Wout Poels (Bahrain-Victorious) may not have been the strongest descender in the break away, but he was definitely shinning when the road went up for the final ascend of the day. He had dropped those that he had been with in the previous post and went off in hopes of getting that long sought for stage victory in the Tour de France. Just ahead of him was one of the many motorcycles that carry the press still photographers. Unlike the infamous moment yesterday (I didn't paint the motorcycles impeding Pogacar's attack of Vingegaard), this moto stayed out of the way, nor did they provide a draft for Poels on his ascent up to Saint Gervais les Bains on Mont Blanc.
