An impressive solo victory 😲 Tour de France 2026 Stage 10 Highlights

The Peloton facing a brutal stage with no less than 3,800 metres of elevation. After fireworks two years ago, will the 2026 finish be as explosive on France's Fête Nationale? Yesterday was yesterday being a rest day. Some of you could have some funny feelings at the beginning. But you will light yourself up for the day. So don't allow the first hour to dictate your day, OK? We all know rest days. So let's just keep focused. And be ready to act. Front wheel, Max, front wheel. We're coming up. Here's Vartek, just waiting for Pedersen to come back. Here he is. Pedersen's problems fixed by a simple bike change, but Tim Meunier unable to match the powerful Peloton pace. Lidl Trek in control with Mads back in position ahead of the battle for green jersey points. Here goes Max Cantor on the outside. Cantor trying to break the wheel of Pedersen here. Cantor goes to the front, Pedersen on the wheel. Gemay isn't able to go with the acceleration. But Max Cantor wants to come into the second week with a victory in the intermediate sprint. Now it's going to be close between him and Pedersen. Oh, Pedersen takes it. After multiple unsuccessful attacks, a group of 31 broke clear. And for 14th of July, the French champion Romain Grégoire in attendance with compatriots Paris-Pintre, winner on the Ventoux last year, Vauclan and Baudin. The stack group preparing for the first challenge of the day, the Côte de Bérol. The race about to come to life. OK, union's closing, union's closing. And the delay of the peloton, 1.25. The delay of the peloton, 1.25. The peloton has returned, Van Der Poel and Benjamin Thomas. The stage cracked open a combination between the Côte de Greffulhe and the Palais de Bérol. A passage that proved hard for breakaway hopefuls to survive. Pagacan UAE reeled in the struggling riders one by one. But having strong legs for the day, Javier Romo, the Spaniard first over the top in the chasing pack Baudin, De Bruyne and Paris-Pintre. The situation is as follows. There is only one man left. One man, only one man. With a 50-second lead. 50 seconds on the peloton. How much is the gap? 45 seconds. 45 seconds, Romo alone. Romo now says, that's it, game over, he's going to be caught. And now this race goes into its next phase as UAE continue with their plan of the day. Carapaz goes clear, 37.9. EF have to try something, don't they? They've got Healy still there, they've got Baudin still there. They've got some numbers, at least try and break this race up. At the Pas de Perrault summit, Richard Carapaz went it alone, building a lead upwards of 30 seconds. Behind him, Nicolas Prodom was driving at the front of the peloton, shredding plenty of riders. Special day potentially in store for teammate Paul Sexas. The GC top ten hitting the very steep Col de Portus. Carapaz holding firm with a slim minutes lead, Decathlon and Visma taking turns on the front, UAE in observation mode. And here's the attack. Pogacar decides to strike with 15.5km to go. Well, if we question whether he's on a good day, here's your answer. Pogacar in yellow just takes liftoff. And he's going to catch Carapaz before the top of the climb. He's crossed 40 seconds and he's going to go past Carapaz, like he's standing still on this mountain. They need to work together and go flat out and try and catch the yellow jersey. Remco Evenepoel is in all sorts of trouble. He's the boss here on stage number 10. He takes revenge for being beaten last time. It's three stages in this year's Tour. And Wengergaard, is he there? No, he's not. Wengergaard has been dropped on the run-in. Remco Evenepoel, who struggled on the climb, is the rider who's going to take second on the stage. Wengergaard is struggling to the final of this stage 10. Second to Remco Evenepoel, resurgent ride. Cexas is there with Florian Lipovic, then Ayuso, then Schelmoza. And Wengergaard is going to ship time. He loses 44 seconds and any time bonus.
