Overview

• Valentin Paret-Peintre emerged from a morning breakaway to outsprint Ben Healy atop Mont Ventoux.
• By ending a 27-stage winless run for French riders, the triumph also made him the first Frenchman to conquer Ventoux since Richard Virenque in 2002.
• Vingegaard launched three late attacks on Pogacar during the final ascent, all of which the yellow jersey rider neutralized.
• Pogacar retained the yellow jersey and extended his overall lead to 4 minutes 15 seconds over Vingegaard.
• The race shifts to a sprinter-friendly 17th stage before the decisive Alpine climbs, including the Col de la Loze.
