I didn't think the slight uphill would make that much of a difference but seeing both EBH and GVA up there means it must have had some effect. Good win!

Anyone know more details about the crash about 2.2km from the end - Cofidis* (?) and AG2R rider. I just caught some of the highlights online and saw the crash but can't find any detail of what happened (although, tbh, I haven't done an exhaustive search).
* I saw Bozic was mentioned as having crashed but not sure if this was the incident.

So, does anyone have a definitive answer as to why the 3km rule was not applied? It didn't seem to qualify as a real uphill finish...

I hadn't even clocked that. I'd best go and put some effort into my searching.

Boric hit a barrier and then cut across the peloton, solely hitting a rider for AG2R.
Don't know what happened with the 3km rule, those whose interviews I've seen seem to be at a loss as to why it wasn't implemented.

It didn't look like the crash actually split the peloton in any significant way.

Alaphilippe has really impressed me - he seems to be involved in all types of stages so far.

Pretty much caused by alaphillipe going for a space that wasn't there.

Bozic and Gougeard were given the same time as the main bunch, nine seconds behind the winner, so clearly the rule was implemented. I don't think anyone else was affected directly by the crash.

Great swashbucking riding by Teklahaimanot - I really didn't think he'd take the polka dots again this year.
