Richard Carapaz claimed stage 18 with a solo ride up the Alps. Tour leader Tadej Pogačar still holds yellow. Mads Pedersen pads his grip on the green jersey race. Jonas Vingegaard missed crucial points in the mountains race. A spectator ran out on the road near the top of the top. Carapaz was forced to swerve clear in a flash. The fallout came roughly two k from the summit. None crashed. Leaders rolled on.
