Jasper Philipsen took his fourth win of this Tour de France, claiming stage 11 from Clermont-Ferrand to Moulins by sprinting clear of his closest rival Dylan Groenewegen, of Team Jayco AlUla, in the final 100 metres.
The Belgian – already a winner in Bayonne, Nogaro and Bordeaux – mastered the fast finish with ease. This despite the absence of his steadfast lead‑out man and Alpecin-Deceuninck teammate Mathieu van der Poel, who was dropped by the bunch, after illness.
