Cycling-Pogacar aces Tourmalet test to win Tour de France stage six

Tadej Pogacar secured a solo victory in the sixth stage of the Tour de France, moving closer to reclaiming the yellow jersey.

​Tadej Pogacar's ‌attack during ​the punishing climb to Col du ‌Tourmalet led him to a spectacular solo victory in Thursday's sixth stage ‌of the Tour de France.

Jonas Vingegaard, ‌who failed to keep up with Pogacar during the ascent to Tourmalet, finished ⁠a ​distant ⁠second over two minutes later. Torstein Traeen, who ⁠held the overall lead coming into ​the stage, suffered a crash during ⁠the descent from Tourmalet that derailed ⁠his ​attempt to reduce the gap with Slovenian Pogacar, who appears ⁠to be on course to reclaim ⁠the ⁠yellow jersey.
