Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) was having a very, very rough day. Apparently having digestive issues which left him suffering and decorating the road (and his jersey) he struggled to continued to stay in the Tour de France. He has been a strong support rider for his team leader Tadej Pogacar. The desire to be able to help Pogacar retake the Maillot Jaune in the next two days may be the only reason he stayed on the bike today. He had been left by everyone but the Boiture Balai (literally translating as car broom). The Broom Wagon is there to pick up riders who climb off their bikes long after their team cars have gone up the road to be the peloton. Soler did fight all of the way to the finish in Foix, but he came in over 57 minutes after the stage winner which was outside the time limit for the day. That translate to a brave ride that respected the Tour de France, but was still his ticket to head home to Spain just over the mountains he struggled over today.
