Matej Mohoric celebrated a solo victory as the longest stage of the Tour de France in 21 years delivered another shake-up of the fight for yellow.

Mathieu van der Poel extended his lead in yellow after getting into a 29-man breakaway which tested the resources of defending champion Tadej Pogacar and his UAE Team Emirates squad to the limit over the course of 249 gruelling kilometres between Vierzon and Le Creusot.
