With the lone attack of Ben O'Connor pulled back into the leading breakaway, it was Lenny Martinez (Bahrain-Victorious) who jumped clear in search of the King of the Mountain points just a few meters up the road. He was unchallenged by the group behind containing Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek), Michael Woods (Israel-Premier Tech), Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Bike), and Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost). From this group he was the lone Frenchman hoping to make his mark on this Bastille Day. In addition, with these points he becomes the virtual Maillot a Pois. And with this climb, he is ensured that the French will have one of their own on the podium on their day of independence.
