Pogacar pounces to retake Tour de France lead

Visma's Jonas Vingegaard was second, doggedly staying right on Pogacar's wheel to the line with Briton Oscar Onley third after a late nine-rider pileup marred the finale.

On his 19th career Tour de France stage win the 26-year-old Pogacar gained four seconds on Vingegaard with 10 bonus seconds to the Dane's six.

"It was super hot today, and super fast but we had a plan and we stuck to it," said the Team UAE rider who was champion in 2020, 2021 and 2024.

In the overall standings, Remco Evenepoel is second overall at 54 seconds after coming in sixth on the day, two seconds adrift.
