In demonstration, Tadej Pogacar won the sixth stage of the Tour de France alone to take the yellow jersey, Thursday in Gavarnie-Gèdre, after attacking in the Tourmalet 44 km from the finish.
After an acceleration from his teammate Isaac del Toro, the Slovenian left alone at the entrance to La Mongie, a little over 4 km from the summit of the giant of the Pyrenees.
He was followed at a good distance by Jonas Vingegaard, who gradually lost time to finish 2 minutes and 38 seconds behind his great rival, an already very significant gap.
