Tadej Pogacar Wins Tour de France Stage 10 on Bastille Day, Extends Overall Lead

Tadej Pogacar continued his dominance in the Tour de France by winning the 10th stage on Bastille Day, July 14, 2026. The stage, which finished at the summit of La Lure, featured a grueling 3,800 meters of cumulative climbs. Pogacar launched a decisive attack on the penultimate climb, Col de Pertus, distancing himself from his main rival Jonas Vingegaard and also overtaking Richard Carapaz, who had attempted a long-range move.

The Slovenian rider secured his third stage win of the season and the 24th of his career in the prestigious race. He finished 32 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel and 34 seconds ahead of Pello Bilbao. Jonas Vingegaard, who struggled to respond to Pogacar's attack, dropped back in the final meters and finished seventh, 44 seconds behind the winner.

With this victory, Pogacar extended his overall lead over Vingegaard to 3 minutes and 36 seconds, moving closer to his fifth Tour de France title. Remco Evenepoel remains third overall, 4 minutes and 6 seconds behind Pogacar. Juan Ayuso, Pello Bilbao, and Florian Lipowitz moved ahead of Isaac Del Toro, who lost the white jersey to Ayuso. The race now heads into its next stages with Pogacar firmly in control.
