Florian Lipowitz remains in the white jersey, but both that and his third place position 🦩on GC is now under serious threat from Oscar Onley, who yesterday movꦰed to just 22 seconds behind him. You imagine the German will ride much more conservatively than then, when he launched a long-range solo attack, but does he have the legs to fend off Onley?

This stage might have been shortened, but there’s still a serious amount of climbing to be done. The riders must complete two hors categꦗory climbs ♑- the Col du Pré first up, then La Plagne at the finish.

Incidentally, Jonas Vingegaard will be wearing the polka-dot jersey on loan from Pogačar, having gained points at two of yesterday’s hors category summits.

The previous weather of the polka-dots, Lenny Martinez, faces a big challenge if he’s to get them back - esp🍬ecially after he was docked eight points for taking a 🐲prolonged sticky bottle yesterday.

Today will be the last stage in the High Alps, and therefore the last opportunity for Jonas Vingegaard to use his nearly-unparalleled climbing speed in the mountains. The Dane has the beating of everyone on the big mountains - that is, all expect the man in the yellow jersey, Tadej Pogačar.

Despite being again unable to drop him yesterday, Vingegaard says he hasn&rsquo𝔉;t given up on winning yඣellow yet, so we can expect him to give it another go today.

Ben O’Connor was the victor yesterday, following in the footsteps of Thymen Arensman at Superbagnères by being the lone breakaway rider not to be caught by a charging Tadej Pogačar. Here’s what the Australian had to say when reflecting on his ride.

Oscar Onley of Picnic-PostNL is the next on the sign-on podium before stage 19. It will be fascinating to see if he can snatch third place on the podium from Florian Lipowitz after reducinꩵg the gap to j💦ust 22 seconds.

Of course, this guy is still in the y🎃ellow jersey.

As we step-up our live coverage, the riders 🎉are signing on Albertville. The good news is that the sun is out.

The Tour de France was disrupted yesterday evening by the news of "the discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies has necessitated the culling of the animals," the ASO stated in an announcement.

The result was a shortening of stage 19 form 129.9km to 95km, and you can read the full story here:
