- Pogacar outsprints Jonas Vingegaard on summit finish
- Reigning champion stretches advantage over Evenepoel
An utterly dominant Tadej Pogacar won the final mountain stage to the Col de la Couillole in the Alpes Maritimes, and edged ever closer to completing a rare double of the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in the same season.
Once again, the 25-year-old leader of UAE Emirates found himself riding to the finish line with the defending champion, Jonas Vingegaard, and once again he proved the strongest, the Dane simply unable to respond to Pogacar’s attack.
