Jasper Philipsen wins scorching Tour de France stage; Jonas Vingegaard keeps overall lead but loses teammate
Jul 17, 2022
Associated Press
CARCASSONNE, France -- Jasper Philipsen of Belgium braved a heat wave to win the 15th stage of the Tour de France in a sprint Sunday as Jonas Vingegaard kept the leader's yellow jersey.
Primož Roglič, the 2020 runner-up and a key teammate for Vingegaard, abandoned the race before the start Sunday because of injuries he previously suffered in this year's edition.

Vingegaard's lead remains unchanged at 2 minutes, 22 seconds over 2020 and 2021 Tour winner Tadej Pogačar of Slovenia after they both finished in the lead group. However, the Danish rider had to recover from a fall and has lost two of his Jumbo-Visma teammates, including Roglič. That leaves Vingegaard with reduced support in the peloton as the race enters the Pyrenees following a rest day Monday.
Roglič did not start the stage following injuries he suffered in Stage 5 when he crashed into a hay bale that had been knocked into the road by a motorbike. Roglič reset his own dislocated shoulder on the side of the road and had been racing in pain ever since.
