2 p.m .: First of all, we know that you are looking forward to it, the anticipated summary of the stage:
Crazy rhythm at the start of the stage with this wind in the back and breaks in all directions. When the helicopter takes us to the gorges of Vallon Pont-d’Arc, the peloton finally sheltered regroups a little quickly: collective fall, and a group of smart people escape and take a 7-minute lead. In this Tour where not a day is calm, the curbs reappear in the second part of the stage. The Ineos machine starts up, the elastic ends up farting for Pogacar 15 terminals from the finish. Drawn in strategy, the UAE focused too much on reaching the end to wait for the Yellow Jersey victim of a puncture. In another fan, it’s Cavendish who takes the wind in his teeth. In the final, Bouhanni is well placed. But decidedly touched by bad luck and burnt by his efforts to arrive on time yesterday at Ventoux, he was blown over the line by Colbrelli, more leggy.
