Race report
Mads Pedersen attacks after 6 kilometres, aiming for the intermediate sprint at kilometre 18.9. Wout Poels, Kevin Geniets, Frank van den Broek, Harold Tejada, and Magnus Cort track the Dane down.
The six are caught 2 kilometres before the intermediate sprint. Pedersen does not mind, he wins the sprint anyway.
In the course of the first climbs a break of 17 riders takes shape. Christopher Juul-Jensen, Julien Bernard, Bruno Armirail, David Gaudu, Romain Grégoire, Valentin Madouas, Mathieu van der Poel, Stephen Williams, Oier Lazkano, Raúl Pierna, Cristián Rodríguez, Kobe Goossens, Warren Barguil, Alexey Lutsenko, Odd Christian Eiking, Tobias Halland Johannessen, and Mathieu Burgaudeau put 3 minutes into the peloton.
Williams wins the KOM sprint in Sestrières and at the Col de Montgenèvre.
The attackers tackle the Galibier almost 3 minutes ahead of the peloton. It’s down to 1 minute when Lazkano heads out alone. Juul-Jensen, Gaudu, and Johannessen rejoin the Spaniard.
Lazkano goes again with 10 kilometres left to climb. Moments later, Simon Yates, Tom Pidcock, and yellow jersey Richard Carapaz are dropped from the GC group on the lower slopes of the Galibier.
While the atttackers are gobbled up, the GC is down to Juan Ayuso, João Almeida, Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel, Mikel Landa, Primoz Roglic, and Carlos Rodriguez in the last kilometre of the Galibier.
Pogacar accelerates in the last 800 metres of the climb. Vingegaard immediately sits on his wheel but is dropped 300 metres later. Pogacar earns a time bonus of 8 seconds, Vingegaard takes 4, Evenepoel 2.
Second by second, Pogačar pulls further away in the descent, while Rodriguez, Roglic and Ayuso open the chase on Vingegaard. They make the catch in the last 5 kilometres before Evenepoel also catches up a little later.
Pogacar flies to victory and regains the yellow jersey, while Evenepoel crosses the line 35 seconds later in second place. Vingegaard finishes another 2 seconds later in fifth.
Pogacar leads the Tour with a 45 seconds advantage over Evenepoel and 50 seconds over Vingegaard.
