Tadej Pogacar claimed his 12th stage win at the Tour de France by winning stage four, taking back the leader’s yellow jersey in a thrilling fashion. The stage marked the first major mountain climb of the race, with general classification favorites on edge as UAE Team Emirates made a bold move to reclaim the title from Jonas Vingegaard and Visma-Lease a Bike.
As the race shifted from Italy to France, overnight leader Richard Carapaz quickly fell behind as UAE Team Emirates launched a powerful attack near the top of the Col du Galibier. Pogacar, a 25-year-old from Slovenia, then solidified his position as leader by extending his advantage during the descent to the finish in Valloire, crossing the line 35 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel, with Vingegaard finishing two seconds later in fifth place.
The stage win and jersey reclaim mark a significant moment in Pogacar’s quest to defend his title at the Tour de France. With Evenepoel now trailing by 45 seconds and Vingegaard by five seconds, it looks like Pogacar will have an uphill battle to maintain his lead as the competition progresses. More updates on the race are expected to follow as riders continue their grueling journey through France.
