Lundgaard wins Honda Indy Toronto for first victory Vingegaard keeps yellow jersey France as Poels soloes to victory

TORONTO – Christian Lundgaard has won the Honda Indy Toronto. It is Lundgaard’s first victory of the Indycar season. The Dane started the race on the pole but ultimately won because of a failed strategic gamble by Scott Mclaughlin and Scott Dixon. Indycar seasons standings leader Alex Palou took second despite starting 15th on the grid and a damaged front wing. Colton Herta was third for his first podium of the season. Toronto’s Devlin Defrancesco, the only Canadian driver in Indycar this season, exited the race after 10 laps due to a mechanical failure. Palou had won three of the past four races on the North American open-wheel circuit’s schedule, but started 15th after an early exit from qualifying. His podium finish Sunday padded his lead in the season’s standings ahead of Dixon, his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate. Dixon, the defending Honda Indy Toronto champion, started seventh on the grid and even led for several laps but finished fourth after his team miscalculated when he should pit.

France as Dutch veteran Wout Poels soloed to victory after a tough trek in the Alps with a mountaintop finish. Poels, who was part of an early breakaway in Sunday’s 15th stage, took advantage of a short but very steep ascent located just before the final 7-kilometer (4mile) climb leading to the finish line to move away. Wout van Aert finished second, more than two minutes behind, with Mathieu Burgaudeau completing the stage podium. Monday was a rest day.
