Four-time winner Tadej Pogacar’s Stage 10 victory on Tuesday made him the first to win three times on Bastille Day in the Tour de France.
The 27-year-old Slovenian collected his 24th career stage win by finishing the mountainous 166.6-kilometer trek from Aurillac to Le Lioran in 3 hours, 58 minutes and 8 seconds. It was his third stage win of 2026.
Pogacar passed Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz on the penultimate ascent of the day at Col de Pertus and pulled away, finishing with a 32-second margin over runner-up Remco Evenepoel of Belgium with 19-year-old Frenchman Paul Seixas edging Germany’s Florian Lipowitz for third place.
Pogacar strengthened his grip on the yellow jersey, extending his overall lead to 3 minutes and 36 seconds over Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard. Evenepoel is third, followed by Spain’s Juan Ayuso and Seixas.
Stage 11 on Wednesday is one for the sprinters, a flat 161.3-kilometer journey from Vichy to Nevers. The 113th Tour de France concludes in Paris on July 26.
