Tadej Pogacar's monstrous performance on the Col de Pertus on the French national holiday

(PRIMASPORT) On the French national holiday, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates-XRG) put on a spectacular show at the Tour de France, triumphing in stage 10 and taking his third victory of the edition. He is the first rider to win three stages on July 14, surpassing, among others, Jacques Anquetil, whose list of victories also includes two overall victories on this special day. It was a brutal stage with a whopping 3,800 meters of elevation gain spread across 166.6 km from Aurillac to Le Lioran. The French riders conquered the day's seven climbs, with Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) the last to give up, but no one could resist the attack of the Slovenian, a four-time Tour winner, on the final climb of the day, the Col de Pertus. He ultimately took his 24th stage win of the Tour with a 32-second advantage over Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe). Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM) rounded out the day's top three and climbed into the top five overall, while Isaac del Toro (UAE Emirates-XRG) lost ground in the finale. (PRIMASPORT)
