I meant to use 'won" and not 'one' in the title. I do love a play on words. Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma), who is French, jumped out of the sprint trains and went off ahead of the peloton with just meters to go. He first got onto the wheels of the remnants of the late break but then started his sprint as the lead out men behind wound it up for their sprinters. Laporte had been leading out his team's sprinter Wout Van Aert on nearly every stage in both the intermediate sprints and in the finales that the two were there to contest. With this win, the French finally have a win by one of their countrymen and Laporte got his chance to win a stage. Plus I think this means the sixth win for Jumbo-Visma. Plus the team has three of the four leaders' jerseys. Clearly they are the dominate team despite Ineos-Grenadiers leading in the team competition by over a half hour. In the background you can see Jasper Philipsen (Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl) who will have to settle for being the best of the rest in Cahors.
