Winding It Up TDU18-9
Having gone under the red kite marking the final kilometer of the stage, it was time to wind up the uphill sprint. Robert Gesnik (Lotto NL Jumbo) led the peloton around the final bend with just 500 meters to go. Two of those tucked onto his wheel were Rui Costa (UAE United Emirates) and Jay McCarthy (Bora-Hansgrohe). Sorry that I wasn't able to get the names of the EF Education First-Drapac and FDJ riders. A little futher back are Daryl Impey and Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-Scott) trying to make sure a gap doesn't open up.
