Pogacar earned 10 bonus seconds and finished two seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard to take the yellow jersey.
- On Monday, Tadej Pogačar won the 196-kilometer third stage of the Tour de France, sprinting away from rivals in the final climb to Les Angles and seizing the yellow jersey from Jonas Vingegaard.
- Pogačar's teammate Isaac Del Toro led out the final kilometer, returning the favor after the Slovenian let the Mexican rider win Sunday's stage in Barcelona. "It's because of Isaac today, I got some extra power in the finale," Pogačar said.
- Amidst temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius and a nearby wildfire in the French Pyrenees, Pogačar earned four more bonus seconds than Vingegaard, erasing his six-second deficit from the start of the day.
- Richard Carapaz finished third, while 19-year-old French debutant Paul Seixas took fourth place; despite being tied on overall time, Pogačar leads the general classification due to superior stage finishes.
- The peloton faces a 181.9-kilometer ride from Carcassonne to Foix on Tuesday, with temperatures forecast to reach 41 degrees Celsius during the stage amid an ongoing heatwave.
