    Caleb Ewan's victory today means 10 different winners from the 10 individual stages so far, the first time that has happened since 1996.

    Will there be an 11th different winner tomorrow?

  3. Stage 12 profilepublished at 16:58 British Summer Time 17 July 2019

    Julian Alaphilippe carries the yellow jersey into the Pyrenees, with some serious climbing set to get under way tomorrow on stage 12.

    Alaphilippe just might be able to hang on through stage 12 into Friday's time trial.

    Stage 11 winner Caleb Ewan: "I can't believe it, I've been close in the last four sprints and my team never lost faith in me and I never lost faith in my sprinting. I knew if everything came together I could be fastest on the day and today I showed that.

    "With 10km to go I was caught behind my team-mate Jasper de Buyst so was at the back of the bunch but Roger Kluge came back for me and took me to Dylan Groenewegen's wheel in the last few kilometres and once I was there I had some time to recover and had the legs on me to win.

    "Since childhood there is no other race I've dreamt of winning. Watching in Australia, the Tour seems so far away - I can't believe I'm even here but to win a stage is a dream come true."

    What Warren Barguil is doing getting 10th in a bunch sprint, I don't know.

    Anyway, Jumbo-Visma did everything almost perfectly in their lead out, Dylan Groenewegen just didn't have the edge to beat Caleb Ewan today.

    France's Julian Alaphilippe retains the yellow jersey.

    And Britain's Geraint Thomas finished safely in the bunch and remains second overall.

    Giulio Ciccone is the big GC casualty today, starting the day 10th but losing a lot of time after being caught up in a crash with about 28km to go.

    The diminutive Aussie Caleb Ewan lets out a roar of joy as he's mobbed by his Lotto Soudal team-mates.

    That was a tough finish for the Belgian squad - Jasper de Buyst took a tumble into a ditch and Ewan was held up slightly by that but got himself back into prime position.

    A first Tour de France stage win in his debut Tour.

    Tremendous, fighting riding by Caleb Ewan. You've got to have express speed to reel in Dylan Groenewegen.

    Elia Viviani and Peter Sagan trailed in behind, both slightly caught out of position down the finishing straight.

    Ewan fought that all the way to the line. When Groenewegen jumps he usually takes bike lengths out of his rivals.

    This is a big day in Caleb Ewan's career. He had the look of someone who had been beaten so many times but wasn't going to let it happen again.
