Several riders tried escaping early in the stage making for a very complicated race for some, as the pace was pushed to the limit throughout a long time. Antoine Duchesne, Olivier Le Gac, Max Schachmann, Owain Doull and Jonas Rutsch had a go at the front, caught inside the final 10 kilometers.
With six kilometers to go Tadej Pogacar himself launched an attack off the front, having Filippo Ganna in the wheel in a last big to escape the peloton, however with too many riders having the legs to follow the wheels which saw the peloton gaining back it's volume.
Team BikeExchange - Jayco had the leadout dialed for the finale at the French avenue, however with Dylan Groenewegen being put in the wind too early. Jasper Philipsen took the opportunity to cross the line first with a dominant win, with Dylan Groenewegen and Alexander Kristoff completing the podium.

- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
