Defending champion Tadej Pogacar of the UAE Emirates team launched a blistering attack on a late climb to win stage six of the Tour de France and reclaim the overall leader’s yellow jersey on Thursday.
He then warned his rivals he couldn’t wait for the mountains, with a first summit skirmish expected on stage seven on Friday.
“It feels like the first time I had it,” Pogacar said while pulling at the yellow jersey he last wore on the 2021 final podium beneath the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
“It was a real battle to get it again,” he said.
