Rated ascents:
The race: 152 riders began stage 18 at 1:40. There were two non-starters: Anthony Perez (Cofidis) & Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). Perez's team said he left the Tour for "personal reasons". Van Aert went home to be with his wife Sarah for the birth of their second child.
Soon after the start Kasper Asgreen (Soudal Quick-Step) attacked. Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X) and Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) soon joined him. Ten kilometers into the race the trio had a 1 minute 29 second lead over a Jayco-AlUla led peloton.
The day's first break early in the stage: Kasper Asgreen, Victor Campenaerts & Jonas Abrahamsen
The break was kept on a short leash. After 30 kilometers of racing the gap to the break was one minute.
Jonas Abrahamsen was the first of the break over the day's first rated climb, the fourth category Côte de Chambéry-le-Haut, with the peloton 1 minute 1 second back.
Jonas Abrahamsen leads the break over the day's first rated ascent.
Abrahamsen was also first over the day's second climb, the fourth category Côte de Boissieu.
With 74 kilometers to go, Simon Geschke (Cofidis), who was ill, was more than three minutes behind the peloton. The lead trio of Abrahamsen, Asgreen and Abrahamsen were 50 seconds off the front.
Unsurprisingly, Geschke abandoned.
With 65 kilometers to go Pascal Eenkhorn (Lotto Dstny) took off from the peloton in search of the break. Up in the break Abrahamsen sat up to wait for his teammate Eenkhorn. That worked, so now there were four riders off the front. With 58 kilometers left in the stage the quartet was 40 seconds ahead of the pack.
Abrahamsen won the intermediate sprint at Saint-Rambert-en-Bugey at kilometer 133.

15 kilometers to go, the break had a lead of just 30 seconds.

Lidl-Trek was leading the peloton, which had closed up to within 20 seconds of the break with 10 kilometers to go.
Six kilometers to go: still 20 seconds.
Three kilometers to go: 8 seconds
1.6 kilometers: 7 seconds
1 kilometer: 6 seconds
0.3 km: 6 seconds
They did it! Kasper Asgreen won the stage with Pascal Eenkhoorn second and Jonas Abrahamsen third.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin Deceuninck) led in the peloton and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remained the GC leader. Despite the gap, the pack was given the same time as the break riders.
Here's the organizer's stage 18 summary:
Kasper Asgreen claimed a surprise win at Bourg-en-Bresse, his first at the Tour de France, as he held off the sprinting peloton along with his breakaway companions Pascal Eenkhorn and Jonas Abrahamsen who rounded out the podium of stage 18. Hot favourite Jasper Philipsen had to settle for fourth in the first position of the peloton. Asgreen delivered Soudal-Quick Step’s first stage victory this year and a third for Denmark after Mads Pedersen and Jonas Vingegaard. The latter retains the yellow jersey.
ASGREEN, CAMPENAERTS AND ABRAHAMSEN IN THE LEAD
152 riders took the start of stage 18 in Moûtiers at 13.40. Non-starters: Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Anthony Perez (Cofidis). Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-Quick Step) was the first attacker, quickly joined by Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Dstny) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X). They got a maximum advantage of 1’48’’ at km 7. Teams Jayco-AlUla, DSM-Firmenich and Alpecin-Deceuninck paced the pack after that. For half of the race, the gap was stable around one minute.
Abrahamsen took the two KOM points up for grabs at Chambéry-le-Haut (km 62) and atop côte de Boissieu (km 105) where attacks finally took place at the head of the peloton, involving Pascal Eenkhorn (Lotto-Dstny), local rider Simon Guglielmi (Arkea-Samsic), Quinten Hermans (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies).
EENKHORN REINFORCES THE LEAD GROUP
Eenkhorn rode away from the pack with 65km remaining. Campenaerts waited for him. The two Lotto-Dstny riders caught up with Asgreen and Abrahamsen to make it a leading quartet 58km before the end. Abrahamsen also won the intermediate against a very motivated Eenkhorn while Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) showed no interest to challenge Philipsen for the green jersey. In the last hour of racing, Bora-Hansgrohe and Lidl-Trek took over from DSM-Firmenich, Alpecin-Deceuninck and Jayco-AlUla at the head of the peloton as the leading quartet was less than one minute up front.
THE PELOTON MISSES OUT ON CATCHING UP
Campenaerts was designated for the combativity award. He kept pulling the leading quartet until the very end, even when the chances to hold off the peloton were very slim with 40’’ lead at the 20-km to go mark, 20’’ with 10km to go and less than 10’’ within the last 3km. Campenaerts gave it all in the final straight with the idea to lead Eenkhorn out but it was Abrahamsen on his wheel and Asgreen who timed the sprint at perfection.
The Dane came second in a stage to Gap in 2019 and second again in the St-Emilion ITT in 2021 before he took his maiden win today, keeping the momentum for Danish riders in a Tour dominated by his compatriot Jonas Vingegaard.
