Stage 19 of the Tour de France is taken out by Danish rider Soren Kragh Andersen after drama unfolds early as Austrian rider Lukas Postlberger exits the race in somewhat bizarre fashion.
Denmark's Soren Kragh Andersen claimed his second solo stage win of the Tour de France with a perfectly timed attack late in the 19th stage, an undulating 166.5 kilometre ride from Bourg en Bresse to Champagnole.
Roglic leads fellow Slovenian Tadej Pogacar by 57 seconds going into Saturday's decisive individual time trial, which should see the Jumbo Visma rider secure his maiden Tour title. France's Remi Cavagna was the only early breakaway rider and the Deceuninck-Quick Step rider, helped by a strong tailwind, opened a decent gap.
Having ridden nearly 3,200 kilometres over four mountain ranges he was forced to abandon his Tour after a bee sting to the mouth.The Austrian rider, who has devoted his Tour to helping team leader Sagan in his quest for the race's green jersey, suffered an allergic reaction to the sting.
