BEN O'Connor won stage 18 of the Tour de France with a world-class climb over three Alpine mountains on Thursday, as defending champion Tadej Pogacar extended his race lead.

Australian O'Connor, 29, broke away solo 15km from the finish and navigated through the mist to win 1min 45sec ahead of Pogacar atop the Col de la Loze.

Vingegaard crossed the line in third place, nine seconds behind the Slovenian.

“It was brutal — I've never experienced anything so hard. The team did well and we had a good plan, but I couldn't take any time off Tadej," said Vingegaard.

Pogacar now holds a 4min 26sec lead over the Dane in the general classification with three days remaining before the finish in Paris.

Starting the day with a deficit of 4min 15sec, Vingegaard had launched an attack a massive 71km from the finish.
