Burgaudeau is a bird for the cat. The lead of the Frenchman from Total Energies is shrinking visibly. What was once a gap of almost 6 minutes has now become only a gap of more than half a minute.
- 2:08 pm. Fine on the bone. The peloton does not seem to be planning to fish behind the net today. The men from Groenewegen, among others, secretly sneak closer and closer to Burgaudeau. Yet the Frenchman – with a past as a fisherman – will not be caught just like that. Burgaudeau spent the 2020 lockdown mainly at sea. His dad owns a fishing boat, where he then went to lend a hand. Today he is the bait. .

- 13h52. Favorites in a bunch sprint? The Dauphiné is not the most favorite destination for the sprint bombs in the cycling world. But despite the many altimeters this week, some fast men are coming to test their legs. After two times just not for the purebred sprinters, today could be D-Day for a royal mass sprint. For example, today we mainly look at Dylan Groenewegen and Sam Bennett, on paper the fastest men in the pack. But don’t write off Christophe Laporte, Matteo Trentin or Hugo Hofstetter if it were to be another war of attrition. There is also a line behind the names of outsiders such as Ethan Vernon, Lionel Taminiaux, Jon Aberasturi, Axel Zingle, Danny van Poppel and our compatriots Milan Menten and Maxim Van Gils. .
