A large and strong breakaway group formed and a real battle eventuated on the final major climb of the day, with one young rider running away victorious.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Niesen. |
| 0:03.6 | Stage 16 of the Tour de France on the menu today as well as Shera Rose's stage 4. |
| 0:08.2 | State 16 was straight after the second rest day yesterday, |
| 0:11.9 | 164 kilometer stage starting in the |
| 0:14.7 | tour of Pn finishing in Villard de la Coate 2000. We're going to see some 8,000 was |
| 0:21.0 | later. There was as we yesterday, a couple of climbs straight out the gate, including a category 4, and then an intermediate sprint at 45Ks to go, so maybe there was going to be another fierce battle between |
| 0:33.0 | bor and the kernic for that intermediate sprint those then the colder port second |
| 0:36.9 | cat 8.3 k is at 6.3 percent and then descent into another second cat k Cuts for Ravel 7.2k 7.1%, then a bit of a valley and then category 1 climb, the Monte |
| 0:50.3 | Dus Saint Nizier du Mucherucheotte with bonus seconds on top 12.5 k is at 6.3% and then a plateau straight after that |
| 0:59.4 | so downhill plateau 2.5k's and 6.5% was the finale, category 3 climb. So it could have been in, you know, on paper, could be an interesting stage, but you've got the Coe de la Loe's beastly |
| 1:16.0 | stage, stage 17, so just bear that in mind. |
| 1:19.1 | So what happened with the breakaway forming Benji and the intermediate sprint? |
| 1:24.0 | Was there a change in what Boro was doing the other day? |
| 1:28.0 | Yeah, there was. The start was lighting up quite quickly. |
| 1:31.0 | We had plenty of the teams trying to get into the breakaway because today was a stage that |
| 1:36.4 | Basically was made for the breakaway. I did not expect Jumbo to control this stage. I don't think you did either |
| 1:42.4 | I think the majority of people watching did not expect |
| 1:45.1 | Jumbo to care too much about who wins this stage either at the start we had plenty |
| 1:49.6 | of teams attacking but the main team that we expected to attack after yesterday was in the |
| 1:54.9 | odds because their leader was decapitated, better now and because of that they |
| 2:00.8 | basically said on the rest day that the other people have carte blanche, free cards a bit, |
| 2:07.0 | to go into the breakaway and try and aim for stage wins, probably in a more tactical way than just going all for themselves obviously but |
