Description

5 September 2020 – Cazères to Loudenvielle, 141 km (88 mi)

Thirteen riders teamed up for a breakaway. None of them was placed highly in the general classification, so the peloton allowed them to race for stage win. Jérôme Cousin won the intermediate sprint and Benoit Cosnefroy took 10 points at the first category 1 climb to maintain his lead in the mountain classification. As the breakaway arrived at the foot of highest category climb - Port de Balès, Nans Peters and Ilnur Zakarin accelerated. Peters distanced Zakarin on the descent. He reached the last summit - Col de Peyresourde alone and went for stage victory. Toms Skujiņš and Carlos Verona filled the podium.

Team Jumbo–Visma dictated a high speed for the peloton on the climb. Thibaut Pinot suffered from terrible back pain, he was dropped early losing almost 19 minutes on his general classification rivals. Alaphilippe also lost 11 minutes on his competitors. Tadej Pogačar attacked on the Col de Peyresourde and finished with 40 seconds advantage on most of the other general classification contenders. Dumoulin, Valverde and Higuita lost 2 minutes.
