Real nice stage with fights from A to almost Z. That's the kind of stages I was talking about before the tour started, where, despite (almost) zero GC fight, there is some action along almost the whole stage.

It wasn't one of those breakaways which remain grouped most of the stage. No, there were plenty of attacks and splits.

Impressive Plapp (🇦🇺 Jayco). Hardworking Ulissi (🇮🇹 Astana) and Kelderman (🇳🇱 Visma).

Bardet🇫🇷's level is embarrassing. In order to win something, he would need to be in a breakaway on a mountain stage, a breakaway with zero climber... (and that no GC rider wishes to win the stage).

Gaudu🇫🇷 didn't look too bad. Of course the main climb was climbed slowly, but in the last little bump before the finish, which separated the peloton, he remained in the first group of 30 riders.
