Jonas Vingegaard maintained his 10-second Tour de France lead over Tadej Pogacar for the third consecutive day in the Alps, staying with his rival to reach the summit.
Vingegaard, the 2022 Tour champion, and Pogacar, the 2020 and 2021 Tour champion, are battling it out in the closest Tour final week since 2008.
Pogacar attacked Vingegaard in the last mile of the final climb of the first category, but Vinegaard stayed with him and finished on the same time.
Ahead of them, Wout Poels, a 35-year-old Dutchman on his 10th Tour, took his first Tour stage win, doing so from a breakaway.

The Tour has a rest day on Monday, followed by a 14-mile time trial with a second category late climb.
