Jonas Vingegaard extends Tour de France lead after helping defending champion Tadej Pogacar after fall
Britain's Geraint Thomas finished fourth - behind Vingegaard's Jumbo Visma team-mate Wout van Aert who helped distance Pogacar inside the final five kilometres - to stay third in the general classification.
Pogacar, 23, launched several attacks on Vingegaard on the Col de Spandelles, which separated the day's two major climbs, but on each occasion the yellow jersey was equal to his efforts.With a deficit of 2:18 before the stage, Pogacar continued to push the pace and he fell after misjudging a corner on the descent - his back tyre sliding on the gravel - just moments after Vingegaard had almost suffered a similar fate.
The Belgian increased the pace, pulling Vingegaard clear of Pogacar and allowing his team-leader to ride the final four kilometres unchallenged."I gave it all today. I will leave the race with no regrets. There is still one stage left I might win before Paris, and I will push for it."
