The stage everyone had circled finally arrived — a massive breakaway, a genuine tactical masterclass from Jayco AlUla, and Luke Plapp officially graduating from "names not legs" to the real deal.

In this episode:

• How Plapp basically called his own tactics pre-stage, then executed them perfectly
• Jayco's four-man breakaway operation — Plapp, Matthews, O'Connor and Schmid working as one unit
• Why UAE let this one go, and whether that's smart resource management or a missed opportunity
• Pidcock's GC charge and the group of climbers who genuinely surprised on the day
• Mauro Schmid's drag-race finish and a first Tour stage win for Q36.5
• Ineos' concussion protocol questions after Godon's rough finish
• More fuel for the Aussie Uno-X pitch — Gina, are you watching?
• Rest-day voice notes continue, including a full Remco fan club submission
• Stage 14 preview: the Vosges arrive, seven climbs and a completely new Tour ascent in the Col du Haag
• Two signed jerseys plus the usual prize suite up for grabs this week
