CULOZ (FRANCE) - Jarlinson Pantano finally provided some joy for Colombia at the Tour de France by winning Sunday's 15th stage. But there was celebration after Pantano outsprinted Poland's Rafal Majka to win the 160km mountainous stage from Bourg en Bresse to Culoz. It broke up on the hors category Grand Colombier climb inside the final 60km, with 13 riders left at the front, 8:30 ahead of the peloton. The peloton had closed to 7:45 by the summit of the Grand Colombier but it was clear the stage victory would be decided up front. Russian Ilnur Zakarin and Majka went clear on the first of two climbs up the Grand Colombier and pulled out a gap of more than a minute.
