Tadej Pogacar bounces back to clinch sixth stage of Tour de France

UAE Team Emirates rider Tadej Pogacar unleashed a devastating turn of speed to win the sixth stage of the Tour de France on Thursday.

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard still kept the overall race lead 25 seconds ahead of the Slovenian.

On the Tour's first summit finish, UAE Team Emirates leader Pogacar give it his all with two kilometres to go and finished 24 seconds ahead of Vingegaard. Overnight leader Jai Hindley now sits in third place.

Pogacar's comeback would give him a psychological edge over Vingegaard even though the defending champion took the overall leader's yellow jersey.

The Slovenian, who lost ground to Vingegaard in Wednesday's first mountain stage, resisted his rival's attack in the Col du Tourmalet before going solo on the final climb to Cauterets-Cambasque and beating the Jumbo Visma rider.
