Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) soloed to his second career Tour de France stage win as the race entered the Alps on stage 18 with a summit finish at Orcières-Merlette.

The Ecuadorian, who two years ago won at Superdévoluy and took the mountain classification, proved the strongest man from a group of six breakaway survivors on the final climb of the 185.2km stage.
