Dutchman claims second stage win on last mountain test
Pogacar safely in yellow with rival Vingegaard second
Thymen Arensman won a shortened 19th stage of the Tour de France, from Albertville to La Plagne, after attacking alone on the final climb. The race leader, Tadej Pogacar, untroubled by any meaningful attacks, maintained his overall lead on Jonas Vingegaard.
The victorious Ineos Grenadiers rider, whose team have been fielding questions over a staff member involved in an anti-doping investigation related to their glorious days as Team Sky, was taking his second victory in the race.
But it was a disappointing stage for Scotland’s Oscar Onley, who after surviving almost everything that the Tour could throw at him, fell away from the podium positions in the closing moments, after third-placed Florian Lipowitz attacked to move clear with Pogacar and second-placed Vingegaard.
