RICHIE FIGHTS TO THE END ON ALPE d'HUEZ - Tour de France: Stage 19 | RaceTV from EF Pro Cycling

Richard Carapaz raced into the polka dot jersey with a stupendous raid across the Alps from Gap to Alpe d'Huez. A day after his victory on Orcières-Merlette, Richie took off on the first climb out of Gap with Ben Healy, Alex Baudin, and Sean Quinn by his side in a 41-rider move. With their help, Richie racked up points over the Col Bayard, Col du Noyer, and Col d'Ornon, before launching a huge attack on Alpe d'Huez. Richie smashed what was left of the group down to five on the early slopes and pushed hard towards the summit, while the yellow jersey group charged behind them. Soon there were only two rivals from the break latched to his wheel. In the final kilometers, Richie launched again to try to shake them off and hold off the yellow jersey. He was caught with just over a kilometer to go. Richie pushed all the way to the summit and finished third on the stage.
