at this moment. That would be my guess indeed. That it is for Andrew August to date. The 20 year old American. But it could be an uphill sprint by now. Because we're inside the final kilometer. And look how big this group still is. And we still have our yellow jersey. And most of the riders are 10 seconds from Riley Sheehan. But those are riders like Turner. Like Pajur. The man in the white jersey. The man who was third yesterday. I don't think he's in this group anymore. And Sheehan is just holding on. He's got Domenico Pozzovivo on his wheel. The final kilometer is the steepest one. But it looks like we have more or less of a bunch kick ups up the road. I think he's just letting the wheel go now. Maybe, maybe not. Still not. It's incredible what the yellow jersey can do for your motivation when it comes to climbing. And what you will put in. This might be the moment. It's over. It's over for Riley Sheehan inside that final kilometer. That means that we are going to have a new yellow jersey. But what a fantastic effort here by Riley Sheehan. Here we go with an attack. We have Jordan Giga there. Domenico Pozzovivo is out there as well. We still have Andrew August here. We have Maury van Stevendam there bobbing from left to right. Jan Hirt is still up there. It is a much smaller group now. I don't know exactly where we are in terms of where the finish is. Because we are inside the final kilometer. Steven de Boot is still out there as well. We're inside the final kilometer. But where we are exactly, I couldn't tell you. Looks like we're sprinting now with Andrew August as the sprinter. Domenico Pozzovivo. MBH Bank is up there as well with one of their riders might be Foncello. But Andrew August is the designated rider. He won a stage in absolutely abysmal weather circumstances earlier this year. Go out of your way with your cameras. Please give the riders some room there. Andrew August is leading out the group. Foncello there. Pozzovivo, there's the deviation meaning we've got 300 meters left to do with August, with Pozzovivo, with Foncello. One of the Bardiani riders also still up there. Might be Toglio. We'll have to wait for confirmation. It is Filippo Turconi. For now, it's Alessandro Foncello with August, with Pozzovivo. That is a formidable sprint right now happening at the front with the MBH Bank team with number 63, Alessandro Foncello. But there is Andrew August, and he's going to reward all the work done by Net Company Ineos, who really, really dictated the pace at the front of the bunch, making sure the breakaway was kept in check. And he finishes it off with a stage win. Andrew August wins the stage and is also our new leader. Yeah, what a fantastic performance there by August. He went, they came with him. As other riders came around, he was able to just use them and then wait until that last 100 meters to jump around and take the win convincingly. And that's fantastic. Two days of work that Ineos have put into this, Net Company Ineos have put into this race, and they've got themselves a victory.
