Tour de France: Richard Carapaz wins breakaway epic on brutal stage 20 to Alpe d'Huez after late disaster by Sepp Kuss

EF Education - EasyPost's Richard Carapaz wearing the climber's polka dot jersey celebrates winning stage 20.

Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) won a drama-filled final mountain stage 20 of this year's Tour de France, beating Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike) to the top of Alpe d'Huez after the US rider crashed twice in the final 10km.

The pair had been part of a 14-rider breakaway that went away on the first of four massive climbs that lined the 170km route on the penultimate stage, and after attacking each other up the Col du Galibier and Col de Sarenne, emerged as the strongest climbers in the move alongside Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).
