One hundred and seventy-two riders remain in the 2015 Tour de France after Stage 14, leaving the race without a fulcrum. Simon Yates of Orica GreenEdge, who got into the break (if indeed it was Simon and not his twin, Adam) and Reto Hollenstein of IAM Cycling held Les Cuspides at the end of the stage. Wouter Poels, who held the Point D’Appui on Stages 12 and 13, dropped five places.
Steve Morabito of FDJ.fr and Ramon Sinkeldam of Team Giant-Alpecin were unable to finish the day, and Eduardo Sepulveda of Bretagne-Séché Environnement was disqualified for hitching a ride for about a hundred meters in an AG2R team car after his bicycle had mechanical problems on the final climb up to Mende.
Chris Froome of Sky gained another second over his rivals in the GC competition, and Sam Bennett of Bora-Argon 18 retains the Lanterne Rouge.
