Having escaped alone for a long time, before being joined by Pierre Latour and Nans Peters, the French rider was unable to cope with the peloton.
Jasper Philipsen does it again. Already a winner in Bayonne and Nogaro, the Belgian from the Alpecin-Deceuninck team again won in a bunch sprint, this time in Bordeaux, for the seventh stage, Friday July 7th. After returning consecutively to Simon Guglielmi (Team Arkea Samsic)Nans Peters (AG2R Citroën Team) then Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies)the peloton got ready to reach the finish and thus prepare for the sprint.
A little behind in the final package, the co-record holder (34 victories) of success on the roads of the Tour, Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan Team), once thought he could take everyone by surprise by starting the sprint first. A little too far, but enough to grab his first podium on this Tour, with a good second place, promising for the future. On the eve of a stage that will better match his profile, Biniam Girmay (Intermarché Circus Wanty) pulled away to take third place.
