While many wondered if he would be slowed due to a crash Wednesday, Pogačar instead put himself in prime position for his fourth Tour victory.

One day after crashing, the 3-time champion powers through the Pyrenees to overtake Ben Healy and put himself 3½ minutes of main rival Jonas Vingegaard.

Tadej Pogacar reclaimed the yellow jersey in emphatic fashion with a solo win on the iconic Hautacam climb in Stage 12 of the Tour de France. The Slovenian now leads Jonas Vingegaard by over three minutes with five summit finishes remaining.
