The road
At the start
Evenepoel gone, a day for the break
Remco Evenepoel climbed off on the Tourmalet yesterday and Mattias Skjelmose went home with him, so the podium has reshuffled: Tadej Pogačar leads Jonas Vingegaard by 4:13, with Florian Lipowitz now third at 7:53. Today runs east out of the Pyrenees to Carcassonne, three small climbs early and nothing at all inside the last fifty kilometres.
How it was won
- 44 km to go
Wellens commits
More than 40km from the line Tim Wellens attacks alone from the break and commits to a long solo raid toward the medieval walls of Carcassonne.
