This will not be an easy stage either, I expect a reduced peloton at the end with a couple more GC hopefuls falling out of contention.

On the second categorised climb Ineos order the other teams to up the pace except Deceuninck. The other teams comply furiously. Alaphilippe pops out and takes the bonus seconds on the last climb. Pinot follows. They follow the bike winning by ten seconds. Matthews wins the sprint for third. Ineos tick off another day. Vive Le Tour.
