Perrig Quemeneur

Another stage and another new Point d’Appui in the 2015 Tour de France. Perrig Quemeneur of Team Europcar has reached the fulcrum on the wending path of Stage 18.

The hill climbing allowed Quemeneur to rise in the GC standings to the center of the peloton, displacing Brice Feillu, who fell back on the stage.

Chris Froome continues to lead the race. Sébastien Chavanel continues as the Lanterne Rouge for the second stage in a row.

Louis Meintjes of MTN-Qhubeka and Mark Renshaw of Etixx-Quick-Step had to abandon the race on Stage 8. We’re left with 161 riders.
