Vingegaard wins Tour de France stage 11, Pogacar extends lead

LE LIORAN, France :Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard held off race leader Tadej Pogacar to win the 11th stage of the Tour de France, having caught the Slovenian after he made a break with over 30 kilometres left on Wednesday.

The 211km ride from Evaux les Bains to Le Lioran is the longest stage on this year's Tour, and while the expected early breaks materialised, in the end it came down to the main contenders for the overall win.

Pogacar, despite losing out on the stage victory, extended his overall lead to one minute six seconds over Remco Evenepoel, who finished third in the stage, with Denmark's Vingegaard a further eight seconds back.

Primoz Roglic came fourth but crashed close to the finish to lose time on the leaders.
