Michael Woods of the Israel-PremierTech team took a spectacular victory at the summit of the Puy-de-Dôme, overlooking Clermont-Ferrand, as Tadej Pogacar eroded a few more seconds of Jonas Vingegaard’s lead as defending champion.
Woods, almost two minutes behind a solo attacker, Matteo Jorgenson, at the foot of the climb, powered his way beyond the exhausted American on the brutal final gradients. The Canadian is twice a stage winner in the Vuelta a España but this was his first Tour stage success.
