Alaphilippe defends yellow with daredevil descent as Quintana wins stage 18 - Video
Highlights from an eventful first day in the Alps
Not even the high mountain passes of the Col d'Izoard and Col du Galibier could pry the maillot jaune from the shoulders of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quickstep) during stage 18 at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France.
Although Egan Bernal (Team Ineos) launched an attack on the Galibier and clawed back 32 second🎃s of his deficit to the Frenchman, Alaphilippe nu♌llified an attack from defending champion Geraint Thomas by taking a daredevil descent from the hors categorie climb.
Nairoꦦ Quintana helped save Movistar🦋's Tour de France with a stage win from the breakaway, chopping a solid five minutes from his gap to rest of the favourites to move into seventh place overall.
Quintana was chased by Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) and Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) bu♏t did enough on the Galibier and the tricky descent and run into Valloire to handily claim victory, while Bardet unseated Tim Wellens (Lo🎀tto Soudal) in the mountains classification.
Bernal caught the remnants of the breakaway to finish eighth on the stage, 32 seconds ahead of the yellow jersey group that also contained Thomas, Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo-Visma), Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe), Thꩲibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Rigoberto Uran (EF Education First), Mikel Landa (Movistar) and Richie Porte (Trek-Segafredo).
