Pogacar hits Pantani's record to sentence Alpe d'Huez's Tour

With a stratospheric attack, 11 kilometers from the summit, the Slovenian has crossed the finish line completely alone ahead of Richard Carapaz and Lenny Martinez. In addition to sentencing the 2026 Tour de France, the yellow jersey has surpassed the historic promotion mark set by Marco Pantani in 1995, signing one of the greatest exhibitions of the modern era.
