Cavagna on the road as a soloist
We couldn't expect a classic mass sprint on today's bumpy 19th stage of the Tour de France. After the start in Bourg-en-Bresse, the 166,5-kilometre section to the finish in Champagnole was just a trivial climb to master. This one came on Remi Cavagna (Deceuninck-Quick Step), who rode around many kilometers in front of the peloton as a soloist and thus definitely earned the red shirt number for tomorrow. Behind, a small group around the German tried Max Walscheid (NTT) unsuccessfully to make contact.
Pöstlberger & Gogl leave the Tour de France
The Austrian did not start today Michael Gogl (NTT). The 26-year-old presented himself very aggressively at this year's Tour de France, but had to cancel the start in Bourg-en-Bresse due to exhaustion. his compatriot Lukas Postlberger (Bora – hansgrohe) dropped out during this 19th stage because he was stung in the mouth by a wasp. After the 28-year-old suffered an anaphylactic shock, according to the team doctor, he is now doing better.
Kragh Andersen just does it again
A counterattack formed after Remi Cavagna caught up and a new 12-man lead group formed. It was also represented, among other things Sam Bennett (Deceuninck – Quick Step), Peter Sagan (Bora – hansgrohe) and Matteo Trentin (CCC). While the three contenders stalked each other for the green jersey, dared Soren Kragh Andersen (Sunweb) tried again as a soloist. And as on the 14th stage, should the Dane succeed today. He reached the finish line in Champagnole with a comfortable lead Port of Mezgec (Mitchelton-Scott) and Jasper stuyven (Trek – Segafredo). Sam Bennett successfully defended the green jersey after he had advanced both in the intermediate sprint and in the finish sprint Peter Sagan could place.
