Overview
- Tadej Pogacar conquered the 10.9 km uphill time trial to Peyragudes in under 24 minutes, marking his fourth stage win of the 2025 Tour and 21st career victory.
- He finished 36 seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard, boosting his overall lead to 4 minutes and 7 seconds in the general classification.
- Pogacar’s use of a standard road bike instead of a time-trial model underscored his versatility on steep gradients.
- Primoz Roglic secured third on the stage, while Remco Evenepoel dropped to 12th but held third overall by only six seconds over Florian Lipowitz.
- Riders now turn their attention to Saturday’s summit finish at Luchon-Superbagnères, where climbers will aim to chip away at Pogacar’s commanding lead.
