There was no change at the top of the general classification at the 2026 Tour de France on Wednesday, as Torstein Træen remained in control of the yellow jersey.
Olav Kooij (Decathlon CMA CGM) won the stage, the first bunch sprint of the race, after a crash just outside the 5km to go banner split the bunch. It meant the finish was contested by just a 20-man group, although there were no significant time losses, with the win coming from a bunch of fast men and their lead outs.
Træen stays in yellow, then, 7:53 of the first rider considered a serious general classification challenger, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG)
Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) added to his points tally but saw his lead cut in the green points jersey competition, while his teammate Mathias Vacek is still leading the young rider’s classification.
Frenchman Alex Baudin (EF Education-EasyPost) continues leads the mountains classification, extending his lead over Alex Molenaar (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) by another point.
