French honor is safe: sprinter Christophe Laporte, from the Jumbo-Visma formation, won the 19th stage of the Tour de France, Friday July 22, in Cahors.
Clever and quick in the final, he avoided the bunch sprint and won by a few meters ahead of Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Alberto Dainese (Team DSM).
This is the first victory for a tricolor rider since leaving Copenhagen.
His teammate, the Dane Jonas Vingegaard, kept the yellow jersey, two days before the finish in Paris.
