: Come on, we'll meet at the foot of Col de Menté, in an hour, to experience this stage together.

Asset' !

: 

You were expecting it of course, here is the anticipated summary of the stage.

You're welcome. 

Annoyed at having lost their time stupidly yesterday in the curbs, Pogacar and Landa ask their teammates to toughen up the race with their teammates from the foot of the Col de Menté, before attacking themselves in the Port of Balès.

Landa takes advantage of a chain jump from Pogacar to go alone.

Kwiatkowski, after bringing back cans for the remaining 40 riders of the peloton and pulling out his first aid kit to treat Carapaz's knee himself after his fall on the previous descent, gets down to the board and brings everyone back to the runaways.

Dan Martin and Benoît Cosnefroy, the last survivors of the breakaway that started at km 0, are back on the descent to Saint-Aventin.

The favorites are marked in the breeches in Peyresourde, but Quintana and Dumoulin lose their feathers in the descent.

In Loudenvielle, it was finally Guillaume Martin, who warmed up the day before in Lavaur, who won the sprint to everyone's surprise.

13h45

: A quick glance at the profile of the stage, which we will talk about again of course.

Three beautiful passes in the last 100 terminals before heading back down to Loudenvielle, there is plenty to do.

To see how the favorites will behave, knowing that we are only at the end of the first week. 

New appointment for the favorites with the first Pyrenean stage.

A series of Col de Menté, Port de Balès and Col de Peyresourde await the runners in the last 100 km.

Departure 13:35.

: 

YO LA COMPAGNIE.

I hope you are well, and above all, above all, that you have booked your Saturday afternoon.

No visit to grandpa grandma, no outing to the park, no little-café-it's-been-long-we-haven't-seen-each other, NOTHING.

Because today things will become severe in the Pyrenees. 

And here is the high mountain.

At the end of a trying first week, with already beautiful climbs in the hinterland of Nice and the Cévennes, the Tour de France peloton arrives today in the Pyrenees.

The arrival will not be at the top, but with the series Col de Menté, Port de Balès and Peyresourde in less than 100 km, there is something to do for the most motivated, before crossing the line at Loudenvielle.

We can not wait to see if the favorites will take the opportunity to start placing their pawns ... provided they have recovered well from yesterday's crazy stage, run over 47 on average and in which it was necessary to whip to avoid the fateful border.
