The anticipated summary of the stage:
A group of twenty riders escape, including Alaphilippe, in search of a stage victory, Benoît Cosnefroy, in search of points and ... damn it, Marc Hirshi again!
The Swiss of the Sunweb does not stop absolutely, he spends his days at the forefront.
A kind of Mountain Offer, plus the victories.
Unfortunately for the guys ahead, today it will not go to the end.
On the steepest slopes of the Col de la Biche, Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana and Miguel Angel Lopez launch the "Colom-back" operation and pack up to the great surprise of Pogacar and Roglic, who this time decide to control from afar.
Mistake.
The agreement is perfect, the two men having made a pact the night before on a whatsapp chat.
Setpoint?
Everyone takes over until the red flame, where we then give ourselves the right to compete for the stage.
In this game, it is Bernal who wins ahead of Quintana.
Lopez, weakened by a 36th fall, conceded about thirty seconds.
Roglic and Pogacar finished five seconds after the leader of Astana.
The yellow jersey is still Slovenian, but largely weakened.
Hi les Minutos, I hope you have a very good Sunday, because I can guarantee you that this will not be the case with the peloton, which will have to fill the Grand Colombier by three different slopes, the last of which will arrive at the summit that we hope will bring surprises.
Because for the moment, this duel Slovenia against the rest of the world is cut short.
Primoz Roglic and Tadej Pogacar seem unplayable and if the Colombian armada remains in ambush (Bernal, Uran, Quintana, Lopez), it will have to start thinking of a counterattack before it is too late.
The ground today is conducive to beautiful flights.
You still have to have the legs to.
