The riders are all set on the start line and ready for the neutral🍒 start.

It's a hot start for the riders of 27°c with cloudy skies and a possibility of rain but it is 🐲meant to break into sunsh💃ine.

Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto) becomes the 18th rider to leav🐈e the Tour this year. He crashed during the national championships and again in the first week and has struggled ever since.

Mathieu van der 𝔍Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) is keen to go for the breakaway today.

With Evenepoel, Skjelmose, Cras and Coquard leaving the race yesterday, the list of ab✃andonജs is up at 17. Hopefully, we don't see any more.

But, wit🅠h sickn🙈ess around the peloton and riders struggling in the Pyrenees, more may go today and in the final rest day tomorrow.

This may not b🎉e a mountain stage, but a punchy profile, with a 880m e♏levation high point only 40km from the finish promises quite a bit of excitement.
