Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar extends lead with stage 14 win

Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar extended his overall lead in the Tour de France with a dominant victory on stage 14 in the Pyrenees.

UAE-Team Emirates’ Pogacar, resplendent in the yellow jersey he has worn every day since stage four, powered up the Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d’Adet summit finish, crossing the line 39 seconds ahead of defending champion Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark.

Vingegaard, of Visma-Lease a Bike, chased Pogacar up the final mountain climb after Pogacar attacked aggressively with 5km to go, but could not hold on to his wheel.

Vingegaard did, however, move into second place in the overall general classification after Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel lost time, finishing third on a stage which also included the legendary Col du Tourmalet climb.

Vingegaard now trails Pogacar by one minute 57 seconds, with Evenepoel a further 25 seconds back.
