Overview
- Tadej Pogačar won Stage 10 to Le Lioran on Tuesday with a decisive solo on the penultimate climb that carried him to the finish.
- Pogačar's victory was his third win of this Tour and the 24th of his career, and it increased his overall lead in the yellow jersey to 3 minutes 36 seconds over Jonas Vingegaard.
- Accounts differ on exactly when the attack began, with reports placing the move between roughly 900 metres and about 16 kilometres from the summit, but all outlets agree the result was a clear solo success.
- UAE Team Emirates‑XRG controlled the mountainous 166.6 km stage from Aurillac, setting a hard tempo that positioned Pogačar for his late strike and left rivals struggling to respond.
- The result pushed Remco Evenepoel into podium contention, dropped Isaac Del Toro down the standings, provoked mixed crowd reactions including some booing, and sets up tougher mountain tests in the Vosges and Alps that will decide whether Pogačar can sustain this advantage.
