5:07 p.m. : Notice to the fan club of Thibaut Pinot, the lead of the breakaways is crumbling at high speed. More than 1’30 in advance, while there are still 10 km to climb. We cannot blame Thibaut Pinot for having tried everything in this Grande Boucle.
5:05 p.m. : This is the striking image of this stage: the fall of Tadej Pogacar in the descent of the Col de Spandelles and the handshake between the Slovenian and the yellow jersey, Jonas Vingegaard, who waited for him.
(FRANCE 2)
5:04 p.m. : 🇫🇷 @ThibautPinot accelerates in the break, but 💚 @WoutvanAert and 🇨🇴 @danifmartinez96 are able to follow!
🇬🇧 @ThibautPinot accelerates in the breakaway! But 💚 @WoutvanAert and 🇨🇴 @danifmartinez96 manage to follow him!#TDF2022
5:02 p.m. : At the head of the race, Thibaut Pinot tries to place an attack, but does not manage to unclamp Van Aert and Martinez! The breakaway group is still two minutes ahead of the yellow jersey group.
5:00 p.m. : Regrouping within the yellow jersey group, which sees the return of Geraint Thomas, Louis Meintjes or Valentin Madouas. David Gaudu is 38 seconds behind this group, Romain Bardet at 1’30.
4:56 p.m. : Emmanuel Macron has just taken place in the car of Christian Prudhomme. The president will just climb to Hautacam, a 15 km race. But he still didn’t choose the end of a plain stage in Beauce đ
4:56 p.m. : On the move in the Hautes-PyrĂŠnĂŠes, @EmmanuelMacron accompanies the choir for a traditional Pyrenean song @BFMTV #DePassageParLeTourDeFrance https://t.co/4AB0zkGS2K
4:56 p.m. : The President of the Republic was also slapped by a traditional singing choir.
4:56 p.m. : “Good day Mrs!” Emmanuel Macron spoke with residents in Argèles-Gazost, before going on the final stage @LeTour in Hautacam @sudouest https://t.co/1B7ShzOgKk
4:56 p.m. : Emmanuel Macron is passing through the Tour de France today. After a stint in Tarbes, he exchanged with residents in Argèles-Gazost.
4:54 p.m. : News from our French: David Gaudu is in a group with Nairo Quintana, about 45 seconds from the yellow jersey group. On the other hand, Romain Bardet is further away, in the company of Enric Mas, more than two minutes from the Vingegaard group.
4:51 p.m. : 2 huge champions… it’s nice to see such behavior… 👍
4:50 p.m. : Wow!! Chills everywhere they put me!!!! Too beautiful too fair play Thanks to them!! Thank you round!! (A good example to follow elsewhere)
4:50 p.m. : It’s a shame, the pun “remontadej” had just crossed my mind, but not sure that the Slovenian has the strength to attack again on the climb to Hautacam. The Slovenian talks a lot to his sporting director when taking a bottle.
4:46 p.m. : It’s very elegant and a fine example of fair play! Thanks to Jonas 👍
4:44 p.m. : That’s class 👍 from him!
4:45 p.m. : Tadej Pogacar shook hands with Jonas Vingegaard when he returned to his height. The Slovenian rider’s shorts are torn in several places.
4:44 p.m. : What fair play bravo 👍👍👍👍
4:43 p.m. : For the veterans, Vingegaard is reminiscent of Jacques Anquetil in managing his lead. What panache!
4:43 p.m. : FALL OF POGACAR! The Slovenian went wide in a turn and made a mistake. Fall without gravity. Vingegaard has seen but is waiting for the Slovenian. #TDF2022
4:42 p.m. : And it is finally Tadej Pogacar who makes a mistake in the descent, by missing a turn… but he is sportingly awaited by Jonas Vingegaard. Note that the Danish yellow jersey did not have to wait for him.
4:41 p.m. : Oh Jonah… #TDF2022 
4:40 p.m. : And if the Tour was played in the descent of the Col de Spandelles? Jonas Vingegaard almost bit the dust on a badly controlled turn! Tadej Pogacar takes a few seconds ahead.
4:38 p.m. : Wout van Aert crosses the top of the Col de Spandelles in the lead, depriving Thibaut Pinot (2nd) of precious points in view of the polka dot jersey. The Belgian is disgustingly easy. The yellow jersey group is only 1’30 from the head of the race.
4:34 p.m. : It is cumbersome this cyclo in yellow on the luggage rack. #TDF2022 
4:33 p.m. : What a show from Tadej 🤍 #TDF2022
4:31 p.m. : Fourth attack from Tadej Pogacar, who still can’t get rid of Jonas Vingegaard, as if glued to his wheel. The Slovenian multiplies the attacks and took over Louis Mentjes in passing. The liar poker game continues.
4:29 p.m. : Romain Bardet is in a group with Nairo Quintana, about fifteen seconds from the yellow jersey group.
