For the second time in this Tour de France, Thymen Arensman (Ineos-Grenadiers) covered his face in disbelief as he won a mountain top finish in the rain. He did it in the Pyrenees with Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) chasing him all of the way up the climb. The first time he had been in the early breakaway and just manage to be the last member of the early break that wasn't caught by the Tadej. Today, he actually attacked the group with the yellow jersey on the way up the final climb. When he went, Tadej and Jonas looked at each other and neither went after the tall Dutchman. Behind him, almost catching him in the last fifty meters, was Vingegaard just getting the better of Pogacar. Just in the distance you can see the white jersey of Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) who lost the leading two in the last kilometer of the stage. Those three represent the top three of this Tour. Most likely the podium is now set. Likewise, the jersey seemed to be set, too. Pogacar has both Yellow and Polka Dots. Lipowitz has the White, and way, way, way down the mountain Jonathan Milan has the Green Jersey. The mountains are now done, and there are just two more stages to race including Paris.
