Canadian Michael Woods delivered an impressive solo effort to claim the biggest success of his career at the top of a legendary Tour de France climb on Sunday.
He managed to catch American Matteo Jorgenson just 500 meters from the summit after his 24-year-old rival jumped away from the leading group with less than 50 kilometres left.
““It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and talked about doing, but is never something I’ve achieved and I finally did it,” Woods said. Houle’s victory was Canada’s first stage win in the historic race since Steve Bauer captured the opening stage of the Tour in 1988.Riding well behind the breakaway, Pogacar and Vingegaard were again in a class of their own in the group of contenders. After another great collective effort from Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma teammates in the final ramp that destroyed the field, Pogacar launched his attack with 1.5 kilometres left and accelerated again on the steepest gradients.
