Ide Schelling grabs a point at the top of the Cadoudal coast, and releases his effort
As expected, the first tie in the polka dot jersey standings scratched his point to take the best climber jersey.
He then releases his effort and waits to be caught by the peloton.
What a panache!

Hello everyone, and let's start right away with the anticipated summary of the stage:
Finally the right to a nap? After two very lively stages for puncheurs, return to normal on this 2021 Tour de France with a flat stage between Lorient and Pontivy. Nothing like this for the favorites, Pogacar and Roglic, who had to work hard not to waste too much time against Alaphilippe on Saturday, then Van Der Poel on Sunday. They will stay hidden away in the middle of the peloton and be taken effortlessly to the finish line.
The polka-dot jersey, Ide Schelling, second in the general classification will try to grab his two small points for the classification of best climber on the Cadoudal hill, then on that of Pluméliau. Tired of these false Breton coasts, his rivals are reserving for the Alps. The sprinters, who will want to redo the high dragee, will quickly get back to the finish in Pontivy which is promised to them. Sagan, overtaken by the returning Cavendish and annoyed to have been caught in the fall on Saturday, will elbow and in turn cause a huge fall in the peloton just before the finish. As well as the anger of Christian Prud'homme who will immediately file a complaint. But the Slovak will remain untraceable throughout the end of the race, hidden in the same car as the spectator the other day.
What a tribute to Opi! After Julian Alaphilippe's masterclass on the first stage, which allowed him to wear the yellow jersey on Sunday, it was Mathieu Van Der Poel, Poulidor's grandson who caused a sensation during the second day of this Tour de France 2021. By achieving a nice double blow: the stage victory and the yellow jersey, recovered from Alaphilippe for 8 seconds, the bonus obtained during his first passage at the top of Mur de Bretagne. In 14 participations, Poulidor had never worn the yellow jersey, it is done for his grandson after only two stages for his first participation in the Tour de France. Unbelievable. What message sent. This Monday, it should be quieter with an entirely flat stage, suitable for breakaways?
