Pedersen wins Tour de France mass sprint after Cavendish crashes; Vingegaard keeps yellow jersey
Associated PressLIMOGES, France — With Mark Cavendish out of the picture, former world champion Mads Pedersen claimed a second career stage win at the Tour de France on Saturday with a big burst of power to win a mass sprint. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard kept the yellow jersey after the 201-kilometer eighth stage from Libourne to Limoges in central France. The British rider had finished second in Friday’s stage when Philipsen denied the rider known as the “Manx Missile” an outright record 35th Tour stage win. The pulsating duel between Pogacar and Vingegaard is expected to resume during Sunday’s ninth stage, which finishes with a spectacular climb to Puy-de-Dome, a famed volcanic crater in the Massif Central region of south-central France which last hosted a stage 35 years ago.
