Heading 1: The Dominance of Tadej Pogacar
Tadej Pogacar has been the dominant rider in the Tour de France, with a 2-minute lead on the General Classification. His big win up to Plateau de Bay showcased his strength and determination in this year’s race. However, his true test came in a 200 km long stage with four category 1 steep climbs.
Heading 2: The Breakaway Formation
As the breakaway formation began uphill on the Peris-Surdo, riders like Mato Jorgenson and Adam Yates tried to make their move. The break was not going anywhere on the opening climb, but eventually, riders like Las Caro and G Fight fought it out for the King of the Mountains points. However, the break failed to form and it was on the descent and the valley that the race truly began.

Bob Jungels and Ji Hinley broke away from the peloton in the valley, with Hinley trying to keep Richard Carapaz in check. The breakaway included serious climbers like Michael Matthews, Enric Mas, and Ji Henley. The next climb, called De Monte, saw the breakaway riders fighting to stay ahead, but the GC teams were relentless in their chase.
Heading 4: The Pressure Mounts
With Wilco Kelderman leading the charge, the breakaway lost time on the climbs. The group was down to about 15 riders, with riders like Vimer and Adam Yates still in the mix. The breakaway lost even more time on the Port deir, signaling trouble for riders like Carapaz and Henley who were hoping for a stage win.
Heading 5: The Final Climb to Plateau de Bay
As the race exploded on the final climb, riders like Jorgensen and Vingard pushed the pace. Pogacar remained glued to Vingard’s wheel, showing his strength and determination. The breakaway riders attacked each other in a last-ditch effort to stay ahead, but Pogacar was unshakeable.
