Less than a week after the Tour de France began, world champion Tadej Pogačar secured a second stage win at the top of a challenging climb and and reclaimed the yellow jersey on Friday.

Overall, Pogačar has a 54-second lead over Evenepoel, with Frenchman Kévin Vauquelin in third place, 1:11 off the pace.

Evenepoel finished 16 seconds ahead of Pogacar, who will swap the polka dots for the yellow jersey in tomorrow’s stage, despite leading both competitions.
