Stage 6 of the 2026 Tour de France took the riders over the Col du
Tourmalet, the climb that has featured more times than any other in
the history of the race, and for good reason - it delivers days
like this. As the Tour's first major mountain stage, it was always
likely to shape the general classification, and it did exactly
that. Torstein Træen started the day with a lead of almost eight
minutes, but there was never any real doubt that Tadej Pogačar had
his sights set on the stage and the maillot jaune. Isaac Del Toro
set a blistering pace while he could, but it wasn’t long before
Pogačar launched his trademark acceleration, even if this time it
was earlier than usual. One by one, the competition cracked. Jonas
Vingegaard was the only rider able to respond initially, but even
he eventually let the gap grow to 30 seconds over the summit and
more than a minute by the end of the descent. Pogačar wasn't
finished there. He attacked the descent with the same aggression,
extending his advantage all the way to the finish to take the
stage, reclaim the yellow jersey, and put more than 2 minutes 30
seconds into his biggest rival and the rest. Ned Boulting and David
Millar break down Stage 6 of the Tour de France 2026 Music courtesy
