CHAMPAGNOLE: Primoz Roglic kept his lead in the Tour de France on Friday (Saturday in Manila) with just two stages remaining as Denmark’s Soren Kragh Andersen burst clear to victory on stage 19. Sunweb rider Andersen also won the stage at Lyon last week in similar style, striking from 3km out, this time he attacked with 16km to go. At the head of the main pack, Bennett won the dash for the intermediary sprint points taking 11, to Sagan’s seven. At the front, Andersen kept working and finished 53 seconds clear. But, with two sprints on the stage, Sagan could still snatch the points jersey from Bennett in the furious final charge around the Champs Elysees.
