Hi Subscribers,
Jonas Vingegaard has crashed out of the Tour de France. The Visma Lease a Bike leader hit the deck with just over 22km remaining on stage 15.

The Danish rider was sitting second overall in the race at the start of the day, 4:30 behind Tadej Pogačar.
Visma Lease a Bike set the pace for most of the day, but on a right-hand corner, Vingegaard was the first rider to fall. There were several other riders taken down, but as his team gathered around him, it was clear that the two-time winner was in serious pain, holding his right shoulder.
When his teammates were asked to ride on without him, it was clear that Vingegaard’s race was over and he was soon assisted into an ambulance.
This is a breaking story, and we’ll have further updates later today.
