Pogacar wins Tour de France Stage 13 time trial, widens gap over rivals

Defending Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar extended his lead at this year’s race with a second straight stage win in the Pyrenees during Stage 13 of cycling’s most prominent race.

Pogačar, the favorite to repeat as champion, tightened his hold on the yellow jersey by posting the best time in Friday’s individual time-trial in the mountains after a dominant performance 24 hours earlier to put himself back in the overall lead.

Pogacar was 36 seconds faster than rival Jonas Vingegaard on the 10.9-kilometer (6.77 miles) course Loudenvielle to Peyragudes that featured an uphill climb of 664 meters. Vingegaard had the second-best time in Friday’s race.

It was Pogačar’s fourth stage win at the 2025 Tour de France and pushed his overall lead for the yellow jersey over Vingegaard to 4 minutes, 7 seconds heading into another mountain stage on Saturday, July 19. Pogačar is trying to win his fourth Tour de France.
