It was one of the toughest days of the Tour de France, and while the front of the race saw Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) go one better after his second in the bunch sprint the day before to win a mountain stage, at the back it was the man who beat Van Aert the day before that finished one of the furthest behind, rolling over the line 40 minutes and 40 seconds in arrears.
The green jersey holder beat the time cut by seven minutes after almost six hours of racing, finishing alongside Deceuninck-QuickStep teammates Davide Ballerini, Michael Mørkøv, Tim Declercq and Dries Devenyns.
