Due to a heavy day of mountains and rain, considerable changes occurred in the rankings of the 2021 Tour de France with a change in the both the yellow jersey and the gray jersey, Warren Barguil of Team Arkea-Samsic becoming the latest rider to hold the latter.

Barguil is riding his seventh Tour de France. He won two stages in the 2017 edition as well the polka dot jersey and finished 10th overall that year. He also won two stages in the Vuelta a España way back in 2013. Although a strong mountain climber, he’s playing second fiddle to Arkea teammate Nairo Quintana.

Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates obliterated the field of general classification riders with impressive climbs over the Côte de Mont-Saxonnex, the Col de Romme and finally the Col de la Colombière, gaining almost 2 minutes over the next best rider, Wout Van Aert of Jumbo-Visma.

Dylan Teuns of Bahrain Victorious won the stage, and Roger Kluge of Lotto Soudal remains the Lanterne Rouge, 1 hour and 33 minutes adrift of Pogacar.
