The road
At the start
A flat day, and Van der Poel is gone
Mathieu van der Poel did not start yesterday — pneumonia, ending a Tour in which he won a stage and twice took the yellow jersey. Ventoux moved nothing at the top: Tadej Pogačar leads Jonas Vingegaard by 4:15. Today is a transition to Valence, 161 kilometres with two modest cols and a flat run-in, and Jonathan Milan's green jersey has room to grow.
How it was won
- 16 km to go
Rain and a late crash
Rain lashes the run to Valence and a high-speed crash in the final kilometres takes down sprinters and GC men alike.
