Once Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) has sat up from his covered attack of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) Felix Gall (Ag2r-Citroen) was able to get back up to their wheels. The attacks had meant that the trio had caught and dropped every stage hopeful that had been up the road at the base of the Col de Platzerwasel. Now they were all watching each other. With five kilometers to the end of the stage, there wasn't enough room to get the kind of gap Pogacar needed on Vingegaard to retake the Yellow Jersey, but there was the hope of reclaiming his since of self. Felix Gall was just hoping the two would mark each other and let him ride away to take the stage. I doubt it, I think both of the others very much want to win a mountain stage in this Tour.
