Jonas Vingegaard hit the deck after the finish of the 16th stage of the Tour de France when he was jostled by a photographer on the top of Mont Ventoux, the two-time Tour de France champion said on Tuesday.

The three-time champion is up 4 minutes, 15 seconds over the Danish rider with five days to go. France’s Valentin Paret-Peintre wins the 16th stage.

Vingegaard had a tough first week time trial and also a big setback on the Hautacam stage, where he effectively won the Tour in 2023, but he then showed signs of improvement on stage 13's uphill time trial and again in the final Pyrenean stage at Superbagnères.

Jonas Vingegaard is in an unenviable position heading into the third week of the Tour de France.
