121km : Regarding the race situation, Fred Wright, Frederik Frison and Mattia Catteneo are in the lead, three minutes ahead of the peloton, which is led by three teams: Jumbo-Visma, UAE Emirates and Bike Exchange, who want to take Van Aert, Pogacar and Matthews at the top of Lausanne.
123km : Other riders in difficulty, Ben O’Connor, who has already fallen far behind in the general standings, is experiencing another complicated day. Gianni Moscon, he, in bad shape, preferred to throw in the towel.
127km : So, we’re going to start with a little stage point. At the start of the race, there was a big fall in the peloton, in the first positions. And it caused damage: Kevin Vermaerke gave up, Maximilian Schachmann was hit.
2:30 p.m.: Hello cyclix, how are they? Ready for a new demonstration of Pogacar? Come on, we hope to vibrate again today, but with a different scenario from the last two days, especially for the suspense. Here we go.
A coast dear to the boss Christian Prudhomme, who explained during the presentation of the route that he never missed an edition of the race A travers Lausanne when he was a kid, just to see Merckx, Ocana or Thévenet fight there like ragpickers . Wout van Aert could well afford a second stage victory there, or Michael Matthews will take his revenge on Longwy… On our side, we would like to see Benoît Cosnefroy or why not David Gaudu surprise the competition.
>> We meet around 2:30 p.m. for the airing…
