Wellens Wins Tour Stage 15 After Crash Drama

News summary

Tim Wellens of UAE Team Emirates-XRG secured his first Tour de France stage win with a decisive solo attack on the descent into Carcassonne during Stage 15, completing his set of Grand Tour stage victories. Wellens finished 1:28 ahead of Victor Campenaerts, while Julian Alaphilippe, affected by an earlier crash and a faulty radio, mistakenly celebrated third. The stage was marked by a crash involving key contenders, after which the peloton regrouped when overall leader Tadej Pogacar slowed the pace to allow rivals to rejoin. Pogacar, who finished in the peloton over six minutes behind, maintained a 4:13 lead over Jonas Vingegaard in the general classification. This was the fifth stage win for UAE Team Emirates-XRG in this year's Tour, with Pogacar having claimed the other four. One rest day remains before the race heads into the Alps, where Pogacar continues his pursuit of a fourth Tour title.
