The split in the peloton threw the rider’s placements into the jackstraws again with many riders sliding back while others gained jumps in their placement, and Angelo Tulik of Team Europcar wound up as the Point d’Appui after the end of Stage 15 of the Tour de France.

The 25-year-old Tulik began bicycling when he was 9 years old. In 2014, he won the Roue Tourangelle and seems on track to become a strong competitor in the Spring Classics. Right now he is 12th in the young rider classification.

Christopher Froome of Team Sky retains the yellow jersey, and Sam Bennett of Bora-Argon 18 continues as the Lanterne Rouge, just over 16 minutes behind the penultimate rider of the Tour.

Sebastian Langeveld, the Dutch rider for Cannondale-Garmin Pro Cycling Team, had to abandon the race due to illness on Stage 15.
