Tadej Pogačar posts decisive performances in the early stages of the Tour de France, winning key mountain stages and changing the race lead. Multiple reports say Pogačar wins stage three, taking the yellow jersey from Jonas Vingegaard. Other coverage then describes Pogačar delivering another dominant result on stage six, where he regains the yellow jersey. One account adds that Pogačar starts stage six level on time with his rival Vingegaard and ultimately reclaims the leader’s place, while another notes he has the same effect after the day’s racing begins and he moves ahead of the rider holding yellow at the time.
Across the articles, the common thread is Pogačar’s repeated success in mountain terrain and his ability to capture or reclaim the yellow jersey during consecutive stages. One outlet also frames the stage six win as a step toward a potential record-equalling fifth Tour victory, while another notes Pogačar’s overall run of multiple wins in the mountains. Separate reporting also mentions that Mathieu van der Poel wins stage nine, with Pogačar retaining yellow afterward, indicating the lead remains with him despite other stage winners.
