Phil Bauhaus again just missed his first stage win at the 110th Tour de France. The 28-year-old from Bocholt had to settle for third place in Moulins behind the day’s winner Jasper Philipsen and Dylan Groenewegen. Before the eleventh stage, Bauhaus had already sprinted to second place in Bayonne and a day later to third place in Nogara.
Phil Bauhaus has his first stage win at the 110. Just missed the Tour de France again.

Before the eleventh stage, Bauhaus had already sprinted to second place in Bayonne and a day later to third place in Nogara.
There were no changes at the top of the overall standings on the last flat stage before the Alps. Denmark’s defending champion Jonas Vingegaard is 17 seconds ahead of Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar. Jai Hindley from the German team Bora-hansgrohe is third, 2:40 minutes back.
On Thursday there is already a foretaste of the Alps. On the way to the Beaujolais wine region, two category 2 climbs have to be mastered in the last 50 of the 168.8 kilometers. If the classification favorites take it easy, a breakaway group will win the day among themselves.
