  • Thymen Arensman rode clear 14 km from the summit to claim stage 19 at La Plagne in rainy, sub-10 °C conditions.
  • Tadej Pogacar matched every attack by Jonas Vingegaard on the 19.1 km climb and countered two minor accelerations to increase his yellow jersey advantage to 4 minutes 24 seconds.
  • Jonas Vingegaard finished two seconds ahead of Pogacar on the day but remained unable to reduce the gap and holds second overall.
  • Florian Lipowitz secured third place on GC by outpacing Oscar Onley on the final slopes, solidifying his position on the overall podium.
