This stage of Le Tour de Coddenham featured a Category one climb – the brutal ascent of Le Mont d’Emmingstone.

– from Le Chateau d’Emmingstone

up to La Chapelle de St Gregoire d’Emmingstone, an architectural jewel second only to ….

… the world-renowned Eglise de Ste Marie in nearby Col d’Enham.

The stage was dominated by a Solo Breakaway from start to finish …
… with the winner gaining the King of the Mountains Polka Dot jersey to add to the Gilet Jaune he already wears.
while the Peloton stayed home and did her Pilates.
