The intermediate sprint in Grignols was an opportunity for the sprinters to stretch their legs and see if they were feeling good for the finale. Of course, there are points available in the competition to wear the Maillot Vert being sported by Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck). Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) has been slowly gathering points in most every sprint, but today the best of the rest went to Biniam Girmay (Intermache-Circus-Wanty). I say best of the rest, because the lone break away of Simon Gugleilmi (Arkea-Samsic) was still up the road. A number of other sprinters gave it a go, but it was these three who got the maximum points still available. Is this any hint for the end of the stage in Bordeaux?
