Stage 10
Saint-Flour > Albi
217,5 km - Flat

Yesterday saw Mitchelton-Scott rider Daryl Impey take the win. It was a day that didn't make any relevant changes to the overall standings. There was some criticism towards Alaphilippe and Thibaut Pinot by rival team leaders– Dan Martin, Jakob Fuglsang and Bauke Mollema – complained that they had been motorbike assisted during the crucial closing kilometers.

Normally today is the rest day, but this was pushed back till tomorrow. The riders have a nice 217,5 km spin from Saint-Flour > Albi. The route is not flat enough to be an certain sprint finish but not grueling enough to suggest the sprinters will be left behind by a fast breakaway.

Riders to Watch
Lotto-Soudal will be determined, as Caleb Ewan has not yet won a stage. He is the only one of the big-name sprinters not to have done so. Elia Viviani, Peter Sagan and Dylan Groenewegen will all have their eye on becoming the first rider to pick up multiple stage wins in this Tour.

- Going to go with a Peter Sagan Win today.
