Quiet day for Vingegaard: Another breakaway wins the Tour

1/2
Big emotions with day winner Matej Mohoric.

In the 19th stage of the Tour de France, a small leading group once again outsmarted the sprinters. On the home stretch in Poligny, Slovenian Matej Mohoric defeated Kasper Asgreen by a rim width.

Despite the constant ups and downs, Jonas Vingegaard spent a quiet day on the stretch through the Jura.

In the end, 36 riders found shelter in the leading group, from which the winner would emerge. The classic specialists tried to get rid of the top sprinters – including Jasper Philipsen – with numerous attacks. With success: Once again Asgreen, Thursday’s stage winner, rode away successfully. This time Mohoric and Australian Ben O’Connor were his companions.

The 28-year-old Mohoric, successful in the classic Milan – Sanremo last year and now a three-time stage winner in the Tour de France, attacked Asgreen from the slipstream, but was only just able to avoid the Dane’s double blow.

Last «hurdle» for Vingegaard

On Saturday, the final touchstone is a mountain stage in the Vosges. 3500 altimeters, spread over six climbs, await the riders. The tour ends a day later in Paris.

Although Vingegaard is almost certain that he will win, he still has to be wary of the technically very demanding descent from the Petit Ballon. This is where the Spaniard Alberto Contador broke his tibia in a fall in 2014. (SDA)
