Michael Matthews soloed to victory on the 14th stage of the Tour de France on Saturday, when defending champion Tadej Pogacar tried in vain to regain time on leader Jonas Vingegaard.
Stage winner Australia's Michael Matthews celebrates as he crosses the finish line of the fourteenth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 192.5 kilometers with start in Saint-Etienne and finish in Mende, France, Saturday, July 16, 2022. Michael Matthews soloed to victory on the 14th stage of the Tour de France on Saturday when defending champion Tadej Pogacar tried in vain to regain time on leader Jonas Vingegaard.
Ottawa's Michael Woods was the top Canadian in Stage 14, finishing in 18th. He moved up 11 spots in the general classification to 51st overall. The unorthodox strategy played havoc in the bunch as Primoz Roglic, a key lieutenant of Vingegaard within the Jumbo-Visma team, struggled at the back. He was joined at the front by Bettiol in the Cote de la Croix Neuve, a short but punishing three-kilometer ascent with a gradient of more than 10% followed by a short descent across the airfield to the finish line.
