As the visit heads into the Pyrenees appropriate, a breakaway including some huge names like van Aert, Alaphilippe and Valverde battled to attempt to make that big appearance in front of the pursuing GC bunch. Woods, Poels and Quintana indeed exchanged blows the lord of the mountains contest.

With four monster Pyrenean climbs, 4,500m of all out height acquire and a visit to 2,408m elevation, stage 15 is perhaps the hardest phase of the race and a day that numerous riders will fear from the second they leave Brest this Saturday. Climbing may begin decisively, however it's not until the riders go through the transitional run in Olette that they'll hit the foot of the primary ordered trip - the Montée de Mont-Louis (8.4km at 5.7%). This trip then, at that point offers way to the tamer Col de Puymorens (5.8km at 4.7%) before the most elevated move of the current year's Tour - the Port d'Envalira (10.7km at 5.9%) - pops up.
