Updates and reports from the 2024 Tour de France as Tadej Pogacar wins the first mountain stage to reclaim the yellow jersey.
Tadej Pogacar attacked near the top of the first big mountain pass of the Tour de France and extended his lead during the twisty, high-speed descent to take back the yellow jersey on Tuesday. Two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard did his best to limit the damage but finished 37 seconds behind on stage four, with the race crossing back into France after the opening stages in Italy.
There was about 20 kilometres of descending to the finish and Pogacar extended his lead over the more cautious Vingegaard, who suffered a high-speed crash in April and broke his collarbone and ribs and had a collapsed lung.Pogacar, who also wore yellow after Stage 2, is aiming for the rare Giro d'Italia-Tour double after dominating the Italian Grand Tour in May.He's also aiming for his third Tour title after wins in 2020 and 2021. He was runner-up to Vingegaard the last two years.
