Welcome to the ninth edition of the tour de la Provence, starting in Marseille, heading towards Cassis, over the King of the mountains to Gemenos. The first king of the mountain of the day. That was a second categorised climb up to the Espigoule as they headed towards the intermediate sprint up to Mazaugues, and then of course up to Belcodene.

AND Wow, what an edition. Two stage victories for Sam Bennett. A stage victory for Mads Pedersen. He goes home as the overall winner. Let’s see how the next races go. Mads Pedersen goes home as the winner. He wins a stage and it is Lidl-Trek who take yet another overall victory. Well, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have you along for the ninth edition of the tour de la Provence here from myself, Hannah Walker. We’ll see you on the road very soon.
