Jonas Abrahamsen wins dramatic Stage 11 at Tour de France

Paris, July 17 (UNI) Tadej Pogacar looked certain to lose time on Stage 11 at the Tour de France after a late crash, only for his general classification rivals to sit up and allow him to catch up. A dramatic day at the Tour, won by Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility), saw Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) suffer a huge scare, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) fall short in his bid to catch the leaders and "the rulebook ripped up" after a flurry of attacks while some big names had stopped for a comfort break.
As the stage was drawing to a close, Uno-X's general classification leader caught the front wheel of Tadej Pogacar, sending him skidding to the floor and separating him from the group of GC favourites. As the incident took place outside the 3km "safety zone" he would have lost time had the maillot jaune, Ben Healy (EF Education-Easy Post) not called on the group to wait for the world champion. Not long before, Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) had made his first attack of the race - albeit a short dart that was comfortably covered.
The first stage of the second week took place on a punchy hundred mile loop beginning and ending in Toulouse, "the pink city" which often serves as the gateway to the Pyreneean phase of the Tour de France.
