RE: Tour de France
Tadej Pogacar wins stage 15 in sprint finish with yellow jersey leader Primoz Roglic.

Last years winner Bernal's challenge faultered on the final climb to Grand Colombier and lost over seven minutes to slip from third to 13th overall.
Sky/Ineos have won 7 out of the last 8 tours, so this lowly position must have been a shock to them.

Today is a rest day

Bernal wasn't fully fit going into the Tour, the writing was on the wall after the last couple of days.

RE: Tour de France
Ineos Grenadiers had a good day.
They finished 1st and 2nd in a break away.

The winner of todays stage was agreed between Carapaz and Kwiatkowski, and they finished side by side.
Kwiatkowski was awarded the win.
Richard Carapaz takes the Polka dot jersey from Podacar.

RE: Tour de France
Stage19 166.5kms Bourg-en-Bresse to Champanole

It's so long to the mountains as there is only a single category 1 climb.

Yesterday was a day to nearly crown The King of the Mountains, today could see Sam Bennett with his hands on this years green jersey
