Roland-Garros Men's Singles -

It's the Carapaz group, because the maillot a poids is there, but it's being driven by Visma-Lease a Bike. Mads Pedersen isn't giving up on that intermediate sprint. It's not in his nature.

They hung out to about a third of the way up the climb, but these gradients have cooked them.

Seven points separating them, and the Frenchman having the better of the early duels yesterday, before fading. No-one wants to commit quite yet, as they reach that stretch where it levels and dips downhill briefly, then rising up again for a kilometre at 11%.

As the peloton stretches out, he's doing his best to stay in touch, but 19km to the top it's a tough ask, It's a very "grupetto grupetto" day.

Behind the wheel of Herne Hill's own Fred Wright. The Frenchman a shadow of his former self. At the front, Ben Healy clips away, looking behind for Richard Carapaz.
