Tour de France 2026: Pogacar lands psychological blow on Vingegaard in stage four

On stage four of the 2026 Tour de France (Carcassonne to Foix, 181.9 km), Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard are level on overall time, but the Slovenian struck an early psychological blow. UAE Team Emirates-XRG seized control of the race proactively, and Pogacar distanced his rivals in a 300-metre sprint, looking dominant ahead of the tougher mountain stages. The race is being held in extreme heat.
