Chris Froome proved that his strong performance in Mercan'Tour Classic one month before the Tour was not a fluke and finished third from a breakaway on stage 12, beating such strong climbers as Giulio Ciccone and Neilson Powless on Alpe d'Huez. There was a stalemate in the GC battle between Pogacar and Vingegaard whilst Quintana and Gaudu suffered, with Kuss, Pogačar, Vingegaard, Mas and Thomas setting the fastest times on the legendary climb since 2006.
