Despite their best efforts these eight guys were gaining on the two former companions now twenty-one seconds up the road. Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates) usually was most skilled at chasing down breaks, it is kind of his job on the UAE team. His teammate the American Brandon McNulty was hoping that Wellens would spend the energy that allowed him to go for the stage victory. Behind Wellens is Jordan Jegat (TotalEnergies) who is followed by his countryman Clement Braz Alfonso (Groupama FDJ-United). The rest of the group was comprised of the man to be named the most combative rider of the day, Tom Pidcock (Pinarello-Q36.5), Luke Plapp (Jayco-Alula), Kevin Vauquelin (Netcompany-Ineos) and Maxim Van Gils (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe). I suspect these eight will be vying for the final step of the podium in Belfort. Regardless, Pidcock has moved way up the general classification into fourth place now. He turned out to be the one to beat the others across the line to claim third on the stage.
