Richard Carapaz added to his Grand Tour tally on Saturday, winning a dramatic stage 20 of the Tour de France into Alpe d’Huez. The EF Education-EasyPost rider had once again been part of the day’s breakaway which was down to just three riders as they reached the bottom of the day’s final climb, the Col de Sarenne, with 27km to go. Having been distanced by Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike) close to the top of the climb, the American crashed on the road into the finish Alpe d’Huez, Carapaz able to take advantage and his second stage in three days.

Pogačar has now racked up 26 stage wins in his career, just nine shy of Mark Cavendish’s record. With just one more mountain stage left in today’s race his grip on the yellow jersey now appears unassailable.
