- Yellow jersey leader inches closer to victory in Paris on Sunday
- Miguel Ángel López wins stage by 15sec from Roglic
Primoz Roglic increased his overall lead in the Tour de France at the monumental summit of the Col de la Loze in the Savoie Alps, after seeing off his closest rival and Slovenian compatriot, Tadej Pogacar, and inching closer to final victory in Paris on Sunday.
“That was a really brutal climb,” Roglic, leader of the Jumbo-Visma team, said after extending the gap on Pogacar, of UAE Team Emirates, to 57sec. “The last three or four kilometres [of Col de la Loze] don’t compare with anything. I’m glad that this one is behind us now. On this climb, every metre counts.”
