Jonas Vingegaard barely escaped disastrous time losses Wednesday in a nervous crash-marred finale on stage 5 of the Tour de France.
A fast bike swap and a favorable race jury ruling kept the Visma-Lease a Bike leader level with Tadej Pogačar just a day before the Tour’s first mountain stage.
The Visma-Lease a Bike leader was caught up behind a late crash just beyond the race’s 5-kilometer safety zone, meaning that time splits at the line count in the general classification.
