Ben Healy still holds the yellow jersey after stage 11 of the Tour de France.

Healy retains his place as leader after Wednesday's stage was won by Jonas Abrahamsen.

His lead remains 29 seconds despite an incident for race favourite Tadej Pogacar, the UAE Team Emirates rider taking a tumble with four kilometres to go.

Healy and the other leaders in the peloton sat up and waited for the defending champion to return to the bunch after his bike suffered no major damage.

The 11th stage was a short 156.8-kilometre course that started and finished in Toulouse, which was full of incidents.

Healy won his first ever Tour de France stage last week, and finished third on Monday to claim the yellow jersey.
