Pogacar pips Van der Poel to Swiss Tour Time Trial win
June 21, 2026
|Gulf Today
Tadej Pogacar extended his Tour of Switzerland lead after sensationally piping his one-day classics rival Mathieu van der Poel by just three tenths of a second in Saturday's individual time-trial.
-
Starting last as the race leader, world champion Pogacar drilled his effort over the 33.7km route around Aarburg as hard as he could, right to the line, and it proved enough to deny Van der Poel a morale-boosting victory.
“I felt great. I didn’t know I was fighting for the win. I knew it was close,” said Pogacar, who has won two of the first four stages and is the overwhelming favourite for Sunday's finale in the high mountains.
“I was just trying to go all out to the finish and I'm really happy with the win.
“It's a great race and I'm happy to take a second win and I'll go out for another one tomorrow.”
Pogacar now has 11 wins this season in just 15 race days.
