"It's amazing to win a stage again. It was a good group, but we weren't collaborating very well, I felt good so I tried. It was a difficult final but I am super happy. "# TDF2021 pic.twitter.com/u2WmO3oDPS

Tadej Pogacar, he spent a quiet day.
None of his direct competitors attacked him in this stage which opens the passage of the Grande Boucle in the Pyrenees.
The Slovenian, in management, retained his yellow jersey and his lead of more than five minutes over his main rivals.
The winner of the Tour de France 2020 has a new runner-up in the person of Guillaume Martin.
The Frenchman, ninth in the general classification before this stage, settled in the breakaway.
Arriving eleventh at 1'28 behind Mollema, Martin thus climbs back to second place in the general classification, ahead of the Colombian Rigoberto Uran (at 1 (14) and 4'04 behind Tadej Pogacar.
