Tadej Pogacar has taken a commanding position in this year's Tour de France by clinching victory in the 13th stage, an arduous 10.9-km uphill time trial, on Friday.

The defending champion showcased his climbing prowess, clocking 23 minutes and overshadowing Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard by 36 seconds. Despite equipment choices, Pogacar soared with a decisive win, leading Vingegaard by 4:07 overall.
