The sprinters in the suit will breathe a sigh of relief as they check out the course of stage 7. No climbing tomorrow, but 170 flat kilometers towards Bordeaux. Will Philipsen do it again or will one of the other fast men take revenge? Follow it from 2.35 pm on VRT 1 or via the live stream on this page.
12 noon 16. Pyrenees recap. Who are the big losers in the GC after the Pyrenees? In all the hectic pace of yesterday and the day before yesterday, it was sometimes difficult to keep an overview, so we would like to sum it up for you. Victor Lafay (Cofidis) and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) tumbled (far) away from their 4th and 5th place after 4 stages, you can’t really call them GC men. Those who did see their GC ambitions destroyed in the Pyrenees are Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) and Michael Woods (Israel-Premier Tech). They lost respectively 8 minutes (Skjelmose) and 23 minutes (Woods) yesterday. .

12 o’clock 06. Long transfer. After a grueling mountain stage yesterday, one of the longest journeys in this Tour was also on the program. Between yesterday’s arrival place Cauterets and today’s starting place Mont-de-Marsan is a good 2 hours by car. The Tour caravan is actually back in the region of Dax and Nogaro, where stage 4 took place. With a spectacular southward trip of 2 days in the Pyrenees as a snack. .

12 o’clock 01. All sprinters may have survived the Pyrenees, but how much energy is left in their legs? Especially with Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-Quick Step), the question is whether his ravaged body can handle a bunch sprint. .

11:54 am. Day 7 is for the sprinters. The easiest ride of this Tour so far in terms of altimeters: only 800 over a distance of 170 kilometers. Only stage 16 and – of course – the final stage in Paris are a bit easier than today’s stage. A welcome flat day after the solid two days in the Pyrenees. .

07-07-2023.17 pm 05. Rich Belgian history. History already speaks in favor of our compatriots. Of the 56 times the Tour ended in Bordeaux, the Belgians won no less than 15. Eddy Merckx took the victory 4 times, Freddy Maertens and Tom Steels were also cheering. .

5 pm 01. Philipsen again? Everything points to a bunch sprint tomorrow. The eyes will therefore be focused on Jasper Philipsen. De Vlam van Ham easily mastered the previous sprint stages in this Tour. Tomorrow again? Or will we get a smile on the face of another sprinter? Jakobsen will want revenge for the missed opportunities in stages 3 and 4, Bauhaus and Ewan also want to finish on the highest scaffold after places 2 and 3. .

4:56 pm. Trail. Not too many difficulties on the course of stage 7. There is only one climb between Mont-de-Marsan and Bordeaux. The Côte de Béguey is a pimple of 1.2 kilometers at 4.4%, the top is more than 50 kilometers from the finish. The chance that the sprinters will be surprised there is very small. .
