Ordine d’arrivo Tour de France 2026, diciottesima tappa: Carapaz fa festa a Orcières-Merlette, i big non si fanno male

Si è chiusa con la vittoria di Richard Carapaz la diciottesima tappa del Tour de France 2026. Dopo averci provato per quasi tre settimane, l’ecuadoriano è riuscito oggi a firmare il primo sigillo in questa Grande Boucle, partecipando alla fuga di giornata e mettendo tutti gli avversari dietro sull’arrivo in salita di Orcières-Merlette. 

Il portacolori dell’EF Education Easy-Post è scattato a tre chilometri dall’arrivo ed ha continuato in solitaria fino al traguardo, ottenendo la 25esima vittoria in carriera. Seconda posizione, la seconda consecutiva, per Mauro Schmid (Jayco Alula), abile ad anticipare Matteo Jorgenson (Team Visma Lease a Bike). Chiude in quarta piazza la maglia a pois Valentin Paret-Peintre (Soudal Quick-Step) a 1’14”.

Il gruppo della maglia gialla lascia andare la fuga di giornata ed i big non sprecano energie in vista del tappone di domani. La Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe tiene comunque alto il ritmo in salita e Remco Evenepoel chiude al nono posto, davanti a tutto il gruppo.
