The abandonment by Michael Valgren of Tinkoff-Saxo shortly after the start of Stage 19 of the 2015 Tour de France left the race with 160 riders to come home, and meant that there was no fulcrum again. Kristijan Durasek of Lampre-Merida and Emanuel Buchmann of Bora-Argon 18 share the cusp of the fulcrum, finishing 80th and 81st respectively.

Chris Froome of Sky remains the tour leader, and Sébastien Chavanel or FDJ.fr remains the Lanterne Rouge, some 4 hours, 34 minutes and 40 seconds adrift of the leader.

Since we’re back in Les Cuspides, here are a couple of fulcrum finishes out on the stage:

• In the intermediate sprint of the day, Joaquim Rodriguez of Team Katusha, who at that time was wearing the polka dot jersey, nabbed the middle placement on the sprint.
• For the points awarded at the end of the day, Robert Gesink of Team LottoNL-Jumbo proved to have the middle placement among the 15 riders who scored points. In the overall points race, Daniel Teklehaimanot of MTN-Qhubeka holds the fulcrum among the 67 riders who have scored points. Romain Bardet of AG2R La Mondiale, who finished fifth on the stage, climbed into the overall lead for the mountain points.
• In the overall competition for best young rider, Georg Preidler of Team Giant-Alpecin remains at the fulcrum of the 25 competing riders.
