Stage 3 into the Pyrenees delivered exactly what a first mountain day should — a mass crash inside the opening 15km, an hour-long fight to form the breakaway, and a GC shakeup as the race hit altitude in 41-degree heat.

- Bourdon's stellar day in the mountains jersey
- The GC fallout — who's struggling, who's surprising, and who's cooked from the heat

- Last night's Giant sunglasses winner revealed 🕶️
- Stage 4 preview: Carcassonne to Foix — a stage that smells like a breakaway but might not be one
