The Tour de France has been on a low simmer over the first 11 stages, but the 2025 edition began to boil on the first major summit finish at Hautacam on Thursday, with world champion Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates XRG) soloing away from his competitors to seize the yellow jersey.
Now leading the race ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) by 3:31 in the Tour de France GC standings and third-place Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quickstep) by 4:45, Pogačar's next test will be a 10.9 kilometre individual time trial straight up the category 1 climb to Peyragudes.
