Stage 15 route and updates with breakaway specialists and sprinters set to do battle - Stage 15 of the Tour de France sees the route flatten out - but will the sprinters have recovered enough to contest the finish?

Norway’s Jonas Abrahamsen won an incident-packed stage 11 at the Tour de France on Wednesday, outsprinting Mauro Schmid in Toulouse. Behind them, race favorite Tadej Pogačar crashed in the final minutes, but did not lose any time to his general classification rivals after they sportingly waited until he rejoined them.

Speaking in another interview, Kuss explained that although he had "run out of legs," to get in a breakaway was always a good place to be, and when Vingegaard and Pogačar overtook him in the main group of favourites, "things looked good."

The sprinters of the Tour de France may well be targeting the flat finish in Carcassonne - but could be foiled by a breakaway on a hilly stage 15

Stage 13 of the Tour de France will take place on Friday, July 18th, as Tadej Pogacar looks to maintain control of the lead.
