The 113th Tour de France resumed after its first day off with a Bastille Day battle in the Massif Central. Race leader Tadej Poga\u010dar took a hat trick of 2026 Tour stage victories, winning where Jonas Vingegaard beat him in a sprint last season. His teammate Isaac del Toro had a tough day, losing his podium spot to Remco Evenepoel and his white jersey to Juan Ayuso.<\/p>\n

A Massif Bastille Day <\/p>\n

The race entered the Massif Central on Tuesday and will visit the Vosges later this week. First came a course in which seven categorized climbs were shoehorned into the final 105 of 165 km. The big action would come on the two Cat. 1 ascents near the finish.<\/p>\n

From the start in Aurillac to the first climb of C\u00f4te de Pailherols there were several attempts to breakaway and all failed as UAE-Emirates and Visma-Lease a Bike were full of intent. Finally, a great Bastille Day mob got loose. Valentin Paret-Peintre was first over. Fugitives Harold Tejeda and Javier Romo bolted on the others. On Cat. 2 Col de la Griffoul Romo went solo as the peloton swallowed up escapees.<\/p>\n

However, the GC men, particularly Poga\u010dar, desired a Bastille Day brawl, and the last breakaway was absorbed as soon as Cat. 1 Puy Mary-Pas de Peyrol kicked up. Richard Carapaz immediately charged up the road. Decathlon-CMA-CGM set a torrid pace on the climb that dramatically streamlined the peloton. Tom Pidcock crashed on the descent.<\/p>\n

The steepest climb of the day was the penultimate one: Col de Pertus was 4.5 km of 8.3 percent. The Ecuadorian continued his raid. First UAE-Emirates and then Visma-Lease a Bike set the pace. Poga\u010dar attacked just over kilometre from the top.<\/p>\n

The world champion caught and dispatched Carapaz. Del Toro could not chase with Vingegaard, Evenepoel, Florian Lipowitz, Ayuso, Paul Seixas and Mattias Skjelmose.<\/p>\n

Poga\u010dar didn\u2019t start the final climb with a huge lead over the Vingegaard chase, but pried open a bigger gap. Evenepoel struggled to keep pace but ended up being second.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s route is similar to Saturday\u2019s, with two Cat. 4 climbs on a sprinters\u2019 day.<\/p>\n
