Three-time Tour champion Tadej Pogačar finished farther back alongside main rival Vingegaard and French rider Lenny Martinez with a gap of 4 minutes, 51 seconds.
It meant Healy, who claimed his first stage victory on Thursday, took the overall lead, 29 seconds ahead of Pogačar.
Remco Evenepoel was third, 1:29 behind, and Vingegaard 1:46 behind in fourth.
'I'm still behind and I have to take time at one point,' said Vingegaard, who remained positive that Pogačar wasn't too far ahead.
'So far I've been able to follow all his attacks which I couldn't do in [Critérium du] Dauphiné,' Vingegaard said, referring to the traditional Tour curtain-raiser. 'I think that that shows that I have a better level now than I had in Dauphiné.'

Stage 10 took the riders on an arduous 165.3-kilometer route in the Massif Central — France's south-central highland region — from Ennezat through seven category two climbs. It finished on the ascent of Puy de Sancy — the region's highest peak — after 3.3 kilometers of an 8 percent gradient climb.
French rider Julian Alaphilippe lived up to expectations with the first break on France's national day, Bastille Day, carving out a 10-second lead before he was caught on the first climb up Côte de Loubeyrat.
Norwegian rider Søren Wærenskjold had to withdraw early as the tough start proved too much after his crash the day before.
German rider Georg Zimmermann withdrew before the start following his crash on Sunday. His team, Intermarché-Wanty, said he 'developed signs of a concussion during the night.'
Dutch sprinter Marijn van den Berg also retired due to injuries from his crash on Stage 1, EF Education-Easypost said.
The riders can look forward to their first rest day on Tuesday.

Liverpool have sealed the signing of a new striker from Eintracht Frankfurt. By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 21, 2025, 18:43 IST Liverpool have sealed the signing of a new striker from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Reds aren't stopping this summer transfer window as they have bought one midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen, namely Florian Wirtz (€100 million+ deal) and now a striker from Frankfurt named Hugo Ekitike (€95 million deal). The deal is done and sealed, only the official announcement is pending. Liverpool were the champions of PL 2024/25 season under Arne Slot and now the manager wants a complete change of the squad to think of the future. Liverpool are not slowing down in the summer transfer window, having sealed the signing of highly-rated striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a blockbuster €95 million deal. While the official announcement is still pending, the deal is understood to be done and dusted. Ekitike becomes Liverpool's second major signing of the window following the €100 million+ arrival of midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The two signings signal the club's clear intent to reshape their squad for the future under Arne Slot. Slot, who led the Reds to a sensational Premier League title in the 2024/25 season, is aiming to build a new era at Anfield. The Dutch manager is reportedly pushing for a younger, dynamic squad capable of dominating for years to come, and Ekitike's addition fits perfectly into that vision. The French forward impressed in the Bundesliga with his pace, technical ability, and eye for goal, attracting interest from several top clubs before Liverpool swooped in to secure his signature.

2025 World Matchplay Darts prediction: Michael van Gerwen vs. Raymond van Barneveld
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Two of the biggest icons in the history of pro darts will do battle for what could be the final time Monday at the 2025 World Matchplay. Three-time world champion Michael 'MVG' van Gerwen is a minus-230 favorite over his role model, Raymond 'Barney' van Barneveld, at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. The Dutch legends have faced each other more than 50 times, including in the semifinals of the 2017 PDC World Championships, which was eventually won by van Gerwen. Although neither van Barneveld nor van Gerwen is at the height of his powers, they both possess the ability to play at an all-world level, and will have this tournament circled as the perfect time to get their acts together. For van Barneveld, this also could be his last real crack at glory. The 58-year-old has already retired once, and earlier this year he announced plans to slow down his schedule. For van Gerwen, this tournament simply has to go well. 'Mighty' Mike has lost seven of his past nine matches and is in danger of losing touch with the top players in the world like Luke Littler and Luke Humphries. Raymond van Barneveld is pictured Jan. 24. Getty Images This match, against his friend and hero, should be the spark that van Gerwen needs as he tries to win this tournament for a fourth time. MVG should be able to raise his level against van Barneveld, who has been losing to some soft competition of late.
