Porte remains in touch as Lennard Kaemna claims stage 16 honours
Lennard Kaemna claimed his first Tour de France victory when he outwitted Giro d'Italia champion Richard Carapaz to win the 16th stage, a 164-km ride from La Tour du Pin on Tuesday.3rd: Sebastien Reichenbach +1'56"The 24-year-old German took advantage of Ecuadorian Carapaz's momentary loss of focus at the top of the last climb of the day to go solo and finished one minute, 27 seconds ahead after charging down in the descent.
Defending champion Egan Bernal, whose hopes of winning the race fell away when he cracked in Sunday's 15th stage, was dropped from the main bunch in the ascent to Saint-Nizier, suffering from back pain.It was a day to forget for Ineos-Grenadiers, whose attention has shifted to stage wins after Bernal's collapse, as Carapaz had to settle for second after two brutal attacks from the breakaway group in the decisive climb had left his rivals in the red.
"When I saw that I was gaining a few seconds it boosted my confidence and I knew I was going to win." Tuesday also marked the return on the race of Tour director Christian Prudhomme, who had tested positive in the previous round of testing.
