An outcome of the episode marked by falls, on a day where disasters are the order of the day, with the team Ineos one of the worst. At the start of the day Welshman Geraint Thomas fell to the ground, taking a heavy blow. He struggled to get back on the bike and some doubts arose when after a few kilometers he stopped to check his knee. Fortunately he reached the finish line, which his partner in the British formation could not do arensman. The Dutchman was involved in an accident 5 kilometers from the finish with several runners involved, but he got the worst of it. He stayed on the ground and was quickly attended to by medical services, who put a collar on him and took him to an ambulance. On his side, a supportive Egan Bernal he is interested in the state of his partner. The Colombian was miraculously saved and must have had a good scare.
In fear of the body

And it is that no one is safe in the final bars of a stage like this Friday.

After almost 200 kilometers of sleep, a stage led by jose herrada and ander okamika -who got the prize for the most resistant rider for being the last to be neutralized- until the peloton wanted, the group ran amok, which together with the narrowing of the road, medians and roundabouts, mine territory for surprises.
Despite all these incidents, the sprinters managed to save the man. Everyone was warned about the last corner before the final stretch. the australian Groveswinner of the two sprints, was the top favourite, but he did not come out of the turn well positioned and although he gave it his all he could not deal with the four riders ahead of him, a quartet of which the best was the French Geoffrey Soupepreceded by Venezuelan Orluis Aular from Caja Rural, staying at the gates would have been of great importance for the moderate Navarrese formation. Fourth win for Soupe as a professional, first in entity and eighth for his team this season, first outdoors France.
