Stage 20 was the last opportunity for anyone who had anything left in their legs to try and escape the group of favourites and spend some time in the lead group on the road. Patrick was delighted to escape and spend some time in the hills. Below you can see him on the Col de la Colombiére.
Eventually the break was reeled in and Patrick finished the day in position 68, 19:57 behind the stage winner. Invaluable experience for the Austrian youngster which will no doubt assist him in future Grand Tour performances. Tomorrow all the riders can look forward to a more friendly stage in Paris.

Most Liveable Place Part 7: Two Years On, But What Has Changed?
It feels to us like Liverpool is a city at a crossroads. The worst pedestrian and cyclist road safety track record in the country. Deprived neighbourhoods with chronic health issues and low car ownership. Offered millions of pounds of central government funding for local transport development, the city has elected to remove an important active travel corridor prior to the publication of a review into its effectiveness. The actions of a local councillor, praised by the City Mayor, could lead to a huge reduction in local transport funding that will set the city back years. We look back at the last two years, the impact of Covid, and ask is this the end of the road for a co-ordinated active travel plan for Liverpool?
