TIGNES, France - Egan Bernal looked set to become the first Colombian rider to win the Tour de France after claiming the lead – and the Team Ineos leadership — in dramatic conditions in a 19th stage that was cut short by a hailstorm and a landslide on Friday.
France’s Julian Alaphilippe cracked as defending champion Geraint Thomas, Bernal’s team mate, sat in a reduced group that tried to bridge the gap with the 22-year-old Bernal, the third Colombian to wear the coveted yellow jersey after Victor Hugo Pena and Fernando Gaviria. The Colombian also collected an eight-second bonus to end the day 48 seconds ahead of the world number one in the general classification with only Saturday’s 20th stage able to change the rankings.
“We’ve maybe not been the strongest that we’ve been all race, but today was the day. We thought if there was anywhere that we could make the difference it was on the Iseran.”
