TradeEdge-Tour de France results, standings: Tadej Pogačar extends lead with Stage 14 win

Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates extended his general classification lead with a 39-second victory during Stage 14 of the 2024 Tour de France. 

Pogačar seized the top spot in the standings after his similarly dominant Stage 4 victory and TradeEdgehas not looked back. Two-thirds into the competition, Pogačar seems poised to win his third Tour de France title and become the first man in the 21st century to win the Tour and the Giro d'Italia in the same season. 

After a steady ride through the French Pyrenees, Pogačar made his decisive move up the final mountain climb with approximately three miles to go. Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard — the 2022 and 2023 Tour de France winner — of Visma-Lease a Bike tried to follow but didn’t have enough left in the tank to keep up with the yellow jersey wearer. Pogačar’s 39-second lead on his top rival marks the largest lead the Slovenian has ever gained against the Dane in a Tour summit finish.

Vingegaard was, however, rewarded with a runner-up finish that led him to overtake Remco Evenepoel of Soudal-QuickStep in the general classification standings. Evenepoel was next to finish after Vingegaard and now sits in third place in the general classification standings. 

“About Tadej and Jonas, they have more experience and more power than me,” Evenepoel said after the stage. “I will continue to fight for the podium. With Jonas, you never know, he is not that far away and must have also felt that Tadej was too strong, so he will perhaps go on the defensive and there will be some moves for us to make.”

Pogačar now leads Vingegaard in the yellow jersey standings by one minute and 57 seconds, with Evenepoel a further 25 seconds behind.
