Tour de France 2022 result LIVE: Bob Jungels wins Stage 9 after remarkable solo ride with Tadej Pogacar fifth

The breakaway group have reached the base of the next climb. It’s the first category 2 rise of the 2022 Tour de france. Col des Mosses is 13.3km with a gradient of 4.1%.

95km to go.

100km left to go.

Polka Dot jersey holder Magnus Cort is sat deep in the peloton cycling along at a comfortable pace. It doesn’t look as though he has any thoughts of challenging for the KOM points today.

The breakaway’s lead is now three minuts 18 seconds.

The gap between the breakaway and the peloton is now over three minutes. As part of the leading group Rigoberto Uran is now under a minute behind Tadej Pogacar in the general classification.

There’s 103km to go as the riders head up a steady rise on their way towards Col des Mosse.

Benoît Cosnefroy needs a wheel change in the leading group and has a bit of work to do to catch back up with the breakawy pack.

After Cosnefroy, Pierre Latour picks up a puncture too.

With 284 points Wout van Aert has secured the green jersey until at least stage 12. Fabio Jakobsen from Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl is his closest challenger with 149 points.

115km to go.

UAE are working hard at the front of the peloton to keep the gap between them and the breakaway to around two and a half minutes.

They are very much aware that Uran is travelling well in the breakaway.

Here are the full results of the intermediate sprint at Semsales:

1. Wout van Aert, 20 pts

2. Nils Politt, 17 pts

3. Luis Leon Sanchez, 15 pts

4. Hugo Houle, 13 pts

5. Bob Jungels, 11 pts

6. Simon Geschke, 10 pts

7. Benoît Cosnefroy, 9 pts

8. Guy Niv, 8 pts

9. Pierre Latour, 7 pts

10. Patrick Konrad, 6 pts

11. Kobe Goossens, 5 pts

12. Ion Izagirre, 4 pts

13. Joe Dombrowski, 3 pts

14. Thibaut Pinot, 2 pts

15. Rigoberto Uran, 1 pt

Rigoberto Uran’s presence in the breakaway group may be causing a few nerves from the general classification riders. Uran is only three minutes, 24 seconds behind Tour leader Tadej Pogacar and if the leading pack get clear Uran could fly up the leaderboard.

The gap is two minutes, 22 seconds, it will be interesting to see how far in front the peloton lets them get before a response.

Wout van Aert storms to the front of the 21 breakaway riders and leads them through the intermeditate sprint at Semsales. He crosses the line at the head of the pack and collects the 20 points in the sprinters qualification.

None of the breakaway group challenged him all that much and the green jersey holder takes a firmer grip on his prize.
