Pogacar wins stage, takes Tour de France lead from Vingegaard

Tadej Pogacar claimed his 22nd Tour de France stage victory in Les Angles, seizing the yellow jersey from rival Jonas Vingegaard. The Slovenian rider finished two seconds ahead of Vingegaard, a gap that, combined with a time bonus, overturned the Dane's previous six-second advantage in the general classification.

Despite the tie in overall time, Pogacar will wear the yellow jersey due to a better stage placing record. The victory marks a significant shift in the race's dynamics, intensifying the rivalry between the two top contenders.

Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel finished eighth on the stage, maintaining his third place in the general classification, 23 seconds behind the leader. Mexican rider Isaac del Toro, who worked for Pogacar, holds fourth place, just one second behind Evenepoel. Spanish cyclist Juan Ayuso sits in fifth place, 27 seconds off the lead, followed by French prospect Paul Seixas and German rider Florian Lipowitz.
