Tour De France: Pogačar Wins Stage 7, Reclaims Yellow Jersey
CÔTES-D'ARMOR, BRITTANY, JUL 11 – Pogacar outsprinted rival Jonas Vingegaard on a steep summit finish to win stage seven and lead by 54 seconds, despite a crash that impacted key teammates, officials said.
- Tadej Pogacar secured victory on the seventh day of the Tour de France by outpacing Jonas Vingegaard at the summit finish on Mur-de-Bretagne, regaining the coveted yellow jersey.
- The 197-kilometer stage included two climbs of the steep Mur-de-Bretagne, known as the 'Alpe d'Huez of Brittany', making it key for the overall lead.
- Pogacar and UAE Team Emirates controlled the finale with a lead-out by Jhonatan Narvaez before Pogacar launched a sprint 200 meters from the finish to secure his 19th Tour stage win.
- A high-speed crash occurred about six kilometers from the finish involving Pogacar's teammate Joao Almeida, who is going for X-rays; Pogacar said, "If he is OK then it’s a perfect day, if not then this victory is for him."
- Pogacar leads the overall standings for the 42nd time, equaling Jacques Anquetil, with a 54-second lead over Remco Evenepoel, while Saturday’s Stage 8 is a mostly flat 171.4 km route from Saint-Meen-le-Grand to Laval.
