- Slovenian leads by more than three minutes after stage 15
- Race leader and Dane battle on climb to Plateau de Beille
Tadej Pogacar tightened his grip on the yellow jersey of Tour de France leadership, following up the victory on Saturday at Pla d’Adet, in the Pyrenees, with another summit success at Plateau de Beille in the Ariège.
Although the stage seemed set for another duel between the Slovenian, leader of the UAE Emirates team, and the defending champion, Jonas Vingegaard of Visma–Lease a Bike, Pogacar proved just too powerful for the Dane.
