Tadej Pogacar extends Tour de France lead in Stage 19
A signed yellow jersey awarded to legendary american cyclist Greg Lemond in the Tour de France is seen in College Cyclery in Midtown Reno on Feb. 8, 2023. The store recently celebrated its 50th anniversary of being in business.
Ren College Cyclery 04 Tour de France leader Tadej Pogacar strengthened his hold on the race with a solo victory Friday in Stage 19.
The 25-year-old Slovenian used his climbing skills to finish the 145-kilometer Alpine trek from Embrun to Isola 2000 a full 21 seconds ahead of American Matteo Jorgenson and 40 seconds in front of Britain's Adam Yates.
A two-time champion, Pogacar retained the yellow jersey and extended his overall lead to more than five minutes ahead of Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard entering the weekend's final two stages.
Saturday's Stage 20 is a 132.8-kilometer mountain ride from Nice to Col de la Couillole.
