TOUR ONLINE: Vingegaard will defend the yellow jersey in another tough alpine test

Today, as on Wednesday, the peloton climbs the Col du Galibier, but then also the Col de la Croix de Fer and Alpe d’Huez, where the finish is.

Vingegaard moved to the top of the standings on Wednesday, when in the eleventh stage, after breaking away on the final climb on the Col di Granon, he drove to his first Tour triumph. He took off the two-time defender and current sovereign Pogačar from the yellow jersey.
