Back to the beginning Km 33 The stage progresses without major surprises. The trio of cyclists who march ahead continue with just over a minute ahead of the group of favourites. Km 26 We have already commented that the route of this 18th stage is practically flat. There are only two fourth-category points that can be scored and there is still a long way to go before the first one is reached, the fourth-category Côte de Chambéry-le-Haut, whose peak is located at kilometer 62. Km 22 The pace in the peloton is still quite high and they are not allowing the three riders in front to widen the gap. In fact, this income has begun to fall and is currently slightly above the minute. 15 km Neither is it that the lead of Kasper Asgreen, Jonas Abrahamsen and Victor Campenaert is increasing significantly and has stabilized around a minute and a half. At the moment, the teams with interests in a sprint resolution have the situation completely under control. Km 13 None of the three escaped cyclists is worrying in the slightest about their claims in the general classification and the three find themselves more than three hours apart from Jonas Vingegaard, the yellow jersey. Km 9 It seems that the peloton consents to the escape and the trio of cyclists that march ahead already have a minute advantage. Perhaps the lack of ambition on the part of some teams to seek a presence in the breakaway has been surprising, although it is true that yesterday’s stage was extremely exhausting and at this point in the race, the forces are rather fair. Km 3 The three cyclists who have taken a few meters ahead are Kasper Asgreen, Jonas Abrahamsen and Victor Campenaerts. Km 2 The first attacks are already taking place and there is a group of three cyclists who have managed to take a few meters ahead. Km 1 STAGE 18 BEGINS !!! After a long neutralized section, the day officially starts. Km 0 The mountain classification is tighter, Giulio Ciccone leads this ranking with 88 points, six more than Felix Gall and seven compared to Jonas Vingegaard, Km 0 FACT. Jasper Philipsen has won six of the last eight mass sprints held in the Tour de France, four of five in this edition. Km 0 Jasper Philipsen is practically assured of winning the Regularity Grand Prix this year in the Tour de France. The Belgian has 323 points, 137 more than Mads Pedersen and 145 more than Bryan Coquard. Km 0 The route of today’s stage is practically flat, with two small fourth category climbs. Everything indicates that we will see a resolution to the sprint and the great favorites to win is Jasper Philipsen who has already achieved four stage wins in this edition of the French round. Km 0 Wout van Aert has abandoned two of his five participations in the Tour de France, although he has not done so since the first in 2019. Km 0 This morning Wout van Aert’s abandonment was confirmed due to his imminent paternity. Although the Belgian has not achieved any stage victory in the Grande Bouclé this year, the truth is that he has played a leading role, participating in breakaways and helping Jonas Vingegaard, his leader in the Jumbo-Visma team, when necessary. Km 0 Carlos Rodríguez continues to hold fourth place in the general classification, although the INEOS cyclist also lost time in yesterday’s stage and it is increasingly difficult to finish on the podium in what is his first participation in the Tour de France. Km 0 In this way, Jonas Vingegaard has his second consecutive victory in the French round within reach and faces this transition stage with 7′ 35” over Tadej Pogacar and 10′ 45” over Adam Yates. Km 0 Jonas Vingegaard left the Tour practically sentenced after yesterday’s stage. The Dane already gave a tremendous blow of authority in the time trial last Tuesday, but yesterday we witnessed the collapse of a Tadej Pogacar who lost almost six minutes in the finish line with respect to the Dane.
