Tadej Pogacar continued his fairytale Tour de France with a fifth stage win to further extend his dominant lead.
The Slovenian sprinted away from defending champion Jonas Vingegaard inside the final 500 metres on the Col de la Couillole.
He extended his advantage over the Dane by seven seconds and now leads the general classification by five minutes and 14 seconds.
Sunday’s time trial in Nice is the final stage of this year’s tour where Pogacar is likely to put even more time into his rivals.
Richard Carapaz crossed the line in third, having already collected enough points to secure the King of the Mountains jersey earlier in the stage.
