Pogacar Holds Tour de France Lead Ahead of Stage 12 Sprint Finish

Tadej Pogacar continues to lead the 2026 Tour de France by more than three minutes over rival Jonas Vingegaard. Today's Stage 12, a 179.1 km flat route, is anticipated to conclude with a sprint finish. Cyclists are also contending with extreme temperatures, which have consistently exceeded 30 degrees Celsius and sometimes 40 degrees in earlier stages, contributing to rider fatigue.
