Juan Ayuso joined Tadej Pogačar in the podium area after the stage 10 finish in Le Loiran, having taken the best young rider's white jersey, but accepted that the Slovenian is in a race of his own, as everyone else fights for the podium spots and other jersey competitions.
Pogačar took his third stage victory in this year's race and extended his overall lead to 3:36 on a struggling Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike). Isaac del Toro suffered and was distanced on the final climb after UAE set a scorching pace to chase Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), to set up Pogačar. That allowed Ayuso to climb to fourth overall at 4:22 and to take the white jersey from the Mexican.
