Peerless Tadej Pogacar tightens grip on yellow jersey with stage 19 victory

Tadej Pogacar put on yet another dominant display of climbing ability as he won stage 19 of the Tour de France to stretch out his advantage in yellow and move closer to another slice of cycling history.

Pogacar attacked on the climb up to Isola 2000 to distance defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and break the heart of the Dane’s Visma-Lease A Bike team-mate Matteo Jorgenson, who was trying to win this brute of an Alpine stage out of the breakaway but saw a near three-minute advantage rapidly disappear.