4:27 p.m. : Tadej Pogacar plants banderilla after banderilla in an attempt to unclamp Jonas Vingegaard. Third attack, the Dane has not (yet) trembled.
4:25 p.m. : In the leading group, there are only three riders left, Wout van Aert, Thibaut Pinot and Daniel Felipe Martinez. They do not yet feel the hot breath of Tadej Pogacar on their necks, the Slovenian being pointed at 2’45.
4:22 p.m. : Terrible draft for Romain Bardet, who is more than a minute away from the yellow jersey. David Gaudu limits the damage to 20 seconds behind the Pogacar-Vingegaard duo, but there are still 5 km of climbing.
4:20 p.m. : The peas seem cooked for Romain Bardet 😭
4:51 p.m. : Attack by Tadej Pogacar which explodes the yellow jersey group. Only Jonas Vingegaard manages to follow him like his shadow. Romain Bardet had already let go, David Gaudu has just been unclamped in turn!
(FRANCE 2)
4:17 p.m. : @Jerome I’m not in his head, but he may want to win the stage, if the breakaway goes to the end (and prove to himself that he is capable of winning the Tour, because at ease on all terrains, like Bernard Hinault in his time). And if the yellow jersey group catches up with the breakaway, it can lend a hand to its leader at the crucial moment of the race.
4:16 p.m. : Hello Pierre, what interest for Van Aert to be at the head of the race?
4:15 p.m. : The two tricolor riders are for the moment well settled in the yellow jersey group. All is well on board.
4:15 p.m. : Bardet and Gaudu are in which group?
4:11 p.m. : Here is the program of the festivities on the Col de Spandelles.
4:09 p.m. : @Oliv It is often this type of infrastructure that is favored for summit finishes, because a flat space, at altitude, capable of accommodating the barnum of the Tour finish (the podium, the public, the press, cars…). Summit finishes in a city, other than perhaps ski resorts, have been relatively rare lately on the Grande Boucle.
4:09 p.m. : Hello FI. Why so many arrivals at airfields this year on the TdF? Are stopover towns sulking? Thanks!
4:03 p.m. : We are now attacking the second difficulty of the day, and we will see if some riders, among the favorites, will see 36 Spandelles!
⢠In the lead, a group of 22 riders, with Wout van Aert and Thibaut Pinot, among others (yes, the green jersey is in the breakaway and the polka dot jersey is dropped in the passes, everything is off my good lady) .
⢠The South African Louis Mentjes is inserted, 1’50 behind the breakaways and 2’40 ahead of the yellow jersey peloton. Virtually, he would end up around 5th place overall.
⢠The yellow jersey peloton follows at 4’20, the polka dot jersey group at 9’20.
3:50 p.m. : There’s no point in making sudden gestures 🥶 #TDF2022 
3:50 p.m. : Small point “magnificent landscapes” as long as we are there…
3:48 p.m. : Poor Ciccone – he could take maximum points on the Spandelles and still finish… one point behind Vingegaard in the polka dot jersey standings if the Dane wins on Hautacam. That would spark things up for the two Cat.4 climbs tomorrow… or the Cat.4 climb outside Paris #TDF2022
3:48 p.m. : Small point “classification of the mountain”. If Giulio Ciccone passes the Col de Spandelles in the lead, he will have to pray that the leaders do not start the fight towards Hautacam. If Jonas Vingegaard wins the stage, it is the Dane who will wear the polka dot tunic, in addition to the yellow jersey.
3:40 p.m. : It’s the Italian Giulio Ciccone who takes the lead at the top of the Aubisque, followed by Thibaut Pinot, who have the polka dot jersey in the corner of their heads. The Italian is only 3 points behind Simon Geschke, the current holder of the overcoat, who is experiencing a failure.
3:30 p.m. : 
3:30 p.m. : “May God (Vinge)gaard you”, seems to say this supporter to the runners of the Grande Boucle…
3:27 p.m. : It’s a little complicated to give you an update on what is happening in the race, because the runners are scattered all along the course.
⢠A group of 20 riders in front, including Wout van Aert, Thibaut Pinot and Valentin Madouas.
⢠An outsider in the general classification, Louis Meintjes, is 1’10 behind. He can make a nice close to the general, and in particular dislodge Romain Bardet. But the race is still long!
⢠The yellow jersey group is at 2’35. Tadej Pogacar has not yet moved an ear.
⢠The polka dot jersey, Simon Geschke, is lost at 4’24. He is in great danger of losing his distinctive jersey tonight.
⢠The Quick-Step sprinters have already organized their own broom wagon. They are 6 minutes from the head of the race.
3:23 p.m. : To come back to the classification of the best climber’s polka dot jersey, it seems to me that some specialists have mentioned making a classification according to the times of ascent of each pass.
