Merlier Wins Amid Gaviria’s Exit | Little Rock News

Tim Merlier claimed his third Tour de France stage win in a wild, crash-filled sprint — including a broken collarbone for Fernando Gaviria, who’s now out. Despite the chaos, Tadej Pogacar holds a comfortable lead over Jonas Vingegaard. The stage was a flat 111-mile route from a former F1 track to eastern France, with breakaways swallowed by the peloton. Gaviria was helped across the line by a teammate, while others escaped major injury. Tomorrow’s 128-mile stage brings a brutal climb — and the race still heads to Paris on July 26.
