Race report
After a fast opening with 51 kms done in the first hour it’s with 60 kms done Daniel Navarro, Tom Dumoulin and Mikael Chérel attack. They are accompanied by 10 more riders, among them Michael Matthews, who takes the intermediate sprint.
Poels, Dumoulin and Navarro forge on, while Alaphilippe and Bennett bridge over. Yet, when climbing up the Tourmalet Pinot and Majka are in the lead, while Tony Martin bridges over. Early on yellow jersey Van Avermaet gets dropped, same story for Nibali. Alaphilippe can’t follow the pace on the higher slopes.
Both at the Tourmalet and the Hourquette d’Ancizan Pinot is the first to crest, ahead of Majka and Martin.
While climbing the Col de Val Louron-Azet the leaders are reeled in one after the other. Pinot gets dropped from the pack without delay. Poels is the first to crest ahead of Froome and Majka. The Pole takes the lead in the KOM-classification.
At the Peyresourde Poels and Majka are dropped early on and after attacks by Henao, Valverde, Froome and Martin (Daniel) Contador has to let go. He crests half a minute down on the leaders.
Froome is the first at the top and he attacks in the descent to power to victory.
