Bisanne opened a brutal Alpine stage over the Pré and Roselend; Thomas won atop La Rosière and took the yellow jersey he would carry all the way to Paris.

Stage 19 · Albertville → Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc
Won by Romain Bardet (FRA)
The Montée de Bisanne made its Tour debut on this rain-soaked stage; Bardet attacked on the treacherous descent later in the day to win at Saint-Gervais and climb to second overall.
