Vosges: Tadej Pogacar triumphed in the 14th stage of the Tour de France, held in the mountainous terrain of the Vosges, extending his overall lead against Jonas Vingegaard by four-and-a-half minutes.

According to France24.com, this victory marked Pogacar's fourth stage win in the 113th edition of the Grande Boucle. His team-mate Isaac Del Toro secured second place, edging out teenager Paul Seixas, with Vingegaard finishing fourth in the 155km stage from Mulhouse to Le Markstein Fellering. Pogacar expressed gratitude to the fans, emphasizing the extraordinary support witnessed along the route, which he described as unforgettable.

Pogacar, a four-time champion, had already established his dominance in earlier mountain stages but reinforced his superiority with a powerful late attack. This win marked his 25th Tour stage victory since his debut in 2020. The race for the remaining podium positions was intense. Frenchman Seixas gained four bonus seconds, moving to fourth in the overall standings and claiming the best young rider's white jersey from Spaniard Juan Ayuso by a slim margin of three seconds.

Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel maintained his third-place overall position, finishing just four seconds behind Vingegaard, despite being one of the first top contenders to be dropped on the final climb, the Col du Haag. The gap between Vingegaard in second overall and Del Toro in seventh is now 1:20, with Florian Lipowitz in sixth.

A group of over 30 riders initiated an attack from the first climb, the Grand Ballon. However, by the summit, six riders had broken away and remained in front until the Col du Haag. Pogacar's UAE Emirates-XRG team controlled the peloton, managing the breakaway effectively through varying weather conditions. The leading group was eventually caught, and Pogacar launched a decisive attack 1.5km from the summit, securing his stage victory with a swift descent to the finish line.
