Again, another title with more than one interpretation. As Enric Mas (Movistar) and Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) neared the top of the final climb, the Col de Peyresoule, a small gap opened between them and those ahead, ahead both on the road and on the general classification. Both Phil Liggett and Bob Roll were amazed and delighted to see just how many fans were lining the road to cheer on the Tour. I was pleased to see that virtually everyone was wearing a mask. Although I did notice that the guy on the right in the red stripe shirt holding the Spanish flag was doing the ridiculous classic. He was wearing a mask, but had it pulled down below his nose and mouth. I oft want to ask those who do this, just exactly what protection they think that provides? But his actions didn't seem to dampen the enthusiasm of the Basque supports cheering on the race.
But I digress, the other small gap was what the cheering tifosi were allowing for the race to pass by.
