Bob Jungels: “It’s hard to say how I feel right now. I’m overwhelmed. That’s huge, that’s why I came here. I know that means a lot to the team. After a couple of years of struggle, an L last year very hard with the surgeries, also to take the victory in this way, is my career style, my style of winning victories.
“I’m super happy to see that the shape is improving day by day, but to do something like that … I knew I had to try it from afar because on the last climb it wasn’t possible to get away from the favorites. I tried it “.

In the end there were just over a dozen riders in the GC group.
2022-07-10T15: 34: 33.941Z

2022-07-10T15: 32: 29.684Z
Jungels now on the finish line and about to take the win.
2022-07-10T15: 32: 02.974Z
Pinot’s second place is under threat, as Castroviejo and Verona face him.
2022-07-10T15: 31: 18.945Z
FALTA 1 KM
There is no possibility that the platoon will catch him: they are almost two minutes adrift.
2022-07-10T15: 30: 30.946Z
35 seconds now for Jungels. Given all his problems over the past few seasons, this will be an emotional victory if he can finish it.
2022-07-10T15: 28: 46.775Z
Pinot is making all sorts of faces as he forces himself to climb that climb, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t put himself in Jungels ’lead.
2022-07-10T15: 27: 00.379Z
THERE ARE 3 KM
Jungels is on the rise now, and the gap is widening! Up to more than 30 seconds now.
2022-07-10T15: 26: 05.860Z
4 KM
25 seconds between Jungels and Pinot, with Castroviejo and Verona 45 seconds away.
2022-07-10T15: 24: 44.062Z
Now it’s nearing the end of the descent, and Jungels looks good. However, there is a short, uncategorized climb to the finish, which could produce an additional twist.
2022-07-10T15: 22: 27.602Z
THERE ARE 7 KM
Jungels maintains his 20-second lead on the descent
2022-07-10T15: 21: 38.867Z

Jungels climbs first on the climb and Pinot arrives 22 seconds later.
2022-07-10T15: 18: 31.089Z
There is only 1 km left to climb, and a visibly tired Pinot no longer advances towards the Jungels lead, which has stabilized in 30 seconds. You have the feeling that you will have to catch him before the summit if you want to have a chance to win the stage.
2022-07-10T15: 15: 45.237Z
Time is running out for any attack among GC favorites. The group is still led by George Bennett of the UAE, and no other team is showing signs of making a move.
2022-07-10T15: 13: 45.169Z
Castroviejo and Verona also continue to compete, now just 25 seconds behind Pinot.
2022-07-10T15: 12: 25.858Z
Now only 30 seconds between Jungels and Pinot. The Frenchman is a man on a mission.
2022-07-10T15: 10: 33.709Z
Uran has been caught and dropped instantly by the platoon. It used to be the virtual yellow jersey, but the UAE Team Emirates has not yielded an inch on this climb, and is now pending to fall for the GC.

Behind Pinot, Verona and Castroviejo have fallen Uranus. Like many of the other remnants of the break, he will soon return to the peloton.
2022-07-10T15: 06: 47.424Z
With 6 km still to go, this is shaping up as a tense and exciting finish. Pinot is facing Jungels at a pace that could catch him, while the peloton could still get him back as the GC riders race the stage again.
2022-07-10T15: 03: 39.423Z
17 KM
Pinot is making forays into Jungels and has narrowed the gap to 1:30. The hunters are 30 seconds behind Pinot.
2022-07-10T15: 01: 40.552Z
Back in the peloton, Tom Pidcock and Aleksandr Vlasov are fighting from behind, but for the moment they hold on.
2022-07-10T14: 59: 05.014Z
And now Pinot has been made clear with another attack. He would be a very popular winner of the stage, but has he left it too late?
2022-07-10T14: 58: 19.343Z
Pinot has not yet lost hope of catching Jungels and attacking the group of pursuers. He is clear with Castroviejo, Uranus and Verona.
2022-07-10T14: 56: 04.018Z
Van Aert has returned to the peloton, armed with multiple drums to pass around his teammates who are still riding in front.
2022-07-10T14: 55: 19.426Z
THERE ARE 20 KM
For the first time in a long time, Jungels loses ground to the peloton, which has narrowed the gap to less than three minutes. With 10 km still to go up, you will have to dig deep.
2022-07-10T14: 54: 24.169Z
And now Van Aert has distanced himself from the pursuing group. Maybe he’s human after all?
2022-07-10T14: 52: 21.147Z
There are only 11 riders left in the group of pursuers behind Jungels, as Geschke sets a fast pace for Ion Izagirre.
2022-07-10T14: 50: 54.198Z
The Colombian had not looked as strong as at the start of the season so far in the Tour, and could lose a lot of time if he has already been sacked.
2022-07-10T14: 50: 02.270Z
First GC man fighting in the peloton as Dani Martinez (Ineos Grenadiers) is down!
2022-07-10T14: 46: 25.727Z

