For the first time in recent memory, a breakaway failed to form on a stage not heading to Paris at the Tour de France. An exceptionally odd occurrence, which led to a slow day for both the riders and the onlookers. Wout van Aert won the mass sprint in front of Cees Bol of Team Sunweb, after a fantastic lead-out by the German outfit. Julian Alaphilippe also lost the yellow jersey in controversial fashion. The Maillot Jaune now sits on the shoulders of Brit, Adam Yates.
