- Slovenian slips clear to take first victory on Tour
- Froome and pre-race favourite Roglic struggle
Matej Mohoric won the Tour de France’s longest stage, from Vierzon to Le Creusot, slipping clear of the day’s breakaway group to take his first stage victory in the Tour, as the overall race leader, Mathieu van der Poel, increased his lead to half a minute.
Mohoric, a Slovenian riding for Bahrain Victorious and already winner of a stage in the Vuelta a España and the Giro d’Italia, moved clear and tackled the final descents and the last climb, of the Côte de la Gourloye, with aplomb, to seal the most prestigious win of his career.
