Attacks were flying from the start, but it took tens of kms for the break to form. Arnaud De Lie, Cedric Beullens, Bryan Coquard, and Mathieu van der Poel attacked in the streets of Lourdes.
The peloton kept chasing until Oier Lazkano, KĂ©vin Vauquelin, RaĂşl GarcĂa Pierna, and Magnus Cort bridged across. A second group featuring Ben Healy, Michal Kwiatkowski, David Gaudu, Louis Meintjes, and Alexey Lutsenko bridged across on the Tourmalet.
Oier Lazkano was the first rider to crest the Tourmalet. The chasing group was down to Michał Kwiatkowski, Bruno Armirail, David Gaudu, Mathieu van der Poel, Ben Healy, Sean Quinn, Louis Meintjes, Alexey Lutsenko, and Magnus Cort. The peloton was almost 4 minutes adrift.
The lead group was down to Kwiatkowski, Gaudu, Healy, Lazkano, and Meintjes on the Hourquette d’Ancizan. Gaudu outsprinted Lazkano at the summit to take the most KOM points.
The GC group tackled the finishing climb 1.20 minutes behind the five leaders.
Healy sped up on the early slopes, and Gaudu followed him like a shadow. Another acceleration by the Irishmen, and he was alone in the lead.
