Belgium’s Victor Campenaerts emerged from a breakaway trio to clinch victory on stage 18 of the Tour de France 2024.
Campenaerts, Michal Kwiatkowski and Matteo Vercher remained clear heading into the closing stages of the 179.5km route from Gap to Barcelonnette.
The Lotto–Dstny rider, 32, hit the front with 100 metres to go and looked like he had something to spare as he rolled in for his first-ever Tour stage win.
The yellow jersey group came in 14 minutes later, with the general classification rivals bunched together, so Tadej Pogacar maintains his overall race lead of three minutes 11 seconds.
