TADEJ Pogacar beat fellow Slovenian and overall leader Primoz Roglic to win the 15th stage of the Tour de France as defending champion Egan Bernal all but abandoned his crown. The Colombian was dropped 13km from the finish at the top of the Col du Grand Colombier, a 17.4-km ascent, and lost more than seven minutes. Roglic leads Pogacar by 40 seconds and Rigoberto Uran by 1:34. Sam Bennett is now 45 points ahead of Peter Sagan (269-224) in the battle for the green jersey. Dan Martin finished the stage in 21st (27th overall) and Nicholas Roche was 86th (72nd overall). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
