Actually, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) was alone since the second kilometer of the climb to the top of Hautacam. But not only did he come to the summit alone, he now sits alone at the top of the general classification. He put a bit over two minutes into Vingegaard on the way up, reversing what had happened the last time the duo raced each other on the fabled climb three years ago. He now has a three-and-a-half-minute lead over his main rival in the quest for Yellow. This is his third stage victory of this Tour and the third time he will claim the Maillot Jaune. I doubt he will lose it again for the remaining nine stages. I guess the real question is, what will be his advantage in Paris?
