Vingegaard keeps yellow jersey at Tour de France as Poels soloes to victory in 15th stage

SAINT-GERVAIS MONT-BLANC, France (AP) — Jonas Vingegaard has kept intact his 10-second overall lead in the Tour de France as Dutch veteran Wout Poels soloed to victory after a tough trek in the Alps with a mountaintop finish. Poels was part of an early breakaway in Sunday’s 15th stage. He took advantage of a short but very steep ascent located just before the final 7-kilometer (4-mile) climb leading to the finish line to move away. Wout van Aert finished second at more than two minutes behind. Vingegaard and two-time Tour winner Tadej Pogacar once again stayed together throughout the day in the group of main contenders. A day after a mass crash forced several riders out of the race, there was another huge pile-up after 52 kilometers of racing with no serious injuries reported.
