| 0:04.6 | Today we're at the Markstein Fellering. |
| 0:30.0 | That was Belfort, around lunchtime today, the Tibal Pino and today Pogaccia fans in |
| 0:43.0 | fine voice. Serenading, not really serenading, but greeting their heroes as they |
| 0:49.6 | emerged from the team buses at the start and the day was all about Pino and |
| 0:53.9 | Pogaccia, wasn't it? But there wasn't the fairy tale that all of France was |
