Jasper Philipsen has won stage 15 of the 109th Tour de France.
The Belgian clinched victory in the mass sprint on Sunday in temperatures of up to 40 degrees after 202.5 kilometers from Rodez to Carcassonne ahead of Wout van Aert and Mads Pedersen.
Previously, a breakaway attempt by German champion Nils Politt and Denmark's Mikkel Honoré had ended after 145 kilometers.
Simon Geschke, who was born in Berlin, received the mountain jersey for the seventh time in a row.
Roglic and Kruijswijk out of the race
In the overall standings, Jonas Vingegaard is 2:22 ahead of defending champion Tadej Pogacar.
Things were anything but smooth for the Dane.
The overall first was involved in a fall, but was able to catch up with the field.
But the race was over for two of his most important helpers: the Slovenian Primoz Roglic, who was originally intended to be the captain, did not compete because of his fall injuries from the first week.
During the race, former Dutch Tour third-placed Steven Kruijswijk was hit and had to retire.
On Monday, the tour will have its last rest day before heading to the Pyrenees on Tuesday.
On Tuesday there are 178.5 kilometers from Carcassonne to Foix.
