Tour de France 2022 – Bob Jungels lands special Stage 9 win after 63km solo break, Tadej Pogacar keeps yellow

Bob Jungels (AG2R Citroen) landed a sensational 63km solo break to win Stage 9 at the Tour de France in the first Alpine finish.

A fervent finale saw the spectators will Thibaut Pinot (Groupama–FDJ) towards Jungels – just a day after the home favourite was wiped out by a soigneur’s bag.

But Jungels refused to crack and after the final incline flattened out, the result did not look in doubt. It was Luxembourg’s first stage win at the Tour since Andy Schleck on the Galibier in 2011.
