The Tour de France's belated return to the Puy de Dôme after a 35-year break from the Auvergne mountain might not have produced classic GC battles of yore, such as the fondly remembered Raymond Poulidor-Jacques Anquetil battle of 1964.

However, even if there wasn't a classic GC battle or major revelation on the volcano looming over Clermont-Ferrand, the climb still brought another chapter in the Jonas Vingegaard-Tadej Pogačar battle.
