BARCELONA, Spain, July 4 : Jonas Vingegaard's dream of recapturing the Tour de France yellow jersey after a gap of three years came true on Saturday, marking a remarkable comeback from a harrowing crash in 2024.
BARCELONA: Jonas Vingegaard took an early lead in his quest for a third Tour de France title as the Visma-Lease a Bike rider recorded the fastest time in stage one — a 19.6-km team time trial in Barcelona — with a finish in 21 minutes and 47 seconds on Saturday. Italian Filippo Ganna (Netcompany-Ineos) finished eight seconds slower, while defending champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was third, coming in 12 seconds behind Denmark’s Vingegaard, who claimed the yellow jersey for the first time since 2023.
BARCELONA, July 3 : Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar is the "undeniable favourite" for this year's Tour de France, which begins in Barcelona on Saturday, according to Tour director Christian Prudhomme.
BARCELONA: Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar said on Thursday that his rivalry with Jonas Vingegaard is pushing both riders “to new heights.” The pair have won the last six editions of the Tour de France between them, and have finished first and second in each of the last five — something which had never happened before. Slovenian Pogacar has four Tour wins to Vingegaard’s two but the Dane has won all three of cycling’s Grand Tours following his Giro d’Italia victory in May. World champion Pogacar has yet to win the Vuelta a Espana, where he finished third in his only appearance in 2019. And the 27-year-old insisted that the Tour is not going to be a straight fight between him and Vingegaard, 29, pointing to his own UEA Team Emirates team-mate Isaac del Toro as a potential challenger. “I don’t think that he’s the only one that can come close,” Pogacar said about Vingegaard. “I think that there are quite a few guys here that can aim for the victory, right next to me,” he added at Thursday’s pre-Tour press conference, indicating Mexican Del Toro. “But the competition between me and Jonas, of course, the last few years was spectacular. “And I think it will continue for a few more years, I hope. We will see. “I think we push each other to the new heights every year. So we will see how far we go this year.”
BARCELONA, Spain, July 2 : Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar is looking forward to continuing his "spectacular" rivalry with Jonas Vingegaard when they meet again as the main contenders in the Tour de France which begins on Saturday in Barcelona.
BARCELONA, July 2 : French cycling prodigy Paul Seixas said on Thursday that he is ready to live his childhood dream when he makes his Tour de France debut on Saturday.
BARCELONA, Spain, July 1 : Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar will chase a record-equalling fifth Tour de France title when the 2026 edition begins in Barcelona, Spain, on Saturday, with Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard and France's Paul Seixas poised to provide the stiffest competition.
