Tadej Pogacar took a huge step towards reclaiming the Tour de France title as he produced another superb ride to claim a second straight stage win.
As the race headed into the Pyrenees this weekend, the two big mountain stages were seen as a chance for Pogacar’s general classification rivals to potentially close the gap on the race leader.
But the two-time champion soloed to victory on stage 14 and followed that up by dismissing his competition on the climb to the stage 15 finish in Plateau de Beille.
Pogacar left Jonas Vingegaard behind to stretch his lead by another one minute eight seconds, while Remco Evenepoel crossed almost three minutes down in third.
