Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) beat Nick Schulz (BikeExchange-Jayco) in a photo finish after a thrilling two-man sprint to take stage 10 at road cycling's Tour de France on Tuesday (12 July).
Two-time defending Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar finished with the peloton and hung on to his overall lead by just 11 seconds from Lennard Kamna (Bora-hansgrohe).
"It's huge. For me, it can't get any bigger than this," said Denmark's Cort, who was part of a 35-rider breakaway. It is his second career stage win at Le Tour, the first one since 2018.
"The Tour de France is the biggest race, and it's unbelievable to do it again. When we entered the runway and I saw things coming back together, I saw a podium in the corner and a sign of the Tour de France and I said 'this one's mine'. I just had to take it, no matter the price."
Thursday's stage will see riders take on the second consecutive alpine mountain stage. The 151km route from the 1992 Olympic host city Albertville to Col du Granon tackles the renowned Col du Telegraphe and Col du Galibier along the way.
