Where it stands

Meanwhile, Tadej Pogačar continues to maintain his position as the overall race leader, holding the yellow jersey despite challenges from other competitors throughout the stages. Coverage from ESPN, The Guardian, BBC, and USA Today highlights both the tactical nature of the sprint finishes and Pogačar’s performance. Reports note a shift in momentum throughout the stages, including a period where Pogačar ceded the yellow jersey to Torstein Træen following a high-heat event won by Mads Pedersen.