Marc Soler finished at the head of the peloton, leaving Pogačar with Rafał Majka and George Bennett as support, and McNulty on the road, if needed.
2022-07-10T14: 41: 42.525Z
Jungels is on the rise, and has been given a significant lead of nearly two minutes to the Hunters and 3:20 to the peloton. The question now is whether he can keep up that pace or if he has already burned too many games.
2022-07-10T14: 39: 06.891Z
THERE ARE 26 KM
Just a few miles before Jungels reaches the foot of the final climb, the Morgins Pass. It is long, with a total length of 15.4 km, which is worth category 1, but the average slope of 6.1% is relatively manageable.
2022-07-10T14: 35: 20.883Z
It’s hot out there, at a high pace as the final climb approaches. Many riders at rest are taking drums and spraying themselves with water, including Thibaut Pinot.
2022-07-10T14: 30: 29.658Z
Despite another tough day for Ben O’Connor, Jungels has a chance to make this a great day for the Citroën AG2R.

THERE ARE 35 KM
Jungels grabs a drum from the team’s car. He is now fully committed and has 1-20 on the hunters and 2-50 on the platoon.
2022-07-10T14: 26: 04.136Z
Meanwhile, the group of pursuers seems more and more as if doomed to be trapped in no man’s land. They are struggling to get organized and are now 1-13 behind Jungels.
2022-07-10T14: 25: 01.237Z
So far the valley is going well for Jungels, who has extended their lead over the peloton to 2:45. He is making the most of his powerful time trial ability.
2022-07-10T14: 21: 03.367Z
THERE ARE 42 KM
Jungels’ distance over the hunters is now more than a minute, but he is not gaining ground in the peloton, which remains at 2-20. If he wins the stage it could be a touch and go; how you go to the next valley road leading to the foot of the final climb could be decisive.
2022-07-10T14: 18: 14.072Z
Meanwhile, O’Connor’s defect in the peloton is 8 minutes.
2022-07-10T14: 17: 27.904Z
Jungels is flying down the slope as the hunters move further away from him and approach the platoon, who are now 1-30 behind them.
2022-07-10T14: 12: 48.178Z
O’Connor just reached the top of the climb, a few minutes after the peloton. Although he seems about to give up before, he is now in a small group, along with several BikeExchange-Jayco riders.
2022-07-10T14: 10: 16.152Z
52 KM
All gaps remain constant on the descent. 30 seconds between Jungels and the hunters, and 1:50 more between them and the platoon.
2022-07-10T14: 09: 29.824Z
Jungels is now alone at the head of the race, with Geschke falling behind.
2022-07-10T14: 06: 48.989Z
Geschke’s throw means Magnus Cort’s long run with the polka dot jersey will be over. The Dane has had a lot of fun defending him, which he has occupied since the second stage, but this is the day the real climbers start competing for the shirt.
2022-07-10T14: 04: 25.657Z
Here comes the platoon, and it’s …
