El esloveno Tadej Pogacar del UAE Team Emirates dio un golper de autoridad en la etapa 12 del Tour de Francia, en busca de su cuarta victoria.

Overview

  • Stage 11’s 156 km loop around Toulouse featured three fourth-category climbs and the steep 800 m Mur de Pech David to disrupt sprinter teams.
  • Jonas Abrahamsen out-sprinted Mauro Schmid to take a shock victory that gave Uno-X Mobility its first Tour de France stage win.
  • Defending champion Tadej Pogacar crashed into a median with under 4 km to go and suffered only superficial abrasions after rivals slowed the peloton to wait for him.
  • A spectator wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh breached the finishing straight but was quickly tackled by security without impacting the sprint outcome.
  • Ben Healy retained the yellow jersey with a 29-second lead over Pogacar as riders prepare for Stage 12’s summit finish at Hautacam.
