On a fast and furious stage of the Tour de France, where the racing belied the hot conditions and challenging parkour, Tadej Pogačar showed his dominance on the final category 1 climb, taking a commanding lead and getting revenge for his loss to Jonas Vingegaard in Le Lioran two years ago.
Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe) was seen to be suffering big time on the final climb, fighting for his GC position, but he pulled off an miraculous recovery to launch the sprint for second place, which he won. Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM) secured an impressive third place, which will taste especially sweet for the French prodigy and his legions of fans on Bastille Day.
