Tour de France 2019, stage 19 results and standings: Egan Bernal rides into yellow jersey on shortened stage
Stage 19 of the Tour de France ended in chaos as an intense hailstorm and a landslide forced organisers to stop the race before the final climb.
Organisers declared that times would be taken from the top of the Col de l'Iseran, putting Team Ineos rider Egan Bernal into the yellow jersey after he crested the highest point of the Tour first after attacking out of the group of favourites on the 126.5km stage to Tignes.
Bernal had attacked after Geraint Thomas and Steven Kruijswijk made moves in what proved a successful bid to shake off Julian Alaphilippe, who cracked midway up the Iseran.
Provisional results showed Bernal leading by 45 seconds from Alaphilippe, with Thomas a further 18 seconds back in third.
The Tour continues on Saturday with stage 20, the 130km run from Albertville to Val Thorens, and concludes in Paris on Sunday.
