Slovenian Matei Mohoric won this Friday at the nineteenth stage Tour de France 2023ending at Poligny, in a tight sprint with two breakaway partners, Dane Kasper Asgrin and Australian Ben O’Connor.
A photo of the race was necessary to find out the winner of the stage, because of how close Asgrien was to the finish line, who did not repeat the victory the day before in Bourg-en-Bresse.
Both of them, along with O’Connor, attacked in the final stage, escaping a breakaway that led the peloton for over 8 minutes and included some major sprinters such as Belgian Jasper Philipsen, who failed to take a fifth Tour victory.

The Alpecin cyclist was the first in this pursuit group and now he has only one option to add a fifth victory – the victory on the Champs-Elysées in Paris.
The peloton was suffering a break that involved a good portion of the sprinters, so none of their teams claimed responsibility for the chase.

Before the last stage, you will have to overcome the last mountain day, in the Jura mountain range, with two first-class ports at the end, which will give the final touch to the whole.
