Carlos Rodriguez, 4th at 4:22

Adam Yates, 5th at 4:39
Wearer of the yellow jersey at the start of the Tour, he is in the service of Tadej Pogacar. But he never relaxes his effort and wants to achieve a good general classification. He has the qualities to finish in the top 5.

Simon Yates, 6th at 4:44
Fell in the incident with a spectator who involved Steff Cras on the road to Limoges, Simon Yates lost 47 seconds there. Without this setback, he would be 4th. In the mountains, it seems the airiest behind Pogacar and Vingegaard.

Thomas Pidcock, 7th at 5:26
He took advantage of his superb climb of the Puy de Dôme to reposition himself in the general classification. But the profile of the stage suited him well, with only one difficult climb in the final. The sequence of alpine passes might be less favorable to it.
