From being off the back on the penultimate climb of the day to out sprinting the leaders to claim the stage, Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal) had a rather exceptional stage. With her efforts she moved herself into the top ten just seventeen seconds behind the woman who finished second today, Cedrine Kerboal (EF Education-Oatly). Not only did Puck Peiterse (Fenix-Premier Tech) increase her lead in the Queen of the Mountains competition, she finished third on the day, too. Behind them, it was the local woman (and French Champion) Celia Gery (FDJ United-Suez) only managed fifth. She was awarded the most combative rider of the day much to the delight of the fans. Fifth went to Liane Lippert (Movistar). I feel like she was conflicted on whether to ride for herself or to help pull her teammate and Maillot Jaune closer to these leaders. The Yellow Jersey group came in half a minute after the winner, but it wasn't enough to affect the top of the general classification, since they were all together.
