Pogacar wins at the top of Hautacam

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) took the lead in the Tour de France today, after winning alone at the top of Hautacam, adding his third victory in this edition to the 12th stage. On the first day in the Pyrenees, the reigning Tour champion attacked at the start of the special category climb to complete the 180.6 kilometres from Auch alone in 04:21.19 hours, leaving the Dane Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) 02.10 minutes behind and the German Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe), who was third, 02.23 minutes behind. After achieving his 20th stage victory in the Tour de France and his third in the 112th edition, the 26-year-old Slovenian cyclist regained the yellow jersey and now leads the overall standings with a 3.31-minute lead over Vingegaard, with Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) completing the podium, 4.45 minutes behind.

Tomorrow, the favorites for the final victory face a new challenge in the 10.9-kilometer "chrono-climb" between Loudenvielle and the top of Peyragudes, where the finish line coincides with a first-category mountain climb.
