Tadej Pogacar, riding for the UAE Emirates team, further staked his claim for final victory in the 2024 Tour de France with a dominant but instinctive victory over Jonas Vingegaard in the first summit finish of the race at Pla d’Adet ski station in the Hautes Pyrenees.
Pogacar, winner of the Tour in 2020 and 2021, accelerated violently from the main favourites, just under five kilometres from the high-altitude finish, to extend his lead on the Danish defending champion, leader of the Visma Lease-a-bike team, to almost two minutes.
