2022 TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 19 HIGHLIGHTS

Christophe Laporte became the first Frenchman to win on this year’s Tour de France, taking stage 19 in Cahors on Friday, as Jonas Vingegaard maintained his race lead over defending champion Tadej Pogacar with just two days left. Laporte, of Jumbo Visma, managed to close a gap from the main peloton to a stubborn escape group around 1000 meters from the line before edging ahead to easily win this largely flat stage. This was the fifth stage win for Jumbo on the 2022 Tour with Vingegaard and Wout van Aert winning two apiece.
