On the final climb of the day, the Col du Portillon, Robert Gesnik (Lotto NL Jumbo) jumped free of the dwindling break away. With a sharp drop down to the finish town of Bagneres de Luchon it was a strong probablility that whomever went over the top first would take the stage win. Gesnik's attack was covered by Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain-Merida) as the pair charged up the final five kilometers to the summit. Behind, you can just catch sight of Adam Yates (Mitchelton Scott) trying to bridge across to the leaders. Spoiler alert, he did. And was in the lead on the descent until he slid out in a wet corner.
