Martinez is the first to come on top of the Tourmalet and size the French crazy. He has almost two minutes on a group with Arensman, Rodriguez, Mas, O’Connor, Vlasov, Kuss, Simon Yates, Mülhberger, Rubio, Higuita, Jegat, Woods, Verkygne, Tobias Halland Johannes, Valentin Paret-Pintre and Storer. The peloton – or the group of favorites – is three and a half minutes.
