Tour de France Stage 18 - 129 miles

The Alps in France are harder than the Pyrenees mountains were earlier because they have steeper grades and higher altitudes but there was only a small shake up in the overall standings.  Alaphilippe retained the yellow jersey by making up time descending the mountain and with assistance from a team mate.  Nairo Quintana was the winner of the stage, but with only 3 more days to go, the race is still up for grabs.
