protects his lead
NEVERS, France (AP) --- Norwegian rider Soren Wrenskjold sprinted to victory
in the 11th stage of the Tour de France and Tadej Pogacar protected his overall
lead on Wednesday.
Wrenskjold finished just ahead of Olav Kooij, Jasper Philipsen and a host of
other riders in a sprint finish that seemed inevitable on the relatively short
and flat 161.3-kilometer (100.2-mile) route from Vichy to Nevers in central
France.
It's the 26-year-old Wrenskjold's first stage win, and came a day after he
crashed on the hilly stage to Le Lioran.
Pogacar, who stretched his lead to more than 3 minutes with his third stage
win of this Tour the day before, finished among a bunch of riders with his main
challenger Jonas Vingegaard to maintain his advantage.
