Both Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) had traded attacks all of the way up and down the Col de Joux Plane. But by the time they swept into Morzine, the two found themselves chasing a lone leader, Carolos Rodriguez (Ineos-Grenadiers). The two were so focused on each other over the top of the final climb, they didn't jump onto the wheel as he went pass. Each wanted to catch the guy up the road, since there was an eight second bonus for the stage winner. Second and third place carried five and three seconds respectively. Vingegaard had gained a net three seconds over the bonus point atop the climb increasing his virtual lead to eleven seconds. The way they are flying into town, it is highly unlikely the jersey will change hands today. It is even more likely that tomorrow's stage is going to be bonkers.
