Hoping for the Stage TdF23-134
Yes, everyone went out today hoping that this, their last chance, would be the stage to win. Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) a local favorite was pushing the pace up the Petit Ballon, a climb he has ridden many, many times. He has a fellow countryman on his wheel, Warren Barguil (Arkea-Samsic) along with the Brit Tom Pidcock (Ineos-Greandiers). Pidcock was hoping to move up on the general classification, not the Pinot nor Barguil would have minded that either. But the Frenchmen were looking mainly for stage honors on this the last competitive day in the Tour.
