The Stage started at 12:05 local time CEST (6 hrs ahead of US EDT).

velonews.com - "This stage is making its third appearance in eight years, and is quickly turning into a classic. It hits riders with two hard climbs in the last 40km. The 15.5km, 7.9-percent hors-cat Port de Pailhères softens riders up for the 7.8km Cat.1 climb to the Ax-3 Domaines finish. The last 5km of the Pailhères switchbacks up a 10-foot-wide “road.” The final 7.8km climb is much wider, but is still plenty difficult, with an average grade of 8.2 percent. "

I’ve been waiting for this stage.

Andy picks up at least a minute on this one.
