Tour de France 2022: Belgium's Jasper Philipsen clinched the stage 15.

Belgian Jasper Philipsen claimed his maiden victory on the Tour de France when he won in the 15th stage as overall leader Jonas Vingegaard and his team suffered a bad day.

Team Alpecin-Deceuninck rider, Jasper Philipsen managed to sprint away from Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) on the 202.5-km (125-mile) stage from Rodez to Carcassonne.

Philipsen just edging ahead of Wout van Aert, with Mads Pedersen in third and Peter Sagan fourth.

Jonas Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey despite a crash and after losing two important team-mates for the coming mountains stages.
