Tadej Pogačar dominated the sixth stage of the 2026 Tour de France in the Pyrenees on Thursday and returned to the top of the overall standings. The Slovenian defending champion triumphed on the 186.2-kilometer route from Pau to Gavarnie-Gèdre after attacking on the legendary Tourmalet approximately 43 kilometers before the finish. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
Pogačar built up a significant lead over his main rivals, and in the overall standings he pulled away from Jonas Vingegaard by 2 minutes and 44 seconds. The previous leader, Torstein Traeen, had a difficult day — according to available information he crashed and lost around half an hour to Pogačar. The yellow jersey therefore once again belongs to the Slovenian after a brief interruption. irozhlas.cz ↗
This development followed on from the previous stages, in which the lead changed hands several times. Pogačar had already put on the yellow jersey after winning the third stage, but in the fourth stage he was overtaken by Norway's Traeen following a successful breakaway. That stage was won by Denmark's Mads Pedersen, while the riders also had to contend with intense heat, which in places reached approximately 40 degrees Celsius. teraz.sk ↗
The sixth stage also brought changes in the other competitions, and according to Slovak sources as many as three jerseys changed hands. The coming mountain days will show whether Pogačar's attack on the Tourmalet opened the decisive phase of the race, or whether Vingegaard and the other rivals can still fight their way back into contention for overall victory. sme.sk ↗
