[SPOILERS]
The most interesting point in the Tour de France leading up to today was that Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard let a number of racers fight it out a few days ago at very high temperature in a breakaway. Torstein Traeen took the yellow jersey by almost 8 minutes.
Today was payback. Pogacar blows away the pack and beats Vingegaard by 2:38 in this stage. Traeen crashes and falls way back. Pogacar now takes the yellow and leads Vingegaard by 2:42 and Isaac del Toro by 3:27 for the tour.
