Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) emulated his compatriot Bjarne Riis in 1996 with a remarkable solo victory at Hautacam in the Pyrenees to strengthen his vice-like grip on the yellow jersey in Stage 18 of the Tour de France. The 25-year-old cracked Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) with the help of Belgian teammate Wout van Aert after the indefatigable green jersey’s latest display of dominance in a breakaway that almost went the distance in the enthralling 143.2km ride through the Pyrenees.
