Hugo Houle (Israel Premier Tech) won the sixteenth stage of the Tour de France, 178.5km from Carcassonne to Foix.

Fraction that was played on two fronts: for the stage victory and for the general classification. Initial escape of 29 men, which saw protagonists among others Wout Van Aert, Dani Martinez, Michael Woods, Simon Geschke, Michael Storer, Aleksandr Vlasov (who recovers several minutes in the standings) Damiano Caruso (who comes off on the last climb at 30 km from the finish) and Brandon McNulty.

The most brilliant is, surprisingly, the Canadian Houle, who was left alone on Mur de Peguère and who managed to maintain a decent advantage over his teammate Woods and Matteo Jorgenson , who crashed downhill, even in the last kilometers.

Tadej Pogacar tried to attack the yellow jersey Jonas Vingeegaard on Port de Lers but without success. The best fought on Mur de Peguère: Geraint Thomas struggled but managed to get back downhill. Instead, Romain Bardet, Adam Yates and Enric Mas lost ground.

The Dane of the Jumbo Visma remains the leader of the general.
