Jeremy Whittle's stage 16 report
As we close down for the day, word emerges that Marc Soler failed to finish within the stage’s time limit. Tadej Pogacar therefore loses another UAE Team Emirates colleague in his push to defend the title.
That’s all from me today. Thanks for reading, and hope those experiencing excessively toasty weather are remaining safe and well. Tomorrow: more mountains as stage 17 tears from Saint-Gaudens to Peyragudes. Join us then!
