The road
At the start
A finish on a motor racing circuit
Nothing moved in Bayonne and little is likely to move today: Adam Yates keeps yellow by six seconds from Tadej Pogačar and Simon Yates, with Jonas Vingegaard sixth at 17. Today is 181 flat kilometres across the Landes to Nogaro, where the Tour finishes on the Circuit Paul Armagnac — an 800-metre motor-racing straight, wide enough for every lead-out train to fit side by side.

In a tumultuous sprint on the Nogaro motor circuit, Bryan Coquard tangles with an Uno-X rider and slams the right-hand barrier as Van der Poel unfurls his lead-out.
