Occitanie welcomes the Tour de France

The peloton spent stage 12 in the historical region of Occitanie, renowned for its stunning landscapes, charming medieval towns, and incredible legends which have stirred the imagination of kings, knights, troubadours in the Middle Ages, when people used their limitless imagination to bring to life new worlds and lay down the foundation of what would become the Renaissance.
It was a quiet day until the last 40 kilometers, when two separate crashes spread some panic in the bunch, just as it was increasing the speed in anticipation of the bunch sprint. Fortunately, none of the Soudal Quick-Step riders were involved in these incidents, which split the peloton and even ruined the lead-out trains.
The one who emerged victorious in Villeneuve-sur-Lot was Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty), while Remco Evenepoel concluded safely in the reduced bunch and kept hold of the white jersey, which sits on his shoulders since the end of the opening weekend. The stage seven winner continues to be second on the general classification, which shouldn’t see any significant changes in Pau, where the riders will travel to on Friday.
