Tour de France: Hagen wins stage 19
Edvald Boasson Hagen won stage 19 of the Tour de France as Britain’s Chris Froome maintained his overall lead. The Norwegian was part of a 20-man breakaway but made a winning solo attack late on to finish ahead of Germany’s Nikias Arndt in second and Jens Keukeleire of Belgium in third.
It was Boasson Hagen’s third Tour stage victory, but his first since 2011. Team Sky rider Froome crossed the line in Salon-de-Provence over 12 minutes behind the stage winner.
