The only classified climb in the first half of today's stage, the 3.2km ascent of Col du Mont de Fourche averaged 5.9%. Justine Ghekiere was the first rider to the top and now has 10 points in the mountains classification. She has pressed on and has an advantage over the Peloton; there will now be a long, rolling section before the next points are on offer which could allow for more attacks.
