Laporte wins Tour Stage 19 and ends drought for France

Associated Press  

CAHORS, France — Christophe Laporte ended the host’s drought of stage winners when he surged out of the peloton in the finale of the 19th stage and claimed his maiden win on the Tour de France on Friday. Laporte made his move after a trio of breakaway riders was caught with 1.5 kilometers left in the 188.5-kilometer flat stage to Cahors in southwestern France. “I was already fully satisfied by our great team work, but to win a Tour stage is a childhood dream come true.” There was no significant change in the general classification. Van Aert pulled the peloton to set up Laporte, while Michael Matthews, from the BikeExchange-Jayco team, also took part in the chase to pave the way for sprinter Dylan Groenewegen to deliver.
