After an acceleration from his teammate Isaac del Toro, the Slovenian left alone at the entrance to Mongie, a little over 4 km from the summit of the giant of the Pyrenees.

Friday’s stage
The day after the ascent of the Tourmalet, the peloton will set off from Hagetmau this Friday and leave the Pyrenees behind to reach Bordeaux via the Landes forests. A 175.1 km stage tailor-made for sprinters. A “high-speed explanation in front of the Place des Quinconces” awaits the runners just before the finish, explains Christian Prudhomme.
