The next day saw more live traffic on supposed closed roads and the inevitable rider strike as a result. The riders simply stopped in the road as a new plan was devised. With a stage finish on a dead-end road up Hautacam, the race was neutralised all the way to the base of the climb as rider safety couldn't be guaranteed.
