  • Remco Evenepoel won his first road race stage in the Tour de France, his third stage victory overall in the race.
  • Evenepoel capitalized on the withdrawal of Jonas Vingegaard and a tactical move by Tadej Pogacar that aimed to set up his teammate Isaac Del Toro.
  • The Belgian rider secured the win in a sprint finish atop Plateau de Solaison.

Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel has added a new milestone to his impressive career, securing his first road race stage victory in the Tour de France. This win marks his third stage triumph in the prestigious cycling event, adding to his previous successes in time trials.

The 15th stage of the Tour de France saw Evenepoel emerge victorious after a strategic race. He benefited from the unfortunate withdrawal of key competitor Jonas Vingegaard due to a crash. Additionally, Tadej Pogacar attempted to orchestrate a stage win for his teammate Isaac Del Toro, a plan that ultimately faltered.

When Del Toro proved unable to complete Pogacar's intended maneuver, Evenepoel seized the opportunity. He launched his attack and won the sprint finish at the summit of Plateau de Solaison, crossing the line ahead of a seemingly passive Pogacar. This victory underscores Evenepoel's versatility and strong performance in the current Tour de France.
