Tadej Pogačar dealt his rivals another crushing blow by winning the 10th stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday to extend his already commanding overall lead.
Stage Victory
Pogačar, who had already sapped his rivals’ morale with victory on the iconic Col du Tourmalet, again stamped his authority with a break just over 900 meters from the summit of the Col de Pertus, the penultimate climb on Tuesday’s hilly stage.
Pogačar’s main challenger Jonas Vingegaard couldn’t follow and Pogačar quickly made ground on Richard Carapaz before powering past him 200 meters before the summit.
At the finish line, Pogačar was 32 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel for his 24th stage victory altogether — his third on Bastille Day, France’s national holiday — and the third already at this Tour.
