Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) was able to hang with the breakaway from the large breakaway over the final two climbs of the day thus being able to sprint it out for the stage win in Foix. It wasn't really in question that he would win the sprint as he was the only sprinter left out of the remaining ten. Clearly, he won handedly as you can tell by this view of his victory salute. His teammate, who had helped to bring him to the line, Quinn Simmons, took second on the stage just ahead of Pablo Castrillo (Movistar). It would be another fourteen minutes before the erstwhile Maillot Jaune and the rest of the peloton got to this point in downtown Foix. Tomorrow, Pedersen will start the sprint stage already in the sprinter's Green Jersey. Chapeau!
