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.

Bayern eye Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku as Kingsley Coman replacement
By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on August 14, 2025, 19:02 IST Bayern Munich are considering a move for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku following Kingsley Coman's exit from the club, according to reports. Nkunku, who joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig last summer, is seen as an ideal option to fill multiple attacking roles in Bayern's setup. His versatility, technical ability, and eye for goal make him a prime candidate to bolster the Bavarian side's attacking depth. While Bayern's interest is strong, the move is not yet a done deal. Sources suggest the final decision will depend heavily on the transfer fee and financial terms, especially as Nkunku is expected to leave Chelsea in the current transfer window. The French international has attracted significant attention across Europe this summer. Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and former club RB Leipzig have all expressed interest in securing his services, leaving the situation wide open. However, Bayern's need for a proven, adaptable forward following Coman's departure gives them an edge in the race.

Ten Hag says he can't work Harry Potter-style magic to hasten Leverkusen rebuild
LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP) — Erik ten Hag has warned he can't work Harry Potter-style magic to forge a new-look Bayer Leverkusen into a true team as the ex-Manchester United manager prepares for his first game in charge. Ten Hag's first job since leaving United sees the Dutch coach faced with a major rebuild at Leverkusen following the departure of his title-winning predecessor Xabi Alonso and key players including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka. 'I know how to manage processes and you can't force the process. It's impossible. No one is like Harry Potter," Ten Hag said on Thursday ahead of his first game on Friday in the German Cup against fourth-tier Sonnenhof Grossaspach. "Harry, he can really (quickly) construct a team, and in the same time it's successful, but that is not how top football works.' Ten Hag used the Harry Potter line in his time at United, too. Following a loss to Liverpool in September 2024, he said he was no Harry Potter while explaining the difficulties of relying on players who hadn't had much game time. Less than two months later, Ten Hag was fired by United after four losses in nine Premier League games. Ten Hag said he and the Leverkusen players will have to work hard together through the first half of the season and into the spring to be able to fight for trophies at the end of the campaign. 'For me, the start of the season is the middle of March, April 1, then you have to be in a position that you can win something,' he said. 'Until that time, we all have to work unbelievably hard to get into that position, to develop and progress the game model and to develop the team and the individual players.' New signings ahead of Friday's game include American attacking midfielder Malik Tillman, who Ten Hag said wasn't fit to play, ex-Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah and former Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken. ___
