Jasper Philipsen wins Tour de France stage 15 as Vingegaard raises
Jasper Philipsen planned his work flawlessly to beat countryman Wout van Aert and Dane Mads Pedersen, who were second and third separately.
“It’s the greatest triumph you can expect. I came close a couple of times last year and our desire was to win this year. There were not many open doors for runners so we must show restraint,” said Philipsen.
Vingegaard held the yellow pullover yet hit the deck and lost two of his Jumbo-Visma partners as Steven Kruijswijk crashed out and Primoz Roglic didn’t take the beginning of the 202.5-km ride from Rodez in the wake of neglecting to recuperate from wounds.
With the temperature over 40 degrees Celsius, coordinators splashed pieces of the street with water to chill off the dissolving tar before the riders passed.
Ineos-Grenadiers rider Tom Pidcock even hurled himself entirely into a wellspring to chill off after the completion.
Nils Politt and Mikkel Honore developed a benefit of around 2:30 over the peloton while Michael Morkov was dropped almost immediately and experienced a trial alone at the back.
The breakaway was gotten control over with 50km left, not long after Vingegaard crashed alongside colleague Tiesj Benoot.
Vingegaard, who seemed not to experience any wounds, returned into the peloton yet leads reigning champ Tadej Pogacar by two minutes and 22 seconds.
“It was anything but a critical day. Today was not the greatest day with Steven and Primoz forsaking,” the 25-year-old said.
“I don’t know precisely very thing occurred. Tiesj crashed before me and I was unable to keep away from him. That is cycling, I simply have a few injuries on my left side. I’m alright yet it was a terrible day.”
Vingegaard will be without two critical climbers in his group for two exhausting stages in the Pyrenees that could determine the end result of the Tour one week from now.
“On the off chance that we hadn’t lost Vegard Stake Laengen and George Bennett (with COVID-19) we would be in an alternate circumstance,” said Pogacar.
“Presently we’re on fair terms. Being fascinating one week from now is going.”
Two Frenchmen, Alexis Gougeard and Benjamin Thomas, went after with 48 kilometers remaining.
Thomas, a track pursuit subject matter expert, went it alone in the finale yet was gotten 500 meters from the line, leaving the French riders actually sitting tight for their most memorable stage win in this version.
His Cofidis group have not won a phase on the Tour starting around 2008.
“I accepted I could make it. In the event that we might have remained along with Alexis perhaps it would have been unique,” said Thomas.
“I’m totally dead, I’m seeing stars. I was not thinking any longer.”
Monday is a lay day on the Tour de France.
