UCI World Tour 2020 12 2020-09-04 2020-09-04 4 September 2020 – Millau to Lavaur, 168 km (104 mi) This tactical stage started with early hills, strong crosswinds and high pace from Bora–Hansgrohe. All these factors caused two peleton splits. Stage contenders like Ewan, Bennett, Nizzolo, Bol and Kristoff lost their chance to contend the stage by being caught behind. Matteo Trentin won the intermediate sprint and Peter Sagan earned enough points to regain the lead of the points classification. Thomas De Gendt attacked on the long climb and his solo ride lasted 60 kilometers. Ineos Grenadiers formed an echelon with 33 kilometers left and the bunch divided again. As a result, Pogačar, Landa, Carapaz, Mollema and Porte were left in the group behind and lost 1'21" on the other favourites. Wout Van Aert took his second stage win from a reduced bunch. 1043909
