HIGHLIGHTS - Pogacar pips Vingegaard
Tadej Pogacar beat Jonas Vingegaard in a slow-motion uphill sprint to win stage 17 of the Tour de France as the top two in the fight for yellow left everyone else behind on the road to Peyragudes.
Pogacar could not shake off Vingegaard in his bid to put a dent into the Dane’s advantage in the yellow jersey but did take consolation in the form of his third stage win of this Tour.
The pair had slugged it out on the 16 per cent gradient to the top of the Peyragudes airstrip, with Pogacar going first, slipping behind Vingegaard but then attacking again to cross the line just in front of his rival.
