After Van Baarle and Cort brought over the pursuing group, Bettiol gave it another go with Zimmermann in the closing 10 kilometres.

As the group of leading riders grew to a dozen, Bettiol was the one to crack, allowing Sanchez to make the move that appeared to be the deciding one, the Spanish veteran exploiting his knowledge of the course to time his breakaway perfectly on the gradual ascent.

Schultz was in the lead of the chase, but Sanchez’s teammate Wright was keeping track of his every move, setting up a dramatic climax.

While Schultz and Jorgenson grabbed Sanchez shortly after he reached the top of the rise, other riders fought back in trickles, inspired by Van Baarle’s connection right below the flamme rouge. The route continued to climb for another two kilometres.

Final Words

Cort was one of the riders who wouldn’t give up, and he eventually won the Tour de France for a second time, four years after his first victory.

The 29-year-old, who took part in the first four breakaways of this Tour and set a new record by reaching the top of the first eleven consecutive hills while wearing polka dots, thoroughly deserved his victory.
