So it wasn't to be for Mark Cavendish as the Manx Missile aimed to extend his record for Tour de France stage wins after claiming the record outright yesterday.
The British rider will get more chances to add to his tally of 35 later in this year's Tour, which continues tomorrow with an individual time trial.
Do join us again then as we bring you all the action. Hopefully see you then.

"The sprint field is really strong, the lead-out teams are really strong, but I'm so proud of how we did today and hopefully we can do it again [on this year's Tour]."

There will be more added to it shortly.
Although delighted with the stage win, Dutch national champion Dylan Groenewegen was disappointed he couldn't pose for a victory photo as he was racing in the same colours as the Netherlands' flag.
He added: "I'm in the red, white and blue jersey, and before [the stage] I said it would be a beautiful picture, but it was that close I couldn't celebrate on the finish line.
"In the end we grabbed it. The team worked so hard, also over the last [few] days. Yesterday I was a bit disappointed with myself because the team did a really good job.
"Today again, in the final few kilometres, we stayed clam and arrived at the right moment. Then we got in the slipstream and I actually don't know what happened but I came first."

It ended up being little more than a wheel trim that secured victory for Dylan Groenewegen.
For the record, Mark Cavendish crossed the line in 20th place.
Groenewegen said: "I'm really happy, the feeling is so amazing."
It's a sixth stage win on the Tour de France for 31-year-old Dutch rider Dylan Groenewegen, who races for Australian team Jayco–AlUla, and his first since 2022.
That's Dylan Groenewegen on the right in the red, lunging for the line, and Jasper Philipsen furthest left.
Image source, ReutersNo, it was Dylan Groenewegen who snatched victory on the line.
Jasper Philipsen takes the lead, then Biniam Girmay fights back, along with Dylan Groenewegen.
It's such a tight finish we're going to have to check the photo. I think Philipsen held on.
Mathieu van der Poel leads out Jasper Philipsen before letting his team-mate hit the front.
Mark Cavendish is out of contention, he's dropping back.
Astana Qazaqstan have lost a few places. They'll have to fight their way back up. Uno-X still lead.
Norwegian team Uno-X take control of the front of the peloton.
The GC riders have now dropped back. Their day is done.
Biniam Girmay and Mark Cavendish - the winners of the two sprint finishes so far on this year's Tour - are well placed towards the front of the peloton.
Oh, there's an innocuous crash towards the back of the peloton and race leader Tadej Pogacar narrowly avoids getting caught up in it.
No surprise to see Astana Qazaqstan - Mark Cavendish's team - and Israel-Premier Tech driving the peloton as they bid to get their men in position to strike for the line.
Mads Pedersen has been nominated as the most combative rider of the day.
