Welcome back to the segmentsgmental Tour Daily Podcast, everybody. We're coming to you from Sad French

Corner, site of Teepop Pino, and Roman Bardet getting overhauled by Steve Cummings last time.

pocket jersey unzipped about a minute before that we saw Michael Matthews, the first

rider to pass us of the race shaking his head in disbelief, I think, that he's infiltrated the

break away which, you know who not he

back then he knew the tactic of that maybe it'd been better to wait for a sprint

but he hit out on the climb after the breakaway got whittled down

Betil caught him, passed him, dropped him.

had quite a big gap by the flat

after the top of the climb,

and an impressive victory.
