Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) struck a major blow by winning the 4th stage of the Tour de France, the first in high mountains, this Tuesday. Coming out on the slopes of the Col du Galibier, the Slovenian picked up bonuses at the summit, before winning solo at the end of an ultra-fast descent. He seized the Yellow Jersey from Richard Carapaz (EF Education-Easy Post32nd at 5’10”), and created a first lead over his competitors for the final victory, including Jonas Vingegaard (Visma Lease a Bike), fifth at 37 seconds.
