What a stirring finale: Tadej Pogacar lost the yellow jersey to Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark on the first mountain finish of the Tour de France in the Alps. The previous leader collapsed completely. The German Lennard Kämna fell back again.
He is the great triumphant: the Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard has won the 11th stage of the Tour de France and has taken over the yellow jersey of the overall leader from Tadej Pogacar. The Slovenian, who also won the last two Tour of France, collapsed completely in the first mountain stage in the Alps and lost 2:51 minutes to Vingegaard. The Dane now leads the overall standings by 2:16 ahead of Romain Bardet, with Pogacar dropping to third place.
Lennard Kämna falls behind for tactical reasons
The German hopeful Lennard Kämna dropped – as expected – in the first high mountain stage of the 109th Tour in the overall standings – for tactical reasons. So the driver from the Bora-hansgrohe team has the chance to win another stage because he is no longer competing with the leaders. One day after his long escape and the jump to second place in the classification, the 25-year-old had to give up early on the 151.7-kilometer stage to the Col du Granon on Wednesday and lost several minutes.
The stage to Alpe d’Huez is scheduled for Thursday on the French national holiday.
