Jasper Philipsen took his second stage win in the 2024 Tour de France, in Pau, after a spate of failed attacks in the final kilometres
Alpecin Deceuninck rider sprints to win in Pauin Pau, after a spate of failed attacks in the final kilometres paved the way for yet another dash to the line. The Belgian avoided a nasty crash in the final kilometre to hold off Jonas Vingegaard’s Visma Lease-a-bike teammate Wout Van Aert in the Place de Verdun.
There may have only been two fourth category climbs on the route, but the gusting crosswinds played havoc with the riders almost from the off. Attack after attack led to a series of splits and frantic chases, with the top three on the general classification, Pogacar, Evenepoel and Vingegaard, highly active on every occasion.
After crashes on consecutive stages, Roglic, second overall in the 2020 Tour, did not start the Tour’s 13th stage. The Slovenian had slipped to sixth overall after crashing on Thursday and his team said he quit the Tour to focus on “future goals”.
