The 17 escapees are getting along well and widening the lead in these first kilometers of the climb to Galibier. At the moment there is a 2’46 margin between the peloton and the breakaway, although the breakaway has little chance of winning.
It is a 23 km pass, with an altitude of 1193 meters, with an average slope of 5.2%. 20 points will be awarded to the conqueror here and there is 19 km left to the finish line when we pass the highest point.
We have a big breakaway with 17 cyclists who, with 52 km to go, have a 1.55 margin on the peloton.
These are the members of this many escapes: Juul-Jensen, Bernard, Armirail, Gaudu, Grégoire, Madouas, Van Der Poel, Williams, Lazkano, Pierna, C. Rodríguez, Goossens, Barguil, Lutsenko, Eiking, Johannessen and Burgaudeau.
