Reading Time: < 1 minute

Belgian Jasper Philipsen finally claimed victory in this year’s Tour de France, winning the 10th stage with a textbook sprint on Tuesday.

Philipsen, who won four stages in the world’s biggest race last year, benefited from a perfect lead-out by Alpecin-Deceuninck team mate and world champion Mathieu van der Poel to prevail after 187.3-km (116 miles) from Orleans to Saint-Amand-Montrond.

Eritrean Biniam Girmay, who has already won two stages in this edition, took second place with German Pascal Ackermann coming home third.

Slovenian Tadej Pogacar retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey.
