Luxembourg’s Bob Jungels powered to victory in stage nine of the Tour de France on Sunday holding off Thibaut Pinot to cross the line alone after a 119 mile race through Switzerland to the French border. Slovenian Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates made a late burst for the line to gain a few seconds on some rivals as the two-time defending champion further tightened his grip on the overall lead with a fifth-place finish.

“This is one of the most beautiful days of my career,” said Jungels a day after one of his AG2R teammates pulled out with Covid-19.

“I went down that last hill at top speed, and that made the difference.”

Andy Schleck was the last man from Luxembourg to win a Tour de France stage eleven years ago.
