The Tourmalet delivered the expected drama Saturday at the 2019 Tour de France as the high-mountain summit finish drew out the general classification riders for a big battle over the 19km ascent. Frenchman Thibaut Pinot (Groupamna-FDJ) thrilled his French fans with an attack in the final kilometres that was enough to leave the select group of climbers he was with and secured the stage win.
