Jungels wins Tour de France stage nine, Pogacar retains yellow

The AG2R-Citroen motorcyclist dominated from the day’s breakaway after standing up to a strong chase by France’s Thibaut Pinot

Bob Jungels of Luxemburg won the nine phase of the Scenic tour de France, a 192.9-km hill trip from Aigle, Switzerland, on Sunday.

The AG2R-Citroen motorcyclist dominated from the day’s breakaway after standing up to a strong chase by France’s Thibaut Pinot, that gave up in the last kilometres as well as completed fourth.

Jonathan Castroviejo took 2nd area 22 secs behind Jungels with fellow Spaniard Carlos Verona winding up 3rd an additional 4 secs adrift.

Slovenian Tadej Pogacar of UAE Group Emirates preserved the general leader’s yellow jacket.
