How it was won

  1. 34 km to go

    Chaos on the Peyra Taillade

    AG2R throw everything at the steep Col de Peyra Taillade to isolate Froome, and the yellow jersey is briefly in trouble amid a mechanical and a frantic chase back.

  2. 30 km to go

    Mollema flies away

    On the long descent with 29km to go, Bauke Mollema attacks the 28-rider breakaway and rides clear alone toward Le Puy-en-Velay.

  3. 15 km to go

    Holding off the chase

    Over the short Côte de Saint-Vidal Mollema clings to a slender lead as Ulissi, Gallopin, Roglič and Barguil try in vain to organise a pursuit.

  4. At the line

    Mollema’s first Tour win

    Bauke Mollema solos into Le Puy-en-Velay for his maiden Tour stage, while Quintana haemorrhages ten minutes and tumbles out of the top ten.
