Pogacar Sacrifices for Del Toro in Tour

Published August 22, 2026 · Updated August 22, 2026 · El País

Tour de France leader Tadej Pogačar sacrificed personal glory to help teammate Isaac del Toro, giving up 45 seconds in the general classification to preserve del Toro's podium position and white jersey.

During a key stage near the Alpe d'Huez summit, Pogačar allowed del Toro to attack while maintaining a strategic position behind. After a kilometer, Pogačar took over the pace-setting for his teammate, having already pulled for 60 kilometers from the Galibier.

The Tour leader notably renounced the opportunity to become the first rider in history to win two consecutive days at Alpe d'Huez, prioritizing team success over individual achievement. ipl-cricket.in
