Christophe Laporte gave local fans a moment to cherish by winning stage 19 of the Tour de France over the largely flat 183.3-kilometre route from Castelnau-Magnoac to Cahors on Friday.
Jumbo-Visma’s brilliant Tour de France continued unabated on Friday on Stage 19 when Christophe Laporte made an optimistic surge to victory on the ramped finale in Cahors. However, the racing instinct and audacity of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) was as notable as the Dutch outfit’s continued domination — which Dan Lloyd said bordered «greedy» — of the blue ribband event.
Tadej Pogacar showed what Carlton Kirby called “devilment” as the UAE Team Emirates rider made a surprise, last-ditch attack on Stage 19 of the Tour de France. After Vingegaard claimed a remarkable solo victory in Stage 18 in the Pyrenees to strengthen his vice-like grip on the yellow jersey, the consensus – ahead of Stage 19 – was that Vingegaard, bar incident or accident, had all but won a maiden Tour de France with the sprinters’ stage on Friday and a time trial on Saturday ahead of Sunday's procession into Paris. Ad/> However, Pogacar had other ideas.
A handshake from Tadej Pogacar to Jonas Vingegaard showed gratitude for a moment of great sportsmanship but could yet double as the defending champion’s concession after Vingegaard moved to the brink of Tour de France glory on Thursday.
Eurosport cycling expert Adam Blythe has given his views on the controversial incident that saw Nils Eekhoff (Team DSM) deny Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) points at the Tour de France. Van Aert has said afterwards that it was “sad” that Eekhoff had surged ahead of him to pick up full points during the intermediate sprint on Stage 16. The Belgian had started the day on a near-insurmountable tally of 378 in the green jersey points classification and has since all-but clinched the green jersey at this year's race.
PEYRAGUDES, France: Defending champion Tadej Pogacar won stage 17 of the Tour de France in the Pyrenees on Wednesday, but was once again shadowed over the line by overall leader in Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard.
It’s not as if Ineos Grenadiers didn’t try. Tom Pidcock was sniffing around the early moves during the fast and frantic start to Stage 17 while Dylan van Baarle, second time lucky, got himself into the breakaway alongside Dani Martinez. Jonathan Castroviejo even tried to bridge over on the first of four climbs, the Col d’Aspin, giving Geraint Thomas three men up the road.
UAE Team Emirates rider Tadej Pogacar was pushed to his limits on a thrilling day's racing as he won Stage 17 of the Tour de France to slightly close the gap on overall leader Jonas Vingegaard at the summit of Peyragudes on Wednesday.
