Matej Mohoric posted his first stage win in the Tour de France on Friday following a long breakaway in the race’s longest stage.
The 249km hilly trek from Vierzon to Le Creusot was the longest in 21 years.
Mohoric was part of a group that formed more than 200km before the finish line. He went solo in the stage’s finale, using a tough climb to drop his remaining breakaway companions and reach the finish line in Le Creusot alone.
